Chapter 2
The Development
I woke up the next morning pretty early which was kind of shocking, but never the less I got up to face the day. I was not going to lie I was pretty excited about me new life not matter how long this one would last me. Although I knew just how to start the day off and that was going around the town to take before pictures. This way it was documented and we would never forget where we started.
So I pulled on jeans and a short sleeved shirt that was green and grabbed my camera. As I walked into town there was a clam that I had never experienced before or at least in a long time. That was until I was tackled by Natalie
"HEY Rosie what you up to?" She asked me as she finally backed out of the hug
"Nothing just going to take some before pictures of the town and stuff" I told her with a smile
"Thats a great idea although we all should be in the pictures to, and we are going to start with my house before it get too far into the process of being done." with that she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards there new home, and there was everyone either on the roof or the ground working quite hard. I snapped a couple of pictures of them like that before me and Natalie announced that we were there. "hey grandpa Rose here will be taking some pictures of us and stuff."
"Nothing major really just some before pictures and stuff." I quickly added
"so if Natalie could just step over there next to Felicia and Taro, Elliot smile and wave on the roof there that should be good enough for now." I snapped a few shots of them all looking at me and smiling then a few of them working.
"Rose you should be in some pictures to" Felicia said "So hand the camera over and get in with Nat and I will take a few pictures with you in it." I did not want to be rude so I just smiled handed over my camera and stood there. She took many pictures of us smiling and then of us working.
"Well thank you guys I am going to take a few more pictures of just the buildings then my fields and stuff."
"Oh cool I will come with you then" Natalie told me as we both walked off. It took us about an hour to finish the town plus she wanted a few os us on the beach with her family then just me her and one with Elliot. After we headed back to her house to eat brefast since it was finally 8:00 in the morning.
"thank you guys for the wonderful food yet again" I told them as Natalie, Eliot, and I headed off to my farm to work on clearing the fields, actually Natalie insisted on taking pictures while Eliot was just there to lug all the wood back to their house or next to my house while I cleared my own fields.
"Really guys you don't need to do this" I said as Nat snapped like the millionth picture of me working in the fields.
"Don't worry about it I am basically done with pictures and we both have some wood now so we will be back in an hour or so for some more." Natalie laughed as she said this "honestly I have never seen a person this determined not to be in a picture or one who never lets anyone help! I mean do you always do things on your own?"
"umm yeah pretty much, now go I have work to do!"
"Okay, okay we are going now then, gosh." I laughed as I watched Nat and Elliot walk back to there house both with wood in hand. The truth was I worked better alone always have really. I think it was the silence that I enjoyed so much I never really got that as a little kid so I was always amazed at how peaceful things could be. I worked the rest of the day which mostly consisted of Nat or Elliot coming back and forth all day picking up more wood. By the time night fall came half of my field was basically cleared and the outside of Taros house just needed a few more nails and paint although the inside was another story entirely.
The next day I woke just as early as I did the other after I pulled on some shorts a gray shirt and a sweat shirt and walked out of my house to find Taro coming down the path.
"Oh hello Taro, what going on?" I asked him as he walked over to me
"Some new people will be arriving on the island any moment now so I though that I would come get you. We all should be there to greet them sense we are the ones who are starting this town up and all."
"Oh that sounds like a good idea let me go grab my camera hold on." I ran back into my house and quickly grabbed my camera from the table "ok I'm ready lets go."
"Very well Rose. We are all going to meet them at the beach."
"Ok cool, whats your plans for today sense the new family will need a house as well?"
"We figured that the left over wood that you still have from yesterday should be engouth for the inside of our house, but the rest you get should go to Chen's shop that he will be setting up."
"Ok sounds good to me then. Is it just Chen or does he have anyone else with him?"
"He has a son who I think is 7 or 8 now I have not seem them in sometime"
"Oh okay thats cool I love little kids they are always full of so much energy" I said as we entered the beach I saw that Nat and Elliot were already there. "Hey guys how are you this morning?"
"Exhausted grandpa here insisted that I get up at 4 in the morning, and God know why!" Nat spat
"okay so you are not in the best of moods then, and how are you Elliot?"
"I'm good, how did you sleep Rose?"
"I slept better tonight so it was good."
"Oh will you two just be quite the boat just docked." Nat said as she walked over to where Taro and Felicia were standing.
"We better follow her." Elliot said
"yeah okay"
"Chen, Charlie its nice to see you two again. I am happy you could join us." Taro said has two people got off of the boat. "You remember my family."
"Chen its nice to see you" Felecia said "Oh and this is Rose, she is the islands new farmer and quite a hard worker at that!"
I blush at this comment "Hello its nice to meet you guys" I gave them a small smile.
"Hello Rose its nice to meet you two I'm Chen." Chen replied. He looked like he was pretty young maybe 30 at the oldest. He had pitch black hair which he wore in a bun with a bandana kind of this across his forehead. He seemed to be a pretty nice guy. "This is my son Charlie"
"Hello mame" Charlie said as he walked over to where his dad was standing. He looked just like Chen with his pitch black hair and a bandana across his forehead like his father.
"Hello Charlie you may call me Rose, mame makes me feel older then I really am." I told him with a smile "Okay guys get together so I can take our picture please.
"Don't you want to be in the picture Rose?" Felecia asked me
"Oh no thank you I'm fine, now smile guys!" I quickly snapped a picture of them "thanks guys"
"Now onto find you guys a place, and for the rest of you get back to work." Taro informed us "Oh Rose come with us so you will know were to drop off the wood"
"Okay Taro sure thing"
Once Chen and Charlie picked out there shop location I went back to clearing my fields and Taro went to help his family work on the house. Every once in awhile Charlie would come to my farm for some wood or I would deliver some to them. The next few days went the same way until my field were finally clear and Taro's house was done along with Chen's shop. Chen gave me a few bags of seeds to help start out my farm, so just the second week I was there I was already growing a few rows of turnips, potatoes, strawberries, and some Cabbage. Within my third week there we finally got a builder who's name was Gannon he was extremely talitened and a very nice guy despite his scary looks. He was short although still taller then me he he not handsome and I'll leave it at that. He was strong to. He was kind engouth to break that rock blocking the second half of the town.
Once we got Gannon there Mirabelle moved to the island with her daughter Julia. They are just starting to work on an animal shop which will be a great help to me once its finished and they get an animal dealer there. Now Mirabelle was short almost as short as me she had blond hair and blue eyes and was just as nice as Felecia they became fast friends. Her daughter was extremely pretty she had long blond hair that was always in a ponytail, her eyes were blue just like her mothers. She was tall and always wore short shorts to show off her legs, she also had a layered tank-top with a small shirt over it tied together with boots. She was the kind of girl people wanted to be outgoing, funny, nice, and did not take no for an answer.
The island was growing fast.
