What's Your Name, Boy?

Tess sat in the drab old cab. The rained just seemed to pour down outside, and reflected her mood. And it wasn't helping much that the creepy driver up front was asking for her whole life's story!

"Yar, what a gorgeous name!" said the turtle, who had been nice to her up to a creepy point since she entered.

"Yup, it's burly" she said, hoping this would soon be over. Tess thought she saw the turtle slightly twitch at this response.

"What a fitting name for a scumbag like you, boy!" he yelled, raising his voice. Oh great, now he assumed she was of the male gender.

"What the…I'm not a..!"

"HUSH UP! I don't like yer kind…how DARE ye enter ME CAB and not BE A LASS!" He swerved the junker like he was dodging a truck, causing Tess to hold on for dear life. Lovely...this guy was homicidal as well.

"LISTEN! MY NAME IS TESS! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY THINK-"

"YE GENDER CONFUSED JELLYFISH! Ahem, so…do ye have enough money to be supportn' yourself in Sunset?" he said with unusual decency. Still creepy, though.

"But wait! Ughh, I..." Tess decided to give up on changing his mind, and just went with it "Uh, n-not particularly." She sighed, feeling around the emptiness in her pockets. "Broke, actually." Kapp'n raised his eyebrows at this, or so she thought. There was nothing more said until they drove up to the town hall of Sunset.

"Here, take this—a small gift from Kapp'n to you." The turtle then chucked a suspicious-looking cloth bag in the back, which landed on Tess's lap. She opened it, and to her great surprise, what looked like 30,000 bells was inside!

"Th-th-thank…"

"GET OUT!" Tess jumped out of the dingy cab and into the darkness of the rain above. The driver stuck his head out of the window. "Boy, cash those bells in right now! Go! Shoo!"

"But my luggage is…"

"I'll be a-waitin'! GO!" he spat. With that, Tess quickly rushed towards town hall.


Ahhh! I'm so ADHD with stories! Arghhh! I can't help it!

Anyways, review por favor? :)
