Zoicite and Jedeite looked shocked. Zoicite rushed to Ami's side.

"Where are your shoes?"asked Jedeite.

"I-I"Ami stopped. "I left them, I took them off when I went you see, I was so uncomfortable in them! I-"she didn't know what else to say, and covered her face.

"We'd better clean this up. Is there a first aid kit here?"he looked around.

"But I can't walk all the way!"Ami exclaimed.

"Well, that's not a problem."said Zoicite.

He lifted her up.

'Wha-? No!"Ami blushed. "I-I can walk! Or limp, at least!"

Ami just wanted to hide her face.

"I can go myself!"

"But you'll get an infection.!"

"I'd much rather get the infection! Everyone's looking, and-"

Ami just hid her face.

"Just what are you doing?"she kept asking weakly. "Just put me down, down, down!"

"Here we are!"he said, and he put her down on a bench.

Ami looked as though she were about to cry, and her face was so red, it contrasted sharply with her blue dress. She kept covering it. Zoicite took the bandages, and began to clean the wound.

"It doesn't look very deep."he said, gently. "although, it must hurt and sting quite a bit."

"It's not that! It's-I forgot my shoes, in front of everyone, and"

"What's wrong? You can't be so sensitive to the pain!"

"I should never have come!"

"Well, at least it's only a small wound. I guess it's lucky I'm studying to be a doctor."

"I just"■

He started to wrap a bandage around it.

"Well, I guess we should try to find your shoes. We shouldn't leave here without them. I know just how much store you girls set by them. And they must have cost a fortune."

"It was Mina's idea to buy the shoes! I shouldn't have listened to her!"

Zoicite thought he was secretly glad that Mina had persuaded her. He should remember to thank Mina, too. Although he had only known Ami for a little while, he felt he cared about her. Although she was shy, and didn't talk much, he felt that he cared about her. That he knew her.

"I think we had better leave, then"he said. "I don't think that we could stay here longer. Do you want me to take you home."

"No! I'll wait until Bunny, and everyone else goes."she said.

Jedeite waited nervously as he watched Zoicite take Ami towards where the first aid kit was kept, and waited for Rei to come out. He looked at his watch. It had almost been fifteen minutes. What if Rei was lying on the floor, unconscious! Or perhaps she had suffered an accident, similar to Ami's. He walked back and forth, thinking. Perhaps Rei was in trouble! But┘he couldn't walk into the girls' room. Well, he would have to! He walked towards the restroom. No one was around. He opened the door, and looked in.

"Rei?"he called out.

The few girls who were in there, shrieked.

"What are you doing in here!"he heard Rei's voice.

"Rei!"he ran in.

"What do you think you're doing!"she exclaimed through clenched teeth, and pulled him out. "have you lost your mind!"she yelled at him.

"Well, I thought you were in trouble."he said.

"I probably am now! What were you thinking!"

"Well, you see, Ami injured herself, and thinking something similar happened to you, I decided to see if you were all right."

"I want to go home right now, I can't take much more of this!"

Lita was reapplying her make up when Jedeite walked in. Rei looked as though she were about to murder him. I feel sorry for him, she thought, watching Rei pull him away.

With Ami's foot cut, and Rei about to murder Jedeite, everyone decided to go home before something else happened. Bunny, Mina, and Lita seemed very sorry that they had to go, but agreed that it was probably best, considering that Ami was unable to keep standing. They couldn't find her shoes.

Just what happened to Ami's shoes? Well, find out in my next story.
