Lyle was put in jail for using the counterfeit money that Redd had given him. He did not dob Redd in to authorities though, as he still owed Redd and was in enough trouble as it was. He was also charged for the robbery of Tim and Tina’s house.

 When Tom found this out he felt completely let down by his lifelong friend. He also became slightly depressed after the death of his sister, mother and father. He soon gave up his life in the city and moved to a small country town called Redwall. He found an empty shed with a few gardening tools in it. It was soon renovated and the gardening tools were the first products for sale in Nook’s Cranny. After several store upgrades, Timmy and Tommy went to live and work with Tom when Tim too passed away.

 Redd fled the city, and now travels the country selling rare items in his black Market tent.

 (The barmaid from episode 1 quit her job and became a hairdresser. She now runs the ever-popular Shampoodle.)

 And that is the end of the biography of Tom Nook.

As you know, Christmas is coming up. And before Christmas, all my assignments are due. I’ve been on camp recently, and I have a lot of things to catch up on.

So I’m taking a quick break from blogging and AC:WW, until I get all my assignments handed in.

Catch you later! =)

Part 3 – Tragedy

WARNING: The following story is very depressing and tragic. However, Tom Nook’s life story is very sad and depressing. IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY.

The day after Tom made that tough decision, he began making preparations. He started by phoning Lyle and Redd.

Lyle answered.

Lyle: Who’s this?

Tom: Hey Lyle! It’s Tom. Remember? Anyway, I’m planning to –

Lyle: Oh. You want to speak to Redd. *calls out* Redd! It’s Tom!

Tom was surprised. He and Lyle had been friends since they were young.  He just didn’t understand why Lyle wouldn’t want to talk to him.

Redd: Hey Tom. How ya doing?

Tom: Good. I’m moving to the city.

Redd: Oh.

Tom: Do you think I could stay with you two?

Redd: Sure. When ya coming?

Tom: Tomorrow.

Redd: Well, we’ll get the place reddy (lol).

Tom: Ok. See you.

Redd put the phone down.

Redd: Lyle!! He’s coming tomorrow! We need to get rid of all the stolen stuff now!

Lyle: Why?

Redd: WE CAN’T HAVE HIM KNOWING!

Lyle: But we sold half of it already.

Redd: THEN WE SELL THE OTHER HALF!

Lyle: Why can’t we return it?

Redd: We’ll go to jail!

Lyle: I’d rather be there than be a theif!

Redd: Theives end up there, and you already are one, sissy!

Lyle: Don’t call me that!

Redd: It’s my apartment!

Lyle: That was STOLEN MONEY!

Redd: The apartment is registered in my name.

Lyle: All right. You win.

Redd: Good. We gotta move it to my little shop NOW!

Soon that was done. Lyle just couldn’t stand it anymore. He needed to let it go.

Lyle: Hey Redd, can I borrow a few hundred bells?

Redd: Have a few thousand.

Lyle lost all that money gambling. It was never paid back to Redd.

Back with Tom…

Tom packed his essentials quickly. He told Tina that Timmy and Tommy could have his room.

The next day (Saturday)…

Tom decided to cook breakfast for his family as a farewell. It was a sad goodbye. After  breakfast Tom headed to the bus stop, Tim took Timmy and Tommy out to the park, and Tanya, Ted, and Tina went back to bed. But after cooking Tom had forgotten to turn off the stove…

At the park, Tim’s cell phone started ringing. It was the fire brigade. They told him that his house had been burnt down in a terrible accident, and three lives had been lost.

When Tom boarded the bus to the city, he was blissfully unaware that the three people who had known him from the very beginning, and the house in which he had grown up, where gone.

Two Weeks Later…

Lyle and Redd hide behind a tree as they watch Tim and Tina leave their house, 87 Tanuki Street, Miranda, just like Tom had told them.

As soon as Tim and Tina leave, Redd jumps out from behind the tree and rushes to the flowerpot. Kicking the flowerpot over, he finds the key.

Redd: Well, don’t I love being friends with Toom Nook! *a wide smile spreads across his face*

Lyle: *almost crying* Redd… He’s our friend…

Redd: Shut up and stop being a sissy! Think of everything we’ll get out of this! *imagines piles of cash*

Lyle: *imagines himself in prison, Redd laughing at him*           

Redd unlocks the door. (He has gloves and shoes on. Lyle only has shoes.) Lyle hesitates before Redd pulls him in. As soon as they get to a table, Redd pushes Lyle over.

Redd: Oh sorry! I didn’t mean to do that!

Lyle nods but doesn’t notice himself leaning against the table to hoist himself up.

Four hours later…

Tim and Tina return to their house to find their house a mess and their most valued possessions missing.

Tina: *in shock* We’ve been stolen! I mean – robbed!

Tim: We’ll never pay off the mortgage now…

Tina: Let me call the cops.

Tim: We’ll have to sell the house! We’ll have to move in your parents’ place… And if we ever make enough money, we’ll buy a new one.

Tina: Why did this have to happen just after we’d bought it?! And just before we were about to get insurance?

Soon Tina and Tim move in with Tom, Tanya, and Ted. Renovations had to be made, but Tom and Ted could handle it.

