I frowned. "YoshTown? What kind of name is that?"

My mum didn't answer, but instead pointed to a photo of a magnificent waterfall that was placed underneath the title.

I gawked at the beautiful sight. I was compelled to continue reading the box of text that was typed out underneath, and did so.

My mum leaned over my shoulder. "Can you read it out loud?"

I lifted the paper up to my face as I cleared my throat and found my place at the beginning of the paragraph. "Looking for a relaxing country town to release the stresses of city life? YoshTown's the place for you! Luscious greenery covers the entire landscape of our humble town, which is home to the friendliest neighbours around, and the nicest shop owners and staff." I glared at a small image of a brown raccoon wearing a blue apron with a leaf on it. He was showing an overly cheesy smile and he was clasping his hands together. I continued reading, "YoshTown is just a mere bus drive away, so what are you waiting for? Mayor Tortimer gives it two thumbs up!" Underneath that last sentence was a photo of an elderly tortoise who was holding two thumbs up, although he couldn't hold them up very high. Exhaling, I lowered the brochure, a smile on my face. "This place seems perfect."

My mum's face lit up like a firework. "Excellent!" she shouted in glee, "I'll start packing your things!" With that, she sped up the spiral staircase I had ran down merely minutes ago, leaving me in the dust.

I blinked. "Wait a minute!" I shouted, grabbing the brochure and running after my eccentric mother.

Once I arrived at my tiny bedroom, my mum was grabbing every piece of clothing she could find, and throwing it into an old, purple suitcase that I used once for a school camp. She had left all of my drawing tools and video games in a single pile on my bed, thank goodness. "Isn't it a little early to be packing?" I shouted, waving my arms around at a frantic speed, hoping to catch her attention.

"Of course not, silly!" she said, not moving from her spot in front of my dresser, "You're leaving tomorrow!"

That one sentence caught me completely off-guard. Tomorrow? That's crazy! "What do you mean, tomorrow? We just decided on the town I'm moving to literally five minutes ago!"

She giggled. "Yeah, about that..."

I could see what was coming.

"I had already booked a house for you in YoshTown, and organised for the bus to pick you up tomorrow morning..."

I frowned. "So even if I didn't want to go to YoshTown, you would have made me go anyway?"

She nodded in slight remorse.

I sighed and smacked my right hand against my forehead. "Why didn't you tell me about this?..." I knew I wouldn't get an answer to that question, so I flung myself onto my single-bed and watched my mum pack my clothes for the next half an hour, before loading the suitcase with my DS, 3DS, the games to match, laptop, drawing tablet, sketchpad, other drawing tools, and all of my other personal belongings in a special compartment.
