Valery had her Strawberry Shortcake bag on her back and her shoes were on the right feet (she thought...) and she had a bit of cheese and her sippy cup of juice. She was all set.
She was on a Very Important Mission. She needed to find her Daddy. She understood that he'd been off to visit the angels with Mama Rose, but Miss Hestia really needed him and she thought it was about time for him to come back now. Hopefully, she would be able to find him before it turned dark, she didn't much like being out at dark, but she knew that she couldn't help Miss Hestia the way Daddy could.
She felt like she'd been walking for quite some time and it was a long time since she'd been able to not see home. She saw the clinic on her walk and she looked carefully at anyone she passed incase Daddy was in disguise.
She was getting a little tired when she saw a man who was tall like Daddy and was the same color as Daddy and she grinned, getting excited. "Daddy!" she called and ran to him, throwing her arms around his legs as he stepped out of the shop. She could smell the sugar coming from the door but she didn't dare go inside. She'd found him and she couldn't let go or he might leave again.
