It took a few days to hear back from everyone and hammer out the details, but once I had them, I almost broke Teresa’s office door down to tell her the news.

“Teresa! This is huge,” I said, banging her door open.

She peeled her eyes away from her computer screen long enough to look at me. “What’s going on?” she asked.

I closed the door behind me and sat down in the chair next to her desk. “It’s about Lillian Wachowski’s party this weekend,” I said. “I got the idea to approach some local vendors and see if they would be interested in either making a donation to her party or giving us a discount in exchange for us promoting their brand on social media.”

“Oh?” Teresa looked interested now. She tilted her head to the side, listening intently. “And how did that work out?”

“We got them. All of them,” I beamed, showing her my phone. “Look. My nephew’s birthday cake came from this bakery, it was amazing. She’s going to make us a cake with ponies and unicorns on it for half the price she normally charges. Dominic’s going to cover the rest,” I added quickly, since even at half price the cake would have taken up most of our budget. “We’re going to post a ton of pictures to all of our followers and tag the bakery in all of them.”

Teresa’s face lit up with a genuine smile. “Natalie, that’s fantastic!” she exclaimed. “Good for you. This is a great step forward.”

“That’s not all,” I said proudly. “I also worked out a deal with Princess Anastasia, this woman who dresses up as different princesses and does stuff like face painting and tea parties, that kind of thing. Dominic thinks Lillian will love her. I’m sure all the kids will. And a pizza place. I tried emailing a few pizza chains and asking them if we could work something, but they were all national chains with big advertising budgets so we didn’t have much to offer them. But then I called Gino’s – this place in a strip mall in the business park near the ball park. And they were happy to give us some pizzas in exchange for some social media coverage.”

I thought Teresa’s eyes were going to pop out of her head. She jumped out of her seat and wrapped me in a big hug. “Amazing!” she crowed. “You’ve worked really hard on this, I can tell. Good for you.”

I puffed up under her praise. I knew I’d done great work, but hearing Teresa actually say those words out loud meant a lot to me. “Thanks,” I said. “I’m really pleased, too. Lillian’s going to have a great party.”

“How is the rest of the party coming along?” Teresa asked. “It’s going to be Sunday at lunchtime, I think you said?”

“That’s right,” I said. “Pizza and cake, balloons and face painting.”

“Do you have everything you need? I think we have plates and cups for everyone in the kitchen, but anything else you need?”

“I’m sure there’s some stuff to be picked up,” I said.
