GCB Fanfics: The Fanfiction Project

June 8th, 2003


It was just another day on the job.

Tom Nook wasn't here for shopkeeping. However, when someone is put in a different place, they still tend to revert back to what they did before. Tom Nook was no different. He was the shopkeeper of the little village that the 64 had created, and he was proud of it.

He missed the peaceful village, old Tortimer the mayor, the policemen, Copper and Booker, and the villagers... Even Monique. But he had one old friend to keep him company.

Mr. Resetti sighed, leaning against a nearby wall.

"So Nook, how's business?" The Tanuki shook his head. Business was clearly not booming, and the holdup that Bowser had tried to pull yesterday hadn't helped matters. Luckily, the big koopa had been beaten up by Mega Man and Zero, who were also shopping at the time.

"Bad. I just don't think this is my element, ho ho... Back at the village, I could overcharge those animals to make loads of money for myself. But here! These guys are sharp... And they have guns. I thought those were illegal."

"Not here, apparently."

"Yeah, Resetti. So, how bout you?"

"Eh. No reset buttons nearby, I guess that's a good thing. But I guess... I kinda miss it. I pretend to be annoyed by yelling at those villagers, but ya know... It's fun. And it sure beats trying to cover up the last scandal Tortimer has gotten mixed up in. Man, that guy... I thought turtles were wise!"

"Stereotype, my friend."

Mario and Luigi, the plumbers, popped their heads in at this.

"What-a is that-a? Stereotype? I've-a never heard of it! Mamma-mia!"

Only, Auron, looking at katanas in the background, caught the irony of this statement. He chuckled a little, but then groaned. Tidus and Yuna were headed towards the shop. Put those two together and they turned into fifth graders.

Nook and Resetti were really out of their element here. In a place were competition and fighting were key, they were just a nice duo of mole and raccoon.

They weren't cut out for this.

Tidus and Yuna walked into the shop, and looked around.

"Nice place you have here, Sir Nook..." Tom smiled.

"Just Tom Nook is fine, Lady Yuna. Feel free to browse."

Auron chuckled again, in the background.

"Just try not to carouse..."
