It was a dark, dreary night in Kuchi Village, a small town in the country of TamaTown. Pearl the Memetchi's mother instructed her before she left her home, "Bring this bag of GotchiPoints to King Peter please and be back within the hour!" "Yes mother," said Pearl, and she set off bravely. Now was not a good time for a young Tama to be out but Pearl hurried down the path to the castle, determined not to dwell on the fact.When Pearl reached the grand castle, she knew it had been about forty-five minutes since she'd left home. She ran inside, dripping wet raindrops onto the marble floor.
The King's assistant was there. "What are you here for?" he asked.
"A special delivery for King Mametchi," said Pearl, trembling with fear and feeling cold.
"Ah. This way." He lead her down a corridor and into the beautiful, velvet-carpeted throne room. Then he left her in the throne room. After several minutes, Pearl wondered where the King might be.
"Are you going to speak?" a voice in the room said softly and gently. Pearl jumped and looked up to see a Mametchi on a throne wearing a regal red cape.
Pearl hurried over to him and stood before him, bowing. "Your majesty, I have a special delivery for you," she explained.
"What is it?" the King asked.
"Ten thousand Gotchi Points," Pearl answered.
"Why do you pay me?" He asked, not being rude but inquiring.
Pearl shifted uncomfortably. "I would like to work as an assistant for you," she mumbled.
"I have a policy and only males may be my assistants." Tears stung Pearl's eyes and the King recoiled. "I didn't mean to hurt you, but I have a different job in mind for you."
"What may that be?" Pearl asked eagerly, wiping tears away with the back of her hand.
"Are you, Pearl Memetchi, willing to take this job first?" He asked.
"Yes!" She answered happily.
