Note from the author: BTW, if you didn't read the 3rd chapter, you wouldn't know that (in the 4th chapter,) Michelle was screaming because she was animated. The italic lines is a flashback dream.

Disclaimer- I do not own Animal Crossing.

"Really, DO YOU MIND?"

"Shell, you are 10 now, and you should start waking up at 6:30, like the rest of the family."

"Dad doesn't wake up at that hideous time."

"Well that's dad for you."

Suddenly, I woke up from my dream, breathing fast.

It was probably 6:30 in the morning…

"Oh man," I whispered "where's my family when I need them?"

My tears trickled down my face.

I soon fell back asleep.

-Back in NYC…-

"Where is my baby?" Michelle's mother cried. "Michelle, oh where are you?"

Her husband was praying silently in a corner with Jewel.

Just then, Jewel stood up, and began to wrap her arms around her devastated mother.

Basically, this had been happening since Michelle didn't come downstairs for breakfast that one day.

-Back in Graceton…-

"Rise and shine!" Kiki shouted, thrusting open the window curtains. The sun shone ever so brightly in Graceton.

It took my eyes a little while to adjust to the light.

"I'm making fresh blueberry muffins if you want some."

She wasn't lying. I could smell the blueberries all the way from my room.

"Sure, I'll be down in a little while." I said, yawning and stretching my arms.

I made my bed and changed into clothes that I found in my dresser.

I was wearing a yellow bolero, with a star hairpin.

My hair was put up in a tight bun, and-I have to say- it looked like it would last for a long time.

I went downstairs (to the classic-themed kitchen,) and saw that Kiki had too, dressed out of her pajamas, and was now wearing a shawl just like little red riding hood's. She also had triangle shades.

"Well, G'morning!" Kiki said, stuffing her mouth with muffins.

"Morning!" I said cheerfully, and grabbed a muffin.

"I'm going to explore the town, ok?" I asked, turning towards the door that led outside.

"Um… I wouldn't do that if I were you." Kiki said.

I turned back to Kiki.

"Why not?"

"Well," Kiki said "Tom Nook- a raccoon who owns a store- he is DESPERATE for human workers, because he thinks that they can work better than animals. So he asks them, but he won't take no for an answer."

I thought this over for a moment.

"I'll be REALLY careful!"

Kiki nodded in agreement.

"He usually wears a blue apron with a leaf on it"

She paused for a couple seconds, then shooed me out of the door, smiling.

She reminded me somewhat of my mom.

I dashed out of the kitchen, and into a beautiful morning day.