Before Tom knew it, he had two little nephews, Timmy and Tommy.

Tom hated to be a burden to his family. He desperately wanted to get a secure job and move out. But there just wasn’t anything to do in the country. He dabbled as a gardener, and attempted to be a builder, but there simply weren’t enough animals in the country.

So Tom made a desicion he thought he’d never make.

Tom: *sits down at the squishy dinner table* Um…

Tanya: Sea bass sashimi?

Tom: Eh… No…

Tina: Red turnips?

Tom: Yes, PLEASE! Anyway…

Timmy and Tommy: Leave some for us, uncle! … Uncle!

Tom: You want some red turnip? *gives them both some* There you go!

Timmy and Tommy: Thank you! … You!

Tom: I was just thinking that…

Ted: *starts laughing*

Tom: Uh… Dad?

Ted: *stops laughing* Sorry, your mother tells the most HILARIOUS jokes! *starts laughing again*

Tanya: I’m SERIOUS!

Ted: Oh.

Timmy and Tommy: Why must we eat the green things? … Things?

Tina: They’re good for you! They’ll make you grow big and strong!

Timmy and Tommy: But Dad doesn’t eat his! … his!

Tim: *avoids Tina’s glare* I do, you too… *makes a face as he eats broccoli*

Tom: CAN YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME!

Everyone: *stares*

Tom: Sorry. I just need to tell you something important. I’m moving to the city to find work.

Tanya: Where will you stay?

Tom: With my friends Redd and Lyle… until I get enough money.

Ted: There’s no need. You can stay.

Tom: Well, I’m going, whether I have to or not!

Timmy and Tommy: Are you scared of us? … Us? Please stay! … Stay! You can have the red turnips! … Turnips!

I haven’t been playing AC:WW for a while, so I was dying to meet Miki, Mayu’s character, again.

I did and I also met Shania, another nice new player.

I participated it the theme touch event so now my catalog is nice and full Also Miki let me have a blue pansy and a jacob’s ladder from her town!

People are so nice!

Did you know that you can actually design your neighbours’ rooms? Well, it’s up to them where they put it, but you can guarantee that they’ll get a reasonably good H.R.A. score. (Less grumbling!)

This is an expensive measure, but if you are one of those super-rich people, like Mayu (who is also the best and kindest AC:WW player to walk the earth), it can really make your town look a lot nicer.

Things you’ll need:

Lots of stationery (paper).

A full furniture theme or set. Carpet and wallpaper as well.

What to DO:

Send them each piece of furniture as a present to each letter. (Make sure you write the letters properly if you still want their pictures.)

Soon you’ll find all their old furniture in the recycling bin and their house full of whatever you sent them. (This is why I don’t think you should send them shells as presents. I do and it looks AWFUL! 100 bell bags should do the trick.)

You can also do this the other way round: If they have pieces of furniture you want, send them a shell or another piece of furniture, and you’ll eventually find what you want it the recycling bin.

Introduction

Obviously, you’ve picked up bits and pieces about Tom Nook’s life during gameplay. However, there are huge gaps in our knowledge. So I decided to fill in those gaps and create “The Story of Tom Nook”.

Part 1 – Tina’s Wedding

Tom is standing in a room with Tina. Tina is a young raccoon, and Tom is a lot younger. Tina is in a white dress and Tom is in a tux.

Tina: How do I look?

Tom: Beautiful, Tina, beautiful.

Tina: What do you think Tim will think?

Tom: He’ll think you’re beautiful too.

Tina: You remember your speech, right?

Tom: Tina, relax. It’s you and Timothy’s special day. Everything’s in order.

Tina: *suddenly* Where are Mum and Dad?

Tom: Uhh…

Tanya and Ted Nook enter.

Tanya: Where’s the beautiful bride?

Tina: Mum! *hugs Tanya*

Ted: Ho! You forgot me!

Tina: Dad! *hugs Ted*

Tom slinks into a corner, hoping to be able to escape.

Tina: Tom, can you go and check on Tim?

Tom: Sure…

Tina: Thanks, little bro!

Tom leaves the room to find Tim. When he finds Tim (also in a tux)…

Tim: Hi.

Tom: Hi.

*silence*

Tim: Have you ever thought about your future?

Tom: Of course I have! When I complete my education…

Tim: I mean with a girl.

Tom: *flashback to when he was very little and sat under the stars with Sable*

*silence*

Tom: No.

Tim: *looks at classic clock* It’s almost starting! Go take a seat! *hurries out of room*

The day after the wedding. Tom is at a bar with Lyle and Redd.

Redd: Want something to drink?

Tom: No, I’m fine.

Lyle: Dr. Shrunk gave me pills, I can’t.

Redd: Tom, I insist!

Tom: Fine… Sprite.

Redd: Okay… *goes up to the barmaid and whispers in her ear*

Barmaid nods.

Tom is given a sprite.

10 minutes later…

Redd: So, where are they moving to?

Tom: *drowsily* 87 Tanuki Street, Miranda.

Redd: They plan to keep a spare  key under a flowerpot?

Tom: *nods*

Lyle: Redd… We shouldn’t…

Tom: *falls asleep*

Redd: Look, I told you, you don’t have to touch anything. Just… BE THERE.
