After I finished unpacking my clothes, I decided to take the mayor's advice and meet everyone. I left my house,and jogged down the dirt
path to Waffle Town.

The first stop was the Sundae Inn. I walked through the door, and I saw a boy with peach-colored hair arguing with a blonde-haired girl.

The boy was wearing a white button-down shirt with a blue apron. He had 3 bobby pins in his hair, and purple eyes. The girl was wearing a poofy pink and white dress, and had big sea-green eyes.

"But, Chase, why can't I make something for the new girl?" The girl complained.

"Because you'll probably end up killing her," said Chase.

"WAAAH! Chase, you're such a-" The blonde girl stopped as she saw me.
Her angry frown turned into a smile, and she skipped over to me."Hi! You must be the new girl! I'm Maya," she greeted."My parents
own the Inn. That grumpy guy over there is Chase. He's one of the cooks here."

Chase grunted and went into the kitchen. Wow, what an introduction.

"Hi, I'm Angela. It's nice to meet you, Maya,"I replied.

"Maya, do you know where my hairbrush is?" A voice asked from somewhere.
Then another girl came down the stairs. She was blonde, like Maya, but her hair was more of a honey color.

Her hair was in a ponytail,and she was wearing a short cowgirl-ish outfit. She had on a blue jacket that was tied just below her chest, and a small shirt underneath that was just big enough to cover her chest. Her skirt was brown and rather rug-looking and it barely covered her womanhood. She was wearing matching cowboy boots.

She spotted me, and said,"Oh, hey. You must be the new farmer. The mayor told me about you. Angela, right?"

I nodded."Yeah. Who're you?"

"I'm Kathy. My dad owns the bar here."

"Cool," I said."Well I should probably get are lots more people to meet."

"Aww,bye," Maya said, a little sad. Kathy waved. "Okay. Well see ya' later."

I walked out of the Inn and looked around. One place down, a whole lot more to go. I sighed, and started walking to the general store.

It took me an hour to meet everyone in town. They all seemed friendly. Well, except for Gill, the scrawny, silver-haired boy from my memory.

As soon as I saw him, I picked up a small rock, threw it at his head, and ran as fast as I could. That's what he gets for calling me a spaz! And a relaxed fisherman about my age named Toby gave me his old fishing pole, which was really cool.

It took me another two hours to meet everyone in Maple Lake District,
Brownie Ranch, and most of Ganache Mine District.

The people from Brownie Ranch gave me a sickle to get rid of weeds, and crops that weren't in season anymore, and
their daughter, Renee, was very nice, too. I could tell we'd be good friends.

Anissa, from Souffle Farm, was sweet, and we hit it off almost immediately. But her parents were kinda...odd. Her mom
seemed depressed, and her dad was an irritable old man. He called me weak, and said I wasn't going to last long,
but he gave me a watering can, a hoe, and a free bag of potato seeds.

It was a little crazy at the Blacksmith's. The little girl, Chloe, was fun and spunky, and ran around a lot. She was very hyper and said that she wanted to be a pirate when she grows up. A muscly guy named Owen gave me his old hammer.
And a guy (or at least Owen said he was a guy)named Julius, who helped his aunt with the jewelry, was a little...flamboyant. He had purple hair with multi-colored streaks, and wore heart shaped earrings. His clothes were very flashy and fancy, and he talked in a way that was...he was just weird.

Next stop was the Carpenter's, and then I'd be all done. I walked up the mini steps and opened the door. When I looked up, I saw a familiar, scruffy face.

"Dale!" I shouted.

"Well looky here!If it isn't little Angie!" Dale exclaimed. He got out from behind the counter and gave me a big hug. "How have ya' been all these years?
I haven't seen you since you were no bigger than a puppy. My, you've grown up so much."

"Ugh...can't...breath..." I gasped. My face started to blue.

"Oh, sorry," he apologized, letting me go. I took a deep breath, and my face turned back to it's original pale color.

"If you're looking for Luke, he's probably at the forest with my apprentice, Bo."

"Okay! Thanks, Dale!" I darted out the door, and ran as fast as I could to the forest.

When I got there, I saw Luke standing next to a tree stump, ready to chop it. He was wearing a white tank-top with a brown vest, and washed-out jeans. He had his hair tied up in his favorite fire-print bandanna. A couple feet away from him, there was a sandy-haired boy with freckles.
The sandy-haired boy turned to face me. "Oh, hi. Are you new here?" he asked. I nodded in response.

"That's cool. We haven't had a new resident in a while. I'm Bo."

Bo turned to face Luke. "Hey Luke! We have company!"

"Hold on, Bo," Luke said.

Luke took a deep breath. He brought his axe back further, then he swung it. The blade hitting the stump made a loud cracking sound that echoed through the forest, and the stump split into four pieces.

"Yeah!" He shouted, pumping his fist into the air. "That was AWESOME!
I should name that move! Quadra-Chop? No. Mega-Splitter? Nah. Hey Bo,
what do you-? Luke turned around and immediately stopped talking as he saw me.

His eyes grew to the size of tennis balls. He rubbed his eyes and continued to stare at me. Then he shouted, "ANGElA!" and ran to me, giving me a hug tighter than the one Dale gave me.

My face turned a deep blue that was almost purple. Luke noticed, and quickly let me go, apologizing.

"Heh, sorry. It's just...man, I haven't seen you since we were kids!How old are you now?"

"Eighteen,"I said."And you should be nineteen,am I right?" Luke grinned.

"Yep! I'm still older than you!" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Oh, please. You're only one year older."

Bo looked back and forth from me, to Luke, to me, and back to Luke. "You two know each other?" he asked. Luke and I nodded.

"Yes," I answered. "We met on the mainland when we were little. We were best friends until Luke and his family moved, and we haven't seen each other since."

"Oh," said Bo. He turned to Luke. "Well, not to ruin this moment, but we should probably start heading back."

"Yeah, you're right. We've got enough lumber," Luke agreed. He smiled at me and waved "It was nice seeing you again, Angie. See ya' later."

"It was nice seeing you, too, Luke."

I watched them as they left. When they were out of sight, I quietly screamed with joy. I've been reunited with my old friend!
