Ellie and Addi skipped into the room, their dresses swirling around them like a cascade of pink and red petals. The girls beamed with delight as they took in the sight of the room, transformed into a Valentine’s wonderland. "Look at all the decorations, Addi! It’s like a pink paradise!" squealed Ellie. "I know, Ellie! And look, Miss Harper even made a heart-shaped banner for us!" replied Addi, pointing to the shimmering sign that read "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Addi carefully pulled out her stack of Valentine's cards, each one adorned with a glittery heart sticker. Ellie followed suit, her cards featuring cute animals holding tiny hearts. As they arranged the cards, "I hope everyone loves their cards. I picked them out specially," Ellie said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "They will! I even wrote a little message on each one," Addi replied, her voice full of anticipation.

Ellie and Addi dashed around, handing out their cards with giggles and smiles. Each card they gave was met with happy exclamations and hugs, spreading warmth and joy throughout the room. "This is the best Valentine's Day ever!" Ellie declared, her cheeks flushed with happiness. "I love seeing everyone so happy. It makes me feel all warm inside," Addi agreed, her heart full of contentment.

Ellie and Addi held hands, swaying to the rhythm as they sang along with their classmates. The melody of laughter and singing filled the air, creating a magical moment that seemed to make the decorations sparkle even brighter. "I’m so glad I get to spend today with you, Addi," Ellie whispered, squeezing her friend’s hand. "Me too, Ellie. You’re the best friend anyone could ever have," replied Addi, smiling warmly.

With their backpacks a little lighter and their hearts a little fuller, Ellie and Addi waved goodbye to their friends and teachers. "I can’t wait for next year’s Valentine’s party," Ellie said as they stepped outside into the crisp afternoon air. "Me neither! Let’s make it even more amazing," Addi replied, her voice filled with promises of future adventures. Together, they skipped down the path, their laughter echoing like a sweet melody of friendship, carrying with them the magic of the day.
