Kiki asked me to catch her a puffer fish tonight. I’m not sure what she needed it for, but she made it sound urgent!
I went out to look for one, and fortunately, I caught it on my first try! I took it back to her, and she rewarded me with an ornate wall. Well at least her room is one step closer to looking like the professional aquarium she sees it as.
Big Top was the next villager I spoke with, and he also asked me for a fish. But he wanted a horse mackerel. After a few tries (of catching just puffer fish and jellyfish), I temporarily put the search on hold until I made my rounds and spoke to everyone.
Crazy Redd was in town tonight, and he had a calm painting for sale. But since I already have one in the museum, I had no need to buy it.
When I visited Rod, he asked me what I thought he would be when he grew up. Since he was wearing a wrestler shirt, I chose the “sumo wrestler” option (even though sumo wrestlers don’t usually wear shirts). 😛 Rod was quite happy with that answer.
On the bulletin board, the new message of the week asked an interesting question. If clouds have silver linings, why don’t they sink? 😛
Rhonda was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. She promptly stood on her horn did a back flip.
I eventually resumed my search for Big Top’s horse mackerel. But I got distracted by a large gold beetle on a tree, so I got my net out. I caught my first rainbow stag!
A few minutes later, I finally caught the horse mackerel. After stopping at the museum (to donate the rainbow stag), I took the fish over to Big Top. He gave me 510 bells for my trouble.
I then made a 25,000 mortgage payment at town hall before ending my game for the night.
I caught a fish from the ocean, and I was a bit surprised to find that it was a jellyfish! Even though I knew from other Animal Crossing games that jellyfish show up in the second half of August, I had forgotten about them. Until I caught this little guy, of course.
If you need to catch a jellyfish in any of the first three Animal Crossing games, be sure to do it before the end of the month. (Jellyfish can’t be caught in New Leaf).
The third fireworks festival of the year was going on tonight, and Tortimer gave me a roman candle. Meanwhile, Hopper seemed a bit scared by the fireworks.
There was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board, and it was about salsa, of all things.
Puddles was packed up and ready to move out of town. But despite talking to her many times, I was having trouble getting a response from her that sounded like she would stay. But I did get her to say this…
I wasn’t sure that would save her…until I looked at my previous pictures I’ve saved. Apparently she’s said the same thing twice before, so I think she’s probably safe now.
Over by town hall, Baabara showed me another strange letter she received. I want to meet whoever is trolling Baabara with these letters. 😀
I found today’s money rock, caught some 
She believes that her room finally looks like a professional aquarium.
So I took a step back to look at her huge collection of fish…
Um, Kiki? You have one eel.
I wasn’t sure if Rod would like it, but I went over to his house and gave it a shot.
Baabara was also there to help Rod celebrate. I bet Rod’s birthday wish is that Baabara would just leave. 😛
A new message of the week was posted on the bulletin board, and it’s an odd one.
I went over to town hall and paid off the remaining 20,000 bells on my mortgage.
Tom Nook confirmed that he will expand my house tomorrow morning. I chose sky blue as my roof color this time.
