Hey, guys! This is a new comedy that I'm writing. I hope that you enjoy it!
Season 1, Episode 1: The New Mayor[A yellow dog named Isabelle, a stuffed bear named Stitches, a wolf named Fang, and a squirrel named Blaire are gathered near a train station. They all look excited. They seem like they're waiting for someone.
The sound of a train running on tracks is heard.]
Isabelle: That must be the mayor!
[A kid walks out of the train station.]
Stitches: It's the mayor!
[Isabelle, Stitches, Fang, and Blaire each welcome the kid and introduce themselves. They address the kid as the mayor. The kid looks confused.]
Kid: Hi... I'm David....
Isabelle: Again, welcome to Anvil, mayor!
David: ...I'm supposed to be in the Kanto region...
Fang: Dang it. It's another confused Pokémon trainer.
Isabelle: Yeah....
[Blaire yells.]
Blaire: Kapp'n!
[A green turtle, who is Kapp'n, walks out of the train station after his name is called.]
Kapp'n: Yar!
Blaire: Why do you keep confusing Kanto and Anvil?
Kapp'n: Their names are so similar!
[Blaire stares at Kanto for a moment.]
Blaire: How?
[Kapp'n stares at the sky for a moment. He seems to be thinking.]
Kapp'n: They both have five letters...
[Blaire stares at Kapp'n for a moment.]
Blaire: You're stupid.
David: So, am I going to go to Kanto?
Isabelle: Well, you know, we need a mayor, and, well... You seem like you're mayor material.
David: But I'm not even supposed to be the mayor.
[Isabelle walks up to David and whispers.]
Isabelle: To be honest, we don't even have a mayor coming. In fact, we've been standing here for weeks waiting for the "mayor" to come. I'm surprised I haven't gone insane. I'm also surprised that no one has questioned if a mayor really
is coming.
Stitches: I'm starting to wonder if a mayor really
is coming. You'd think that a mayor wouldn't make us wait weeks for him to come.
[Isabelle turns to Stitches.]
Isabelle: This is why I always tell you not to think, Stitches. You always have the dumbest thoughts.
[Stitches frowns. Isabelle turns to David and starts whispering again.]
Isabelle: Stitches isn't usually this observant.
[David whispers to Isabelle.]
David: I guess that standing in the same place for a few weeks can really change a person.
Fang: I'm tired of waiting! I don't care who the mayor is! Just have the kid be the mayor!
Blaire: Yeah! Be the mayor, David!
[David turns to the animals.]
David: I don't really want to be the mayor. Besides, I'm not even qualified.
[Isabelle yells.]
Isabelle: All right! Take out your axes, everyone!
[David looks worried.]
David: Fine! I'll be the mayor!
[Isabelle smiles.]
Isabelle: Perfect! Follow me!
[Isabelle walks to the town hall; David follows her.]
Stitches: Hold on. Do any of us even own axes–
[Fang puts his hand over Stitches' mouth.]
[David and Isabelle arrive at the town hall. They both walk inside. The town hall has a wooden counter; behind that counter is another wooden counter, behind which is the mayor's chair.]
David: Would it even be legal for you guys to attack me with your axes?
Isabelle: No, but we don't have any cops, so we wouldn't get into any trouble.
[David is scared of Anvil now.]
David: ...Okay.... So, what should I do?
Isabelle: Well, we've already set up a house for you, so you should just take a day off and move in.
David: I think that I'll work on raising money to build a police station.
Isabelle: You're required to take the day off.
David: Well, then, I might as well go to my house and unpack my stuff.
[David realizes that he doesn't have his suitcase.]
David: ...I think a cat on the train stole my suitcase...
Isabelle: You mean Rover?
David: Yeah. That's his name.
Isabelle: Rover would never do that. He's too kind.
David: Then I must've lost my suitcase.
[Isabelle laughs. David looks confused.]
David: What's so funny?
Isabelle: I was joking! You would never guess this, but Rover's actually the most wanted thief in this area! We don't have any cops, though, so we can't arrest him.
[David gets even more scared of Anvil.]
David: Can I please work on making a police force and a prison?
Isabelle: You have to wait until you get a development permit, which you can't work on until tomorrow.
David: I'm the mayor now. I should be able to do whatever I want.
Isabelle: Don't question my actions.
David: Don't question my power. I can demote you to a citizen if I want to.
Isabelle: No, you can't.
[David stares at Isabelle for a moment.]
David: I really don't have much power, do I?
Isabelle: Nope.
[David realizes that this town's name, "Anvil," is somewhat strange.]
David: Why is this town named "Anvil," anyways?
Isabelle: It's supposed to be "Animal Village," but the town's name can't be more than eight characters long.
David: Why didn't you name it Aniville?
Isabelle: Because the scriptwriter's trying to force a joke.
[David stares at Isabelle for a moment.]
David: Scriptwriter?
Isabelle: Yeah. You're a fictional character. The scriptwriter even named you after himself.
David: ...I don't know why, but the fact that I'm a fictional character lowers my self-esteem.
Isabelle: That's because you didn't earn any of your achievements. They were all just made up.
David: But I don't have any achievements.
Isabelle: ...Wow. You really aren't qualified to be the mayor.
David: Yeah...
Isabelle: Enough with breaking the fourth wall. I have to give you a tour of the town before you take your day off!
David: You know someone shouldn't be the mayor when you have to give them a tour of the town that they're the mayor of.
Isabelle: Just shut up and follow me.
[David and Isabelle walk outside. Isabelle gives David a tour of Anvil. I'm too lazy to write about most of the tour, though.
...Yes, I just admitted that I'm a lazy writer.]
[Isabelle and David are standing outside a white museum.]
Isabelle: This is the Anvil Museum!
David: Can I check it out?
Isabelle: Don't bother. It's empty.
[David stares at Isabelle for a moment.]
David: Why?
Isabelle: Because Blathers, the lazy owl who sleeps all day –
[Isabelle is interrupted by Blathers, the lazy owl who sleeps all day.]
Blathers: But I'm awake all night!
[David and Isabelle are startled by the sudden interruption.]
Isabelle: Blathers seems to wake up whenever someone mentions how he sleeps. Anyways, he relies on donations from this town's citizens, which isn't good, because no citizen in this town knows how to use any tools at all.
David: So basically, I'm going to have to fill up the museum?
Isabelle: Pretty much.
[Five minutes pass. Isabelle and David are standing in front of the town hall.]
Isabelle: And that concludes our tour of Anvil.
David: That was a pretty short tour.
Isabelle: Yeah. That's why we're relying on you to start many public work projects.
David: Seriously, did you guys just tear down every building before I got here? I've seen deserted islands with more buildings.
Isabelle: Have you ever even been to a deserted island, or were you just trying to crack a joke in an attempt to become the audience's favorite character?
[David stares at Isabelle. He is annoyed by the fact that Isabelle knew exactly what he was trying to do.]
David: As the mayor, I command you to stop breaking the fourth wall!
Isabelle: Can't do that.
[David sighs in annoyance.]
David: I hate this town.
Blaire: What?
