Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 13, 2013

That unicorn is just too equincentric and that isn’t even very poetic. Max is a tech geek so some play on Apple (ujean)would be better. For Dakota you need something superficially flattering with an insulting deeper meaning.

Her best course is to say something reasonably nice in Dakota’s card. It’s entirely possible that D’s message to her will be at least passingly pleasant. In that case Phoebe would feel like a heel if her card to D were less so, even if they are given anonymously. And if D’s written message does turn out to be like her verbal ones, Phoebe will have the moral advantage, and who knows it might change enmity to friendship.

Perhaps compare Dakota to a bale of digested hay.

What century are you living in dude? lol

Oops! She’s already become too domesticated.

Great one unicorn!

For Max you should say “Your even better then a brand new Apple” and let him assume what he will from that. And for Dakota say “you are as important as a Unicorn Princess” and let her make her own assumptions from it as well.

but some how I feel like the plot will just leave us with a confused Max, a sad Dakota who will need cheering up , a Phoebe who took bad advice from a Unicorn, a teacher’s letter home to mom and some how involve boogers.

thats one of many ideas I would consider for plot.

How about having Margold enclose a tiny bit of her magical pure happiness into every card?

For Dakota, may I recommend “you are lower than a grabastic piece of amphibian ^&*$ to me!” :P
