Chapter One

One island, One dream

-Korah-

I hear that waffle town became quiet after the Island was restored. The media claims it was a natural occurrence: which I find rather strange. New townsfolk poured in every day. My cousin Gith and I wanted to start farms there. One- the land is quite fertile, and two my mother and my uncle both raised farms. Gith and I were what you could call "Favorite Cousins", always fitting together in the puzzle of best friendship. We have a third cousin as well, Madeline, who decided to take a later ferry during the next week. Maddy has a thing for "total hotties", and she asked me to tell her specifically if I spotted one. She's out of luck because I don't know what type of guy fits the description "total hottie". When Gith heard about the Island, he reminded me about one of the many dreams he had. His dreams are amazing, and almost always come true. He claims the dream took place on this very island. He told me that I 'll get confused a lot and be the biggest heartbreaker of all….

Sighing back, I closed my Journal. The ferry was arriving in port. I yelled to Gith and he came rushing from the lower deck to see it. From far or close, that island was beautiful. Five rainbows stretched across the sky, and a vast mountain that seemed to pull them all so that they revolved around it..

"That's it… Mount Gelato." He had this poetic tone about him.

"I bet you could give the tour all your own, huh?" I ask, jokingly.

"Actually…I could…" he trails off. "I still have that dream." He seemed to zone off, to the far distance- past the huge island and illuminated skies. Happily but sadly he stared, with a somewhat raging form of tranquility. The Captain, Pascal called out to us that we had docked the ferry. "We're already in town as soon as we step off this dock." Gith whispered to me. The secret we shared was that Gith had been here one night a week for years and years on end in that one dream. It was a long dream that repeated over and over again, one night each week, or at least he told me. He had it all memorized, because it happened so much.

We soon both followed Pascal off the dock and set foot on stone. He's was saying something, but I didn't pay any attention- If i ever needed any help with anything, I had figured I could just ask Gith. I really didn't feel like listening to anyone at the moment. I stared off to the shores to our left, how the ocean fell under the neat line of the sky. How the water flickered with colors from the sky. I then noticed a fisherman with silvery blue hair walking towards us, at first he had seemed to want business with Pascal… but his attention turned to me.

"Good afternoon", he smiled. His eyes made him appear sly, but everything else about him suggested a friendly manor. "My name is Toby." He reached out his hand to shake.

"Oh… My name is Korah." I reached out and grabbed his hand to shake- but he had something else in mind.
He flushed my face as he kissed my hand like a full-blown gentleman.

Gith was the only one not shocked, so he explained to Toby that we had to continue our tour. The silvery hair then continued back across the ocean shores. As we walked away, Gith starting whispering to me "He was in my dream, you know." He kept quiet, so Pascal wouldn't hear. "That's actually the only time you two will have any chemistry." He finished, creating a distance between us.

Our tour had us pass over the town and continue towards the mines. Pascal showed us the Maple Lake District, where most the other residents lived. The view consisted of less than ten houses orbited around a small Lake. A huge Rainbow rising up out of the ground was nearby to the Lake, in between that and a thick tree a child dressed in blue sat. The child looked…inhuman. I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked back, seeing it was a blue flower perched there. At first I regarded it as a mistake of my eye.

"You saw it too." Gith looked at me, almost as puzzled as I. I remained silent while my eyes spelled out the truth. Gith returned my visual grammar with a silent nod.

We soon continued our path to the Gelato Mines district. There were three ways in front of us, Pascal asked us to guess which way was the mines. Gith pointed to the center path, and of course, he was dead on. Next we headed to brownie ranch, vast fields that went on for what seemed like forever. Near the back of the farm was another tree, a red flower beneath. Tempted, I walked to it; but made sure no one was watching.

"Hi there" I whispered, taking a seat by the red delicate thing.

"Hello." I heard it whisper back, I looked around to make sure no one else was near.

"I saw a blue child under another tree, but the next second it was a flower... What are you?" I quickly questioned, checking around, but no one else was even near us. It chuckled "So you can see us?".

See them?

"I'm not sure what I saw." My eyes then cast down. Gith started heading this way, pascal with him, just as the red flower turned into an elf-sort of a child, with a shiny green hair and red clothes lined with pink- black tights underneath and gloves. Soul-less beady black eyes, with white centers, stared back at me.

"I'll be back" I whispered, getting up and brushing myself off, pretending like I was just taking a break from walking.
"I know you will." I hear,

upon turning around, I see the petite red flower again.

"What Just happened?" Gith asked me aloud. "Gosh I was just taking a break." "but-" He started talking but I had to pull him aside. "Not everyone can see them, I'll explain later..." I silently convinced him. We then followed pascal out of brownie ranch and back to the Gelato mines. Here, we soon had ran into someone else. Gith signaled me as he approached- A strong looking man with a shark-tooth necklace and blue hair. Definitely the craziest hair color I've seen today. Gith's signals suggested that he was in the dream. He reeked of some manly man perfume, grabbed my hand and twirled me around

"Who's this?" he asked Pascal. "Her Name is Korah, she's going to be a new resident, along with her relative Gith." He said, gesturing at us upon speaking our names. I silently do an excited nod. "Lucky me~" He grabbed my hand again and twirled me around once more, despite it being really random of him, the twirling was really fun. I almost felt myself getting dizzy.

"That's enough!" Gith broke in, "We have a tour to finish." He was more strict this time, I really don't think he liked this guy at all. "My name is Luke." he shot back. "I'm not causing your tour any harm." they were both being flat-out rude to each other, for those who just met. I don't understand why Gith was so rude to him, since he must have been in the dream. "I'll be going now." he backed away, but before he left he let go of my hand, he touched my cheek and let his hand fall away as he left. He had this dignity and pride about him. It was attractive. For some reason, I could still smell the man perfume after he left.

Next, we headed to the Caramel River District. We didn't see much of it because we circled back to Waffle Town. I could see, though, from afar, a mountain. A rainbow from Brownie Ranch Stretched up towards it, and another rainbow stretched in another direction from there. "Pascal, what's at the top of that mountain?" I asked, pondering over all that I saw today. "Not much, I hear, but I've never been there myself." he replied "Oh, also, this is the District you'll be living in. Your houses aren't ready yet, so you'll be staying at the inn." He finished with a cough.

We then walked back into Waffle Town "Mayor Hamilton will finish your tours with you when your houses are ready, but for now you'll find anything you need at the inn." we both nodded at this, and then entered the inn.
