The Doors closed behind him, placing him silently in the entrance of the Othermart. He held up the list again, reading over the second step. It asked for Candy. Just candy. It seemed to specify Taffy in particular. Sunny wasn't going to question the order. It was a simple task, just demanding he bought the candy before the middle of the day. He even had $70 dollars to spare too! Things were finally looking up for him, even if this was hardly an inconvenience to begin with. Enough of dwelling in his thoughts. He shook his head off and walked past the check-out isles, placing himself within the center of the isles. It felt... smaller than he remembers. Probably because he's 4 years older since then.

Sunny panned his head around, observing the interior of the Mart to grasp where he was and where he should go next. Ahead of him, there were additional stands to buy stuff from. Like the Fish he remembers buying for a Pet Cat, Hamburger meat for Kel's Parents and... bread. He wouldn't forget that odd family with the fixation on baking bread. They made the best bread in Faraway Town, apparently having been doing this in this exact place for generations. He heard once they were immigrants, but from where, they never specified. No one ever pried on it, because hardly anyone cared for their origins. To Faraway Town, they were just your average Christian family who owned a Bakery.

To the far left was a small Pharmacy, to which he knew absolutely little about. Only his parents would go there, to get whatever they needed. Sunny did recall hearing from an Asian girl that her father worked there. But it was very unlikely he would be going in there anytime soon... unless he doesn't get this list finished on time! To the far right was a very colorful Hallway, with a sign basically spelling it out that was the Candy store. Taking a few steps in that direction, memories of the Store owner suddenly resurfaced in his mind... unpleasant memories. It's owner was known to be incredibly short tempered, and had this bizarre tendency to end every sentence with the word 'smiley' two times.

Like his friends, that's all he really knew about her. Most people were too afraid of her to ask too many questions, out of fear of potentially offending her. Sunny knew he'd have to overcome this fear today, thankfully being an incredibly minor fear in comparison to... other things he's afraid of. Taking a deep breath, he made the first steps towards the Candy store. Intentionally taking slow steps. Pushing the door opened, he was practically flashbanged by bright pink colors. The walls were painted Pink and White, creating Hearts all over them with perfect consistency. The isles were... exactly what he expected. Lined with various candies, many of which he didn't recognize by heart. You had to give SOME credit to the Owner, she was a candy connoisseur.

Taking a few steps in, a girl standing in front of the Counter immediately took notice of Sunny entering and went ahead to greet him. "Welcome! We hope our CANDY makes you smile!" Curtsey said with a surprisingly cheery attitude, only to be interrupted at the sound of Miss Candace slamming her hands against the Counter. "For the last time, Curtsey! it's smiley! S M I L E Y!" Candace exclaimed with an intimidating voice, striking fear into Candace and even Sunny; Who instinctively recoiled away from the Counter. "Y-y-y-y-yes, ma'am!" Curtsey stuttered out, hardly regaining her composure as she visibly shook. Sunny wasn't the best at handling situations these, and so he didn't get involved. Taking a few steps towards the Counter, Miss Candace immediately poked her head up.

"Hi-hi! It's me! The happy and cherry Miss Candice! What would you like today? Smiley, smiley!" Miss Candace asked, proving the fact that she ends her speeches with the words smiley. Sunny really couldn't stand her personality and voice, so he'd make this quick. "Taffy." Sunny asked, although he had no idea where the Taffy was stored here. It wouldn't be an issue anyways. "Taffy! Now that's an uncommon choice! Only some people order taffy... those Shoplifting kids Kim and Vance! Smiley Smiley!" Miss Candace went on a personal vent about dealing with those two members of the Hooligans, before walking off to retrieve the Candy. Curtsey remained idly standing there.

Sunny sighed, just happy to get some kind of relief from listening to her voice. His eyes remained closed, allowing himself this brief moment of peace. It didn't last very long, as two others attempted to quietly enter the Candy Store, only to jolt back at Sunny just standing at the Counter. "Ah! Oh- it's just Aubrey's friend again. Well... I knew you were gonna be here! I even saw the Pizza outside! But that's not why we're here... we couldn't wait for the Candy, and decided to just sneak some from here before noon." Kim confessed, placing an awful lot of confidence in Sunny to not snitch on them. "Yeah... we haven't had any Candy in a week... that's why it's on the list." Vance continues, making this whole task just a bit clearer.

Sunny withheld any comments, turning his glance towards Curtsey. Her eyes perked up at this, briefly tripped over her words. "Now I don't condone shoplifting... but Miss Candace is pretty deserving of it. I'll keep her busy." Curtsey said before walking into the storage. Kim and Vance immediately bolted to one of the Isles, shoving Candy into their pockets. Sunny... just kinda stood there, glancing between the storage room and the sibling's direction. They were out of the Candy store in a minute, even having the extra time to adjust the placement of the Candy as a means of averting suspicions. Just then, Miss Candace returned from the storage room, lifting an open box of Candy. "I don't need any help lifting these boxes! You should be watching the counter! Smiley smiley!" Miss Candace commented before dropping the Box onto the counter.

