Yep! Posted early! 'Who is Rover?' has reached over 2000 views! I'm so happy :) I made the longest chapter of the story early for you guys! Thanks!

I counted the bit of money I had and found just enough to get me out of that town. Enough for the bus to drive me out of there. I had calmed down after awhile, and I knew that getting out of there as soon as possible would be the best choice to make at that time.

Writing on the walls was a bit extreme- I guess that letter was quite overwhelming. Thinking about the letter, I reached into my pocket to check if it was there. It was folded up exactly the way I put it. I sighed in slight relief, then I walked out of my (former) house.

Before closing the door, I took another glance at the house. When I had forgotten about Rover for such a long time, it held...memories. I guess I was a bit attached to the place...I was starting to like the town...But, Rover had to ruin it...

I finally closed the door and walked outside. The moon had rose in the sky already, and it left just a bit of light to guide me to the bus stop. Each step I took gave me even more grief; for my life I had dreamed of ever since I was little was ruined, and the friend I had made just...disappeared.

It wasn't long until I was sitting inside that same bus I rode when I first arrived. It held the same feeling I once had, as well. The nerves and worry...

"The first step in starting your new life is getting on the bus!"

"Oh, hi."

"What is your name?"

"Uh, Dawn. What's yours?"

"Rover."

That moment when we met...it never seemed right at the start. I wondered what it was that made the cat seem...odd. I tried to imagine how differently I would've looked at it if it were anybody else. What if that weird-looking map was one of the things that made him look suspicious..? I couldn't even read it. He also told me to go to Town Hall before I did anything else...I didn't understand. What difference would that have made?

"E-excuse me..."

"Hello there! Have we met before?"

"No, we haven't. I'm new to Animal Crossing."

"Really!? Wow, a new member of this town! I'm Bones! What's your name, yip yip?"

"My name is Dawn."

That moment when Bones and I first met was probably the best thing that happened in Animal Crossing. He had a comforting smile, and he was so friendly. He would actually listen to me. I enjoyed talking to him and visiting him. But...the one thing that bothered me was...

"Th-thanks..."

"It's no problem, yip yip! Just remember you can give me a call whenever you need anything! I'm glad you remembered to stop by Town Hall before you did anything else."

"Yeah, I- wait...remembered?"

"Yeah! Remembered."

"Um, Bones...have you met a cat named Rover?"

"A cat by that name does not live here in Animal Crossing."

I was... frightened. He looked at me, still, with his big smile- saying that I remembered to stop by Town Hall before anything else. How would he have known that? And when I asked about Rover- why did he answer in that way? It was never really answered in the letter- but, from what I could make out of it could be that Rover replaced his memories with these phrases. To be functioned to say or answer using these words. Brainwashed.

"Hello!"

"Hello."

"You must be the new girl moving here. Dawn, correct?"

"Y-yes...that's me."

"In that case, welcome to Animal Crossing! My name is Pelly. I work here at Town Hall."

Pelly was...kind. It was something you'd expect from an employee at Town Hall. Nothing new. But...there was one thing I noticed for sure.

"Actually, I didn't see much...B-but, I did meet some people."

"People? Who?"

"...Bones..."

"Bones is a very nice dog! You must've immediately made a friend once meeting him!"

"...And Rover."

...

"Who is Rover?"

Yet, somebody else who didn't know Rover...

"I turned the light on for you"

How kind of him huh? Not.

It was lingering in my mind. That phone call was one of the worst things that happened. That was when I was VERY curious who Rover was. I needed answers. But...how could I if all the animals in Animal Crossing forgot about him?

It was after that I started to realize I would be stuck in that town for a long time. I used up all my money to get there, and to get out I would probably need the same amount I had to start with. But, after receiving that letter, I decided just being out in the woods in my old town was a better choice than to stay in Animal Crossing. I had just enough money to have the bus drive me out of there.

The nightmare...it definitely was a sign something was going to happen; something that DID happen. Even if it was awhile later.

The letter that I had in my pocket was the one thing I will always keep from that town. That messed up town. Even though I wanted away from there, I needed to listen to Bones...I needed to remember Rover.

It isn't over yet! Just one more chapter, guys! Get ready for the final chapter on June 9th-14th! Review if necessary! :)~
