Just a crazy little story. This is your basic Main char girl falling for a char in the game kinda fic. Will have eventual TotakekexOC stuff, but this is for all of you out there who ever dreamt of loving that dog. Well, this will be that story. Story of a girl who blows into town and finds herself and true love!
This is your typical average story about a typical average girl joining your typical average town to start her own life just like any other average Joe would do.
However, this is not going to be your typical story.
The day was late on a Saturday afternoon on a rainy day in the middle of January. But not the kind you would expect. It started out small enough, a few drops from the skies, but it grew faster than anyone expected! Now it was a furious storm with lightning and pouring rain falling from the heavens!
The roads were muddy and dangerous, and bumped and sunk on the thin road running along the mountain range. The small taxi looked like it could have been brushed off the road in one sweep of the wind or a shove from a mudslide!
Two eyes darted back and forth inside, clutching a purse and staring at the pounding rain thundering on the windows! Lightning roared in the dark skies, flashing between clouds like dragons.
"This be your first time out on your own Miss?" the driver asked. He seemed to be controlling the car just fine, but noticed the female paling face. When no answer came, he asked again, "Miss?"
"Eh?" the girl said startled, moving her eyes away from the window at last. "U-Um, yes!" she said, her pigtails bouncing at her nodding head.
"Ah, shame the night had to be so rough. Would have been nice if it was sunny and a bid cloudy." he said. "So what be your name, Miss?"
The girl again tore her frightened violet eyes away from the storm to the driver. "L-Lavender." she said shyly.

"You take care Miss Lavender!" Kappi yelled over the storm. "Just go to town hall and Nook's tavern! They'll take care of ya!" With that, he drove off, disappearing not 20 feet before being engulfed by the mist.
Lavender shivered and held her small luggage bag, glancing back into the town she had entered. She was sure she was in, "Sunny Brook" village, but this looks anything but. She stared at the tall trees that surrounded a stone pathway. It looked more like the gaping mouth of a monster, waiting for her to enter and to gobble her up.
Perhaps she could just stand there until the storm passes. Under the safety of the street lamp and its home base light. She hugged her bag thinking of the long night being in the rain. A lightning thundered above, startling the girl to jump high from the ground. She whimpered a bit, feeling the effects of the water seeping through her clothes.
"Why didn't I bring an umbrella-"
Another bolt shot through the sky, this time just over her head! Lavender screamed bloody murder and sprinted forward, throwing her bag in the air and entering the forest in a blind fit of terror!
The girl kept running through the trees, even long after the stone path disappeared under her feet. Mud jumped from the ground at her steps, dirtying her legs and the bottoms of her once clean dress. She could care less and kept on running and only slowing down to catch her breathe, and speeding up again at another bolt of lightning!
She didn't know how far she ran, or in which direction she went. All she knew was she saw a tall white building in the distance and she used every ounce of her energy to reach it!
Lavender grabbed the handle of the large oak door. At first with some difficulty, she swung it open slowly and shut it behind her! Inside, she slid down to her bottom, panting.
"Sanctuary…" she breathed.
Once her breath had returned, she took the chance to look around. She was in a nicely lit main hall with the walls made of marble stone. The main hall had six entrees ways, each with a sign above of what laid beyond.
Pushing herself to her feet, Lavender brushed her dress of any dirt and rubbed her feet on the mat. Her socks were beyond repair, so she sat down to take off her shoes and her socks and then putting back her shoes.
"Better to walk around in wet shoes than with wet shoes AND socks." she reasoned. With that done, she went off.
She walked through the exhibits, trying to find a friendly face. However she found no one. She went through the dinosaurs, the fish, the bugs and even the paintings, but found no one. Lavender was about to go to the one labeled with a star, when she heard a voice. A singing voice no less! It sounded heavenly to her ears and soul, and she took off to the other entree way, labeled with a teacup.
Walking down, down the stairs, Lavender was beginning to think she should go back up. But that voice was still singing, beckoning her forward! So with what little courage she had, she urged herself down the rest of the steps until she came to a door. It was a fascinating door to say the least, with stain glass running along the edge, shining from the outside in.
Peeking through the glass, she saw figures moving. And one was coming right for her!
"Thanks for the song K.!" a human boy yelled behind him waving. He didn't notice the girl in front of her, nor took notice as he walked by her and up the steps. Lavender was pressing herself to the wall as best she could; blending in with the wallpaper.
Perhaps it was the fact it was so dark in the hallway that the boy didn't notice her, or maybe he was in a big hurry. After all, she could hear the rain pounding outside, even from down here. It was only natural you would want to get home quickly.
Lavender paused hearing the music stopped. Her heart plummeted to her stomach. Was she even allowed in there? Would she get kicked out back in the terrible rain? But she came too far to stop now! She just couldn't stop now!
Gathering her courage, Lavender pushed open the door to the lit room! To her surprise, it was a bar. A nice, homely coffee bar. Behind the counter was a tall pigeon with glasses, cleaning a cup slowly. Lavender moved her eyes over to the rest of the room, finding it empty except for a lone guitar on stage. Was she hearing things when she heard someone singing?
