Hallo! Yes, I know, I'm starting my fourth story that doesn't really have a concrete ending, I know. But… GOD DANGIT I LOVE ME SOME ANIMAL CROSSING. I've played the crap out of my copy of New Leaf since January 4, and so I decided to make a story somewhat based off of my misadventures in that game! So, let's start!

"… Mm…" I blinked open my eyes. Where… Oh right, the train. I was on my way to the town of Segoia, where I was going to start a new life for myself! … Wait is that cat walking to me- Oh God he is.

He was mainly blue, with a patch of white fur on his face, with triangular ears poking out of his head that occasionally twitched. He sat in front of me, and flashed me a smile, which I returned. Hopefully I don't look like a psychopath, I've been told that happens when I try too hard to smile.

"Hello! Can't say I've seen ya on the rails!" He greeted warmly. "… Actually, it's been awhile since I was on the rails m'self… About 2002 was it?" He made a thinking gesture, before shaking his head. "Ach! Where are my manners! Name's Rover! You?"

"Lucy." I replied. Yep, I'm a girl. I brushed back my black hair from my face (I should really get it trimmed…) as Rover asked where I was going. "Oh, a town called Segoia. Why?"

"Segoia hm? I think I have a map of the place…" He began searching his bag as his ears twitched some more. … I kinda wanna touch em, not gonna lie. They look super soft. He then pulled out a map from his bag and handed it to me. "Here ya go!" He said cheerfully. "Figured I might as well help ya out."

"Thanks." I replied as I studied the map. The river neatly cut the town in half for the most part, except for a few bends and a pond in the middle of it. It seemed like a nice place, and the map told me about where Town Hall and The Plaza were. Important things to note.

Attention Passengers, we will be arriving in Segoia shortly. All Passengers disembarking at Segoia please prepare for your stop.

The announcement pulled me from my thoughts. "Oh, that's my stop." I stood up and got my bag from the rack. "Pleasure talking to you." I told Rover, who nodded and waved goodbye to me as I headed for the exit.

I shivered as I stepped out into the cold January Air. My Mom said I was crazy for moving now, but I always liked winter more than summer. Besides, snow was on the ground! It never snowed where I lived, just cold, miserable rain. I made my way to the Train Station exit, stopping before I was out. "… Here we go…" I said quietly, taking a deep breath to calm my nerves. … It didn't really help. Oh well. And with that, I stepped out to-

POP!

"GAH!" I screeched. What the hell?! I blinked as I processed what was floating in the air… Confetti?

"Hello Mayor!" A cheerful voice greeted, snapping me out of my shocked surprise. Oh God I hope I didn't have my mouth open.

"Wha…?" I turned to the voice, revealing it to be… A golden-colored dog lady, with a remarkably bell-shaped head and in a big puffy coat that put my wore-out blue hoodie to shame. She was holding a popper in her hands, and had a smile that was so sweet I could feel my teeth rotting.

"Welcome to Segoia Mayor! We all came out to greet you!" It was at this moment I noticed the other animals present: An orange monkey, a yellow chicken, a brown squirrel, and a pink ostrich (Or a flamingo, she could pass as both).

"Uh… I'm not your mayor." I replied, scratching the back of my head in confusion. At least… I don't think I was. Unless this was like that thing where you're the millionth customer or whatever and you get a prize. The advertisement flashed in my mind: Show up to this tiny town as the fifth resident and you win a mayoral term!

"Nonsense!" The dog lady replied, waving her hand. "Now, I'm sure you want to meet your neighbors, so stop by town hall when you're ready!" And with that, she walked off, taking with her and way of figuring out how the hell any of this worked. … Oh well, might as well be friendly. I decided to talk to the squirrel first: She seemed the most… Normal, of the bunch. I walked up and greeted her with "Hello Ms… Squirrel." Nice one brain.

"Hm?" She turned around, smiling. "Oh! You're our new mayor! Well, I'm Cally, nice to meet you, WHEE."

