Miffix got up from the sand. Today was the new day, even though she still wanted to sleep she got up from the grassy banks of Bass'Ken Lake and looked about. She saw the fishers on the piers chatting away. She watched as they caught anything from trash cans to bass.
She ran into the fishing store. "CAN I PLEASE HAVE A ROD!!?" she shouted, desperately wanting to join the fishers. A bearded man in goggles leapt from his seat in surprise.
"Calm down miss! What type would you like?" he inquired, dealing with her as though she were a high-wired Jack Russel Terrier.
"Something not too expensive please?" a basic rod was shown to her. It looked primitive, but its sanded length fit smoothly into her hands at least.
"100 gold... and I'll throw in a can of bait for 25 gold," he held out the offer to her with a sweep of his glove. Miffix nodded and payed the gold to him. "Oh, and there are some things you might like to try on over there," the fisherman pointed, and as he pleasantly tossed it into his money stash, she burst out the door in fishing gear he had let her borrow. She took place by herself on a lonely perch.
Fishing was wonderful! At first she only got garbage in the lake of Bass'Ken, but then, OH A GUPPY! she reeled them in enthusiastically, staring with gleaming eyes when she caught several bass. She was not very good, but boy was she enjoying herself. Then she entered a pier with some others, the one place by herself becoming too lonely for fun.
The group that Miffix sat with was a great bunch, exchanging conversation between catches of guppies and bass. Ruin, a boy with auburn hair and big blue eyes, sat near Miffix. Next to Miffix was Jose, who had fox ears that perked high as he cast his rod. Then there was Freak, who was quite a fashionable looking woman with sharp eyes and a forehead jewel, and then there was Forest, who had the most awesome spiked hair. They talked and talked about how Ruin should get a red forehead jewel, what he should do to make himself look cool, Miffix jumped in on conversation and they joked, rubbing their yellow guppies for good luck, Jose playing around like a lady killer with Miffix and Freak.
Miffix saw the time, and had it flew... she felt awful about going, so she made sure she knew all their adresses for further contacting. The happy girl ran off with her catch of mostly guppies, totalling out the profits in her head. A profit of 35 gold. Not bad! She smiled. Boy what the day!
