It was a cold February night, Greta’s whole house is in darkness, expect for one room that is full of lights. It is somewhat fitting for two people who haven’t spent so much time in the dark in their life’s would find light with each other. This is just one story of huge amounts of love they share for each other.

”Pearl..” Marina whispered softly in Greta’s ear while they were having a typical night of cuddling up in Greta’s room.

”Yes… sweetie?” answered Greta, lost in the dace of the memory of the past few hours when they had participated in a kissing fest. Lying on the bed, pyjama-clad, eyes closed and tight arms around Marina she barely heard her beloved one.

”Could you let go of me for a second.. I wanted to talk to you about something!” She laughed as she tried to push Greta’s arms of her, only to hear a soft groan.

”..I never want to let go of you.” Greta sat up rubbing her eyes.
”Oh come on! You can cuddle me any time, I just want to speak to you for a second!”

Greta stopped rubbing and looked directory at her girlfriend’s eyes, who had now . She had a broad smile on her face and her loving eyes were fixed on Greta’s.

“You know it’s Valatie’s Day soon?” Marina asked.
Greta looked away sheepishly.
”uh.. Yeah?”
”No you don’t…” Marina answered, with a tone of disappointment in her voice.
”I do! ..”
”You don’t… you’re not even looking at me…”
”I thought I saw a Zubat in here!”
Marina sighed. “Please Pearl.. don’t ruin a good night..”
Greta looked back. “I’m sorry sweetie.. I just didn’t want to disappoint you.”
Marina smiled again. “Pearl.. you never have to apologize to me, I love you too much.”
Greta mirrored her smile and looked at her adoringly. “Thank you sweetie…you know you never have to with me eit-“
Marina butted in: “Besides, if you ever do some bad, you know I can-“
”Uh….let’s not get into that, again.” Interrupted Greta, slightly blushing at Marina’s giggles. “About Valentine’s Day..”
Marina, still giggling slightly, but trying to control it carried on. “Oh yeah, well, I was thinking we could do something special..”
“Like what?”
”Oh you know, Like Victor is taking Rex to the Phil Collins Concert.”
Greta stared at her blankly.
”..Who are they?”
”You’ve never heard of Phil Collins?”
”Of course I have! He wrote that book, Land Of Confusion, But I didn’t know he was a singer! But who are Victor and Rex?”
”You’ve never seen them? They’re friends of mine..”
”.. I don’t believe I have”
Marina shook her head.
”What about Kuno and Gia?”
”No..”
”Claire And Dave?”
”..No”
”John and Sarah?”
”Noo.”
”Lottie and Jasper”
”Nuh Huh.”
”What about LGP And Drae-“
”No!” Greta stopped her. “Let’s face it, I haven’t exactly got to known your side of the friends family part. Your mother doesn’t even know were going out!”
”Oh, she’s suspected something, like the other day when I went home to visit and she asked me how you were, and what we’d be doing, I kinda let it out we spent the night kissing. She just started and me until I realized what I just did. I just told her we were good friends and you know, it’s a girl thing, although she called it a ‘very deep girl thing’. Maybe we should tell her one day. Even though she’s heard rumours from the Battle Frontier she hasn’t believed them. Which is good I guess, but we’ll have to tell her one day you know, because then it could be awkward when we get married.. Hey! Do you think we’ll ever get married, oh I bet that would be so cute! You could dress up in Blue as your Heracross and I could be in Purple as Muu-Chan! Oh that would be fantastic, we could invite all our friends too! Wait! We could make it a double gay marriage with Victor and Rex, oh you’d like them, they’re nice people.. a little strange though. But You know we could hang all sorts of decorations on the wall and it’ll be just so pretty and cute. Should we invite Noland? I don’t know if it’s his kind of thing.. Do you think Scott will help us pay for it? I’m sure he will! He likes us a lot. Wow, I wonder if his marriage, a lot of girls must like him, he is cute.. and rich. But that’s a bit shallow, ooh, maybe he’s gay! Like us, maybe that’s why he wasn’t like “OOOH my Ho-oh, lesbians!” at us.. unlike that Selim guy.. Hey I wonder if his married. Bleh, poor girl if so. Hey do you thi-”

