I'm really gonna try my hardest on this one, I feel like I let you guys down with the quality of my past stories :[ so, to make up, I decided to start another X reader book, maybe to get some practice. Also, quick note, I will be taking a break from...
I awoke suddenly, a strange nightmare scaring me out of my (now) puppet skin. Hyperventilating, I looked around, trying to get a grasp on what was reality and what wasn't. After a few seconds, I had calmed down, and I stood, taking a few deep breaths as I grounded myself, leaning against the wall in an attempt to make sure I wouldn't fall over.
Finally calm, I sighed softly, and went to my wardrobe to get changed. I grabbed a simple outfit, and nodded, proud of what I had picked out. I thought I looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.

I nodded to myself, with a soft smile, and I headed out. I wandered for a tad, and then I realized- Julie never mentioned where this party would be taking place. Where do I go from here? I looked around the vibrant area, trying to find any traces of Wally or Julie. Weird, just when you need him, Wally is nowhere to be found. Just great.
I sighed, and tried to get to Julie's house, as that was where I expected the party to be, as she's the one who pitched the idea to Wally. I looked around a little, trying to remember the map, and the layout of the neighborhood. I had a faint memory of the map, so I headed that way, and luckily, I did eventually find Julie just as she left her house, with a basket of letters.
I walked up to her, walking with her, as I had nearly completely forgotten where I was once again. "oh, HIII neighbor!!" She said, just now noticing me. "hey Julie." I said, smiling slightly. "Are you going to the party later today? I mean, we're gonna throw it just for you anyways!" She said, very enthusiastically.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'll be going. What kind of neighbor would I be if I didn't show up?" I tilted my head with a soft giggle, and Julie laughed a tad in return. "You're not wrong, neighbor. I can't wait to see you there!!" I smiled warmly, then a question popped into my head. "Oh, uh.. Where was the party taking place again?"
"At Wally's! Silly neighbor, where else?"
I tensed up a little. so below. Those were the only words going through my head right now. I remembered that worksheet secret, it was... unsettling. That strange, black goop... who in their right mind would ever want to stay at Wally's house, even just for a day? Why? It's probably not safe-
"Good morning, neighbor." It was Wally. How the hell..? I shook my head, throwing that thought out of the window. "Oh, uhm... hah, h-hey, Wally. Not to sound rude, but.. why... why are you here exactly?-" Wally smiled, and stared into my soul, as if he knew what I was thinking, and that was why he was over here. Julie stopped too, waving to Wally happily.
Wally calmly gestured for Julie to get those notes to Eddie's, as he wanted to chat with me. And what scared me was that nobody was there to have my back if something went wrong. Wally's smile faltered a little, and he sighed. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Silly neighbor. Please, take a look around." I looked around, seeing happy neighbors chatting and having fun in the distance, seemingly not noticing us.
"Do you see how happy they are, neighbor?" I nodded softly, turning back to Wally as he said this. "I do not want our perfect world to be ruined, and if you're gong around, trying to figure out every little secret of ours, then all of this..." He gestured to the neighbors in the distance. "..All of this could be gone. So, let's just keep the secrets... a secret, hm?" I stared for a second, before nodding.
"HEYYY!! I'm baaackk!!~" Julie skipped back, talking in a sing-songy voice. I smiled at her, feeling safe now that there was someone other than Wally here. I waved at her, as did Wally. "Just remember, neighbor.." He whispered.
"...someone is always watching."
I felt a shiver run down my spine. The way he said it... it was malicious, terrifying, and... ever so slightly flirtatious? Whatever, it's fine, i'll be fine. I chuckled nervously, as I felt Wally's eyes on me. I knew, without a doubt, that he was giving me an innocent, yet psychopathic death glare. He smiled, and we all parted ways, each of us heading back to our houses.
I quickly ran home, scared for my life. I slammed the door quietly, and I looked around frantically, closing all the blinds and locking all doors and windows. I was paranoid, I knew I had that strange feeling of being watched, but what Wally said basically confirmed that something, or someone was watching me. It scared me to my core.
I sat down on my living room couch, shaking a little. I took a few deep breaths in an attempt to regulate my breathing, and I eventually stopped shaking. My chest was still pounding, however. I looked up to one of the top corners of the room, as I spotted a small camera. Despite only being here for two days, I had already recognized the usual cameras, that were used for filming back when the show was still being aired.
But this camera was different.
This camera was small, well-hidden, and.. still recording?! I jumped back, and ran around the house a little, trying to find any other cameras, if there were any. There was one in every room except the bathroom. (thank god for that.) I sighed, and locked myself in my bedroom, sitting in the corner farthest from the camera. It was then I remembered.
"...shit. that god damn party is today..."
I looked down at the carpeted bedroom floor, and I wanted to just lay on the floor and die on the spot. There was no way in hell I would be going over to visit Home for a party, it's always been so unsettling to me. I understood it was just a house, and could likely do no harm, but it still made me anxious. I sighed, and looked back up at the camera, unsure of what to do.
