It was yet another lovely day brought to you by Pepa's bright mood with the whole family once again starting off their own tasks within the village. And what could be a better start to help out Isabela? Nothing that would worth much more by the time spent with her. And so, you went on your way towards where she currently is after almost an hour of searching for her throughout the village where you were soon guided by Dolores afterwards. Taking a minute to relax yourself from such energy being exerted through your search, you had soon made your arrival to a normal sized house where it was not yet being decorated by Isabela's signature flowers.
Hiding behind a pillar, you decided to take her by surprise before observing her from afar for now as she's still talking with who seems to be the owner of the house. After a minute of finishing up their conversation, the owner soon left with an expectant smile before having a chat with a friend a distance away from the abode. Isabela begins her task, letting a vine grow from pillar to pillar as another helps carry some paint buckets where the owner had wanted for her to get creative when it comes to repainting of the outside walls of the house. It caused a good chance of the surprise to rise as you understood her activity once she made a progress of it.
Slowly sneaking up behind her while being careful not to cause any noise or bump into something, you finally reached the location behind her as you forced yourself not to laugh. Stifling a sound that you were about to release caused by excitement, you then placed both hands on her shoulders. It was such a surprise indeed that caused her to almost slip the paint onto herself, but mainly in front of her. Not only does the paint itself colorfully splashed along the walls, but it was also being added on by the small puffs of colored powder of some sort from the plants that suddenly bloomed that are still careful enough to not hit either of you two.
Remaining to be unaware with the mess when the sound it make had been covered by your own, your energetic greeting is met by silence that left you curious with it. Getting confused with the absence of her response, you stand beside her before giving her a cautious glance, reflecting her worry in return. Isabela, either unaware or not with your presence, has her focus on the splattered paint. Getting concerned with the silent treatment and with her becoming a statue with mouth subtly agape and widened eyes, you gently put a hand on her forearm. You soon understood what she's currently feeling based on her changed pace of breathing to a quite quicker one, revealing her nervousness as you solemnly looked at the source of her concern.
Taking the bucket of paint away from her slightly trembling hands, your apology was interrupted by a familiar voice of the house's owner that was surprisingly filled with glee and awe. "That is such a wonderful design! Don't forget the rooftop! I'll leave you two to continue it and you have my thanks in advance!"

Taking the handle of the paint bucket with your other hand, you wave a not so equally energetic goodbye to the owner, who soon once again makes a leave while expressing his excitement. His retreat had been accompanied with the worry and nervousness both you and Isabela felt earlier upon anticipating the negative reaction he might express once he sees the mess. It would seem like the both of you worried too much before finally having your gaze be met with Isabela when she finally recovered from her frozen state. For the second time, your apology was disrupted when Isabela suddenly engulfs you with a hug and even seemed to release a sigh of relief.
Returning her hug with one arm as the other was still occupied after it had managed to let the paint be out of the way of it, you then voiced out your observation and realization. "You were worried and nervous about it! I'm so sorry for making you feel that way. It really wasn't my intention and I just wanted to surprise you."
Sincerity was both present on your tone and actions, regretting what you had started despite the good result it still had managed to reach to. Isabela's acceptance of the situation is more important at the moment rather than the owner's reaction to it, and upon receiving her own positivity, you are also left relieved. Isabela soon releases herself from the embrace, letting a flower crown be produced on the palm of her hand before she then places it on your head. She places a hand on your cheek, gently cupping it as she admiringly gazed at you with a smile, making you relieved and happy that she seemed to be back to having a good mood.
Gently pinching your cheek as a means to express her adoration as well as to relieve herself from the mild distress, she softly laughed as you tried to carefully pry her hand off before she soon reveals. "I'm glad and relieved that it was fine in the end. Y/N, I really was surprised, but don't do that kind of surprise again."
You only returned a peace sign with her reminder while promising to never do it again in the near future, though the mischievous countenance you unconsciously present only caused her to raise a brow before placing a fist on her hip that attaches some colorful liquid on her dress. She jokingly glared at you while doing so, still expressing the seriousness of her statement while stifling a chuckle caused by the small paint that had already been present on your features caused by her prior action. Noticing her focused gaze on your feature caused you to try and wipe away any source of it that only resulted in the paint to cover more as Isabela grinned in return.
You nod in understanding while ignoring the amusement she expresses while concluding that it's got to do with your face, returning the smile that returned on her own before you gestured to a part of the wall behind her while informing her about it. "You still need a bit of color there."
She follows where you gestured for her to look at, witnessing the bland state of the portion of the wall just as you commented and seeing as there is much time to spare and colors to use for it, Isabela thinks of an idea. Motioning an agreement of hers, she proceeded to lead the way towards the said area with some plants blooming beside her that guided the two of you as well with a vine even lifting up the paint bucket away from your grip while maintaining the right distance beside you. Her grip of your unoccupied palm is gentle and secure as she dragged you along with her as you felt her excitement to start the activity radiating from her actions.
With the quick trip, the two of you arrived not a moment later as you noticed that the two of you acquired a few audience that left you to be subtly nervous. Facing you once again, she gestures to the wall beside her with her gaze before making a request of coloring it with you. With a determined nod, you stated your agreement before raising your paint bucket a little after you resumed with carrying it by yourself while giving your thanks on the plant that supported it during the travel. Thanking her of the brush that she gave after letting a vine take it, you let the said material be dipped within the bucket to let the liquid of color accumulate at the end of it.
