*Reception*
Luna stopped as she watched Cassandra storm out. She hadn't meant it that way ... No, she needed to get herself back to normal first, then she could go explain it. She headed on toward the bathrooms where, hopefully, Glenn was waiting.
*Karen's Room*
Silvite nodded. "It's a shame. She's grown into such a beautiful young woman, and there's so many other options out there, and she's gonna be obsessing over me." He sighed as he stepped toward the door. "Maybe her and I need to have a little talk."

*Reception*
Glenn sighed as he saw Luna come closer. "That's good, C found you." He said. "Sorry, but I know my brother better than anyone else. From what Cassandra told me, you don't exactly like guys in that way, but, I don't like hedging my bets." He explained to Luna.
*Karen's Room*
Ixion nodded. "Okay, but, not a single word about me being here, not to Epsilon or to Karen. Okay?" Ixion pulled out a small device, but then stopped himself. "Oh, and don't take any drinks she might offer you, no matter what they are, and check her hands for syringes if she tries to hug you."

Luna shrugged. "Eh, worst come to worst, you might have a window to pay for if he ever tried to grab my butt. Let's get this over with. I need to go tell Cassandra something."
*Karen's Room*
The Olympist grinned. "Hey, I've survived her this long, haven't I? And don't worry, as far as I'm concerned, you were never here."

*Reception*
Glenn nodded. "Right. The lock has already been removed, your time should be up by the time you get into the bathroom. What do you have to say to her anyway?"
*Karen's Room*
Ixion smiled. "As it should be. I'll be talking to you later. By the way, this thing she's planning with that guy, Glenn, or whatever his name is. Sounds lowdown, filthy and cruel. Never thought you had it in ya. But, I've got a bad feeling. Hopefully, it's just me and there's nothing to worry about. But... stay frosty." He said, flicking a switch on the device and disappearing.

*Reception*
"Just an apology," Luna answered, and as the door closed behind her, there was a bright flash of light, and Terry's voice finished the sentence, "and a thanks."
Several minutes later, he came back out dressed in a tux he had apparently had ready. "You know the crazy thing, Glenn? Women have fewer articles of clothing for these events, and it's still harder for them to get into them."
*Base*
Silvite made his way toward the kitchen, where Epsilon had said he had something to show Karen.

*Reception*
Glenn thought on it for a moment. Then he srugged. "I'd believe that, considering the way Cassandra kept whining the first time she ever tried on a bathing suit "
*Base*
When Silvite walked into the kitchen, Karen was facing away from the door and looking at something. "I don't know what the big deal is, Epsilon, we had a coffee machine before."
"But observe Mistress Karen." Epsilon said. He took the pot from the machine and held it under her nose.
The girl sniffed the drink for a bt and then looked at Epsilon. "Yeah, so?"
Epsilon seemed to smile. "It's decaffinated."
Karen spat out the cup she ws drinking. "You gave me DECAF?" She screamed.
Epsilon cringed a bit from the girl. He looked over at Silvite and looked relieved that he didn't have to stall the girl any more.

"Oh, sheesh," Terry muttered, putting a hand to his forehead. "I wouldn't even want to try to figure out how to get into one of those ..." He waved to Glenn and went outside to try to find Cassandra.
*Base*
"I think the point he's trying to make," Silvite said as if he'd been there, "is that you couldn't tell the difference. You could enjoy a cup late at night without having to worry about not being able to sleep."

*Reception*
Cassandra was sitting nearby, appearantly while Terry was changing, she was too. She wasn't in her wedding gown anymore, and was wearing a blouse and jeans. She had folded her hands over her legs and sat, appearantly brooding a bit.
*Base*
Karen sighe, clearly not even knowing Silvite was gone. "But decaf makes me gassy... Epsilon knows that." She pouted a bit as she said that.

*Reception*
"People are gonna think you look a litte strange when you share the last dance of the reception with Glenn and you're dressed in casual wear," Terry said softly as he walked over and sat down beside her. "I'm sorry if I upset you with what I said. I didn't mean it that way. I wasn't saying that you had somehow given up or given yourself over to something not you. I never meant to imply that."
*Base*
But the Olympist just shrugged as he walked over. "Put a couple drops of beano in. That's what it's for."

*Reception*
"Well, you certainly did a hell of a job not trying to imply that." She said bitterly.
*Base*
Karen frowned and looked at her coffee.... "I don't trust that stuff... never accept anything from an enemy, and that boy at the pharmacy was checking me out too much for me to trust him..."

*Reception*
"I really am sorry," Terry apologized. "Please, believe me when I say all I meant was that I wasn't as comfortable with being a woman as you are. Here you are, getting married after dating a man for so long. You've come so far, adapting to your situation. For that, you're stronger than I am because I still have a hard time even admitting I am Luna. Please, Cassandra, I meant it as a compliment, not an insult."
*Base*
Jeffery narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Did you ever stop to think he and every other guy that sees you is checking you out because they think you're hot instead of trying to think of a way to kill you?"

*Reception*
Cassandra sighed. "I'm still confused, trust me. That wasn't strength, that was just a lot of people telling me to get used to it. The whole subject is still hard for me, believe it or not. I jus hide it better. But, thanks."
*Base*
"Yes." Karen answered. "But for my own sake I like to carry a healthy does of paranoia."

*Reception*
Terry nodded. "Another thing. You were right when you advised me to try spending more time as Luna to get used to her. All things considered, today from the standpoint of being in Luna's tiny little shoes, it wasn't near as bad as I thought it'd be." He smirked. "Of course, ask me again tomorrow when I'm suffering from the hormonal hangover from being in that form for so long."
*Base*
"Paranoia is never healthy," Silvite pointed out. "It's unrational fear."

Cassandra smiled. "I told ya. Not much different from normal. And I will be very sure to ask you tommorow."
*Base*
Karen sighed, noting some sort of tension in the superhero. "Would you perfer the term skepticism?"

"No, you won't," Terry answered, grinning securely. "Tomorrow, you'll be on your honeymoon!" He let out half a giggle and slammed his hand over his mouth. "Pretend you didn't hear that."
*Base*
"Yes, that's much better," Silvite agreed, as if it were just a normal conversation. "But if it bothers you that much, just check to make sure the safety wrap's still intact."
