The next morning soon came.
Patch went outside at first, lifting his ears above his head in case of rain, and wearily smiled as it stopped for now. "Whew!" The young Dalmatian smiled in relief. He then went behind a tree while everyone else slowly woke up so that he could do his business.
Darla, Amber, and Annabelle yawned and woke up.
Amber saw an envelope for her and she opened it up to see handwriting she didn't recognize which said 'Meet me at the park at 12:15 noon.' "That is strange." The girl said to herself.
"Who's that from, Amber?" Darla asked as she tied on her hair ribbon.
"I'm not sure," Amber frowned. "Should I trust it?"
"Maybe it's from Tommy." Annabelle said.
Amer blushed. "No way!"
"Way." Darla and Annabelle smirked.
"I better look my best." Amber said.
The girls grinned as they decided to help.
"Come along, Amber, my cousins from far away taught me all about fashion, oh, and Rarity too." Darla giggled.
"Let's get to it then." Amber said.
The girls giggled as they were getting Amber ready for her possible date.
"Hmm... I wonder what Tom and Jerry are doing now?" Patch asked himself. "I'm glad I got them to be friends, even though they still chase each other."
"Hey, Patch." Mo greeted.
"Hey, Mo." Patch replied.
"Whatcha doing?" Mo asked.
"Just thinking about Tom and Jerry, also the Pound Puppies..." Patch said before blushing. "And maybe even Colette."
"Aw!" Mo smiled.
Patch smiled sheepishly.
"You gonna celebrate the holidays with them?" Mo asked.
"Well, actually, Robyn told me about how she and her father watch The Nutcracker ballet every year, and Jerry said he invited his nephew over, so maybe." Patch smiled.
"Awesome." Mo smiled.
Patch smiled back. "You seem to be liking farm life."
"Eh, as long as I'm not in a dress with a tea party, I'm happy." Mo snickered.
"Your Aunt Sarah still trying to teach you how to be a lady?" Patch asked.
"Yeah, but luckily she'll be out of town herself by the time I get back, so it's a win-win." Mo smirked.
"Where's she going?" Patch asked.
"The spa," Mo replied. "My mother told her I could come too, but she said she needed me home then, but I think she just said that for my sanity."
"Thanks for the info." Patch said.
Mo nodded and gently pet Patch before she would let him go and she would go to see Atticus.
Miley was sitting by herself with her guitar as she had a lot on her mind now since Travis now knew she doubled life as a superstar known as Hannah Montana.
"Hi, Miley." Darla greeted.
"Hey, Darla." Miley replied.
"How you doing?" Darla asked.
Miley sighed. "A little down about Travis."
"Did you write a song?" Darla asked.
"Yeah, I doubt he'll listen to it though." Miley nodded as she gently strummed her guitar strings.
"You never know." Darla said.
"I kinda wanna be alone now." Miley sulked.
"Of course, if you need company, you know where to find me." Darla coaxed as she soon left her alone.
Miley then went back to her song as she felt very depressed about what had happened yesterday. It was now Robbie Ray's turn to talk with her.
"How is she?" Robbie Ray asked Darla.
"Still a little down," Darla replied. "You're her father, go talk to her."
"That's what I'm here for." Robbie Ray nodded as he soon came over to his daughter.
Darla then left to let them talk in privacy.
Maisy was lying beside the father and daughter and decided to tell Darla how this would turn out later.
"Hey, caterpillar." Robbie Ray smiled weakly and handed his daughter a blanket to keep warm.'
"Hey, Dad." Miley greeted.
Robbie Ray managed to smile as he sat down beside her.
"Are you mad?" Miley frowned.
"No, I'm not mad," Robbie Ray promised. "You?"
"No." Miley replied.
Maisy began to nuzzle up to Miley. Miley gave a small weak smile to Maisy and hugged the white kitten. Maisy soon let out a mew before starting to play with the strings on the guitar, making a strum.
"I think Maisy has a song too." Robbie Ray chuckled.
Maisy began to push the guitar closer to Miley and strummed the guitar again to make her point.
