Tom Nookie

Haunted house

Standing in the cold, stinging snow, Redd shouts from outside Town Hall. "Belle! Would ya hurry up? It's freezin' out here!!!" 

Isabelle stumbles out of Town Hall while buttoning her sweater. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" she yells as she slips some tickets out of her pockets. 

"There you are! What took ya long?" Redd shivers in the snow. 

Isabelle handed him a ticket, "Sorry, I was looking for the carnival tickets. I almost thought I had lost them! Without them, we wouldn't be able to enter the haunted house!"

"Pff- Ya almost lost them? Hah! Last time I checked you were the most oRgaNized person in T/N!" Redd chuckles. 

Isabelle punches his arm, "I AM! There has been more work than usual since the mayor requested we build a flower arch nearby," she nods. 

"Yeah, right. Seems to me missy you've been slackin' off." Redd grins smugly. 

Isabelle raises her eyebrow, "And it seems to me SIR, you are gonna catch a cold wearing your jacket like that!" she says and zips up his jacket. "No wonder you were cold," she giggles. Redd's ears fall back, "Err, thanks..." Isabelle smiles, "no problem." 

They both walk towards the train station under the cloudy sky.

Redd scratches his head, "soo, you said you won these on the radio?" He holds up the carnival ticket. Isabelle nods, "Yup. Dr. Shurk has his own radio station now! He was asking trivia questions and if you answered correctly you won tickets to a scary carnival festival in a town close by!" she states excitedly. 

Isabelle then puts both her hands on her hips, "the question was EASY PEASY!" she boasts. 

"What was the question?" Redd tilts his head.

"An algebra equation!" She grins. 

he laughs, "Of course it was, you nerd!" 

They both laugh and arrive at the train station. Upon stepping onto the platform, Isabelle finds her brother sitting on one of the seats, awaiting the train. She runs up to him, "Digby! What are you doing here?" 

"Isabelle! What a coincidence finding you here. I was just on my way to the Happy Home Academy headquarters. It seems Mr. Nook needs some files for a new house design there, so I am just going to pick it up." he nods. 

"Oh Digby, you are always so committed to your job." She ruffles his head. Digby smiles. 

Redd walks up beside Isabelle. "Ah, if it ain't Belle's brother. Good to see you again!" Redd extends his paw out. Digby frowns and pulls Isabelle aside, "Who do you think you are calling her Belle!? Don't act like you are friends with my sister you fox!" 

Redd takes a few steps back, "Woah err- sorry cousin' I didn't realize you were still salty about me." 

"Don't call me 'cousin!' Why are you following my sister!?" Digby growls. 

Isabelle grabs his arm, "Digby, calm down! He's with me. I won some tickets to a carnival and we are heading there right now." she explains. 

Digby looks at her in disgust, "What!? You invited him??? But don't you remember what he did to Mr. Tom Nook! And the Nooklings!" he exclaims. Isabelle huffs, "Don't be so rude! I told you he's changed, so would you please just let us go on with our day?" His jaw drops, "W-WHAT? NO! OF COURSE NOT! I WON'T LET YOU GO ON WITH YOUR DAY! I CAN'T BELIVE-" Digby sputters angrily. 

Isabelle taps her foot, "Let me guess you are just jealous because I didn't invite you!" 

"THAT TOO!" He crosses his arms.
