      Valentine's Day Secret - Carolyn Keene

      I don’t care if it is Valentine’s Day, George Fayne said. Pink hot chocolate sounds gross!

      Bess Marvin sighed as she smoothed her pale pink sweater over her hot pink skirt. I can’t believe you don’t like pink, George, she said.

      And I can’t believe you two are cousins! Eight-year-old Nancy Drew laughed.

      Bess and George didn’t think alike or even look alike. Bess had blond hair and blue eyes. George had dark curly hair and brown eyes. But they did have one important thing in common—they were both Nancy’s best friends!

      That day Nancy, Bess, and George were celebrating Valentine’s Day at their favorite store in River Heights—Farmer Fran’s Barnyard Buddies.

      At Barnyard Buddies, kids could pick out a stuffed horse, pig, cow, or sheep and dress it any way they wished. They could even watch a stage show or drink hot chocolate in the store’s Cocoa Café.

      We have our animals, Nancy said, hugging her fluffy stuffed sheep. Now let’s pick out their clothes!

      What are we waiting for? George said. She waved her stuffed cow in the air. Let’s moooooove it!

      The girls hurried to the Costume Corral. Dozens of tiny costumes hung on racks. Bess chose a fairy princess dress for her stuffed horse. It was pink, of course. George picked out a baseball uniform for her cow. Nancy didn’t know what to choose—until her eyes landed on the perfect outfit….

      Check out this neat detective costume, Nancy declared. She held up a tiny trench coat on a plastic hanger. There’s a magnifying glass in the pocket!

      George pulled out the magnifying glass and peered through it. It works, Nancy! she said. Now your sheep can be a detective just like us.

      Nancy nodded. Not only were the three friends detectives, but they had their very own detective club called the Clue Crew. And their own headquarters were in Nancy’s room!

      I’m going to give my stuffed animal to Hannah for Valentine’s Day, Nancy decided.

      She waved to Hannah Gruen, who was sipping tea in the Cocoa Café. Hannah smiled as she waved back. She had been the Drews’ housekeeper since Nancy was only three years old.

      And I’ll give my horse to George! Bess said excitedly. As long as she gives me her cow in exchange.

      I guess, George said. She wrinkled her nose at the fairy costume in Bess’s hand. But I don’t like fairies.

      And I don’t really like baseball, Bess said with a shrug. So we’re even-steven!

      Nancy brushed her reddish blond hair away from her eyes as she looked around for an empty worktable. Suddenly a voice boomed across the loudspeaker:

      Hey, kids—it’s showtime!

      Nancy, Bess, and George hurried to join a crowd in front of the stage. Everyone cheered as four teenagers dressed as a pig, sheep, horse, and cow ran onstage. The teens worked at Barnyard Buddies. When they weren’t helping kids build stuffed animals, they were putting on a show!

      We’re the Barnyard Buddies and we’re here to stay, they sang. "We’re going to kick it up for
