“Mommy what’s so special about Valentine’s Day?”
“Well sweetheart let me tell you a story.”

Each year, Club Cupid, an exclusive lounge, held an annual singles gala on Valentine’s Day. After Aurora’s father’s tragic meteor accident, her mother’s Lifetime wish was to be a Golddigger. She wanted more than anything to marry a rich man. Mrs. Wells wasn’t famous, but her belated husband’s mother, Minerva Wells was a Super Star actress. She has long passed, but she was once a major sponsor of the Valentine’s event. They used to refer to her as Valentine Wells, when her mother gave her name to the bouncer they would tip their hat and let her in without question.
Aurora couldn’t stand Valentine’s Day. She was too young to go inside the club, so she had to stay in the park across the street. It didn’t have a playground or even a swing set; all it had was benches. There was never anyone her own age around. When they got there, she realized she left her book at home. Her mother offered her an old romance books.

Aurora walked around the park for a while before settling down on a bench. She just got to the part where the woman was falling in love with the simbot she created, when she heard an excited voice ask “What ’cha reading?” She looked up to see a young boy standing in front of her. He was a rather small boy with saggy blond hair and a face full of freckles. She smiled and explained she was reading one of her mother’s books. He hopped up on the bench next to her and said “I’ve never seen you around here before.”
She responded “I’m actually from Twinbrook, every Valentine’s Day my mother attends the Valentine’s Gala and I’m stuck at this dumb park.” He insisted it wasn’t so bad, so she asked him what was so special about it.
“I’m here” he said “Tag you’re it.” Aurora giggled and chased after him. They spent the whole day playing together and became fast friends. Aurora didn’t even notice when night fell, until she saw her mother crossing the street to the park.
“Aurora, are you ready to go?” called her mother. Aurora couldn’t believe how much time had passed, she felt sad to leave her new found friend. Aurora thanked her friend for the nice day, and followed her mother to the car. “Did you have a nice time, Sweetheart?” her mother asked.
Aurora said “Yeah Mommy I had a lot of fun with one of the local boys.”
“That’s nice. What was his name?” Aurora couldn’t respond. She spent the entire day playing tag, making silly faces, and having a good time with her new friend, but she never learned his name.
The next year passed by fairly quickly for Aurora. Her mother almost got remarried, but the man broke it off when he discovered she wasn’t seeing him exclusively. Once again, it was Valentine’s Day and they headed out to Bridgeport. Aurora was more optimistic this year; she at least had hope that there would be someone there her age. As her mother headed into Club Cupid, Aurora walked over the bridge to the park’s small island. When she got there; she looked down and saw her named spelled into the dirt.

He said “I remembered it from when your mother called you away. It stuck with me because I was so sad to see you go. You said you come here every year, so I knew where I could find you. So, do you want to know my name?” Aurora nodded. “Okay, let’s play a game. Why don’t you try and guess my name? Each time you get it wrong, I’ll give you a clue, but you have to answer a question from me. When you get it right, you can ask me whatever you want. What do you think?”
“Nope sorry, not Henry. For your first clue, it starts with the same letter as yours. Now as for my question, why did you guess Henry?” He said.
She said, “Henry was the first boy’s name that came to mind, it was the name of my father. Okay so for my next guess, I am thinking Adam.”
“That’s not it either.” He said. “Let’s see… for the next clue, it’s seven letter longs. Tell me one of your favorite things, maybe an animal, flower, or a holiday: something that’s really special to you.”
“Roses” she responded instantly, “I love roses. All kinds, especially pink ones! Is your name Anthony?”
“Correct! My name is Anthony, Anthony Hart. Now you get to ask me anything you want.” They talked all day long about their families, their friends, and their ambitions. She learned that Anthony dreamed of becoming a journalist. He learned that Aurora didn’t know what she wanted to do yet, but loved to try new things and enjoyed her education. They learned everything thing about each other. Aurora told him things she’d never told anyone. She was saddened when her mom came out of Club. She gave Anthony a hug goodbye and ran over to her mother. This boy she only met once a year was probably her best friend!

