New Neighbors and Other Drabbles
By -Kokoro Kitsune-
Kokoro. That's me. Who was it who nmoved out again...? I can't remember. I've only had 7 people in my town for about a week now. I'm sitting on my front doorstep, waiting for the inevitable... or is it?
Sighing, I log out and log back in. Nobody has moved in. A monarch butterfly lazily floats by. It is fall. I pull out my net and secure it inside the folds of the white, mesh fabric. I release it.
I check my map once more. Sigh. Still only seven neighbors. Wait, no! Another has moved in- Rowan.
Rowan! What a lovely name. My savior at last! My savior from the lonely days of marketing insects to the precocious Tom Nook. And he lives only a short walk away from me!
I gleefully rush over. He must be a boy, I suspect happily. My new love? I once had a lover- Cube. until my sister deleted him and his memories of me.
I fling open the door of his house. He's a tiger! Oh joy! He turns and...
He looks absolutely revolting and disgusting. Like he grew up in a trailer park. Well, maybe I can get over that...
I sprint up to him and talk. The first thing he says is...
"Hey you. Looks like you need to pump some iron, mango."
I stare in disbelief. He's a weight freak! An ugly, insulting, weight-lifting freak!
"You gonna just stand there? Or are you gonna help me unpack my stuff?"
I wearily trudge out the door.
Reviews make me feel fuzzy inside :3
