This is my first fanfic! I hope you enjoy it and please review me, even if it is a negative review; I want to know how I can improve my fanfic. (Just in case it is confusing, the character moving in already knows about the animals)

Animal Crossing

Chapter 1 – A New Home

I love rain. If it wasn't raining, I would be bored out of my mind right now on this train; I brought nothing with me but the clothes on my back. I'm entertaining my self by looking out of my window seat, watching the rain as I go by the beautiful countryside. Why am I on a train, you ask? I want a new life, one that I can call my own.

*flashback* "Bye Mom! Bye Dad! I'll miss you so much, and remember that I love you," I said.

Mom said, "Bye sweetie, I love you too, and remember to call or write me at least once a week, and visit at least once every 2 months!"

"Of course Mom, why would I forget?"

"Well you forget to do your homework, say I love you everyday, your manners-"

"Mom! My train leaves in 30 minutes!"

"Ok, let me drop you off" *flashback end*

My watch says 11:00 and I should be getting off at 11:15, and it's and hour long drive so I'm almost there. All of a sudden—

"Hi! I'm Rover! Mind if I sit here and chat with you a bit?"

A cat named Rover. Of course. I didn't know the animals would start appearing on the train, I thought they would appear in my town. But I guess I should expect that, I know I'm going to a town inhabited by animals.

"Go right ahead, it's not like I own the seat," I said.

"Thanks, you're friendlier than most of the folks I meet! Anyway, what's your name?" Rover said.

"I'm Dave"

"Dave, eh? Nice name! It sounds cool!"

"Thanks."

"You know this train is heading for Animal Village, right? Animal Village is my favorite town, it's a nice town. Are you staying there, or just visiting a friend?"

How could I be visiting? This is the first animal I have ever met, and only animals live in Animal Village. Whoa, never would've thought I'd say I "met" an animal.

"I'm moving there," I said.

"You got a place to stay right?"

"Nope!"

"What? How can you move somewhere without a place to stay? Never mind, I'll find a place for you! I know, one of my friends owns the main shop there, let me make a quick call." And he walked back to the door he came through.

Boy, are these animals friendly. And did he just say he's making a call? I didn't know trains have landlines! Or is it just this train? I could barely hear him, but it sounds like "Hey Nook! I got a buddy who doesn't have a home yet in Animal Village, can you get him one of your cheap, brand new homes? That's great! I'll go tell him."

He walked back and said, "Hey I got good new—"

"It's ok, I overheard your conversation."

"Thanks for saving my breath, hey you got money right?"

"No, I don't have, uhh, what ever currency animals use."

"We use bells! But they aren't actually in the shape of bells; they look like gold coins with stars on them. Well then good luck with making money, Tom Nook will teach you. Looks like were here! Enjoy your new life in Animal Village! I should move there sometime…"

"Thanks!"

And with that, he was gone, and I have arrived. Time to start my brand new life!