”Baby?” Greta stopped her after much time of being Salient.
“Yes Pearl!”
”..You’ve gotten of track.. again. Way of track in fact!”
Marina laughed. “Oh I’m sorry!”
Greta gave her a hug. “You’re so silly!”
”And that’s why you love me! Anyway, back to Valentine’s day! I was thinking we could do something special for each other on the day, something unique! I already know what I have in mind for you.. hehe.”
Greta took sometime to think about this. It was at least two weeks until Valentine’s, she would have plenty of time to sort something special out for her.
”That sounds like a great idea sweetie! Of course I’ll do it!”
Marina beamed at her. “I bet you’d do a really sweet idea for it!”
”I’ll try too, I’m looking forward to yours a lot!”
”Oh believe me, you’ll love it.”
”Don’t tell me though, keep it a secret!”
”Oh don’t worry, I will.” Marina winked at her.
“I can hardly wait!” Greta giggled. “Can we get back to cuddling now?”
Before she even had time to think, Marina was glomping on her.

”How's your surprise going?” Greta would frequently be asked by Marina as the count down to Valentine’s decreased. To this she would automatically respond to “Oh, really good sweetie!” And they would have a discussion on how they hoped each other would love it.

But of course, for Greta’s part, this was a lie. She had nothing done for Marina, every time she would come to it, she would stare at the walk blank, lacking any ideas. She would then get sidetracked by something else and forget about it for the rest of the day, of course, she would realise sooner or later.

It was now a mild February the 13th, the time was 8PM, but it looked incredibly dark due to the Winter’s night. Marina was at home, awaiting Greta’s return from the Battle Arena, who was right in the middle of a fierce battle…

”Pikachu has lost to Heracross. Arena Tycoon Greta is the winner!” The Booming voice of the Arena Judge produced. Greta was looking at the foe, arms in a cross and laughing.

”I’m not sure about Pallet Town, but in Hoenn, we don’t tend to send a Phanpy out against a Gengar!” She clapped and took a bow. “Maybe Next time will be better!” The Trainer walked out shamefully.

”Any more challengers?” She asked the Judge.
”No more challengers are being accepted. Time for close up.”
”Oh” Greta clicked her finger. “Good, I feel quite tired today anyway.”
She stretched her arms and walked back to the lobby. “Lock up, Addan please.” She told one of the Arena workers.

As she was working to get her bag, she overheard a conversion.

”Tomorrow is going to be amazing.” Said one boy.
”Hehehe.. and why’s that?” said another.
”oh, didn’t you know, Hannah promised me something special!”
”Ah, she’s getting you something for Valentine’s?”

Greta stopped dead at these words. She stared blankly as a horrible guilt feeling started to rise from the bottom of her stomach.

”Oh my Ho-oh.” She whispered to herself. Without thinking anything, she ran out of the Battle Arena on route to her house, panicking and not knowing what to do.

Before she even got there, she crashed into Noland who was leaving to his own house. She fell back and looked at the towering figure who had put his hand out to help her up.

”..Ugg.. Thanks Noland.” Greta got up feeling a bit dizzy.
”You haven’t gotten anything for Marina have you? And now you’ve realized, you found out you don’t even know what to get her?” Noland stated, he’s voice still in it’s maniacal mode.
Greta looked at him be welded.
”How..do..you..even..know..about..that.”
”It’s obvious. 13th of February, Rushing around, panicking, you have a girlfriend, I just put two and two together; well more like one, one and one.”
”You never cease to amaze me.. or scare me.”
”Hmph. It can come in use at times.”
”Mmm..yeah.. Nolan-“
”Can I help you? I would like to, however, Valentine’s day has never been my specialty, infact, all relationship problems would not he helped from what little advice I give.”
”I figured so… thanks anyway.” Greta replied, disappointed.
”I will however, say this. What makes Valentine’s special? Is it the cards, the gifts, and the candy? Or is it the way you show someone how much they love you.”
”What? No-“
”Now I must go.” Noland wasted no more time as he walked away to his house.
”But. But..” Greta was left there for a few minutes waiting for the dizziness to wear off, however, the guilt wouldn’t.. She eventually made her way back to her house.

