Heart Events

'"Pet Shop and the Rancher" Black Heart Event


In order to see the first event, Rod has 5,000FP (black heart) or more, and you must own at least one chicken. It will take place at Rod's house in between 1PM and 6PM on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.


Rod: That's it, perfect! Well done, well done!

Player comes up to Rod

Rod: Ah, hello MC! Have you come to see me?

MC nods

Rod: Great, I'm happy to see you! I'm just teaching my dog some tricks. He really needs the exercise! You keep chickens, don't you MC? Could I take a look at them?

MC nods

Rod: Great, thanks! Let's go right away.

Go to see your chickens

Rod: Wow, how cute! They look tough to take care of, though!

- Much harder than a regular pet. -2000 FP

- Want to give it a try? +3000 FP

Rod: *Music notes* Wow, you sure? Thanks, MC! Tell me everything I need to know, okay?

MC nods and then they do some stupid stuff with pitchforks, Rod angers the chicken, then gets tired

Rod: Phew, I thought it would be tough, but you're no kidding! It was a lot of fun, too, though. I learned a lot! Thanks MC.

Music notes from MC

Rod: I'd better be getting home, anyway. Let me take care of them again, okay? I'm looking forward to it already!

MC nods and Rod leaves

"A Picnic" Purple Heart Event


The next event can be seen when Rod is at a purple heart. After you've seen the first event, walk into your farmhouse between 10AM and 3PM on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday during sunny weather to see this event.


Rod: MC, good morning. I'm coming in!

  • Rod comes into your house*

Rod: Hey, MC. Have you got some time? I was just about to head out to the top of the mountain for a picnic. Would you like to come with me?

MC nods

Rod: *Music note* Great! Let's go!

Both walk out to the mountain

Rod: Wow! It sure does feel good this high up, doesn't it! We're almost at the summit.

MC has an exclamation point and sweats

Rod: What's up, MC? Are you worn out? Do you need a break?

- We're so close. I'm okay!
- I need...need a break

Rod: *Music note* Let's press on, then. Just a little more and we'll be there, MC! It'll be worth it.

MC nods and they walk up the mountain and stretch

Rod: We made it! Great work, MC. I made lunch for us. Do you want to eat it together, MC?

MC has an exclamation point and goes "..."

Rod: Hey, that's not a very nice reaction! I live alone, so I cook! I cook pretty well! I've got confidence in today's spread, too. Come on, let's eat!

MC nods and they eat with music notes

Rod: Well? Tastes pretty good, doesn't it?

MC nods

Rod: I know you'd like it! I'd make a pretty good homemaker, don't you think? *starts blushing* I think having a boyfriend like me would really help you out, MC.

MC has question mark

Rod: Oh, did I just say that out loud? I'm just talking to myself, don't worry! I had fun today, MC. Let's go out again soon!

MC nods

"A Ring" Confession Event


Give him a Ring on Saturday or Sunday in Sunny weather between 8:00 am and 11:00 pm and Rod must be at a blue heart color or higher. You also need to see the Black and Purple Heart Events.


Rod: What?! Is this for me? This isn't a joke right? Okay, MC. I have some things I want to tell you too. Let's go someplace quiet where we can talk.

Goes to goddess spring

Rod: Hey, MC. I just want to double check. Was that ring back there really for me?

MC takes out ring

Rod: Well, MC, you know how earlier I was saying that I have something to tell you? Actually...I really like you, too. I've been thinking it would be nice if we dated for a while now. That's to say I'm really happy. MC, please be my girlfriend!

MC hands ring over and hearts fly over their heads

Rod: Nice! Hearing you feel that way is really like a dream come true. Hey, this is a great opportunity to change what we call each other. I think that should make us feel more like a real couple. What name should I call you by?

  • Keep the same name
  • Change it

Rod: Okay, got it. MC it is. Well, I have something to take care of, so I need to be on my way. Sorry I can't see you home. Till next time, MC. Here's to us!

'"Words of Encouragement" Green Heart Event


You must give Rod a ring to see this event and the ones to follow. If you have (and have seen the purple heart event), enter Rod's house in between 1PM and 6PM on any day of the week when he's at a green heart or higher.


Rod is looking at a bookshelf going *...* with annoyed scribbles and MC walks up to him causing him to go "!"

Rod: Hey, MC! *hearts* Thanks for coming. It's great to see you!

MC nods, ?

Rod: You want to know what I'm doing? Studying, that's what.

MC: ?

