Valerie Learns The Truth
"That's groovy because I am so hungry I could eat an entire bag of sunflower seeds!" Alan exclaimed.
"Me too," Anne agreed with Alan. "just what did you make for supper anyway, Suzie?"
"I didn't make supper tonight." Suzie answered Anne & Alan.
"Well, if you didn't make supper tonight, Suzie," Alan & Anne asked in baffled unison. "then who did?"
"Josie & Alex made supper tonight," Suzie answered Alan & Anne. "and they made roast chicken with rice and a healthy green salad."
"Oh yum!" Anne exclaimed.
"That sounds good!" Alan agreed.
Once at the table, Valerie still wouldn't forgive Alan but Alan M. had a worried expression on his face.
"What if we can't find out who really stole Val's tambourines?" Alan M. asked worriedly.
"It was actually Alan Chan who did it, Alan." Valerie said.
"Hey, it wasn't me," Alan said to Valerie. "it was Serpent Queen!"
Alan began gesturing to Alexandra.
"Alexandra," Valerie asked. "is this true?"
Alexandra hung her head low in shame.
"Yes, Valerie," Alexandra admitted. "it is true."
"But why would you make my Gentle Inventor take the fall?" Valerie asked Alexandra curiously.
Henry slid an envelope to Anne from where he sat across the round table.
"Oh, Anne," Henry said. "before I forget, this note is for you."
