April Fool’s Day 2015

Today is April Fool’s Day, and it didn’t take long for my villagers to start playing pranks on me. Aurora told me Forest now has enough money to buy the town next door.

Aurora: I've got big news! I just heard that Forest has enough money to buy the town next door!Early April also brings pink cherry blossoms on many of the trees in town. Very pretty!

Pink trees.That even includes the town tree in the event plaza.

The pink town tree.I spotted Blanca nearby, and she (?) told me she was about to play some pranks on my villagers!

Blanca: I'll change myself to look just like someone in this town, and then I'll pay that person a surprise visit!I went to visit Kabuki, and there were two of him in his house! One was the real Kabuki, and the other was Blanca in disguise.

Kabuki: Maybe if you would stop being such a jerky faker, we could both just move on!They will each make a statement that you can use to determine who is who. For example, they might say their favorite quote, birthday, or their talent. If you don’t know the answer, you can tell them you don’t know, and then ask again for a different set of statements. I got the question right, so Blanca was revealed.

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's a bummer! You figured out it was me!Kabuki thanked me for knowing him well enough to know he was the real Kabuki, and he gave me his picture as my reward.

Kabuki: Here's a token of my appreciation, a picture of me, yarnball!I took the picture home and read his favorite quote, “If you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.”

If you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.I repeated the process for each villager. Sprinkle told the truth when she said this town can’t handle more than one of her!

Sprinkle: You need to STOP pretending you're me. This town can't handle more than one Sprinkle!Many of the pictures I received were duplicates, so I took them up to my trophy room in the museum. But I was unable to put any of them down in this room! Apparently, there must be a limit of how many items can go in a room.

You can't put out any more furniture here!I put them in a different museum exhibit for the time being.

When I visited Drago, he and his clone were reciting his favorite quote. The real one states his correct quote, which fit the situation perfectly: “There is no room for two dragons in one pond.”

Drago: There is no room for two dragons in one pond.I got my first eight villagers correct, and there was only one to go: Dizzy. The problem is that since Dizzy is fairly new, I didn’t know his birthday or quote, and I didn’t have any of the other clues either. I kept skipping the statements until they got to the favorite quotes. One of them said “All that glitters is not gold.” That did not strike me as something that Dizzy would say. So I handed him the washcloth to wipe off his face…and I was right! That was the fake one! I ended up a perfect nine-for-nine!

Blanca: I'm the fake one! That's no fun! You saw right through my disguise each and every time!Dizzy gave me his picture and told me he’ll visit me in my dreams. Uhh, that’s not necessary…

Dizzy: A huh huh huh! It's a photo of me! Put it under your pillow, and maybe I'll come visit you in your dreams!Dizzy’s real favorite quote is “Keep it mellow.”

Keep it mellow.After I was done, I found Blanca outside once again. She warned me to be ready for her again next year.

Blanca: How did you manage to do that?! I worked so hard to fool everyone, and you saw right through me!I should be getting Blanca’s picture in the mail tomorrow. Last year, I didn’t get them all correct, so this will be my first time receiving it. See you then!

Oh, and just to add: David from DC was my most recent dream visitor.
