Jedeite went into the room, holding a pack of ice on his head.
"What happened to you?"Nephrite asked.
"I went looking for Rei, and, um, someone accidentally pushed me, and I fell into the girls' restroom, so, I got beat up."
"You fell in-"Nephrite burst out laughing.
"It wasn't my fault!"Jedeite fumed. "I was pushed! Someone's idea of a joke!"
"And I missed it?"
Jedeite glared at him. He wasn't about to admit that he'd actually walked in himself. Then he'd never hear the end of it. Nephrite would make sure of that. He just hoped that no one else had noticed, and wouldn't be able to tell him the truth.
"Well, it looks like no one had a good time, after all."said Kunzite, who was playing chess with Zoicite.
"Check!"
"No, you're cheating."
"I would never cheat!"Zoicite told him.
"Jedeite certainly did. Did you see anyone you knew? What were they talking about? I've always heard the ladies room is always cleaner. You probably overheard interesting conversations. Who was in there? Or were you trying to spy on someone?"
Jedeite wanted to kill him.
"I told you it wasn't my intention to go in there!"he burst out again.
"You were probably wanting to know what Rei was saying. Was she in there? Who beat you up, by the way? I should send them flowers. Wow. They really did a good job! They must've been furious!"
"I really didn't see who! I was just bombarded!"
"Well, whoever it was, we don't want to give them motives for disliking any of us."said Kunzite.
"But did you hear, Kunzite? He actually went inside the ladies room. Who'd have thought Jedeite would have taken such a dare."
Everyone except Jedeite laughed.
"It wasn't a dare! I slipped!"
"I thought you said you were pushed."
"Well, both."
"I'm starting to think you're lying."
"I'm not!"
"Well, you're mistaken by one thing, Kunzite, I did enjoy myself. I should remember to thank Mina and Darien. So not everyone had a rotten time."
"Did anyone ever find Ami's shoes, by the way?"
"Well, er, yes. You see…"Zoicite looked very uncomfortable. "Um, I actually…did know where her shoes were."
Everyone looked at him.
"Where?"
"I…actually…put them somewhere for safekeeping."
"What?"
"Where?"
"Nowhere."he answered quickly. "By the way, you aren't paying much attention to the game."he told Kunzite.
"Forget the game."Nephrite stepped in. "Where are the shoes? What would you do with a girl's shoes?"
Zoicite waved his hand, and shrugged.
"Nothing. They never showed up. Someone must have thrown them away, or something. I have to go to study for a test tomorrow."he got up.
"Since when does Zoicite not start studying a week before a test?"asked Nephrite.
