"Cordelia?"

"What?" she asked while staring at herself in a mirror. "I need time to finish my eyeliner."

"Cordy, you're beautiful enough without it. Now will you please turn around so I can..."

"Wow, a compliment from the dork!" she exclaimed as she turned to face him. "What do you want?"

"Wanna go Bronzing tonight? On a date?"

Cordelia stared at him blankly.

"You know, since we're dating?"

"Me and you? Dating?" she laughed. "Listen, making out does not mean we're dating."

"Then what does it mean?"

She closed her mirror and grinned. "It means that you're a clueless loser."
