*February 14th*

[February wakes up in her room in the Sphere. She walks into a lobby area where December, November, and September are sitting. She takes a seat.]

February: Good morning, guys!

November: 'Ello, February.

February: Guess what day it is?

September: Valentine's Day.

February: Yup! Do you guys have anyone special you want to spend the day with?

November: Actually... now that we're here...

[He takes a deep breath, then walks over to September, and brings out bundles of peruvian lilies, and hands it to her, who is shocked. February gasps.]

February: Aw! That's so adorable!

November: I know it's nothing special... but, will you be my valentine?

September: I-I...

[September puts her hands to her mouth. Tears begin to well up.]

September: Of course!

[She hugs him tightly, their bond seemingly made of titanium. February melts onto the floor.]

February: Hey, are you guys going to go on a dinner date? And, if so, can I tag along and make it a double date?

November: Absolutely.

February: Okay, I'm going to go get my date!

[February happily skips out of the room, past Winter who is carrying a cup of tea.]

Winter: Where is she going so merrily? She hasn't even eaten breakfast.

November: It's Valentine's Day, she's going to get a date for our double date.

Winter: Oh, how sweet. Anyway, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my room.

[Winter walks out of the lobby area.]


[February skips along the street, cheerfully humming a song. She stops at the Everdiner, where she sees January in his normal place. Without hesitation, she opens the door and dodges through the customers and tables to get to January. She sits on the other side of him.]

February: Hi January!

January: Hi. What do you want?

February: It's Valentine's Day!

January: ...and?

February: You should be my Valentine!

January: Why?

February: 'Cause... it's fun! And super-duper romantic!

January: Get someone else to do it with you.

February: There's no one else!

January: Well, then I guess you're not getting a Valentine.

February: Poo. What am I going to tell November and September?

January: Hm?

February: I was going to go on a double date with those two.

January: November and September? They're a couple?

February: Well- I don't think it's anything like that yet... but November asked her to be his Valentine.

January: Alright. I'll be your date.

February: Wait- actually?

January: Yeah. I'll go get ready. What is the time and place?

February: Just meet at the Sphere later.