"What's the song called?" Robbie Ray asked his daughter.
"I'm not sure yet." Miley smiled sadly.
"What's it about?" Robbie Ray asked his daughter.
"You... Me... Us." Miley replied softly.
"Mind if I hear it?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Mew!" Maisy mewed out as if she wanted to hear the song as well.
Miley soon took a small sigh and then began to play her new song, and where the most words that were used in it were about a butterfly. Robbie Ray soon joined in with his daughter's singing which made Maisy very happy. After the song, Miley began to do some work on the chicken coop.
Meanwhile, Amber had her hair styled differently and borrowed special clothes from her friends as she sat on the park bench and waited for her 'date'. She then looked over as someone sat down next to her and saw that it was Tommy.
"Hey, you got my letter." Tommy smiled to Amber.
"Oh, hi, Tommy," Amber blushed. "Yeah, I got your letter."
"I'm glad." Tommy smiled.
"Any reason why?" Amber asked.
"Well, I kinda wanted you all to myself." Tommy admitted.
"Really?" Amber smiled.
"Really, really..." Tommy smiled back.
The two of them were soon about to kiss. Both blushed as this was almost perfect. The sun even shined on both of them which made the moment even more special and romantic. Soon enough, they finally both kissed. As soon as they kissed, they felt their hearts race together. This was the universal sign that they were meant for each other and meant to be. Amber and Tommy then walked together while holding hands and spent the afternoon together, and where everyone found them cute together.
"I'd like a vanilla cone, please." Amber smiled.
"Two vanillas, please." Tommy told the ice cream vendor in his truck as he handed him the money.
The ice cream vendor soon gave them both an ice cream cone.
"Thank you." Tommy smiled as he handed one cone to Amber.
Amber smiled to Tommy and the two soon licked their frozen dairy treats as they walked off together, still hand-in-hand, and where this felt like a date.
"This is the most fun I've had in a long time." Tommy laughed as he lay in a flower field with Amber now.
"Yeah... Uh... Is this a date?" Amber asked while blushing.
"If you want it to be..." Tommy replied nervously. "I mean, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable..."
"No, no, I'm totally comfortable." Amber smiled.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that." Tommy smiled back and he soon got an idea from looking at the flowers.
"This is the most fun I've had in a long time..." Amber said before sitting up. "I mean, I never knew I could feel this way about anybody before."
"Same here." Tommy said as he began to make something out of the flowers.
Amber smiled as she held her chest. "Ooh, my heart is racing."
"I heard that's what happens when you're in love." Tommy smiled back to her while making his craft.
Amber soon looked over to see what he was doing. After a while, he soon showed a crown made out of flowers. Amber gasped and cupped her mouth.
"For you." Tommy smiled as he gently placed the crown on her head.
"It's beautiful." Amber smiled back.
"It's yours." Tommy replied while blushing.
"Oh, how thoughtful." Amber beamed as she wore the crown proudly.
It seemed like nothing would ruin the moment. The two then came to a playground together. Amber sat on a swing and Tommy smiled and pushed her, and where the two of them had the time of their lives.
"Darla, do you think Amber's all right with Tommy?" Annabelle asked.
"I've known Amber a bit longer than you have, don't worry," Darla replied. "Plus Tommy seems nice like he is on TV's Thunderbolt..." she then realized what she said as she thought about how mean and cruel she was off-camera, but was sweet and angelic on-camera. "Um, I'm sure he's a nice boy."
"I hope you're right," Annabelle nodded. "Amber is our friend, and the last thing I want is for her to get hurt."
"Same here." Darla said.
Maisy soon came to Darla.
"Oh, there you are, girl," Darla smiled. "Where have you been?"
"I was just with Miley and Robbie Ray," Maisy replied as she licked the back of her paw. "Miley wrote a song called Butterfly."
"It must have been lovely." Darla smiled.
"It was really nice," Maisy smiled back. "Even Robbie Ray sang along with it."
"Aw!" The girls smiled.
Maisy smiled back to them, she just hoped maybe now things would brighten up for the Stewarts.
