Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I hope it was filled with romance, friendship, flowers, chocolate, and glitter. Or whatever combination thereof suits you. Everyone's got to like at least one of those things, right?

[Boating Club]

No offense to hockey or ice or winter but I'm ready for the lake to thaw. Soon, I'll even start to miss the leeches.

That said, we might as well make the best of it while we can! Who's up for some ice fishing tomorrow during club? Anyone willing to help me set up a few ice shanties will get some hot chocolate (spicy or not -- the cayenne is strictly optional) and some sincere gratitude.

[Natalie]

Hi Natalie. I hope you don't mind getting paired up with me instead of someone in your year too much, but if you'd still like to go I'm sure we'll have a great time!

Do you have any thoughts on what you'd like to wear?

Happy Valentine's day, Sandy!

Have you had a good day??

I did! Everyone seemed to be in good spirits and who doesn't like filling the cabin up with flowers?

Did you?

Right? Flowers brighten everything up. And these ones all smell so good!

[...] It was fine!

That's fine! I didn't want to get anyone in my year anyway.

I have three different dresses and I could style them a lot of different ways if you have any ideas for costumes. But I think we should be Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Do you know that movie?

Sounds like everything worked out, then! [...] Why didn't you want to go with anyone in your year?

I'm familiar with the Rapunzel story but I've never seen the movie. And I'm not familiar with Flynn Rider. What would I need?

I don't know. Some of the boys are cute, but I don't want to date any of them.

Do you have a white shirt and a blue vest?

And you think they might get the wrong idea? That's reason enough.

I do. Does that help?

Gross. Friendship.

You're not fooling anyone, Rosy.

Can't say I didn't try.

I'd never. Those seem like fighting words.

But also chocolate!

And also chocolate!

But how do you feel about chocolate?

Well. [...] In moderation.

Arguably the tastiest thing on that list, but I did make some rosewater cupcakes.

I'll help! And no cayenne for me, but I'm bringing small marshmallows and they're meant to be shared!

That would be great, Webster! Thanks!

Marshmallows may be more popular, admittedly.

You're very welcome!

We can even use the marshmallows as fish bait. I know that trout, for one, love them.

I can fit 19 full-size marshmallows in my mouth. Which is considered in the 'good' to 'excellent' range. The BIG ones.

Very impressive. The marshmallows and hot chocolate are for the people who set up the ice shanties. Does this mean you're helping?

Last I checked, Sandy was the President of Boating Club.

~~Lilika~~ ~~Why do you always~~ [...] ~~Just once I'd like it if you~~

[...]

And it's a good thing he is, too! He's a much more generous person than I am!

Oh, that's not true. You're VERY generous. You're the best benefactor a girl could ask for!

[Webster]

If you can't take the heat ... don't try to make me do manual labor.

Well. That was the deal. Hot chocolate and gratitude for shanty assistance.

But as long as everyone that helps gets out their share too, we won't hold out on you, Lilika.

I'll help set up for you, Sandy.

Then my hot chocolate and my gratitude are yours. Thanks, Lilika!

Will you join us for ice fishing too?

what happens to the leeches when the lake's frozen anyway?? why don't they die

A very good question.

maybe they migrate

Crawling south for the winter?

maybe they all pair up with a bird?

The majesty of nature.

[...] Maybe we should ask Mrs. O'Hare.

I have long since been over the winter and ice. But missing leeches... that seems a stretch.

I know winter is an important part of the natural balance and beautiful in its own way, but I think I may be beginning to experience withdrawal.

It sounds it and I agree.

Big plans for spring, Ginger?

Nothing big, just ready for it.

I'm already at leech missing... the lake needs to unfreeze yesterday.

Can we eat the fish?

Do you ever think we're too reliant on our swim-time, Eileen?

That's your call.

Maybe, but I take no responsibility for it; it's not my fault I was made this way. Nature should accommodate me with shorter winters, obviously.

Guess some fish are getting eaten.

It will when you're back in California.

Well. You'll have to catch them first!

If only this were California. What were we thinking when we decided to come to Utah for school, Sandy?

[...]

You'll help me, riiiight?

[...] That we ought to broaden our horizons? And, lake-withdrawal aside, that's probably still valid.

Of course.

Mmmm, I don't think that's where I was going for. Sounds about right for you, though. Maybe I'll use that line anyway, though, if someone asks.

Thanks for helping provide my dinner.

Have the house elves been holding out on you?

Nah, but if you're going to make me work I might as well get some food out of it.

Ice shanty? Shit, I'm not sure this is what I signed up for.

Well. It is optional, but I think you'll have a good time if you come!