She'd take a bag and dump the Taffy into it, managing not to drop even a single piece of it despise using a Plastic Scooper to do so. When she was done, the box was pushed aside with the bag of Taffy resting on the counter. "That'll be $20! Smiley smiley!" Miss Candace loomed over the Counter, taking the money that Sunny handed over. He'd take the bag and walk away without a second word. But, he did stop to face Curtsey, waving her goodbye before leaving the Othermart. He glanced around the Othermart to see if Kim and Vance were hanging around. No one. Understandable. Sunny took a few more steps away from the Candy store, just to be comfortably away from it. He held up the list again.

Thankfully, this was the last step... yet it appeared to be the most confusing. Flowers. It simply wanted Flowers. It wasn't anything difficult or complex... just kind of odd, especially with who they're dealing with here. He shrugged off these thoughts and left the Othermart. His next objective was to actually find a place that sells Flowers like that. He approached the edge of the sidewalk and turned around, putting the entire Faraway Plaza in clear view. He just left Othermart and Gino's Pizza. Hobbeez would never have something like Flowers with what's sold there. That left Fix-it, the only store in Faraway Plaza he's never stepped foot in. With the Bag in hand, he approached the Hardware store and pushed open the Door.

It looked... exactly what Sunny expected a Hardware store to look like. Very white and grey, yet respectfully direct with what you should expect from this place. Each isle had a sigh that told you exactly what it had to offer, and each section contained one product, but a somewhat colorful variety of that thing... most of the time. However, upon closer inspection, these signs almost felt like false advertising. All the Tools were randomly stacked across 5 different isles, with no consistency in the slightest. If Sunny was younger, this would've drove him crazy. Thankfully, he's older and it was now only a slight annoyance. The man behind the counter had been asleep, prompting Sunny to knock on the counter to awake him.

"Eh-? What- oh... hey there, kid. What brings you here?" Mando asked, still in the process of waking up. He barely processed the boy's presence. "Flowers." Sunny asked plainly, going on a limb and assuming this might be the place to find some. "Ah- Flowers? Luckily for you, that's exactly what we have here! In fact, there's an entire storage room further down that contains everything for your gardener needs! But... only one person really uses it." Mando briefly trailed on, referencing Basil specifically. Sunny knew this well, choosing not to comment on it. "Oh- your Flowers. Did you want a specific kind of Flower to take care of? Or just a bouquet of Flowers to give someone?" Mando asked, remaining behind the Counter just in case they gave a specific answer.

"Bouquet." Sunny asked, prompting Mando to briefly turn away and reach to the Shelves. Laying in a vase was a Bouquet, already prepared with Healthy Flowers. Suggesting he gathered them recently. "That'll be $2." Mando asked. Sunny's face seemed to gasp, a little surprised at how cheap they were. He handed him $2, receiving the Flowers. Without another word, Sunny stepped out the store rather quickly. Mando didn't even get to finish what he was saying before he left. The list was complete. All that remained to wait out the inevitable. Upon leaving Fix-it, he spotted out of the corner of his eye what appeared to be a Blue Bike riding away. He wasn't completely sure though. It didn't matter now.

Sunny approached Michael once again, extending $10 towards him to both catch his attention and offer additional payment for watching the Pizza. He leaned up, the Guitar still in hand as he took the $10. "Thank you! Now I finally have enough to afford a Bus out of Faraway Town! I'd thank you with an original song... but you appear to be busy." Michael spoke with an awkward laugh, placing the money into the box and sitting back down again. "But I can say the pizza is still hot! Since it is pretty hot today." Michael gestures towards the Pizza that still laid in front of him. It remained untouched, even from Michael. Sunny only nodded in acknowledgement, lowering down to place the Taffy and Flowers on the Box. Taking it in his arms, he walked away to reach his last destination.

Faraway Park. He just had the SLIGHTEST feeling this was where the Hooligans would be. Entering the Park, he took notice of two Tables within the Park. One was more in the open and closer to the fence. The other was more hidden behind the Trees, at the corner of an open spot. It seemed like the perfect place for a group like them, and so he carried the Pizza over to the distant Table. Laying the Box on the Table, with the Candy and Flowers on opposite sides; All Sunny had to do from there was wait... and wait. He felt his eyes begin to close, with his head dropping down. The Dream World was calling to him again, so far away from the comfort of a Bed. He couldn't resist, wanting any semblance of retreating back into his escape from reality. Sunny's head laid against the Table, his eyes closed soon afterwards; Falling asleep surprisingly quick.
