Jules sits at her desk working on some paperwork for the foundation as Donna pops her head into the office. Jules and Sean established their offices in a funky reformed industrial space. Jules and Sean each have offices with large windows with an incredible view. Donna loves the vibe in the offices every time she visits.

Jules looks up with a thankful smile for the distraction. "Hey you… what brings you downtown my uptown girl?" Donna takes the seat in front of Jules' desk.

"I was in the neighborhood." Donna relaxes into the chair. Jules looks up puzzled. "If you were in the neighborhood… you were obviously lost. So you going to tell me what is on your mind, Red?"

Donna would love to tell her about the fifty or so things that are on her mind. She is unsure if she wants to move into Harvey's place or have a new start in a new home. She has been artfully dodging Pepper about starting the wedding plans. She is still trying to navigate the vipers in her new social circles… and last but not least…. She is stressed beyond belief about the engagement party that Pepper is throwing.

The engagement party is going to culminate with the two sides of her life colliding on an epic scale. The Paulsens, Specters, the office and high society colliding like meteorites in an asteroid belt… Yeah no stress there.

"Donna… earth to Donna."

Donna has realized that this was more than a long pause. "It's nothing?"

"Stop stressing about tomorrow." Jules puts her papers down and gives Donna her full attention. "You get to be the belle of the ball. Pepper went all out."

The engagement party is in a private room at Carnegie Hall. Pepper's parties are legendary. If he wasn't head of a fashion empire… he could make a living as an event planner.

"I know." Donna rolls her eyes a bit with a dramatic flair.

"It will be lovely, Red, you know it. I am even banned from wearing combat boots." Jules gives her a wink and a smile to try to lighten her up.

"I know… But…" Donna doesn't even finish the sentence.

"Donna, you will be the talk of the society pages by Sunday."

"That is what I am afraid of." Donna isn't looking directly at Jules which tells her that Donna is lost in her head but she is not sure why.

"You want to grab some dinner?" Jules makes an offer to try to buy sometime to figure this out. To her surprise, Donna declines by telling Jules she has plans with Harvey. Though Donna appreciated the offer of her best friend, she has a thousand things to do before tomorrow night. Louis actually gave her today to prepare. He is almost as excited as she is.

She wants some time to collect herself. This is the first society function that she is taking center stage. She is just waiting for the attack of the butterflies.

The time to the leave for the party has arrived. Harvey bought her a new Valentino dress for the occasion that fits like it was made for her. She touches up her hair and makeup as she sees Harvey's smiling reflection in the mirror.

Roses and peonies abound in the vases. The room is dressed to the nines in all of its formal splendor. The room is elegant and refined. Even Harvey is a bit blown away the scene before them. Jules always called it the theory of the Ps. Pepper's Party Prowess.

The couple mixes and mingles with family and friends. The partners from the firm are there along with Mike and Rachel and assorted work friends and associates. The guest list was expansive… Donnas is wondering what fresh hell the guest list for the wedding will bring. Sooooo many people.

Pepper is the most gracious of hosts and is a total charmer. Donna steals moments with Jules for her sanity before being swept up to meet yet more people.

Well into the evening, Pepper heads to the stage to ask Jules to make a toast to Donna and Harvey. Jules heads to the little stage and the piano and that occupies center stage. She takes the microphone from Pepper with a glass of champagne in her hand as she begins her toast. "Donna, you know I am not a fan of many words when a few will do. I wish you both love and laughter, always." Jules tips her glass towards Donna and Harvey.

Louis joins her on stage taking the mike from Jules' hand. Jules takes a seat at the piano. "Harvey and Donna, you are family to me. I hope you find love time after time."

Louis glances back at Jules who begins to play as Louis begins to sing "Time after Time." During the performance a curtain pulls back revealing an orchestra.

Harvey is actually touched by the gesture. There are moments when Louis can surprise. Donna knew Jules can play… she didn't know that Louis could sing. He puts on a dapper performance worthy of a big band leader. Harvey takes Donna's hand and sweeps her to the dance floor. As they finish. Louis offers a hand to Jules as the take a little bow. Donna and Harvey are stunned that Jules and Louis conspired for this little engagement gift but they have become friends as time has passed.

Donna's thoughts naturally drift to a thought as to what a first dance as man and wife will be like with Harvey. He is so graceful as a dancer. She has always loved dancing with him. She remembers the romance of the past summer. Her thoughts drift in and out of the future and the past. As Jules and Louis exit the stage, the orchestra continues to play another number as the other couples join them on the dancefloor.

Dancing is Harvey's way to spend a bit of time alone with his bride to be. He is not ready to let the others have her… at this moment… Donna is all his.

After several dances, Donna and Harvey find their musical pairing to thank them for the impromptu performance. Louis enjoys every second of Donna gushing. Donna needs a breather grabbing Jules to stow away in a quiet corner. They steal way to the ladies lounge for a few moments away.

It is at that moment that Donna feels it coming... an attack of the butterflies. Donna knows that though she tolerates it for a thousand reasons, Jules is not into the high society social scene. Her joke is that the Army could have never prepared her for that kind of combat. Much of the graciousness is paper thin in this world. Jules refers to the debs from both new and old money as the butterflies. There is always a ring leader that the others flit around like butterflies. In Jules summation, high society functions much like prison gangs. To Donna... its more like mean girls.

That is the moment when she hears them. She hears the words that strike to her heart and every fear she has about marrying Harvey Specter. She is the topic of conversation of a group of butterflies. Their words are less than kind. They of course gossip about her being a secretary. At the office, she is the queen bee... here... she feels like a drone. Jules catches wind of the conversation and with a smile says the one thing that will make Donna laugh. "F**k 'm, Come on, Red... time to retake the throne."

Jules has the cache of being successful in her own right and having a billionaire at your beck and call gives her substantial street cred. She gives them a look which renders them silent as she and Donna exit the room.
