When Crazy Comes To Town
by The Shredder
An intro….well, it starts out like any normal Animal Crossing game. You meet Rover, become his friend, he sets you up, etc. Well, this happens to be about a boy named Jeffery, who has just came into town and isn't the most popular. He manages to befriend a laid-back squirrel, Adam, a dark, gothic girl cat, Jade, and a timid, younger wolf boy who always wears a beanie and rarely talks, Eddie. So let's follow Jeffrey into town, shall we?
Note THIS WILL BE CONSTANLTY UPDATED AND ADDED TO! So if you have read this story, make sure to come back daily to check for additions. This will depict Jeffrey's entire life in his new town. It will have some language in it later on, hence the T rating.

The young boy sighed as he looked out the window, gazing upon the many trees zooming past him. It reminded him of home, when he grew up at his grandparents house with his whole family. He loved it there. They had a big orchard, two houses on one property, and a gorgeous swimming pool, even with a slide. He sighed again as he remembered it was his time to make a change in the world.
The train ride was sure taking awhile. It made him seem like he bought a ticket to nowhere, as if he was going to stay on this vehicle his entire life. The only other movement on the train was a sleeping sow, who looked like she had a bag of turnips beside her.
He was dozing off when he heard the door to the outside shut. He looked up and saw a blue cat, who was looking around, probably for a place to sit. The cat looked at him and smiled, and began walking toward the boy.
"Oh no," the boy thought. "What am I gonna say? What am I gonna do? Mom never told me how to introduce myself to anyone!"
The cat had approached him already. It spoke.
"Umm... Mind if I sit here? It's more fun traveling in pairs, or so they say, right? I promise, I'm not crazy!"
The boy gawked at him. "Oh no, oh NO!" he thought. "Just play it cool, you can do it."
"Please!" he sputtered, almost spraying the cat with saliva.
The cat sat down in front of him.
"Thanks again! It sure is nice meeting friendly folk on the train..."
The boy sighed in relief. Perhaps it wasn't going to be SO bad after all.
The cat looked at him strangely. "You aren't a psycho, right?" The cat gazed at him.
He panicked. "Uh..uh.."
The cat laughed. "Bahaha! Just kidding!"
The boy sighed in relief again.
The cat laughed again. "Sorry bout that, my humor's sort of dry...what's your name, pal?"
"Uh...Jeffery."
The cat made some funny faces, trying to say his name. "Hrmm... Well... Hrmmm... Jeffery... Now THAT is an odd name!"
The cat meowed in laughter as Jeffrey sank ito his chair, embarrassed.
"Not that my opinion means much. I mean, look at me, I'm a cat, and my name's Rover!" He laughed again. That made Jeffery feel a bit better.
Rover noticed Jeffrey sinking in his chair. "Oh, I'm sorry! Did I say it was odd? It's not odd! It's uh..." He stopped, and Jeffery looked at him.
"It's a...really...great name!" Rover finished.
It was official, Jeffery felt bad.
"You know.." Rover started suddenly, "I was behind you in line when you bought your ticket. Now I wasn't eavesdropping, per se...but I think I heard you're going to Darsinae?"
Jeffery nodded slowly. Boy, this guy was weird, but it WAS better then sitting alone.
Rover laughed. "Awesome! Darsinae is one of my favorite vacation spots. Why are you going there, Jeffery?"
"I'm uh...moving..." he said quietly.
"Oh myah?" Rover meowed. You're moving? What fun! Moving's always an adventure!"
Jeffery nodded, but was totally disagreeing with him in his mind. He didn't WANT to leave home. But now he was stuck, facing fate.
"Sayyy..." Rover said slyly. "Do you know where you're going to be living?"
Jeffery sat up quickly! "Oh NO-" He stopped quickly, he didn't want to get Rover suspicious. He hadn't though about a place to live at all! What a dunce!
"Uh..uh...I don't know yet." Jeffery looked away in shame.
"WHAT?!? You haven't decided!?" Rover exclaimed. Jeffery slowly shook his head no.
"Oh man, it looks like we have to find you a place to live!"
"Ah, no, it's ok Rover, I-"
"No no! I insist! It's the least I can do! I DO know a pal of mine that runs a shop up in Darsinae...I'm gonna give him a call! Stay here!"
Rover ran to the back of the train before Jeffery could say anything. Rover took out his cellphone, dialed, and waitied patiently for an answer.
Jeffery looked down at him, and noticed he was talking to someone. He felt bad. It was great he had met this cool guy, but Rover was doing a little much for him. Still, Jeffery couldn't change Rover's mind, so he decided he should accept what Rover was doing for him. Before Jeffery could think any farther, Rover came back with a grin on his face, and it lifted Jeffery's spirits.
"What did he say?" Jeffery asked as Rover sat back down.
"Good news for you! My buddy has houses for sale, dirt-cheap! The work's done on 'em and everything! You have got yourself one heck of a deal, my friend."
"That's great!" Jeffery smiled.
"Yeah, except...uh...you got money, right?" Rover asked him.
Jeffery pulled out a large sack of currency, called Bells. "Sure do," he said.
Rover smiled at him and the big sack of money. "Then you'll be just fine! I remember when-"
TOOOOOOT!! TOOOOOT!
The train began to slow. A squeaky voice shot over the intercom.
"All passenegers headed fro Darsinae, please grab your luggage, we have arrived."
"Looks like we part trails here, buddy," Rover said somewhat sadly.
Jeffery looked at him frowning. "You're not coming, Rover? But-"
"Sorry, pal. I have places to go, people to see...But hey, next time you're on the train, look for me!" He escorted Jeffery off the train quickly.
"Happy trails, buddy!" Rover waved out the window. "Good luck to you!"
"Thank you for everything Rover!" Jeffery waved to him as the train sped off. Rover shouted something, but it was too incoherent to hear.
Jeffrey watched his friend fade off into the distance. He was all alone now, in a strange new town. Jeffery sighed again.
"Back to square one..."
