So I went shopping with my cousin and she decided to buy herself a 3DS XL... Needless to say, I got a bit jealous but shrugged it off. And she asked me if she needed to buy any games for it. I told her there were probably some free games on the online store for the 3DS. Then she asked me if there were any good Mario games in the nearby aisle, so I checked around. Mind you, this was the local AAFES military exchange in town, so no state sales tax applies! But, there was a limited selection on games... We looked around and found a Paper Mario game and a Mario Party game. Both of them were a bit pricey (she was buying some makeup too and didn't feel like spending all of her hard earned money today.) I ended up telling her about this really nice game she might like called Animal Crossing: New Leaf, since all of my online & IRL friends were playing it too. I told her it was full of cute animals and you can make your own clothing designs, furniture, and so much more. I didn't find it... at that moment.

So I was still looking around and as my cousin was deciding what color she wanted, I found Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 (no Heart Gold, Soul Silver, or X/Y sadly) I'm already very behind on my Pokemon games and I have a strange ability to lose them around the time I get the courage to fight the Elite Four... So I thought about buying them, but I remembered I have bills to pay while my mom is out of town. I also realized I could've bought the Black game when it came out since I still have my DS Lite. Plus, I didn't bother to upgrade like everyone else since I still have Sapphire, Emerald, & LeafGreen version and some other GBA & regular DS games. She came back to the cart and told me she wanted the red-colored XL and I saw the 3DS I was meant to have: a purple 3DS. Purple is my absolute favorite color and it was in one of the darker shades I love~ Like I said earlier, I have to pay bills while my mom is out, so I'd have to wait for a few more weeks until I had the spending money again. I checked the back of the shelf and found only one more just like it. A bit saddened & hopeful, I looked around the games to pick in case I wanted to have a nice game to go with the 3DS. I found it...

ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW LEAF, GUYS! The last copy they had in the store too! I was so happy I could've shop-lifted the thing and the 3DS in a heartbeat, but I didn't because I'm a good kid~ (Not really... the alarm for the box would've gone off) My cousin indeed liked the cute characters on the cover. She told me to buy the game first, and then save up for the system so that way I'd have something to motivate me to work even harder at the restaurant. (She works there with me and talks to me in Thai sometimes.) I agreed to the idea and grabbed the last copy and put it in the cart. I put the OtakUSA magazine I had back on the shelf since it was going to be replaced the next day & I already read it...

Before we left the store though, I took a snapshot of the 3DS with the price tag under it. It's my phone's background pic & it motivates me every time I check my messages.

Another animal crossing aficionado! :la: I sure hope time flies and you have enough soon to nab the 3DS too. The game is so fun!