Once again, it was Valentine’s Day. Aurora’s mother gave her the option of staying home this year, something only two years ago she would have celebrated over. But, this year she chose to go again. She was secretly hoping to see Anthony, though there were no guarantees. Her mother always wore the same dress on Valentine’s Day, a gorgeous gown that looked like it came out of her grandmother’s closet. This year, Aurora decided to dress up for Valentine’s Day too. She fixed up her hair, put on some makeup, and put on a red dress and heels.
When she got to the park, she looked for Anthony. She walked to the island where she found her name last time, but this time it was only dirt. She looked over the water and became entranced in the fountain. She was thinking about the last two Valentine’s Days. They were two of the happiest days of her life. She turned around to start walking back over the bridge, and she saw him. He had grown from a goofy little boy to a strikingly handsome teenager.
“Hello, Aurora” Anthony smiled. They each complimented the other’s appearance. What a difference a year could make. Anthony held up a basket and said, “I thought it would be nice if I brought along lunch for us to share. We can have a picnic right here on this island.”
“I love that idea,” Aurora responded. They stayed on the picnic blanket talking for hours, even as ants began to attempt to find any leftover crumbs. They talked about their year and learned even more about each other. Some would say their conversation even got a bit flirty.

“Oh Anthony, thank you. I love it! You remembered from last year. You are so sweet”
Her heart melted; she was barely able to whisper her response, “of course.” She gave him a big hug. Aurora found him alluring and they began to embrace. They looked deeply into each other’s eyes. They had their first kiss! They were in complete bliss. When they saw Aurora’s mother leaving Club Cupid, Aurora didn’t want to leave. Anthony gave her a big hug and they said goodbye.
On the car ride home, so many things were going through her head. This was her very first kiss, but it wasn’t like they were an official couple or anything! They only saw each other once a year! She watched out the window as they drove out of Bridgeport and smiled. Valentine’s Day went from being the worst day of the year to being the best! As she lay in bed thinking about him that night, she couldn’t wait until next Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day rolled around and Aurora couldn’t wait to get to Bridgeport! She woke up early and got all dressed up. She was determined to ask him out officially and exchange phone numbers so they could talk on a day other than Valentine’s Day. When they got there, she walked over to the Island to see if her name was written anywhere, but found nothing. She turned around to see if he was behind her, but he wasn’t there. She sat on a bench and waited. Hours passed and realized he wasn’t coming. She cursed herself for not getting his phone number last time. Night fell and her mother came out of Club Cupid. Her heart sank. She missed her valentine this year.
She tried not to think about it as she drove home. She wondered where he was and what he was doing, or if he was thinking about her. It’s not like there was any guarantee he would be there each year. Who knew what type of events had transpired in his life?
The rest of the year seemed to go by at a pretty normal speed. Aurora was thinking about her future and college. She still didn’t know very many of her classmates. This year, Aurora had to make a decision. Her mother was going to Club Cupid again, but Aurora no longer had to go. Spending the day at the park without Anthony was boring. However, she at least wanted the chance to see him again.

A boy from her class, Red Neckerson, asked her out on a Valentine’s date. At first she refused, but he was persistent. She didn’t see the harm in one date. They went out for dinner at Brunton's Boxcar Diner. The meal wasn’t completely unpleasant, but for some reason, Red kept kicking her underneath the table. He was nice and all but she didn’t have any romantic feelings for him. They stepped outside of the dinner and that’s when Red took his chance and tried to kiss her. Aurora was appalled and ran all the way back home. This was the worse Valentine’s Day, even worse than the times she spent alone in the park. That night, her thoughts went back to Anthony. At this point he felt almost like a fantasy.
The years went by and Aurora graduated from High School. She became a young adult and attended a local university. She decided it would be better to live in the dorms, instead of staying at her step-father’s place. That’s when she met her roommate, Harlow Love. Harlow was beautiful, with long flowing hair and bright pink lips. She was such a party animal; she would even bring men back to the room at all hours of the night. Aurora didn’t drink very much; she had a few glasses of nectar from time to time, and she’d had a few skill gain drinks, but her roommate enjoyed drinking a lot. Harlow always knew where the party was. She may have had some flaws, but she was a genuinely kind person.
The week leading up to Valentine’s Day, Harlow was trying to convince Aurora to go out to the Be Mine dance club, which was opening in Bridgeport. Their grand opening was on Valentine’s Day and they were letting in all ladies free of charge. Harlow pestered Aurora about going for days. On Valentine’s Day, Aurora got a package in the mail from her mother. She brought it up to her room and Harlow asked what was inside. Aurora said, “It’s a package from home, I haven’t opened it yet”
“Well open it up” said Harlow. Aurora opened the package and to her disbelief inside the box was her mother’s beautiful Valentine’s Day Gown. Aurora was shocked. On top of it a note read “I thought you would get more use out of this thing this year, Sweetheart. Love Mom”

