Domestic Re-Tail.

NOTES: This isn't my first fanfiction but it IS my first Animal Crossing story.

It's set in a "New Leaf" town but otherwise I'm using all the elements from the older Animal Crossing games.

I don't own the characters as they belong to Nintendo, the only thing that is mine is the story.

Some characters maybe OOC or OTT so just be warned. So, here we go…

Bob didn't mind moving, he was the only few who could tolerate it but he loved traveling to other towns and cities…he loved the idea of every town was different and always had different residents…some he got along with and some he didn't, in fact some annoyed him…Bob was just an easy going cat, who could get along with everyone…unless of course they treated him like dirt…then he'd just look the other way…but this town looked good, it looked lovely and simple.

CreationVille…it had a good ring to it.

In no time Bob was in his new home, a place reserved for him near the beach as he loved his sandy walks and shell picking. He brought in the last of his boxes, and sighed exhaustedly into his sofa…he looked around at the boxes he had…he rolled his eyes not realizing how much rubbish he actually had…but how could you NOT buy the awesome stuff he saw in other towns…most of the items were just useless to him but sold cheaply…he never knew why he brought a saddleback…it just…well, it looked good at the time…

He decided to try and make an effort to unpack, he got to one of the piled-up boxes and was about to open it until he heard a knock at the door. He sighed but smiled as he walked over to the door and opened...and in front of him was a raccoon in a green sweater…a name tag reading "Tom Nook" on it.

NOOK: So, how do you like your new home?

BOB: It's great, thank you.

NOOK: Ah, but I guess you want to expand, yes?

BOB: Uh…no, not just yet…I've only just got here…

NOOK: Yes, yes…I understand, well, if you ever need to expand, just come over to the plaza and come to Nook's homes. We'll sort out your needs.

BOB: That's…great, thank you…

NOOK: No problem. Hope you enjoy your stay.

And with that, the raccoon left. Bob closed the door and chuckled to himself, thinking about what the raccoon said…he only just got here and was harassed, well kind of, in expanding his home. Then again, that wouldn't be a bad thing…Bob was thinking he could have an extra room for all his trophies he won in the Fish and Bugs competition…yeah, not a bad idea that. Problem is, it all costs money…that shouldn't be too much of an issue though, Bob had loads of stuff he could easily sell…stuff that he didn't really need, so he decided to find the box that had "Random Stuff" on it, he looked through all the boxes and couldn't find…he even questioned himself if he even picked it up…or even if he chucked the box in the tip, it worried Bob that he couldn't remember…but as happy-go-lucky he was, he wouldn't of cared for much longer. About fifthteen minutes later, he actually found that box…of course, it was the last box and was at the bottom.

BOB: (Rolls his eyes) Typical…

Bob quickly lifted all the boxes above the "Random Stuff" and making a new pile for the others…then ripped through the take and saw all the useless crap he had in their…a ringside bell, saddle fence…letter set, which he hardly used…in fact, these were all things he never used…he nodded, as these things were perfect to sell and get a few bells…he then checked his watch…it was about 9pm.

BOB: Ah, damn…I guess any shop here is probably closed by now…

Just then, he heard another knock at the door, it was more gentle this time…he sighed as he put the stuff back in the box and went over to answer the door. He put on his cheeky smile and opened the door, in front of him was a female dog, at first Bob was taken aback of how smart this person was…if a little shy, he then noticed her name tag on her…Isabelle.

Isabelle was a bright yellow puppy who resembles a Shih Tzu, She had a happy appearance with rosy cheeks and with a white fur patch on her tail and around her mouth. She was wearing a green checkered vest with a white top and a red ribbon underneath with a navy blue skirt.

ISABELLE: Hello and welcome to Creationville, I'm the sercuity of Creationville, the major sends his greetings…

Bob then noticed she was holding a basket of fruits, he was surprised by this as most towns he went to they never sent anyone to greet them…let alone have a welcoming basket for them. Bob accepted the gift and gently took them away from her.

BOB: Wow…thank you so much.

ISABELLE: Not a problem. Just a little welcoming gift for you.

BOB: It's great, thank you.

ISABELLE: You're welcome. I know it's late but when you've got time, you've got to meet the other residents, all they've been doing is talking about your arrival. Actually, maybe it's best to do that tomorrow…heh.

She starts to blush for some odd reason, Bob didn't mind this, he thought she was really sweet.

ISABELLE: Ah, yes…before I forget, here's a map of our town…(Gives Bob a map) And if you ever need me, the town hall is just over there…(She points to a drawn purple building that represented the town hall) Well, I guess that's it for now…

BOB: Thank you.

ISABELLE: Is there anything else I can help you with, while I'm here.

BOB: Actually, yes…are there any shops open?

ISABELLE: Oh, not at this time, I'm afraid…most places closes at 9pm…

BOB: Bugger, ah well, never mind…I only wanted to sell some junk anyway…

ISABELLE: Well… I suppose if your just selling you could go to…Re-Tail…

BOB: Re-tail…?

ISABELLE: Yes, it's a place that opens late normally…and they'll be happy enough to take your junk, rubbish or anything else off you. They recycle some stuff, rebuild them…

BOB: Wow, that sounds great, I'll head off there now…

ISABELLE: No…I…

BOB: What's up…?

ISABELLE: I…just wouldn't go now…you see…they…they've been having…

BOB: What…?

ISABELLE: Oh, never mind…but it's best if you go tomorrow, now wouldn't be a good time, okay.

BOB: Oh, uh…okay…

ISABELLE: One of them gets a bit…grumpy…

BOB: I see…

ISABELLE: Is there anything else I could help you with?

BOB: No, I guess that's it thank you very much. You've been really helpful…and thank you for the gift.

ISABELLE: Your to kind…(Gasps) Oh my, I'm so sorry, I forgot to ask your name…Oh, how silly of me…

BOB: Haha, that's okay…I'm Bob…

ISABELLE: Ah, Bob… that's a nice name. Well look, I won't hold you up any further, I'm sure you've got a lot of unpacking to do, so I'll be on my way. Again, if you need anything just come to the town hall. Bye for now…Bob. (She winks at him)

With that Isabelle trundled off, whistling. Bob chuckled…what a cute girl she was, he thought. He looked at his watch again…and then at the box of junk…he bit his lip…he was thinking weather to go to the Re-Tail or not…but his common sense didn't really get in the way of him and decided to have a little walk to this re-tail place.

Although…he then thought about how Isabelle was wording her sentence about this place…it seemed she was scared…maybe a hint of strange fear across her face. Bob then thought that the place couldn't have been that bad…at the end of the day it sounded like the perfect place to get rid of his useless junk…

But…he was going to get more than he bargained for. At the end of the day, he wasn't sure what he was getting himself in to.

NOTES: I hope to have the next chapter up soon but I shall see as I'm going to be very busy and I've got other stories in the works as well as this one.
