All Around the Island, Monday Morning
Another week was upon Fandom, and a new day was dawning. But it wasn't just any week on the island, or for the island. Yet another fall semester was beginning up at the school, marking a familiar re-starting point in the cycle of life on Fandom island, and this time, for whatever reason...
It had the island itself feeling a little bit nostalgic.
And so, in the early morning, when the first member of staff came to the Perk to get the day started, he was greeted not only by every usual pre-opening task that awaited him, but also a strange scene that played out near the order counter. The interior looked different there, for one thing, harkening back to design choices of an earlier, just barely past Y2K era. And then a customer showed up at the counter in a Fall Out Boy t-shirt and an old school Nokia phone in hand, and the girl behind the counter fumbled with the change a little, and apologized, because it was her first day --
And then they were both gone, and the counter and everything around it were back to a 2025 normal. The present-day barista blinked, but barely had any time to process, before one of his colleagues came in through the back, excitedly announcing he now had a taste and apparently it was cactus flower!
All across the island - the school, the dorms, the town - people were waking up to a new day, new flavors (unless they happened to have been here in 2012, and happened to taste the same), and the possibility of old memories playing out right before their eyes.
And the island, with its nostalgia trip through old favorites, was just getting started.
