You loved winter. The fresh snow, the hot cocoa and the best thing of all... Homewarming! Everyone knew you loved to bake, often helping Poppy in the kitchen, though you never made apple pie since Wally wouldn't like that. Instead you prepared an assortment of baked goods for everyone else and bought some fresh apples specifically for Wally.

You packed everything up into a basket, putting on your beanie, scarf, and gloves before checking the time. "Holy smokes!" You were late! You quickly threw on your shoes and ran out the door, needing to get to Wally's Home before you were too delayed.

You stumbled as you ran to his Home, which wasn't far away - practically directly across from yours. You arrived to find you weren't the only one late. Barnaby showed up right behind you. "Hi guys!" You said cheerfully, placing your basket on the table with the rest of the food. "Hi neighbor!" A familiar monotone voice said from behind you. You turned around and smiled - it was your best friend, Wally!
