Sam paced back and forth in the town hall. "We still don't know how to cure the virus!" Sam said with frustration.

"...Say, what happened to Isabelle?" Cit asked.

Sam's eyes widened. "O-Oh, her? Uhh, she died. Yeah, hehe." Sam lied. He felt his backpack squirm around.

"Stay in the backpack!" Sam whisper-yelled to Isabelle. Luckily no one heard.

.

Earlier...

.

"So Isabelle, do you know how to cure the virus?" Sam asked.

Isabelle pouted with anger. "I'm still mad at you, Mr. Mayor. But fine, to answer your question, no. Galeem and Dharkon were controlling me the whole time, I didn't know how I made the virus."

"Oh, ok." Sam said. A sweatdrop formed. "Say, Isabelle, whattaya say you, uh, stay quiet about the whole, uh, murder thing?"

"ARE YOU KIDDING, MR. MAYOR?!" Isabelle exclaimed. Sam recoiled from the loudness. "First, you KILL me, and next, you want to COVER UP YOUR OWN CRIME?! I oughta report you to Officer Copper! In fact, I'll do that right now!" Isabelle exclaimed as she tried floating away.

"N-No! Isabelle, NO!" Sam exclaimed. He took off his backpack, emptied it, and ran up to Isabelle's ghost. In a panic, he scooped up her ghost and closed the backpack latch.

"Mr. Mayor, let me out!" Isabelle exclaimed.

"Sorry Isabelle, but I'll have to keep you in here..." Sam said.

Present time

.

Viv sighed. "Well, at least there's no zombies here."

The door then opened, and a person walked in. "Heya Pelly, I'm here to pay off my loan!" the boy said. "...You're not Pelly. Who are you people?"

"Oh snap, It's that guy!" Cit said. "The Villager from Population Growing!"

"...Are you sure? Looks like some kinda bull." Wil said.

The Villager looked annoyed. "I assure you, I am a human. So who are you people?"

"Oh, how rude of us!" Viv said. "We're Sam, Viv, Wil, and Cit, from Smashville, Wild World, and City Folk!"

"Err... Huh?" The Villager said.

"Oh, right! He's the first one, he doesn't know there's more!" Sam said. He then proceeded to explain how Chaos Emeralds work, and how they have been travelling through time and space to meet other villagers.

"So confusing... But I think I get it. Well, by that logic, my name's Jeff." Jeff said.

"...Shouldn't it be Pop, for Population Growing? Or even Ori, for original?" Viv asked.

"Nope. Jeff. That's mah name." Jeff said.

"...Well ok. Anyways, we need to cure this zombie plague." Sam said.

"Oh, I found a science kit the other day. Lemme see." Jeff said.

.

Timeskip

.

"Hmm..." Jeff said.

"What is it?" Viv asked.

"This... Looks weird. You know, usually, Animal Crossing is cartoony. But these microbes? They look... Realistic. Almost as if they're from another game." Jeff said.

All the humans gasped.

"I knew it!" Isabelle exclaimed, but through the backpack's fabric, all that could be heard was a murmur.

"Shut up Isabelle." Sam said.

"...What's an Isabelle?" Jeff asked. "But anyways, we're not gonna be able to cure this virus by staying here. We'll need to travel."

"If we want to travel, we'll need supplies!" Viv said as she took out various items.

"And we'll need tools!" Cit said as he took out various tools.

"But most importantly, we'll need a CREW!" Wil exclaimed.

Sam smiled. "A crew, of all the Animal Crossing protagonists! It'll be awesome!"

Everyone then jumped up into the air. "YEAH!" they all yelled.
