I walked up to the door that the lady at the front desk told me to go to. Walking up slowly, I opened the door and peeked my head inside.

A lady was sitting in a table, the only piece of furniture in the room if you didn't count the two chairs. I was guessing she worked for the police.

"Ah, you must be Akari. You don't have to be nervous, come in." She said, motioning me to sit on the other wooden chair.

I walking in, closing the door behind be, and cautiously walked up to the seat. Sitting down I asked, "So…what am I supposed to do?"

She smiled warmly, "I'm just going to have to ask you to tell us about what happened, the whole story. I'm going to be recording it," she pulled out a tape recorder.

"Everything?"

"Yes, everything. I know it'll be hard for you but, if you want us to lock him away for good, we need to know all the facts. No matter how little."

I gulped, "o-okay…where do you want me to start?"

She thought for a minute, "how about, you."

"Me?"

"Yes, who is Akari?"

"Who am I…"

I'm not the most exciting person, which I suppose is a good thing since I was living on not the most exciting island. It was still my home, though, all the same. I loved Waffle Island, even though there weren't actually any waffles on it,

I was adopted by Dale when I was just a baby. Dale always wanted a little girl, but he got Luke instead.

Don't get me wrong; Dale loves his son more then anything. But he always dreamed for a girl. And once his wife died, well, he was worried he would never get a daughter.

So he saved up his money and called this adoption centre who would only send me to him if he took in another kid, Bo.

So that's how he got me, a little 2 year old and her brother, not even a year old yet.


"So was there ever any problems in your…family?" she asked, interrupting.

"Hmm? No, I mean, just as much as any family."

She raised an eyebrow, "explain."


Well I mean, ever family has their issues.

There were three kids and one father; there were some days where we would drive him up a wall.

And with me being the only girl and Bo was the youngest out of the three of us, sure we had little competitions and fights. We all had our different personalities to, which probably didn't help anything.

Luke was the impulsive, enthusiastic and cheerful guy. He's rather dense, but you have to love him.

Bo is the quieter one, very cautious, but caring.

And I was the weird, joking, always laughing girl.

But we loved each other all the same.


"What about when you were older?"

"Older?" I asked, it was only the beginning and I was already getting annoyed at this lady for wanting to know so much.

She smiled at me, like I was slow or something, "yes, you know, did you have a job?"


Oh, ya I had a job.

Dale worked as a carpenter, so Luke and Bo went into that business as well. Luke like chopping down the trees, you know getting all the materials, and doing big projects like building houses. But Bo was more into building furniture.

I wasn't into all this stuff though, to many splinters. So I got the job of exports and imports on and off the island.

It was a really important job to, I think. If anyone wanted something ordered to the island, I would get it brought. And all the produce people would want to see off the island; well I would make sure that would happen.

It was mostly paperwork and phone calls.

And once a month the boat would come to bring all the stuff to and from the island, unless there was an emergency. And I would have to supervise that.

And on top of that, I got a nifty desk at the mayor's office.

I should probably tell you about the mayor. There's not much to say, really, though. There's mayor Hamilton, who's a little weird when you first meet him, but once you get to know him he really nice. And then there's his son Gill.


"His son you say," the lady said, looking at me weirdly.

"Uh, ya, that's what I said." I said, shifting around in my seat, she was making me uncomfortable.

"How old was his son?"

"A year older then me, why?"

"And you were in an office with him all day?"

"Ya, what are you getting at?"

"Was there ever any…romance?"

I laughed shortly, "romance with Gill?"

"What's so funny?"

"Well…"


"Hey Gilly!" I said as I bounced into the door.

"Hello Akari," he greeted me, not looking up from his paper.

I sat down in my seat, still smiling, until I looked down at my desk, "Ew, work."

Gill sighed, "That is commonly what one does at work Akari."

I sighed, "Ya but, there's so much of it! It's like a giant mountain of it!"

"Then I guess you better get to work then,"

"You'll be sorry if I die of a heart attack because of the stress of all this work." I said to him, my tone sounding a bit ticked off.

"Yes, how will I ever go on," his voice not changing.

"Hey Gilly?"

"Yes Akari?"

"CATCH!"

He looked up alarmed and saw the tomato being hurled at him. Putting his hands up defensively, he actually was able to catch it.

"That was the sissyest catch I've ever had to witness," I said, walking up to wear he was sitting.

"Yes-well-that-," he stuttered, trying to find a way out of being called a sissy. "SISSYEST ISN'T EVEN A WORD!" he yelled, pointing a finger accusingly at me.

I just smiled, "you know I love you right?"

He put his finger down and covered his face, but I could see that he was trying not to smile, "Akari…"

"Yes gill?"

"Thank you for the tomato."

"I know you love them."

"Oh and one more thing," he added.

"yeeeees?"

"Get back to work!"

this is it so far, it's rated M for thigs that are about to come. and your not supposed to TOTALLY get it yet, that's the point.

please comment, or Akari will throw a tomato at YOU!
