The Terrible Secret of New Leaf - Part 2
The moment I stepped into town, things were already strange. I was greeted by a monkey, wearing a little station attendant outfit. He gave me a close-lipped smile.
"Why hello there! You must be the mayor!"
It was surreal, seeing a monkey talk to me. It was just a little odder, because of how barely human-like he was.
"I'm Porter. Feel free to ask me any questions about your transportation needs!"
He snorted out a laugh at the end. I will always hate that fucking laugh.
Before I could even say anything, I was bum-rushed by the crowd. A group of animals, all surrounding me and cheering. It was disorienting. They all gathered around to shake my hand and hug me and cheer for their new mayor. I was like the savior to them or something.
That's when she popped out of the crowd. If only I had known right then. If only...I could have done something.
A short, yellow shih tzu wearing a modest dress panted, as if she had done a lot of running to get here. She straightened out her dress before looking up at me, blushing and smiling.
"Oh! It's so nice to finally meet you, Ms.Mayor. My name is Isabelle! I'll be your assistant, here to help you with pretty much anything you need."
I shook her hand. She was even softer than Rover.
"First things first, we should hold a ceremony to welcome the new mayor, and the naming of the town!"
I looked around at all the strange animals staring at me, with baited breath.
"This isn't the ceremony?"

About ten minutes later, there was an arbitrary ribbon cutting, some confetti thrown about, and the town was born. New Leaf. I didn't think of the name, but I wouldn't change it. It's special to me now.
It's probably the only thing I wouldn't change about this fucking town.
