"Not since the one she had in school...where they tried to spice up their show with pyrotechnics and set off the fire alarm." "Well," Demi said. "Maybe we should go...it isn't exactly my cup of tea either, but we could tolerate it for a night." "That may be a good idea," the other woman said, snuggling closer.
