Chapter 2
Wisp's POV
After saying goodbye to the gang at the carpentry (specifically to Luke like 40 times) I started to make my way back home. I'm already calling it home? Great! Sounds great! I thought sarcastically. I didn't really want to call it home, not just yet. I just wasn't ready.
I stopped suddenly; realizing that I didn't know which way was home. I went back to the mine cart, but it still wasn't back yet so there was only one other way, past the carpentry. Luckily for me I somehow ended back at the house Wolfy and I shared. I unlocked the house with the key that Cain had given me and walked inside. Suddenly realizing that I never gave Wolfy the other key, I decided to leave the door unlocked. I crawled into the bed and turned off the light. Suddenly deciding the bed was too "soft" I grabbed a blanket off the bed and spread it on the floor. Then I grabbed one of the pillows and a blanket and slept on my makeshift bed.
Wolfy's POV
I went home after talking with Wizard some more. Okay, make that trying to talk to him. He just kept ignoring me. I approached the house and suddenly realized that Wisp never gave me the key. I groaned and started looking for a way in. Luckily for me, behind the house, I found an open window. I managed to crawl through it without any difficulty and I accidently fell on Wisp. "Sorry Wisp!" I said as I got up off of her.
Wisp stood up, rubbing her head in pain. "Why did you come in through the window?" she asked.
"You never gave me the key to the door so I came in through the window."
"I knew that, so I left it unlocked for you. Didn't you try the door?"
The door… The one thing I forgot to actually check. I groaned. "Sorry, I forgot to check the door. Anyways, what are you doing on the floor?" I asked.
Wisp lay back down and rolled onto her side. "You know I like to sleep on the floor," she said, her voice muffled by her pillow.
I smiled. Wisp was a strange one, but that was one of the reasons why she was my best friend. I crawled into my bed, without our luggage I didn't have any pajamas to change into so I had to sleep in my current outfit. We had sent our luggage to the island first, then actually went to the island ourselves, so it was a mystery to us why our bags weren't here yet.
The next morning I woke up at exactly 9:37 AM. Wisp was still sound asleep on the floor. She must've pushed her covers off while she was asleep because you could now see her now legs. Her arms and legs were sprawled out and she looked a little bit like a starfish. I giggled at the thought and went over to the kitchen to make breakfast when I remembered that we didn't have any kitchen utensils. Going without breakfast was going to be hard, but I ignored my growling stomach and headed out the door with my rucksack over my shoulder. Once outside the house I grabbed the watering can, 10 bags of Turnip Seeds, and the hoe that Cain had given me. It all came with the "Farmer's Starter Kit" that he had given me.
With the hoe in my hands I tilled ten spots that were away from the other crops that were already there. I then planted the seeds and watered them and the rest of my crops. When I was done Wisp came out of the house. She yawned, her hair sticking up all over the place, and stumbled over to me.
"Mornin', Wolfy," she greeted.
"Morning Wisp! Have you taken your meds yet?" I asked.
She shook her head. "My meds are in our luggage. Is it here yet?" It was my turn to shake my head.
"No, sorry."
Wisp shrugged, then pulled her green bandana out of the pockets of her jeans and started to tie it on. "Guess I'll have to go without it then."
I turned back to my crops. "You go do that," I said.
Wisp's POV
I left Wolfy at her farm and started walking towards the Garmon Mines District. As I was walking over the bridge a loud rumble erupted from the sky. I looked up to notice that the clouds were now gathering together and they were a dark shade of gray. "I better be careful," I noted. "Looks like a storm is coming soon."
I continued my walk and finally walked into the Carpentry shop. Luke, Bo, and Floopy were all waiting for me.
"What took you so long, Wisp?" Luke asked.
"Sorry, I woke up kind of late," I replied.
Dale entered the room with a clipboard in hand. "Well if you're going to work here, you're going to need to get here by 7:00 AM," he said.
I almost choked on air. "7:00 AM?"
Luke nodded with that goofy grin on his face. "Yup!"
Dale rolled his eyes at Luke and went to work. "Alright guys, today Bo you're gonna' stay here and work on that chair that Shelly ordered."
Luke jumped up and down in complete excitement. "Ooo! Ooo! What about me?"
Dale looked at the list before replying. "Luke you're going to go chop some wood and we're going to need a lot of it; Coleen at the Ocarina Inn wants us to make two whole new bed frames, they say they're adding some more beds. And Floopy you're going to go around and ask if people want to order anything."
Floopy nodded her head. "Right."
