Valentines Day in
Sunset Cove started around 500MD. Mid February
was Spring time and a time for fertility.
Many years ago a young
man named Drew Druid got his wife for Valentines
Day a giant 20ft high Domino game. She played
with it for hours but when it came time
to knock them down she crushed 20 villages.
Rumour has it that this is how Stone Henge
came to be.
In Victorian times
in Sunset Cove men gave their lovers a box
of tissues. With all the pollenous flowers
around at that time of year it was a thoughtful
gift.
 Around
the 11th Century Dr Goggs a Transilvanian
surgeon made a new compound of lipstick.
He thought this would be a wonderful gift
for his wife. It was later discovered that
the lipstick contained superglue and her
lips were stuck together for weeks until
they could be chisled open. While he appreciated
her weight loss and lack of nagging at the
time the prototype lipstick never made it
to be a great Valentines Day gift.
CUPID
It is said that long
long ago Cupid was firing his arrows at
unsuspecting young people when he had a
sudden sneezing fit - thousands of arrows
were shot in every direction. This may have
had an influence on a young man called Cassanova
who was said to have up to 5,000 lovers.
 Cupid
has struck out a few times in Sunset Cove.
His arrow aimed at Sabrina must have had
a kink in it because all she seems to love
is money. When Valentines Day comes around
Sabrina sends out dozens of cards to every
boy in town asking them to send her Credit
Cards, not Valentines cards.
