Three Astronauts

I visited Dotty today, and she has all her furniture unpacked now. But…why does she have three astronauts in here with her? I could understand having one space suit if you’re a big space fan, but why three of them, all in a row? I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I guess three is crater greater than one.

Tom Nook: Yes, a Japanese drum. It costs 1,040 bells.When I visited Poncho, he told me about a dream he had. He said that a fish came out of the water and started tap dancing on its flippers! Weird guy.

Poncho: I had a dream that a fish came out of the water and started tap dancing on its flippers!I took a bus to the city, and I saw Phineas there. I asked him for a bunny balloon, and he obliged.

Phineas: Keep a tight grip on that balloon! Rabbits have a way of getting away from you, you know!He gave me a green one. I held it, and then stood next to another bunny, Gabi.

I think the balloon has a higher IQ.

Back in Forest, Tank was standing next to my house. He asked for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “tank you.”

Tank: Tank you... Tank you... FRESH! It's like breathing a glacier, tank you!Savannah was locked out of her house, so of course I had to find her key for her. After fishing it out of the river, I gave her the key and she rewarded me with a blue cabinet.

Savannah: This is my key!

Dotty Hops to Town

Last night, I spotted a new house in town. I found Dotty the rabbit inside, trying to hypnotize me with her big red evil eyes.

Dotty: Oh! Hiya! I'm Dotty!Over by the museum, Benedict asked me if I had any spare change honeybees on me. Uh no, I’m all out.

Benedict: So, boss, if you happen to have a spare honeybee, would you mind giving it to me?
They’re not out this late, anyway.

Tonight, I found Kitty up by the fountain and bus stop. She told me she came to check the bus schedule. But this bus doesn’t run on a schedule, it comes anytime you need it.

Kitty: That's why I'm here to check the bus times.
Did you forget this is a video game?

I shot down a balloon present, and it contained a fire flower. Since I couldn’t use it to power-up, I just sold it at Nook’s.

Wendell: ...So glad I found someone good to take my mystery circle B!

Tricked Into Playing

Last night, I received Coco’s goodbye letter in the mail. No more Coco? I hate when the last piece of chocolate is gone. 😛

Dear Jeff, By the time you read this, I probably will have already left Forest... Thanks for everything. I will never forget the good times I had here. -Take care, CocoFreckles the duck was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

Freckles flips as she takes her medicine in ACCF.Not much else was going on, so I ended my game for the night and decided I would play again today. When I did, Benedict told me he wanted a low-maintenance pet. A pill bug, to be specific.

Benedict: That's why I'm thinking that a pill bug would be the perfect pet for me!I stopped by Nook ‘n’ Go to buy some more medicine for Freckles, because I know one dose never does the trick.

Freckles appears to hover upside-down in the air as she takes her medicine.I spoke with Kitty, and she told me she was just one person away from starting a fabulous event. She said I would fit the part perfectly. Thinking this was just some random conversation, I agreed. Then, we suddenly appeared at town hall with Savannah and Opal. She tricked me into playing hide-and-seek!

Kitty: The time limit is 15 minutes! To win, you have to find all 3 of us in that time.I had 15 minutes to find all three of them, and it didn’t take me long to get started. I quickly found Savannah hiding behind Scott’s house.

Savannah peeks out from behind Scott's house.Right down at the end of the beach, I also spotted Kitty. She was trying to hide behind a palm tree.

It took me less than three minutes to find all three of them, and that included the time I spent taking and saving the pictures. 😛 Kitty rewarded me with a tall poltergoid.

After the game, I banged a rock by the river and a pill bug popped out. I took it over to Benedict, and he gave me a citrus wall.

Chow asked me for a barbel steed, so I went fishing in the river. The very first fish I caught was a barbel steed! When I handed it to Chow, he rewarded me with an exotic wall.

Chow: Once again, we see there's nothing that I can't get my force, trickery, or... asking somebody. Huh.See you all next time!
