New Year’s Eve

I saw Del today and he’s all healed up now. He thanked me for the medicine and gave me a regal vanity. Then he told me to touch him. Uhh, no thanks.

Del: But now I'm fit as a fiddle, thanks to you! Oh, and touch my skin! It's all silky from sweating!It was New Year’s Eve, so I changed into my tuxedo and started stocking up on party poppers.

Tortimer: It's a party popper. 'Cause it's not a party without party poppers!I opened my gate at 10:30 and Yann came over to visit. The animals seemed excited for New Year’s.

Bob: There's less than an hour left before we all scream, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"Yann and I were coming up with names for fish-flavored cereal.

Jeff: Dace Krispies. Yann: Lucky Char.We couldn’t help but notice how often the music changes in the final hour of the year. Some of these songs only play for a few minutes each year.

Yann: Sounds soothing.With less than a minute to go, Tortimer could barely handle the excitement.

Tortimer: We're at the one-minute mark! Whooo, now this is excitement!Then midnight struck! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Despite what it may look like in the picture, I wasn’t half asleep. Or drunk. 😛

The clock strikes midnight and "HAPPY NEW YEAR" scrolls across the screen.The fireworks started, and Tortimer seemed to be enjoying them.

Tortimer: Whirrrr! Bang! Bam! BOOM! That's the sound of the new year! Shoot those fireworks high, boys!Egbert was also excited about it being 2013.

Egbert: Hip hip HOOOOOOORAY! Hip hip HOOOOOOORAY! It's finally 2013!Del seemed to be drunk (or maybe he’s mean sober too). He said he was looking forward to a year of me not bothering him much. HUH? Next time you’re sick, get your own medicine, punk!

Del: Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of you not bugging me too much, landlubber!Happy New Year, everyone! Make 2013 a great year!
