- I think she did say that.

- Wow.

- I've been so busy.

I didn't even have time to get a [indistinct].

- Whoa. She needs a cake.

- We heard you talking on the phone, ms. Mimi.

That is so exciting.

- Why didn't you tell us?

- Oh, it's no big deal, really.

I've got to go.

I'm running late. Bye.

- Wait, what's his name?

- Mr. Chirpyface.

- Huh? Mr. Chirpyface?

That's a strange name.

- But nice.

- This is so exciting.

Ms. Mimi is getting married.

- Ah, let's see.

The dishes are done.

The trash is empty.

There's nothing to knit. Whew.

I can finally sit down and enjoy some peace and quiet.

[Sighs]

- Ah.

- Hi, mum. Hi, polly.

- [Giggles]

- So much for some peace and quiet.

- I have really big, exciting news.

- We're having macaroni and cheese for dinner?

- No, ms. Mimi is getting married.

- But I love macaroni and cheese.

- Ms. Mimi is getting married?

Ah. To whom?

- Mr. Chirpyface.

It's a strange name, but nice.

- Hmm, I've never heard of him.

- What does getting married mean?

- When two people love each other so much

They want to spend the rest of their lives together,

They get married.

- Um, like you and daddy?

- Yes, dear.

So when is ms. Mimi getting married?

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Why didn't she tell us?

- She said it was no big deal.

But it is, right?

- Yes, it's a very big deal.

- I knew it.

We need to make sure ms. Mimi

Has everything she's supposed to have on her wedding day.

- That's right. - Yes.

- So what are you supposed to have on your wedding day?

- Well, she needs a lovely wedding cake.

- Could we bake one, please?

- I'm sure she has one.

- No, she said she didn't have time.

- Then she'll need flowers too.

- [Gasps] I have a flower in my pocket.

She can have that.

Oh, it broke.

I know. I'll glue it.

- So a wedding cake, wedding flowers.

What else do we need?

- I know.

Lets do a special wedding dance for ms. Mimi.

That can be our gift.

Let's see.

We can start with a pas de chat,

Or maybe an arabesque.

Ooh.

[Gasps]

[Sighs]

- Remember, angelina,

We need something old, something new,

But not something broken.

- Sorry, mum.

- What kind of music do they play at weddings?

That might help us figure out what kind of dance to do.

- They usually play wedding music on an organ.

- Then we'll do a dance to organ music.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

What's an organ?

- It's like a piano, but it makes a different sound.

- Here's the deal.

Organs make music when air whistles through their pipes.

So instead of going "plink" like a piano,

They go "hooo."

- [Giggles]

- Organs have foot pedals, like giant piano keys.

- Both hands, both feet--

Playing the organ is a lot of work.

- [Giggles]

- But where are we going to get an organ?

- Your father's music store.

He has some organs there.

Go and visit him.

He'd love that.

- Thanks, mum.

See you.

- I'll start baking the wedding cake

After a few moments of peace and quiet.

- Hooo. - Ah.

- [Giggles]

- [Chuckles]

[Dissonant organ music]

- ♪ Hooo

Now let me try the pedals.

[Low organ notes]

♪ Hooo

This is not easy.

It's called the bridal march.

He must be really short.

He is, but he has a wonderful singing voice.

Everyone, meet mr. Chirpyface...

The canary.

- No way.

Ms. Mimi married a canary?

- I didn't marry a canary, marco.

I bought a canary.

- But--but we heard you talking on the phone.

And you said you were getting married today.

- No, I said I was getting a canary today.

You must have heard wrong.

Really smart and funny, angelina.

[Out loud] oops. This is so embarrassing.

[Rhythmic clapping]

- When anthony dances, he's very crazy.

"Your plies are divine.

"Let's dance until we're dizzy.

Won't you say that you'll be mine?"

Signed, your secret admirer."

That's a secret someone who likes and respects you.

- Did you hear that, everybody?

I, angelina, have a secret admirer.

[Giggles]

- Who is it, angelina?

- I don't know.

There's no name on it anywhere.

Hmm.

It's a mystery.

Lucky for me, I love solving mysteries.

My secret valentine has no name.

Maybe there's something else on the card

That will give me a hint who it came from.

Anybody see anything special?

- It's got lots of pretty green ribbons all around it.

- Hmm. It certainly does.

Now who do you know with lots of green ribbon?

- My best friend, alice.

Alice always uses lots and lots of ribbons

In her gymnastics routines.

