Gyroid Translations
Chapter 3
Disclaimer- I don't own Animal Crossing, don't sue...
A/N- I was going to rant at the fact that there weren't any reviews for chapter 2, but I figure that's a waist of time. Whatever, well here's chapter three, so tell me what you think about it. And I do appreciate all of you who did review chapter one. Thanks!
And remember, this is not supposed to be taken seriously, just for grins and giggles. No planning whatsoever.

I woke up early the next morning, at about four in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready for another day of addicted listening. Puck and Treble were still talking away about music and sports, mostly ignoring each other. So I got up and fixed myself a bowl of cereal. Where this all comes from, I'm not exactly sure, as I have no kitchen, but whatever. The cereal was good.
I went to sit on the floor again and listen to them talk, when I realized something. Anicotti had only said that she would let me borrow the translator. Yesterday, when I had taken it from her, I was so skeptical and excited that I had completely forgotten about or overlooked that little detail. I frowned; I knew for sure that I was far too addicted to the thing to give it back to her in a couple of days
Hey, I thought, she had only had it for one day, and she was already trying to push it off on someone else (I wasn't about to admit that she had only been being nice and trying to share the fun), maybe she really didn't want it that bad after all. I decided that when the sun came up and there was a chance that she was awake, that I would go over to her house and ask her if I could buy it off her. It was worth a shot. If she said no, I could always keep it for a few days, and then borrow it again later. I was good at returning stuff, unlike the rest of the animals in Phaze.
But for now, I quit thinking and came back to the randomness in front of me. Now Puck was talking about the coolest things in any sport. And Treble was humming a few bars of music from some song I didn't recognize. I had noticed that when he didn't know what to say, he would break out into song, well, more like hums.
"Okay, homeruns are the coolest thing in baseball because it takes a lot of talent and force to get a ball to go that far. But a runner getting caught in between bases has to be the most exciting aspect of baseball. I mean, it's the closest thing you get to suspense in baseball. Will he make it? Will he not make it?"
He went on like this for a while, talking about all sports, not just baseball. It actually made me want to go watch a baseball game or a soccer game. But it wasn't until later that Treble quit humming. And he only quit humming when Puck said something about arena music.
"Have you ever noticed that arena's always play really crappy music?" Treble asked out of the clear blue.
Immediately Treble quit humming. "Yeah, they always play really new music, and none of it fits what's happening. Or they play stuff that makes you want to hurl. You never hear any good classic rock. It's all the same stuff."
"Yeah, if you were blind you could go to a hockey game, then go to an arena football game, and not know which game was which. It's dumb. And I bet the players get sick of the same stuff all the time too," Puck said. He was starting to sound like a teenaged boy.
I wanted to laugh so hard, some of the stuff they said was just so funny. But I dared not laugh, for fear of missing something even funnier or more cosmic. I wished I had a tape recorder, but they don't make them here in Phaze.
After about another hour of that, I decided that I'd heard enough about music. Treble was starting to repeat himself. So I turned him off and went back down stairs and grabbed my Mega Puffoid, I always remembered that one's name because it amused me. I placed it next to Puck and switched him on.
"— oh, they are just so cute at that age. Then they start to grow up and they get awkward looking. Puppies are just so precious!"
Apparently this one had a thing for pets. Instead of calling it puffoid, I'm going to call it Phydeaux . Now I was going to get some really cosmic conversations going on. Sports fanatic and pet lover. I had no idea where those two topics were going to overlap.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, I decided it was time to go see Anicotti. If she wasn't up by ten, she was a lazy butt, and I was going to get her up. No never mind that I couldn't get into her house.
Reluctantly, I left the house, and the gyroids, still speaking randomly, and headed to Acre D-4. It wasn't that long of a walk, especially if I ran, and if Anicotti was cooperative I could get home without missing much. Reaching her front door, I went right in. But she wasn't there. Uhg, now I had to go searching for her. But she couldn't be far off, because I had been able to walk inside her house.
I found her a minute later, staring at the dark shadow of a fish in a pond by her house. I tapped her on the shoulder.
"Anicotti?" I asked, suddenly shy. I really didn't want her to say no.
"Oh, hey Liz! Good morning! I didn't expect to see you so soon. Well, what can I do for you?" She asked.
I hesitated. "Well, you know that translator this I borrowed from you?"
She nodded.
"Well, I was wondering if I could buy it off you. I'll give you six thousand Bells for it!"
Anicotti shook her head. My head drooped. "No," she began. "I don't want money. What else do you have?"
My head came up. "How's about some clothes?" I asked. "I have a couple of nice shirts here, and a parasol here that you might like?"
She made a show of thinking about it. "Let me see them."
From deep within my insanely big pockets I pulled out three shirts and a parasol. She looked them over one by one.
"Okay," she said finally, eyeing the Noble Shirt. "I'll take your Noble shirt, your Green Gingham shirt, and your paper parasol!"
I sighed inwardly as I handed them over gladly. "Thank you so much Anicotti!" I said truthfully. I had been really worried there for a second.
The green mouse just shook her head. "Don't worry about it. But you have to promise to let me borrow it from you every once in a while." I nodded vigorously. Then I took my leave, and raced back to my house. I had been gone longer than I had intended to.

A/N- okay, that was kind of weird, but that's the way it turned out. As I said before, this is just for grins and giggles and I'm writing this off the top of my head. So tell me what you think. Review. The button is just down here in the lower left. Thanks again!
oh, almost forgot, for those of you who weren't sure at the pronunciation of the puffoid's name, its spelled Phydeaux, but said like "Fi-do". I like the name, but not the spelling. Besides it looks cooler my way. It's French.
