Disclaimer: Hello everyone! As you know, I do not own Harvest Moon or its characters (although I wish I did).

Author's Note: Hi, guys! Paradi is here with a new story that I hope you will all enjoy. Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty with Word at the moment and using Google Docs to write up my stories so there will be editing in the future for these chapters and the newer chapters for How To Save A Life. Just be patient and enjoy the stories! c:


There was a lot that one could say about Molly Sophia Braun.

The first would be that no one ever referred to her as Molly Braun or Ms. Braun, it was always Molly Sophia Braun because nothing else could roll of the tongue quite right unless she introduced herself as "Just Molly like Madonna or Cher" with a half-smile on her face that people learned to love because they were sure that it would never be complete.

The second was that her personality could never be pinpointed whereas people could be identified as optimistic, pessimistic, realistic, and a slew of things. Her friends said was like an onion and needed to be peeled back for people to see her "true self" and that would just cause her to laugh, point out that they were quoting Shrek and saunter off to finish her errands around Bluebell.

The third and the most devastating was the mystery that surrounded her coming to Bluebell. She looked nothing like her parents, her violet-eyed and green-eyed parents clashed with her brown eyes and her hair was so much darker than theirs. Lillian with her straight, shoulder length light brown hair and Cam with his thick, blonde hair that fell relatively straight but was overall very messy underneath his hat. Molly didn't pale in the light of her parents with her big brown eyes and her hair that was an odd shade of auburn that some didn't believe was natural.

People could go on about how Molly Sophia Braun and how there was so many things that they could say, but would only give you three slightly descriptive things about her. It went on even after she left one evening with her father, going into the city to visit his parents like she did every Monday while her older brother stayed at home with their mother to take care of the farm that had recently been remodeled.

It was safe to say that she didn't go see her grandparents, her father had made sure that the arrangements had been made and persuaded her grandparents to go along with it if Lillian came questioning about her daughter's sudden disappearance. The boat would be waiting for her in the small harbor of the city, a place that Cam had loved as a child because of all the cats. Her bags had been packed and disguised for reasons because Lillian had always loved playing the detective when she saw suspicious activities going on.

They were greeted by Pascal, the captain of the ship with a pipe in between his lips while a smile spread out across his wrinkled face. A hand was stuck out and both Brauns shook it before exchanging a glance with one another before diving into the details of the voyage before saying their goodbyes. Pascal left them be, ordering two of his men to grab her things and take it to her room so that she could have a moment with her father.

Hugs were given, a couple of tears were shed and a kiss to the cheek and forehead sealed the deal as Cam walked away from the scene. Letting his daughter go and forge her own destiny after finding out the truth, a complete smile had crossed her face even though it was such a sad sight as she offered a wave when he turned around. It took her a moment to compose herself, inhaling sharply as she put on her game face and went up the ramp and onto the deck. Her father's soft words echoing in her head.

"Promise me, Molly. Promise me that you'll find them."


This chapter is short but I promise that the coming chapters will be much longer.

I hope that you guys take to this story as I did after the idea popped into my head.

I love you all and I hope you've been swell! If you have any questions, don't be scared to PM me and ask and we'll go from there.

xo,