Oh God that catchphrase. Lord help me, we are not off to a good start. "Well, I'm Lucy, nice to meet you as well." … After some awkward shifting around, I quickly blurted out 'Okayseeyouaround' and hurriedly walked off, doing everything in my power to not look back. Next, I decided to talk to the Ostrich (Or Flamingo). I decided to keep my greeting simple. "Yo!" I called to her. Oh God what if I sound like a thug. I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS.

She turned around and waved as she walked up to me. "Oh! You must be the new lady, pinky."

Okay, that catchphrase was much better than Cally's. "Yep, I'm Lucy."

"Well I'm Flora, nice to meetcha!"

"… Hey, are you an ostrich or a flamingo?" I asked, figuring I might as well find out now.

Flora stared for a few seconds, before tears welled up in her eyes. "I-I'm a beautiful ostrich, thank you very much! And don't forget it pinky! Waaaaa!" And then she ran off crying. … Welp, I'm 0 for 2.

"Oh don't worry, rerack." A chill voice said behind me. "Flora's a dramatic. She'll be over it in a few minutes." I turned around to see the orange monkey holding something behind his back. "Name's Flip! You're… Lucy right?"

"Yup." I replied. … I like 'em. He's cool.

"Well, I got you something." He removed what was behind his back: A friggin massive cherry. Seriously, I think one of them is bigger than my head. "Say hello to Segoia's specialty: The cherry!" I did a mock clap, which earned a chuckle from him. "Glad ya like it." He snapped the stem in half and handed one to me, and then bit into his. I studied the cherry. It was a glossy red, and I didn't see anything particularly wrong with it. Here's hoping I don't die from the world's deadliest cherry. I took a bite.

"… Woah." HOLY CRAP THAT IS GOOD. WHAT IS IN THIS THING. HOH MY GOD. I NEED MORE. I hastily finished off the rest of the cherry, earning another chuckle from Flip.

"Glad to see you like 'em." He remarked, turning around and walking off. "See ya around!" He called.

"You too!" I responded. Well, I was 1 for 3. So that just left… The chicken. Wonder where he went-

"OW!" A shout interrupted my thoughts. I looked over to the cause of it to see the yellow chicken from before rubbing a bump on his head as he angrily stared at the golden coin on the ground: A 100 Bell Piece, which had presumably been the cause of his injury... Somehow. He picked it up and pocketed it as I walked over. When he saw me, he greeted me with "Howdy neighbor! I assume you want to talk to me, doodle-duh?"

"Yeah, I was-"

"Well it'll have to wait till I find sustenance." He patted his belly. "I'm in need of the cherry!" … If I hadn't had a cherry already, I would find him rude. But he had a point. So, I walked over to a nearby tree and gave it a healthy shake, allowing some cherries to fall off. I picked up one and handed it to him. "Oh! Thanks!" He gobbled it down. "Hm… Oh! Here!" He reached in his pockets and pulled out a small leaf and handed it to me. Here, have my Game Shelf for helping me out!"

"…" I pocketed the leaf with a 'Thanks.' "So what's your name?" I asked.

"Eggbert! And your Lucy right?"

"Yup."

"Well, it was nice meeting you!" And with that, he trudged off.

"… Well, I suppose 2 out of 4 isn't so bad." I remarked. And I even got a game shelf out of it! … Now I need a place to put it. Oh well, cross that bridge when I come to it. Now I needed to go talk to Isabelle. And so, I headed off to the town hall to get this whole thing sorted out.

And so that's part 1 of Lucy's first day!

… Look, I didn't play as a girl, but I wanted to for this story, so bam, Lucy.

Lucy: Hi.

Anyway, if you feel you liked this story (In the, like, probably tiny amount of AC Fans on FF that have a chance of reading this. Not to mention this kind of story has been done to death already, but DAMMIT I WILL MAKE IT WORK), then give a review or whatever! Bye! :D