Looking back at the bartender, Lavender shyly moved into a stool and got his attention.
"…Coffee?" he said simply to her. Lavender shyly nodded and he went to getting her drink. As he did, the walls thundered with the storm outside. One extra loud one went off for them to hear it. Lavender winced at the sound, feeling shivers build up in her cold body.
"Here." the oversize pigeon said pushing the cup in front of her. Then glancing at how she shook, he added, "Its best to drink it when its hot so you'll warm up."
Lavender nodded at the man and took the cup. She wasn't all that into this kind of drink, but at the moment, she could have drank boiling oil for all she cared! She just wanted to warm up. Taking a shy sip, she found it surprisingly light. She glanced at the bartender, finding him back to cleaning cups. Then taking a bolder sip, she found it was indeed light on her tongue, and warmed her up. She smiled into the drink, keeping it in her hands to warm them up.
"Hey thanks Brewster for letting me use the bathroom." a second voice went off. Lavender nearly dropped her drink at the surprising voice. She whirled around to the second door of the room behind the bar which she didn't notice before. There a white dog with thick eyebrows walked out, smiling lazily at the bartender. He jumped over the counter in one swift movement of his paw on the table and swinging his legs up in the air, landing back out with a grin. It was then he realized the girl there staring at him. He was not at all fazed by her perplexed stare and grinned wider. "Ah, I had a customer sneak in while I was gone."
Lavender blushed under his smile and went shyly back to her drink, taking big gulps. She yelped when the hot contents burned her throat and tried not to squirm in pain.
"So, groovy chick, want to dig my grooves?"
Lavender turned all shades of red as she turned back to the dog who was back on stage, grabbing his guitar and sitting on a chair. He smiled at her. "They're free."
Lavender wasn't sure how to respond. But with the Labradors dark eyes staring intently into hers, she couldn't say no. She dumbly nodded back and the canine's small grin turned gentle.
"How about you come over here where I can see you then." he said pointing to the table in front of the stage.
Lavender blinked and looked at her cup, still half full. She looked back at the bartender and he nodded at her to go. Smiling in thanks, the girl hopped off and walked over to the table, taking the second chair to face him. Now before him, the musician steadied his guitar and looked down at the girl.
"Now, I don't do this often, but I give out requests to only certain people." At this his smile turned dashing and he winked. "Do you have any requests for me chicky?" he asked.
At this Lavender had to blush. She shook her head and hoped she didn't look like an idiot. But then again, she probably already did.
"Ah I can dig that. I'll surprise you then." he said. Another thunder roar went off, thundering into the depths of the basement. A few items on the shelves quivered, but other than that, everything remained stabled. Lavender stared wide eyed at this and clutched her cup and shutting her eyes tight.
The dog on stage saw this and had a shine in his eye. He then closed his eyes and drummed his paw over the strings. "This is for those of you feeling down and blue over the storm." he said. "This is called, K.K. Lullaby."
Then the canine went off into song, a soft tune starting on the strings of his instrument, and then joining his voice, that grew a few alcoves higher. Lavender sat there in shock at the soft tune playing. It felt so powerful and enchanting that Lavender forgot completely about the storm. His voice never faltered, and his eyes never wavered from hers, and only did to look at his paws playing over the guitar. He started to whistle as well, short and soft blows between his lips.
The musician continued to play, his song overpowering the storm, and bathing the room in song. Lavender felt her muscles from the long night relax. All her troubles seemed to have melted away by every note he played. Soon Lavender felt her eyes drop close, with her empty cup held in her hands.
Then the song ended too soon for her likings, and she opened them again into the reality. But she was not afraid of the storm anymore.
"Hey thanks for listening little lady." he said smiling at Lavender. "You can come over and get this soundtrack if you want. It's great to put in your pad and listen whenever you'd like to." he said.
Smiling a bit, Lavender nodded and hopped off her chair, walking over to the stage. The dog dug into his pocket and pulled out an air track, and handed it to her. "The name's Tokakeke by the way." he said, catching the girl off guard. "But friend's call me K.K. Slider."
Lavender blinked and then smiled brightly. She wouldn't forget that name too soon. Not with his dark eyes staring dreamily into hers.
"And yours?" he asked.
Lavender gasped and turned redder than a tomato. "U-Um, L-Lavender!" she sputtered out.
"Lavender huh?" K.K. Slider said. He drummed over the guitar strings, humming a bit, deep in thought. He then looked up to meet her eyes. "It has a nice tune. Thanks for coming tonight Lavender. I really hope you enjoyed it."
Lavender smiled while flushing slightly, and opened her mouth to say something when the door slammed open! A flustered owl with a bow tie came in, waving his arms wildly in the air. "O-Oh my! I-Its terrible!" he cried out, running around in place once and then turning his head completely around to Brewster. He turned his body around as well and nearly jumped on the bar. "The storm has grown over the hour! Its out of control!" he yelled.
How's THAT for drama?! Well my animal crossing fic is off with a start! Hope you all are enjoying it!
