"Oh, boy, it'll be fun to see everyone together, won't it, Diana?"asked Small Lady.
Diana nodded.
"Of course it will, Small Lady."she agreed.
They ran out to the garden.
"Oh, boy, what do you think we'll do? Do you think there's something special planned?"she asked Diana.
"I don't know. Probably. If everyone is going to be here, I imagine so."
"We should make something special! Especially for Pluto! Do you think Jupiter will let us bake some cookies?"she asked, eagerly.
Diana nodded.
"I would think so."Diana agreed.
"Oh, boy! What flavor do you think we could bake? Or do you think a cake is better?"
They walked back to the palace, Small Lady saying a long list of things of cookies, muffins, and cakes she could bake for the Outers when they arrived.
"Everything looks just like I remember it!"said Neptune, looking around.
Uranus nodded.
"Just as I remember it."she agreed.
Neptuen and Uranus hugged.
"I'm so happy to see you!"exclaimed Neptune.
"When was the last time we saw everybody?"asked Saturn.
"Saturn!"Small Lady and Diana ran to hug her.
"It's so good to see you again, Princess Saturn."said Diana, bowing slightly, as she noticed Luna giving her a look.
"It's good to see you, too Diana."
Diana went to greet Pluto.
"And how are you doing, Pluto?"Luna asked her politely.
Pluto smiled.
"Much better."Pluto answered, smiling. "I'm so glad to see you, Diana."
"So am I."answered Diana, bowing to Pluto, as well.
"Jupiter showed me to bake!"
Small Lady took a plate of cookies.
"Uh, what exactly are these supposed to be? I can't really make out the shapes."said Uranus. "Aren't most cookies round? Or shaped like animals, or something?"
Neptune took one.
"Mmm! These are delicious! It doesn't matter what shape they are."she assured Small Lady, and took another one.
"And how are your lessons going?"Pluto asked Small Lady and Diana.
"Oh, I'm learning everything!"exclaimed Small Lady. "Jupiter is teaching me to bake, and cook so many things, but I don't like Mercury's classes! She's nice and fun, but they're hard!"she complained. "And the ones with Venus are also fun, and Mars, too! But Kunzite always has someone there! When it's not him, it's Jadeite, or Zoicite, or Nephrite!"
"I'm sure that he's just concerned for your safety, Small Lady."assured Neptune.
Small Lady sighed.
"But I can take care of myself!"she insisted. "At least Saturn gets to go by herself!"
"Saturn's different."said Kunzite in his calm, composed voice.
"And how are you doing, Saturn?"Queen Serennity asked her.
"I think she's doing wonderfully."said Neptune.
Saturn nodded.
"At least no one has to keep an eye on me."she said. "What I don't really enjoy as much is that it's boring between classes, and I miss Small Lady and Diana."
"But you can take my lessons with me!"insisted Small Lady.
She looked up to her parents, who nodded.
"Oh, goodie! That way, it'll be more fun!"
