I sat in the practice room where everyone was with their partner except me and Kurt. Kurt was sitting at the piano looking miserable with me matching his same attitude as I sat in a chair. God I hate Valentine's day!. "Okay, everybody! Let's hear it for love! Your assignment for Valentine's week is to find and perform the world's greatest love songs. Now, regionals is next week and we still need to raise $250 for costumes and hair spray" Mr. Schue informed making me groan.
"Oh, God, not another bake sale" I muttered.
"If any student gives $10 we will sing these world's greatest love songs to their Valentine. We will serenade each classroom" Will making us all scream 'no' in protest.
"Two years ago, we went room to room Christmas Carolling and they threw food" Tina commented making me nod.
"And shoes" Me and Mike added as Sugar raised her hand.
"Yes, Sugar?" Will asked.
"Here's a spoonful of Sugar for you all. 'Don't sweat the small stuff' And it's all small stuff when you're rich. So, here you go" Sugar commented before handing Will a bundle of money.
"Uh, Sugar, I can't take it" Will protested making me glare at him.
"Take it!" Me and Kurt ordered roughly, we do not wanna sing love songs while we don't have our partners as our Valentine's. Will grabbed the money politely.
"Everyone, give it up for Sugar for paying for our Final Net and Costume funds!" Will commented making us all clap.
"I love the sound of applause, even if I have to buy it. Okay, everyone, look under your chairs. Except you, Artie. Your chair kept moving so I hid your surprise in the waste basket. And Lucy, I know you can't bend to I wanted to give it you myself!" Sugar commented before going over to her seat and rushing over to me with a box of chocolates making me sigh out in relief.
"Heaven!" I stated making everyone chuckle before we all opened our boxes and began to eat our chocolate.
"V-day is my fave day ever. And to help me celebrate my daddy's throwing me a huge, ridic party at Breadstix. And I'm naming it the Sugar Shack. And-drum roll, Rachel" Sugar continued before Rachel did a lame ass drum roll, "You're all invited! Oh but you have to bring a date. No single people allowed. They're sad and boring, and they don't exist in my world" Sugar revealed making me weakly smile, great can my day get any worse?. "But I can make an exception for Lucy, as she is pregnant and I don't want to see her sad and have her hormones acting up" Sugar stated making me go wide-eyed, It can!...

"So, have you heard from Sebastian yet?" Marley asked while we were walking to the Cafeteria, I shook my head as I sighed.
"Not one bit" I spoke walking over to the counter and grabbing a tray, "Hey Mrs Rose!" I greeted as she handed me and Marley a plate of food each. "You look extra beautiful today, loving the hairdo" I complemented making Millie chuckle.
"Please Ellie, call me Millie. And my dear you are too kind" She chuckled embarrassed making me smile.
"Only for someone as beautiful as you, Happy Valentine's day, Millie" I exclaimed before picking up my tray and heading over to a table with Marley following behind, we sat down just as I felt small hands hug me around my waist, I turned and my daughter's and her brother's, James, faces peered back at me. "And look at you guys" I commented as I turned to face them fully, Lily was wearing a sunny yellow dress with a yellow bow around her waist while she wore her sandals, and James was wearing a mini suit jacket, denim jeans, and a tie with some sneakers. I watched as Lilith twirled while chuckling happily.