When they pulled up to Be Mine, Aurora giggled. The dance club was shaped like a giant pink heart; it was like nothing she had ever seen before. Harlow told her it used to be a beautiful home, but it was recently bought out and converted it into a nightclub. They really only changed the deck to add a profession bar and a dance floor, even leaving all the original furniture inside.
Harlow bought a round of drinks for the entire place! Harlow dragged her on to the dance floor. Aurora felt out of place; she had never really been to a place like this before. After a few minutes she went to step away. That’s when she saw him. “Aurora, is that you? Do you remember me?” he said.
“Anthony,” she barely whispered it.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnc9YkcD-3E-JnC107ZENPYXRQgtBTkZr5WYJ6ahY1gAzWJmQl60zGJwIkTBqXqkx7gaFkvSzVNRt2NNQ5KjfnDfcAMBWh_Mo8EM5yw4MGRSEJLX44l7ke5zHAcdDt3IaGQ0cRvco-c0ti/s320/27.jpg)
“Yes?” said Anthony.
“Will you be my Valentine?”
“Of course” said Anthony as he hugged her tight. “Hey, there’s going to be fireworks again tonight,” he looked at his watch and said, “they should be starting soon; why don’t we go up to the roof and watch them?”
Aurora followed Anthony up the stairs. She was thinking about the time they watched the fireworks together, that was the night of her first and only real kiss. She grinned to herself as she secretly was hoping for a repeat. They found a cozy spot and embraced while they waited for the fireworks to start. They heard a loud boom and looked up into the city skyline to watch the show. The fireworks felt like they lasted forever to Aurora, but as soon as the finale finished, she looked around and realized they were alone of the roof. She took her chance and leaned in to kiss him. It felt just as romantic as the first time.

The year seemed to fly by; she couldn’t believe it when Valentine’s Day came again. This was a big day for them. It was technically their one year anniversary and this day meant a lot to both of them. This would be there first Valentine’s Day together outside of Bridgeport. She spent all morning getting ready, after trying on over a dozen outfits she finally decided to wear her mother’s dress again. It just felt like Valentine’s Day to her. She just finished her hair when she heard him knock. She rushed to the door to see him. When she opened it, she was greeted by him holding a dozen pink roses. “Happy Anniversary” he said.
“Oh Anthony, they’re perfect! Thank you so much. Happy Anniversary” She said as she held him in a tight embrace.

Aurora didn’t know how to respond at first, she was so shocked to hear those words come from Anthony. She finally managed to say “I think I love you too.” They went into a gazebo at the back of the lot. Aurora really liked the fountain and all the potted roses. They spent some time flirting and holding each other close. Aurora noticed Anthony started to look a little nervous. And she asked him “What’s wrong?”
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMku8AHg9-ZiAe5OigeuyA8BOiYRzuERikUfEXylijRkeLqKaaXWdhyiRx2-SrNMTN8bRqc6IuSCunBhRosoJWslP0psguJRCrjkmu7hESHeAXDDPrKqSI3UYgN7r18YNe6JZRia6lOwFN/s320/35.jpg)
“I have one last surprise for you” Anthony said
“I don’t think I can handle any more surprises today!” responded Aurora still smiling from ear to ear.
“This is the last one I promise.” Anthony lead Aurora back to the other part of town. “I want to show you something,” he said as the neared his destination. “What do you think of this little house?”
“That’s so adorable” she said as she laid her eyes on the adorable little starter home in the shape of a rose.
“I’ve been saving up and with that plus the money I got from my new promotion, I was able to put a down payment on this house. It’s ours,” said Anthony.

Anthony smiled and said “I’m glad you asked, I just took a job as a Newspaper Reporter here in Twinbrook.”
They went inside on Aurora fell in love with it. It was a great place to start out their lives together. She hopped into the bed they now shared and reached her arms out towards Anthony as if asking him to come join her and cuddle. They lay in each other’s arms for a while and there were many of romantic interactions. They decided to consummate their relationship for the first time.

