Operation Flower Power

The VIP table was totally set, but my superhero instincts told me a legendary date with Bloomy was missing one crucial detail: fresh flowers! Obviously! I slipped out through the cracked screen door onto the morning porch on a botanical retrieval mission. Right between two weathered deck boards, I spotted the ultimate prize—a tiny, bright yellow dandelion. I planted my boots firmly, grabbed the stem with both hands, and unleashed maximum hero torque. Pop! The stem gave way, sending me tumbling backward right onto my cape with a soft clatter. But hey, I stuck the sitting landing, and the blossom is completely intact! She is going to love it.
