Chapter Text
It was Winter and it was snowing. Luke, one of the local carpenters, was chopping trees in The Fugue Forest. It wasn't only for the customers, it was also for his family. He was gathering wood for a fire.
Then his daughter, Lucy, joined him.
She was only chopping logs and stumps. Her father did the other tasks.
'"Why can't I chop trees, as well?" Lucy asked.
She was in a white undershirt, dark skin purple shirt, shoes in three shades of purple, a white bandana with purple flowers, purple hair, purple eyes and golden earrings.
Her father smiled. "You're allowed when you're older."
Luke was in his Winter clothes, a red undershirt and black and green jacket, brown shoes, a blue and white bandana, blue hair, brown gloves yellow eyes and blue jeans,.
Then, Selena, Lucy's mother, went over.
"How's my daughter and my husband?" Selena asked.
Selena was in also in her Winter clothes, also dark skin, a green blue and black dress, black shoes, a frilly black necklace, in a golden ponytail thread purple eyes and long red hair.
Sue, Lucy's grandmother, Samson, Lucy's grandfather, and Dale, Lucy's other grandfather and Bo, Luke's friend arrived, as well.
"Hello, my young granddaughter!'" said Sue.
"Yeah, hello!" said Samson.
"Are you in training to be a carpenter, still?" Dale asked.
"Yeah!" Lucy said.
"Awesome!" said, Bo elated.
"And are you still thinking of running Toucan Inn when you're older?" asked Sue.
"I thought we were letting her to dance," Samson whispered.
"We are," Sue whispered "In fact, I should like that Selena and Lucy should dance for us right now!"
"Yeah!" said Lucy, once more.
"I still don't like it, much," Samson said.
Another lady was in the shadows of the trees, brooding, The Witch. She was in a black shirt and black hat, brown poofy shorts, brown nylons, black heels, long silver hair and orange eyes.
But before Lucy was considered for carpentry, inn-training, and dancing, Lucy's parents had to marry.
This is that story!

It was Winter, not long ago. Selena arrived on Waffle Island. It was especially chilly for her, since she grew up on the tropical Island, Toucan Island. It was her first time on Waffle Island, so she decided to explore.
"My parents are such jerks!" said she as she remembered what happened before she left.
And a lot was leftover.
She wandered into Fugue Forest. She had heard that a witch lived in the forest and that two lumberjacks often cut down trees for wood there.
Selena heard somebody yell, "Timber!"
She saw from a distance two lumberjacks were the ones responsible.
"Please remove the stump, Luke!" said Bo, a lumberjack. "I'm not strong enough, yet!"
"Okay, Bo!" said the other, Luke. "You'll get stronger with practice."
"Well, that's our quota, today," said Bo. "We'll leave to home."
All at once, a woman appeared from the trees.
"Stop cutting down trees in my woods!" said she.
"You mean your 'neck of the woods'?" Luke grinned.
"BANISHMENT!" said woman as she pointed at them.
The two men raced out of the forest, quickly.
Then, the woman also saw Selena.
"THE SAME IS FOR YOU!" she said.
Selena went away, as well.
Then, all three were outside of the forest.

Selena bumped into Luke once they were out. Luke caught her.
Selena looked into his eyes and Luke looked into hers. He let her down.
They both blushed.
"What were you trying to accomplish in the woods?" Luke asked. "It is dangerous in there!"
"Why were you two in there, if it's dangerous?" Selena asked.
"We need wood!" said Bo. "It's our job!"
Selena laughed. "Ha! Wood. Ha!"
Bo went red in the face, although this was from embarrassment, rather than attraction.
Luke frowned. "Chopping trees is serious business! What do you do for a living?"
Selena twirled around. "I dance for a living!"
Bo laughed.
"It's not funny!" said Selena.
"I think it's awesome!" Luke fist bumped the air.
"If you like it, we may dance together!" Selena said.
Then, they started to dance! It was a quick dance.
Selena grinned. "I was hoping somebody liked my dancing! I'm from Toucan Island, and my clothes are for dancing and warm climate! It's a bit cold, here, though!"
Luke stared at her. Bo nudged Luke.
"Time to leave!" said Bo.
"Oh!" Luke said as he realized. "I guess we will return to my father's carpentry business!"
"Bye!" Selena waved.
"Goodbye!" said Luke, also waving.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bo and Luke arrived at the carpentry. Dale, Luke's father was there.
"Where were you both all that time?" Dale asked.
Luke had a dreamy look in his eye.
Bo snapped a finger.
"Oh, Bo!" said Luke. "You're still here."
"What is up with him?" Dale pointed with his thumb.
"He's in love, or something else," Bo said.
It was Luke's turn to be embarrassed. "It's not like that, at all!"
"'Bout time you found someone!" Dale said with glee. "What is her name?"
"Selena!" said Luke, dreamingly.
Dale frowned. "That woman is in trouble for not accepting her family's business. She's supposed to be running the Toucan Inn. Instead, she wishes to be a dancer."
Luke matched his frown. "She is a wonderful dancer! And she should follow her dreams!"
"Well. It's none of our business," said Dale. "But, as long as you, Luke, help around the carpentry and do not disrespect your own duties, I don't mind."
A metaphorical light switch went from Luke. "It's decided! I'll help Selena with her family!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Luke arrived at Toucan Island. And a ways away, saw Selena.
"Why are YOU here?!" they asked each other.
"I'm here to help reunite you with your parents!" said Luke.
"Me, as well," said Selena. "Only, I expect them to return to their senses."
"Then I'll agree with you," said Luke.
Together, they went inside the inn.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Pineapple Inn on Toucan Island was
A woman, Sue, and Selena's mother, was at the counter. She was surprised!
"Selena?!" Sue asked.
A man, Samson, and Selena's father approached.
"You're here to apologize?" Samson asked.
"No!" said Selena. "I'm here to allow YOU to apologize!"
"Selena we don't care if you want to dance," said Samson. "We want you to run the inn, as well."
"I want to DANCE!" said Selena. "I'm leaving! Again!"
"But Selena!" said Sue.
"Listen," said Selena. "How about I work at the inn if my dancing career fails?"
The parents looked at each other.
"I suppose," said Sue.
"Okay," said Samson. "Only, your mother and I wanted to go on a vacation to another island, soon. We need somebody to watch over the inn until we've returned."
"Mr. Samson. Mrs. Sue. How about I run the inn, instead?" Luke asked.
"You'd carry out my job for me?" Selena asked.
"Yeah!" said Luke. "I'll totally help!"
Selena grinned. "I appreciate that!"
Selena was about to weave. "Follow me home?" she asked Luke.
"There's something I want to ask Luke in private, Selena," said Sue.
Sue, Samson and Selena went to another room.
"I'm worried that our daughter is no longer on a tropical island," said Sue. "There's Winter on Waffle Island! And she only wears Sumner clothing!"
Luke had another idea!
"You grow Pineapples and Bananas on Toucan Island, right?" Luke asked.
"Yeess?" asked Samson.
"Well, their bark is especially for sewing clothes!" said Luke. "I might be able to chop a few and create clothing with them!"
Samson and Sue were elated!
"Good idea!" said Samson.
"We'd adore that!" said Sue.
Then, Luke left the room.
"What was that about?" Selena asked.
"It's a surprise!" Luke grinned.
Selena was about to leave the island. Luke stopped behind her.
"Luke?" Selena asked.
"I'm won't return to Waffle Island with you," said Luke. "It's about the surprise."
"Okay," said Selena as she shrugged. She whispered. "I'll accomplish a surprise, as well."
Then, Selena left for Waffle Island.

