Madeline had been given the day off thanks to sister julienne to plan the dance.
She headed towards Mrs Buckles with her order ready and her ideas perfected for the dance. The bell chimed as she entered the shop.
"Hello sister Huxley" she smiled.
"Hello Mrs Buckle" she smiled back "I was wondering if you could find me these things by Saturday please" she asked her kindly.
"I will try my best sister" she smiled.
"Thank you" she said as she left the shop hearing the bell chime as she left. Suddenly she crashed into someone dropping her notepad and paper everywhere.
"I'm so sorry" she said rushing to pick up the papers she had dropped everywhere.
"It's quite alright sister" the man said kindly and suddenly she knew right away it was Timothy.
"Oh hello Timothy" she smiled at him collecting the papers out of his hands.
"Hello, may I ask what your doing?" He asked, helping her to stand up.
"Planning a dance to celebrate the nuns years of service and we are all wearing our vow gowns" she smiled.
"That sounds delightful" he smiled.
"Yes but I don't think I'll get it done in time" she sighed.
"Why don't I help you? I've been given the day off and if my father needs me urgently he can call Nonnatus" he smiled.
"I won't refuse the help" she smiled.
"Grand" he smiled.
"Follow me" she smiled as she began walking down the street with Timothy hot on her heels.
"So what's first on the list?" He asked.
"A banner and balloons" she said as he appeared next to her.
