Cherry Tree village
"Welcome." The white bird said as the door open. She was surprised to see so many people, usual it was always one or two people.
"Hi, we just move in." Allie said politely as Abigail and Adam were digging out items from the recycling bin. Abigail was trying to look as though, she thought it was all junk but she nabbed some clothes that she couldn't resist. Adam had almost fallen in, the way he was searching.
"Oh goodness, you must be Allie, Adam and Abigail. Tom Nook was talking a lot about you coming. Here's a map and the keys to your new home, right near to the beach."
"Thank you." Allie said giving the map to Adam. It would stop him fidgeting.
"Tom Nook will be stopping by, to sort out paperwork and that. Come to me to mail, donate and pay mortgages. At night my sister, Phyllis will be here, so you can drop by then too. Enjoy Cherry Tree village."
The three bid their goodbyes and exited. Adam was busy concentrating on the map so the girls could have at least five minutes of peace.
"Why on earth would someone dump this? It perfectly fine, look at it. And this, this is the newest must have dress. Loads of celebs want it. Uggh, this town got no taste. And then there's this one, city folk would die to wear this and there it would of been wasted."
Okay, so it wasn't much peace with her sister yapping on about the almost recycled clothes, but Allie was use to it. She would just simply nod, distracted by the beauty. She would find the time to sketch all of this, she had to. Tons of new artistic ideas were forming in her head but at the moment they had to focus on finding there new home.
"We have to follow this path and we'll soon come across it. All right, me hearties, the treasure awaits!" Adam shouted and started to run. He always played pirates when he had a map in his hand. Abigail wondered if Adam was insane but Allie didn't mind. She hurried after her brother, leaving Abigail no choice but to run too.
A shadow sat by a tree, deep in his thoughts. Three figures ran past him, all in excitement. He was once like that too, excited and innocent. A long time ago...
Allie noticed the shadow, a form of a man. She wanted a closer look to see if it was a human or an animal but when he caught her glaze, she shivered and ran faster, fear edging into her. Who was he?
"Our new home, our new home!" Adam shouted.
Allie looked forward and saw it. A small blue roof cottage, gleaming in the sun. It was surrounding by apple trees, setting a colourful picture. Allie smiled at it, forgetting the shadow.
Even Abigail smiled at it as she tried to keep up and not frizzle her hair. She could see her self living in it, parading in new clothes and gossiping with friends. If she did get friends here. Many people thought she was too shallow and so sometimes she was a loner. But other than that she had the knack of making friends.
Adam jumped about as he grabbed the keys from Allie and charged in. And came to a stop.
For there was nothing in there.
"Is this a poor house?" Abigail asked, bitterly looking at the cobwebs.
"Well, we did get it cheap..." Allie murmured, starting to unpack.
"But, but it's too small! I won't be able to fit a new bug collection in this room!" Adam wailed as he kicked the wall as if to make them expand the room.
"Well at least I can relax now!" Abigail said as she rolled her eyes at her brother.
"Come on Adam, it not that bad. We just have to make it more homely."
"Like how?" Both of her siblings asked.
She sighed, "Well we'll have to use our imaginations. Come on it will be an adventure."
She had said the right words to her brother. As soon as the word adventure rung in his ear he sprang up and started jumping again, "Cool, an adventure. Ye stuck a bargain there, matie! I'll get unpacking and we can turn this sunken waste until a beauty of a ship!"
"Uggh, why do I have him as a brother?" Abigail sighed.
They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Knowing four people wouldn't be able to fit in, they all went outside to see who it was.
A racoon wearing a blue apron stood in front of them. He smiled a smile only a shopkeeper would wear, making Abigail raise her eyebrows.
"Are you Abigail, Adam and Abigail the ones who sign for this house? Welcome to Cherry Tree village. I'm Tom Nook owner of Nook's Cranny. What do you think of your new home then?"
"It's alright." Allie and Adam said.
"It's too small." Abigail moaned and got elbowed in the sides for the trouble of being truthful.
"Ahaha, worry not, worry not. You'll get use to it! But there are the payments...only 19, 800!"
"What??!!" All three yell, "But...that's too much! It said on the sheet that it only cost...how much??!!"
"Worry not. How about you come and work part time with me to pay of a little of it? You get a chance to meet the neighbours and learn how to live in Cherry Tree village also, killing two birds with one stone. What do you say?"
"Um...did you just build that house so you get people working for you?" Abigail asked still a little miffed about the cost of the house.
"We'll be there, bright and early tomorrow morning, Mr. Nook." Allie said, glaring at her sister.
"Yep, yep we'll be there! It gives me an excuse to run around the village!" Adam grinned.
Tom Nook grinned and bid them farewell and hurried of. Abigail sighed as she watched him.
"Already, I'm starting to wonder what on earth this place will be like."
And Allie couldn't agree more.
