Chapter 10

The Snowstorm

Jeremy had just made it home. It was beginning to snow. "I never thought I could meet someone as power-hungry as Nook..." He muttered, pulling out his hand-held TV and inserting a tape.

He watched through what had happened earlier. Jeremy had swiped the security camera tape from the room with Nook's stash. It showed from the time he accidentally tripped through the door to the point where he threw Nook down the trap door.

Jeremy was really tired, he sat down on his hammock and decided to call it a day, but wind was howling outside, a snowstorm had brewed. "I don't think I'd be able to sleep with this wind going on, Jeremy got up after several attempts to fall asleep.

He went onto the Nook Stinks Club website on his laptop and posted up the video. "Nook is getting worse and worse, so we need to catch up with him and come up with our own plan!" He had written in the post.

Nook decided to get up, he had fallen asleep on the cushion but was woken up by the wind. "Oh my, it's snowing outside." Nook sat up. "That reminds me, Christmas is coming soon, maybe I could put up a sale!" It hadn't had felt so close to Christmas before because the weather had been warmer than usual.

Nook knocked down a bunch of boxes containing foam peanuts, behind which was a door. He opened the door, which lead to his basement. Heading straight upstairs to the stash of bells to make sure each and every one was safe. Good, he thought.

"Maybe I should remove the security camera tape so I can keep this little incident all to myself." He said looking in the direction of the camera. "WHAT?!" He gasped, it was on the ground and the tape was missing. Jeremy took it! Nook thought urgently.

"It's not like it really matters..." Nook muttered. He had practically lost his club now, so he had bigger things to worry about. He may have a ton of bells, but without a supporting group it would slip through his hands like grains of sand. That means his customer rate would be dropping! He needed to do something about it fast, before another store takes over his place.

Nook decided that he should try to sneak his way onto the Nook Stinks Club website, he made an account as "Tam Books" and looked at the recent news, however Jeremy was online at the time and he was banned immediately.

Rover was cuddled up in his home, he was lying on his bed, listening to the "soothing" sounds of the Gyroids as he wrote in his journal "snuwe is deap im cwold its blizing uutside bugs r dyin im feel hungnar."

Rover had bugs stored in his basement, but he was smart enough to know that he couldn't eat all of them. The wind was too much, he couldn't sleep. He decided to go onto the Nook Stinks Club website and post some things, and receive the recent news. "Hehehe Jeremy put Nook in the floor door," He laughed quietly to himself while watching the latest video.

He added a comment saying "jermie tats fuhny but u shuud put a laff trak and mabee I shoud do a comentary but wut do ur werds meen y nook hav big bags of kandy muny" he wrote

Jeremy read the comment and invited Rover to the Live Chat section of the site where he would explain everything to Rover.

"Hey Rover, I saw your comment, It seems you don't have a grasp on what Nook's doing these days." He typed.

Rover responded in his stupid grammar-less typing he always does. "jermie so nook hafs a buch uf kandy muny in his huus wuts urjint"

Jeremy had learned how to decode Rover's quirk, by saying all the words out loud and for weird words like "huus" (house) he would try to come up with the word that was closest to it. He typed his response, "Rover, Its not chocolate coins! It's REAL money! Don't you see that?! Nook is rich!"

"wel chuculots beter ten muny i wuuld prefar kandy muny nook is wierd" Rover responded innocently.

"Well, Rover, I do like having you in the club, but it's kind of annoying how you don't really know what going on." Jeremy was trying to be as stern as possible without offending Rover.

"i no wuts goin un we haate nook so weh try to stup him frum ganeing munys i fink."

"Precisely, but, do you know what Nook's been up to? I notice you haven't been checking the site or the notice board recently."

"im bored notis bored is borin"

"Oh come on Rover! We're friends, I guarantee that you will learn a TON of things if you check the site more often or look at the notice board every day."

"i cant chek it nowe"

"Well I'm not saying you have to check it out when it's storming outside!" Jeremy was a getting a little frustrated.

"jermie I haf to do sumthin reel kwik be bac in a momunt." Rover typed.

Nook was still trying to gain access to the site, and realized that anyone could join the Live Chat, either registered or unregistered.

Jeremy looked at the screen, he sat back for a moment then noticed a few messages in the chat section. It read, "Ted Nuuk has joined the chat room." The newcomer had typed a message too. "I uh, hate Nook, uh, yes?"

"Why did you even bother typing the uhs?" Jeremy responded, a bit suspicious.

"Well, uh, I don't use uh, computers a lot uh, and uh is an easy thing to uh, type, yes?" The mysterious person responded.

"I remember figuring out a while ago that Nook doesn't use computers a lot." Jeremy wrote, realizing that Nook was probably the other user.

He responded "Don't offend me." and then after that he corrected himself "Uh, I mean Nook, not me."

"OK, that's enough! From the first message you typed it was blatantly obvious you were Nook!" He said shortly before banning Nook from the chat.

Rover had come back. "nook is onliin now cun I talck to him I wunna nowe if wut you sayd is troo"

"Rover! You should believe me! Why should you wait for that egotistical idiot to confirm my word!" Rover was really annoying Jeremy.

"ohcay ohcay i beliv u I haat nook stil I jus thuut he wus cooler tan u wen I thout he wus famuz"

"How about after he ruined your birthday party?"

"he suks"

"Well, it's hopeless, I'm leaving now, see you later!" Jeremy went offline. He needed to blow a little steam, so he went in his basement and turned on his aerobics radio for exercising.

Nook was dumbfounded, "How did that jerk find me out! Just because I've very recently gotten a computer that he thinks I'm me! That jerk!"

Jeremy looked outside, nothing could be seen except white, because snow coated his window. The wind calmed down though, he sat down on his bed, readying himself for sleep. Maybe I should keep all the major plans and recent news from being seen by Rover...

The next day Lobo had found out what had happened between Nook and Jeremy and demanded his money back from Nook. "Give me the money back! I'm going to return it to the good animals that it used to belong to! You had me fooled, you confounded jerk hole!" He yelled at the cowering Nook.

This is my favorite chapter, because it has funny writing and it also has my favorite Nook quote. It also is a spoof off something funny I did with my brother. We role played an Animal Crossing online chat room and everyone would hate Nook, actually, I think that's where the whole premise of the story came from.
