It Valentine's Day. Susie wakes up, gets changed, and prepares her vegan heart-shaped pancakes for her family. Her dad and niece came down and smelled the fresh pancakes. After breakfast, she started to notice something in her bag, "Where are they?" Susie asked.
"Where's what Aunt Susie?" Serena asked.
"The Valentine's Day cards." Susie said in distress, "I've worked all week on those."
"I'll help you, Auntie," Serena said.
"Me too honey." Principal Singleton replied, "What did you do yesterday?"
"Yesterday before school," Susie explained. "I mailed out the bills and bought stamps and I stopped at the pet store to say, "Hi" to Mr. Emerson, then, as usual, I went to school and taught kids the basics of grammar, then I went to lunch for free drink day, then more teaching, after school I picked up the groceries, then I headed straight home."
"So the first place will check out the post office." Principal Singleton suggested.
They arrived at the post office. Serena saw that the Valentine's Day Cards on sale and their serving Valentine's Day stamps, "Serena" Susie said, "
They arrived at the pet store and Saw Emily serving Valentine's Day dog biscuits to dogs. "Hey Emily," Susie said to her friend, "Have you seen any of my Valentine's Day Cards?"
"Sorry Sue," Emily answered, "Haven't seemed them."
"I'll see you at school," Susie said as Emily left for work.
A male customer came in and rang the bell, "Excuse me I like to see the manager." he requested.
"Well," Serena said, "I can help you."
"I'm looking for a present for my wife." the man explained, "She's dying to have a puppy."
Serena looked around and found a stray beagle. She decided that it would be perfect for the man. She carried the beagle all the way out and the man thought it would be perfect. "That's the perfect pet," the main said, "I'll call it, "Cherub"."
Later they went to the Grocery store. "Look at the free samples Auntie," Serena said as he pointed to a free sample stand.
"Grocery stores always give out free samples sweetie," Susie replied to her niece.
They talk to the manager. Unfortunately, he didn't have a clue where it is.
"Now the only place left to look is at school." Principal Singleton said.
As they got to the school, they saw Michael giving Madison a Valentine's Day bag. In the gift bag was the perfume Eau De Lovestruck, a necklace with an aquamarine in it, and a teddy bear with a heart on it. Michael's gift was a heart shaped candy box in it.
Inside the school, she saw Sarah and Emma giving Brandon Valentine's Day cards, Bryoni reading Valentine's Day horoscopes to Jenny and Cathy, Lucy giving Miguel a Valentine's Day figure she bought from the thrift store, and Dean holding Valentine's Day card for Darla.
As she got her room, she saw Valentine's Day bag with a bunch of cards in them, "There they are." she said with relief, "I've left them in the classroom yesterday."
"Your so silly Aunt Susie," Serena replied.
"I'll take Serena to school before she gets tardy." Principal Singleton said to her granddaughter.
"You do that Daddy." Susie replied, "Happy Valentine's Day."
"Happy Valentine's Day beautiful." Principal Singleton replied back.
After Principal Singleton dropped his granddaughter off. He thought up a time where he and Sharon went on their first Valentine's Day date in high school where they went to a picnic dinner at the park and saw cardinals gathering twigs and worms.
Thursday came and Susie was serving Valentine's Day cookies and other treats. Sarah and Emma were staring lovingly at Brandon as usual, Dean was feeling regret that Emma is attracted to Brandon, Michael and Madison were cuddling, Lucy was texting Miguel, Jenny was texting Doug, and Bryoni and Cathy were looking at a picture of hunky celebrities.
Susie came in with Marty holding her hand, "Daddy!" Madison explained, "Why aren't you at work?
"Don't worry," Mary replied, "Mr. Simon is in charge til I get back honey."
"My dad always makes the best vegetarian meals," Sarah recalled.
"He makes a really groovy salad Sar," Emma replied.
"Valentine's Day was a really beautiful day and it's a good chance to express romance," Susie said.
"It is Miss. Singleton." Michael said as he looked into Madison's eyes.
The End.
Note: The stray beagle is a reference to my Beanie Boo, "Darlin" who I bought one time during Valentine's Day.
