Animal Crossing: New Leaf ~ Berling

Chapter 1 - Moving Away

Somehow, I was moving, again. I was the mayor of a spectacular town named Sunville; it was by this time, a tourist destination. But, before moving, I thought and I thought, I imagined my secretary lost, because I wasn't there anymore. Something told me... To begin once more... That thing led me to a new little town... Berling.

"Ok Francine, I think that's the last box..." I sighed silently. Francine was helping me pack everything into the train. Although she would miss my presence, she accepted my decision to move out. As I gave my neighbors one last good-bye, I came across Frank. He said, in a deep tone, "I hope you find happiness in your new town..." I stared at him, I felt bad for my sudden decision. And to think, this was all happening because of a "thing" that was kind of... speaking to me. I said bye to Frank, I also went by town hall, and all the stores. I headed to the train, I got on and I left, looking through the window, I saw Francine waving me goodbye. She was the only one that really supported me through everything.

Berling was far away from Sunville. I was on the train for about three or four hours. I wasn't carrying much, just the basics, a few shirts, pants and a small sleeping bag. I wondered what would happen when I arrived at Berling. Suddenly, the conductor's voice came on through the speaker, "Berling: about 15 minutes away." I nervously waited for a quarter of an hour, and then the train departed at the station, in Berling.
