Chapter One: Moving
Rumors spread quickly around town. That’s how it always was. Rumors about the mayor, however, were always the most frequent.
Marcie, however, was quite possibly one of the most concerned. She had just met the mayor about a month ago, and was wondering where her friend went.
“Marcie!!” yelled Apple. The peppy hamster ran over to her friend. “Ohmigosh, I just heard the scariest story from Rocco!! He just said that our mayor has moved out! What will Pine do without her?” Tears in her eyes, the dramatic hamster started to sob a little.
“Apple…” whispered Marcie in her sympathetic voice, “I’m sure our mayor will come back safe and sound. It was only a little vacation, that’s all.” She patted the hamster on the back in a motherly way. It was natural of Marcie to be like that; she was a mother of her own; she had a little joey, who looked just like her mother.
Rocco’s rumors, however, seemed to become more like facts as the days passed on. Marcie was very scared. Scared for her friend. She may have not known the mayor too well before she left, but she still got to know her at least a little bit. And all friends mattered to Marcie, regardless of how big or small their friendship is.
Marcie decided it was time to search for the mayor.
She ran into the town hall and informed Isabelle that she was moving.
“Oh!” said Isabelle. “You’re moving? That’s a shame. But, I’m sure you will love your new town, too! Who knows, maybe they have some lovely villagers there just like ours, or maybe even another dog secretary, like me! Good luck, Marcie! I’ll inform Tom Nook of your decision and he will help you move!”
“Thank you for understanding, Isabelle.” Marcie waved goodbye to the dog for the last time and walked back home.
She knew she was going to have to give up some of her stuff. She gathered her joey’s toys, some blankets, clothes, some oranges from the local trees, 5,00 bells, and placed them all in a box.
It was time for her to move.
By the time she walked to the train station, Tom Nook was already there.
“My goodness! It’s Marcie! So good to see you, yes yes?” exclaimed Tom Nook. “Ah, but I heard that you are leaving Pine for good. So sad to hear that, yes yes. I’ve already planned to demolish your house tonight. Are you certain that you have everything with you, Marcie?”
“Yep!” said Marcie, carrying the box with all of her stuff as her joey hopped behind her. “I have everything!”
“I assume you’ve already said goodbye to everyone in town, yes yes?”
“Yes, I’ve said goodbye to everyone, but you, Tom Nook. Thank you for everything. I won’t ever forget everyone!”
“Good luck, Marcie! May you find a lovely town to move into!”
“Thank you, Tom Nook!” Marcie waved goodbye.
“Bye bye!” squeaked her little joey.
The two kangaroos waited patiently for the train to arrive. It was starting to get late. Marcie felt a little nervous. Wasn’t the train gonna arrive any second now?
Just as she felt nervous, a train arrived. It came to a stop and the two of them walked inside and hopped onto a seat. There was no one else on the train, except for the conductor.
There was what looked like a schedule taped on the walls of the train in between the windows. Marcie examined it as her joey hugged her little bear toy. “Let’s see here…” she muttered to herself. “This looks like a list of the other towns that this train is going to stop at. It says it’s supposed to arrive at Pine at 8:00 pm today, which means it’s 8:00 now…hmm, it’s going to some town called Garden at 8:10, and then at 8:20 it’s going to another town called Winter…and at 8:30 it’s going to a town called The Void.” Marcie cocked her head out of confusion. Who’d name a town ‘The Void’? It certainly sounded interesting. Perhaps the mayor took a vacation there! She decided that once when the train stopped, she would visit The Void, maybe she’d even camp there! If The Void wasn’t the town with her friend, she’d simply go on another train and go into another town.
Marcie glanced at her joey. She was settling down for a nap. Marcie smiled and took a blanket out of the box, and rested it on her and her joey. She decided to fall asleep…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF GARDEN. EVERYONE GOING TO GARDEN MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
Startled awake, Marcie looked around. Her joey, not to her surprise, was awake now, too. “What’s happening?” asked the joey.
“It’s only an announcement. The train will start moving again very soon. It won’t be much longer until we get to our new town, I promise!” Marcie picked up her little joey and placed her on her lap. Her joey giggled a little and started to try to fall asleep again. Marcie rested the blanket on the two of them again and let her fall back asleep…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF WINTER. EVERYONE GOING TO WINTER MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
Awoken once again, Marcie opened her eyes. Her joey awoke too, but seemed a little more annoyed. “Again?” muttered her baby.
“Hush, my joey,” whispered Marcie in a soothing voice, “The next stop will be at our new town. It will be worth the wait, I can tell already!”
The two fell back asleep when…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF THE VOID. EVERYONE GOING TO THE VOID MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
“This is it!” exclaimed Marice. She put the blanket and the toy back into the box, and picked up the box. “C’mon!”
Her joey excitedly hopped off of the seat and walked with Marcie. The little family walked out of the train and took their first step into The Void.
Immediately, something was terribly wrong.
