As they drove through the quaint little neighbourhood, Edward was in awe at all the people and what random things they were up to. Kids sliding on the yellow things all the way across their lawn, he excitedly points over at them to see if Peg can see this brilliant fun they were having. But he brought his hand extremely close to her face causing her to jump. They both yelled a little bit.

"I'm sorry" Peg exhaled and quickly dismissed it.

"You go ahead and look. You have every right to be excited" he smiled at her and continued looking out the window. There was a man who was doing some mowing, and that intrigued him so he leant forward and bumped his head on the window.

"Oh. You okay?" She said softly. He nodded and went back to peering at people. He noticed a few women eyeing him and then running into their homes. But he took nothing from it. And at last, they were at his new home.

"Here we go, dear. This is our house. And you can just go right in and make yourself at home, okay?"

"And just...we'll have something to eat and drink or whatever you," she noticed him fall behind. He was just admiring the view he had got for many years from afar, now up close, it's so quiet.

"Dear... here we are... this is the front door here... here we go right in here." Frankly, she just wanted him inside so her lady "friends" wouldn't notice him and pounce.

"Here we are" Edward walks ahead slightly and takes in this brand new scenery.

"So this is the living room- back here is the bedrooms..." she smiles" oh you wanna see the pictures... all right."

"Well, is my husband, Bill." She points at the largest photo with someone holding a bowling ball. "He's a bowling champion, do you know what bowling is?" He glances at her, clearly not knowing what bowling is...

"Well, here they are at the lake fishing- I think Kevin looks a little glum!" she smiles, "They didn't catch anything that day" she smiles brightly at that picture.

"And this is my oldest... Y/N. All dressed up for his senior prom." She smiles fondly. "He's a senior now if you can believe it. He's camping in the mountains with his friends, but he'll be back in a few days and you can meet him then"

His eyes glanced around at the photos, more specifically the photos of Y/N.
He looks at every feature on his face, he was so absorbed into the photo of Y/Ns charming smile he didn't notice Peg talking to him.

"Now over here's the kitchen.."
He snaps out of it and follows her not before snipping at some grapes

"Those are grapes dear."

" now I think I might have some of Bill's old clothes in here!" She quickly reaches into a closet and pulls out a neatly folded outfit.
"These should fit you," she says twirling back to her guest.

"Thank you" Edward answers softly and shortly. She smiles in return. Handing him Some clothes. She guides him to Y/Ns room when a phone can be heard ringing. It startled Edward.
" oh! Don't be alarmed dear that's just the phone., now you go into Y/Ns room and ill be right with you" she ushers him into Y/Ns room and shuts the door. She scurried to the phone and answers her gossiping friends.

Edward looks around the teenage boy's room, he walks over to a dresser that has a mirror on it, he places the clothes down. For a moment he ogles himself. He pokes the reflection of his face, then he pokes himself in the face causing a small nick on his cheek. He flinched and then looks down. He fiddles with the handles to Y/Ns clothes, he eventually opens the top draw and sees a bunch of clothes that have just been shoved in there. He hooked a pair of pants (underwear) and looked at them out of curiosity.

Edward accidentally snipped a hole in them. Panicking, he shoved it back into the draw and slams it shut down his body.

He turns around and sees the big bed. There's a bunch of pillows in it, including some stuffed toys, Edward thought they looked cute. He picked one up with great difficulty, accidentally poking its eye out. His eyes widen as he puts the plush on its side so its unbroken side is showing.

He turns back to the clothes and very carefully starts dressing. He very slowly but surely managed to get the trousers on successfully,  he smiled, proud of himself, wondering what peg will say, then he started on the shirt.

_-_

"Sorry I  took so long dear- oh, may I hear you with this?" She offers. Edward peaks out of the head hole and sees peg glancing at him.

His scissors were halfway through the sleeves, he had just gotten a few stuck.

"Thank you..."

After she pulls the shirt down and folds the collar all nice she notices the small cut on his cheek.

"Oh dear, you cut yourself. Here, let me just get it.. does it hurt?"

Edward was getting used to Pegs caring ways and didn't flinch when she started wiping the cut
"No..."

"No? Good okay, now let me button up your shirt, you look so smart already"

After another few minutes, she leads Edward to a mirror and shows him off.

"You look fine. Just fine" she beams. He seems quite please with his new style as well. He tries to ping his suspenders but ends up cutting them in half.
