This story was written for a friend of mine who has found herself falling in love with Rock from Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life. I had to ask her why on earth she picked him of the three bachelors, and this little drabble here sums it up. Please enjoy!


To be quite honest, even after all this time, she still had no idea why on earth she had fallen in love with Rock of all the people on that little island.

Maybe it was because of the fact that he was the one who had taught her to laugh a lot more often, especially when he was up to his usual antics and gags. He wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, but he had his moments, she had to admit.

Then again, maybe she'd also done it because of how much charm and charisma he possessed.

Even if he was the town goof, she couldn't help but admit that he knew how to talk to a girl and make her feel good. After the few dozen attempts to woo her were a failure, he started trying to get better at talking to her. He had improved, truthfully. Not a lot, but he was still learning.

Rock had proven himself to not be a hard worker in every aspect of the word. He didn't bother with getting a job, and he certainly seemed to spend his days lazing about without much of a care in the world.

At times, she questioned herself on whether or not marrying him had been the best decision.

She could have married Gustafa, the musical man who lived in the Yurt down the hill. He was kind enough, and they had even become friends before she had married. He had ultimately wound up marrying Nami and two lived peacefully with each other now. Perhaps she was still friends with him, yes, though she couldn't help but feel that Nami had gotten lucky with finding a man who at least did something more then sleep.

Celia was even luckier then that. Having a husband like Marlin around sounded even better, considering they at least shared a job together on Vesta's farm. Though the girl was sweet enough, she had to admit that her and Celia had never really been friends all that much. Marlin was a nice enough guy if you got to know him, but considering now how Celia sometimes held a controlling hand over him, she wouldn't have been surprised if he was back to his grumpy ways.

Which lead her right back to Rock.

Why did she marry the blond haired ditz?

She decided it was simply because he made her laugh.

And really, who wouldn't want a husband who could do that?
