A/N: Okies, I'm gonna get off my ass and write the second chapter.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

­

Feather opened her eyes and looked up at the window. A bright light was showing through. She sighed and stood up.

I must've fallen asleep… oh; I have to work for Tom Nook today… not good

She looked around for a means of telling the time, but she really had no idea what she was looking for.

I'm just gonna take a guess and say it's 8:00

She walked the few steps to the door and swung it open with quite some force.

"Good morning Miss Feather! Is there anything you require?" It seemed louder this time

She was slowly getting used to ignoring the annoying Gyroid. Feather suddenly stopped a few steps away from the strange creature.

I have no idea where Nook's Cranny is

She turned, hating the idea of this.

"Gyroid!"

"Yes Miss Feather?"

"Tell me how to get to Tom Nook's shop!"

"It is in acre 'A-1' Miss Feather"

"Wha…?" Feather had no idea what the Gyroid meant; she hadn't even been here 24 hours yet.

"Acre A-1, Prontera is divided into acres to describe where things are to make it easy! You are currently in acre C-2, although the lines that divide the acres are invisible, you just assume where you are and find your way to where you need to be, go north, and then west for a bit!"

"Would it have been possible for you to tell me that last bit before all that other useless crap?"

Feather walked away, not caring about the Gyroid's shouts in return to the question.

North… and then west for a bit… 'A bit' better not be to long

Following the directions, Feather headed north, or at least what she thought was north. She was heading towards the train station. She couldn't help but wonder what she would have to do whilst working for Nook, but at least it would help pay off her debt for her house.

When she reached the train station, Feather thought back to what the Gyroid had said and headed west. She noticed a small run down building. It seemed to be made of wood. Feather guessed that was where she needed to go and quickened her pace. She saw Nook walk out the front and place a sign on the nearby ground. When Feather reached the shop, she read the sign.

"Double bells day"

What the hell does that mean…?

Feather turned to face the shop. It was rundown and old. There was a sign reading 'Nook's Cranny' that seemed to have been hand written by Nook himself. She thought of knocking before she entered, but decided against it and opened the door.

The place was even worse inside. There were spider webs in every corner of there shop, and the wood seemed to be rotting.

You've got to be kidding me

"Ah! Feather! Are you here to work?" The raccoon ran over to her

"Umm… yeah"

"Good! Good! Are you all ready to get started now?"

"I think so"

"Okay then, before you start work put this uniform on!"

Tom Nook handed her a bundle of clothing. Feather inspected it; it was the ugliest thing she'd ever seen.

"Must I?"

"Yes! Worker's regulations you see! Just talk to me once you're finished!"

Feather walked out of the shop so she could examine the outfit in the light. It wasn't that bad, but t looked too much like Nook's uniform for her liking. She reluctantly pulled the uniform on and walked back inside.

"I'm finished, what now"

"Ah yes, yes. Well now I would like you to brighten up the outside of the shop! Plant these flowers and trees for me!" Nook ran over the Feather once again and shoved some bags into her hands, "Hurry up now!"

Feather once again left the shop; she let the bags fall to the ground and kneeled down over to the left of the shop, and it was a little bare over there, so she picked up one of the bags and examined it. Ripping it open, Feather turned it upside down and let the seeds fall out onto the ground. A bunch of Orange flowers appeared seconds later.

Great. Things grow at an abnormal rate.

She ripped open the remaining bags of flower seeds and watched the flowers appear. She then reached for the two seedlings, and planted them. Feather stood up and dusted the dirt off her clothes. She walked back into the shop.

"I'm finished" she announced.

"Okay, then go and introduce yourself to the people of Prontera, my customers!"

With a nod, Feather turned and left. She had no idea where no head first, so she headed south, away from the shop. It wasn't long before she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Feather! Whatya doing, splish!?"

Feather turned to see Puddles running towards her. Feather couldn't help but smile.

"Heya!" she called in return, waving to the frog.

"Long time no see, splish!"

"Really? I saw you last night remember?"

"But it's a long time to me, splish!"

"Well then that kind of makes sense" Feather laughed

"So what're you doing, splish?"

"Working for Tom Nook, he's got me introducing myself to everyone in town"

"Can I come with you? I have nothing to do, splish!"

"Sure, do you know your way around though? Because I have no idea where I'm going"

"Of course, splish, come with me!"

