1. A Dusty Old Top Hat
Dorothy Ann never thought a top hat could be considered fashionable in this day and age until she saw Carlos strutting to Walkerville Elementary in the distinguishing hat. The next day D.A. was seen sporting a hat of her very own.
2. Lilly, the Cuddly Black Kitten
Phoebe had always had a soft spot for animals, especially kittens so when she came across an abandoned charcoal covered kitten and couldn't take her home she was astounded and delighted when Tim volunteered his services.
3. A Certificate for Achievements in Piano Study
At first Carlos thought D.A. had been taken over by aliens and was willing to pull out the laser guns and call the army. After being shown countless certificates of achievement he demanded to be taught how to play the piano to which D.A. gladly complied.
4. A Letter with Seven Stamps
Arnold impatinetly waited for a letter from Wanda. She had promised she would send stamps to add to his collection and was running out of time yet on the very last day of summer he received a letter with seven stamps sealed inside, causing her to receive a monstrous hug the first day of fourth grade.
5. A Brand New Accordion
Why Ralphie decided to invite Keesha to his house so she could listen to him test out his brand new accordion (she had no idea he even played) she'll never know. Although she would admit, he did know his way around the foreign instrument.
6. A Flickering Lamp Post
As D.A. and Carlos grew older and were initiated into the fourth grade their parents decided they were old enough to walk each other home on their own. With a flickering lamp post casting an eerie glow over their path, it caused D.A. to cling to Carlos' arm. He made a mental note to always take the same route.
7. A TV Screen Covered with a Pink Blanket
In the middle of Keesha's living room their television was completely covered by a periwinkle blanket. It was her siblings' constant bickering over what program to watch that had gotten them into this mess. Keesha simply used this as an excuse to bike to the park and play football with Ralphie.
8. An Antique Silver Jewelry Box
On one of Tim's frequent visits to Phoebe's house he stumbled upon an antique jewelry box sitting atop her dresser. When asked who gave it to her she replied coolly with 'a boy', causing Tim to experience his first encounter with the green eyed monster titled Jealousy.
9. A Garden Gnome Missing an Arm
Arnold had never been one for sports so when Wanda volunteered to introduce him to the wonders of baseball he begrudgingly agreed. Needless to say once the garden gnome lost an arm in the battle they called it quits and went on an archeology excursion instead.
10. A Stage with Black Curtains
Despite everyone's protests Carlos insisted on participating in the elementary school's talent show and somehow roped D.A. into being his assistant. Most thought as soon as the black curtains opened he would fail miserably (seeing as he had never done magic before) but were thoroughly surprised when he pulled a bouquet of lilies from a hat, all except D.A. She had believed in him all along.
