I had so little to live for. All those little things that slipped through my grasp where now big things. Now that I was stuck in a small town with no way to get back home, I had to make do with what little I had.
"Who's that?" asked a fair woman, with cherry-red hair. She wore an olden-day sort of fashion, but it looked very nice on her.
"Jamie. I found her out in the rain. She says she's lost." It was the man who found me. He was inhumanly muscular, but he dressed quite formally.
"Oh, you poor girl!" I could tell but her statement that she was older than me. Or, at least, looked the part. "I'll get you some dry clothes and a cup of tea."
Tea? Ugh. At least I was out of the rain. Believe me, rain's always nice, but too much and it becomes a burden.
"Where are you from, Jamie?"
"Mineral Town," I coughed.
"That's quite a ways away from her... How did you get here?"
"I don't remember."
"Do you have a family?"
"I had a fiance. But... there was an... accident."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
I nodded slowly. "What is today?"
"Spring seventh," the man replied.
"And where am I?"
"Zephyr town."
"And who are you two?"
"I'm Felix. My daughter is Sherry."
"Ah."
I stared down at the floor. It was covered in puddles, which were obviously my fault.
"Don't worry about it. Happens every time it rains."
I faked a smile.
Sherry handed me a cup of tea. "I think I have something that will fit you... Wait here."
I took a sip of tea. It was surprisingly sweet and much better than I expected. I took down another gulp.
"Do you like it?" Felix asked.
"Yeah. It's really good."
He smiled.
I stood there in silence, quietly sipping the tea.
Sherry came back downstairs, a couple of outfits in her arm. She took the empty cup and placed it on a table. She held up the clothes individually, checking the size. She appeared in deep concentration. "I think... No..."
I laughed. "What?" She asked.
"Nothing, nothing..."
"I think... Maybe... I've got it!"
Sherry grabbed my hand a pulled my up to her room. She got me out of my damp clothes and into some old clothes of her's. "I feel like a doll," I told her.
We went back downstairs and joked around until the rain cleared up. Once Sherry noticed, she took my hand and ran out the door, dragging me behind her.
The ground was drenched and fog littered the air. The town seemed rather calming.
"I've got to have you meet everyone!"
"Everyone?"
"Everyone!"
Oh great. This was going to take a while.
