This is my first Fanfic. Hope you enjoy! :)
Year 1, Spring, Day 1
I don't really know why I'm writing this. I feel like I could be writing to my mom and dad about my new life here on Waffle Island. But I'm not. I'm writing in a journal, that no one except me is ever gonna read. But apparently it's something that everyone does around here. Mayor Hamilton said, "It's a way to get to know yourself and the people around you." Whatever. I guess I'll just pretend that this journal is like a story to someone. Someone who's never gonna read it but oh well. So here goes.
It started when I arrived on Pascal's boat, and the Mayor was waiting to greet me. I can't even describe the way he looked at me. It was like I was the first new villager in 50 years or something. Maybe I was, but jeez, this guy's huge smile was starting to freak me out. I thought he was gonna break out into song and dance soon, so I hurried off the boat to meet him. As soon as I was within talking range, he exploded.
"Hello! You must be Angela! I'm Hamilton, the mayor of the island. Oh, it's so great to meet you, you can't even imagine! We haven't had a villager in over 12 years! Oh, I do hope you'll stay, it really is a wonderful island, I know it doesn't look good now but it'll improve, I promise!" He held out his hand for me to shake.
So 12 years, huh? Not quite 50 but still…what was wrong with this island? I figured I would find out later. Not wanting to be rude, I shook his hand and said, "Umm ya, hi! It's a… it's great to meet you too!"
"Alrighty then Angela, why don't I show you to your house? It's a beauty I must say!"
"Sure," I said, and followed him. We eventually stopped on a hillside, where a small, cozy house sat. I really didn't care that it was small, I was just happy to have a house free of charge.
"So this is your house. It's a bit small now, but of course you can upgrade it once you have the money. What do you think?"
"It's great Hamilton, thanks. I really do like it."
"Well very good then! I see you have some belongings, so I'll let you settle in for the night. Here's a map of the island, come by the town hall tomorrow around 9 and I'll give you a tour of the island."
"Sounds good. I'll be there."
He left running, obviously still happy that I decided to move to the island. Wow, he was definitely a strange one. I hoped everyone on the island wasn't like this. Whatever. I shrugged it off and unloaded my small bag of belongings. Now that I'm all settled in, I'm gonna crash. I have to admit, I was tired from the long journey. And it looks like tomorrow will be another busy day.
Thanks for reading; I know this chapter is really short but it's just the intro. They'll get longer. If anyone has suggestions or notices mistakes, please tell me.
