## Introduction

When speaking to Aaliyah for the first time in a new game
 **Aaliyah:**Oh, hello! I don’t think we’ve met.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I’m Aaliyah.

#### Any amount of hearts

 **Aaliyah:**Now that I’m home, I don’t get to fly as much… I miss it! I’m itching to get back in the cockpit.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I wouldn’t let Mama hear me say that, though. She seems to think I’m home for good.
It’ll be easier for everyone if we let her keep thinking that until I have to leave again.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Or maybe it makes it worse…? I just don’t want unnecessary conflict, is all.
Not while I’m living under the same roof with her.
 **Aaliyah:**You know, I’m glad to be back on Coral Island, but it’s not quite the same without my dad and my little brother here.
 **Aaliyah:**Do you grow trees on your farm? I heard they don’t die.
Food for thought.
 **Aaliyah:**Mama likes to be busy… I told Noah that it’s best to just let her.
It’s good for her to have activities so she doesn’t just sit around the house.
 **Aaliyah:**I like to eat the same things, especially for lunch.
It’s simple, you know? Eggplant lasagna or some hummus with *things*. I just made a bunch of food and put it in the fridge.
It’s one less thing to think about in the morning.
 **Aaliyah:**I saw one of my brother’s cats on the roof the other day!
It was at Sam’s General Store. Do they go to your place too?
 **Aaliyah:**I help out my brothers at the Tavern sometimes, cleaning up, closing, business advice – things like that.
It’s what big sisters are for, right?

#### Starting with two hearts

 **Aaliyah:**Chaem is fun to play volleyball with. She’s really good.
Learning a lot of tricks and stuff from her.
 **Aaliyah:**I’m ready to relocate my family to the city if I have to… You know, with the whole oil spill thing.
It hasn’t gotten that bad, I suppose.
 **Aaliyah:**Don’t always believe everything you hear around here.
One time I heard a rumor from my own little brother about a ghost playing the piano in the community center. Yada yada yada.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**To have a ghost is one thing. Now they play the piano *too*?
Where would they even learn to do such a thing?

#### Starting with three hearts

 **Aaliyah:**Mama’s been baking up a storm lately. I keep telling her, “Don’t tempt me – I have to stay in shape!”
But then she waves a chocolate chip muffin under my nose, and that’s it, I’m gone.

#### Starting with four hearts

 **Aaliyah:**Playing volleyball with Chaem pushes me to be a better player… I like it.
It makes me better, *and* I get to work out.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Besides, she told me she needed a partner to train with.
I mean, if I can be of help, why not, right?
 **Aaliyah:**Every several weeks or so, Eddy does his disappearing act where he doesn’t answer mail and makes Mama all worried.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I’m gonna have to snoop on social media and find out what he’s up to.
He’s got me all worried too!
 **Aaliyah:**I’m glad to be where I am in life, but I can’t stop here, no. I wanna keep educating myself…reach for the stars, as it were.
I gotta set a good example for my little brothers.
 **Aaliyah:**Have you heard of this show? I think it’s called Game of Cones? Noah’s always going on about it.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I tried watching it with him, but it just made me hungry.
 **Aaliyah:**Mama loves feeding the birds. She always has. When my brothers and I were kids, she taught us how to make bird feeders.
I still know how. I’ve just never done it.
Friday, Saturday
 **Aaliyah:**The weekend’s here. I’m gonna get Noah to play volleyball with me tomorrow.
He’s probably gonna say no again. It’s hard to get that one to do any sports.

#### Starting with five hearts

 **Aaliyah:**You’re one reliable farmer, *Player*.
I like that trait in a person.
 **Aaliyah:**Oh hey, by the way… I like chatting with you.
You’re smart. You know a lot of things, that’s for sure!
 **Aaliyah:**The trickiest part about being in basic training is the confinement. You gotta be okay with being with people in a small space for a long time.
Good thing I grew up with a lot of siblings. Trained since childhood, if you ask me!
 **Aaliyah:**Eggplant lasagna is far superior to generic lasagna.
The texture is out of this world!
 **Aaliyah:**I joined the military after university because I knew it was a path to becoming an astronaut.
Who doesn’t wanna be an astronaut?!
Monday–Wednesday
 **Aaliyah:**I see your work around the community, *Player*. Respect! I’d tip my hat to you if I were wearing one!
I don’t shy away from hard work either… I see we have a lot in common.
Monday–Thursday
 **Aaliyah:**It got pretty lonely at basic training. I missed my family.
Never leaving a place for months. That’s a long time.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**We *did* have a lot of things to do. The work never really stopped, so it wasn’t like we were sitting down, being bored.
But yeah. It gets to you sometimes.

#### With less than seven hearts

 **Aaliyah:**My little brother and his friend, Alice, sure like talking about aliens. They have some…interesting theories.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I used to dream about going to the moon when I was little. Mama told us about the Moon Goddess and her rabbit.
I wanted to go there too. Ha ha! Thought it was the coolest thing.

