Welcome Home Age Regression sfw :) [Requests Open]

9: Snow day!

Howdy snickered, "For someone who's a 7-foot-5-inch-tall cat, he sure acts like a snow-puppy who's maxed out on treats with how he's rollin' all around."

"I know, he's so sweet, isn't he?" Poppy rhetorically asked as Samuel rolled over to her.

"Mama! Mama!" Samuel got Poppy's attention, "Wanna help Juwie and Sawwy wiff der snowman?"
(Translation: "Wanna help Julie and Sally with their snowman?")

"Oh, of course, dearie. Go ask them first though," Poppy replied as she patted Samuel's head. Howdy laughed to himself as Samuel quickly rolled away, yelling "WEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee...." as he got further away from them.

Howdy snickered and held back his urge to cackle at Samuel's actions.

"He's quite the little Angel. I'm happy he likes going to me when he feels younger," Poppy explained.

"Yeah, he should. You're like a mother to basically everyone here, except me and Barnaby. I don't know about Home, but maybe," Howdy explained.

"Mhm. Anyways, was there something you wanted, dear?" Poppy asked.

"Oh, no, I was just wantin' to see what everyone was doin'. Speaking of which, I'll go see what type of snowman Sally and Julie are workin' on. Maybe I'll offer them a new tool to help," Howdy replied before walking off the Julie, Sally, and Samuel. Poppy followed after him since Samuel was still with the two.

"Howdy-do fellas! Whatcha doin' over here?" Howdy asked as he approached the three.

"Oh, nothing much. I'm helping Julie make a snowman of Home, and Samuel decided to join," Sally replied as Julie gathered some snow.

"Sam-Sam! Can you hewp me?" Julie asked to Samuel. (Translation: "Samuel! Can you help me?")

Samuel nodded and assisted his friend with building the base for the snow-Home. They made the base for Home, and Sally helped them make the details.

"Oh, that looks wonderful, dearies! But don't forget Home's chimney!" Poppy reminds them.

Samuel nodded happily and took a pile of snow, shaped it into a rectangle, and stuck it on the snow-Home's roof. Sally added a few more details.

Barnaby and Wally then walked over as they heard the commotion.

"Hey! Is that a snowman o' Home?" Barnaby asked.

"Mhm. Sally, Julie, and Samuel are the ones who made it," Poppy replied as Barnaby set Wally down in the ground.

"Hm... Well, it's accurate. That house always felt a bit cold sometimes," Barnaby said.

"That was... not a good joke, Barnaby..." Sally remarked as Wally started at Barnaby with an unreadable expression, due to him constantly smiling and not having eyebrows.

"Well, I tried," Barnaby shrugged.

"I... uhm... My apologies, dearie, but... I didn't really understand the joke. I don't think Wally, Julie, or Samuel did either," Poppy pointed out.

"Oh, how?" Barnaby asked.

"Well, Home's actually pretty warm inside," Poppy explained.

"Oh. No, I meant with its personality. Its cold in a figurative way," Barnaby replied with a slightly annoyed expression.

"That's... not very nice, Barnaby," Poppy replied with mild concern.

Wally nodded in agreement as he then looked back at Home, who seemed a bit sad at Barnaby's joke.

"Oh. Sorry Home, I didn't mean it," Barnaby quickly noticed and apologized. Home looked happier and creaked in response. Wally smiled again as everyone's moods lightened a bit more.

Suddenly, a nearby squeal was heard along with footsteps, then a door slamming, then a heavy sigh. Everyone averted their attention to where the last noise came from, only to see Frank looked annoyed.

"Frank, dear!" Poppy called to them. Frank looked up and nodded before walking over to everyone.

"What was all that ruckus?" Howdy asked.

"I think Eddie felt a random leaf, or something else, on him and assumed it was a bug. He squealed and ran inside," Frank explained as he rolled his eyes.

Howdy stared for a moment in confusion before speaking, "I'm a bug. Why's he scared of bugs again?" he asked.

"He's scared of the ones that aren't humanoid. He's scared of the small ones, basically," Frank replied. Howdy nodded.

"Should I go get him? I think he'd like helping you guys with this snowman," Frank suggested.

"Ooh! Yeah! Get Eddie! Get Eddie! Little Crew! Me, Wally, Sam-Sam, and Eddie! Little crew!" Julie happily exclaimed.

"Okay then. Be right back," Frank said before leaving to grab his husband.

"Little Cwew?" Samuel asked before gasping, "Awe we gonna be a gwoup?" he asked excitedly. Wally stood up and walked over to the snow-Home, smiling.
(Translation: "Little Crew?" "Are we going to be a group?")

"I hope so! Eddie would love it!" Julie happily said.

"Yay!" Samuel cheered as Wally flapped his hands from happiness. Everyone smiled at the Littles being themselves.

Soon enough, Frank returned with Eddie.

"Got him," Frank said as them and Eddie joined the rest of the neighbors.

"Yay! Eddie, you wanna be a part of our new Little Crew?" Julie happily asked.

"Like, a crew for us age regressors?" Eddie asked as he walked over to the Littles.

"Mhm! Mhm! We're making a snow-Home!" Julie happily said.

"Oh, yeah! I'm not Little right now, so give me a moment to get into the mindset," Eddie explained as he smiled as joined them. He sat down next to Wally. Wally leaned on his shoulder and giggled quietly. Eddie began giggling too as he felt himself become mentally smaller.

Soon enough, all of the little neighbors were happily playing in the snow as the others watched over. They made snow versions of the neighbors, snow angels, snow forts, etc. They even had a snowball fight, which Howdy and Sally won, alongside Frank, who decimated Barnaby with pent-up anger towards his usual antics. Barnaby took it lightly and laughed as he threw them back. They all had a wholesome and memorable time!
