It's a Wild World [Animal Crossing fanfic]

A Journey in the Rain

I awoke to the pitter patter of rain outside, the splash of the tires as they ploughed through the puddles and the sound of an overly cheerful taxi driver who appeared to have been talking for a while...had he noticed I was asleep?
"Mornin'!" said the driver in a heavily accented, cheerful voice that I had gotten to know within the last few minutes, and as he turned his head I noticed he was in fact a frog!
"So what be ya name then laddie?" He asked.
"Oh- uh- TJ..." I responded, still slightly dazed.
"Ah TJ, what a fine name that is, so, where be ya headed?"
I racked my brains, trying to remember the name, "Erm Mellow Heights...I think".
"Ah I know Mellow Heights meself, was only a wee boy when me ma took me there for a seaside trip..." he continued reminiscing about the time his 'ma' took him there on a sea side trip while I took to gazing out the window, watching the raindrops trickle down the glass as if they were racing each other.
"'Tis a cryin' shame this rain won't let up wouldn't ya say?" He raised his voice
I simply nodded, not feeling in the mood to converse any more with this overly enthusiastic frog-driver.

[A few minutes later]

"Well, we be here TJ...and would ya look at that, the rains let up too!"
I politely thanked him, and as I stepped out of the taxi, my mouth fell open into the biggest gasp I had ever taken...
