*HONK*
The same ship's horn startled Reo, waking her up from her nap. "Welcome to Simphony!" announced the captain as she tipped her hat out of random. Rubbing her eyes, Reo stood from the wooden deck chair and leaned over the side of the ferry to glance at her new home.
The town was still a little far, but Reo was able to make some parts of the view, such as the port area, which some parts were surrounded by large rocks. The port area has two boardwalks, one that was just a single walkway and the other was a large platform that has two beach houses. For the latter boardwalk, two extending boardwalks that led out to the shallow side of the ocean. Next to the small board walk is a small patio table with a green umbrella opening as a shade, and there are two wooden chairs next to the table. Slightly adjacent to the patio is another beach house that was slightly larger than the ones on the boardwalks. This house was wooden and has a cage-like window, which a flower bush was underneath it. The roof has dark grey slates with tassels hanging from the edge of the roof. The bottom part of the house is white, where few of the steps led up to the door that could be the main entrance. Despite looking a little old and desolate, Reo still found the place quite charming. "Wow…" Reo was in awe, realizing that she's finally here in this little town.
Meanwhile…
A boy was walking through the shore, skipping rocks across the ocean. Jeez… Another day in this empty town. I wonder if there's going to be anyone who wants to stay here, the boy thought. With no one here, how is grandma supposed to manage this place? The boy rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "I wish today is different." The boy skipped another pebble, which came across the ocean six times.
As he was about to throw his last rock, a ship's horn blared in the distance, startling the boy a little. "Wha…?! Is that what I thought I heard ?" Dropping the rock, the boy ran towards the small dock, yet keeping his distance from the boardwalk and himself by staying between the line that separates the sand with the grass. Squinting at the distance of the ocean, the boy gasped a little. "Could it be?! Is the town's luck changing?"
As the ferry nears in, the answer quickly struck the boy. "Yes! A new tourist!" The boy's happy face soon changed into a look of panic. Wait… What am I supposed to do? This is new for the town to have a Sim… Agh! I don't know what to do! A jumble of thoughts ran through the boy's head, and the boy froze in shock as the ferry finally arrived at the dock.
The boy watched the passenger, along with the captain, came out of the ferry and landed on the boardwalk. The passenger, not noticing the boy, began speaking with the captain, who also took no notice of the boy as well. The passenger is a girl, with black hair of medium length and sea green eyes, and she wears a yellow shirt, which has a short-sleeved, faded blue denim jacket over it, and wears faded blue shorts. She also wears brown boots that go up to her calves.
It was only until the girl started to turn that the boy realized that he's been staring at her too long, and he began to panic as she began to walk down the boardwalk. In the spur of the moment, the boy began to run.
After a while, the ferry finally arrived at the small dock, and Reo and the captain came down from the ferry and onto the boardwalk. "All right, we're here." The captain pointed to the left on Reo's side and explained, "You'll hit the town if you go due east from here." Reo nodded before thanking the captain. Before she could go off, the captain added, "But I've gotta say, you're quite a curious Sim for wanting to come to this town." Reo tilted her head to the side before questioning, "Eh? What do you mean?"
"I mean that no one has ever been in this town for a long time. Not a lot of Sims here, possibly due to being very provincial and old. Most Sims would want to go somewhere big and popular…" the captain explained. Reo gave the captain a small smile before answering, "Well… This place may be old and somewhat run-down, but I think if the right person gets a hold of it and cleans it up, maybe this person could turn this town into something good. As to that, I think I can help make this town the way it once was. After all, I do like a project."
"Well… Ok then! If you think you can do it, you can, and I believe you can do it as well. I'll have Tom take care of your luggage and take it to your home. Good luck!" The captain and Tom, who was in the ferry trying to grab Reo's bags, waved as Reo turned and walked down the boardwalk.
As she finally came in contact with the actual ground of the town, she started noticed a boy, wearing a long-sleeved orange shirt, blue overalls, black sneakers, and a dog hat that covered most of his royal blue hair, right in front of her. The boy's green eyes widen in shock before he bolted away from her.
What the….? Curious, the girl began to run after him. Adrenaline pumping through her body as she quickly followed him through the pink sidewalk, which was beside the empty road. The boy stopped for a moment to turn and look behind, shocked that she was going after him, before running away again. "Hey! Wait!" Reo yelled and stopped to breathe a little before running after him again.
The girl continued to chase him to the east, the direction of where the town is.
