Stephanie's Big Surprise

"That's good," Butch said to Merilee. "because we have so much to do and so little time to do it in!"

A little while later, Stephanie entered the headquarters of Mr. Socrates.

"Oh boy," Stephanie said. "am I ever sore!"

Mr. Socrates turned the lights on automatically.

"Surprise," Butch, Merilee, Mr. Socrates, and Wally shouted out in unison. "happy birthday, Stephanie!"

Stephanie was really surprised by the party.

"Oh wow," Stephanie exclaimed. "I wasn't expecting this!"

"It's okay to have a little fun, Little Sister," Wally said to Stephanie. "you deserve it."

"Thank you, Wally." Stephanie said kindly.

Everyone helped Stephanie have the most remarkable birthday ever.