”What am I going to do, what..what I’m going to do..” She walked up to her door when a sharp thought stabbed her in the head. “What about if you have to go to the Arena tomorrow? Marina e would understand if she had to go to her commitment. Yeah, she would, she always said I should all do my battling.. we could have Valentine’s on another day and that would give her a chance to get her something. She might be a bit upset to hear that.. but if Greta explained it like that, she’d be okay with it. Besides, what’s worse, being called into duty, or forgetting to get something for her when she’s worked so hard for you? She reassured herself it was the best thing to, even if she did have this guilt in her stomach weighing her down like a rock in her stomach.

She took a deep breath and walked inside, Marina heard the door opening and glomped herself on Greta, Muu-chan was floating above her looking just as happy as she was.

”Peal! I’m so happy to see you!” She was almost shouting with excitement, her eyes were wide open and a wide smile was visible on her lips.
”I’m happy to see you too!”
Marina gave her a kiss on the cheek. “I can’t wait for tomorrow!”
Greta looked down, feeling the rock of guilt pulling her down further.
”..Baby.. I don’t think I ca-“
”can’t celebrate tomorrow because you have to be at the Battle Arena?”
Greta looked at her stunned. Perhaps she knew about her little plan..
“Um.. yeah..” she answered shakily.
To her surprise, Marina laughed.
”Don’t worry about that Peal! I already talked to Scott about it.. he didn’t mind, infact, he said he was going to give you the day of even if I asked you or not! Isn’t that great!”
Greta nodded. “oh.. Thanks baby!” Even though she dreaded knowing there was no way out now.
“But I’m surprised, you didn’t ask him yourself..” She said quietly.
Before Greta had time to answer that Marina did for her.
”But I guess you were too busy with my surprise!”
Muu-chan gave out a happy squeal as so did Marina.
”..You have.. haven’t you?” Her voice was less happy.
”Of course I have.. sweetie!” She put on a smile, it was a forced one, Marina didn’t seem to have noticed it though, maybe she was caught so in the whole thing, she saw nothing bad n anything Greta did.
”Awww! I can’t wait to see it!” Her voice had retrained to the previous tone.
”…Oh.. you’ll love it” Greta said, wanting to sigh. The guilt was expanding and it felt like it would implode inside herself.
”Oh, I’ve almost finished dinner. I made your favourite.”
”Why? It’s my turn to cook? It’s not fair on you.”
”Oh don’t worry! I feel so happy I wanted too!”
Greta looked down at her shoes.
”Oh come on Pearl, I don’t mind at all!”
What she really wanted to say was “I’m sorry.. I’m going to disappoint you like hell tomorrow, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it, instead, she just mumbled something that resembled “Yeah okay.. thanks”.
”I don’t mind at all, honestly! Actually, I should go finish it now anyway!”
”Yeah.. Okay sweetie, I’m sure I’ll love it.”
”Good!” she gave her another kiss and headed to the kitchen with Muu-Chan following her.

When Greta was sure Marina was out of ear shot, she sighed and put her face in her hands. “What have I done..” She thought to herself. “The only way out of this corner is trough her heart.. and I can’t do that..”

Greta loved the dinner Marina had cooked but decided to keep low of any questions that Marina asked about tomorrow. Every time she said “You’re going to love it baby.” She would look down at sigh. Sometimes Marina would ask what’s wrong, she would lie saying “I don’t think my gift will be as good as yours..” Marina would smile and say “You could get me acid and I’d still love it.” She felt shaky after telling her. Afterward, they watched a little TV and got ready for bed.

