Days past where Jesse had absolutely no plans for the day.

Visit my sister? Probs doing other important stuff right now...
Chat to Lukas? Yeah probably real busy...
Visit Petra? Who knows where she is right now (hope she still thinks of me in her travels)?
Go to town? Only ever-interesting thing is the latest episode of The Flight of the Snowball.

Despite his experiences in the past (relationships, love, romance...) Jesse could feel more or less bored. He wasn't bored of Petra, nor Lukas, nor his sister, or anybody at that matter. Jesse just lacked the want to leave the treehouse, but this changed when a panicking Lukas bust open the trapdoor.

"Jesse! What are you doing here?! Have you no conscience that today is the 13th February?!" Jesse knew at this point that the next day (or at least, the next 15 hours) signified that Valentine's Day was incoming, and began to panic. "Crap! Should've had the common sense to buy a calendar! I'll grab my stuff quickly!" But Jesse wasn't fast at sll. He was so bored for a long time wihout any love or romance in his life, he was practically a wreck.

Jesse hurriedly slapped his suspenders on and sprinted with Lukas to the city mall. At first, he was a wreck being attached to his couch. Now, he's rushing to find the reddest roses and richest chocolates for his loved one. "If only I had known..." he conflicted in his mind.

They soon found themselves back at the city mall, except it had appeared less ravaged as it was before. "At least it won't be any problem now, is it?" Jesse said in relief, knowing that the presents will not be such a fuss, and he will still have ample time to hang out with Petra. Lukas would then be able to get back on full track with his sweetie-pie and hopefully, she doesn't take it so harshly on the snogging. I know she loves me but yeash...

But was Jesse correct? Why NO OF COURSE NOT! Because Jesse had been such a massive wreck, they took too long to react and all florists have been literally dried out.

Sorry! All sold out!
Whoops! Just sold my last tulip!
Just sold my last rose to that man over there.

"Grah! I'm such an IDIOT! If I had known much sooner and hadn't focused on giving myself cabin fever, we would be out of this crap by now!" Jesse growled."Oh boy, now we're REALLY in for it BIG TIME!" Lukas anxiously replied, knowing that him and Jesse were going to be forced into those ridiculous BF-GF arguments which "...often lead to BREAK-UPS?! I cannot take that! No no no no nopity-nope! I cannot take being dumpedl especially by an elegant white swan like her! C'mon Jesse, we got WORK to do!"

Jesse and Lukas then began their looooong quest to Retrieve the Reddest Roses, Claim the Classiest Chocolates, and Avert the... uh... Risk of being Dumped? I dunno what means 'get dumped' and starts with 'a.' Anticlimactic, isn't it?
