"Lacey please come! It'll be such a drag.. I cannot stand high class parties with the champagne and the music and the stiff people!" Wendy whined, trying to get Lacey to crack. Tyler wanted Wendy to come to some company party. He invited Lacey, too, but the only problem was that she needed a date. She said she would rather die than showing up single. Wendy figured she was trying to hint that she wanted Wendy's boss (who's name is currently unknown to Wendy and friends, but Lacey figured it was only a matter of time until she found out what it really is) to come with her, but Wendy already explained that he was busy (which was a total lie, he just refused to come).

"Wendy, I already told you no. Unless you have a date for me, but I highly doubt that. Especially since your boss is supposedly filing some files at work, so I guess no date for me! And you know what that means!" Lacey smiled before turning around. As she turned around, however, Pip walks into the room.

"Lacy, seriously. What part of 'Don't park your scooter there', don't you get?" He yells, flailing his arms in the air while doing so. Lacey's face reddens as memories of last nights dream pops into her head.

When the elevator reached her floor, she stepped out of it. "Lacey," he mumbles softly, and she looks up to meet his eyes. His hand reaches out to touch her cheek, and she places her hand over his.

"Pip," she whispers. "I've been waiting so long for the moment you can hold me again!" She says, louder this time, and adding a dramatic sigh afterwards for effect.

"Then come here!" He pulls her closer and then-

"Hey, Pip?" Lacey snaps back into reality as she realizes what Wendy's thinking. She whips around and looks at her friend with a threatening look.

"Oh, Wendy. No! Please don't!"

Pip looks at them expectantly. "Look, I don't have all day. What is it?"

"Do you like fancy parties?" Pip looks at Wendy with a look that totally read 'duh!'.

"What do you think?" He snaps back, and Wendy's lips form a smile. She looks at Lacy one last time before stepping past the point of no return.

"Tyler's company is having a party . Lacey needs a date, and we would all love that you would be it!" Pip looks disgusted.

"You've got to be kidding me? She can't get her own date, and you've come to me as a last resort? What has this world come to?"

"So is that a yes?"

"Nope. It's a no. Now Lacey, move your damn scooter now," he demands. Lacey smiles smugly, but the smile is instantly erased when Wendy says, "She's not going to, unless you go as her date." Pip swears under his breath, and looks up at the ceiling and then back at Wendy. Then he glances at Lacy, and bites his lip.

The two friends don't know this, but this actually sort of hurts him. Back when little Vladdy was roaming earth (however no one, but The Middleman, Wendy, and Edna knew about that. And even Edna doesn't count.. She's a robot!) Lacey and Pip were looking for Noser. During the time, Pip developed a little crush on her. And when she kissed him to get the tape of Noser and his dummy back he really started liking her more. Only, then she slapped him, and it wasn't like he was being a pig! Okay, so he made a comment, or two, but really? Slapping him? How cruel could the woman get? Anyway, so to be Lacey's date would kill him on the inside (but really, he's just being a total drama queen), and he couldn't bear the thought of spending a whole night with Lacy Thornfield after what she did to him.

"Fine. Now get your ass outside, and move that damn piece of crap you call a scooter!" And then he leaves. Wendy smiles at Lacey.

"There. It's settled your going."

"You're going to hell for that, Wendy Watson." Wendy only smiles and then leaves the room.
"GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE!" Lacey jumps and sees Pip in the doorway, and clenches her fist. It's going to be one hell of a night for Lacey. She can tell.
