Author's Note: The names of my character is pretty darn cringey because she is named after me and I don't want to put my real name in this fic.

EDITED:I decided to change the character's name to Natallia. So yeah. Nevermind all that!

The Beesting

He didn't know what was wrong. He didn't know why he hadn't seen her in a few days. Even if it was true that, more than once, she had disappeared for months, this time was different. He still saw lights on in her house sometimes, and he knew she NEVER left lights on if she was outside, sleeping, or in the middle of disappearing for four months. She was weird like that.

He still smelled her nearby. Carmen and Truffles had even claimed to have talked to her recently.

So why wasn't she talking to him?

Or many other people for that matter.

She always made it a point to stop by his house and chat with him, or find him roaming around the village just to say hi. So why isn't she talking to him now? Did he do something wrong?

No, that can't be it.. she wasn't talking to anyone else either, excluding Carmen and Truffles for some reason.

"Well", he thinks, "I guess I'm here to answer that now."

Bones sighed and knocked on her door.

The human was being quite elusive lately. And Bones, being one of her very best friends, was going to find out why!

"Coming!" Her familiar voice called.Natallia ran down her stairs from her bedroom, past her kitchen on the second story, and finally at ground level in front of the door. She opened it and immediately regretted her decision.

"B-BONES!" She yelped her greeting and jumped a few feet back. Bones walked in and shut the door behind him. "Miss N? What's wrong? Why haven't you been talking to anyon-" Just as the dog was getting straight to the point, yet not so serious as to exclude her nickname from his speech, he noticed something off about his friend's appearance.

"Wait, what's up with the mask?" The human was wearing a Clown Mask (A/N: The item Clown Mask in Animal Crossing City Folks isn't an actual clown mask, it's just a black and white mask.) and it covered up her entire face. She never usually wore anything that covered her face..

Was she going for a new style?

"N-nothing!" She stuttered. "Miss N…" Bones knew when his friend was lying. "Okay fine.. I kinda.." She mumbled, the last part of her sentence too quiet for the dog to hear.

"What was that? Couldn't hear ya, yip yip.." She sighed.

"...I ght stnhg by a bnn.." Bones could hear her better this time, but couldn't understand what the embarrassed and uncharacteristically quiet girl was saying. "Uhh, I'm sorry but yo-"

"I GOT STUNG BY A BEE OKAY?!" The embarrassed girl covered her masked face with her hands in embarrassment. "Oh.." She sighed. "So is that why you haven't been talking to anyone?" Bones honestly didn't think Miss N was the type to be so shy over a silly bee sting.

"Yeah, because my freaking face is swollen and gross and everyone thinks I need some medicine and GUESS WHO'S SOLD OUT OF IT?!" The girl ranted. Bones sighed. "Oh, come on, I doubt it's THAT bad!" Natalliasighed in annoyance.

"Yeah, that doesn't make me wanna hide out in my house any less…" Miss N responded. "Come on, how much can a silly little bee sting mess up your nice face, yip yip?" Bones chuckled. Natallia attempted to ignore her crush's comment about her face being nice and sassily replied,"It depends on how mildly allergic to bees you are!"

"Wait, you're allergic to bees? Are you okay?" Bones asked, now slightly concerned. "Yeah, only got stung, like, 7 times." Bones's eyes widened in shock. "Wait what?!" Miss N laughed at his concern. "It's okay, like I said, I'm only mildly allergic." Bones calmed down a bit knowing his friend is probably fine. But still, seriously?

"But yeah, that's why I'm so self conscious about my face.. it's kinda.. pretty darn swollen.." She slumped. "And it's kinda still weird looking even with the mask up close…"

"Aww, come on, I won't make fun of you, you're my best friend!" The dog attempted to persuade the human girl. "Fine… just because I like you…" Natallia cringed a bit at her own statement, but knew he'd think she meant platonically.

Bones walked closer, so they were both at the center of the room (Or at least NEAR it, the real center was taken up by six different Tulip Tables with various flowers on them that she sometimes wore in her hair, she was currently wearing a purple tie dye shirt and a matching purple and white flower) and Natallia nervously removed the mask.

Her usually cheery and admittedly pretty face was covered with about 7 different bee stings from seven different bees. She literally must have actually gone out, and pissed off seven different hives full of bees. Why would would she do this? What the hell?

Her face was swollen and puffy, and one of her beautiful blue eyes was swollen shut. She blushed embarrassedly and looked away at a corner, that happened to have a birdcage there.

Don't ask why there are bird cages with birds in them in Animal Crossing. Who cares if some villagers are birds? Who cares if my ingame neighbor is a bird who ALSO has a birdcage? Apparently there are regular animal birds too. Shut up, logic.

"Okay, you need some medicine." Bones said simply. Natalliaopened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted. "I have some back at my house that I have for in case I eat too much fried ice cream and Tom Nook is sold out of it. I'll get it for you" Miss N blinked.

"Nuuuuu, don't do that! What if you get sick? I'd be guilty knowing that my best friend is sick and miserable because he gave his medicine to me because of a stupid decision I made to shake a bunch of trees for bells and piss off multiple bees!"

This time, Bones blinked. "It was totally worth it by the way."

"I'm getting you some medicine." With that, Bones left.

Natallia stopped, but after a while smiled, knowing how much her crush cared about her. She was lucky to have him as a friend, even if more would be nice.

And that's that! I'm not sure if this is going to remain a one-shot or not, I just wrote this after playing some Animal Crossing City Folks on the Wii, and pissing off tons of bees and deciding to avoid everyone (Except for Carmen and Truffles) because my face was ugly. So I hoped you enjoyed! And to anyone who read this because they favorited/followed my account because of my other story, Mewberty, HI! GOOD TO SEE YOU! SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO YOU YOU AWESOME PERSON!

Feel free to leave a review, they make me smile like a doofus. GOSH I LOVE REVIEWS! Hehe, cya I guess!

EDITED:I wrote the original version of this story, at like, one in the morning so sorry if it was weird. I like to think this polished version is a lot better. Also, Natallia isn't my real name. Hah. My identity is safe for another day. Take that, no one because no one is trying to find me irl. Hopefully… oh god..

*Disclaimer: If I owned Animal Crossing, why would I write a fanfiction about such an outdated version? I obviously don't...
