December Sorrow

Author's note: This is my first serious fan fiction and I would love to hear what you think… I'm open for suggestions and they are much appreciated. This fan fiction is kind of a mix between Clannad (a very good show ) and Harvest Moon (an awesome game :D) I hope you like it...Please review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon or Clannad nor its characters or plot. AND I DO NOT MAKE ANY KIND OF PROFIT FROM THIS FAN FICTION!

Chapter 1: Cherry blossoms

No matter how many times we try to convince ourselves, reality is so excruciatingly apparent. And the reality is; nothing can remain the same.

I hate this city; it's filled with so many painful memories. The very same memories I hold dearly to my heart are the very ones that are tearing me apart. I hate this city…

I woke up with the sickening happy sun shining in my face. I groaned as I rolled out of bed. I could hear Aunt Mirabelle cooking breakfast and my cousin, Julia ranting about a shirt she saw in a magazine. I got ready for the day and went downstairs to eat… just like everyday.

"Good morning Vaughn, I cooked porridge!" I smiled slightly at my motherly and kind aunt. Mirabelle and Julia are the closest thing to family I have, not counting my father, if I could even call him that. I finished work early and decided to take a walk in the mountains. This was years before the humble island turned into a bustling city. The warm spring air blew the cherry blossoms everywhere, creating a beautiful and peaceful scene. Then out of the blue, I heard a small voice. "Curry bread!" Wait… curry bread? There before me stood a tiny, young girl. The breeze gently pushed her light brown hair behind her. She was talking to herself? No, she was speaking to someone from deep in her heart. "I miss you guys. I was very happy at home with you… but nothing can remain unchanged, even fun and happy things. I came here searching… searching for more happy times…" For some strange reason, I was compelled to talk to this strange girl. "Well that's all you can do. Find things worth living for." I really shouldn't be the one to preach such things. I lived a miserably empty life. I began to turn away, when the girl spoke up quietly. "My name is Chelsea. I'm the new farmer." I tipped my hat that was constantly on my silver-haired head and half smiled. "I'm Vaughn, the animal dealer."

And that was the moment my life began…
