Classic Easter Egg
Before I begin, happy birthday to my first ever Animal Crossing friend and number one fan, Buck! However, before I could delve into the festivities, I had to get my daily activities out of the way first.

I checked my mail before I changed clothes, so I could put on one of my new shirts that arrived today. I opted for my Pink Bud Tank, since I wanted to look nice for Buck's party and it looks best with my Hair-Bow Wig. I swapped my gold shovel for my silver one and left the house.

Whitney was in nextdoor, so I stopped by to see her first. She pointed out her Floral Knit Shirt that is displayed in her room, and I must admire her for keeping her original clothing despite having changed out of it. Then she complimented my outfit, which assured me that I had made a good decision while getting dressed today.

No, not quite... I agree, it is still a bit chilly, but I thought I would be bold today.
Lastly, she noticed the Kiddie Bookcase I was carrying that Wart Jr. had mailed to me and said that she absolutely MUST have one, as Chic Wolf Monthly says that they're "so trendy right now." I conceded and let her have it. Only now have I realized the possibility of her putting it in her room...I hope she doesn't.

Up above the plaza in the lily patch, I found Mitzi watering some flowers. She said she recalled me saying that I wanted a Candy Gingham Tee, which I never did say, but told her I did seeing I didn't have one in my catalog.

Next I approached Chief, who too had his watering can at the ready, and he ran over to me. He said he'd heard people calling me Bethers, and however much I like being called Missy by him, I allowed him to call me by the new nickname. Just about anything sounds cute coming from him.

Later on down the line, I found Becky also watering flowers, and she wanted to trade her Brown Pot for my Night Sky Tee. I agreed, since I would be selling either. Just below, I found my favorite kitty, Lolly. She told me to look at something she had, which turned out to be the very first letter that I ever sent her. Evidently I had sent her a piece of furniture, since I'd said I had something fixed up for her and that I was very glad that I could convince her to move in. I'm glad she hangs onto it. :')

After I'd searched all of town and uncovered any foreign objects, I began to water my breeding flowers and found Mitzi beside Fang's. She called me over and proposed a trade of my Female Mask for her Eight-Ball Tee. In light of Whitney having her Floral Knit Tee, I thought it might be a good idea to send Buck his original shirt and see what he does with it. So, I agreed to the trade and stashed the tee away to be mailed to him later.

Wart Jr. and Fang were also enjoying the day in their homes, and I paid them each a visit respectively. Wart Jr. pointed out that Whitney and Fang get along awfully well for a boy and a girl, and I told him that was only to be expected considering they're siblings or cousins or something. Isn't that obvious?
Fang was slightly perturbed by a dream that he had last night. He said that an old friend of his came by to see him while he was sleeping, wrote "FOOT" on the bottoms of his feet in marker, and left. I assured him that such a dream couldn't possibly have any underlying meaning. Next he suggested I trade my emerald for something of lesser value. I hated to disappoint him, but I had to turn him down.

Since that was just about all of my friends covered, I set off toward Main Street to pay a visit to Blathers. Just up the stairs, I found Deirdre doing some window shopping outside of T&T. Having done a mental roll-call as I went about town today, I tried to narrow it down to whomever would be my fellow guest at Buck's birthday party and that just left Felicity.

After selling my inventory and returning to Main Street for my routine shopping, I made my way back down to Re-Tail to sell some things that I had bought for my catalog. Lolly stopped me just outside and noticed the Number 67 Shirt that I had. I let her buy it for the GENEROUS price of 62 bells, and she put it on right away. It doesn't look all that bad on her, in my opinion. Once she was done, I could go inside and sell everything to Reese so I could get on over to Buck's.

My assumptions were correct, for Felicity was already there partying away.
Funny, really. Since Buck was at Felicity's birthday party. They must be closer than I thought.

I gave Buck his Foosball Table to unwrap, and he was loved it so much that he claimed sports drink was falling from his eyes. That was probably true; At least 70% of his bodily makeup has to be sports drink. Then I greeted Felicity and asked her how the party had been going so far.

Well, yes. Do you not recall having 3 birthdays in the past week? One of them being yours!

Now, since Buck is my number one all-time favorite character of every Animal Crossing ever, I'm going to take a moment to share a few reasons why I adore him so much.

He's a supportive friend.

He treats you like one of his own.

He's observant.

And we're always in agreement on matters.

So there you have it, several memories I have of my very best friend that endear him to me so much. I look forward to making many more with my crazy muscle head in the future. I love you, Buck! Stay chill. <3

Happy Birthday, Buck! I'm sure he had a great day (at least, from the looks of it, he has), and many more to come! :D
 
Happy birthday to Buck! He's always been there for me since Wild World. Your observation of him being supportive is obviously correct. ;) I'm also glad to hear that he liked the Foosball table.
