Letting Go After 9 Years

In early April, cherry blossom petals fall from the sky, and many trees have pink leaves. That even applies to the town tree. It’s probably the prettiest time of year in the game.

Pink leaves on trees and cherry blossom petals falling from the sky.

Last Sunday, Boots told me that Big Top fell asleep standing up…and he was talking in his sleep!

Boots: Ha ha! Heya, big guy! Take a look! He fell asleep standing up, and he's talking in his sleep!

Big Top was speaking as if Boots just told him a secret for incredible wealth.

Big Top: I get it, Boots! Your secret for incredible wealth is so simple!

Of course, this was news to Boots, and he responded with his classic jaw drop.

Boots: What?! What are you talking about?!

Big Top then woke up, and he was disappointed that he couldn’t remember what the secret to incredible wealth was. 😛

Today, Big Top told me that he was planning on moving out of town on April 20th.

Big Top: I know it's sudden, but I'm leaving on the 20th of this month!

This may surprise some of you, but I’m actually letting him leave. I like Big Top a lot, of course…but this town has become so stagnant. I keep most villagers around for years, and I’ve been meaning to shake things up for a while. Big Top has been here since Day 7 of this town’s existence. That’s nearly nine years!

It may feel weird without my next-door neighbor (and good buddy) around, but I do have Big Top in my City Folk town. So I’ll still see him in that game.

While standing in front of Aurora’s house, Molly asked me to deliver something…to Aurora. 😛

Molly: Actually, I just got a delivery that was addressed to Aurora!

The item was a dapper shirt, and Aurora said she got it for me. It’s not the best reward, but then again, walking two feet wasn’t exactly a whole lot of work either.

Blaire the squirrel was camping at the campsite today. I wasn’t interested, and my town is still full anyway. But by next week, I’ll be able to check for campers once again.

Blaire, at the campsite: Hey there, I'm Blaire. I'm just in Forest camping for a little while.

Cube was actually in town tonight (instead of inside the museum), and he asked me for a butterfly. I grabbed an emperor butterfly from my dock box, and handed it over.

Cube: This is amazing! I don't even know how to express my thanks for this emperor butterfly!
You could give me your photo…

He rewarded me with an ornate wall. I’ll get his picture one of these days weeks months years! 😉

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors included Chris from Megaton and Tristan from Tristan6. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a good weekend, and Happy Easter! 🐰 If you’ll be participating in Bunny Day on Sunday, feel free to check out my Bunny Day guide.

  1. When a villagers been around this long, it’ll seem odd when he leaves, but it’s your decision, hopefully his replacement is good

    1. I’ve had my new leaf town since 31st of July 2014 for my birthday and now I’m turning 18 this year. I’ve had lobo and Celia in my town since I started so it would be very weird if they moved. Feels like I grew up with him, I’m too emotionally invested in them hahah
