With the chocolate, Zoicite realized that he didn't know Ami's address. He'd have to go back to Darien's. To get at least Mina's phone number, and find out Ami's address. Once he'd done that, he went straight to Ami's, ignoring Darien's questions. Ami answered the door herself, using a pair of crutches to get around. She looked surprised to see him.
"Oh, hello. What are you doing here? How did you know where I live?"she asked him.
"I looked it up in the phone book."he said.
"I didn't know you could find addresses in the phone book. I thought only phone numbers."
"Oh, I sort of…asked around."he said. "I brought you something to make you feel better."
She looked confused.
"Really, I'm not sick. I just can't walk with my foot like this. But it'll only be for a few days."
"Yeah, I hope so."
She took the box.
"Very cute. You're the first one to give me sweets. Lita probably will later on. Some cookies, or something she baked herself. That is, if Serena doesn't finish them off before they get here."she smiled.
Lita was indeed carrying a bag of cookies when she ran into Nephlite in front of flower shop.
"Oh, hi! Looking at the flowers?"she asked, apart from cooking and baking, flowers were another pastime of hers. She felt pleased that Nephlite also enjoyed growing plants.
"Yeah,"he said. "I need to decide which ones are the best."
"Really?"said Lita, her spirits rising. She was hoping he'd planned on sending her a bouquet. "And for whom? Anyone special?"she asked casually.
"Oh, yes. Very. You see, whoever this was, accomplished something extremely comical just last night."
Lita looked startled. Comical? She didn't recall doing anything like that.
"You see, Jedeite was thrown into the girls' restroom, and apparently, he was attacked by a mob of girls."
"And you want to send them flowers?"she asked darkly.
She had been so stupid, on hoping that he'd been thinking of giving them to her. She would have to kill Rei for having acted so dramatically, and cursed herself for not having been the one who'd accomplished the feat of beating up Jedeite. Perhaps she should beat him up. She'd have to ask Mina what she thought. Mina was an expert on these things. After all, she was quite a matchmaker, and it had been her idea to get Darien to get them dates.
"Of course, if I could find the ones who threw him in, I'd send them flowers, too."
"No one threw Jedeite in!"she said, not wanting him to think about sending flowers to more people.
"What?"
"He walked in himself! I was there. He walked in, and then R-I mean, then he tripped on something, I think it must have been som-I mean, my bag, and he fell. That was it!"she shrugged.
"What?!"Nephlite looked as though his birthday had come early. "Are you serious!"
Lita nodded. She had been about to say that he had tripped over anyone's bag, but then decided to say it was hers. That way, there would be no one to congratulate on that but herself. If he was still thinking of giving out flowers.
"Of course,"she said. "I'm not sure what he went in there for. Probably mistook if for the men's room."
Nephlite laughed.
"That's just wonderful!"he said. "It's hilarious."
Lita smiled.
"Well, so, who are you sending the flowers to, after all?"she asked.
"Whose bag did he trip over? Who was smart enough to leave their bag on the floor for Jedeite."
"Mine. I don't usually leave it on the ground, but…"she shrugged.
"Then I should get you those flowers!"
Lita felt very pleased with herself. Even though she knew Rei was the one who deserved that compliment, she shrugged that aside. Rei won't mind. She won't even find out, she thought to herself. Then, looking at the cookies in the bag, she turned to him.
"Oh, I made these cookies just this morning. They're still warm. I was actually looking for someone to give them away to. I can't eat all of them myself, of course, and I make so many! Why don't you have them?"she said, forgetting that the cookies were actually for Ami.
"Oh, thanks. And thanks for your bag, too. It really has been entertaining to hear the truth about Jedeite."
"Oh, not problem."she said.
