Note: This is my first fan fiction :D. I hope for good reviews, and not super harsh ones.

Claire's Point of View.
Though this place is a waste land I'll never regret buying it…
I'm Claire, and well... I bought this farm land a few weeks ago, I already cleared out the weed, and made a few friends, did I mention I got some animals too? Guess mom forcing me to work out actually paid off, I feel great getting things accomplished.
Chicken: Wing. :D
Cow: Stew. :D
Horse: Star :D .
Aren't those adorable names? ^^
Today, I'm visiting Ann, she's not what I call a tomboy but that's what she's known as. She's not really girly either. More like, stubborn? Either way, I'm dropping off some eggs today, dunno why she needs them but I get a free meal, so all's good.
At the Inn.
"HEY ANN! I got your eggs."
"Hey Claire, can you put them in the back? Kinda busy right now."
"No prob."
It was actually 7 in the morning, since I just started my farm, there's not much to do. I wonder how long it would take before I could successful revive my farm?
"Hey Claire?" Ann yelled breaking my train of thoughts
"Mmm? Oh uh, Yeah"
" Can you go upstairs and wake Gray up? He's gonna be late for work, he stayed up late last night."
"Sure?"
I started walked up the stairs, just when I reached the top I bumped into someone falling over them.
"Oh my goddess, I'm so sorry are you alright?" I asked sincerely, rubbing my eyes.
"Uh…y-yeah." The voice went.
I instantly knew from the stuttering that was Cliff. The towns shy guy. He's cute and all, but I hardly get words out of him. I get up and stretch out my hand.
" I'm sorry" I repeat
He grabs my hand, as I lift him up.
" I'm f-fine." He stammered
Feeling bad, I quickly thought up an idea.
"Hey Cliff, how 'bout I make it up to you, I'll come by the Church later and bring you curry rice?" Remembering , Ann telling you he loved curry rice.
Turning red he said "Thanks Claire" and let out a sheepish smile.
"No worries, I'm the one who fell on you." Which turned him a brighter red.
"Um, I'll go n-now."
"Bye Cliff!" I shot him a smile, and he turned red again. I wonder what he's nervous about? I sigh as I walked to Gray's Room. Damn, I got that many words out of Cliff? I should get an award!
I opened the door and saw grey sleeping silently. So I walk up to his side, then…
BAM! I jumped on him. "WAKE UP GRAAY" I sang.
"Huh? … WHAT?!" He, like Cliff, turned red.
"Ann asked me to wake you up, what did you think?" Still on top of him grinning.
"Uh, nothing…" Turning even more red. I wonder if it was a disease going around?
Getting off Gray, I wave good bye and skipped out of the room.
I go home and make some curry rice. While the pot was heating up the rice, I decided to kill time by finding my camera. It took a while but by the time I found it the curry rice was done. I was thinking about taking pictures and then making a collage of memories I could send to my family in the city… Snapping out of my thoughts I put the curry rice into a container, shoving it into my rucksack.
At the Church.
I see Cliff, miserable as ever just sitting there. Walking up to him I tried not to let his vibe get to me.
"Hey Cliff! I made you curry rice, like I promised!" I said as cheerfully as I could. His face instantly lit up!
"Thanks Claire, I love curry Rice!" He beamed… he didn't stutter.
"Haha, you're welcome. Glad you do, by the way… where's Carter?"
"Oh, he's in the confessional."
He shoves a spoon-full into his mouth, chews then swallowed.
"Claire, this is the best curry I've ever tasted!" Eyes wide in surprise.
"Wow, thanks Cliff, well I really like curry too, so I make it often. If you want… I could make it for you every day."
"No! I mean uh, aren't you busy? I shouldn't take up your time."
"Nah, don't worry about it, for now anyways. I just started my farm not much to do. Plus it's great to a have a lunch buddy from now on"
"Alright, how about I repay you by coming by and helping you out at your farm?"
"Sure I'd love that!"
That's how me and Cliff became the best of friends. He doesn't stutter any more plus he's more outgoing. I changed Cliff for the better and I'm glad I did. I should probably thank Ann, Otherwise I would have never bumped into him.
