Hi everyone! This is my first time writing a fanfiction, so please be easy on me. If there's anyone that can help me out with this story, I'll appreciate it lot. Having said that, enjoy!

8 am, a normal morning just like every single one that Nathaniel has lived in his town. He always felt tired having to wake up and do stuff after being accidentally confused as the mayor of the town New Leaf. However, it wasn't that bad for him due to the relaxing atmosphere that the town had with its residents. It felt like going to school, but instead of suffering, he enjoyed it. Especially when he had free time to catch bugs, dig up some fossils and fish.

After walking from his house to the Town Hall, Nathaniel entered and wasn't surprised to find his adorable secretary Isabelle, the yellow dog with a head band on her head, sleeping over some papers. He loved how she was always determined to work alongside him and cheering him up when things were going bad. After looking at her for a few seconds, he walked up to her and softly caressed her head

"Time to wake up Isabelle" he said in a gently tone.

"Five more minutes please" Isabelle groaned a bit without opening her eyes.

Nathaniel decided to follow the play, seeing how this was going "Sorry sleepyhead, but we have to get back to work." He started to move slowly her head while saying that.

Isabelle then slowly opened her eyes and after opening them completely and seeing Nathaniel right in front of her, she jumped in surprise.

"Oh! Sorry mayor, looks like I overslept again" she said blushingly while grabbing her ears in embarrassment.

"It's ok Isabelle, you don't have to do this ALL the time, you know" Nathaniel chuckled while walking towards his desk.

"Mayor, you know how I am, always ready and working as hard as possible with anything that you need, and getting these papers ready for you was priority number one. After all, these are all the projects and report status about the weekly status of the town" Isabelle said while piling and organizing the papers and handing them to Nathaniel.

"Thanks Isabelle, but you don't have to work TOO hard. You need to relax from time to time, the body was never meant to work permanently with no rest whatsoever" Nathaniel responded as he grabbed the papers and put them in his desktop.

"Whatever you say, sir" Responded Isabelle cheerfully. "Oh, but before you read the reports, you might want to look at this" Said Isabelle as she grabbed the newspaper and handed it over to Nathaniel. Once he got the newspaper, he started reading the headline: FORMER MAYOR DAWN BELLWETHER LOCKED UP IN PRISON AFTER COURT FOUND HER GUILTY BEHIND THE NIGHTHOWLER INCIDENT.

"Wow, so she was all this time the one responsible of this? What will happen to Lionheart?" Asked Nathaniel after reading the headline

"He will return to power in a few months, meaning that the ones in charge for now will be the members of city council" Isabelle responded. "But personally, I can't believe Bellwether was capable of doing such a thing. She would've never done something like that"

That last sentence raised Nathaniel's curiosity "Why would you say that?"

Isabelle wasted no time in answering his question "Because I met with her once"

By just saying those words, Isabelle could see in her mayor's eyes the surprise and curiosity, which has gotten to a very high level. She now knew that Nathaniel wanted to hear her whole story and know her past. "What!? Really!?" was all what Nathaniel could say.

Isabelle then started to tell her story: "You see mayor, Bellwether and I used to be classmates when we studied back in the University. She was kind of shy, but I started talking to her after she had a problem with an assignment We used to hang out together discussing various things about the class and other related topics, and I saw in her a really good nature. She was really kind with me back then, and we became friends"

"And then what happened?" Asked Nathaniel, eager to know how they separated

"After we graduated, we each went on our own ways. I didn't have her phone or any other form to contact her, so we stopped knowing about each other, although I was always wondering how she was doing" And with that, Isabelle stopped her flashback "But after seeing what she has done, I just can't believe that she had this type of behavior. Something must have happened to her to make her act like that. I need to help her out. That's not the Bellwether I know. I want the Bellwether that was kind and nice with me back"

Nathaniel felt the determination within Isabelle on wanting to help her old friend, but knew that it was going to be hard to do such thing, especially after being captured just a few days ago. "Alright Isabelle, listen. You may want to help her out, and I can help you out with this, but first we need to think of way to help her out. You know that she was just sent to jail for a very serious crime, and she has to pay her sentence, whether you like it or not."

Isabelle didn't like it when she heard that. She wanted to help Bellwether, but knew that she had to do it according to the law. "Alright, let's think of plan"

And so, both mayor and secretary started to think of way to help Bellwether in way that went according to the law.

And thanks for reading! Stay tuned for the next chapter! It may take a while, so please be patient.
