"I really think I need to take a break!"Lita said, sitting down in the same chair Ami had sat in just before. She really had to congratulate Mina on her idea to have Darien get his friends to bring them. Most guys she knew were either too short, or they didn't like to dance. Nephrite was neither.

"At least you're not clumsy."Nephrite told her.

"Clumsy?"

"Of course. A lot of girls I know are."he rolled his eyes. "I'm glad Darien asked me to bring you. Otherwise, it would've ended up in a perfect disaster."

"It already is a disaster."Lita giggled.

She pointed to the debris that someone had stumbled into just before.

"And just look at your poor friends over there."

Mina was laughing in Elizabeth's face, while Elizabeth looked furiously at something in Kunzite's hand. Rei was yelling at Jedeite, who looked bewildered, probably wondering what he'd done wrong.

"Your friend with Rei doesn't have much luck, does he? Or is Rei just not his type."

"Oh, Jedeite will be fine. He's probably just trying too hard to please her, that's all."

"Good luck, then. Rei really is hard to please."

Nephrite was about to sit beside Mina, when he noticed her shoes.

"Why are you taking your shoes off!"he demanded.

"What? My shoes? My shoes are on my feet!"she told him.

"Then what are they doing right there?"

She pulled up her skirt a few inches to show him that her shoes were indeed still on her feet.

"See!"

He looked at the other pair of shoes.

"Oh! Then how'd these get here?!"

"Probably someone's idea of a joke."Lita said, shrugging her shoulders. "Or maybe someone forgot them."

"Who would forget their shoes?"

Lita shrugged.

"Someone probably wants to pretend they're Cinderella."

"Then they'd only need one shoe, wouldn't they?"

"I don't know. Just leave them. They're probably Bunny's, anyway. If anyone would pretend to be in a fairy tale, or forget their shoes by accident, that would be Bunny all right."

"Wonder if Darien knows."

"Oh, he probably does."

Nephrite offered Lita some cookies, but she turned them down.

"I already had plenty, and I made more at home. I didn't bring more, because there was no room for them, you know."she said. "I just can't stand it when people don't cook or bake right. It's just not in them, I guess. And cooking, especially baking, should be done with just the right feeling. I think I will get some punch, though."

"Oh, did you bake all these?"

Lita nodded.

"Of course, I'm the best in my Home Ec. class. My friends say I'm the best cook, too. Better than most of their mothers, some people say. But…I just do it because I like it."

"Then you must invite me to dinner some time."Nephrite said. "Hm, these cookies are excellent! What else do you cook?"

"Oh, anything!"Lita told him. "I want to own my own chain of restaurants, bakeries, and a flower shop someday."

"You'll get rich with the bakery."Nephrite told her, devouring more cookies.

Lita smiled.

"Well, just so long as the cakes, cookies, and pastries are made with love, that's enough. We're running out, though! And it's barely been an hour! I knew I should have insisted on more!"

In reality, she had, but everyone had put their foot down, and said that the cookies were too many as it was, and that they were more than enough. The only one Lita had on her side was Bunny, who had wanted more cookies, saying that a party was no fun without food, and was trying to get them to allow them to bring a giant chocolate cake, and a chocolate fountain as well. Lita was telling Nephrite about this.

"A chocolate fountain?"

Lita nodded.

"A fountain, only instead of water, just chocolate."

"That does sound like a fabulous idea."

"It was Bunny's. Why don't we dance this next song? I love it!"
