I literally wrote the most stupid story ever. It was kinda serious in the first paragraph but I just had fun with it afterwards. About 1800~ words too. I realized midway that it wasn't Kappa but Kapp'n, but I like Kappa since he's my avatar too.
The once dream town of Fayscherre is now a wasteland of what used to be. Scrap materials float on the surrounding waters, the once welcoming paths of Fayeschere now deter even the villagers to stroll by it, and weeds cover almost every angle within the town. The villagers visit each other less and less frequently; the whole atmosphere of the town gives off dark gloomy vibrations. The Mayor has caught an illness that causes him to stay immobile and mute, which is a blow to the town's production.

The townspeople had their first gathering for the season in the Town Plaza. "I've read something about this ailment" says Tom Nook, the resident retailer, "it's a disease that usually strikes during the beginning of summer. It's not deadly, nor necessarily contagious, but it takes quite a while to heal."
The townspeople were taken aback. This is the first time they have heard of such a disease infect a resident, and one as important as the mayor!
"Its cure is the blend of five different Perfect Fruits."
"But we can only grow the Perfect Apple", a villager exclaims, "Every other fruit we try to grow in our soil dies."
"That is why you'll need the help of your friends abroad!", Nook answers, a faint smirk arises in his cheek.

All the villagers were disheartened and uncharacteristiaclly unmotivated to help the mayor. Why would they bother? If they leave the town, they leave forever, or at least until 16 other villagers leave too. They didn't have the power to travel to the neighboring towns; much less bring back Perfect Fruits. Calvin, the local humanoid dimwit, however could, and with his fierce eyes of determination, it was no doubt going to be up to him to gather all the Perfect Fruit from the outside. "I will find all of these Perfect fruits, you better believe it, boys!" he shouts as he dashes towards the train station. Little did he know that most of the residents were of the female gender, but ah, that's not what matters.

As Calvin steps foot to the beautifully crafted stone tiles considered to be the entrance of the station, he feels slimy cold fingers across his back. "'Ere ya 'r, matey, I believe ya'r forgettin' sometin'." A voice as rough as a crackling fire uttered, and in its green hand was a shining, red Perfect apple. It was Kappa! "Darn, and 'ere I thought ma' lunch will be eaten all by me-self. But we got more impor'nt things to take care of. Good luck boy. I'mma go back to me fam's island to take care of da kids, we believe in ya!" Oh Kappa, Calvin thought, as always he's where we want him to be. Calvin thanked him and enters the train station. He looks at the board and sees that a town called Vilenok is accepting visitors. Unreluctantly he steps inside the train and was greeted as its sole passanger. After a few moments the gates closed, bells rung, and the engine roared. He was on his way to Vilenok, a town unknown to him.

The evidence of civilazation comes closer as the train rolls on; a park with a beautiful array of hybrids, Public Works never before seen by Calvin, the white sandy beaches, and then houses could be seen from the train window.

The train shrieks to a halt. An automated voice rings out: "We have now arrived at Vilenok, the summery, happy town of the eastern isles. We hope you enjoy your visit!" Calvin couldn't hold his excitement, until he remembers that he's not here for vacation, but to complete a task only he could achieve. He reminds himself that he has to find the local fruit here then promptly leave to the next town. He is the hero his town needs, after all. (or so he thought)


As Calvin steps outside the station he sees a gigantic stone statue of a raccoon, encircled by smaller statues of people with their own unique facial expressions. Sad angry excited shocked. "Weird, the raccoon resembles Tom Nook. Didn't know that guy was famous", Calvin thought. Approaching the statues out of curiousity, he then hears the most captivating melody that ever comes across his ears. It sounded magical, tropical, nostalgic, hypnotizing. He steadies his pace and walks slowly towards the source of the music, as if in a trance. He continued walking and walking until his gaze has fixiated on the plaza.

The sight to behold was the opposite state of what Fayescherre was, it was merry and the beautiful music was coming from a band of villagers. Laughter can be heard amongst the inhabitants, it was an ocassion full of smiles. One particular creature approached Calvin. "Want a drink?", he says with a smile, hand gestures out as he offers the orange fluid, "It's our town's specialty". To Calvin's pleasant surprise he was a fellow human. "Yeah, sure." Calvin exclaims. The drink was tangy and had a slight hint of a bitter flavor. "Welcome to Vilenok my man, we are well known for our hospitality and great weather year-round. Nothing beats this place when it comes to having fun under the sun. I'm Reynold, by the way." says the middle-aged man, who had a raspy tropical accent, "What brings you here?". Calvin was too distracted by the surroundings to listen to most of what Reynold said. "I'm just here to find the local Perfect fruit, sir."
"Our specialty is Oranges. Do you want some?"
"Yes please!"
"Then do follow me!"

