Riley was writing in her journal, she's definitely getting use to it here but she still doesn't feel like she fits in. . . She misses her parents, her room, her toys and still felt out of place even among the older kids.
But what pulled her out was a small group of kids by the window of Home Sweet Home.
She approached,"What you you guys doing?", one of the girls smiled,"While we wait for The Smiling Critters Episode to play, we got word from Tilly that Mr Jimmy had a gift for Miss Stella.", now this was something she was curious, a lot of the younger kids loved Stella and don't get her wrong; Stella was a wonderful and kind woman, she guessed the kids like the idea that she was with someone and she guessed was the same guy they always asked to play a Prince or King with Stella.
. . .
"Can I join?"
They nod.

In the break room of Home Sweet Home, Jimmy stopped by during his break and held the bag to Stella,"Happy Valentine's Day. . . Uhm, I got you some things. . . Yeah. . .", it surprised her, Jimmy was really red in the face and Stella found it adorable.
"Thank you so much."
Inside was a chocolate bar, 3 books from a series she had been eyeing for a while now and a pink teddy.
"Awe, Jimmy! Thank you, it's so cute!"
The teddy was so soft, Jimmy nods and was completely red, Stella then reached into her locker,"I got you something too, I wasn't sure if you like chocolate but. . .", she held up a chocolate bar and a box, Jimmy titled his head and opened it.
"!"
"Yeah. . . I had noticed your watch was a little slow, so I got you one for when it breaks. . ."
And it was a very nice watch as well.

Jimmy looked at like,"Are. . . You're sure?", "Of course.", Stella hugged him, Jimmy smiled and hugged her back.
Stella then noticed the children, and how quick they ducked.

Riley thought, good for them.
