Note: chapter 1 is very short!
Hey, my name is Sadie. I'm from the city, but I wanted to move out on my own. And this is the story of how I ended up in the town of Tsuki!
Chapter 1:
It was a cold, dark morning. Outside, it was pouring rain. I reached out to feel the heater, then recoiled at the sharpness of the cold. I flicked on my lamp. Nothing happened. Then I remember! Today is moving day, and my electricity and heat have been cut off!
I hurriedly packed the remainder of my things into my trunk. The taxi should be here any minute to take me to the train station. I kissed my mom good bye, shovelled down a quick breakfast, and dressed in a yellow plastic-like coat, with matching boots. I brushed my pink hair down and made a little bump at the front of it. I heard a beep, and rushed out the door.
The taxi driver helped me get my luggage into the car. I was saturated, because my hood fell down when we were lifting the trunk, and I hadn't had time to pull it back up. My hair-bump flopped. I step into the car with a sigh.
"Well then, lassie, where are ya' headed, in this weather and all?" he questioned me, while looking back through the mirror.
"The train station. I'm leaving town"
"Arrr? I'll be sad to see yer pretty face go!" He wiped a fake tear from his eye.
I give a small smile, wishing he would just drive me to the station and shut up.
"Yes, I'm moving to a town called Lavender" I say.
"Never 'eard of it in me life"
"It's quite small and isolated"
"Big change from the city then, arrr?"
I nod.
In fact, that's what I'm most worried about. The country folk. Hoping they'll accept a posh city girl like me.
"Well, 'ere we are then, lass"
I pay him the fare and don't look back.
The train arrives promptly at 12 o' clock. I show my pass, and board the train. My carriage is relatively empty, apart from a sleeping bear, a girl with headphones, and a blue cat. The cat seems to be staring right at me, but I pretend not to see him, avoiding his gaze.
"Hey there, I'm Rover! Mind if I take a seat?"
I look up. He's wearing a red sweater. He seems friendly enough, so I let him.
"Great, thanks!" He says. "What's your name?" He asks.
"Sadie" I reply.
"So, where are you headed?"
"Lavender"
"Lavender, huh? Never heard of it. Can you show me which one of these maps it is?"
He lays around 4 maps of some towns on the table between us. I study them each carefully, but none of them resemble the map I got sent from Lavenders town hall. I show it to him.
"But...that station isn't on this route" he says.
"What? It must be, this is train no. 56, isn't it?"
"Whaat? This is train 65"
I gulp. A wave of panic hits me.
"Are you absolutely sure?" I ask.
He nods, gravely.
"Oh no..."
"But hey, you should get off at the next stop. I'll go check the schedule"
He trots off, leaving me mentally hyperventilating.
"What are you going to do, now, genius ?" I think.
Rover comes back, with a train schedule in his paws.
"The next stop is Tsuki. I suggest you get off there, and wait for train 56 to stop at their station. But I warn you, Tsuki Town is a little weird. Like, they have all these weird festivals like bug catching day or whatever"
I nod. "Not like I'm moving there"
How wrong was I.
