1 A/N : Same drill as before
A Visitor
On the eve of December 30 Izzy arrived back at the Pettibone house in Avonlea. She was excited about going to the New Year's Eve party at the Whitesands. She had a new, forest green dress that brought out the colour in her face and eyes. With the way she looked now her dress would compliment her perfectly. After her talk with Arthur her face brightened up, it was still pale but was an improvement from what she was before. Her hair was brushed and put up into a new style.
She unpacked a couple of her things and went to bed. She was planning on picking up the key for the store from Cecily early the next morning and she needed her sleep. Maybe she would even stop to see Tom. She crawled into bed and as soon as her head touched her pillow she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Early the next morning came a knock at King Farm. "Come on Cecily," thought Izzy. "It's freezing out here."
The door opened and the head of Daniel King popped out. "Hello Izzy."
"Good morning Daniel, is Cecily up?"
"Yes, she's in the kitchen-CECILY!!!!" Daniel yelled.
"Daniel, you don't have to yell, people are still sleeping. Izzy! Hello!" Cecily said between scolding her little brother. "Daniel why didn't you ask her in? Get in here now Miss Pettibone; it's too cold out there. Would you like some tea?"
"Well I have to make this quick, I'm here for the key, but tea would be nice."
"Alright, wait in the kitchen and I'll bring down the key."
Izzy walked to the kitchen and Cecily hurried up to her room. Cecily took the key off the tiny table in her room and slipped it into her pocket. She was going back down the stairs when she had an idea. She retreated to Felix's room where she found him sleeping soundly. She poked him in the ribs but all he did was twist a little. She tried a better approach; she poked one of his eyelids.
"What do you want?" he growled as he hid his face.
"You should come down to the kitchen, eat your breakfast and meet someone," she said.
"I'll see them later, I need my beauty sleep."
Cecily gave up and left the room. She fixed Izzy some tea and gave her the key to the store. She was just about to tell Izzy about Felix being home when she stopped. It could be a surprise for later. The friends chatted for a couple of minutes when Izzy had to go.
"I'll see you at the store later Iz."
"Alright, good-bye," said Izzy as she let for the store.
When Felix finally got up it was around ten in the morning. Realising the time he got dressed and headed to the kitchen for something to eat. He ate a bit then headed out to the barn when he bumped into Cecily. He asked, " Who was the visitor you wanted me to see this morning?"
"Oh, her," said Cecily knowing how to get his attention. " You would know her as Izzy Pettibone. She's been rather worried over you."
"Izzy was here? She's been worried?"
"Yes, when you went MIA she went numb, she was so scared. She seemed happier today but her eyes still didn't have the twinkles in them. She doesn't know you're back yet and neither does Avonlea, though you have been here for days. I say it's about time you make an appearance Felix."
"Well, will you come with me if I go to the General Store?"
"Of course, now hurry up and let's go!"
