Note: I know this is a bit short, but I will update whenever I can, so enjoy this new story.

Valentine's Day is coming near. I, Doug Funnie was planning to spend Valentine's Day evening with the girl I always loved since I first met Patti Mayonnaise. Today I am in my early twenties. At this age, I don't plan to get married anytime soon. When I do, I'm waiting for the right time to do just that. I am still living here in Bluffington. So is Patti, but we haven't seen each other for a while. I already came up with an idea what I wanted to spend Valentine's Day.

My best friend, Skeeter Valentine, is also still in Blufftington. He doesn't yet know what I planned to do this year for Valentine's Day. I decided to call him. He was home, so we had a nice conversation.

"Hi, Doug. How have you been?" Skeeter asked.

"I'm fine. Valentine's Day is on my mind at the moment."

Valentine's Day wasn't that far away.

"What are you thinking, Doug? You can tell me since I'm your best friend."

What Skeeter just said was so true.

"All right. I would love to spend the Valentine's Day evening with Patti."

"Does she know anything about it?"

"Not yet, but I'll call her."

"What do you have in mind?"

"I was thinking we could stay at my house. I do have a surprise in mind."

"Do tell, Doug. I'm listening."

And he was, I told myself.

"I have been visiting a jewelry store here in Bluffington. I am thinking of buying a pair of earrings or a ring."

"That does sound romantic, Doug. I'd like to see what you pick out."

"You will get the chance, Skeeter."

"Are you trying to tell me I could come along and tell you what I think?" Skeeter asked.

"Yes, Skeeter. How about if you come with me and you can help me pick it out for Patti."

"I like the idea, Doug. Have you looked at the prices?"

"Not yet. I will when I visit the store there."

"If I were you, Doug, I would look at the prices before choosing anything."

I only thought of saying, "Duh."

"When would you like to come along with me, Skeeter? The jewelry store I looked in was the Bluffington Jewelry Store."

"They do have a good selection of jewelry there, that's for sure."

There was no arguing with Skeeter on that one.

"I'll let you know when I'm going over there again, Skeeter. We'll go from there."

"Okay. If you do show me what you like, I'll do my best to tell you my thoughts."

"I'd like that, Skeeter. I'll call you again soon."

"Okay, Doug. It was nice talking with you."

"Same with you, Skeeter."

End of conversation.
