"What's this?" Vida asked turning the paper card over in her hands a few times. Chip flushed and looked down at the ground.
"It's a v-valentine." He explained nervously, "Markie says girls like to receive them…"
"Ew… no… it's pink…" Vida replied crossing her arms, "and valentines was three months ago."
Chip pouted, "I was too nervous to give it to you then. It's to thank you for standing up for me and all…"
Vida sighed, "Well thank you," she wrapped her arms around her best friend, "it's the thought that counts."
"Really?" his eyes lit up excitedly.
"That's what my mom says…"
"Oh…" his face fell slightly as the hug ended.
"Well, I guess I need to give you something now…" Vida sighed as she pecked Chip on the forehead. He looked at her startled.
"What was that?"
"A kiss, Christina says that boys like to receive them."
"I don't understand the attraction…"
Chip stared at the screen blankly as Madison paused the video. "I don't remember that day at all…"
Madison laughed, "Aw, you two were so adorable."
"Why do you still have that?" Chip asked curiously. When she was younger Madison normally taped over most things in order to save money on film.
"Because it was so cute my mom refused to let us throw it out." Madison replied, "I'd just gotten my first shot with a video camera. I was so young then I really didn't know what I was filming and the camera is shaking the whole time, anyways I'll be right back, I think I heard the phone…"
Madison got to her feet and sprinted upstairs in hopes of catching the phone in time. Vida just rolled her eyes at her younger sister. That meant it was a private call, there was an extension in the basement.
"We were an adorable couple." Chip commented fondly as he wrapped his arms around the woman beside him and made "kissy" lips at her jokingly.
Vida just rolled her eyes and stuck her hand in his face, laughing. "Chip, I don't think things have changed at all."
