[video] VALENTINES (backdated to the morning of the 14th)
[Hey look, it's everyone's favorite walking talking cinnamon bun. His frog is sitting on his head.]
Guys, it's Valentine's Day! Even though the calendars are all weird and it's supposed to be like, I think, closer to Christmas maybe, I definitely didn't forget! Look, I made my Valentine's box already, so it's good to go!
[He holds up a shoebox with a hole cut into the top, just like the kind you make in elementary school. He's decorated it with red and pink construction paper, heart stickers and copious amounts of glitter. Listen, Valentine's Day is super important at this age, even if girls still have cooties. The amount of valentines you got in your box could determine your entire future.]
Hey, I've got a zillion valentines for everyone! And they're the good ones. They've got Spidermans and Batmans and stuff on 'em and also chocolates! The good stuff! So, if you guys but your valentines boxes out by your doors or somewhere, I can drop these all off. Even I can't eat all this chocolate, but I could totally try, but it would probably be bad for everyone. And I don't wanna eat 'em all! It's Valentine's Day, and that means giving out valentines and chocolates to everyone you care about. And I care about everyone here!
If any of you need help making a box, don't worry! I'm pretty much a valentine's box champion.

Nope. Wirt definitely doesn't have someone like that. And even if he did, she's not here so he still had no reason to remember it until now.]
Wow. You're super prepared. Uh...having fun, Greg?
[Wirt's a little concerned, not because he has anything against Valentine's Day, but...are there even any other kids here? Kids Greg's age that would care about Valentine's Day and have valentine's boxes?]
Video
[Indeed, Greg is making sure his face fills the entire screen so Wirt can't see past him.]
Video
[Wirt raises an eyebrow and lifts up his head, like he's trying to look over Greg even though it's a video.]
Well, fine then. I'll...just have to make you a secret valentine too.
[He started this out trying to be playful, but hesitance is already creeping in. He hasn't made a valentine in years. He hasn't even thought about Valentine's Day since last Valentine's Day. Why the heck did he just promise that? Why did that come out of his mouth? It's been ages since he's actually made any kind of card.]
Video
[Yay! Wirt is getting into the spirit of things!]
Oh, Wirt, I made you some extra valentine boxes in case you forgot to make one. Do you want the one with glitter and bees on it or the one with glitter and birds on it? Or both?
[Hurr hurr hurr.]
Video
W-What? Why are they bees and...
[But no, he holds back. Greg is six and probably has no idea what "the birds and the bees" even refers to, and he's not about to have that conversation over a valentines' box. Definitely not. That is one hundred percent Greg's Dad's problem someday.]
Nevermind. Um...I guess...the bird box?
[Not for any specific reason or anything, of course.]
Video
[He holds up a shoebox. It basically looks like every edition of National Geographic that ever had bird pictures has just been vomited onto the box itself. So there are eagles and vultures and parrots and sparrows and cardinals and robins and swallows and falcons and pigeons and, yes, some bluebirds, all crammed together on every available millimeter of box. All of the birds have little heart stickers by their heads. Also copious amounts of glitter.]
Do you like it?
Video
Uh. ...Yeah, it. It looks great, Greg.
[It looks very obviously like something Greg would make though, so at least no one will think that Wirt's the one who stuck birds all over it. He would have gone way more subtle or just, you know. Not made one. It's too late now though and he's already agreed to use it.]
So, what does yours look like? Or is that still secret too?
[He's a little scared to imagine what the bee one looks like if the bird one looks like this. But hey, maybe he made something different for himself.]
