Stretching, you grinned. Finally having slept enough, you felt motivated to start the day. Grabbing an apple from your fruit's bowl, you munched on it. " Oi! [name]! " You heard your friend yell, entering from the front door. " Huh? " You questioned, still eating the apple. " Can you do me a favor? Pleaseee! I need you to go out and buy me a new bracelet! " She begged you, clasping her hands together. " ..Why? " You asked, taking another bite of the fruit. " Well, today's my sister's birthday, and I told her I already had a gift ready, when I don't! So I thought that I could go out and buy her the bracelet that she wants, but she's already in the city! If she sees me, I'll never hear the end of it! " Finishing your food, you threw out the remains. " Hmm... Alright! " Giving her a thumbs up, you got ready to head out. " WAAAHH! THANKS [name], YOU'RE THE BEST! HERE'S THE MONEY! "

You walked towards the busier streets, looking for the jewelry shop. Humming a tune, you waved at some of your old friends. " Where is it, where is it.... " You said, furrowing your eyebrows. Sighing, you followed the crowd. Today was especially slow, there were a lot of tourists, and you were getting very impatient. " Ugh! Whatever! " Turning on your heel, you took a shortcut. The alley looked sketchy, but there was nobody in sight anyway. Quickening your pace, you looked for something in your pockets. It was your pocket watch, you eyed at the time. Almost an hour and it would be time for lunch! Woah, you really dragged the greeting with everybody, huh. No matter, you could still make it! Continuing to hum, you turned to your right but accidentally ran into something... fluffy? " Huh? "

" I'm sorry! " You said, frowning. Looking in front of you, you looked at a.. polar bear wearing a weird orange jumpsuit. " A... polar bear? " You said out loud, surprised. It nodded, meekly apologizing back. " Sorry. " Your eyes widened even more, it could talk! " You can speak? " It nodded, pouting. " I'm sorry... " It apologized again, making you pout as well. " Uh, it's alright! I'm the one who bumped into you, big guy! " You said, giving him a reassuring smile. It didn't say anything but played with the ends of its uniform. " Uhm.. Sorry again, but I need to go! " You informed him, bowing slightly. It panicked, waiving its paws around. " I'm lost! " He yelled slightly, sweat dropping. You paused, muttering a small 'oh'. You pondered for a moment, you could run away and not waste any time, or you could try and help him out, possibly having to miss lunch to buy your friend's gift...

" Where do you need to go? " You questioned, grinning. He brushed his nape, thinking for a second. " Where do they sell.. commemorative coins? " He asked, taking you once again off guard. You wondered for a second, do they even sell those things anywhere? " Hmm, we can try the antique shop! It's got a lot of cool little trinkets, maybe you'll find some there. " You suggested, placing a hand on your hip. He nodded, giving you a small smile. " Can you lead the way? " He asked, hopeful. " Of course! Here come with me! And try to not get lost, there's a lot of tourists this time of the year! " You informed him, turning around. " Alright! " He said, grabbing onto your hand. You grinned, he was so cute! An his hand was so fluffy too! " Waah, you're so adorable... " You stopped, you didn't know his name! " I'm Bepo. " You nodded, " Nice to meet you, Bepo! I'm [name]! "

" Alright, we're here! " You told him, stopping in front of a very old building. He smiled, opening the door. Looking around the room, you saw various curious objects, most were old. " Woahh! " You said, admiring the trinkets. " Hello, young lady! " A voice greeted you, surprised. It was an old lady, possibly the owner of the shop. " Hello there! Me and my friend here are looking for.. uh.. Bepo? " You turned to him, having already forgotten why you two were there. " Commemorative coins! " He replied, reminding you. The old lady shook her head, thinking. " Oh yes, yes.. I think I had a few somewhere.. please stay here while I go look for them! " She turned around, slowly disappearing behind the counter. Humming, you went back to looking around. Something special caught your eyes, it was a Den Den Mushi. You got closer, staring at him. It was a hot pink color, and its shell was black. It was.. sleeping, you think. You hoped it wasn't dead.

" I'm back, young lady! ... Oh my! " She said, readjusting her glasses. " Are you perhaps interested in this little guy? " She questioned, smiling. You turned to her, smiling. " Well, I've never had a Den Den Mushi, and I thought this one was pretty cute! " She chuckled, shaking her head. " Oh dear.. " She mumbled, looking at it. " It's not just any Den Den mushi.. " She said, turning to you. " It's special, it was left behind by a powerful devil fruit user. " She told you grinning. " With this, you can contact people from the past! " Your eyes widened, shining with excitement. " Really? That's so cool! It must be worth a lot then! " You said, giggling. She sadly shook her head, sighing. " Not at all. Nobody believes the story, it's been sitting here for a long time. " She paused, smirking amusedly. " If you wish, you can have it for free, along with these coins. "

" Oh, no! Please, tell me how much it is. " You reached out for your wallet, but she stopped you before you could do so. " Oh, I insist! take it! And here, the commemorative coins. " Shoving a small box in your hands, she shook her head. " Please, take the Den Den Mushi. " She pleaded with you, smiling. You sighed, feeling bad. " I.. Alright, but please, if you ever need any favor, let me know! " You told her, pouting. Laughing, she patted your back, " Ah, don't worry! " You took the small animal and turned to Bepo. " I got the coins! Here, Bepo! " You ran to him, handing him the box. His eyes lit up, taking it. " Thank you a lot, [name]. " You waved a hand around. " It's nothing! But I've got to go now, what time is it? " You asked, and turned to the clock. " Oh, crap! It's time for lunch, the shop closed! Ugh, now I'll have to wait another two hours.. " You said, frowning. " Ah, no matter. Bepo, Do you want to have lunch with me? "

But I want to walk with you, slowly, for a long time, until the end of time

I desperately want it right now, a piece of a peace of mind
