He was running under the rain.
He was running because he was late.
He was running because he forgot, again.
He was running to a school.
He was running to a little girl, holding an umbrella in one hand and a flower in the other.
He was running to a little girl, wearing the forest green school uniform and her schoolbag on her back.
A little girl with orange skin, red cheeks, a round face, a red bobbed hairstyle with a clover-shaped lock on top, a small pyramid-shaped nose, and big black eyes that cross his.
When she turns to him, she gives him a gentle smile.
“You forgot about me again?” she asked with a chuckle.
“I’m-”
“It’s okay” she cuts him off, holding the flower to him “I already forgave you.”
He looks down at the purple to blue shades flower before taking it with a smile.
“You made one again, huh?”
“Because I know when it is your turn to pick me up, you would be late because you forgot. And when you do, you always feel bad when you realize it. So I make a ‘Forgiven-you-are’ flower so you stop feeling bad.”
“You also do it because you know I like this flower.”
“That too.”
The teenage man and the little girl giggle. He puts the flower in his chest pocket before reaching out the girl’s hand.
“Come on sis’, let’s go home before we catch a cold.”
–
It’s cold in the bed.
Frank grumpily open his eyes to see why his source of heat wasn’t there.
Oh.
Eddie is not in the bed.
That’s weird, the sun is not up yet. Why is he already out of the bed?
They get up to take their nightgown before putting it on to look for their husband. When he opens the bedroom door, he hears the faint cries of the redhead downstairs. Following the sound, he stops midway down the stairs at the sight of the taller man in his own nightshirt sitting on the couch, crying in his hands.
“Eddie?”
The redhead stops his cries at their voice, but doesn’t look up. Frank goes down the rest of the stairs and sits beside him.
“What’s wrong, dear?”
“I-”
He sobbed before looking up at his spouse with big tears falling from his eyes.
“I have a sister, Frank.”
It took a few seconds for Frank to register what they had just heard. “...What?”
“I have a sister, and I forgot about her!” cries Eddie.” I forgot I had a sister! The sweetest sister in the world!”
“Hey hey hey! Slow down,” says Frank, taking Eddie's hand in his. “Where does that come from?”
“I-I had a dream- a memory. I was late to pick her up from school and- she forgave me. She gave me a ‘Forgiven-you-are’ and-”
“I’m sorry, a what?”
“A ‘Forgiven-you- Oh right. Nobody else knows what it is. It’s like a giant, single, purple Forget-me-not’s flower with dark blue hues at the end of the petals. They were my favorite.” he ends with a sad smile.
“I never heard or read about such a flower...”
“They were her creations, so I’m not surprised...”
“… What else do you remember about her?”
“She looked like me, but smaller and veeeeeeeery thin. She looked like a flower herself, especially with her lock. It looked like a clover. She was very sweet and forgiving… And shy, too… Oh, Frank, what would she think of me if she knows I forgot about her?”
“Well… From what you just told me, she is a forgiving person. I mean, she made you a flower specifically for this when you forget her at school, so why wouldn’t she forgives you now?”
“There is a difference between forgetting someone for a few hours and forgetting for years!!”
“Now now, let’s calm down. Say, why don’t we go back to sleep so we can talk about it with a fresh mind in the morning, okay?”
Eddie looks at his partner before nodding.
A few days later…
There is a new house next to them, between their house and Barnaby's.
A green house, with a red roof, surrounded by bushes and fruit trees, with what seems to be a garden behind it.
The two lovers are on their porches looking at each other before looking back at the house.
“We have new neighbors.” says Frank.
“Yep.” answered Eddie.
“… We have to present ourselves, don’t we?”
“Well, that’s the polite thing to do.”
“Right.”
The couple goes to the yellow door with blue flowers painted on it. Eddie gently knocks at the door and then waits.
Nothing.
“Maybe they’re already out?” says Frank.
“Possible. I’ll go to the post office.”
“Alright.” They give a kiss on his cheek “I’ll go catch some butterfly. See you later.”
“Hehe. Later, love.”
Eddies walks to the post office, while Frank goes back to their house. Once he arrives, he checks the mail he has to deliver. He doesn’t find any new name. The new neighbor didn’t get anything yet. He decides to go do his usual round. The moment he takes his first turn out, he stops at the sight.
