A/N: Yeah, this chapter's a little shorter. I couldn't think of much I guess ^^;;

*** = Scene change

Whoever said women talk too much hasn't met this guy. I've known him for uh…what, ten minutes and he explains to me why he moved here. Something about wanting to get away or something rather. Eh, I wasn't listening 99.8% of the time. Whatever, it's not important.

For once, I actually was grateful that Tom Nook stopped us. Greedy people can be helpful at times.

"Welcome welcome! I see that I have two customers today. How can I help you?" he says cheerily. Right now, I wanna rip off the grin that he's wearing. But I can't, damnit

"Uh…yeah, we're selling fish," Ryan spoke up first. I'm not much of a talker anyways. We both held up our fish. I think we scared the hell out of Nook. Damnit, we didn't scare him to death! Aurg!

"Well well, let me see what you have to sell." He says with a weak smile. Phony.

Being me, I showed him the Red Snappers first…

Then the Barred KnifeJaws…

And the Coco thingy last…

Mwahahaha…

"Pay up." I smirk, leaning against his counter. He gulped.

"Yes yes, I will." He shuffled over to his register and handed me the money.

"Kay, I'm done here." I announce, whistling to myself. I began to walk out until Bryan or Richard or what's-his-face asks me to wait.

I hate waiting. This better be important.

"Could you show me to the museum?" he asks. Can't you read a map?

"Alright…" I sigh. Of course, I didn't know where it was myself so we took about an hour to get there.

I hope he thinks I was doing it on purpose…

"Here we are. Ok, I'm going now." Must…run…

"Don't you wanna see the fish?"

"No."

"Or the art?"

"No." Damnit! Leave me be!

"C'mon…there's nothing else better to do."

"Fine! Geez…" Groaning, I walk in with him.

The first thing we see is a sleeping owl. I wish I had my firecrackers with me now.

"We better not disturb him," he whispers. I just roll my eyes. He starts walking to the aquarium and I start leaving.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Home. I've changed my mind, I have something to do."

"Oh…well…see you later then." He slightly waves at me.

"Yeah yeah." Pulling out my umbrella, I started to leave.

***

Strange, I just met him today and he starts getting friendly. He must've been one of those kids who sit in the back of the classroom and stay quiet. Probably some kind of loner. Oh well, he's gone now. Creepy kid.

I put down my journal and turned off the light. It's still raining and it's 12 AM. Ugh, may the Sun god Ra devour your pathetic raindrop souls.

It's morning already? I turn to check my clock and it's about…

12 PM.

Whoooo…I slept for 12 hours, oh joy.

Same process, cept without the umbrella and stupid train car model. Why do I even have that thing?

Yay! It's sunny! But the floor and grass is still wet. Ehhhh…

Hearing a beeping noise, I turn to my mailbox. Oooh, I got mail. I open the box and search through it.

Spam. Spam. Junk. Junk. Spam. Junk. Hey, what's this? A present?

Naturally, I tore open the package before I read the letter.

It's the fire shirt! Yee!

Wait….Not Yee….

I glance at the letter. Oh God.

It's from Ryan.

Let's see what the moron has to say…

"Dear Maria,

I didn't want this to get wet, so I sent it.

            -Ryan."

            I stare at his house for a moment.

            …Idiot.
