Hiya everyone! I was reading a few fanfics a few days ago and got the idea of writing about the rival children of Castanet Island! But I'm not going to copy anything of course.
Anyway, if you want to know who Molly (The main character of Animal Parade) is married to, it's the Wizard because then all the rival children could make an appearance in the story!
I also found it really hard to think of a name for Molly's daughter but after searching for names, I decided to name it Rose since Molly's a farmer and Rose is a name of a flower!
Okay, let's start chapter one! Please enjoy!
Rose's POV
I loved my life, everything was so great and peaceful. Helping Mom with farming and Dad teaching me magic. In fact, life wasn't just great and peaceful, it was perfect!
I walked downstairs with my hairbrush in my hands so I could brush my hair while eating breakfast.
"Good morning Rose." greeted my Dad. My Dad was a Wizard, everyone called him Wizard but I knew that his name was really Gale. I don't know why he keeps his name a secret, it's pretty weird.
I smiled at my Dad, "Good morning." I stroked my soft hair and placed the brush on the table.
Mom served us pancakes, "Rose, your father and I have something to tell you." she said as she sat down on a chair beside dad.
"Yeah? What is it?" I questioned as I used my fork to eat my pancake.
"Well, Roseā¦" started Dad.
I looked at my Mom and Dad, aren't they going to tell me the news? I was sure that whatever the news was, it was probably something really exciting. Like a party or maybe I get to have my own pet or even better, maybe I could become a Wizard or Witch!
Mom looked at me happily, "You will not believe it!"
"Okay..." I said, why can't they just tell me now? "Just tell me now."
"We're having a baby next week." Mom and Dad both said at the same time in joyful voices as if it was the best thing that has ever happened to them.
But I didn't react the same way, I mean another child in the house? Does it mean they won't care about me anymore? I heard that whenever there is a new baby, the baby always get the attention and no one will ever care about the older brother or sister anymore. Would Mom and Dad not care about me anymore and start paying so much attention to the baby? Is that really going to happen? I had so many questions.
Dad looked and grinned at me, "The baby is going to be your little brother."
I was slightly devastated. A brother? A boy? A sister would've been okay but a brother? That's even worse! How would I be able to find a good game to play with a boy?
"When are you going to have it?" I questioned nervously, fiddling with my long hair.
Dad was smiling at mom, "In a week, Rose."
Did he just say a week? A WEEK? That quick?
"What?" I shrieked out. "In just a week?"
Mom nodded, "We've known for 2 seasons already!"
"2 seasons?" I questioned surprised. "Why didn't you tell me that before?"
"We wanted it to be a huge surprise for you." replied Dad, happily.
"Wow, it was the best surprise that has ever happened to me." I said sarcastically.
Mom came over to where I was sitting, "I knew you'd be happy."
I rolled my eyes, usually Mom didn't know if I was sarcastic or not.
"Molly, she was being sarcastic." Dad had told Mom after. Mom looked at me while I just nodded at her, she sighed.
"Rose, a baby, don't you want one?" Mom asked me. "You will love the baby. We promise."
I shook my head, "And what if it's annoying?"
Mom and Dad were silent. I guess I won!
"We'll do something about it, okay?" Mom said suddenly.
I gave out a huge sigh, guess I didn't. "Alright, fine."
"Okay Rose." announced Dad. "Get ready for school."
I nodded, "Okay Dad."
I walked to the bathroom to put my hairbrush back. I looked at the mirror so I could see my reflection, I didn't look so bad. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed my schoolbag which was near the front door and left the house.
I was pretty angry, I couldn't believe we're having a baby and they didn't tell me in the past 2 seasons. It wasn't even a good surprise. What were they thinking?
When I arrived at school, I put my bag down.
"Hi Rose." I turned around to see who greeted me. It was Vivian and Angie, they were right behind me!
"Hi Vivian, hi Angie." I replied back.
Vivian smiled at me, "Guess what?"
"What?"
"Mother made me this skirt, with the help of Auntie of course." Vivian said as she grinned at Angie. Vivian and Angie were cousins and great friends, their Moms are sisters so they pretty much visit each other everyday?
"D-do you like it Rose?" asked Angie happily.
I nodded,"It's pretty."
Angie just said, "Yeah, My Mom and her Mom are really good at making clothes."
"Yeah I know, they work at the Tailor Shop." I replied back. "But guess what just happened to me?"
"What?" questioned Vivian, curiously.
"My Mom is having a baby." I answered quietly.
Angie's eyes were wide opened, "Aw really? Babies are so adorable."
"That's what everyone thinks except me." I mumbled to myself.
Vivian seemed to hear my mumbling, "You hate babies?"
"Oh no!" I said shocked. "That's not what I meant. I meant I hate little brothers."
"I see." responded Vivian, giggling. "I wish I had a little brother or sister."
"Hey Rose, do you want to know how babies are made?" questioned Angie cheekily.
I had never thought of that question, "Yes Angie!"
Vivian had her mouth wide opened, "Angie! Don't tell her!"
"Oh fine I won't." replied Angie laughing. "Can I just at least give her the book?"
They had a book about how babies are made? I never knew Angie was so into babies.
Vivian just nodded, "Okay fine."
Angie opened her schoolbag and grabbed out a book. I took the book and looked at it's cover, the title was How Are Babies Made? On the front cover was a man and a woman kissing, it was pretty disgusting and for some reason, I was staring at the picture.
But I stopped myself and placed the book in my schoolbag. "Thanks, I'll read it at home."
