Okay since I finally got a review I decided to publish the next chapter. THANK YOU SO MUCH! SO here it is. BTW it isn't like the story of the game was, thats why it's called a fanfiction it's not suppose to be the same. I do not own any of the characters. I mean you know that right? Okay.

After we closed up, I went to the town hall, getting my mail.

As I walked in, I noticed Phyllis talking to Pelly. When they saw me come in they fell silent. Phyllis grabbed her purse and walked over to the door.

"Pardon us…" Pelly mumbled to me and went over to the mail department.

"You shouldn't deny something like that Pelly…" Mumbled Phyllis and then the bell of the door chimed as she walked out.

"W-what was that?" I asked Pelly.

She sighed and mumbled softly.

"Pete sent Phyllis a love letter again…She bragged about how stupid he was for him to love her…and then stated I was jealous of the matter…"

My eyes widen. It was the love triangle again. I had overheard someone explaining about Pete having a crush on Phyllis; Pelly's older sister. But everyone, beside Pete knew that Pelly loved him. Mable told me it has been going on much more this week.

"You are though aren't you?" I asked skeptical.

"Who would LIKE Phyllis?! She's always saying something rude she even makes fun of Pete behind his back!"

I guess I was right. Pelly was jealous of Phyllis.

A loud snoring came from the back. We turned to see Mayor Tortimer sleeping in his office chair.

I then explained in a much hushed voice

"But, don't you get a lot more admirer's than Phyllis? Maybe she's jealous by that…"

I had always remembered even in high school Pelly would always have secret admirers.

"That's not the POINT Sable! You should at least understand my dilemma!"

"W-what are you talking about?" I asked cautiously, not sure if I wanted to hear more gossip that included myself. Such a small town we live in.

"You and Nook of course… You loved him, but he left you for money! It's kind of the same thing if you think about it!" Pelly's voiced seemed to have risen.

My freckled face started heating up.

"Who told you that…T-that's a lie?" I whispered frighten.

"….Goldie…" She whispered softly.

"…..May I have my mail now?" I had asked very irritated.

I started to walk back toward the shop.

Never tell a gossiping person anything! They will turn your words around and tell some other animal!

I bumped into something soft. I looked up and noticed officer Copper, the police dog in our town.

He smiled at me.

"You shouldn't be walking this late at night, what if there is something out here?"

"W-well you are on watch, I'm sure I am pretty safe officer copper." I said moving to the side.

He nodded and said good night to me and headed off onto the path.

As I stood a far from the shop I noticed a dark figure standing at the door. I had remembered Mable saying to had to go to the city to by more supplies. Was she back so suddenly? She had the extra key why would she stand at the door?

I walked forward and noticed this wasn't my porcupine of a sister.

"Um we're closed; you may want to come back in the morning." I tell the tall figure.

His face turned toward the light of the moon. HE had dark brown hair, and a black mask covering his eyes.

It was Tom Nook…

He sat in one of our comfy chairs and stared into the fishbowl on our coffee table. I had invited him inside so he could discuss why he was here. He had on a dark company suit and a sharp red tie. He seemed very business-like, if only his past could see him now. His face as always was handsome and his dark mask showing his sparkling onyx eyes. I blushed softly and sat in the other chair across from him.

"Why are you not attending your store?" I asked.

"Sable… I need your help." He whispered softly toward me. Tom's tone showing grief and misery

"I made a deal with someone in the past…"

"With whom did you make this deal with?" I asked toward Tom. I was wondering in my mind why he needed me for help.

"You may not know him…He goes by the name of Redd."

I had heard this name before, from my other sister in a letter.

"I've heard of his name from my sister…" I mumbled.

"Your sister…Mable knows of him!?" He seemed worried and shock at the same time.

No one, not even Tom Nook knew of our other sister. The oldest one who left after our parents had died. She had sat out to find her own calling since I was old enough to take care of Mable myself. I don't talk with her as much as Mable does; actually I try to keep my distance from Lable, who changed her name to Labelle.

"My older sister…Labelle knows of him. She lives and works in the city. In one of her letters to Mabel she speaks of him as a sleazy business man."

He smiles softy.

"I did not know you had another sister…And yes that describes him well…"

"I do not speak of her…"

His smiled disappeared from his mask face. The gloomy face of his always made my heart beat abnormally.

"Well as you know Redd is a business man. We actually used to work together when I was beginning my future. "

"In the city…" I mumbled softly.

"…Yes in the city Sable…" He mutters knowing my thoughts of the City. The City that had changed Tom Nook; the thought broke my heart.

"What was the deal you made…?"

"He gave me 150,000 bells to start my career…And told me when I'm managing money on my own I'd owe him back."

I nodded toward him to go on.

"I had told him It was my promise…And as sleazy as it was. I owed him more than I bargained for."

"W-what did you owe him?" I asked skeptically.

"….I has to give him my whole business…"

"WHAT!?" I asked him in horror. He wiped his brow and turned his head back to the fishbowl.

"Sable, I didn't understand. I thought I'd just have to pay him back. But I was wrong. When I'd keep sending him the money he would repeat that this is not what he wanted but thanked me in gratitude. I called him up and asked him what the get-up was. He explained to me, that he should own my store since he had gave me the money in the beginning to start that business. It all made since. I now knew why Redd was so kind enough to give me the money! He was a sleazy Fox and I fell for it!"

"…Please calm down. That was your mistake was it not? Why are you coming to me for help…?" I then gave him some tea he sipped it breathing in and out.

"You're the only one. That has to understand…You have to come and help me keep my business! Whatever I can do I need your help! COME TO THE CITY WITH ME! Explain to him I can't do that…"

"I-I just…Why is it me you're coming to? Tortimer may be able to help you…." The mayor must be able to help Tom.

"He can't know what I did! He can't know what happened at the city, the money I used to start my business is Dirty money!"
