The Danger Shop today was set up to look like a large town square, surrounded by strange looking houses shaped like cupcakes and carousels and giant joker hats. In the center of the time square was a bucket full of apples, next to which sat Pinkie, crouched on her hind legs, holding a trombone. As the door closed behind the last student, she played a classic sad trombone riff. Don't ask how she managed this with hooves. She had skills.

When the last note faded out, a tennis ball sized bug with giant, sparkling green eyes fluttered out of the bucket of apples. It blinked adorably at the students, its eyelids making audible *plink!* noises.

Pinkie tried not to shudder visibly.

"It's cute, isn't it?" she said. "The way it flutters and blinks and it always looks like its smiling. Maybe you think it might make a nice pet. This is your assignment, today. There's a stash of musical instruments behind the joke shop, and a forest down the road. Try not to destroy the town!"

And then she trotted off. Leaving the little bug sitting on top of the bucket of apples, blinking and looking guileless and innocent.

Then it opened its mouth four times wider than its body and ate the entire bucket of apples in a single *howmp!*ing gulp, and spit the empty bucket out with a *ptoo!* And coughed up a little brown hairball -- which unfolded into a second tennis ball sized bug with a tiny smile and giant eyeballs. The two bugs began eyeing anything remotely food-like hungrily.

"Oh!" And now she was twirling her hair some more and generally behaving like the Disney girl she was. "Well. I mean. He is kinda cute."

Giggle! Aaaaand blush.

Miley, if you were waiting for Juliet to agree here, you might be waiting a while.

Yeah, when Juliet looked at her brother she really didn't think about how cute he was. But, you know, she'd had female friends before, so she'd heard it.

"People tell me that," she said, just a tiny bit dubious. "He's a really special person."

In the good way, she meant. And that part actually was sincere.

"Did you get a date with him on Saturday?"

"Nope." Sad, sad news. "On the radio, though, someone said he went on a date with someone named George, though. That's, uh. That was probably a mistake, though, right?"

Miley was not yet aware that George was the name of that slightly caustic girl she'd met yesterday. She was, however, aware that she (meaning Miley) and Jeremy had flirted with one another. Therefore, confusion.

"There's a girl George, but he hasn't mentioned her to me," Juliet answered. "I dunno. You should ask him. Radio gets stuff wrong all the time."

"Oh." Considerably less giggling and hair-twirling. Finally she wrinkled her nose in indecision. "I dunno... wouldn't that be kinda weird?"

"... yeah," Juliet had to admit, but apologetically. "Sorry I can't help? You dress better than she does, though. Like, way better."

"Oh, don't worry about it," Miley said breezily. "Hey, maybe I'll earn some points for bringing Hannah in for your birthday!"