Marina said she would sleep by herself, she wanted to do something in the morning that would surprise Greta, so it was. Greta was sleeping in her bed, wide awaken, not be able to sleep while Marina was fast asleep, probably dreaming about all the wonderful things that might happen tomorrow.

After many failed attempts to sleep, Greta sat up and felt her lips, the clock read 1:23, only 3 hours ago Marina kissed them saying “Pearl, just thinking about tomorrow has made me really happy, I mean, you always make me happy, but tomorrow is going to be so special. I love you.” “How do you know you won’t be disappointed?” Greta asked as Marina was walking to bed. Turning her head she responded: “I love and trust you so much, I never have to think about it.”

She sighed again. Just the thought of her upset made her heart feel like it was cracking.
”You could try to write a poem for her, like you used to before you met her.” A voice inside her head said.
”Like they’re any good..” She responded to herself.
”You should try. It’s better than sitting here and feeling guiltily.”
”Like that will compare; the way she talks it ‘s like she has the best thing ever planned. I’ve failed her.”
”Just try it.”

She lay there afterwards, her heart was hurting from the guilt, she felt like she was going to throw up. She didn’t want this, she didn’t want Marina to be upset. If only she had spent more time on this.. if only she didn’t keep putting in back..

“Write the poem. That way at least you’ve done something.”
Greta put her chin on her breasts and took a deep breath.
”Fine… but she’ll still be disappointed.”

After loosing the debate with herself, she got out a piece of paper and pen from her side draw and started to write.

”Whatever is my heart.” She wishpered.
”

She looked at her completed poem. “At least it’s something..” She put it away and walked to her open window. A light breezes was coming from it, the curtains were moving lightly, she had a look outside and saw two Hoots-Hoots snuggling up to each other.

”Good luck guys.” She smiled to herself. After a while of watching them she turned back to her bed. She felt somewhat better from writing the poem and the Hoot-Hoots made her mood feel a bit gentler.

It wasn’t long after she had laid in bed when she fell asleep.

A few hours after she had fallen asleep, isolated foot steps were heard from behind the bedroom door, as well as the occasional “Muu!”. Greta opened her eyes slowly to see the time and the source of the noise that had waken her up, she looked at the clock which read 7.54. “What’s. what’s going on.” She mumbled, still half asleep. At those words the door was opened by Marina, still dressed in her nightclothes.

”Oh, I’m sorry Pearl, I guess I woke you up.” She whispered.
”oh.. Oh. It’s okay.. ..What are you doing?” Greta mumbled again.
”I can’t tell you yet, go back to sleep, you’ll see in a few hours.”
Not really thinking, she rolled to her side and soon enough she had fell asleep again.

”Pearl.. Pearl..it’s 11..” Marina shoke Greta lightly until she responded.
“Uh.... sweetie?” She opened her eyes to see Marina covered in big overcoat and a towel over her hair. “..What’s.. happened to you..” Marina laughed. “Oh, this is just part of your surprise.. but for now…” She pointed to the middle of the bed where there was a tray with food on it. “You’re favourite breakfast!” Greta now only realising the lovely smell dancing under her nose pulled her self up. “That looks lovely!” She looked at Marina, who seemed to be very hard to contain herself. “Pearl.. you know what I’m going to do next don’t you?”
”No…” Greta’s mind was still waking up.
Marina suddenly jumped at her and gave a big hug.
”HAPPY VALATINE’S!!!!!” She gave her a long kiss with such force resulted with Greta falling back on the bed.
”Awww.. thanks sweetie. Happy Valentine’s to you too!” Marina got from the bed and walked to leave the room.
”Enjoy breakfast, don’t come down when you’ve finished, I’ll call you!” She shut the door behind her.

