Under the Rainbow
Chapter 1:
Akari looked out at the big blue ocean that spread out in every direction from the boat. I wonder what the island will be like, she thought to herself looking down at the brochure she held in her right hand. The brochure advertised Waffle Island, saying it was a beautiful island filled with nice people, great scenery and a pleasant atmosphere. If only Akari knew what would await her once she arrived.
"We re almost there", the captain called "only about 5-10 minutes to go." Akari walked below deck to get her belongings so she could save some time when the ship docked. As she walked back to the deck she saw a small landmass gradually getting closer to the ship.
"Waffle Island," she thought, my new home.
"Waffle Island!" the captain called a few minutes later, "time to get off young lady." Akari nodded and stepped of the boat onto the dock.
"Looks nice so far," she stated looking around at the fish market and the beach nearby, "I could learn to live here."
As she walked off the dock a pudgy man in a long blue coat ran towards her motioning her to stop, she did.
"h..he..llo," the man said out of breath as he arrived in front of her "I..I m Hamilton, the mayor here."
"I m Akari," she responded, "so you ve come to greet me? that s odd."
"I come to greet all new islanders, though there hasn t been many in a while,"
"Really? Akari asked puzzled why not?"
"that s for another day," Hamilton cut her off now, shall we get you settled into your new house?
"Yes!" Akari excitedly answered as she followed Hamilton out of the main town.
