I checked my mail and found a goodbye letter from Mint.I went around town pulling weeds and digging up fossils until I stumbled into my newest neighbor, Valise, a kangaroo.  I don’t recall ever seeing Valise before.

I went by the police station and Copper told me that Wendell would be in town on Monday. When I got near the post office, I saw a dig spot, so I got out my shovel. But it wasn’t a gyroid or a fossil or even a pitfall. It was a NES game, Excitebike! Of course I already have Excitebike in my basement, but it’s always a nice little surprise when you find a NES game.

K.K. was in town, so I watched him perform a song. I requested K.K. Condor.

I then went into my house and decided to play a quick game of Excitebike before I ended my day in Forest.

I started up the game and saw that the fishing tournament was in progress. However, it only had a few minutes left, so I didn’t participate.

Katrina’s tent was there, so I stopped in and got my fortune told. She told me that money would be coming my way.

I circled around town, and when I got to Static’s acre, Static appeared to fall from the sky! You can’t really tell by the picture so much, but I will likely include a video of it in a future “GameCube Moments” video on Youtube.

I found the day’s money rock, but I messed up and only got five money bags from it. However, Katrina’s spell increased the value of them. Two of them were 10,000 bell bags and the other three were 1,000 bell bags. So instead of 2,300 bells, it was 23,000 bells. That 50 bells for the fortune really paid off.

Ursala then asked me if I ever notice things like who’s dating who and who’s mad at who. I told her not really, and she called me a liar. What nerve.

So I made a nice little spot for her.

On my way back home, I checked the bulletin board to see who won the fishing tournament. It was Mint, who won with a 17-inch fish.

I started up the game and found a goodbye letter in my mailbox; it was from Carmen.

That means I had a new villager in town…turns out it’s Mint the squirrel. Mint is also currently in my ACCF town.

While talking to Ursala, I accidentally asked for a job. She asked me to pick up her comic book from Mint’s house.

So I went to see Mint, but she had loaned the comic book to Belle.

So I went over to Belle’s house. But she said Genji took it from her.

So I went over to Genji’s. Fortunately, he still had the comic book and he gave it back to me.

Ursala was happy to have it back, and she rewarded me with…a wavy pink shirt. Ugh.

I didn’t want to wear that, and I didn’t want to keep wearing my ruined clothes from Halloween, so I checked the lost and found at the police station. They had a snappy print shirt, so I took that and put it on before I headed for home.