Taking a piece of toast, Greta thought to herself what will happen when Marina realizes she didn’t get anything for her. Would she cry? Would she be angry? Would she break up with her? “No, don’t be silly” she said to herself. But the last thought sent a hot feeling to her heart. “She wouldn’t do that..Would she…?” She finished the toast and started on an apple. “She’ll be upset.. no doubt about it…. Even if she doesn’t show it.” A horrible image of Marina holding back the tears and putting on a forced smile. That hurt her more than if she would cry in front of her.

”Maybe she won’t take it too badly.. maybe she’ll considered you had a lot of work.” Greta had to slap herself. “No. That kind of damn excuse is that.. she has work too when I’m not home.” She had finished her apple and looked at the rest of the tray, she didn’t feel like eating the rest so she drank the Moo-Moo Milk. “I should try to make her happy anyway today, even if I have nothing planned.. I could still make her happy by enjoying the stuff she did for me.. but that’s a bit selfish.. I’ll just have to tell her the truth one way or another..”

She threw her blanket to one side and headed to the bathroom when she heard Marina shout. “Put on something special!”

After she had cleared herself, she went back to her room where she looked trough her clothes. She barely had any for a special occasion, but she decided to settle for Golden-Yellow dress, she looked at it and laughed. The last time she had worn this is was at the previous Arena leader’s retirement party, that was a funny memory.. Spencer had got drunk for whatever reason, and started to attack people with his stick, at the end Noland calmed him down with a Victrebell's sleep powder. Lucy will still hitting on Brandon who had left half way trough due to her annoyance, Tucker, to everyone’s sighs had decided to bring a Karaoke Machine, who he was first up to sing. Who could forget how that went, Scott still teased him to this day about it; he had decided to sing Level 36’s Do-Do-Dodrio! A horrible song to go with a horrible singer wasn’t the best of mix. Eventually he was forcibly removed by Noland to everyone’s surprise, decided to carry on the song. Greta remembered herself going up to sing “Love will give me no worries.” By Phil Collins. How ironic..

”Are you done yet, baby?” she called out to Marina. “No, not yet, but I’ll be done soon!”
”Okay.” She changed into the dress, which surprisingly, still went down to her heels. She undone her hair and brushed it to the left, an unusual style for her, and put on her best pair of-none-battling shoes, which happened to sandals. She looked at herself in the mirror. “Gee, I can’t remember a time when I never wore battling clothes..” She then went to her dressing table and started to apply some make up, something she never usually did.

”Okay Pearl! You can come to the living room now!” Greta took one last moment to prepare. “I’m sorry..” She said to herself with a deep breath.

When she walked into the living room, if was completely different to what it was usually: All of the furniture was put to the side, the curtains were closed and the only lights were dimmed and were now giving a pink glow, Music was playing, it was Phil Collins – Your love never hurts me, there was a big space on the ground that would seemed be a dance floor, and Marina was standing in the middle, She was wearing a pink-sleethless dress, which had little Luvdisc in the design, her hair, had been dyed Pink and was now tied back in a knot, rather than her usual design. Her eyes were fixed on Greta while she walked up to her and presented the roses.

”Happy Valentine’s, Peal” she said simply.
”Oh my.. oh my” Greta was lost for words, she accepted the flowers and stared at Marina.
”What’s wrong Pearl?” Asked Marina, she seemed glad at this.
“..You.. look.. You.. Look.. beautiful.” Responded Greta, trying hard not to cry.
”And so do you.”
”This is.. wonderful.. “
”This is all for you.”
”It’s perfect..” Greta responded putting the roses on the window sill.
”Dance with me.” Marina held her hand out for Greta.
”I …didn’t know you could dance.” Greta said, accepting her hand.
”I’ve been practising when you was at the Arena.”

The whole room seemed to have disappeared while they were dancing, only the music and themselves seem to be the only thing existing. .Marina closed her eyes and put her head on Greta’s shoulder.

