Becky’s Back!

It was raining as I started up my game today. And I saw that the spot next door, where Del used to live, was no longer empty! There’s a house there again!

A new house in the spot where Del lived.So I went inside to meet my new neighbor…only to find out it was someone I already knew. It was Becky, who had just moved here from my friend Megan’s town, May West.

Becky: Fine. I'm Becky from May West, if you really need it spelled out, garbanzo.So yes, animals still can move to friends’ towns even after Nintendo discontinued WiiConnect24. I used the search box on the JVGS home page to see when I mentioned Becky before, and I saw that Becky did send me a letter last July. It’s a shame she has such a long memory, because I didn’t really want her moving in.

This actually isn’t the first time Becky has lived in Forest. I had her in my town a few years ago, before I started my blog. This isn’t the same Becky though.

But speaking of animals moving, Avery today told me had a song stuck in his head. It was the town theme from Anville, where he used to live. That’s Olivia’s town. He wondered if he still had unfinished business there.

Moving right along, I headed into another birdhouse bird’s house. Robin wanted me to feel comfortable in her home, but not so comfortable that I’d forget it’s her home and not mine.

Robin: But still, a good hostess wants her guests to feel at home, as long as they remember it's MINE.And back outside, Jeremiah asked me to find a pondskater for him. I told him “sure,” but I’m feeling a little lazy today…

Jeremiah: That's why I'm thinking that a pondskater would be the perfect pet for me!I also spotted Wendell out in the rain. Since I usually just ignore him (or mock him), I thought I would be nice for a change and give him some food. I handed him a cherry (that should fill him up) and he gave me a “coloring Resetti” pattern.

Wendell: ...So glad I found someone good to take coloring Resetti!I don’t really need it, or want it, but you’re welcome.

A Sunny Sunday Afternoon

With it being Sunday, I went to the city so I could check out the new emotions at the theater. They didn’t have the two I’m looking for (agreement or outrage), but I spotted Wendy the sheep in the plaza. She wondered if there were any good items at the auction house. Apparently she hasn’t heard the news about Nintendo discontinuing WiiConnect24.

Wendy: I wonder if there are any good items in the Auction House today?I then rode the bus back to Forest and started watering my flowers. I saw Felicity over by the museum, and she was telling me that she’s not very smart. Why don’t you tell me something I don’t already know?

Felicity: Hi, Chill J! Hey, I was just thinking... I look all street smart and stuff, but not book smart.I saw a large fish shadow in the river, and that’s almost always a good thing. I fished it out, and it was a gar! That’s a nice 6,000 bell catch!

I caught a gar! Gar har har HAAAAR!I circled around town and I only found one new black rose today. Before I ended my day, I talked to Melba; she seemed a bit confused…

Melba: Oh, hello, big bro. QUACK QUACK?Eunice’s replacement still hasn’t moved in yet. I’ll be sure to update when that happens. Bye for now.

Bye Bye Black Sheep

I got a goodbye letter from Eunice in the mail today. She moved out of town this morning.

Dear jeff, Today's my last day. I'm leaving Forest. Good-bye, Jeff. I hope you won't forget me! -Take care, Eunice♪ Bye bye black sheep, to ewe and all your wool.
Yes sir, yes sir, my town’s no longer full. ♪

I ran into Avery over by town hall, and he told me something hard to believe. He said that Agent S has been destroying his flower garden! Agent S wouldn’t do that! Not to mention, Avery doesn’t even have a flower garden!

Avery: The other day, that dope Agent S completely trashed a bunch of the flowers I've been growing.Saharah was in town today, looking for old wallpaper.

Saharah: When you have old wallpaper, we talk again.I went around and asked my villagers, but Rowan was the only animal to have any wallpaper for me. And I only had one in storage, so I didn’t have enough to get a rare wallpaper this time.

I found two new black roses on my walk around town. As for my goal of lining all my paths with gold roses, I wouldn’t be surprised if it still takes me another year to have enough.
