[Usually, the waning of winter and the rains of spring were a joyous sign of sunshine soon to come. Yet, this particular spring day was a slap to the face, a bitter reminder of where her feminine wiles have failed her once again

What's not?

[Hey, he's in her class. Might as well see what's wrong.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[KFDVLKNDFLN She could have sworn she didn't hear anyone walk in! She startles a bit, but looks over to her student.]

Oh, bein' single without a hope of a beau on Valentines day! It's jus' awful!

[chansondeleau]

[He's sneaky like that]

....Valentine's Day?

[He...kinda forgot the importance of it. Emotions and all]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

You know, Saint Valentines? Saint of lovahs and all that malarky?

Well, today's s'posed t'be th'day lovahs or interested parties confess their attraction t'one anothah, or even jus' go on casual dates.

Meanwhile I'm far away from N'ahlans and no bettah off than a wall flowah!

[Life is clearly terrible.]

[retriever_dug]

[Dug had been spending his Valentine's day (so far!) completely oblivious to the fact that it actually is V day. He's simply much more intent on exploring more of the school and hasn't even realised that he's wandered into the Dance studio.

That is, until he hears a familiar, yet distressed, voice.]

Miss Lottie? Are you okay?

[He pads over to Lottie, nudging his head against her arm. Forget your troubles and enjoy all the fluffy that is Dug.]

[Action]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[Oh, Dug, you wonderful over-sized teddy bear fluffy pooch, you. Her eyes widen a bit in surprise, though they soften at the canine, her hand reaching out to pat his head.]

...Sort of... well, not really, I s'pose.

I'm goin' t'be an old maid 'fore I find a beau, Dug! I don't know what t'do!

Re: [Action]

[retriever_dug]

[Dug isn't the most knowledgeable dog in terms of relationships of the heart and such but he understands a little. ]

But, Miss Lottie, you are very lovely and kind and pretty, oh yes! I am sure you can easily find a mate!

[Action]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

If only it were that easy... There's no one worth datin' here; no one who's at least like a prince...

[She sighs heavily, almost melodramatically, as she places her chin in her hands, her lips pursed into a pout.]

LATE, OHGOD

[letdownmyhair]

[Rapunzel's been spending the day baking. Just... baking chocolate chip cookies all day long, because that's what she did last year, and it's really the only thing she can think to do. Besides, it keeps her busy and on her feet, and fills her mind up enough that she can't think about anything that's even remotely upsetting.

And it gets her out of her bedroom for longer than the length of a class period, so that's good, too.

When she finally finished her baking, she decided she'd take a plate of cookies to Lottie, wherever she is. And it takes a good amount of time before she actually finds her in the dance studio. Rapunzel's not dense, though; it's pretty obvious that Lottie's upset about... something. So she moves closer very carefully, as though she's afraid she's bothering her.]

Oh... Lottie? I, um... made some cookies if you'd like some?

PFFFT not THAT late. XD

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[The blonde turns her head, a small smile forming on the corner of her lips, though the pout has yet to leave them.]

You're too sweet, sugah. I'd love one.

[Or two. Or the whole batch while she cries over her lack-thereof a love life.]

STILL

[letdownmyhair]

[A small smile spreads across her face as she closes the distance between them, laying the plate down in front of her.] Help yourself!

[She sits down as well, pushing some hair out of her face as she turns a worried look on her fellow blonde.] Are... you okay?

PFFT NONSENSE <3 i'm slow as molassas still, so it works out just fine XD

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[Lottie reaches for a cookie and takes a bite... and then proceeds to lose it.]

I'm all alone on Valentines Day! 'Course I'm not okay! I've been yearnin' for a beau for who knows how long, and then that stupid Mist exploded, and now there's so few people here, and there's no one t'pick from, and if I was back home I'd have men linin' down th'street for me, but I can't go home 'cause of the Mist, and- and-

[Cue the water works.]

[Action] [Even Later than the latest!]

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Kronk's coming over to check on Lottie's rather late mousse assignment when, on the way to the dorms, he sees her brooding through the window. That won't do! Up the stairs he comes, and he peeks through the window.]

Lottie? What's going on?

[Action]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[She looks over to the door from her spot on the sill.]

O-oh, hello, Kronk.

Jus' wallowin' in th'fact I'll be an old maid 'fore I get my happily evah aftah.

[Action]

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Eesh, Lottie. If you're old, what does that make him.]

Hey! Lottie, you're no old maid! You're younger than me!

[Action]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Oh, I know I'm not old yet! I said I will be an old maid 'fore I find my Prince Charmin'.

[hiddenbadass]

[Mike raises an eye ridge at her, stopping from walk on by.]

... What's not fair?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[...she probably should have closed the window before complaining, but the fresh air was nice.]

Do you know what day it is?

[hiddenbadass]

February 14th.

[He pauses for a moment, and then blinks as the realization hits him.]

... Oh. Valentine's Day. Huh.

[He sounds vaguely surprised. It's been a long time since he's thought about that.]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

And here I am, perfectly eligible and without an arm t'hang off on!

[Maybe she'll get lucky and be Rapunzel's or Kronk's valentine.]

Why, back home, the gents would have been lined up down th'rue.
