Entry 9 - Overslept

~~~Again...I apologize for cutting it last night. One moment I was writing and the next thing I knew, it was daytime. I must have slept in, sheesh. No wonder there's a big, random line on that page. I must have accidentally let the pen let loose on the paper...

I decided to stay home today, and Miyu's just downstairs, can you believe it? She was wondering what was wrong with me since I haven't came out of the house even after noon, and when I explained I overslept (I didn't give her the reason), she just began cooking my lunch. Strange, but at least I get to avoid cooking for myself for awhile.

I still have my no named goldfish right in front of me you know, it's just so hard to consider a name for the little guy; it just swims around a lot in the fish bowl. Don't worry, I bought some fish food from Tom Nook yesterday (yes, he has fish food). I don't know where exactly he gets this kind of stuff, or even where he gets the money, but he's rich, that's the only thing I can say. He probably has the whole village eating the palm of his hand since he's the only shop in the entire area that actually sells furniture, food and all those essential stuff...except clothes. The Mable Sisters take care of that.

Oh...wait a sec. Miyu's calling me for lunch, which feels very odd. It's like she's my mother calling me down from my room...

Okay, let me start. I apologize, again for leaving you for the whole day. Ah well, it gives me more things to write to you right Tomo?

I visited the Mable Sisters again after I ate my meal with Miyu, and it was a quiet lunch, which felt really awkward. At the middle of it, I did give her around 400 bells from what I had, so I have to pay her 18,000 more. *sigh*

Sable seemed to have opened up a little more to me today for some reason, she told me a story about how they started, and...yeah. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, but it's amazing how they got to survive on their own, with only each other to depend on. I probably won't last a day by myself out there in the real world; in FreeSky I'm safe but...I still wonder how I ever ended up here. The only map I could find was the map of the village itself, and when I asked Tortimer, the mayor of FreeSky town about it, he didn't respond. I don't know though whether he was simply keeping it from me or he didn't know either. I got a little suspicious about that, but he didn't budge, so I chose to ask at another time.

It's still snowing here, almost as if every day. I tried to make another snowman again, and you know what he said when I finished him?

"Close, but not close enough brat! You don't have any talent in this don't ya?"

You couldn't imagine how much I wanted to punch his face. Yet I didn't, simply because Miyu and a few other villagers were nearby. If I was alone, there wouldn't be a snowman there by sunset.

Chief also approached me awhile ago, and asked if we could have a fishing competition, I didn't know why he even asked, but I agreed. He said we have to catch a Barbell Steed, whoever caught it first won, and then he ran. Funny how I forgot to tell him I already caught one earlier today and I haven't sold it to him yet. I just waited a bit before finding him; you should've seen the look on his face. Priceless. "H-how did you get it so quickly?" those were his words to me, then he coughed up 500 bells, took the fish and left. Hah, I don't think he'll be challenging me any time soon.

Robin also came up to me not long ago, asking for...a shirt. She's claimed she was running out of shirts to wear, plus she was broke from saving up all her money to buy this really expensive furniture. I couldn't simply ignore her, so reluctantly; I gave her the extra shirt I was given by the village. Robin's face lit up after that, and paid me back with a blue wardrobe...of course in the shape of a leaf. Of course I accepted the gift and tried it back at my house, it's actually a nice piece of wood, and now it's just sitting there on the lower floor, with a Ptera right wing fossil inside of it. Yeah...again, the laws of nature have been defied again in this village. Fortunately I'm getting a little more used to it. I wouldn't be surprised anymore if you could keep twenty pieces of furniture in a single cabinet simply 'cuz they shrink into leaves. See..? You just have to face it, not deny it.

Before I got back to the house for the night, Miyu brought me to the museum again, but this time brought me to Bruster's Cafe. You know the one I told you about before with the coffee and such..? He wasn't alone in the cafe though, I saw K.K. Slider there again. I haven't totally described as to how I met the dog, but I met him here too the first time. He seems to play here every Saturday night; that's something I can add to my schedule of daily things. His songs, as I said are really original and human or not, are nice to listen to. That's my opinion anyway, and Miyu's too. She looks like she adores the dog actually.

I still miss my parents, but I can't keep bringing the past up to hinder me all the time. Someday, I will find a way to get back, but for now, I might as well enjoy this peaceful place as much as I can...

Tomo...I really need a name for my goldfish. Can I just call him Gold? At least he has a name. Okay, let's settle with that. Unless you have a better idea. No..? Then his name would be Gold then.

-Did the fish just...smile?* Shouta 12/12

A/N : Yay~ an update. The entries seem to get shorter and shorter...hm...that's not good. I better think of something soon. And yeah, I didn't know what to do with that little goldfish, so I decided to name him Gold. Reminds me of Pokemon. XD

Please review~