Rod: I run a pet shop, so I need to know all I can about cats, dogs, horses and other animals. MC, do you remember how you let me take care of your chickens on your farm, before we started dating?

MC nods

Rod: That was when I realized that I knew almost nothing about keeping birds as pets.

MC: ...

Rod: *annoyed scribbles* So I've started to read all sorts of books about animals, including birds. Just books aren't enough, though. The more I read the more I've been made to realize that I just don't know enough.

MC: ...

Rod: It's pathetic that I run a pet store but there's all this stuff I don't know about pets.

MC: ..

MC: Rod is trying hard but he's down about something. What should I say to him?

- I'll study with you
- I'll teach you
- Try looking after some animals
- You're pathetic

Rod: ! MC!

MC nods

Rod: You'll help me with my studies? Thank you, MC.

MC music notes

Rod: Along with you...I mean, with you at my side, I think I can do even better.

Rod and MC hearts

Rod: Let's do this thing, then! Come sit beside me and let's read this book together, MC.

MC nods and walks up to Rod

Rod and MC hearts

- I'll teach you
Rod: ! What? Are you sure?

MC: nods

Rod: Thank you, MC.

MC music notes

Rod: So can we get started? Can we start with the chickens?

MC: !

Rod: So there's this...and then...

MC: ? *sweatdrops*

Rod: So what happens if...this is like this?

MC: ...

Rod: ? What's wrong, MC?

MC: ...*shakes head*

Rod: You don't know, MC? What can we do, then? ! Ah! Neil might know! I'll go and ask him about it right away. Do you want to come along, MC?

MC: ...*shakes head*

Rod: Okay, I'll go. Come and see me later MC.

Rod leaves

MC: It look like Rod has cheered up a little. There's things to be learnt from him.

- Trying looking after some animals
Rod: ! You're right. A picture is worth a thousand words. Just like with the chickens, actually trying it is the best way to do it.

MC nods

Rod: I know a guy who works in a zoo. I'll ask him if maybe I can try looking after some different animals. Thanks, MC. I'm going to do whatever I can, and be positive about it.

MC music notes

Rod: I didn't really want you to see me like this, to be honest. But with you telling me to hang in there, to keep on trying...It's great. I'm really, really happy.

MC hearts

Rod: How about we start by looking after the animals on your farm again?

MC nods

Rod: Thank you, MC. Let's go and get started!

- You're pathetic
Rod: ! Uwah. Having my girlfriend say that really magnifies the hurt! Not sure if I can take any more!

MC: ...

Rod: I guess that's the price I pay. I'm going to mend my ways, you'll see! I'll learn all I can! Thank you, MC. I'm going to do my best from now on.

MC nods with music notes

Rod ellipsis bubble and then annoyed scribbles

MC: ?

Rod: Your words have had a powerful effect on me. A damaging effect! I think I'm about to start crying...

MC: ! *sweatdrops* He's recovered, but maybe I went a little too far. Sorry, Rod!

Festivals

Crop Festival

Beginner Vegetable, Win

Hey, did you see it MC? Neil was making a really grossed out face earlier.
I wonder if there was something someone put out that he really didn't like?
He looks normal but really there are a lot of things he likes and doesn't like.

Advanced Vegetable, Win

That is super amazing that you won in the advanced class!
Next you should aim for the repeat win! Good luck on your next victory!

Cooking Festival

Intermediate Fried and Boiled, Win

Everything looked so delicious! I was drooling just looking at the dishes.
I know it's because he's a judge, but I'm still jealous that Clement gets to try everything.

Congrats on winning in the intermediate class! You really are amazing, MC!
I should follow your example!

I'm really hungry after the Cooking Festival today, with so many delicious looking dishes.
We should have dinner early tonight!
But if we eat too early, we'll get hungry again before bedtime.. hmm, what to do..

Music Festival

That was an amazing performance!
...What? I was falling asleep? N-Nuh-uh! I was really listening!

Fireworks Festival

I wonder if it is true that Dunhill is actually involved in making fireworks a little.
That is amazing if it is true. When I went to the shop the other day, he also seemed familiar handling pets.
Maybe there is nothing that he can't do. I respect him so much!

Doesn't the sound of fireworks startle you a little?
It is the same as thunder, isn't it? Even though you know it is coming, it is surprising when it does come.
I wonder if here is someone who isn't bothered by that instant?

The fireworks were very pretty! It is a shame that they are over. I wanted to see more.

New Year's Eve

Hey, MC! Happy New Year! I wish you a wonderful year ♪