Anthony made Aurora breakfast. She calmed down and realized it was irrational to be so upset over nothing. She wasn’t going to hold Anthony back from his dream. She helped him pack and gave him a big hug and kiss goodbye. This was the first time they would be apart since their engagement. He was only going to be gone for a night. Aurora thought it would feel strange to be in bed without him.
“I love you” Aurora called out after him.

That day as she was walking back from class, tragedy struck. Suddenly, the ground started shaking. Aurora looked up over the hills just in time to see the blast. At that moment, the whole town was in a frenzy. Alarm bells were ringing and emergency vehicles were speeding down the street. Everyone started running. Aurora didn’t understand what was going on. She followed a crowd into the Fire Station. She wished Anthony was with her so she didn’t feel so alone.
When night fell, the Fire Chief walked into the station to make an announcement. “There has been an accident at the Doo Peas Llama Corporate Headquarters, which was a few miles outside of town. We now know for certain that they had been experimenting with nuclear reactors. Somehow, the pressurized water reactor was turned off and one of the largest units overheated. We should be thankful the wind was facing away from Twinbrook today, because the area surrounding the building is contaminated for miles. Unfortunately, there were no survivors For now, no one is to leave Twinbrook for any reason. You must wear the air masks we will provide, and do not drink any of the groundwater. We will do our best to try and get this situation under control.”

The next few years passed by in a daze for Aurora. Twinbrook was completely cut off from the rest of the world. No one could enter or leave until the cleanup efforts had been completed. The explosion destroyed all the communication towers in the area, leaving no connection to the outside world. Aurora became a teacher at the local elementary school. Nothing really felt whole in her life after the accident. Even though years had gone by, she would still mourn over the death of her fiancé. She cherished the photograph she still had of him in the park. She wished she had the other half, but didn’t want to think about what happened to it.

“Mommy you told the story wrong!” said the small girl.
“What do you mean sweetheart?”
“They were supposed to live happily ever after.”
“Okay then do you want to hear a story that ends happily ever after”
The small child nodded.

A young woman was visiting Les Champs Sims. She hadn’t done any traveling at all. You see, she was from Twinbrook. After the accident, they kept the town completely on lock down for almost 40 years. Finally, they announced that all the inhabitants could leave, but if they did they had to leave everything behind and they could never return. The young women felt that Twinbrook no longer had anything to offer her, so she boarded a plane to France. She hadn’t decided which neighborhood she was going to settle down in once she returned, but for now at least, she would enjoy her vacation. She went to all the tourist attractions; she especially loved visiting the nectary and learning to make nectar, which was a rare commodity in Twinbrook. She had only tasted it once at her grandmother’s wedding.
She poured herself a glass of Cherries Grallaina Fran Grapes Nectar and sat down at the fireplace with a good book. Her vacation thus far had been rather relaxing. She put the book down on the table next to her and started to stare off into space, wondering where she was going to live. An attractive gentlemen was standing in front of her with a drink. “Hello. I hope I’m not bothering you, but I just had to share this with somebody. It’s called Moodlet Madness.”
She accepted the offer and took the drink “Wow that is amazing” she said, that didn’t even begin to describe it, she felt completely rejuvenated.
She smiled “I’m Hailey, I’m just on vacation; this is actually my first time traveling.”

Hailey almost rolled her eyes but stopped herself. She was hoping he didn’t notice “No it’s just me. I don’t have a sweetie at the moment.”
“Well this might be a bit presumptuous of me, but I have these reservations at the local Requiesence Resort. They came with the Rose Suite upstairs and I don’t have anyone to bring with me. Would you be interested in a day of pampering and relaxation?”
Hailey contemplated it for a moment. She had nothing better to do and maybe it would be a good way to clear her head, plus she found herself quite attracted to this young gentlemen. “Sure, why not?”
“Alright I’ll pick you up at quarter of” He smiled as he started to walk upstairs
She smiled to herself and finished her wine. Then, she headed back to the base camp to get ready. She had only brought one dress with her and that was her mother’s dress. She always used to wear it on Valentine’s Day. She packed it and a bathing suit into a day bag and gussied herself up a bit.
She went downstairs to wait for him. He pulled up on a Kenspa, and asked Hailey to hop on.

“I’m actually from Twinbrook, I just left. It’s the only place I’ve ever been besides here” responded Hailey.
“Wow! Really? I’ve never met anyone from Twinbrook. My old man was obsessed with that place, always trying to find a way in.”

