The Chronicles of Animal Crossing: Race Against Time

Chapter 1

Michelle's POV

Our lives were running smoothly ever since we defeated Xiara, and everyone in Meltokio moved into my castle. We've been living peacefully for the last few weeks. We used this time to relax, and work out the rest of the details or my big event. It was now the end of August, and my coronation was taking place in less than an hour. I was wearing a bright yellow ball gown, and light yellow heels on my feet underneath, with my hair curled, and resting on my shoulders. My friends were sitting outside, wearing fancy dresses that I had lent them (we were all the same size-how convenient!). They were eagerly waiting to see me, along with the rest of the people and animals who lived in Animal Crossing that could make the ceremony. I was so excited. This was a huge thing for me. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to arrive so soon. Yet, I felt a little sad about how I had to lose my parents to gain my new throne.

"Your parents would be beaming with pride, if they could only see you today," Serena said to me, patting me on the shoulder before she floated outside to meet the crowd. I nodded at Serena, and waited a few moments, before trailing outside behind her.

Emily's POV

I was sitting in the crowd with Lucy, Coco, Kiki, and the other residents of Meltokio, excitedly waiting to witness Michelle be crowned queen of Animal Crossing. Static was fiddling with the purple and orange tie he was wearing with his suit, while Wolfgang was helping Alfonso adjust the cuffs on his suit.

"I hate wearing these stupid monkey suits!" Static complained.

"HEY!" a monkey sitting nearby yelled at him. "NOT cool, bro."

"Uh, sorry," Static said, his face starting to turn scarlet. "But seriously, as soon as Michelle has that crown on her head, I'm taking this thing off, and changing into my workout clothes." Ruby and Olivia giggled, and rolled their eyes.

"This is going to be so amazing," I said happily, crossing my legs in my seat.

"I know!" Lucy exclaimed, clapping her paws with glee. "Then we're going to party afterwards. It will be so much fun!"

"I want it to start already!" Coco said, squirming in her seat. "I'm getting tired of waiting!"

"Yeah, me too!" Kiki piped up. "Oh, wait! I see Serena now!" After about an hour of people (and animals) filing in, and waiting, Serena finally came out, holding the shiny, gold, jewel encrusted crown that she was going to place on Michelle's head.

Michelle's POV

I followed Serena out, with my hands at my side, and my head held high, where a huge crowd of a thousand people/animals applauding met me. I blushed, and smiled shyly, as I waved to the crowd, when I saw Emily and the others waving back, with big grins on their faces.

"Presenting Queen Michelle Alyssa!" Serena announced, holding the crown above my head. Before Serena could place the crown on my head, a sword flew from the back of the crowd, and before anyone could blink, the sword went through the crown, and pinned it to one of the tall, wooden doors of the castle. Everyone gasped in shock, especially Serena and me. I stared at the hanging crown with wide eyes, then I looked towards the back of the crowd, trying to find the one who threw the potentially threatening blade.
