You Make Me Happier Than Joy

Have You Heard?

Constable Constable's POV

"Oi lads, have ya taken a gander at the newcomer?" Constable Hunt said walking up to me and one of the lads walking on patrol, Constable Bacon next to him.

"Newcomer? From one of the other districts ya mean?" I questioned, not quite sure if he meant someone from outside Wellington Wells.

"No! Someone from ou'side Wellington Wells. Ou'side Europe from wha' I've heard!" Constable Bacon chimed in, twirling his baton.

"From the States is what Mrs. O'Donohue told me the o'er day" Reynolds said scratching his chin.

"Has there ever been anyone that came to Wellington Wells from anywhere else before?" I asked. People usually never come to Wellington Wells, even from the UK I couldn't recall anyone ever coming or leaving here. And for the newcomer to come all the way from the States is all entirely different. I wonder why he came all this way just for a small place like this?

"No mate, don't believe so" Constable Bacon answered.

"Oi, but 'ave you seen her?! She's enough to make a decent Wellie quit 'is Joy for 'er!" Reynolds said, very much so getting the rest of the lads attention. Mine too if I'm being honest, all the lads getting excited to see a new woman here isn't a shocker.

"You've seen 'er?!" the rest of the lads asked in unison.

"Of course! Seen a picture of the beaut, Mrs. O'Donohue showed me it a couple days ago when we were 'avin a chat."

"What's she look like Reynolds?! You can't just keep this vital information from your lads!" Constable Hunt said hitting Reynolds in the arm with his baton.

"Well! You can take a look for yerself! She's right there sittin' with Mrs. O'Donohue eatin' lunch!" Reynolds pointed towards the two ladies using his head. His hands were a bit busy getting Hunt to stop hitting him with his baton.

To say that me and the lads were very interested in meeting this newcomer now would be an understatement. From what we could all see was her from the side of her. We couldn't see her face from where we were patrolling yet. We watched as she talked with Mrs. O'Donohue and we could see both of them were laughing. She must've felt us staring at her, because she looked over at us as she was taking a drink.

"Oh, now that's great! She probably thinks of us as some sor' of creeps just staring at her an' all!" Constable Reynolds said.

"Well should we introduce ourselves then?" I asked.

"Nooo! That would make it that much more the strange, I'd say we introduce ourselves a different time. Not all weird and in a small herd" Hunt suggested. We all agreed that was the best plan. But we all knew it was a race to see who could get to her first. We were all curious about the beautiful lady that decided to join us here in Wellington Wells. The four of us decided to split back to our original pairs, lucky for the four of us the little cafe was on the corner of the block. So the other lads went right down the street while me and Reynolds went straight. We were in luck, because when we go straight down the street we'll get a glance at the new lady better. We may even be lucky enough to speak to the two ladies. Reynolds and I usually talk with the O'Donohue's quite often, they talk to all of the lads when they have the chance. It's rather nice knowing that they appreciate how hard we work. Mrs. O'Donohue's baked goods are always a nice cherry on top.

As we got closer to the cafe Mrs. O'Donohue noticed the two of us patrolling. "Oh! Constable Reynolds! Constable Constable! How are you on this fine day?"

"Quite alright Mrs. O'Donohue! How are you two lovely ladies doing this morning?" Reynolds asked. Seeing her this close really shows what Reynolds was talking about earlier. Such a beautiful smile she has, it almost camouflages her very red cheeks, from what looks like blushing.

"Well that's good to hear! Have you met my niece Alexandretta?! She came over from the States, isn't she just darling?"

"Alexandretta?" I said holding my hand out to her, which she took my hand. I then took her hand and kissed the top of it briefly "Quite the beautiful name for a beautiful lady, I'm Constable Jack Constable. It's a great pleasure meeting you Miss".

I smiled as her face grew redder, something I wouldn't have been able to see if she was wearing a mask like the rest of the town. "W-why...uh..it-it's a pleasure meeting you..uh..too Constable Constable" she replied with a small shy smile. Reynolds was about to say something before we heard a woman yell "DOWNER!!!" one street over.

"Sorry ladies, duty calls!" Reynolds said before we took off running to the next street over to take care of a possible downer situation.

Normal POV

I sat there hoping that they wouldn't come up for a chat like Auntie May said, but at the same time I did. I mean, they looked like they were good looking gents. They were tall, that's for sure! Me and Auntie May were still enjoying our lunch when Auntie May decided to make me choke on mine "I think I'm gonna call them over once they get closer and introduce ya"

"Auntie! Why?!" I asked quietly.

"Because! You need a man, you're going to eggspire before you get yerself a man!"

"Auntie, please tell me you didn't just say eggspire" I laughed before taking a bite of my pasty.

"Oh you wait and see, Sugar!"

"Bu-"

"No use fightin' it now! No buts either Missy" Auntie May said cutting me off. They must've gotten closer because Auntie called them over "Oh! Constable Reynolds! Constable Constable! How are you on this fine day?"

Once they approached the table I got to see just how tall they really were. They both had masks, and each had blue eyes. The one a baby blue, and the other a light blue, but darker than the others. "Quite alright Mrs. O'Donohue! How are you two lovely ladies doing this morning?" one said.

"Well that's good to hear! Have you met my niece Alexandretta?! She came over from the States, isn't she just darling?"

"Alexandretta?" one said holding out his hand to me, which I assumed he was going for a handshake. Nope. He took my hand and kissed the top of it before adding, "Quite the beautiful name for a beautiful lady, I'm Constable Jack Constable. It's a great pleasure meeting you Miss".

I felt my face get hot, my face was probably red as a tomato. I built up my words and used them. Kind of. At least I was able to smile through my social awkwardness. "W-why...uh..it-it's a pleasure meeting you..uh..too Constable Constable". I'll say, from what I can tell I think the lot of them are both rather handsome. Granted they're both wearing masks, I can't help but trusting my gut. Or maybe it's something deeper, and further down. Like my heart. (Made you think about that one). The other one, I'd guess is Constable Reynolds, was about to say something before we all heard a woman yell "DOWNER!!!" from the other street

"Sorry ladies, duty calls!" Constable Reynolds said before the two of them took off running to the other street. Well that was something.

After lunch we decided to head back home and start dinner for when Uncle Tom got home from work. Fun stuff you know? The baking pies part was fun though, if there's one thing I enjoy most it has to be hands down baking. Auntie May made four pies: two apple and two peach pies from some fruit I brought as a gift. I made four pies as well: two cherry and two blueberry. Auntie said to make double of what we're making to take the double's somewhere tomorrow because it'll Tuesday. Not sure what for but I was more than happy to spend the time in the kitchen with her. Both of us learning different techniques and tips from each other until dinner was done and Uncle Tom got home from work. Only after dessert was had and the extra pies covered for delivery tomorrow did we decide to go to bed, ending the day.

Aunthors Note: If you've made it this far, a jolly old review if you like this so far it'd make a Wellie like me happy :)

Also, I'm going to open for requests for one-shots for We Happy Few! I'm going to be posting possibly a few today and would like to give y'all some snazzy ol' one-shots!
