Friday: LEP Headquarters, Retrieval Wing

Trouble walked down the hallway and almost made it to his cubicle when
Chix Verbil called him. "So, Captain, I hear you landed yourself a
date with my girl."

"I didn't know Holly was your girl. In fact, I think its quite the opposite."

"So its true then?"

Trouble nearly blushed. "yeah. Where'd you hear it from?" He asked a little more warily.

"I heard it from Lili who heard it from Petunia who heard it from Ivy who overheard Holly talking to Tulip (AN: for you, slime frog!) in the bathroom yesterday." The other officers in their stalls looked up, blinked, then went back to what they were doing. They figured they didn't want to know about how else Chix found things out.

"Anyway, aren't you on the nightshift?"

"Nope. Switched with Lieutenant Sprout 'cuz Holly's on this shift." Trouble rolled his eyes.

"Alright, whatever. Can I just do my job without you bothering me?"

"Fine. Be a d'arvitin'-er, be that way." Chix grumbled. Trouble sighed as he returned to his paperwork. Today was going to be a long day.

Holly had just finished putting on her dress when the doorbell rang. 'Great,' She thought to herself. 'my night of torture has begun.' She opened the door and saw Trouble looking only the slightest bit uncomfortable in a stiff suit. She got the feeling it wasn't her fault. But Trouble just stared. Her black dress had no glitter and was just short- sleeved, but on her it looked amazing. He dropped out of his reverie when Holly spoke.

"What? No flowers?"

Trouble gave her an alarmed look. "I thought you hated flowers!"

Holly giggled a little uncharacteristicly. "of course I do. I was just trying to make you nervous."

Trouble smiled, relieved. "We better get going now or we wont get there on time. I don't like being late for everything, even if you are every morning."

"You know, I just might decide to take that personally and ignore you all night." She continued as they got into the cab. "Besides, you were the one who pointed out the other morning that I was early."

"Yeah, but that was only because I didn't want Beetroot shouting while I was in the same room as him." He smirked.

"I know the real reason you do it is because you care."

"Are you sure about that?" he shot back teasingly.

About twenty-five minutes and two more playful arguments later they arrived at the old Haven recreation center. Lili and a team of her friends had decorated it for the LEP anniversary. As they walked in they linked arms while Holly sang ina whisper "we're of to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz." Trouble laughed. The doors were opened by butlers as couples reached the doors. As each pair went in, they stopped for a moment, then went on slowly. Holly stood up on her tiptoes curiously, but she couldn't see anything. When it was their turn, they looked inside and realized why.
