" Thanks again Neighbor.. you really are the most. " The rather mellow puppet in front of you, Wally, had spoken. His lazy, yet ever so 'sweet' smile broadening slightly as you had handed him the sketchbook he had asked you to fetch him not to long ago.

Your neighbor, Wally, had been under the wheather for quite a few weeks now. It had started off as a few sneezes and a cough or two, before turning into full on vomiting and dizziness every time he stood uo from to long. It was strange, for a such a vibrant and color puppet as he, he was now pretty much just a husk. However, during his sickness, he had one, oddly, specific request. He wanted You to be the one taking care of him.

Sure, you two were obviously very close, but most had figured that he would've wanted Barnaby. Nevertheless, you were fast to head over. After all, what kind of friend would you be if you neglected the needs of a sick neighbor? Though, while you were happy to take care if your friend, you woukd notice some.. less then normal habits he had started. Every time he saw you, his pupils would almost dilated to a size some woukd consider abnormal, and not to mention the obvious irritation he would get when you even uttered a word about the other neighbors.

It was strange. He had never acted like such before, so.. why had he now?
