Close Encounters

Yuka has now left town completely. I got her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Dear Jeff, The day has come for me to leave Forest. Thank you for making life here SO wonderful. I'll always remember you! -From: YukaThen I went around town and watered my flowers. I had two new black roses today.

Everything indicated that today was a UFO day, so I got ready for it. The UFO indeed came at 6:02, and I heard it pass overhead…but I didn’t see it. But it makes a return trip in the opposite direction immediately afterwards, so I ran up and down my main north-south path to see which horizontal line it was coming on. I then saw it on the northernmost path, moving right to left.

Because of where the river is, my best move was to cross the river and catch it on the other side, near the museum. After crossing the bridge, I heard the UFO coming close…but Anabelle got in my way and blocked me (with the help of a tree)! As I started to panic, I frantically tried to run around her (and the tree) and just barely got to the UFO in time!

Hitting a UFO with a shot from my slingshot, as Anabelle looks on.Whew, that was a close one. Too close for comfort. Because you don’t have to just hit the UFO while it’s in town, you have to hit it before it gets too close to the edge of town. If you hit it too close, the spaceship part may fall outside of town and then you’re out of luck. But fortunately, I had enough space and I was able to recover the spaceship part. This was #21 for me.
