Soon after starting up New Leaf today, I got some good news. Gabi is moving out on June 1st!
It’s interesting that she’s announced her move before I even got a replacement for Harry.
Anyway, I’m not a good artist at all…but I decided to draw a simple picture for my face-cutout standee. Look, I’m STEVE HOLT!
And then I spotted a fenced-off area. Benedict the rooster will be moving in tomorrow. Although, he’s going to be living right next door to Yuka. Good luck to him.
I found the money rock and got eight hits in…but I didn’t get the usual 16,100 bells. I got 32,000 bells! Wow! I didn’t understand why I was so lucky, until I noticed Katrina’s tent and went inside. She said the key to unlocking good fortune was…
Socks. I was already wearing socks, so that explains why I already had the good fortune.
Then I headed up to Main Street. I gave Shrunk three peaches and he taught me the “outrage” emotion! That is yet another rare emotion that I’ve been trying to get in City Folk for years.
And that’s no hogwash.
With the bells I got from the money rock earlier, I easily had enough money to finish off paying my current home loan. I’ll be getting an upstairs built tomorrow!
After I was done on Main Street, I returned to Forest. I went in Yuka’s house and I think I walked in on something…
An ugly convention perhaps. I didn’t hang around too long, and I soon made a trip to the island. I have now earned enough medals to buy a wet suit! Unfortunately, they didn’t have one on sale today. But I did a little fishing, and I caught a blue marlin. It’ll be going in the museum.
One of the fish I caught was a sea bass. I didn’t want to waste a slot in the basket on a sea bass, so I sold it to Leila for 10 bells.
I made a stop at Re-Tail to sell some of my catches, and another stop at the museum to donate the blue marlin. And then I ended my day in Forest. I’ll be back tomorrow with another update, so I hope to see you then!
Happy Memorial Day for those of you in the U.S.!
Unfortunately, you can’t play the music this way though. Anyway, I found three fossils for the day (and the daily money rock) and then made my way to Main Street. I bought my two fortune cookies, although I forgot to eat them. I had to go back down to the dock to recover my island goodies from the basket, and that’s when I realized I had cookies in my pockets. Not for long!
That fortune turned out to be good for a big bro’s mustache when I returned to T&T Mart.
The other fortune was good for a block floor, which I immediately put in my house. It looks so much better than the ramshackle floor.
Unfortunately, it was too late in the day to get another emotion from Shrunk. So I just did some fishing and then wrapped up my night in Forest.
I hope all these people weren’t expecting a whole lot, because my town still doesn’t have a lot going on just yet! But I did finally pick up the two pitfall seeds I had left on the ground outside my house though. Then I updated my dream, and once again, I got 5,000 bells for doing it!
Agreement was also a rare Frillard emotion in City Folk. In fact, I’ve been trying to get it for years! 
After a quick stop at the Able Sisters, I headed back to town. It was only a little after 4:00 p.m., but Fuchsia commented about it being dark outside. It was sunny and bright out, so I don’t know what she’s thinking.
After we talked, I saw her water some flowers! That’s pretty cool!
Aurora asked me to catch an orchid mantis for her. I actually hadn’t even caught one for the museum yet, so that meant I had to catch two of them. I remembered from City Folk that they hang out on white flowers, so I kept returning to the only white flower I saw. It actually didn’t take me too long to catch the two bugs. I gave one of them to Aurora, and she thanked me by giving me a common bed.
I took a break from playing at the time, but I returned after 8:00. Saturday is traditional K.K. night. Instead of being a DJ in the club, K.K. whips out his old acoustic guitar and sings one of his songs like he has done in previous games. I didn’t get a choice of songs this time, he just performed K.K. Flamenco for me. Shrunk was dancing in the background.

When he was done, he gave me a copy of the song to play at home. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have a stereo to play it on just yet. I’ll have to keep an eye open for one.