“I’m from Bridgeport. I like to come here to get away from the big city life. So what are you going to do now? You can’t go back,” Henry said.
“I know, I guess I haven’t figured it out yet. There was nothing left for me there. My mother passed away this time last year, not long after they started letting people out. She really wanted to leave, but she was just too old to start over in a whole new place, so we stayed back. After she passed away, I took the year to get my affairs in order and sell some of my family’s properties. There are not too many people looking to buy in Twinbrook, so it took a while.”
“My father passed away about a year ago, too. I felt bad for him. He always seemed to be looking for something. My father was fundamentally a good man. When my mother died from a fire in our home, he took me in. I don’t remember much about my mother, and I don’t think my father does either. They weren’t married or living together or anything. My father was the Don Juan of Bridgeport. He could charm a five star celebrity off her feet. But every Valentine’s Day, he would wander to a small park in town and sit on a bench all day long, no matter how many women wanted to go out with him that night.”

Henry was waiting at the bottom of the stairs to walk Hailey to dinner, when he saw her. “Wow,” He said “You look stunning in that dress” he also felt a Déjà vu for a minute, but just shrugged it off.
“Thank you,” said Haliey “Shall we head to dinner?” They had Shrimp Cocktails and an order of the Famous French Frog legs. They talked about their past romantic endeavors. They both seemed to have a series of failed relationships, but nothing ever got too serious. After dinner, they decided to cozy up in the hot tub and things started getting hot and heavy. When it was time to leave the resort, Henry asked Hailey “Would you like to come back to the Rose Suite with me, it’s a lot nicer and quieter than the base camp.

Hailey thought about it for a minute and decided to go with him. Once they got back it didn’t take them long to get into bed together. Hailey quickly fell asleep, but Henry was bothered by something. He couldn’t quit put his finger out it, though he came up with a crazy plan. He slept a little, but woke up early and went over to the base camp, He got together all Hailey’s stuff, which wasn’t much considering there were very strict restrictions on what you could and couldn’t bring with you. He took everything back to his room and packed all his stuff up, too. Very early in the morning, he gently woke up Hailey.
“Happy Valentine’s Day” He said “I have a surprise for you”
Hailey blinked a few times and looked around and noticed all of the luggage. “Are you going somewhere?” she asked
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“It’s a surprise, do you trust me?”
“Trust you? I just met you, yesterday.”
“Come on, take the chance.”
“Well okay, I guess. I don’t really have anything better to do, I’ll go with you.”

“Sure we can, but that’s not where we are going right now,” he said.
That’s when she saw the park. A look of confusion came on her face. “I know this is going to seem crazy, but I’ve seen this place before.”
Hailey went rummaging through her stuff and pulled out an old picture of her mother’s. It was torn in half with a mystery man and what looked like this park in the background.” She held up the photo to Henry.
“I knew it! I knew I recognized that dress!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Please wait here, I’ll only be gone a few minutes. I’ll be right back,” he called as he ran off.

“Hailey look at this” He brought another photo also torn in half, this time with a woman in it.
“That’s my mother!” Haliey said, almost in shock
“I had a feeling. When I saw your picture, I knew I had to show you. The picture you’re holding is of my father. He was in love with this woman from Twinbrook and they were set to be married, but one day he went off on an assignment. He was supposed to be at the Doo Peas Llama Corporate Headquarters when the explosion happened, but he decided to drive a little further to the next town to pick up some roses for his fiancé. He was paying for them when he saw the explosion. He got in his car and started driving towards the explosion. He was stopped by road blocks and told he couldn’t go any further. That was the last day he saw the love of his life.”

Henry was a bit shocked, but couldn’t help but responding “I love you too. I feel like I have a deep connection to you”
“Maybe fate brought us together. Henry, will you be my Valentine?” With those words, Henry found her to be extremely irresistible, he couldn’t help himself! He proposed! And she said yes! Everything was happening so fast. “Henry, let’s get married right here, right now. We saw what happened when our parents waited.”
“I agree. I feel like you are my one true Valentine.” o they got married right there on the spot. It was a little crazy and a little reckless, but everything worked out. They started their lives together as Henry and Hailey Hart. Exactly one year later, they had their first child, a baby girl which they decided to name Valentine! And they all lived happily ever after.
Valentine was already asleep when the story ended. Henry walked into the room and embraced Hailey, I love you my one true Valentine!