They pass a different route that leads northwards. After each passing step Calvin becomes more and more drowsy.
"Where are we going? I see some Oranges up at that tree."
No response. The man's face looked stern yet playful, as if he's trying to control his emotions.
"Can we rest a bit Reynold?"
The same silence. The same face.
"Hey mister, what's going on in here?"
The surroundings seemed to turn more repulsive; the field, more barren. No one seemed to frequent this path. The man finally replies but with a change in tone, although, he was calling someone else. "Ay boss, got 'im!", he called out in a sinister hushed voice. From a trench meters away came out the most horrifying, morbid, disgusting, putrid, ugly creature that Calvin has ever laid his eyes upon. It was a raccoon, not any ordinary raccoon, but a naked one. And one he knew.

"What are you doing here, Nook? And where are your clothes??" says Calvin, still in a state of pure shock.
"You wouldn't want your work uniform dirty, wouldn't you?" says Nook, with a slight sinister grin and a sparkle in his eye. "I am not the Nook you may know, sonny. I am the Nook of Vilenok. This is the first time you and I have met, but all my fellow Nook brothers have relied on me to end the save files of all the humans."
"But, why would you do that?!?! You're insane!", shouts Calvin. He was starting to feel numb.
"Hehe, you must have tried out our specialty. It will leave you paralyzed in an hour or so." Nook continues, "Do you know how badly the Nooks want to be mayor?! We never get a chance. We all thought that we would be the next mayor when Tortimer retires, but now these stupid programmers had to make incompetent human fools such as your mayor run a whole town?"
Calvin felt weaker, but he kept on running his mouth. "But the mayor of Fayescherre was doing great! Our lives have never been better without his hard work. You would make a crazy mayor, I mean look at how you're dressed right now! And why is Reynold under your command? Is he dumb?"
"SILENCE!", exclaims an enranged Tom Nook, "I simply mixed some chemicals to alter his brain into thinking I'm his master. The Nooks are geniuses, after all, and that makes us better rulers than you humans will ever be!"

All hope seemed lost until slimy, cold fingers came in contact with Tom Nook's shoulder. "Don't ya go runin' round hurtin' ma friends!". The island's resident Kappa proceeded to bash Tom Nook in the head until he fell unconcious. Kappa indeed was always where we wanted him to be, and all of them are my loyal friends one way or another, Calvin thought. The middle-aged man, Reynold, choked back tears as he fled southwards. No point chasing after him, Kappa thought. However, Calvin, slumped over the hard ground, barely able to move. With every strength Calvin had left, he told Kappa to gather and blend all the Perfect Fruit available, and to feed it to him and the mayor of Fayecherre afterwards. Calvin also told him to beat the crap out of the Nook in his town, and to tell the truth to everybody. Kappa let out some laughter, "Ye know you coulda gon' to me' fam's island instead. We have som' o' dem perfect fruits too y'know." Oh Kappa.

Kappa brought Calvin along with him to his family's island, and swiftly gathered all the perfect fruit. He mashed them all up and gave a spoonful of the mess to Calvin. To their surprise Calvin could move and talk normally in just seconds. "You did it Kappa! Sweet golly I'm ALIVE!", Calvin cheered, Kappa blushed.

Now to let the truth be known in all of Fayescherre, that is the hard part, or so Calvin thought. Turns out that Tom Nook of Fayescherre has been replaced by another retailer: Reese! Tom Nook's shop is now located far away from the town, up north together with a bunch of other shops. He also was programmed not to be able walk in town anymore. Still, the villagers were shocked upon hearing the news but were relieved that nothing bad happened to them.

And so the duo went to the mayor's house afterwards. The house was filled with roaches. Kappa and Calvin both went upstairs to the mayor's bedroom and fed him the concoction. Instantly Mr. Gerstone was healed. The mayor thanked Calvin and Kappa for their hard work and proceeded to walk to the town hall to fulfill his mayoral duties that he left out during the early parts of the the summer.

"So, Mr. Mayor", Calvin says shyly, as they approach the town hall, "do you think I'd be a good mayor once you retire?"
The mayor smiled. "No Calvin, you're not quite smart enough yet. But I will appoint you as my assistant if you like."
"Certainly sir, I'd be honored!"
"And to you Vilenok Kappa, you were the true hero of the town, what can we do to repay you?"
Vilenok Kappa blushed. "O' golly, I din't expect to be awarded or nothin', I guess I'd like to live 'ere since Vilenok leaves a bad tang 'n da mouth."
"And let it be so", the Mayor declared. "Isabelle, help Kappa find a home in Fayescherre, and let's throw a beach party afterwards, it is summer, after all!"
Isabelle rang back: "But sir, what about the weeds and the trash around the town!"
"Already on it.", the mayor replied, beaming a big set of unbrushed teeth.

The end.
