LEGAL STUFF

I do not own Animal Crossing, or anything else by Nintendo for that matter. I only own Clyde and Craig.

Clyde's eyes fluttered open. His head was pounding, and his whole body ached.

"Ugh... What happened?" he groaned. He was in a dimly lit room, lying in a small bed. He looked to his side, wincing as he turned his neck. "Ouch..."

"It's okay, you're safe here," said a voice. Once Clyde got used to the poorly adjusted light, he could see that he was talking to a wolf with dark grey fur. "You fell from Redd's Tower, tenkage" it said.

"How am I still alive?" asked Clyde.

"As tall as the tower looks, you were only on the second floor," explained the wolf. "Redd's only built up to three floors. The rest of the tower is empty."

"Ah," said Clyde. "Where am I?"

"This is where I live," said the wolf.

"Nice place you got here," Clyde said, rubbing his arm.

"Thanks," said the wolf. He picked up a glass of liquid. "Drink this, tenkage" it said. "You'll feel better." Clyde took a sip, and immediately spat it out.

"Gah! What the Hell is that?!" he exclaimed.

"It's a combination of all the fruits found in Animal Crossing," said the wolf. "It tastes surprisingly horrible, but it'll heal you."

"It could have tasted like fish," Clyde grumbled as he took another sip.

"Pardon?" said the wolf.

"Never mind," Clyde said, shaking his head as he swallowed the liquid. It tasted awful, but he immediately felt better. "Wait, how did you get the fruit?" Clyde asked. "I haven't seen any trees around here."

"I went to the other side," the wolf said plainly.

"How?" asked Clyde. "I don't know how to get back home anyway..."

"If you're feeling better, I'll show you, tenkage," said the wolf. Clyde nodded. The wolf led Clyde out of the tiny house. They were at the back of a narrow alleyway. "This way," the wolf said. It led Clyde out of the alleyway, through the main road, and back to the alley where Clyde started. The wold pressed a brick at the back, and there was a bright flash. When Clyde opened his eyes, he was at the back of the Town Hall. "Well, see you around," said the wolf.

"Wait," said Clyde. "What're you doing on Redd's side?" The wolf shrugged.

"I felt more at home there," it said. "It doesn't have the same feeling now that it's all urbanised and they build an alleyway in front of my house, but it's still my home. I have nothing against Nook, though, so I don't join in the wars like everyone else does."

"Fair enough," said Clyde.

"Anyway, I'll see you later," said the wolf.

"Wait, what's your name?" asked Clyde.

"Bren," replied the wolf.

"Well, Bren, I'll see you next time I'm in town," said Clyde. Bren nodded, and tapped the brick. He disappeared. Clyde quickly headed to Angus' house, and walked in without knocking.

"What the fuck... Oh, it's you," said Angus.

"Is Cube okay?" asked Clyde.

"Brewster's taking care of him," said Angus. "He's alive, but things aren't looking good. The Able Sisters tried to heal him, but nothing worked. Cube's hanging on by a thread. It'll probably snap soon, macmoo." Clyde sighed. "How did things go at Redd's?"

"Well, I killed Phyllis, and beat the crap out of Bob," said Clyde.

"Great," said Angus. "What about Redd?"

"Yeah, about that..." said Clyde. "I need to talk to Nook."

"I already told him everything," said Angus. Clyde shook his head.

"You weren't there for the whole thing," he said. "Things are different now." He started to walk out. "Next time there's a battle, it might not be so easy." Clyde left Angus' house, and headed to Nook's store. The shelves were stocked, as usual.

"Clyde!" Nook greeted him. "My stock arrived!"

"I can see," Clyde smiled.

"I'm guessing you had something to do with it, yes?" said Nook. Clyde shrugged.

"We have more important matters at hand," said Clyde.

"Angus told me what happened with Phyllis," said Nook. "And all I have to say is..." Nook punched Clyde in the face, then kicked him in the gut. Before Clyde could recover, Nook slammed him to the ground. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me she was working for Redd?!"

"Ugh... What?" coughed Clyde.

"All these years! All these fucking years!" screamed Nook. "She was right under my nose! Feeding information to that bastard Redd! I just thought she wasn't interested in working for me, but she was working with the fucking enemy! And you knew all this time, and never told me!?"

"Everyone knew," Clyde said. Nook kicked Clyde in the face.

"Yeah, that makes things better!" he said sarcastically.

"I thought you knew," said Clyde.

"If I knew, she'd be long dead," said Nook. He pulled out a gun, and pointed it to Clyde's head. "Just like you are!"

"Redd has a human!" Clyde shouted. Nook blinked, and lowered his gun slightly.

"What?" Clyde got up.

"I killed Phyllis, and beat Bob, but a human appeared," explained Clyde. "His name's Craig."

"What happened?" asked Nook. "I assume you gave him a trouncing, yes?"

"Actually, he, um..." said Clyde.

"Don't tell me you lost," said Nook.

"I was tired!" said Clyde. "I had been fighting all day! If I was at my full strength, I would have stood a chance against him."

"Why are you still alive, hm?" asked Nook.

"He kicked me out of Redd's Tower, which was a lot shorter than I thought, and a wolf named Bren healed me," said Clyde.

"Why?" asked Nook. Clyde shrugged.

"He didn't have that same evil feel that the other animal over there do," said Clyde.

"Ah, whatever," said Nook. "I'm glad Phyllis is dead. And it's good that we know they have a human. Wait a second..." Nook's eyes lit up. "Clyde! This is perfect!"

"What?" said Clyde.

"Did anyone see that wolf heal you?" asked Nook.

"I don't think so," said Clyde.

"Then they'll think you're dead!" Nook said excitedly. "Next time there's a battle, you can sneak into the town, and destroy it!"

"How am I going to destroy an entire town by myself?" asked Clyde.

"I've got a little something I've been saving for an opportunity like this," said Nook. "You'll see what it is soon." Clyde nodded, and started to walk out. "Oh, Angus told me what happened to Cube," said Nook. "A shame. He was a crap fighter, but at least he paid his mortgage. I hope he recovers."

"Yeah..." said Clyde. "Maybe..."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: That chapter took way longer than it should have. My apologies. Oh, and don't worry if you didn't get the DBZ reference. No-one did.