Selena went all the way to the carpentry and got an axe. Then, she traveled to Fogue Forest, once more.
"Since Luke helped me with my job, I'll help him with his!" Selena said to herself.
She decided to cut a tree.
Then, out of nowhere, The Witch appeared!
"THIS IS MY FOREST!" she said.
Selena was surprised!
"I know you are from Toucan Island! I'll send you there and hide you in a grove of banana trees!" said The Witch.
Selena went flying threw the air, on a boat and onto the island! She was trapped in a grove of trees.
"GOOD RIDDANCE!" said The Witch with a wicked grin.
Then, Selena was trapped with no escape! She stood there, awaiting rescue.

Luke spent the day at the inn, but no one arrived. It appeared that nobody should check in because the island was out of the ways.
"We will have more customers soon," said Sue. "It's Winter on Waffle Island, which means guests should soon visit since we're a tropical island."
Samson entered the room. "It's night. You're off duty."
"I'll get the materials to sew Selena a dress!" said Luke.
Then, Luke left.
To cut down banana trees.

Luke found some trees he liked. He was about to cut it, when he heard a voice.
"Help me!" Selena called.
"Selena?!" Luke asked in surprise.
"I'm behind the trees!" Selena said.
Luke cut a tree in such a way, it shouldn't hit either him, nor Selena.
Selena went from the trees! She hugged Luke.
"Oh, Luke!" Selena said.
"How'd that happen?" Luke asked.
Selena explained everything.
"We need to return to Fogue Forest! The Witch will not allow you to chop trees, at this rate!" Selena said in warning.
"I wish I should disagree, but you're right," said Luke. "And I want to tell her to apologize to you!"
"Let's leave!" said Selena.
They were about to leave, but Luke stopped to pick up some bark.
"Another surprise?" asked Selena.
"Yeah!" said Luke.
Then, they left for the forest on Waffle Island.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They knocked on the door to The Witch's Hut.
"GO AWAY!" a voice said.
"Witch!" Luke said. "We have something to tell you!"
A latch was heard and The Witch appeared from the door.
"I'm listening," she said.
"We're angry that you harmed Selena!" said Luke.
The Witch scoffed. "I only banished her to her Island."
"Because I tried to cut a tree!" said Selena.
"In my forest!" said The Witch.
"Please, Miss Witch!" said Selena. "I don't need wood, but it's Luke's livelihood!"
The Witch thought. "Okay. But only for his job!"
Luke fist bumped the air! "I appreciate the help, Selena!"
Then, they each went to their separate homes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One day, Selena went to the forest on Waffle Island, which was where Luke was.
"Luke!" she said as she saw him. "I wanted to ask you something!"
"Me, as well!" said Luke, as he showed her a dress.
"This is for you, Selena!" he said as he presented it to her.
"It's what I needed!" said Selena. "This'll keep me warm! You bought this at Sonata Tailoring?"
"Nope!" said Luke. "I sewed it, myself! I wanted it to be special!"
Selena smiled. "I'm unsure of what to say."
"Say you'll marry me?" asked Luke.
"That's what I wanted to ask!" said Selena. "I'll marry you!"
Then, The Witch appeared to them. "Are we friends, now?"
Selena and Luke stared at her.
"Um, yes?" Luke asked, awkwardly.
"Good!" said The Witch. "Because I've always wanted to attend a wedding. And witches and wizards only attend weddings during the night. I've always been busy."
Luke and Selena looked at each other.
"Sure!" said Selena.
Then, they were married!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone gathered around Lucy.
"Mom. Dad. My grandparents. Miss Witch," she said. "I want to dance! And cut trees! And work at the inn! May I accomplish all of them?"
Everybody exchanged glances.
"Yes!" said everybody.
Lucy danced with glee!
Then, Lucy went in training for all three jobs!
