Disclaimer: Ugh, want Cain don't own him , not even the hat.

" Ugh I hate Valentine's . It's never fun when your single. You buy your own chocolate and sit in front of the t.v. watching chick flicks. Naturally the O.Z. doesn't have television so I can't do my annual ' DG alone on Valentine's Day' pity party. Even Glitch and Raw have girlfriends. I don't think Mr. Cain does though. " Her chest tightened at the thought of Cain dating. She'd know if he did...right. " I see if he wants to hang with me on this cursed holiday."

She worked her way to his room. The door was open. She looked at him. What the fuck ? He was putting a tuxedo on his bed. He owned a tuxedo. Visions of Mr. Cain in a tuxedo made her blush. " Please Mr. Cain , don't tell me you have a girlfriend too. I mean I wish you love and happiness but not today. Today I 'm selfish and want someone to hate this holiday with. "

He turned around shocked. " Don't you knock ?"

" Don't you know to close your door, especially with your nosy charge around ?" She gave a slight smile but it faded. " So you have a girlfriend ?"

" Well if you must know , nosy princess, I have a date. Hopefully a girlfriend tomorrow, maybe more." He gave a hopeful smile she had never seen before.

" Oh, congrats. Any woman would be lucky to have a gentleman like you. " DG faked a smile. ' My heart is breaking. I really hate this holiday. Do they ice cream in the O.Z. ? Krispy Kreme ? Maybe my parents will allow me to use a travel storm to go get junk food ? One can hope' she thought.

" Thank you , kiddo. Hopefully she will see that . "

DG gulped. ' 'Kiddo'. I have never hated a word more than Kiddo.' " Well I'm happy your happy. " She backed out his room then raced back to her room. She flopped on her bed and started crying in her pillow. It was then she noticed a red rose with a note attached to it. She read it.

' Roses are red Violets are blue I know you have been lonely like me too.
Meet me at ' Cero's' tonight at eight If you want to see who has fallen madly in love with you.'

Love,
Your Secret Valentine

DG was utterly confused but a smile crept across her face. " Someone's madly in love with me. Now to find a way to get to that restaurant without making a scene." Okay so the person she wanted had someone else and she did want to continue to cry but curiousity got the best of her. She squeed as she ran down the hall to find a way to meet her mystery Valentine.

What she didn't see was Cain in the shadows smiling. Jeb approached his Dad. " I take it she found your note, Dad."

" Yep. First part of Operation : Get DG to fall in love with me is a success. "

Jeb chuckled. " You have permission to court her?"

" Yes. More than court her in fact. Apparently the whole kingdom thought DG and I were dating in secret. Gossiping hens they are.Ahamo thought I was asking for DG's hand in marriage. He was shocked when I told him I just wanted permission and help to date her."

" Honestly Dad since the time you two met two annuals ago, everyone thought you guys belonged together. It was hard for me to want to see you two together, even rumors together but I like the effect she has on you."

" So do I." Father and son hugged. " So do I."

" Wait a minute ,dad.How many people are helping you exactly? "

" Ahamo , the Queen, Azkadellia, the staff , the staff at 'Cero's', you."

Jeb laughed. " You really do have a covert operation going on here don't you ?"

Cain grinned proudly. " Yes, yes I do. Now for your part in this..."
