Wally was once again on his normal patrols when he passed Barnabys house, he turned to looked at home and gasped when he realized home was looking his direction. He turned to see if there was any bushes to hide in, but he didn't see anything, he had no choice so he bolted into Barnabys house and shut the door. It was dark and the only light was the ones that shined through his windows.

He hesitantly slipped down the hallway and into the living room. The blinds were over the windows and he crept over to them and glanced out, home was still looking at Barnabys house and Wally was hoping he didn't see him run inside. Wally shivered at homes appearance. It was even worse the last time he dared to look in that direction, his eyes were black voids with a white spiral in the center and those black arms were now growing from the ground and the door had black goop seeping out from under it, the walls were cracked badly and it looked like there was a slight crack in homes window-like eyes.. Wally closed the curtains and walked upstairs quietly, then he turned and looked at Barnabys bedroom door.

He walked into the room and glanced at  Barnabys bed when a flood of memories washed back to him. He looked silently at the blood stained sheet and shivered because he knew.. It was his... He glanced over at the mirror near Barnabys closet and he cringed slightly at his appearance. His hair was messy and down, his clothes were a bit over sized since he was borrowing shirts from Howdy and Julie and Sally were teaming up and making everyone new clothes but because of his small size they were always a little bit too big for him, but he didn't mind. His body was covered in head to toe in scars and scratches, his sleeves were rolled up to reveal the bandages on his wrists and the bloodied bandages around his torso were unsettling to him. He looked so.. Different? He looked at the mirror and a tear rolled down his face but he quickly wiped it away and sighed.

He looked at Barnabys nightstand and thought to himself that he shouldn't dig around in his partners stuff, but.. How could he not? He slowly crept over and opened the drawers. He saw a bunch of old junk like paper clips and old dog bones, but then he saw a picture.. He picked it up and looked at it. He almost started to cry when he saw it was a picture of Barnaby, and Him, and Julie, and All the other neighbors together.. He smiled and put the picture in his pocket, then he shut the drawer and left Barnabys room. He thought about checking the fridge but it had been so long everything would be rotten now, especially since nobody had been in any of the houses expect Howdys since this whole thing started.

He walked downstairs and looked out the window again and a wave of relief rushed over him when he realized home was no longer looking in his direction. He sprinted towards the door and opened it, then he slammed it behind him and gunned it to Howdys shop. He ran inside panting and shut the door. Thankfully nobody was in the main part of the store this time because the last time he ran in frantically everyone thought he was hurt, which wasn't entirely wrong but Wally was sure he would have been fine. He walked into the other room, still breathing heavily from running and leaned against the doorframe smiling when he saw Julie and Sally running around happily playing together. Barnaby noticed him and ran over.

"Wally!!!" He yelled happily, hugging him. Julie and Sally stopped running around and screaming and Julie ran over and hugged him as well. Wally was surprised and when Barnaby set him down from the hug he laughed slightly, "Hi guys.." he said quietly. "You look winded." Frank said from across the room, Wally turned to look at him "It's that obvious?" He said frowning, Frank nodded and walked over "Are you alright?" Wally nodded "I'm fine, just had to dodge Home again." Frank frowned and Julie gripped the edge of her dress when he said this. Barnaby looked at him concerned, "Are you hurt?.." Wally looked an him surprised, "No it's ok! I'm fine" he smiled, "I just had to hide in your house for a bit." This seem to calm both Julie and Frank down as they both seemed to relax a bit. Barnaby nodded "Oh ok." he said, backing up a step to give him room. "I'm glad your alright." Frank said before returning to his seat in the corner of the room to continue reading, Julie followed him and sat down next to him, glancing over at his book. Wally started to walk towards Poppy, Howdy and Eddie who were sitting in the middle of the room, Sally sat down next to Poppy and joined them. "Watcha doing?" Wally said walking over and joining them as well. Howdy glanced as Eddie with a worried look and Eddie nodded, "We should tell him.." He said softly. Howdy Nodded as well and turned to look at Wally "We are discussing how to defeat home.."
