UPDATE! OMG FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY!
STILL NOBODY'S POV
Ally awoke to the sound of.. well... nothing. She was confused because she was used to being awoken to the sound of the train by her mother's house- then she remembered. She had moved to Orchard yesterday.
She sat up onto her bed and looked at her surroundings. The attic was extremely small. She stood up and realized she hadn't gotten under the covers. It didn't really matter, though, for it was extremely hot in that tiny attic.
She clambered sleepily down the stairs, for she was still tired, and realized that she had no kitchen, which meant she had no food. Sighing, she went outside, closing the door quietly.
She started walking around, trying to find someone who was awake, and almost bumped into someone, who had been behind a house.
"OW!" they both said at the same time. Ally looked at the other person (animal). It was a white cat with red orange stripes on his face and yellow eyes. He looked really annoyed.
"Hey! What the heck, meooo-OH!" he glared at her.
"S-sorry," she stuttered.
The cat looked ready to explode, but then seemed to calm down. "Ya know what? You're lucky. You've caught me in a good mood today, meooo-OH. Who're you?"
"A-Ally?" it came out as more of a question.
"I'm Kabuki. I've lived here longer than most of the other residents. If you talk to them about me, they'll probably say I'm a horrible animal, who's cranky, selfish, etcetera, etcetera. What about you, meooo-OH?"
Ally calmed down, realizing he wasn't going to explode on her. She took a deep breath and said, "I just moved here from Elwynn yesterday, and have gotten a house. do you know where a grocery store is? I haven't eaten since yesterday morning." her stomach rumbled, proving her statement.
A thin smile formed on Kabuki's striped face. "The store isn't opened yet. Do you want to have breakfast at my house, meooo-OH? I made a bunch of pancakes, but Austin hasn't even woken up yet, so they're just getting cold sitting on my table."
"Sure!" Ally smiled at her new friend, her stomach rumbling again. She followed Kabuki who walked around the house they were standing behind to the front and he opened the door, taking a note off the door. She glanced at it in his hand, and from what she could see it was mainly capital letters and exclamation points.
They went inside, Ally closing the door behind them, and Ally could see his house was pretty neat. He had a reel-to-reel that was playing K.K. Folk, a giant dharma, and few few other pieces of furniture, including a table with two huge piles of pancakes on it.
"Have you met Austin yet, meooo-OH?" Kabuki asked, as he beckoned her to the table.
"Nope," she said, popping the P. "What is he? It sounds like he's a dog or a gorilla."
They both sat down on the mats next to a low table Indian style (1) and Kabuki said, "He's a human."
"Really?" she said, excited that she wasn't the only human.
"Yeah, he's quite obnoxious and a slob if you ask me, meooo-OH." Just as he finished his sentence, the door burst open and a blond human waltzed in.
"Kabuki? I smell pancakes!" the boy looked over at the table and didn't seem to notice Ally. He just stared adoringly at the pancakes.
"...That's Austin." Kabuki stood up and went upstairs, coming down with an almost full bottle in his hand.
Austin finally noticed Ally who was trying to suppress a giggle, and said, "Who're you?''
"I'm Ally," she said, just as Kabuki handed Austin the bottle, which looked like it had syrup in it. He put an excited face on and sat down on his knees at the table and grabbed a plate, grabbing about seven pancakes off of the stack. He drenched the whole thing with syrup. It was a miracle he didn't get any on the table.
Kabuki glared at him, but sat back down and grabbed a few pancakes. Luckily he grabbed some peanut butter from upstairs, because Austin used all of the syrup. Ally hesitantly grabbed a pancake and put it on the plate in front of her, taking the butter knife and spreading a little bit of peanut butter on it.
A minute later, when Ally was halfway finished with her pancake, Austin wiped his mouth on his sleeve, finished, and grabbed some more pancakes, soaking them in the syrup on his plate.
Kabuki was extremely annoyed, but Ally thought it was funny and kinda cute.
"So- you just moved- here?" Austin said between mouthfuls.
"Yeah."
"Cool. I've- lived here- for about- a year."
"That's cool."
Austin finished and got up. "Well, I'm leaving. See ya, Kabuki, Ally." He wiped his face with his other sleeve and opened the door, slamming it behind him.
Ally giggled. "He's funny."
Kabuki, however, was so red in the face, you could just barely see his stripes. "I hate him! He has no manners whatsoever, and thinks he can just waltz in here when I make pancakes, meooo-OH. I guess I should be used to it, though," his face paled again.
"Why so you make pancakes for him, then?" she asked.
"I don't really know. I guess it's just tradition. That's how it's been for almost a year, meooo-OH."
"Huh." She put the last piece of pancake in her mouth and stood up slowly. "Well, I should probably be going. I have a lot of work to do. Thanks for the pancakes Kabuki!" She pushed her chair in, smiling at him warmly.
She exited the house and closed the door quietly. Well, that went well. She took a deep breath and looked around. She had no idea where she was. That was a good sign.
She then noticed a river and decided to follow it, wondering if maybe she would find someone who was fishing that could help her.
She went upstream, on a huge hill, and found a familiar pink and white dog in a blue tartan dress holding a shovel.
"Cookie!" Ally exclaimed.
"Hi, Ally!" Cookie said and skipped over to her. She put her shovel away in her pocket. "What can I do for you, arfer?"
"I need to get to Tom Nook's store, but I'm not very good with maps and their confusing keys." She pulled out her map from her pocket.
"Sure!" she grabbed the map and pointed to a spot on it. "So you see the perpendicular blue lines, arfer?" Ally nodded. "It's the same as right over there," she glanced away from the map and pointed to the right of them, where a river intersection was. Ally looked too and nodded again. "Now, do you see that leaf right there?" she pointed to a leaf just South of the blue line. Ally nodded once again. "That's Tom Nook's store, Nooks Cranny, arfer. To get there, you're gonna have to follow-" she glanced away from the map again and pointed to the part of the river flowing West right in front of where the were facing, "- that river and eventually you'll find Nook's Cranny, arfer!" she looked up at Ally and smiled, handing the map back to her.
"Thanks! But I have another question..."
"What?" Ally thought she could see a white and blue question mark appear but thought it was just her imagination.
"Are there any more stores?"
"Yeah, there is one more: The Able Sisters'. The Able sisters, Mable and Sable, run it. They sell clothes and even let you design your own, arfer!"
"That's cool." she looked down at her old blue T shirt with a Shine Sprite on it. "I'll need some new clothes. Did you say that was the ONLY other store?"
"Yeah. To get groceries or a new hairstyle, you'll need to take the bus to the city."
"What city?"
"The city. It doesn't have a name, it's just, 'the city', arfer."
Ally glanced at her watch. It was almost nine. "Sorry, Cookie! I gotta go!" She took off South.
"Uh, Ally?"
"Yeah?" Ally stopped and glanced back.
"You're supposed to go the other way, arfer," Cookie pointed West.
"Oh, yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh..." Ally started sprinting West. Cookie chuckled. Her new friend was funny.
