After a long journey, through many different towns Rayni finally arrived at a place called Acrewood.
She had wandered alone all night before a bus had pulled up alongside her.
The driver Kapp'n offered her a lift. Welcoming a comfy seat to put up her feet, Rayni gladly accepted the ride.
Just as she had sat down and began to doze sleepily a cat sat in the seat beside her.
'Hello' he purred, 'I'm Rover'. Rayni sat up in her seat and introduced herself. 'What a cute name, perfect for a young girl like yourself' Rover Replied.
He continued to ask Rayni questions about where it was she was going, something she wasn't entirely sure of herself. He asked her the name of the town she was going to, she mulled this over for a second, imagining herself somewhere with friendly animals, thick with forest trees situated not to far from the ocean.
She had read about a town called Arewood many years ago, the animal there were always friendly and creating adventures for themselves, Pooh, Piglet, Tiger, Eyor and many more. She longed for a town where everyone got along, a place like Starlite used to be. 'Acrewood' she replied, now sure that this is where she wanted to be. 'Well Acrewood certainly is beautiful!' Rover beamed, here I have a copy of the town map!
Spying a house for sale, all alone at the bottom of a Canyon Rayni squealed with delight! She claimed the spot straight away hardly able to contain her excitement.
Rover watched over Rayni until the bus pulled up by the gates of Acrewood. 'Thank you so much Rover! I do hope we meet again!' 'I am sure we will Rayni! Good luck in your new town.' Rover said farewell and Rayni made her way into her new village.
She walked around wandering where to go first, she could smell a hint of coffee in the fresh crisp air. She followed the scent and came across a beautiful museum, the coffee shop must be in here she thought. Finding a cosy little cafe in the town was just what Rayni needed, she also met a friendly bear who lent her some bells for a coffee.
She spent a long time in the warm cosy cafe, eager to hear tales of Acrewood from Pudgy the bear and Brewster, the pigeon who owned the coffee shop. They told her that Pooh and his friends had left many many years ago in search of new adventures with a boy named Christopher Robin. Since their departure many new inhabitants had arrived, she was assured that everyone who lived here was incredibly friendly.
Pudgy said goodbye to Rayni directing her to the Town Hall. Feeling much better after her coffee, with the sun rising behind her Rayni wandered to the Town Hall. Here she was greeted by a friendly bird Pelly, and the mayor Tortimer. They said that there were four houses available in Acrewood and that she could have any she liked! She already knew which she wanted and headed straight to the Canyon house to meet the Landlord Tom Nook.
Tom told Rayni he would help her get to know the town by offering her work in his shop. Rayni agreed to start tommorow, for now she happily gazed at her new house before heading inside for some much needed sleep!
