When I See You Again (Tom Nook x Crazy Redd)

Subchapter 3: Potato's Other Moments.

Remember that one scene from Chapter 6 where Redd found Potato singing 24 Hour Cinderella in the shower? That wasn't the only time he saw him. Here are those moments now!

Moment 1: Tarantula Island.

After a bit of random flying Potato and Redd finally land on another Tarantula island. Redd does his Valhalla first, but notices Potato is still on the plane. He walks up casually to Potato and baps him on the back of the noggin with his paw,

"OI!"

"OW! What?!"

"Tarantula island cousin! I can't be the only one yelling Valhalla at the top of my lungs!"

"Sorry bout that! Hold on, lemme get my net."

"Geez I swear, ever since you got that music app on your Nookphone you've been an airhead."

"Ay, judge me as you wish, I can now vibe to Die Young by Kesha anywhere now!"

"Where are you getting these songs? I've never heard of these."

"That's cause ya listen to nothing, but K.K. Slider!"

"Whatever! Shaddap! Help me catch some tarantulas!"

"Yeah yeah."

They both step into the island, lesser energy than usual. Tarantulas charge at them, Redd catches a few, Potato however just grooves to the rhythm to whatever he's listening to now.

"What are you doing?!"

"Sorry bro! This is my jam!"

Potato puts his hands in the air like he doesn't care and sways them and his hips side to side. A tarantula notices Potato's distraction and targets him, Redd just now notices this, but is too far away to intervene. He calls it to attention,

"H-HEY WATCH OUT!"

Potato keeps dancing. The movements however, are hard enough to shake the cord of his earbuds and unplug them (Yes, he broke). From his phone, full volume, plays "No One's Around to Help". The tarantula attacking Potato stops, dead in it's tracks. It waits there for a moment, processing what's happening at the moment, and then starts following along with Potato's movements. After a few moments, another tarantula notices the movements and follows suit. Then another, and another, and another, until a line of dancing tarantulas dance along side with Potato. Redd managing to snap back to reality and maintain his gravity, he whisks up all the distracted tarantulas like a plate of spaghetti.

Moment 2: Wanderlust.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Redd stands at Potato's doorway slightly concerned. He was gonna go up to him and ask if he would bake for Nook's birthday, but he seems busy at the moment.

"Well it wasn't MY fault the f*beep*ing timeline imploded!"

Redd continues to listen and uses the recording app on his Nookphone and sets this moment into stone. It's not everyday you hear something like this.

"Screw you! It all could've been prevented if Jimmy didn't f*beep*ing YEET the damn flextape into the trashcan, WITHOUT READING THE DESCRIPTION, MIND YOU."

Redd giggles, trying not to have Potato notice him.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'BECAUSE RUSSIA'?! YOU D*beep*CKWAFFLE PEEN-INHALING *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* BUCKET!"

Redd enters the building, "How are you doing that with your mouth?"

"AW SH*beep*T"

"Dang dude, I thought you were resident representative. Not a sailor."

"Shadap! I'm angy..."

"Think baking will get it off your mind cousin?"

"... Gents, this ends today's session, imma bake me some shortbread."

Moment 3: Coffee.

"Zzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Um... Potato?"

"...zzzzzzzzzzzz"

"P-Potato?"

"Zzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Hey!" Nook paps him on the head.

"*Snort* I REFUSE TO PLAY ROCK PAPER SCISSORS WITH YOU, YOU HAVE A BOOGER ON YOUR FINGER! ... wat."

"You were gonna ask me something?"

"YES! That is the thing that I was about to thing yes that mhmm..."

"... and that is?"

"*processing...* *ding!* Bridge!"

"Are you okay Potato? You seem rather... slow today." Isabelle asks waiting for something.

"Indeed! It's rare to see you this low energy, are you well?"

"I spent 2 nights awake reading Hazbin Hotel, Sam and Max, and Yakuza fanfiction so... that might had something to do with that."

"Hmm..."

"Mr. Nook! Your coffee is ready!" Isabelle says bringing Nook his mug.

"Splendid!"

"So anyways... whasiwaszzzzzzzz..."

"POTATO!"

"Mhmm! Yes, I am the Potato."

"... Isabelle, do we have anymore coffee in the pot?"

"Yessir!"

"Make another mug if you may."

"Roger!" She says with a salute.

"How do you like your coffee?"

"I never really drank coffee... my ma wouldn't let me cuz she said, 'If you have more energy than you have now, you'll shut down, Anak ko'." He says in a Filipino accent, "Can't say I remember having any before..."

"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to give you some."

"Done!" Isabelle says proudly.

"Well let's hope you enjoy it the way I like it."

"Mmh... s'hot."

"Well... yes... it's coffee. However it is one of the best beverages on this god-given earth! This life rejuvenating coffee bean filtered sustenance is what keeps hard workers such as you and I able to keep at it! And it's wonderful to see someone such as yourself take part in this wonderful experie-"

"Mr. Nook, he already left."

"Oh... well I believe I prattled on long enough, Back to work!"

~10 minutes later~

Redd enters residential services looking a tad mortified. Nook walks up to him,

"Hello again hon!" He kisses him on the cheek, "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"He... harvested... EVERYTHING."

"I beg your pardon?"

"He harvested the fruits, the flowers, furniture and coins in the trees, rocks, wood, EVERYTHING. It just... disappeared!"

"How could you tell it was Potato?"

"I just saw a flash of blue, and found him knocked out in bamboo forest on a pile of resources."

"... I think that's the last time i'm giving him coffee..."