Feather followed Puddles around town for a while, talking to all the residents. When they had met everyone, Puddles took Feather back to the store and they said their goodbyes. Feather once again entered the store.

"I'm finished!"

"Are you sure you introduced yourself to everyone?"

"Yes, everyone, I'm very sure"

"Okay, then deliver this shovel to Puddles, she wanted one."

Feather took the shovel and nodded, quickly exiting the store hoping Puddles didn't get to far away.

"Puddles!" She called out seeing the frog off to the right. She began to run after her.

Puddles turned and Feather felt relief flood through her.

"Here, Nook wanted me to deliver this to you" she said gasping for breath.

"Thanks Feather, splish!"

"No problem, I've got to go back now. Bye!"

"Bye!"

Feather turned and made her way back to the store for what seemed like the hundredth time this day.

"Oh good! You're back! Okay, I need you to write a letter to Amelia and inform her of an upcoming sale, can you do that?" Nook handed her a piece of paper.

Feather took it with a nod, and went to leave.

"Wait, here's a map so you can find your way to the post office!"

Nook handed her a map. Feather examined it. It was divided up into acres.

Damn Gyroid

"Thanks" replied Feather

She made her way east, that was were the map said the post office was. She noticed a big building.

Thank god not all the places here are as bad as Nook's Cranny

Feather stood outside, and quickly scrawled something onto a piece of paper.

Dear Amelia,

There is a sale on at

Nook's Cranny, it would

be appreciated it you came,

there are great deals.

From Feather

Feather shoved the letter into an envelope and walking inside the building. There was a pelican standing behind a glass window. Feather walked up to her.

"Welcome to the Post Office, how may I be of assistance?"

The pelican had a friendly tone about her.

"I'd like to post a letter"

"Of course, do you have it with you?"

Feather handed her the letter. The pelican took it off her and placed it on the shelf behind for mailing.

"Thank you!"

"Umm… what's your name" Feather asked out of interest.

"Pelly, and by sister who takes the night shifts is Phyllis! And you are?"

"Feather"

"Pleased to meet you Feather!"

"You to"

Both of them smiled.

"I have to get back to work, bye"

"Bye Feather! Drop by soon!"

Feather left, and though of not going back to Nook's Cranny, but made her way there nonetheless.

"I've got an axe here for you, deliver it to Stinky."

Feather nodded and left. She knew where Stinky's house was, but she didn't want to go there. She had hated the cat since she first met him.

He's annoying… almost as annoying as that bloody Gyroid that sits outside my door!

Feather headed over to Stinky's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it!?" came a demanding voice

"I have a delivery for you!"

The door opened. Feather the axe out to him and he snatched it off her. Stinky slammed the door in her face. Feather turned and left, not wanting to be around any longer than she had to. When she reached Nook's Cranny again, she was relieved to hear what Nook said.

"Okay, this is your last task. Get it done, come back to me and we'll sort out payment"

"Okay!"

"Write a message on the bulletin board and advertising my shop"

Feather gave a small nod and ran back to the area in which her house was located. She had seen the notice board there. She quickly wrote the message and then ran back to the store.

"I'm finished!"

"That was quick; I'm just working out payment"

There was silence for a second, and then Nook looked at her.

"After all the work you've done, it all amounts to… 1 200 bells, and I'll keep that as payment for your debt. You now owe only 8 800 bells!"

Feather sighed, she still had no money. Well at least her debt was getting paid off.

"Okay, is that it or is there something else I have to do?"

"That's it! You can leave now! It's getting dark so you should go home soon!"

"I will. Thank you"

Feather left the shop, not wanting to come back.

I'm finished working… I'M FINISHED WORKING!!!!!!!!

Feather couldn't help but grin as she made her way back to her house using the map. The sky was dark and the crickets were chirping. She was still wearing the work uniform, she didn't wan to take it off and put her old dress on.

"Good evening Miss Feather! Is there anything you require?"

Feather went inside, locking the door as a just incase.

She had grabbed an orange from one of the trees to eat. She hadn't eaten for two days now. Once she had finished, Feather went to sit down near the wooden box again, and drifted off to sleep.

Tomorrow… I'm free… to make my life the way I want it…

A/N: I know Gyroid's don't talk like that, but I say they do for the moment. I'll try to get the third chapter done soon. Please forgive me for this chapter's utter crapness.
