Disclaimer: I don't own any of this, if I did, I'd be a lot richer and have all the ramen I want.
Winter was a good time to relax on the islands, since I didn't have much work to do. They could be boring as well, but I found ways to make them fun.
"Julia!" I shouted as I walked into the familiar shop.
"What now, Chelsea? I'm not making you any more food. You're old enough to make your own!" Julia said as she appeared from the top of the stairs in her usual attire. Her hair falling past her shoulders and down past the middle of her back.
"It's not that."
"Good. Because you should learn-"
"Julia."
"-And not to mention-"
"Julia?"
"-Just because-"
"JULIA!"
"What?"
"I came by to tell you that I just raised another island! And wanted to know if you wanted to go explore it with me…?"
"Oh. That's great Chelsea! But, unfortunately, I can't. Mom is out with Felicia today and I promised I'd watch the shop until she gets back."
"Okay. I'll go by myself then. See you later!" I waved as I said this and walked out the door.
Even though I enjoyed work, it was nice not to have to worry about crops for awhile. Good thing I had my animals, otherwise I'd probably be broke by now.
I walked through Verdure Island, saying "hello" as I passed some people. Reaching the pier, I found Kirk.
"Hey there Chelsea!" Kirk shouted
"Hey Kirk!" I responded, "Can you take me to Volcano Island?"
"Sure thing!"
The entire ride there I was imagining what could possibly be there. A mine? Maybe a mine will be there! How cool would that be? The boat landed, and Kirk sent me off with a smile.
From the moment that I stepped on that island, I knew my life was going to change today. I just didn't know how.
