Bryant's move :)

"Whew." Bryant says as he plops down on his bed. He has spent all day moving into his new home at 303 Chestnut Hill Road.
Unpacking box, after box, after Box, (etc.) he hasn't noticed how tired he is until now. Every muscle screams with searing hot pain and he realizes this is his best workout since the night he went egging with his friends and chased by old man Theodore. He laughs hysterically at the slight mention of it, yet he knows deep inside it was one of the few nights She spent with him and treasures it immensely. He takes Her picture from under his bed and looks at it wistfully. Yes, they had developed quite an attraction before the night of the accident that left him with the huge scar down his side and her Comatose. She has been that way for 2 1/2 years now, showing no signs of waking up.
He always has affectionately called her Willowby, for he first saw her among the willows. "What do you think, Willowby, did I make the right choice? Or do I need to be closer to you?" he pauses for a moment, like he is listening to something. "Maybe. there is no way to be sure If you'll ever speak to me again."
And with that, he gets up and starts unpacking again.

Bryant sighs. Hes working as had as he can, but its becoming harder and harder to pay rent. He could buy the house, but that would take 100,000$ , everything he had.
"What should I do? Now that I'm having a permanent resident coming in a few days, its gonna be even harder to buy toiletries... and food. Maybe I should ask Elisha to buy her own stuff... No. It would make her mad."

Then... one day...

Going through attic junk, or the stuff that the previous owners have left behind, Bryant comes upon this one box that has lots of stuff in it. Upon opening the box, Bryant finds a tea set, glossy, pretty, and ANTIQUE! "Maybe I could sell this stuff and get a profit out of it. " he thinks. he sets the tea set aside and continues going through boxes.
After a little while, he has the whole thing cleared out. He takes the box and goes downstairs. as he is looking at the tea set again, he notices a small teddy bear at the bottom of the box. He takes it out and puts it aside, saying, "Worthless junk. but maybe I can get a profit out of it, too. I know lots of people who collect teddy bears."
So he takes the tea set and the teddy bear to the next Antiques Roadshow stop.
He goes up to the man specializing in china and shows him what he has.
"Hmm... 18th' century china.. Made by American Chinaware.. pretty common. I would value it at around 600$." Bryant is disappointed. He expected much more. Oh well. Now for the teddy bear, so to the stuffed animals department.
he shows it to the appraiser, and the woman's eyes widen.
"Sir, You have no Idea what exactly you have. This is a very rare teddy bear,one of the first made by Schleich. There is only one specimen I know of, and it was all torn up when I saw it. This one is in perfect condition. I'd say it's worth about 300,000$! I'm a teddy bear collector, and I would be glad to purchase it from you right now for that just that much."
Bryant says, "Done deal."
She gives him the money, and he hands over the bear.

Bryant gets back to his house, literally dancing. Now he has enough to buy the house, remodel, and fix up the stables to accommodate another horse!

WAHOO!!!

Bryant McCesar paces the nice, clean living room of 303 Chestnut Hill Avenue as he waits for his new permanent resident to arrive.
"I hope Willowby finds this pleasant," Bryant thinks, "or else she won't want to live in the same house with me!" He checks over everything again. is Her bedroom clean? Yes. Is the living room spotless? oh no.. wait.. Bryant runs into the utility closet, grabs the Pledge and a rag, and wipes down the spot on the table. Satisfied, Bryant puts away the cleaning stuff and takes his position at the front window again, and he is just in time as a yellow Taxi pulls into the driveway. A girl with long, black hair steps out, opens the trunk, and pulls out her luggage. It is too heavy for her to carry, so Bryant rushes out to help.
"Hi Willowby," he calls out. "Do you need help?"
"Sure do!" Willowby smiles back.
They both help each other lug in the suitcases, and Willowby gasps as they enter the main room. "Bryant, This house is amazing!"
"Newly remodeled, but this is just a piece of the pie. I want to show you your room now." Bryant covers up her eyes with a Bandanna and takes her up the stairs to the bedroom. He opens the door to the room and says, "Take off the cloth."
"WOW!" Willowby's eyes grow even bigger. Then she sees what's in the frames hung all around the room. "Bryant... You saved the horse posters we bought at the equine bazaar the May before the accident?!?"
"Yep. Had them professionally framed, too."
"And the color! My favorite- green! Bri, You sure know me!!!"
They envelop each other in a hug and Willowby whispers " Thank you Bri..."
"You're welcome." Bryant whispers back, and Willowby goes back downstairs to get her suitcase.
"I'm officially moved in to 303 Chestnut Hill Road now," Willowby says as she descends the grand staircase. "Look out, world."
