Lunar Leap Month 3rd

When I played on Wednesday, I found a goodbye letter from Puddles in the mail (unfortunately).

Guess what, Jeff! I realize this is a little cuckoo, but I've decided to move. Have I lost it? No!!! I've just got to try to get a fresh start. I don't even know where I'm going yet! See ya! -Puddles

On the bulletin board, I saw the notice that morning aerobics starts on July 25th, and it runs through the end of August. Moments later, Candi quizzed me on that exact fact. She asked which event starts on July 25th, so obviously I knew the answer. Candi teased a reward, but then laughingly told me there was no prize.

Candi: So, let's see what's behind curtain number one... Ah ha ha ha ha! There's no prize! Get serious!

A few minutes later, Belle asked me the same question! Since I wanted to see how she’d react (and since I knew there wasn’t a prize anyway), I chose to answer that the fireworks festival was the event that runs every day in summer. As you might expect, my stupidity angered her.

Belle: ...Hello!? Earth to Jeff! Get your head out of the clouds and think a little, cuddles!

Rocco asked if I’d rather play golf or watch golf, and I wasn’t really interested in either. But I told him I’d rather watch it, and he compared me to a lazy slug. Nice.

Rocco: You Seriously? You just like sitting on your behind like a lazy slug and watching?

Down on the beach, I found Gulliver passed out. I tried to release a cockroach onto him, but it flew away instead. After I woke up the sleeping gull, he gave me a Chinese lion.

When I met up with Baabara, she was talking about Wendell. She didn’t like the fact that he begs for food, and yet he’s picky about what he’ll eat.

Baabara: Just thinking about picky vagrants makes me so mad I want to scratch, daahling!

Sydney has a new neighbor, and I was happy to meet her: It’s Coco the coconut/gyroid rabbit!

Coco: Eeeeek!

Welcome to Forest, Coco! I hope you’ll stick around a while!

Puck complimented me on my nice clothes, and he said he was my number one fan. That was kinda funny, because I was wearing the No. 1 shirt.

Puck: If anyone gives you flack about your getup, lemme know. I'm your number one...um... fashion fan...

I returned to talk to Coco more, and she told me a friend gave her a bus stop that she can’t use. 🚌

Coco: A friend of mine gave me a bus stop the other day, but I can't really use it.

I thought she was going to give it to me for free, but she actually wanted 2,820 bells for it. I didn’t want it that bad, so I kept on walking.

I played again today, and Ursala told me about the lunar calendar. She said that today is “Leap Month 3rd.”

Ursala: Today's July 27th, but according to the lunar calendar, it's leap month 3rd.

I didn’t have an option to question that, but she assumed I had a problem with it and wanted to “start something.” 🙄

Ursala: What? What do you mean, that makes no sense?!
Ursala: Are you saying you've got a problem with the lunar calendar? Are you trying to start something!?
I never want to start anything with you. I just want to finish it…including this conversation. Bye.

Candi reminded me that if you borrow the Able Sisters’ sewing equipment (by linking a Game Boy Advance), you can design patterns for free.

Candi: Jeff! You didn't know? You don't have to pay for your design if you borrow their sewing equipment!

It’s been a while since I’ve designed patterns in this game, so I forgot what they charged for a pattern. So I headed over there and asked Mabel. She told me it costs 350 bells.

Mabel: Oh, you want to create your own design? Great! It'll cost 350 bells for materials, of course. That's OK, right?
