Bailey had a Great Aunt who recently moved to Bailey's city. Even though she barely knew her Great Aunt, Bailey was worried that she might be lonely in a new town without any of her friends. She wanted to make sure that her Great Aunt felt loved and not forgotten in her new home at the retirement community.
So, every afternoon that Bailey didn't have dance class, she rode her bike a few blocks from her house to the retirement village to pay a visit to her Great Aunt. Every time she visited her, Bailey would try to find small gifts that would cheer her up, like a loaf of pumpkin bread, a small bouquet of flowers from Bailey's backyard, or a deck of cards so they could play rummy together. She also brought some of her favorite books to read to her Great Aunt, since her Aunt's eyes were not as sharp as they used to be.
