Hope for Pie

When I started up the game tonight, I received Frobert’s goodbye letter. So long, froggy.

Frobert's goodbye letter in Animal Crossing: City Folk on Wii.Over by town hall, Mallary was standing with her bill against the wall. As if Mother Duck put her in time out or something. Crazy duck.

Mallary standing in a corner outside of town hall.By my bridge, I had a chat with Twiggy. She said she wanted to have a Jeff party. I’m not exactly sure what a Jeff party is, but I said “totally!” She got excited and said she would let me know when she has a free day. She got her expressions a bit mixed up, though. Hope for pie?

Twiggy: YAAAAAAAY, cheepers! You promise? You for reals promise?! Cross your heart and hope for pie?Bunnie was still sick tonight, so I gave her another dose of medicine. She’s not my favorite villager, but I hop she feels better soon.

Bunnie flips as she takes some medicine.And I finished up my night at the Roost, where K.K. Slider performed K.K. Safari for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Safari.

Frobert Says Farewell

Today is Nature Day, otherwise known as Earth Day. Mayor Tortimer can be found outside of town hall, handing out cool globes.

Tortimer: On Nature Day, we surround ourselves with sky, sea, and land, and give thanks to the earth.I’ve received the cool globe numerous times already, but here’s a look at it in case you haven’t seen it before. This thing is bigger than me!

The cool globe in Animal Crossing: City Folk.Angus asked me to make a delivery to Broccolo. He was acting as if I had promised to help him out anytime he wanted (I didn’t). He was even using sarcastic quotation marks! He’d better start being nice to me or else he’s going to be surprised when he finds out what’s for dinner.

Angus: No? Weird. Well, I need you to keep your promise, even if you don't remember. Hop to it, toasty!I saw a pink balloon present floating by…and I hid inside of it! Well, behind it.

A pink balloon present. I was hiding my character behind it.I shot it down and found that it contained a flagpole. That’s funny, the present didn’t look nearly large enough to have a flagpole inside…

When I went into Frobert’s house, I found that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. That’s disappointing, because I actually enjoyed his frogginess.

Frobert: So, I'm gonna be packing up and moving. It'd be a waste to keep biceps like these in one town.Bunnie was all cooped up in her house with a cold. I reluctantly bought some medicine for her.

Bunnie flips as she takes some medicine.I eventually found Broccolo and gave him the present from Angus–it was a tulip shirt. When I returned to Angus to tell him the delivery was complete, he thanked me and rewarded me with a lovely wall. He also offered me a root canal?!

Angus: You need anything, come to me, hear? Doesn't matter what! Help moving? Root canal? I'm your guy!Oh, no. The only way you’re going in my mouth is if you’re on a bun.

A Metroid from Gulliver

It was a nice, sunny day in Forest, and Frobert the frog was loving the great weather.

Frobert: Yo! Big bro! Dude, it's so nice out! I gotta go set some rays, toasty!But Friga wasn’t in such a good mood. She was complaining about not having friends, saying she watches rugby and eats tempura all by herself.

Friga: You know, I just watch rugby and eat tempura all by myself...Down on the beach, I found a crash-landed UFO and an unconscious Gulliver. It’s kind of funny that the UFO can endure long flights between planets, yet can’t handle getting hit by a pebble.

Gulliver the astronaut and his crash-landed UFO.I had to talk to Gulliver over and over, but I was eventually able to wake him up.

Gulliver: Boogity!I handed him his spaceship part; that will allow him to repair his ship and return home. Of course, his ship won’t disappear until tomorrow whether you give him his part or not.

Gulliver: You've found it! My...my interstellar astro-thingy! My missing spaceship part! Well done!In return, he gave me a Metroid. As you can see, it’s not my first one.

Three Metroids in my creepy furniture room.I had to shoot down 19 UFOs before I got my very first Metroid back in 2012. But since then, Gulliver has started to give me a Metroid nearly every time I shoot down his UFO! I guess he’s making up for all the trouble he caused me in the beginning.
