Note from the author: BTW, Kiki's room is a lovely pink room. My sister told me that Michelle should have a fight with Tom Nook, because Michelle doesn't want to work at his shop. Lets see what happens…

Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN ANIMAL CROSSING!

Graceton was so beautiful! The flowers were in bloom, the grass was green, and birds were chirping like there was no tomorrow- in a good way.

I walked over to what seemed like a garden, and just stood there and admired it. It wasn't everyday that I could see something as beautiful as this.

Just then, a koala stepped out of a house next to the garden.

"Hello!" She said with a smile on her face. "You must be Michelle. Welcome. I'm Alice. Would you care to come inside for some lemonade?"

This girl was so wonderful. I would feel so guilty if I didn't come inside.

"Sure! I would love to!" I said enthusiastically.

We went inside.

"I couldn't help but notice how stunning your garden looked." I said.

Alice smiled cheerfully, and then she handed me a glass of lemonade.

"Thanks for the compliment!" She said.

We talked for a while, and then she needed to go back to cleaning the house. CLEANING THE HOUSE! I need to hire her.

"Well, I'll see you later." I said, walking out the door.

But before I did, Alice handed me a basket of some freshly baked cookies.

"Here," She said. "Take this as a welcome--to-the-town gift!"

"Oh, Alice! Thank you so much." I said.

She waved goodbye.

Before I went out the door, my mouth happened to spill out these words: "Alice, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Then I walked out the door.

When I was outside, I saw another house just a few yards away. A gorgeous orchard was to left of the house, so I decided to take a detour and look at it.

Fruits of all sizes, shapes and colors crowded around me. I picked some fruits off and almost eat it when a raccoon popped out of the bushes.

"Hey there, kiddo!" He said, sounding like a little kid who had just tried 3 gallons of coffee.

Oh no. Was this the crazy raccoon that Kiki was talking about?

"You must be Tom Nook." I said. "I'm sorry, but I need to go."

I walked away, but Tom Nook raced up to me.

"Wait!" He said in his crazy voice. "Can you help me?"

"With what?" I said impatiently.

"Can you please work for me? Please? Please? Plea-"

"Um… I gotta go…" I scurried off.

Tom Nook kept following me.

"Please? Please? Please? Please? Ple-"

"Look, Nook I DON'T want to WORK FOR YOU, AND THAT'S FINAL!"

Just like Kiki said, Tom Nook wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I… will…pay…YOU!" Tom Nook screamed.

"No thanks, but I already have backup money in my pocket. I bring it wherever I go." I answered.

"What's money?" Tom Nook asked.

I laughed. It was too unbelievable that Tom Nook didn't know what money was, and he owned a store!

"You know, the stuff that you trade for items, like food, clothes, and shelters?"

"You mean BELLS! If you're going to live in this town, you might want to know the important stuff!"

We kept arguing for what seemed like an eternity, but was only really about 10 minutes.

Somehow, Nook won this fight and I'm going to work at his (so called) store tomorrow.

Apparently, I need bells if I'm going to live in Graceton.

It was still light out, so I went around town meeting animals. Some were grumpy, peppy, lazy, and snooty. But I guess I can deal with that. But I CANNOT deal with Tom Nook.

I know that Tom Nook isn't really psycho in the real DS version, but this is just a little twist.