- Do you think she's your secret valentine sender?

- Let's go find out.

Hi, alice. Happy valentine's day.

- A valentine for me?

Gee, thanks.

- Angelina made it herself.

But I helped.

- [Chuckles] it's really nice.

And I've got valentines for both of you.

- Oh. - Oh, thank you.

- Thanks, alice, but didn't you send me one already?

- No, that's not from me.

- It isn't?

But aren't those your gymnastics ribbons?

- Those ribbons are green and teeny-tiny.

My ribbons are big and long and tied to a wand

So I can twirl them in circles like this.

[Jaunty piano music]

♪

- You're right. These don't look alike.

- Does that mean someone else is your secret valentine?

- [Gasps] that's so exciting.

I wonder who it is.

- Come on. Help us look for clues.

- Lots of valentines are shaped like a heart,

But this one has five hearts all linked together

Like a paper doll chain.

[Both gasp]

[Together] vici.

- Vici makes the best paper dolls.

- Happy valentine's day, vici.

- Oh, thanks.

This is so amazing.

- Almost as amazing as this.

- Cool. Who gave it to you?

- Didn't you?

- No, this is my valentine to you.

I made one giant valentine for all my friends to share.

- Can I share too? It's very, very pretty.

- Of course.

- But if you didn't send this to me

And alice didn't send it,

Who is my secret admirer?

- Hmm, it says here: "your laughter is like music."

Do you think it's...

[Door closes]

All: marco.

- Hi, everybody.

Want hear me play my new bongo drums?

- Maybe later, marco.

Right now we're trying to solve a mystery.

- Are you angelina's secret admirer?

- Sure, I admire you, angelina.

But it isn't a secret.

And I admire you and you

And you and you too.

- [Giggles]

- Happy valentine's day, everybody.

- Happy valentine's day too.

- Thanks, marco. - Yes, thank you.

- But if this valentine isn't from you,

I wonder who it could be from.

All: ms. Mimi.

- Hello, girls. Hello, marco.

Is everyone having a happy valentine's day?

- Mostly we're having a super mysterious valentine's day.

I found this on my doorstep, but I don't know who it's from.

- Oh my giddy goodness.

Look at all the green ribbons and hearts.

That's quite a valentine, angelina.

- Did you read the poem?

I don't need to, angelina.

I already know it by heart.

[Clears throat]

"Your laughter is like music.

"Your plies are divine.

"Let's dance until we're dizzy.

Won't you say that you'll be mine?"

- [Gasps]

That's absolutely, positively, exactly what it says.

How did you know?

- How? Why, I wrote it, of course.

- You? You're my secret admirer?

- That's right.

And I'm also marco, vici, and alice's secret admirer too.

I was just on my way

To deliver the rest of the valentines.

- Thank you, ms. Mimi.

This is the prettiest mystery I ever solved.

- Me too.

- That's for sure.

- Yes, thanks. - It's so amazing.

And now if you'll excuse me,

I've got a few more valentines to deliver.

Happy valentine's day, children.

All: happy valentine's day, ms. Mimi.

- Oh, no.

We forgot to give ms. Mimi a valentine.

- And our basket is all empty.

What are we gonna do?

- Oh, I really, truly don't have a clue.

- This is terrible.

We have to give ms. Mimi a valentine.

- Especially when she gave five amazing valentines to us.

- We could make her one.

- That would be nice, polly.

But I'm afraid we used up all of our paper

And sparkles and macaroni.

- No, not with those things.

Let's make a valentine with our feet, like this.

- [Gasps]

Polly, that's a wonderful idea.

We'll make her a dancing valentine.

Ms. Mimi, wait.

We've got a surprise for you.

- It's a surprise valentine.

- Oh, how lovely.

I can't wait to see it.

Hello. I'm angelina ballerina.

Today we're going to see some ballroom dancing.

That's where people dance together as partners.

This is called swing dancing.

It started back in the s

With a kind of jazz music called swing.

It takes a lot of practice to work well with your partner

So you know what to do next.

See how they move in time to the music?

Every step matches the tempo and each other.

They're simply stupendous.

Hello. I'm angelina ballerina.

Today we're going to see some ballroom dancing.

Now, this is called merengue.

It's a latin dance from the dominican republic.

It has a two-step b*at, like a march.

Right, left, right, left.

My, what a fancy dance.

Sometimes ballroom dancing is called social dancing.

But whatever you call it, ballroom is simply a ball.