”Baby, this is amazing.”
”It’s amazing because it’s with you..” Marina responded.

For a while they said nothing and just danced, the whole feeling seemed unearthly, but in a good way. It felt like any holes in their souls were being repaired with parts of each others.

”Pearl?” Was the first words spoken after a while.
”Yes sweetie?”
”Do you mind if you show your surprise tonight? The reason I wanted to do this in the day was because I had something else planned at night?”
”Oh..Yeah, okay.” Greta was reminded of that horrible guiltily feeling.
”You don’t mind do you? That doesn’t ruin your timing?”
”No.. not at all. Come on, let’s not worry about it anymore, let’s dance.”

It was a while before they came out of their dancing-trance again, this time Marina levelled her eyes with Greta’s, and with none of them saying anything, or even thinking they moved their lips together and kissed. While both connected with the sacred sign of love, they both felt an up thrust of feelings inside them, something was filling them from the point of that kiss. A feeling that seemed to focus their minds only one the person standing in front of them. A feeling that made them left their bodies and were now going trough a new form of life. Something that only they could share.

”..That was.. incredible.” Marina said afterwards stroking Greta’s hair over her shoulder.
“It was..” Greta responded still feeling it in her heart.
”It was like our first kiss.” Marina smiled.
”No. It wasn’t.” “It wasn’t something totally new, it was a sign to show we had grown even stronger in love.”
”Whatever it was, I’m certain we’ll experience it over and over.”

Marina pulled herself from Greta and turned of the CD.

”What are we doing now?” Greta asked.
”Oh, you’ll see. Come on, just follow me.”
She led the way to Greta’s bedroom when she turned round and spoke to her.
”I want to get into the bed with you, I want you to hug me and I don’t want you to let go”
”You never have to ask.”
They both rolled In the bed together and Greta put her arms around Marina facing her. She put the put the blanket both over and with the warmness and pure bliss feeling from each other they both fell asleep in holding on to their treasured ones.

“Greta.. Greta! I can’t believe I’m waking you for the third time in the day!” Greta woke up to see her girlfriend had changed her clothes into a more-casual style. “It’s time for my other surprise.”

”Baby, that was so nice to sleep with you like that…”
”I loved it too.. Now get changed! You can go where we are going looking like that!”
”Where are we going.. exactly?” Asked Greta as she got up.
”Remember the first few days we met, what things did you do?”
”We Battled?”
”Yeah, but we’re not doing that.”
”er.. you looked at my underwear?”
”No! Well, Yeah I did, but We’re not doing that now, I already did it today anyway!”
”..What?”
”Oh, never mind, carry on” Marina giggled.
”We..”
”Went Fishing!” Marina answered.
”Oh yeah! That was so nice to do!”
”Well, I thought it would be a perfect note to end the day on.”
”End the day? How long have we been asleep for? How long did we dance for!”
”Absolutely ages. It’s 7 now.”
”..Wow.” She didn’t have any time to add as Marina handed her a fishing rod.
”Come on Peal! I’m sure you’ll love this.”
”Okay, just give me a chance to get changed.”

Soon, they were both wondering down to a short pear just outside the Battle Palace, the sky was a beautiful ice-blue, the stars were not fully out yet, but they gave a faint light. I was very cold, but the two girls felt amazingly conferrable in their coats as well as being with each other. Marina sat herself down with her rod while Greta sat next to her doing the same.

