Rowan’s Birthday

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 7th time.

Shooting down a UFO in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

I gathered up the five missing UFO parts and returned them to Gulliver. In return, he gave me some chocolates. Mmm!

A box of chocolates in ACWW.
Too bad I can’t actually eat them.

At the shop, Tom Nook was talking about the time he gave up on his big-city dreams and returned to Forest. He mentioned a friend that he grew up with, and he said that she turned her back on him.

Tom Nook: She turned her back on me. From that day on, we were never the same again, hm?
You weren’t Able to move past that?

Today was Rowan’s birthday, so I bought him a present and headed over to his house. He and fellow tiger Rolf didn’t exactly seem thrilled to see me.

Rowan: You sure took your sweet time, sunshine!
Or maybe I’m the birthday feast.

But I gave him a robo-dresser, and he seemed to enjoy it; he called it a “killer gift.” He even gave me something in return, a violin.

Meanwhile, Bunnie had more important things on her mind. Like wondering if she’s supposed to say “ooh” or “ahh” when she sees fireworks. 😛

Bunnie: I always thought it was OOOOoooh, but maybe it's AHHHHHHH! Oh, hop to it!

See you all next time!

The fireworks festival was held tonight, and it was nice to see the colorful explosions in the sky.

Fireworks in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

I also made sure to get a couple of Roman candles and a sparkler from Tortimer.

The villagers that were outdoors were all talking about the fireworks, as you’d expect. Goldie even said the fireworks make her worries go away.

Goldie: Watching fireworks makes all my cares and worries go away, woof.

However, Rolf scolded me for not being “in the mood” for fireworks. I don’t know how he came to that conclusion, but I’m sooo ready to let this dude move out.

Rolf: What's yer problem, kid?! Get into the mood!

Despite the fireworks, the thing I was really looking forward to was the chance to take my country guitar over to K.K. Slider. When I went down to the Roost, K.K. didn’t initially notice my guitar. He just played a song for me, as usual. He performed K.K. Etude, which is the same song he played in New Horizons tonight!

After the show, he still didn’t say anything about the guitar…until I spoke to him again.

K.K.: Hey. That axe of yours is just about the wildest thing I've ever seen.

He offered to trade his picture for my guitar, and of course I said yes!

K.K.: I'm tapped for bells, but if you're cool, I'll trade you for my picture. You cool?

I took the picture home and put it in my house. His quote on the back is “My music wants to be free, man.”

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. See you next time! 🙂

Golden Axe

I was very surprised (and happy) to see Pascal in town today! I ran back home to get my scallop and returned to him. He said it was the same scallop that he dropped in the surf. Apparently he wrote his name on it, but in ink that only he can read. Hmm, sounds a bit suspicious. 😉

Pascal: Oh, man. I forgot. I wrote it in ink that only I can see...man.

He wanted to thank me, so he asked if I dropped a golden axe or silver axe. I said I dropped a golden axe, and he called me a liar! 😮

Pascal: Ha! But I can see... you're a liar!

Now I see where Serena’s annoying dialogue in City Folk came from. But fortunately, Pascal still gave me what I’ve been waiting for: A golden axe! Yes! Mission accomplished! I now have all six golden tools in the game!

I got the golden axe! This won't ever break!

Even though I’ve now completed this goal of mine, I still plan on playing multiple times each week. There are still other prizes from the trading sequence that I want to earn, after all!

My good day got better when I saw two shark fins in the ocean, and I fished out an ocean sunfish and a regular shark. Nice!

When I spoke with Peanut, she said it was nice to live surrounded by fish. And then she turned into The Little Mermaid.

Peanut: Maybe we should live UNDER the sea! Under the sea... Yeah, just you and me...

Over by the museum, Olivia was trying to sell me a fern shirt. She asked how much I would pay for it, and I moved the slider to indicate I wouldn’t pay much. So she called me a wuss and charged me 430 bells for it.

Olivia: Wow, you're still such a big wuss, huh.
There it is! I knew I didn’t like you.
Stupid me for giving you a chance.

Rowan was packed up and ready to move away, but I told him to reconsider. Eventually, he confessed that he lost his passport, so he couldn’t move out.

I’ll be back with another entry on Saturday. Hope to see you then! 🙂
