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
