I Saved Del!

I got two letters in the mail today. One was the weekly report from the Happy Room Academy (HRA). They said my house scored 121,962 points. The other letter was from Kaitlin (Katie’s mom), thanking me for returning Katie to Hyrule.

Hello, Jeff, I really appreciate your efforts the other day, helping bring Katie back home. Please accept this small token of my sincere thanks! -From the Lost Girl's MomShe sent me a Papa bear, which I ended up selling. On my way to the bus stop, I ran into Bob. He played a town tune from his days when he lived in Pie Town.

Bob: It's my favorite song from when I used to live in Pie Town, master!I then took the bus to the city. I checked out this week’s new emotions: Joy, heartbreak, anger, and resignation. No Frillard emotes this time.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?I then went back to Forest to water my flowers. I didn’t find any new black roses today, unfortunately. But I did get some good news… I talked to Del, and he said I talked him out of moving!

Del: You've convinced me, dawg. I'll stay on as Forest's crankiest resident a while longer.As I made my way around town, I talked to several of my other neighbors, including Kid Cat.

Kid Cat: Got any grapes?!

Taking Katie Home

I continued to try talking to Del, hoping that he will change his mind about moving. Still no luck, though.

Del: I think I'm a "one big score" sorta guy, underwear...Katie was in my town, and her mother was in TZ’s town Hyrule. So TZ opened her gate so I could take Katie home.

Katie: WAAAAAAAAAH! Which way to Hyrule?I didn’t stay long in TZ’s town, but I did check out her obstacle course/maze. It was very, very pink, but had a similar layout to my own maze.

Lots of pink beds in TZ's obstacle course room.I returned home to Forest and enjoyed the northern lights (aurora borealis).

Friday Night Forest

Today I got a letter from Drift, who I met in Yann’s town Tropical.

Jeff! Did you have a sweet time in Tropical? You seemed pretty bushed when you left. How are you holdin' up now? Hope you come by again! -Later, DriftI watered my flowers and found one new black rose. Later on, I opened my gate. TZ and Yann came to visit. At one point, Yann was talking to Del, but Del’s snout went through Yann’s head.

Del's snout going through the back of Yann's head.We were discussing the term R&B (rhythm & blues) and listing other possible things that the letters R&B could stand for (other than music). Some of the better ones we came up with included rolls and butter, ribs and BBQ, rocks and boulders, rabbits and bunnies, rupees and bells, ranch and buffalo, ribbons and bows, rears and butts, rice and beans, and rifles and bullets. Yes, somehow we end up turning Animal Crossing into a word game sometimes. If you think of some good ones for R&B, post them in the comments!

Yann: rabbit and bunnies. Jeff: rupees and bells. T Zelda: rips and buffs.Around 11:00, TZ left and Bradley came in. We hung out in Peaches’ house for a while, and talked about Del leaving soon. My Yukon Cornelius Mii made an appearance, looking for the similarly-named Yuka, who we ended up trapping near the beach. Bradley saw a fish and caught it…it was a tuna! Nice catch!

Jeff says "tuna-riffic!" as Bradley holds up a tuna.We later went to my house, where we all were starting to get tired. I ended the party soon after this picture was taken.