A few meters away from him was Wally, holding a rainbow flower basket, talking to a slim person a few inches taller than him. They were wearing red shoes, light sky blue pants, a white shirt with what seemed to be a rainbow apron tie to their body, red gloves matching the red scarf on their neck and a yellow hat with a ribbon matching their pant on their red bobbed hair. Their skin was an orange color, and when they turned their round head to talk to Wally, Eddy could see a big black eye and a small pyramid-shaped nose.
Tears fall from his eyes and he runs in their direction, letting his hat fall on the ground, not realizing he was screaming.
“FLOWEY!!!”
The person turns to Eddie before being tackled in a hug, resulting in the two falling to the ground, then rolling down to the bottom of the hill. When they stop, Eddie was on top of them, so he lift himself up to look at them. Their hat was gone, letting a clover-shaped lock be seen.
He was right.
It was her.
“Flowey! It’s you! It’s really you!!”
The young lady looks at the postman in shock for a few seconds before her eyes wide.
“Eddie?”
Eddie vigorously nods, and the girl, Flowey, open her mouth with a giant smile and stars in her eyes. She catches him in a hug. “EDDIE!!! Oh I am so happy to see you!! I missed you so much!”
Eddie returns the hug with a big grin, lifting his sister up to a sitting position.
“What are you doing here?”
“Well, I guess I just moved here! I woke up this morning and my house just got there. What are YOU doing here? Is it where you’ve been hiding this whole time?”
“Well-”
“Eddie! Miss Flora! Are you alright down there?”
The two siblings look up at Wally, who was now with the rest of the neighborhood looking at them. Eddie looks back at his sister before lifting her up.
“Come on sis, let’s go meet the neighbors.”
The little woman looks at the group a little worried before nodding, and they both go to the top of the hill.
“Are you both okay?”
“We’re fine, thank you, Poppy.”
“Eddie, that lady… Is she?” asked Frank.
Eddie nods before putting a hand on Flowey’s small shoulder.
“Everyone, this is Flowey, my little sister.”
“SISTER ?!!” scream everyone but Frank and Wally.
“I did see the resemblance between the two.” says Wally, holding the basket and both hats to Flowey who takes it and gives her brother's hat back.
“Eddie, you never told us you had a sister.” says Sally.
“Well-”
“Why didn’t you told us you had a sister?” ask Julie.
“How can I say-”
“What? You forgot about her too or something?” jokes Barnaby.
Eddie stays quiet, crumpling his hat, trying to flee everyone's stares.
“… You did forget about her.” states Howdy.
Everyone stays quiet. Eddie starts to feel uncomfortable.
“You forgot about me again, huh?”
“Flowey I’m-”
He turns back to his sister, only to be stopped by the sigh of a bouquet of purple to blue shades flowers looking like a giant Forget-me-not.
Forgiven-you-are flowers.
“It’s okay,” says Flowey with a smile. “I’ve already forgiven you.”
The postman looks back and forth at the lady, then at the bouquet, before taking it and hugging his sister once again under the awws of the neighbors.
“Plus, you didn’t totally forget me, did you?”
“Huh?”
Eddie backs away from Flowey, who points her hand to Frank.
“You must have told this gentleman about me for him to guess who I was the moment he saw me.”
“Please do not use masculine terms when talking about me in the future, miss. Although I am alright with he/they pronouns.”
“Oh! My apologies, hem...”
“Frank,” he answers handing his hand for her to shake. “Frank Frankly-Dear. I am your brother’s spouse.”
“My brother- Eddie you’re married?!” exclaim the red-hair girl with again stars in her eyes.
“Yeah, we got married last year.” answer the brother, scratching behind his neck.
“We did talk a lot about you since he started to remember about you a few days ago.” says Frank.
“I am Julie Joyful!” says the rainbow monster, pushing Frank to the side with a “Hey!” from the latter. “I’m Frank’s best friend!”
“Poppy Partridge. Come to see me if you’re hurt.”
“I am Howdy Pillard. I’m the shopkeeper. Prepare your best jokes for payment.”
“If you’re out of jokes, you can ask me! I am Barnaby B. Beagle. Welcome to the Big City!”
“I am Sally Starlet! Come see one of my shows one day!”
“I already presented myself, but I’ll do it again. I am Wally Darling. A pleasure to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you all! Huh, I am Flowey Flora. Come to see me if you need help with your garden.”
“Flora?” ask Eddie “You took our aunt's last name?”
“It’s... A long story. Let’s talk about it later.”
Seeing how uncomfortable his sister’s smile was, Eddie just nods.
“In all cases," says Wally “Welcome Home, Miss Flora!”
“Welcome Home !”
