Chapter 2: New Neighbor

A.N: What's up, everybody! Welcome back to "Masked"! In Before we start, I would like to thank you guys for supporting this story again as I reposted it :) So, in the last chapter, we saw how normal everyday life is for a few of the masks. Everything is pretty chill, but they each have the feeling that something is missing, such as Whatcha and Thing debating on the importance of finding a soulmate and both Butterfly and Flamingo lamenting about their neighbor Miss Flower moving away. At the end a new neighbor moved into the house between Butterfly and Flamingo's homes. How will their new neighbor adjust? And how will everyone else react to this new girl in town? Find out right now!

The next day, Wednesday, went by slowly in the town of Maskglen. But that was really nothing new. Each day all of its citizens woke up to the exact same routines, going to the same jobs, seeing the same people. To most it felt like they were in a rut. Well, except for Butterfly and Flamingo.

The two friends were super elated because they finally had a new neighbor; a pretty lady sheep about their age. It was all very exciting. They had yet to talk to the sheep because they wanted to let her have a chance to settle in and become more comfortable with everything. So, naturally, they too just went about their normal business. All throughout the day before, they noticed their new neighbor made a lot of great progress moving in. It all looked so tiring at first and they figured they should probably lend a hand. But in the end they decided it'd be best to stay out of her way, and it didn't take long for them to notice that she was actually handling it very well. Plus she had a whole group of movers helping her do it.

Later on Tuesday afternoon, the same day she flew into town with her house keys, the moving truck carrying all of her furniture and belongings showed up in front of her house. Lamby was pleased that they were right on schedule. With her directions as well as a little extra help from her, the team of movers who were helping her move managed to get the job done within an hour or two. She paid them for their troubles and they were off. The young ewe then got the last few boxes into her house.

Lamby sighed as she set the last box down, wiping her sweat from her wooly forehead. "Wow! That was a lot!" She wheezed as she struggled to catch her breath, all of the furniture was where it needed to be and every box was in the house. A lot of the furniture was in place; now it was all up to her to unpack and get things sorted in her new home. Luckily, the sheep didn't bring too much with her and she had bought some of the furniture before the move. But it was already so late in the day and she didn't have the energy to unpack all of the boxes. So she headed to bed deciding that she would handle it all in the morning.

Her first night in the new house was rather...interesting. Sure, it felt rather strange being in an empty house, only really having her bed and other furniture set up while all of the packed boxes were still sealed and piled downstairs. But she didn't mind all that much. This whole move was like an adventure so nothing could bring her upbeat mood down.

Lamby woke up early Wednesday afternoon and yawned as she tiredly came down the stairs still in her pajamas. She looked around at all of the boxes that were sitting in both the living room and the foyer and remembered that she had to unpack.

"Well, I'd better get to work." She said to herself,

Lamby spent all of her Wednesday digging through the boxes and putting things away. By the time she was done, the sun was already setting. It was at this point that Lamby suddenly began to feel a little homesick. On her first night there, she was so excited about finally getting her own place that she didn't notice how empty it really was despite it being mostly empty except for the furniture. But now that she was all settled in, now that the boxes were all unpacked and everything was where it needed to be, the reality that she was all on her own and far away from home completely sank in which made her feel extremely lonely.