#### Between four and seven hearts

 **Aaliyah:**My little brother and his friend, Alice, sure like talking about aliens. They have some…interesting theories.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**The universe is big, so maybe we aren’t the only ones! But who knows?
If I see something when I’m in space, I’ll let you know. Ha ha!

#### Between five and seven hearts

 **Aaliyah:**Can’t wait to actually live on a spaceship up there and see Earth from above.
The view will be unbelievable!
Friday–Sunday
 **Aaliyah:**It’s tricky to get some space in space…Heh heh!
Jokes aside, you gotta learn to coexist with others in a confined environment while under a *lot* of stress.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Gotta say, it isn’t a walk in the park, but my siblings prepared me for it just fine.
I don’t think I’m doing so bad.

### Seasonal lines

#### Spring

Generic Spring lines
 **Aaliyah:**I don’t mind the cold weather and stuff, but nothing, and I mean, *nothing* beats eating outdoors.
But it’s much better in Spring than in the middle of an ice-cold Winter afternoon, of course.
 **Aaliyah:**Enjoying Spring so far?
 **Aaliyah:**Do you grow strawberries on your farm? If you don’t, you should!
They’re so good when they’re fresh. My absolute favorite fruit.
Starting with two hearts
 **Aaliyah:**Being outdoors on a warm Spring day like this is my favorite.
Get that vitamin D, move your body… When your mind is clear, your day will be too.
Spring 2–7
 **Aaliyah:**Miss the snow yet?
Spring 5–9
 **Aaliyah:**Planning to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival, *Player*? You don’t want to miss it!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Frank will be manning the grill, and my brother is more or less the grill master of Coral Island, so…
Spring 6–8
 **Aaliyah:**Whatever you bring to the Cherry Blossom Festival, please don’t let it be brussels sprouts. Yuck!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Blech! Sorry! Don’t worry about it.
You can bring whatever you want.
Spring 10–20, starting with one heart
 **Aaliyah:**Spring is cool, but poor Char–
Ah! I’m just messing with you! Ha ha!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Gah! People here can get all over your business, right? Everyone keeps talking about poor Charles this, poor Charles that.
Leave the man alone, people!
Spring 11
 **Aaliyah:**Did you enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival? I ate so much I could hardly walk home!

#### Summer

Generic Summer lines
 **Aaliyah:**I’m A-OK to spend my whole Summer at the beach, playing volleyball.
But the thing is, I can’t seem to find any partners other than Chaem.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Yeah, Paul is there sometimes and stuff. Just not often enough, you know?
 **Aaliyah:**I can’t imagine going to the hot spring in this heat.
But I heard from my friend Chaem that the hunter dude goes there in Summer.
 **Aaliyah:**Don’t let the heat get you, *Player*!
Power through!
 **Aaliyah:**The grass changes color in Summer. Did you notice that?
 **Aaliyah:**So tell me, *Player*, as a *vegetable grower*. Why do people care so much about the price of turnips?
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Hmm… Maybe not here, on Coral Island.
I visited an island some Summers ago – the heat reminds me of that trip. Anyway, some of the villagers there get very excited over the price of turnips.
It was oddly wholesome to see.
Summer 2–5
 **Aaliyah:**Whoa! The farmer is here!
You look like you’re ready for Summer. Good for you.
Summer 2–7
 **Aaliyah:**Thankfully I’ve fixed Fishensips’ ventilation just in time for Summer. It turned out there were clumped-up leaves stuck in there.
Gah!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**Could’ve been worse, I guess… It could’ve been a dead rat or worse…
Summer 23–28, starting at 5 hearts
 **Aaliyah:**I’m looking forward to spending some time at the beach and soaking up the sun.

#### Fall

Generic Fall lines
 **Aaliyah:**Now that it’s Fall, Mama can’t stop baking mooncakes at home.
It’s not that I want her to, anyway. Heh heh!
 **Aaliyah:**It sure doesn’t sound like a bad idea to fly over Coral Island right now. Just when the leaves are changing color.
Fall 7–12
 **Aaliyah:**Do you think you might enter the crop display contest at the Harvest Festival?
You should! You might win something!
Fall 21–25
 **Aaliyah:**Do you have more layers at home you can wear?
Winter is next week, and it seems like it might be a cold one this year.
Fall 25–25, starting with four hearts
 **Aaliyah:**Saw Lily cleaning up her mom’s grave the other day.
It must’ve been the day when–
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**It’s never easy to lose a parent… It wasn’t easy when I was little, and it isn’t easy now.
I feel for her and her brother.

