A Day In The Life Of...

Pete

A/N: One day on the Wii I was down by the beach of my old town, Risca (I now live in Oz, where these stories will oftenly be set), when I saw Pete the Mail Pelican. I began to talk to him until I got board, and then I wondered something- what did Pete do when I wasn't trying to get him to talk to me constantly? Here's what I decided would happen...

An annoying beeping noise interuppted my peacful sleep, and my dream of quitting my dreary job to go live on an island far away... I blearily opened my eyes, grumbled, 'Shut up' groggily to my alarm clock before turning over to go back to my island. Then my eyes snapped open. I looked back apprehensivley to my alarm clock. Fatingly, the clock read: 8:52 a.m.

"I'M LATE!" I yelled, "HOLY CRAP I'M LATE!" I jumped out of bed, snapping my alarm off. I pulled my green postman's outfit over my head in a hurry, grabbed my satchel, and a quick fish for breakfast before hurrying out of my home. I swung my satchel, empty of mail for now, around my back, while hurridley chewing on my fishey food. My wings snapped into action and I flew hurridley to Oz's Town Hall. "Sorry I'm late Tortimer!" I wheezed as I ran into the building, panting slightly. I don't know why I bothered. Tortimer was asleep behind his desk, as always. I rushed behind the desk to get my letters.

"You're late, Pete." Giggled Pelly from behind her post at the Post Office. I nodded. "Again." I nodded, stuffing some letters into my satchel. "And you're shirts on backwards." I looked down and groaned. Indeed it was.

"Great." I moaned, trying to turn it the right way round. She laughed.

"Here, let me help." She smiled, pulling it around the right way and straightening it.

"Thanks Pelly." I nodded awkwardly, stuffing the last of the letters into my big bag.

"I made you lunch," She giggled, handing my a tuna sandwhich.

"Uh... Thanks." I took it, and hurried out. After all, I was extremly late, and Pelly could get annoying when she was like that. Pelly- she could be such a child, sometimes, not like her sister Phyllis... Ah, Phyllis... The prime example of the perfect female pelican. Too bad she HATES me... I sighed, and promptly made my first delivery, to Peanut. But when I arrived at what I thought was her house, imagine my surprise when her house plate did not say 'Peanut's House', but, instead, 'Phyllis's house'! I must have stumbled on Phyllis's house by mistake! I looked around her garden, she had so many beautiful flowers! Surley she wouldn't mind if I took some of her red roses to give her... I plucked them, and hurridley thought of what to say that she would find romantic... I knocked on her door, before starting to talk.

"Phyllis? I thought I'd bring these for you. You know, you're the smartest bird I've ever met, and the cutest. Your perfume is very exotic, and your fish breath is very attracting..." The door opened and I was smacked on the head by Peanut.

"FISH BREATH?" She screamed at me. "I do NOT have fish breath! Take that back right now, slacker, or I will cut you up to feed you to my new pet piranah, Fluffy!" She began to pull my tuft of fir on my head. Hard.

"Peanut! Peanut let go of my head!" I squealed. "I'm sorry! I thought this was Phyllis's house!"

"And WHY would you think that, slacker? You are so, like, DULL!" She schreeched angrily.

"You're... House plate!" I panted, pushing her off me. She paused and looked at it. Indeed, like I'd thought, it read 'Phyllis's house'. Peanut looked horrified, and positivley furious. I was immediatly scared of her.

"CUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT YOU... BIG MEANIE! I'LL GET YOU!" She shrieked. There was laughter from behind one of the trees surrounding the house. "CURT!" She ran off, and so did I, deciding her delivery could wait until she calmed down. My day continued normaly, though occasionly I had to dash into houses to avoid Peaut and Curt as they argued, pushed each other into pitfalls and beehives, as well as trying to give each other fleas. Fleas was one thing I did NOT need. It continued this way until 4 p.m, when I was walking down by the beach. Then I saw her.

"Oh crap." I hissed, dashing behind a coconut tree.

"Come here, fishies! He he! Whooo! I got a black bass! That couldn't be more bass!" She giggled. "I got a bass! A bass! A black bass!" She turned to go sell it to Tom Nook, and I tried to shrink away from her gaze, but it was too late. Her eyes widened with excitment. "Pete? Is that you? PETE!" She ran to me and tackled me, loosing her black bass in the process.

"Meggie... Meggie... Meggie, get off me!" I snapped, struggling to get her off me. When I had, I scrambled up to the top of the coconut tree where she couldn't get me.

"Aaaw," She whined. "Pete come down! I wanna play!" She clapped her hands, an emotion she'd learnt when she'd been into the city. "Come on! Do you have a letter for me? Ooh with a present? I love presents! I just LOVE them! Not as much as I love you!" She batted her eyelids at me. I inwardly groaned. Meggie was just like a more child like, a more obssessed Pelly. I always tried to avoid her when I was on my rounds, but try as I might she always found me. Curse her! "And I do love you, I love you muchly! In fact, I want to date you! Do you want to date me?" She looked up at me hopefully, but then she frowned. "But wait... Margie said she was dating you! Are you dating Margie? Wait a second..." Her frown deepened, "Curt told me you were dating Peanut! He said you'd even taken her flowers and a tuna fish sandwhich! You can't be dating more than one villager at a time! So who are you dating, Pete? Me, Margie or Peanut?" She looked up at me.

"Uh..." I procrastinated, sweating. I wasn't dating any of them! The only person I WANTED to date was Phyllis, but she wasn't interested... And now I think I knew why.

"You're dating ALL of us?" She gasped, jumping to conclusions with a tear in her eye. "You three-timer, Pete! I thought you loved me! I thought you loved me!" Just as she burst into a wail, another human in town, Jhon, who lived in the Blue house, eyed us and looked like he wanted to laugh. I mouthed to him, 'Help me!'.

"Hey, Meggie! What's up?" Jhon asked, swooping to my rescue.

"P... P... Pete cheated on me with Margie AND Peanut!" Meggie wailed, shooting me a hateful look.

"Aw, well that's too bad on him, isn't it." He comforted. "Hey, why don't you and me go and find a tarantula? I know how much you love to see me get bitten by poisonous animals." Meggie burst out laughing suddenly.

"Yay! Tara, Tara Tara!" She giggled. "Can we go see her?"

"Yes, we can go see the tarantula you caught last year that's in the Museam." Jhon chuckled. She ran off, and he nodded to me before following her.

"Thanks Jhon!" I called. Then I went back to the Town Hall, my work done for today. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to find, not Pelly, but Phyllis standing behind the desk!
"Hi Pete," She drawled, "Pelly got fleas from Curt so I have to cover for her while she gets them off."

"H... Hi, Phyllis!" I stammered. She was sooo cute... Her perfume was so exotic... Phyllis...

"Pete?" She raised her eyebrows. "You're blocking the doorway, idiot." I blushed.

"Oh." I nodded, and rushed around the counter to put my satchel there. Then I hurried back to the door.

"Pete?" I turned. "Goodnight." The way she said goodnight was sooo alluring.

"Uh... Night." I turned and almost ran out of the door, before slumping against the Hall. What a perfect ending to a day in the life of Pete.

A/N: So, what did you think? Was it good? I get kind of unconfident sometimes... I'm working on another one, if I'm able to get enough reviews to motivate me *hint, hint*

Please review!
