Telephone: <ring! Ring! Ring!> Paige: I got it! I got it! Hello... the beautiful and available Paige Fox speaking.... Daddy, I don't care if your car ran out of gas! You can't call and tie up the phone like this! Roger: I'll be really glad when this Valentines dance is over. Andy: Were you working late?

well, think of it this way, now that she’s grounded she won’t need to worry about someone asking her to the dance anymore.

There is one boy who does ask Paige every year and she always says no, and ends up regretting it when she doesn’t get a valentine OR doesn’t get to go to the dance.
