Oh Tom Nook

"Earth to (y/n), everything alrighty there?" Rosie waved her paw in front of (y/n)'s face, impatiently.

(Y/n)'s eyes snapped back into focus, suddenly remembering where she was. "Ah, sorry Rosie, I was just thinking.."

Rosie frowned "you must've been thinking really hard to ignore me for so long. In fact, you were zoned out for long that you completely missed Tom Nook!"

If Rosie's loud voice hadn't gotten her attention before, it certainly had now. (Y/n) felt her stomachs drop, beginning to feel uneasy "He's been reminding me to pay back my debt, Rosie, I don't know what to do..." All she could do was stare at Rosie pathetically.

"Well... how much do you owe him?" Knowing Rosie, she hadn't meant any harm with the question - however, it still hit hard.

"Uh, like..-" Rosie cut her off "Wait, no, don't tell me. We're going to get your mind off this debt, okay?" Those were words she needed to hear, (y/n) was thankful.

"Thanks, that means a lot." Smiling, both girls asked in sync, "So what do you have in mind?" After giggling a bit, they settled on a plan.

Three hours later, at sunset, (y/n) headed back to her home, alone. That was fun, she couldn't have thought of any other splendid way to spend her time - however, now that the fun was over, she was back to thinking about Tom Nook.

'What am I going to do? I'll never get enough bells to pay him back...' She enjoyed being on the island with all the villagers, but didn't enjoy labouring for hours on end just to get bells to pay Tom.

Yes, she could go tarantula hunting, but she wasn't very good at that. Fishing was another option, but all she seemed to catch these days were tires and sea bass.

One of her biggest problems directly had to do with what little bells she had; she needed the bells in order to spruce her island up. If she gave away all her bells, how would she ever afford anything on the island? She'd have to sell what little objects she'd collected and obtained.

It was well past midnight when an idea struck her, nobody would ever be able to know and she'd have to find a way to get Tom to go along with it.

She got up, having not rested, 'today is going to be a long day.'
