(Tess' pov 🍭)

   I am not going down a well ever again.

That night I was thinking about something.
Not about myself.
Something that would change Willys life.
  

   He has been struggling selling chocolate on the streets,with the police after him 24/7.
   He always says that he dreams of opening a shop here.

   And he says he has found the exact building.
But he can't open it.

If he can't open it,I will.

   When I met with Noodle that afternoon I explained my exact idea,with every little detail.

-"That...Brilliant!"she said.

-"Well of course it is.So the shop opens.Tomorrow or whatever."

-"Deal.We will Tell Willy tomorrow and we will take him to it."

-"Great.See you tomorrow."

-"Bye bye Tess!"

   The ship was ready to sail.

Thankfully,I managed everything without getting my dads attention.

   In the morning when Noodle came to my house and we got in the cart hiding under some sheets,Willy started saying some nonsense again.

-"I don't have any chocolate to sell again!"

-"And why don't you have any?"i asked him,trying to keep the sheets in place.

-"Because the orange man with green hair came again!"he simply said.

-"Uh huh sure." We heard Noodle say from outside.

-"But this time I had a trap for him!"He claimed,and a wide proud grin spread across his face.

-"Then where is he?"I asked him and the smile faded away,replaced by a frown.

-"Well we got into an argument and he beat me!He hit me with a pan and got out the window!"he said.

-"Yeah sure."Noodle said again.

   Willy got out of the sheets.

-"You don't believe me do you?"he asked.

-"No." Everyone said.

  I got out of the sheets as well and looked up at him.

-"Honestly,no."I said and looked at him right in the eyes.

-"But.."

-"Besides we don't have to sell any chocolate today."  Noodle said smiled at me.

-"And whys that?" Willys voice sounded sad.I almost felt bad for him.

-"Because remember that shop you've been dreaming about?"

   Willy lifted his head and looked at Noodle.She showed him the keys.

   His reaction was so precious.

He got out of the cart,grabbed the keys and started running towards the shop.

   Gosh,what a five year old.
  I acted like that when my mom would buy me a new toy or cute little dresses.

-"AND TADAAA!"

  Well it was the most destroyed thing I had ever seen in my life.

-"This is amazing..."Noodle mumbled.

   Willy however was walking around to every corner,every single place of the shop to examine it.

-"Willy?Do you like it?"Noodle asked him.

-"If I like it?I love it!"he answered and Noodle run up to him,hugging him.

  I smiled.

-"Thanks kid."

-"Don't thank me.It was Tess' idea anyway.She got the keys."

  I couldn't even respond or say anything before Willy literally run up to me and wrapped his arms around me.

-"THANK YOU!"he would say all over and over again.

Warm.

-"Yeah don't-Dont mention it.."I looked over at Noodle.

   She simple giggled.

  Once I catch this kid.

Willy pulled back and looked at me smiling.

-"I owe you."

-"No no really you don't."

-"I do."

-"You don't."

-"We should get to work."

-"Well I'll have to leave.I told my dad I'd be home by 5 and if he finds out I'm.."

-"You are screwed yes we know," Willy completed my sentence, "Go Tess.Just..Be back for when I open the shop alright?"

-"I'll try."

  I looked behind me once before I left.
This shop was going to be a huge success.
