Anjanette and Uncle Bruce set out to look for Ferdinand. They went to the places where Anjanette and Ferdinand liked to go, but there was no sign of him. They even asked locals if they had seen him. Nobody had seen him. Anjanette then said, "Uncle Bruce, I think Ferdinand went into the woods. Otherwise, someone would have seen him." Uncle Bruce nodded. "Maybe you're right. It's a good thing I packed some essentials." The two went into the woods. Pretty soon, Anjanette wondered away from her uncle, forgetting that he told her to stay close. It was getting dark. Pretty soon, Uncle Bruce realized his niece was missing. He called her name, but there was no answer. He said to himself, "Oh, no! She must be too far away to hear me. I TOLD her to stay close!" Still, he was too worried to be angry. He then said to himself, "I won't have any luck finding Anjanette and Ferdinand in the dark. I'll just set up camp here. I hope they'll be all right." Meanwhile, Anjanette had turned on her flashlight, determined to find Ferdinand. It was growing darker and darker, but she feared that if she waited until morning, it would be too late. Just then, she heard a snapping sound and felt an intense pain in her leg. She shone the flashlight and found that she was caught in a bear trap. She cried out for help, but there was no answer. She said to herself, "Uncle Bruce must be too far to hear me. I have no choice but to spend the night here." Even though she was in pain, and she was losing blood, she decided to go to sleep and wait for someone to find her in the morning.
"What lead you to the club where you first saw us, Henry?" Les asked. Henry replied, "One of my neighbors told me that a rock band called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean was going to perform at the club that had opened the previous week. I thought that the name sounded interesting, so I asked him what kind of rock music, and he said, 'I think it's stuff from the sixties and seventies.' I was eager to hear the songs from my youth. When I saw you perform, I knew you were the right fit. Of course, you know how we met backstage." Jimmy said, "And the rest is history." Everyone laughed. "Yes," Henry said. "The rest is history." Just then, Felix looked at his cellphone and said, "It's 10:00, guys." Henry said, "We better go to bed. We've got a big day tomorrow." The boys all said, "Okay. Good night, Henry." Henry smiled and said, "Good night, boys. Pleasant dreams." With that, they retired to their beds for the night.
THE END
THE END
A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking forward to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's Day plans were on me," she said. "Next year I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of next year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's Day together next year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I love you, Una," he said.
"I love you too, Everett," she said.