#### Winter

Generic Winter lines
 **Aaliyah:**My brothers and I used to build snow forts in weather like this. Our snowball wars were epic!
 **Aaliyah:**Winter is nice here. I like the snow in the trees.
Only in trees! When there’s snow on the path – that’s different.
 **Aaliyah:**You can cook nice hot meals if you have a kitchen.
Now that it’s Winter, you might want to have hot dinners. Thaw out your frozen insides. Ha ha!
 **Aaliyah:**You wanna have a snowball fight?
C’mon! It’ll be fun.
Starting with one heart
 **Aaliyah:**Bring on the snow! Winter’s here, so let’s get on with it. &laughs&
Winter 20–23
 **Aaliyah:**Are you going to Bree’s for the New Year’s feast? It’s going to be a good time!

### Weather-specific lines

#### Rain

 **Aaliyah:**When I was in basic training, they made us camp out for three days in weather like this.
A test of endurance and your ability to stay cooped up in a small space with a bunch of people.
Outdoors
 **Aaliyah:**You know what I’m craving right now, *Player*? A nice hot cup of coffee…
I’m gonna go and get some.
Starting with five hearts
 **Aaliyah:**Hopefully with the rain this heavy, the sky clears up tomorrow night. It would be nice to stargaze if you ask me.
Starting with five hearts, indoors
 **Aaliyah:**It’s a little chilly today. It’s kinda nice.

### Location-specific lines

#### Lake

Starting with two hearts

I’m here to train. Gotta keep fit to be an astronaut…and smart.
Oof, a lot of things to keep up with! But I’ll be okay.
I will be A-OK… Yep!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**\*left eye twitches\*

#### Beach

Starting with two hearts
 **Aaliyah:**Gah! I got sand in my mouth!
 **Aaliyah:**The beach is nice this time of year.
Well, the beach is nice *any* time of year, to be honest. Especially when the weather is perfect like this.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**It brings back a lot of childhood memories.
Starting with four hearts
 **Aaliyah:**That volleyball thing over there…it’s been here since I was little.
But the bright-red color is new.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**The whole area, including the chair, used to be blue.
 **Aaliyah:**Going on a walk?
I’m gonna have to wash my hair tonight… The smell of the ocean is strong today.

#### Center of town

Starting with two hearts
 **Aaliyah:**I like getting coffee at Raj’s place.
They’re good at making coffee – my favorite!
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**They once told me about how every cup is special – creating one is a work of art, things like that.
It works, though! Because the coffee at their place just tastes better than it does at home. I don’t know how to describe it.

#### Fishensips

 **Aaliyah:**Hey, *Player*. Did you stop in for a drink?
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**If you want to order, go to the counter. Frank will take care of you.
In living room
 **Aaliyah:***Player*, want to watch some TV with me?
I don’t even know what I’m watching. I wasn’t paying attention.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**I’m trying to unwind, but my brain’s going a mile a minute tonight.
It’s hard to stop it when my brain starts doing its *thing*.

### Questions

Starting with two hearts
 **Aaliyah:**Tell me, *Player*, do you think you’ll stick around on Coral Island? What’s your master plan?
  **Player:**I think I will! I like it here.
 **Aaliyah:**Yeah, I hear you. My career took me away from Coral Island for a bit, but this place is always home.
  **Player:**Not sure yet… This might just be a pit stop.
 **Aaliyah:**Hmm. I get it, I do. You have to go where you need to be, know what I’m saying?
But I hope you’ll stick around for a while. We’re just getting to know each other.

### Rare lines

Very rare random dialogue
 **Aaliyah:**I wanna go up there… the outer space.
But to be honest with you, I’m kind of nervous.
What if I'm never picked… I’d get too old to go one day.

## Festival lines

### Cherry Blossom Festival

Before festival
 **Aaliyah:**Frank’s at the grill, so I skipped breakfast today.
During festival
 **Aaliyah:**My baby brother Frank is your guy for grilling stuff. A lot like dad.
After potluck (25–100 pts)
 **Aaliyah:**Oh wow, I hope I didn’t eat too much today.
I get this nasty acid reflux if I have too much food in one sitting.
After potluck (0–24 pts)
 **Aaliyah:**I think I can make a better hotpot at home.
But hey, who am I to judge?
If Aaliyah has not been met prior to the festival
 **Aaliyah:**Oh, hello! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Aaliyah.
You must be the new farmer. Everyone in town was talking about you.
Talk to Aaliyah again
 **Aaliyah:**My brother, Frank, is manning the grill today.
That alone would be a big reason to get excited for today's festival.

### Tree Planting Festival

During festival
 **Aaliyah:**This area gets a lot of rain. It’s good because a nice, stable water supply is what we need for reforestation.

### Animal Festival

During festival
 **Aaliyah:**The town always goes above and beyond for festivals. It’s amazing.
I missed it when I was away.

### Beach Clean Up

Aaliyah has no dialogue for the Beach Cleanup Festival.

### Harvest Festival

 **Aaliyah:**If I were you, I’d stay off the sweets today, *Player*.

You might get one of my mystery ones. Ha ha ha!
