Whitney’s Birthday

Yesterday, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail. It was about the shooting star I wished on last week. He “granted my wish” by sending me a dracaena. I’m not sure that’s quite what I wished for, but a free gift is a free gift.

Pippy was talking about the Bug-Off that’s coming up on Sunday. She told me she has a bite-proof dress that (somehow?) keeps the bugs from biting her.

Pippy: I got this cute bite-proof dress to keep the bugs from taking revenge on me.
Tell me your secret. Mosquitos keep biting me!

Maple was finally over her cold that she’s had for the past couple weeks. She thanked me for the medicine by giving me a watermelon table.

Maple: If it weren't you for, I'd still be curled up in bed, feeling miserable!
I’m glad you’re not feeling melon-choly now!

When I visited Whitney, I found a pack of wolves inside her house. 😉 It was her birthday, and she was celebrating with Chief.

Whitney: Well, well, look who it is. Welcome to Whitney's Birthday Bash, fribbit!

For a gift, I gave her the Nintendo bench that I bought from Pippy on the last Flea Market day.

Whitney: Oh, look at this! It's just what I've always wanted! A Nintendo bench.

I played again tonight, and Derwin told me one of his darkest secrets: He likes clothes with fringes! 😆

Derwin: It's one of my darkest secrets, but...I'm actually into clothes with fringes.

Whitney wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a bell cricket first, and I actually agreed to the battle. Whitney assured me that she wouldn’t lose to a loser like me. 🙄

Whitney: Tee hee! I'll never lose to a loser like you!

So I went around looking for crickets, and there were plenty of them. Unfortunately, the vast majority were regular crickets, not bell crickets! After catching several of the wrong ones, I had to hunt by sound and listen for the different call of the bell crickets. It took me seven and a half minutes, but I finally caught one!

I caught a bell cricket! He's the littlest musician!

By that point, I was afraid Whitney would’ve already caught one. (Or at least claimed to.) But fortunately, she didn’t. I gave her the bug, and she handed over a parlor wall as my prize for winning. But she wasn’t happy about losing to me. Too bad, wolf girl.

Whitney: I lost to you?! Those opposable thumbs you have really help, huh?
Excuses, excuses.

After selling the remaining crickets and mosquitos in my pockets, I went to town hall. There, I found a cabana lamp in the recycle bin.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry next week. 🙂

Whitney’s Tune

Yesterday, Angus told me that he thinks of all the people in town, Whitney and Marina are the closest friends. He then added that he never wants to fight with me. (Frankly, I think that’s a bunch of bull.) 🐂

Angus: Even though you bug me sometimes, I don't ever want to fight with you.
Your eyes seem to say you want to fight me right now. 😛

I noticed that my savings account balance reached 21 million bells, thanks to my monthly bank interest (plus one bell I deposited to make it a round number).

Phyllis: Your balance is 50 billion bells. Just kidding! It's actually 21,000,000.

Today was La-Di-Day, and Chief was the first villager to sing for me. However, I wasn’t impressed with his song.

Chief: Make sure you hear my song. It's a manly country ballad, on a pig!

Angus told me that his best song is a ballad, and he said that “hipster kids” won’t get it. 😛

Angus: My best song is a ballad. I don't think the hipster kids will get it.

But even though I spoke with him a couple times, he didn’t actually sing it for me. Oh well, you had your chance, Angus!

After I came out of Angus’s house, I heard a shooting star! I quickly wished on it. Check back next week to see what Wishy sends me!

Jeff wishes on a shooting star in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW) for Nintendo DS.

Anyway, there was only one other villager that sang a La-Di-Day song for me: Whitney.

Whitney: You're about to hear a singing sensation live! Whitney, fribbit!

I liked her song; it sounded unique, with several pauses. So I hired Whitney, and her song is now the official town tune of Forest. I checked the notes over at town hall, so you all can recreate it (and use it) if you’d like.

The notes of Whitney's song, which became the new town tune of Forest on September 12, 2026.

Maple has still been sick with that cold from last week, so I gave her more medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon, Maple!

Down at the Roost, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Condor” for me. That’s one of my favorites! It’s the o-o-o-o-o song (iykyk).

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

Better Call Sell

It was raining in town yesterday, and Chief was being a bit poetic about the wet stuff.

Chief: Rain tonight... Rain rain rain. My soul! It cries the tears of a million storms!

Of course he got mad at me for “not letting him express any emotion,” which I didn’t do at all. But that’s Chief for you. (And Wild World crankies in general.)

Meanwhile, Derwin was reminiscing about the town he grew up in. He said it had a train stop, and there was a monkey who worked at the train station. He’s clearly referring to Porter, in a nice throwback to the GameCube game. 🐒

Derwin: And there was the coolest monkey who worked at the station, derrrr!

A new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board gave a recipe for homemade water! 😆

-Talking to Myself- I filled an empty water bottle with ordinary tap water and... PRESTO! Homemade water!

I played again tonight, and it was still raining! ⛈️

It was Flea Market day, but I wasn’t planning on buying anything. But when I saw Pippy’s Nintendo bench, I was curious to see how much it would cost. It’s already a very cheap item to begin with, and it’s one that I’ll often buy to give as a gift. As it turns out, Pippy was selling it for just 30 bells!

Pippy: I call sell you my Nintendo bench for only 30 bells!
Typo alert! Better call sell. 😉

So of course I bought it, and I’ll probably regift it once again at some point.

Maple has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon, Maple!

Maple: I feel better! I... I can feel my toes again! Thank you SO much!

Down at the Roost, Mr. K.K. Slider performed “Mr. K.K.” for me. Is it an autobiographical song? If only I could understand the lyrics…

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