Valentine's Day was drawing nearer. As Schroeder was sitting at his grand piano, he was thinking to himself.

"I wonder what to get her for Valentine's Day?"

Of course Schroeder was thinking about Mary Stewart. He was planning to get something special for Mary. Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Hopefully that's Mary at the door." Schroeder thought to himself.

But it wasn't. It happened to by Lucy.

"Oh, good grief!" sighed Schroeder. "Hopefully she won't talk to me about love again!"

But Schroeder had to give up his hopes.

"Schroeder." said Lucy. "Since Valentine's Day is drawing closer, I've gotten the neatest idea yet."

"Oh, don't tell me." said Schroeder. "You want me to get you an engagement ring and...."

"About that." said Lucy. "I suggest you dump that blonde, and look for someone with black hair like..... moi?"

"Forget it, Lucy." said Schroeder.

And Schroeder tried to pull his piano up, but to no avail. The piano was far too heavy.

"Nice try!" smirked Lucy.

"Rats!" Schroeder groaned.

Over at the Browns' place, Charlie Brown was writing a special valentine card when Wally waddled in.

"What are you doing, Big Bwother?" asked Wally.

"I'm writing a special valentine card." said Charlie Brown.

"What's a special valentine?" asked Wally.

"A valentine is for a day called Valentine's Day." said Charlie Brown. "Celebrating the day you give special gifts to anyone you really like."

"Oh." said Wally. "I wanna make valentine."

"Not now, Wally." said Charlie Brown. "Maybe wait until you're older."

"I guess so." said Wally.

While Wally waddled out of his brother's room, Sally walked in.

"Big Brother." said Sally.

"Let me guess." said Charlie Brown. "You want me to help you with your homework."

Not that." said Sally.

"You want me to tie your shoes for you." Charlie Brown said.

"I know how." said Sally. "And my shoes don't have laces anyway. I'm actually here to ask help on making a valentine card for my Sweet Angel."

"Sally." said Charlie Brown. "You know Linus has Janice."

"Not Linus." said Sally. "I mean Harold Angel."

"That's just it." said Charlie Brown. "Try drawing an angel on your card."

"Thanks, Big Brother." said Sally as she left her brother's room.

Over at the Riches' place, Frieda was looking in the mirror while primping her curly hair.

"I wonder what my Tommykins has planned for me?" Frieda thought to herself. "Is he gonna make me the most special card?"

Violet was over at Patty Swanson's house, speaking to each other about love, and what their favourite boys plan to do for their special day.

"Patty." said Violet. "Are there any special plans for Valentine's Day for you?"

"Well," said Patty Swanson. "I hope Pig-Pen takes me to the fanciest restaurant in town."

"Ew!" Violet wretched. "He'd better clean up for that."
