**DISCLAIMER** I do not own Animal Crossing; all the characters belong to Nintendo.
Chapters are either going to be very short or very long, depending on how much time I have to write them. It's rated M for a reason, but this chapter is very clean. Just wait until later ones, and the fun starts.
The rain was very tough; they fell like enormous drops, gleaming from the taxi driver's headlights on his tan rusted car. All my bags were neatly packed next to me for the beginning of this night trip to my new home. Now almost to the town, they are flying all over the place in the back seat. I cringed and leaned a little more into my seat to shield myself from all the crazy luggage. My body shivered too, today was a very cold, damp night.
The green kappa turtle in the front noticed my discomfort from his mirror. "Ya know lassie, if yer cold an' want me to turn the temp up, just tell me. No need to be shyn' away from help."
"Why thank you for the off-" my hand swatted away another package "-er, but can you slow down a bit? I mean, I know you're trying to get to Town Hall quickly because of this nor'easter and all but it's like a battlefield back here." The driver chuckled and smiled.
"Oh! If that was all ya wanted, why didn't ya just say so?" And so he did, thankfully. I breathed in deeply, about to thank him until he asked about my reason for coming here.
"Well, a few of my friends already live there, and they all said it was nice. I figured if it's a pleasant place, it sure as hell beats the loud city." I answered. He nodded understanding where I was coming from.
"I'm living there now lass and ya know it ain't all it's cracked up to be. Trust me, um, sorry but I don't know yer name little lady."
"Oh it's Valentina. " I quickly filled his curiosity.
"That's a nice name ya got ther', pure an' true. Out of all them city folks out there, yer the sweetest I've met." He commented. It made me blush a little; it was quite a kind compliment. I am definitely gonna tip him more than 8% percent.
"Aw, thank you. Out of all the taxi cab drivers I've met, and trust me I have met A TON, you are the best one," I smiled at him, "Hey is that the town over there?" I asked as my eyes stared at the little dainty Town Hall sign.
"Yep! Seems like yer trip is over now. Nice seeing ya Valentina."
"You too, um, sorry I never got your name." I practically stumbled over my words.
"It's Kappn', and don't worry yer be seeing meh'whereabouts around here every now an' then."
"Thanks for the drive," I handed him the money, and the extra 20,"You deserve it."
I grabbed my three suitcases and two of my small bags. The rain even let out when I walked outside, revealing the bright stars covered by the clouds moments ago.
"I might like it here…" I muttered along to myself, passing the rock paved way to the wooden building.
