Chip was over at town hall today to judge the fishing tournament. I skipped the full rules, but simply put, the largest horse mackerel wins.
So I grabbed my fishing rod and headed for the ocean. After I caught a couple of horse mackerels, I took them back to Chip. The first one wasn’t big enough, but the second one was 17.1 inches and took over the top spot.
I lacked the motivation to catch more fish and improve my score. So I just waited it out. My laziness paid off, because when I returned later, my fish remained the #1 catch and I won the tournament!
Chip told me my prize would be in the mail.
When I walked over by my house, Bunnie was standing there in front. She gave me a bath mat for free, because she was embarrassed that it was featured in Nerds and Wyverns Weekly.
I saw a human wearing a bunny hood, and I thought Francine (aka Frankengaga) had returned to Forest. But it wasn’t her. Instead, it was her partner in crime, Chrissy. She just moved into town. Oh joy.
Fang asked me to make a delivery to Lily, so I took her the item. It turned out to be a polar fleece, which Lily didn’t seem to care for.
I noticed the northern lights (aurora borealis) up in the sky, so I stopped for a moment to enjoy them.
Soon after, I returned to Fang to tell him I made the delivery. He thanked me for helping a “simple country animal” and he gave me a cityscape wall to reward me.
When I met up with Genji outside, he asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Friga, and Mallary.
It only took me a few seconds to find Friga, since she was hiding behind a nearby tree.
A couple minutes later, I found Mallary. But I was having trouble finding Genji. I made a full circle around town, and shortly after I began my second trip, time expired. About 20 seconds later, I found him. So close…
To get my revenge, I waited until he was involved in a conversation with someone else and then I fired off a party popper above him to scare him to death. He was not happy.
Actually, he was just having an argument with Friga for some reason.
When I returned to Mallary and told her Bunnie didn’t like the gift, she was peeved. I think we have ourselves a Forest feud.
To get away from all the negative vibes around town, I took a bus trip out to the city–where it was snowing once again. I met up with my old friend (and former neighbor) Rolf the white tiger. He was talking about Phineas, the sea lion who gives out balloons and other prizes.
Rolf wondered if Phineas could be K.K. Slider in disguise. He thought giving out balloons could be K.K.’s day job. I don’t think so, Rolf. But it’s good seeing you again.
Outside of Friga’s house, I saw a new blue rose! They sure don’t pop up very often!
Despite the chill in the air, it was a nice sunny day. Perfect for running around town with my balloon!
But as Katrina might say, running around too much may lead to…accidents.
Once I completed my walk around town, I took the bus to the city. It was snowing there, and I ran into my old BFF Bob! Naturally, he was talking about food.
Of course this was just a generic Bob (as opposed to the specific Bob that lived in Forest), so he didn’t remember me. But it was still nice to see him again. Who knows, maybe he’ll move back into Forest one of these 
I then rode the bus back to Forest (so that the snow in the city would water my flowers) and wrapped up my afternoon in City Folk. Have a good day, everyone!
