Comforting Valerie Part 1
"I see." Alan M. said to Alan.
Josie rose from her seat and began to walk over to the bedroom she shared with Alexandra, Melody, Valerie, Suzie, Anne, Nancy, and Mimi to find Valerie sitting on her bed reading.
"What's wrong, Valerie?" Josie asked.
"I am just furious with Alan Chan, Josie." Valerie said.
"Why are you furious with Shades?" Josie asked Valerie.
"He stole my tambourine set, Josie! I will never forgive him for that!" Valerie said angrily.
Anne came into the bedroom she shared with the other girls and grabbed her swimsuit and bathing cap.
"Now, Valerie," Anne said. "I'm certain that Buddy did not take your tambourines and place them in the boys' closet."
"Yes he did, Anne," Valerie said, still fuming. "Alan the Inventor really did mean to take my tambourine set."
Anne was doubtful.
"I doubt that highly, Valerie, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go to the motel's pool for a swim." Anne said.
Anne then grabbed a towl and ran out the door.
Over in the boys' bedroom, Alan was busy looking for his blueprints.
"Oh no," Alan shouted in a panic. "where are my blueprints?"
Alexander came into the bedroom that he shared with all the other boys.
"What's the matter, Shades?" Alexander asked.
"How could she?" Alan grumbled loudly.
Alexander was confused.
"How could who do what, Shades?" Alexander asked Alan.
