fairytale in the making

As am I. You got him a ballista kit thing for his birthday? That’s so cool! Yeah, I don’t really think it would be. Um..I have an idea in mind, but I’m still not too sure yet. I want to think it through first and try to not suck at getting him something.

Yeah, it seemed like something he would like. And he did, but his mom didn't like all the stuff he ended up breaking with it. It's still really cool, though. Oh, what's the idea, if you don't mind me asking? It's probably great. 

I haven’t either, actually. I’m debating on what to get Holden. Maybe we should take a shopping trip and try to figure out what to get Steven and Holden.

That sounds like a really good idea because I'm completely at a loss. I got him that ballista kit thing for his birthday, but I don't know if getting him another mini weapon is very Valentine's-esque. What were you thinking for Holden?

Are you sick? Should I take you to the doctors? 

No, no I'm not sick. I just um...well I mean I still love Valentine's Day, obviously. I always have. I've just never had like...you know someone on Valentine's Day before. I don't know how to go about that?

I should, but… Uh, where would one find a bodysuit? They don’t sell those at the mall. do they?

Oh...right. Um...order it online? Oh, no wait! You could get one of those scuba diving suits. That could work.

Yeah, how did you forget that?

I have no idea, it's...un-Lucy of me.

You’re a life saver, Lucy. I’ll pay you in Disney movies and pizza.

That's the only type of payment I'd ever accept anyway.

Oh…that actually would be really great! I think they were gonna give those to Hannah a little while ago but she got better before I picked up the prescription. Are you sure he doesn’t need them?

Positive. He hasn't been sick in weeks and if Hannah needs them, I can bring them over as soon as possible.

Get your crap together. I’m one of the least romantic people I know and I’m ahead of the fairy tale princess? That’s not okay. 

I'm working on it, I promise! I've just never...you know, actually had someone on Valentine's Day before. Fairy tales don't prepare you as well as I thought they would.

And I’ve had my plans solidified for a month now. What kind of backwards world is this?

This is kind of scary. 

No, applied online, which seemed more convenient, but now I think that’s where it all went downhill…

You might want to call them and straighten that out. Or wear a body suit if you get the job. But I'd recommend the first one.

I just applied to PetsMart today. Somehow, I forgot that I’m allergic to dogs until after I submitted the application.

Didn't you have to go into the store to get the application? 

Is there a party coming up? All work and no play makes Tori a dull girl.

I haven't heard of any lately. Maybe someone will throw one for Valentine's Day or something?

Nah, she’s just been a little sniffly. It’s been kind of cold.

Oh, I see. Henry still has some of these medicinal sucker things the doctor suggested I get him from awhile ago. He doesn't need them anymore if you want them?

Oh god, I hope so. She’s been a little mopey lately. I think she’s on the verge of coming down with something.

Oh, no. That's not good. Does she have a fever or anything?

I don't own any buttered pants, though. Plus, I was wearing a dress when I got stuck, which made it even more unfortunate. Which still means the chai lattes were much much riskier.
