The next few days went by mostly uneventfully. There was one event that was interesting. The day before the dance, Boomer snuck away from his brothers and went to the Townsville Jewelry Shop. "Hello! Good afternoon young man," said a bleach blonde haired girl, who had obviously dyed her hair, from behind the counter. "Can I help you?"
"Um, yeah. I'm looking for sweetheart necklaces. One in the shape of a key and the other in the shape of a heart with a key hole in the middle. Have anything like that?"
The girl behind the counter smiled. "Found someone special?"
Boomer blushed deeply and smiled, "Yes. Very special."
Boomer stepped closer to the glass to look in as the lady pulled out two necklaces. One was a sliver heart with small silver studs and a key hole in the middle. The other one was a silver old fashioned key. Bother were on silver chains.
"Their perfect," Boomer said. Now came the hard part. Boomer had brought $100. "How much?" he asked nervously.
The lady pushed all different colored and sized buttons on the cash register. She turned back to him and said, "All in all, with the taxes, it is $125."
Boomer's heart sank. "Oh. Never mind then." Boomer started to walk away but the lady stopped him.
"Wait!" Boomer turned around.
"But I don't have enough money," he said as he shoved his hands into his pockets
"How much did you bring?"
"Only one hundred. I didn't think it would be more."
The lady looked a little nervous. "What if I use my employee discount?" She pushed more buttons. A small smile appeared on her face after she hit the final button. "With my discount the price of both is $110. I'll pay the ten, but you have to put up the rest. Deal?"
"But you don't have to."
"But I want to," she pushed even more buttons and I handed her my money as she took her money out and paid for the two necklaces.
The lady put them both in ocean blue velvet boxes and put the boxes in a bag. As he took the bag from the lady he said, "You didn't have to do that you know."
"Yeah I know. Now, have a nice day."
"Thanks," Boomer said walking out of the store and started to fly home. His plan was to give Bubbles her necklace sometime tomorrow before the dance.
Awwe. Boomer is so sweet. THE DANCE IS COMING SOON!
