WELCOME TO MARRISTON - PROLOGUE

"Gate 3-7, now boarding!" The gate attendant said. I hurriedly head to the gate, which was already funneling in other people now, get my ticket checked, and manage to get in my flight. I walk down the aisles and look for my seat, which was on my ticket. "Seat 8-1-3." I found my seat and took it. I'm usually picky about my flights, so my area has extended leg room, and I got the window seat. I put the luggage carrier I had on me into the upper storage compartment, grabbing my laptop in the process.

I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Char-Char. my friends just call me Char, because I like it better. I'm a Charmeleon, 23-ish years old, 5"4', 230 lbs, O- blood type, and born August 10, 1995. I'm a bit overweight, but I don't mind that, because I'm extremely fast and athletic. I just have a low metabolism and big boned. My eye color is green and purple, split in the middle. I am wearing a leather trench-coat, with gauze bandages. I like it, although it is a little strange. I also have "Tritanopia". I dunno what that is so lets move on.

I get comfy in my seat, then 2 other people get into the same row as I am in. I don't like to be in social situations, so I look out onto the tarmac. workers are walking around, loading things onto the plane and performing checks on various equipment. I felt a soft tap on my shoulder, so I turn my head to face the man sitting next to me. A large, muscular Arcanine with summer attire on says to me:

"I forgot, what does this flight go to again?"

"U-uh."

I can't believe it. It's my first interaction on here, and I stutter. Nice going, Char.

"It's Dovai Island, dad." a young, female Growlithe says, next to him, also wearing summer attire.

He thanks her and I continue to look at the workers. A little while later, the intercom buzzed, as the pilot, or whoever says

"We are about to take off soon. The flight will take approximately 8 hours, and the weather will be smooth throughout the flight. Thanks for choosing Lightning Airlines!"

. The workers were dome finishing up when the plane started moving forward. some twists and turns, and waiting for another plane, we are on the runway. The plane starts to speed up, and them before I knew it, we were in the sky. Along with the airport, I could the city I was just in. Multiple building from so high. I knew it looked cool in videos, but in person, it just blows your mind. We even passed over a famous landmark. Yes, I got it on my phone.

It was around an hour or so before I saw the ocean. As I saw the landmass I was on an hour ago recessed into the horizon, I felt a tap on my shoulder, the same tap from the Arcanine. I faced him, and he said

"Hey, what are you gonna do at Dovai?"

I calmed myself mentally and replied

"I'm moving there, you?"

"My daughter and I are going on a summer trip we've been saving up on." He said as the Growlithe leaned besides him, and waved. I waved back, and said

"Yeah. That place has be most beautiful beaches. What city are you going to?" "Marriston, of course."

Marriston City was easily one of the best vacation spots around. It has 5-star hotels and restaurants, silky, white sand beaches, and wonderful attractions. Only, of course, in the attraction district. Marriston has 4 districts, The urban district, the attraction district, The nature district, and finally, the seaside district, which is where i'm going to.

"I understand why. The place has such a good quality to it for so long it's criminal. I wonder how they did it." I replied.

The Arcanine nodded and shrugged in reply. I looked out the window and looked out into the endless ocean. It got boring after a while so I got my laptop from out of its case.

The computer is a beautiful Alienware 17 R3 laptop, with custom maroon LED lights I put in myself. Hell yeah it voided the heck outta my warranty, but that won't stop me from being a computer freak. I booted up Minecraft and got to work on my city. Overall, I completed 56% of the whole city. I didn't realize I was tired when I looked out the window and saw it was night and the cabin lights where off. I turned off my laptop, put it in its case, and checked if anyone was behind me. Luckily, there wasn't anyone, so I reclined in my seat, put in my headphones, connected to my phone, played my nighttime music playlist on my phone, and rest my eyes. I didn't realize i was asleep until I was awoken by shouting.

I looked over to the source of the noise and saw 2 people. One person standing up, the other sitting. I think they were arguing about someone's Nintendo Switch and that it was stolen from them. It turns out the person standing up wanted the the Switch, and took it from them. A flight attendant saw this and said they would be arrested for theft when the plane landed. Heh, bitch got what was coming to them. The Arcanine started from the movie from the screen on the back of the seat in front of him. And I didn't know those were actually functional, I thought they were for decoration. I asked politely if I can watch the movie him and he agreed. I tapped the screen in front of me and it came on. I swiped and found an icon that said "Flight Duration". I tapped on it and it read "Flight Duration: 2 hours remaining."

Nice. I tapped the red "Power" Icon on the top-right of the screen, and it turned the screen off. I then continued to watch the movie with the Arcanine. It was called "The Outsiders." It had a book version which is my favorite book to this day, so I enjoyed. The movie ended, and I looked out my window. We were already over land. I checked the flight duration on the screen and it said 30 more minutes. They were not the longest 30 minutes, and soon, the plane landed at the airport. I waited until the pilot said that we can leave that I got my luggage from the overhead compartment, and put my computer in it, and exited the plane

. It was much like boarding it, but not. I got the rest of my luggage and I exited the airport, and then called and Über. Marriston wasn't far from here, so it didn't cost much. I rented a home in Marriston, to I told the Über driver to drive me to the address. We departed from the airport and drove to the address. Along the way, I saw many thing I haven't before. It was like they were stuck in the 50's or 60's. It was a fresh breath of something new, and I LOVED it. When we arrived, I took all of my luggage out of the car, and stepped onto the sidewalk. The neighborhood was like a cul-de-sac, and I got a house near the turnabout. I paid the Über driver and they drove off. I breathed in the new Marriston air, and stepped forward. My new life in Marriston is just beginning. "Welcome to Marriston." I said to myself, as I walked to my new house.
