Velma’s Goodbye

Today was Velma’s last day living in town, so I made sure to say goodbye to her.

Velma: I'll think of you often! OK, get out of here quickly before I start crying...
Oops, too late.

After changing my hair back at Shampoodle, I went diving in the ocean. I caught a scallop, and that triggered Pascal to pop up and demand it from me. If he’s already underwater, why doesn’t he catch one himself? I gave him the scallop and he left me a barrel in exchange. He also had some words for me, although this wasn’t exactly his usual wise advice.

Pascal: Ever seen a whale sneeze? Maaan, you are missing out!Merka let me go to her town Bribs to sell some perfect peaches. I had 30 baskets altogether, and I sold them for a total of 810,000 bells. Thanks, Merka!

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 432,000 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?While I was there, I had a chat with my former villager Drago. He asked what was new in Forest, and I told him we have bread-eating contests now.

Drago: Huh?! Bread-eating contests?! We didn't have any of that back when I lived there!
That’s what you get for leaving.

I wanted to speak with Kidd too, but he wasn’t home and I didn’t see him around anywhere. But Merka and I went out to the island for a couple tours.

Tortimer: That's enough to net you a Gold Tortimer award and 8 medals!Once we earned enough for the gold awards, I got an axe from Lloid and starting chopping down trees.

Chopping down a tree as an island tour ends.
Timber!

After we were done, I put my peach money into the bank. My account balance topped 64.7 million bells.

Later on, Elliott came over to adopt Velma.

Me and Elliott in Velma's house.Velma confirmed that she’s moving to Forest. Wait, you’re already in Forest! Elliott’s town is also named Forest, so maybe Velma can keep her same address labels.

Velma: Chap! Did you know I'm moving to Forest?I hope you enjoy having Velma in your town, Elliott! And good luck to Velma on her new adventure! Just a bit of trivia: It’s been six months since a Forest resident has moved out of town: Tom (unexpectedly) left town back on September 13th.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Evan from Michael was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend, everyone!