”You know, most people would say it would be crazy to spend Valentine’s evening fishing, especially in this weather.” Greta laughed.
”It’s so romantic though.” Marina responded looking at the freezing water. “Even if it is quite cold for Hoenn.”
”Oh, the mainland rarely gets this cold, but we have all sorts of weather. I remember times when it was colder than this, we had to shut down everything one day.”
Marina was now looking at Greta, she wasn’t moving, the only motion was coming from her icy breath.
”I love you.” She said after a few seconds.
”And I love you too!” Greta leaning over to give her a hug.
Marina put up her free hand to stop her.
”Wait.. Pearl.. I feel guilty.”
”What for?”
She sighed. “I’ve taken up the whole day.. I didn’t leave you time to do your supris-“
”Baby, don’t worry, what you did was wonderful.”
”No. I should of left you time.. I’m sorry..”
”It’s okay, really.”
”But you’ve probably spent weeks doing it! And it’s all wasted now.”
She turned away and looked at the water.
”I’m sorry Pearl..”
The guilty feeling was back, and it was now holding crushing Greta’s heart. On one hand she could continue to lie and make Marina feel bad, but then she would be angry at her. But if she told her the truth.. she would be more upset at her, but she wouldn’t feel bad about herself.

But she needed to be told the truth.. that’s what relationships need..one full of lies would eventually loose it’s base..

”Marina..” Greta sighed heavily.
”Yes?” she said quietly, not looking at her.
”You have no reason to feel bad..… I never did any surprise.”
She put her fishing rod to one side and folded her arms.
”I never found time”
Marina turned her head and looked at her. For a while there was a silence until Marina got up and stood behind Greta.
”How could you lie to me?”
”I.. don’t..know” Greta could feel two icy cold tears running down her face.
“After all the weeks of planning, all the money I spent on you today, you lied to me.”
”I’m sorry..” sobbed Greta.
”I know you love me but…really..”
She walked a mete from the crying Greta and looked back at her, slowly, she took something out her pocket and began to spoke:

When I was blind, you were the first thing I saw
When I felt your skin; I knew you were a god send
Denial attached to brain, I thought my thinking was a flaw
I found it hard to say; now I never end
I love you, and damn it, I’ll say it a 100 times more

How can I express what you mean to me?
Where would a Magikarp be without the sea?
Without you, I have no soul
Without you, pain will take it’s toll

I would say I’d hope to love you until the end of time
But nay; I don’t hope, I know I will
Your love on my heart, leaves an unbreakable seal
To not return your love would be a crime

Love me forever like I love you
Any hate in our relation, will be rarer than a Mew
I swear it’s true I love you to the bone
We will last, until the clock’s last tone

When she had finished Greta looked back at her wide-eyed.
“And you said you did nothing special for me.” Marina said with a familiar warm smile.
”But..But..” Greta wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
”Don’t lie to me Greta! I knew you did this!”
”Wh-e-e-re..di-id you…you… get it..” Greta was strutting.
”I found it by your bed while you were asleep. Hehe.”
”A-And you-u like it-t-?”
”I could have hopped for nothing better.”
Greta slowly picked herself and walked to Marina, she took some time to stop crying and strutting until she answered.

”But..Why? It’s something I could do for you any day, isn’t Valentine’s suppose to be when we do something to make our loved ones feel special?”
”You can do that everyday, and that’s why I love it, you know why?”
”Why?”
”Because Everyday you make me feel special! You don’t have to get me lots of great stuff on Valentine’s just to show how much you love me.. you do already do that on the other 364 days. Sure, I was hoping we could do lots of romantic stuff today.. but does that really matter! Everyday you make me feel love, everyday I get up knowing you’ll be there for me, everyday I know I’ll wake up to your adoring eyes.. and every night.. I go to bed with a heart heavy with love.. your love. Valentine’s day is special for all the couples all over the world, but you make everyday, our special day. Only ours and no-one else’s.. If I had to choose one last day to live my life, it would be a regular day with you.”
She walked over to her and put one hand on her shoulder.
”Pearl believe me, when I found that poem, it was well worth every preparation I had to take today. You never needed to do something big and fancy, not when you make me feel all year round like most people feel on this day.”
”Baby..”
”Thank you for such a wonderful day” She put her other hand on Greta’s free shoulder and glided it so she came in contact with Greta’s body and turned it into a hug.
”I’m so happy you liked it..” Greta smiled, hugging Marina as tight as she did to her.
”It was lovely, just like yesterday.”
