Ever since moving to pelican town, you’d found it rather easy to make friends with people. After all, you were friendly enough, and being nice to look at helped.

It was the poet who lived in the cabin by the beach who mostly caught your eye; his hair sparkled in the sun, ruffled by the wind as he stood out on the pier to watch the waves.

He was kind, too, often telling you that he understood what it was like to be ‘the new villager’- he was in that position just a year ago.

You’d been friends with Elliott for a couple weeks now, and you often stopped by his cabin to give him gifts he liked. Until today, you hadn’t encountered the spiders he’d warned you about.

That was, when one descended from the ceiling and landed right onto your head.

Elliott laughed, telling you to stay still and he’d take it outside. He didn’t want any harm to come to it- they were good for the ecosystem, as disgusting as you found them.

Though, it was rather hard not to freak out when there was a handsome man in front of you and a spider on your head.
