Dilemma: Saint Un-Valentine's

Can you help Martha?

I really hope someone out there can help me! 😨

I should warn you, this problem is trickier than a chemical equation with unknown co-efficients! ❌

I have managed to obtain… Wait for it… the last two tickets to a tour of the UK Space Programme! ⭐️💫⭐️

There’s just one tiny problem. I really want to invite Ollie but the tour is on February 14th. ❤️❤️❤️Aka Valentine’s Day. ❤️❤️❤️ Aka the most romantic night of the year.

I know Ollie won’t think it’s a date but everyone else will! 😣

Personally I don’t know where people get these ideas from. After all it’s just two friends, who spend all their time together, and share a strong connection, gazing at stars on the most romantic night of the year. Why on Earth would anyone think we are a couple?

I can’t miss out on the space programme. But Lily and Jas will never let me hear the end of it.

Never let it be said that I, Martha Fitzgerald cannot solve even the trickiest of challenges.

Thank you to SilverWolf13, pinklilypoppy and purplespottyladybug for your sound suggestions. 🙏 At first I reasoned that I could of course ignore Lily and Jas teasing me and just enjoy the trip for what it is. But then I had an even better idea… 💡

I decided not to invite Ollie and invited my mum instead. 

Judge me all you want, ok? It seemed like the easiest choice.

Or so I thought…

While I was deciding what to do Ollie managed to buy two tickets to the Space Programme as well! He wants me to join him and, well, his tickets are so much better than mine! 😩

Ollie’s tickets include ⭐️VIP⭐️ access to the whole Space Programme, and a ride in a zero gravity simulator! 😲

I don’t care if it’s ❤️Valentine’s Day❤️, I simply cannot miss this. Besides, if I don’t go with Ollie he’ll take his cousin Cassie instead. I can’t lose out to Cassie on the most incredible experience of my life! 😤

But I’ve already asked my mum.  

How can I get that amazing VIP experience without letting my mum down? What would you do?

This has gone from being the worst week ever to the best! 😊

Thanks to FluffyBiscuitNarwhale and goldensyrup2005 for suggesting I tell Ollie the truth about the tickets. I realised it wasn’t fair of me to keep changing my mind, so I decided to take mother as planned and let Ollie go with Cassie.

That was until I discovered mother had a surprise for me. She’d upgraded out tickets to ⭐️VIP⭐️ as well! Ollie, Cassie, mother and I will all get to enjoy the ⭐️VIP⭐️ Space Programme together.... And this way no one can call it a date! 🤓

Ollie will be so happy. 😍 I can't wait to see his beutiful face light up with joy when I tell him... 

Ahem. Anyway, like I said. Definitely not a date.
