(That's the outfit but it's stripped like Wally's pants,  she got it before knowing him.  Also no hair bump and is lightly curled.)

It's currently 12am rn 02/10/24 and I'm still having issues with wattpad keeping the pictures I add.  I don't have the original picture I had so please be easy on me. 💗



I've been staying with Poppy for a whole 3 week now,  so I'm gonna surprise her today.
I got up early and went out to Howdy's Place.   The back room light was on so I went in to see what he was up to,  basket hanging on my arm.    "Howdy?  Everything ok back here?"   "Oh yes indeed,   I've made a new invention!"   "That's wonderful Howdy!  How does it work?"    He showed me,  it was really funny watching it do it's thing.
"Now then,  what can do for you today Y/n?"
"Well I wanted to surprise Poppy today since I've been here for 3 weeks,   so I was going to make a special breakfast and her favorite coffee."
"Ah I see,  well go have a look around then."
I did exactly that.   I picked up coffee gounds,  a bag of the new seeds that just came in,  and came across the sweet little tea set Poppy has been eyeing.

also saw an apple cup,   Wally could use this for cleaning his brushes.    I put the cup in my basket and went to check out with some other items I picked up on the way.
"Howdy,  could you set aside the tea set Poppy has been looking at?  I'll come back to pick it up after I've set the jacket down at home."  I set down the amount of money necessary for everything,  including the tea set.  "Of course I can,  paying for it now?"
"Yes I am.  Thank you Howdy,  I'll be back in a bit."  I put all the stuff I bought back in the basket and set off,  the sun is about to rise so I gotta be quick.    Poppy wasn't up yet when I got back,  so I set all the ingredients and the apple cup on the table and left the house again with my basket.   The set was waiting for me at the register,  so I carefully it the cups and pitchers in the basket and waved bye to Howdy.

I had just enough time to package the tea set and make the food and coffee.   Right as I set the table I head Poppy coming into the kitchen.   "Good morning Poppy!  I made special seed muffins,  jam,  and coffee as a thank you for letting me stay here."
Her face lit up when she saw the table filled with her favorite foods.    "Wow Y/n,  you didn't have to do this."   "I know,  but you've been so kind to me I just wanted to do something nice.  So let's eat shall we?"
I waited till we finished eating to give her the present.   "Poppy,  I also got you something."   I handed her the box and watched her open it.   "Oh my,  thank you
Y/n."   We hugged each other while giggling.
Her feathers a so soft.   "Alright,  well Poppy I'm going to see if Eddie needs help."
"Ok,  be safe."  "I will."   I took my basket and put the now wrapped apple cup in it.

I walked into the post office and found Eddie in a tizzy.   "Hi Eddie,  need any help with deliveries?"   "Oh thank the stars,  yes please.   Apparently there's an order of paints and canvases for Wally,  he doesn't normaly get many colors but he got the whole rainbow."   I giggled and helped put the supplies in his mail wagon.   "I was planning on visiting him today actually,   so I'll gladly take a few things off your load for the neighbors on my way.   I'll bring the wagon back before I head home."   "Thank you so much Y/n,  you're such an angel."
"It's no issue at all,   I'll stop by later."
I have to say,  life feels more fulfilling now.
The air feels fresher and I feel more alive.

"Good morning Barnaby!"

"Hi Julie."

"Here you go Frank,  here's your mail."

Home soon came into view.
"Hello Home."
Home waved at me and looked happy to see me.   "I have a big delivery for Wally,  paint and canvases.   Has Wally woken up yet?  I don't want to intrude."    Home opened the door for me as I carried over 1 bucket of paint.   "Are you sure this is ok?  I havent even knocked yet."   Home made creaking noises as if laughing and saying it's ok.
It was a slow process but I finally got everything inside.    "Is Wally ok?  He's usually up by now."    I moved over to his bedroom door and knocked.   "Wally?  Is everything alright?  Home let me in and I brought your delivery.   Wally?"   The door opened and there was Wally,  at a mirror fighting with his hair.    He jumps when he sees me and straightened his back.   "Good morning Y/n."   His sweet pompadour was nowhere to be seen,  only long blue hair draping over one of his eyes.

It's honestly really cute

It's honestly really cute.
"Wally Darling,  all you needed to do was ask."   His cheeks became a little rosey as walked in and set my gift for him on the dresser.    "Bad hair day huh?  I get those all the time,  everyone does at some point."   I combed my fingers through his soft and silky blue hair,  looking for knots.
I found at least two and got to work using his comb.   "Wally,  I don't know how you do it but your hair is nice and healthy.   Now let's see,  ah ha!  Hair spray,  curler,  and hair dryer.  Perfect.   Now let's get you your pompadour."    I had him sit on his bed as I rolled the hair curler in his hair,  being careful not to pull.   I combed the rest of his hair and started to blow hot air from the blow dryer onto the pompadour curl.
I hummed and bopped a little as a sprayed his massive curl and pulling out the curler.
I even fixed the baby curls near his ears.

I gazed into Wally's eyes and felt my earth race as he gazed back.   "All done,  have a look."  While he went to look in the mirror,  I went to put away what I pulled out.
"Thank you Y/n,  it looks better than normal."   "I'm glad it's to your liking.  Also I brought you something."   I handed him the gift and watched him open it.    He stared at it with sparkling eye,  a mug shaped like a shining red apple.   "I thought this would be perfect for rinsing off your paint brushes,  or you can display too."   I gave him a hug.  I thought he'd hug back,  but he sighed in content as he rested his chin on my shoulder.   I let out I light giggle and squeezed the hug a little before letting go.
"Your art supplies is over with your collection,  I'll be off then."  







"Home,   is this what it feels like to feel emotions?"
