Saving A Million Bells

Late last night, I decided to take the train to another town. This was partially to sell all the perfect peaches I had accumulated lately, and also to test my connection. Fortunately, I was able to travel to Tiffiny’s town Auctus. I gave her a few of my perfect peaches, and she offered me a basket of perfect pears.

While I was there, I introduced myself to Flurry the hamster.

Flurry: Have we met before?I also had a drink from the fountain.

Taking a drink of water from the drinking fountain.I saw two stumps by the bridge, and Tiffiny told me the animals will sometimes sit on them.

Then today, I saw that there was a new SpotPass home in the Happy Homes Showcase. It belongs to Cesar from Tijuana.

Cesar: I'm Cesar from Tijuana. My home is over at North 9. Your friendly neighborhood...His main room was futuristic and it looked pretty nice.

I returned to town and Benedict was seeing double…and then quadruple!

Benedict: Yay! I didn't know you had a twin, J-bot! Wait. Are there four of you now?It turns out he was sick with a fever. I made a mental note to buy him some medicine, but first I went to Kidd’s house. He asked me to catch him a football fish!

Kidd: The football fish is so slippery! I can't catch one! Could you bring it to me?I haven’t even caught one of those for myself yet! But I continued my trek around town, stopping in the campsite to see today’s camper. It was Lobo the wolf.

Lobo: Sometimes it gets a little miserable sleeping in a tent... But that's all part of the experience! GAHAHA!Soon after that, I headed up to Main Street. Luna told me that Khori from K City was my most recent dream visitor, so hello to Khori if you’re reading this! In Nook Homes, Lyle told me that my house score was up to 137,467 HHA points. I’m getting close to my goal of 150,000.

Lyle: Evaluatin'. Tabulatin'. Name of the game. Just the interior. Bang! My crew says...137,467 points!Next door at the post office, I donated some bells and I reached one million bells in my bank account!

Your current balance is 1,000,000 bells.I bought Benedict’s medicine and delivered it to him.

I then saw Phineas walking around, so I went up to him and asked for a badge. He gave me the Avid Bell Saver badge, which clearly is a result of saving a million bells.

I got the Avid Bell Saver badge! I think I've got the hang of this whole saving thing!Before I finished up, I was determined to catch two football fish: one for Kidd and one for the museum. While I was on the beach, I found a lost item. But the football fish were my top priority, and eventually, I caught them both.

I caught a football fish! Thanks to my fishing tackle!I donated one and gave the other one to Kidd. He rewarded me with a pine chair. (I was hoping for his picture, naturally). Before long, I found out that the lost item belonged to Molly. She rewarded me with a blue flannel shirt…exactly like the one I was wearing.

Molly: Thank you so much! Please take my blue flannel shirt as a token of my appreciation.That’s all for tonight, but I’ll be back with more tomorrow! In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this slideshow of New Leaf pictures taken in the month of October:
