I found a goodbye letter from Zoe the anteater in my mailbox today.
In Nookington’s, I decided to buy the moody blue shirt that was on sale for just 123 bells. It made me feel a little awkward though, changing my clothes with four eyes watching me…
This was my first time playing since the snow melted last month, so it was good to see all of the green grass again. I was also pleased when I saw my newest neighbor, Bea. I like dog villagers a lot, and I rarely seem to get them. Welcome to Forest, Bea! Try not to bark at me too much.
Unfortunately, Belle asked me to help her with a maze in the back of her Nintendo Power magazine. These things can be long and boring, because you have to keep choosing “left” or “right” until she gets through the maze. It only took me five attempts this time, but the mazes are one of my least-favorite “conversations” in any Animal Crossing game.
When I spoke with Tom, he tried to sell me a pear. He started out by lying, telling me they don’t even grow in this town. Even though they’re not the native fruit, there are still several pear trees in town. He expected me to pay 1,380 bells for one, and naturally, I declined. Of course, he got angry and called me a cheap, no-fruit-buying bum.
Over by the wishing well, Baabara told me she’s been having fun all day. She expected that news to make me happy. As if she’s the queen of the universe or something.
I had a lot of weeds to pull after not playing for five weeks, and I dug up quite a few fossils as well. After mailing away my fossils, I got to see Pete take off to deliver the mail. Unlike the newer games, where Pete just walks to deliver the mail, he actually flies on GameCube.
After that, I circled back around to my house and ended my game for the day.
I’ll leave you with a picture of my Animal Crossing GameCube memory card 59.
