Chapter 2

Rover and Nook

Rover was absolutely horrible at spelling and grammar. He never went to school, because he said school was "so not Rover", and things that aren't Rover are things that don't deserve to have anything to do with Rover. At least Rover thought so. Stupidly, his mother didn't make him go because she thought Rover was perfect and shouldn't be "tortured".

Rover hadn't done much in his life. While he was moving to Everglade Town he met this cat that was also named Rover. The first Rover didn't like that so he called the cat an impostor and jumped off the train while it was crossing over a bridge. He landed in Lake Charleston while it was raining. He had lost most of his bells and when he got to Everglade Town he had to work at Nook 'n' Go to pay off for the rest of his house.

While you were sitting here reading, Rover got a letter in the mail. He opened it and read it. "YAAY! I'm in the club! Ooh, look! I got my Nookiform! Hoo-hee!" Rover jumped with delight.

Tom Nook walked around his home. It was 6:30 and Nookway wasn't supposed to open yet. He looked at his mail. One hundred thousand bells left to pay before he could upgrade his store. "Good," he thought. "I only need some guy to buy a few pieces of furniture and I can pay it off!"

It was 7:00 when Nook got on the train. Rover the cat was there. "Myah hi!" he beamed. "I haven't seen you in a day!"

"Hi, Rover. I can't believe it. They're starting a 'Nook Stinks' club in Everglade Town."

"Maybe you should stop wearing that apron that says 'Tom Nook and Proud of It'."

"Shut up Rover."

"How about you get a purple tuxedo that has 'T. N.' in fancy print on the lapels?"

"OK, maybe when I upgrade my store."

"So anyway-"

Nook cut off Rover."It's my stop now! Bye!"

Nook rushed off the train and ran to Nookway. When he got inside, he pulled four furniture leaves out of his pocket, he set them down, watered them and they grew into four pieces of furniture, ready to be sold.

He grabbed twenty sheets of paper, drew all over them and put them into five packs and put them to be sold. He then grabbed a white umbrella and pasted a design on it. After that he took his college notebook and tore out the pages with writing on them and put it on stock.

He had also edited another "Nook Stinks" sign that had been placed out front in the night by pasting "Stinks" on it a second time to condemn the whole phrase. After that he opened the store.

Rover who was on a spy mission saw all of the stuff that Nook did in the last three paragraphs. The objective was to see what Nook did in store before he opened it. He wrote all he saw and sneaked out the window. "Jeremy's gonna promote me for this great work."

"nook doed tis thig an i finck hez gona slel stuf firs he wuterd leefs then he drawd a picther and playd with a umblela and torr up a notboook" was written in large, hardly legible text on some stained note paper.

He ran to Jeremy's house and into the basement where a meeting was going on. "Here, Jeremy. I did it like you wanted me to."

"Thank you Rover. What I want you to do next is to translate what you wrote into readable text," Jeremy said, handing the paper back to Rover.

"OK, I'll type it this time."

Rover went to the desk and started typing. After a little bit he handed the typed sheet to Jeremy. "Here, I typed it."

"Thanks, but you spelled every word wrong though, except Nook, and it hardly makes any sense."

After that he sent everybody on a mission. He decided he would have better luck looking at a security tape of the inside of the store. He waited twenty minutes, then he left for Nookway.

He got to Nook's acre and went in Nookway. "Hi, jerkbag customer. Go away," Nook told him.

"Can I buy the security camera?" Jeremy asked

"That's not for sale," Nook answered

"Yes it is, it says so on the sign." He pointed at a "FOR SALE - 6,500 bells" sign that he told Rex to put there (he made Rex do it because his handwriting looks the most like Nook's.)

"OK, fine," Nook mumbled

Jeremy handed him the bells, took the security camera and ran off.

Nook was glad he swapped the tapes real quick so Jeremy wouldn't see his security tape. He decided to watch it real quick on the Apple TV which he had on stock today. He noticed that he had already swapped the tapes and then swapped the real one back for the empty one. "Cram it!" he yelled.

When Jeremy got home he took the tape out and watched it on his hand-held TV. It showed Nook enter and pull out four furniture leaves from his pocket, set them down, water them and then they each grew into four pieces of furniture.

Then it showed him grab a bunch of paper and he drew all over them and he put them into five packs and placed them on the shelf. He then grabbed a white umbrella and put a design on it. After that it showed him take his college notebook and tear out some of the pages and then put it on stock.

"So that explains a lot. I'll put this tape on the Nook Stinks Club website."

He put it on the website and watched it again, only this time he noticed the cashier's desk was gone.

This might be why Lobo suddenly became rich a day ago. But Jeremy wasn't sure, because he claimed he found some gold in the old abandoned mine.

Maybe he shouldn't worry about it. It wasn't his problem. At least it delayed Nook from upgrading his store to probably about another month, that is if he stole it. Maybe Nook took it out of his store just to stop customers from helping themselves to tips.

Then it struck him; the mine was the perfect place for the Nook Stinks Club hideout!

I bet a lot of you are wondering where Rover the human came from. In our town in Animal Crossing (The Original Gamecube Version) we would always have an extra house that nobody used, so we decided to make joke characters, and Rover was one of them. He would collect bugs, and gyroids and would send weird and badly spelled letters to characters in the town. We had a lot of fun with him.