I noticed that he hadn't addressed me yet. "Wait, what about me?" I asked.
Dale thought for a moment. Then he went to the back room and came back a minute later with a brand new axe in his hand. "You can go do some wood chopping with Luke. Here," he said.
He handed me the axe and I gripped the handle tightly. It was a bit heavy, but I managed. I smiled at Dale. "Sounds good."
Dale handed the clipboard to Floopy. "Kay guys, chop to it!" We all saluted and Bo ran into the depths of the carpentry while Luke, Floopy, and I went back outside. In the short time that I had been in there, it had started raining but now it was pouring. I turned to Luke and he shrugged.
"We still have to work, c'mon Wisp! It'll be fine!" Luke replied. Shoving my emotions of fear deep down, we started making our way toward the bridge. We were halfway across when all of a sudden, the waterfall started to pour harder and the river began to rise. It was so rocky that a wave started to form and it was really huge and IT WAS ABOUT TO CRASH DOWN ON US.
"RUN!" Luke cried. He grabbed my hand and started sprinting off the bridge. We safely landed on the other side. The water had gone back down now as the rain started to slowly subside.
I turned to Luke, my face and hair that wasn't covered by my bandana now soaked with rain. "Thank you for saving me Luke," I said. But Luke wasn't listening. He was frantically looking around.
"Wait? Where's Floopy?"
I looked toward the river and I was horrified to see a tiny blue head bobbing up and down in the water. "There she is!" I cried pointing at her. She started to get carried down the river.
Luke ran to the edge of the stone. He reached his hands out as if he could just grab her and pluck her right out of the water. "FLOOPY!" he cried.
Floopy's head bobbed in and out of the water and she tried to talk but water kept flowing into her open mouth. "It's okay… I'll be fine! I can swim! This river will stop eventually," she called as the river carried her away. I pulled Luke away from the edge of the river, afraid that he would fall in.
"C'mon Luke, let's just get to Fugue Forest," I said. Luke nodded silently and we continued our way to Fugue Forest.
At Fugue Forest we got straight to work. I easily chopped trees down along with Luke (and he was impressed with the fact that I actually could chop a tree). After a while we were tired and almost out of breath so we stopped and took a break.
"Hey, Wisp?" he asked.
"Ya?" I shoved a sandwich in my mouth.
"I think we've got enough wood!" Luke said. My eyes widened. I swallowed the food in my mouth and smiled at Luke.
"Hooray!" I cried, fist pumping the air.
"C'mon lets go transport this to the swamp," Luke said as he picked up a large pile of wood that was taller than him. The swamp? I thought, confusion quickly clouding my head.
Once we had transported all the wood to the swamp Luke explained. "See this river connects to the waterfall next to the carpentry shop and Floopy made a little thing that catches the wood after it falls down the waterfall and keeps it from floating away."
"Sounds cool!" I said. We put the wood in the swamp and watched as it carried the wood down the swampy water.
When all the wood was gone Luke said, "That looks like that's it. C'mon, let's go back!" I grabbed my axe and he grabbed his and we started to head back. We got to the door and tried to pull it open, but it wouldn't budge.
"That's weird," Luke mumbled. He tried the door, tugging it open with all his strength he had in him but it still didn't budge.
We looked at each other, realization dawning on our faces. "Uh oh!" we chorused.
Wolfy's POV
After I was done I decided to go visit Wizard.
So there I was inside his house while he was ignoring me and I was talking away.
"So Wizard, what do you like?"
He didn't reply at first so I repeated my question. "Wizard, what do you like?"
Wizard shrugged and replied without even looking at me. "Coffee."
I smiled. "Coming right up!" I replied. I started to walk toward the door and ignored Wizard's protests.
"Wait… you don't have too…"
I came back 15 minutes later with a hot cup of coffee in my hands. I had gotten it from the Ocarina Inn.
Wizard opened the door and his eyes widened when he saw what I held in my hands. "Is that…?"
I nodded and smiled at him. "Yup! I got it just for you! Here." I handed him the coffee and he eagerly drank it. For a moment there I thought I noticed a slight smile form on the edges of his lips but I ignored the thought. "Well see you later!" I said and started to walk away. I had to go to Horn Ranch to get my free cow.
Third Person POV
Later that night Wizard lay wide awake in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He groaned. "I shouldn't… have drank… that coffee from… Wolfy," he quietly said.
Floopy: So what do you think? I hope you liked it! Please R&R!
Luke: YES PLEASE DO!
*everyone laughs except for Wizard*
Wolfy: Bye!
