It was raining quite heavily in Forest tonight. Benedict, still wearing his waitress shirt, said the rain makes him feel like he’s in a movie. Hmm, would that be Chicken Little maybe? I don’t think an umbrella will save you if the sky is falling.

I was a bit tired of wearing my flame shirt. I’ve been wearing it since March, after all! So when I saw a No. 1 shirt on sale in Able Sisters tonight, I decided to buy it and put it on.

I found a new house in the northeast part of town, so I went inside to check out who was inside. My new neighbor is Tank the rhino.

Tank seems pretty cool, even if I don’t understand why he has a leaf on his head. But when he turned around, I noticed something: Tank and I are wearing the same clothes! We both have the No. 1 shirt on, although mine is a T-shirt and his is a tank top. That way, he’s able to show off his army arms.

My favorite villager Savannah was sick with a cold, so of course I went to the store and bought some medicine for her. She flipped as she took the medicine, as animals do, but her T-rex skull in the room made it look like something else:

I took the bus out to the city and checked out Crazy Redd’s items for the week. He was selling a super toilet for 3,960 bells. But despite my No. 1 shirt, I didn’t have to go. So I wasn’t interested, but Redd had an interesting choice of words for the toilet: He was astounded at how I can sniff out a bargain!

The fireworks festival takes place each Sunday night in August. That makes tonight the final one of the year, even though it’s the first (and only) one I attended this summer. Tortimer told me he hopes I’ll always remember this summer. I will, but not for the fireworks festival.

I then used a roman candle to give Tortimer a turtle wax treatment. That has become an annual tradition for me (since Megan and I did it to Tortimer years ago). Tortimer wasn’t fond of the treatment at first, but he quickly warmed up to the idea.

Many of the outdoor animals were discussing the fireworks, including Rod. But he seemed to be confusing fireworks with shooting stars. He wanted to wish on the last rocket for muscle hugeness (his words, not mine). Yikes.

On my walk around town, I stopped at several points to look up at the clear night sky and watch the fireworks explode.

The fireworks shows are fun, but they’re also a bit sad for me. They just remind me of the days of online play. Playing during the fireworks festivals with Wi-Fi friends provided some of my most memorable moments in ACCF. The happy tune that accompanies the fireworks rings a bit hollow for me now. But it’s still an enjoyable time.

I found something quite surprising while on my walk, though: A four-leaf clover! Maybe I’ll get lucky now?

I ran one errand for Savannah tonight; it’s too hard to turn down her requests. She asked me to make a delivery (a noble shirt) to Chow. He didn’t seem to care for it, but he put it on anyway. When I returned to Savannah, she rewarded me with a red tile carpet. How exciting.

One last note: As expected, I got Aurora’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

If you’d like to see a video of the fireworks festival that I recorded last year, here it is.

See you all next time!

Last night, Twiggy asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Aurora, and Gloria. Birds of a feather hide together.

I found Gloria hiding behind a tree near Alli’s house, and Aurora was behind a tree near the museum. And with two and a half minutes to go, I circled back around to my house and I thought I saw a tweety bird!

For winning the game, Twiggy gave me a tall puffoid.

Not much else was going on last night, so I played again tonight. I was a bit surprised to find Aurora was packed up and ready to move out of town! Why didn’t she mention this yesterday?

It’s a bit sad to see her go, but at least I still have her in my New Leaf town.

Savannah asked me to make a delivery to Benedict, so I hunted down the red rooster. Birds seem to be involved in everything lately! I laughed when I saw what the gift was: a waitress shirt! Benedict wasted no time in putting it on, either! I guess he can be the waitress at KFC, assuming he still works there. 😉

There was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest tonight, so I stopped at the bridge to watch them for a bit. I was able to catch this picture of two shooting stars on-screen at once.

Static was talking about the meteor shower, and he wondered how many of the shooting stars were actually evil alien invaders. He must watch too much TV. Don’t believe what you see on TV at 3:33 in the morning!

I made sure to catch several valuable bugs tonight, including this hercules beetle.

Reminders

Remember, there’s only one week left of August! Many of these valuable bugs will be gone once September arrives, so catch them while you can!

I’ll be back Sunday with another entry as I check out the fireworks festival. See you then!
