Y/n woke up the next morning (they napped a little too long 💀-) feeling refreshed and for once well rested. They looked outside to see that the sun was slowly rising into the horizon and birds were beginning to chirp cheerfully.

They sat up and stretched against the couch, feeling their limbs relax out of the previous position they were in while sleeping. Y/n let out a loud yawn before standing up and walking through the kitchen door, to the outside.

To their surprise, they saw Wally already outside sitting on the grass and staring up at the sky with a soft smile on his face. Y/n walked over and sat down next to them, causing him to turn and smile upon seeing Y/n. "You're up way earlier than usual." Y/n laughed and playfully shoved Wally.

"Ok, I don't sleep in THAT late." Wally give Y/n a "mhm" look, before focusing their gaze back on the sky. The two sat in a peaceful silence as the sky began to turn beautiful shades of orange and pink. "I've always found sunrises to be so beautiful." Wally spoke as he glanced at Y/n.

"Same here." They said as they got lost in the beautiful view in front of them. "Hey, Wally, you know how to bake pretty well, right?" Wally chuckled before laying down against the grass. "I suppose I do. Why are you asking?" Y/n fell back against the grass as well.

"Well, the other day, you gave me a note with some strawberries and mentioned making strawberry short cake. I must admit, I'm not really good at baking." (If you are, just pretend you aren't for the sake of the story.) Wally let out a laugh as he looked at Y/n who has a small blush on their cheeks.

"Well, we most certainly must do something about that." Y/n met his eyes before their face turned a brighter shade of red after realizing how close they were to them. Y/n quickly sat up and chucked awkwardly. "Wanna meet up at my place?" Wally nodded before completely standing up and gently helping Y/n up as well. "Sounds like a plan!"

The two left and went to their separate homes for the time being. Y/n took a refreshing shower and got dressed in some comfy clothes. Not long after they finished, a knock sounded downstairs. Y/n happily opened the door and stepped aside for Wally to come in.

"I brought aprons and some supplies just in case." Y/n chuckled at Wally who has his hands full. "Need any help with that stuff?" "Yes, please." Y/n mischievously grabbed only the aprons and left Wally with the rest of the supplies. "Gee, thanks." Y/n burst out laughing, before grabbing some more and actually helping them out.

The two made their way into the kitchen and immediately got to work. Wally shrugged on their "kiss the cook" apron, while Y/n threw on a regular one. Wally was cracking eggs into a mixing bowl, when Y/n quickly snuck a kiss on his cheek.

Wally immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Y/n with a surprised but happy look. "Just doing what the apron says." Wally glanced down and began to chuckle with a small blush. "Oh, I didn't realize." The two carried on and began the process of making shortcakes- well, more like Wally did, while Y/n mostly watched and popped a few strawberries into their mouth.

After the short cakes were finished baking, Y/n covered them with strawberries and added some whipped cream on top. The two finished and smiled with success, as Y/n took a bite of the delicious strawberry treat. With a mouth full of food, they mumbled happily. "Tis ish sow gwod."

Wally took a bite with his eyes and nodded in agreement. A knock sounded from the door, causing Y/n to put down their shortcake and open the door. Barnaby was standing there with a cheeky smile. "Do I smell, shortcake?" Y/n laughed and nodded, letting Barnaby in.

Y/n walked back into the kitchen to see their plate was empty. "Wally! Did you seriously eat my shortcake?!" Wally blinked innocently at Y/n. "Now, how did you come to that conclusion?" They gave them an unimpressed look as Barnaby served himself some. "This looks delicious, thank you!" Y/n and Wally happily nodded at him.

Another knock sounded from the door and Y/n let out a sigh as they walked over and saw Poppy and Julie. "Hiya Y/n-" "You're here for the shortcake?" Julie rubbed the back of her neck as Poppy looked around. "Guilty." Y/n stepped aside as the two entered and went into the kitchen. Just as Y/n closed the door, another knock came.

Y/n didn't even ask as they stepped aside for Howdy and Eddie who nodded at Y/n before going into the kitchen. They closed the door and we're about to walk away, when one last knock sounded. Y/n furrowed their eyebrows in confusion before opening the door.
