HELLO! You people (might) have been familiar with my first fanfic, which was a big comedy one. Don't worry, there'll still be more comedic ones, but this time I decided to do a slightly depressing one. Well, there is always a touch of humor. BUT it seems that the people prefer romance to comedy, so I decided, why not? Well, if you can't stand people being CHANGED then don't read this story. Remember, I warned you. Well, they're not changed to the point of drasticness, but one of the characters decides to go hardcore emo. SO YEAH. ON THAT NOTE WE SHALL BEGIN! Disclaimer: I do not own anything copyrighted. I still don't understand the whole thing with disclaimers….

"COME ON CHIRORI! Time for an adventure!" yelled Ari. Chirori, her golden squirrel, climbed up her arm, and settled on to Ari's shoulder. The Captain looked mentally disturbed. Well, the first girl wasn't quite normal, but now…. He took in the stranger's black dress shorts, gray button up t-shirt, white arm-warmers with gold lace, black fingerless gloves, and white headband with scrutiny. The people of Waffle Town were some odd folks, but this person beat them all on the weirdness scale. "HULLO GOOD SIR! My name is Arianna, but most people call me Ari, and who might you be?" she asked politely extending her arm. "I'm the Captain. Go back to Rune Factory, ya crazy nut!" yelled Old Captain. "WHAT?! WELL! I am not getting off this boat, till' we reach Waffle Town. GOOD DAY TO YOU, OLD MAN!" yelled Ari vehemently. "Now, why are you going to Waffle Town?" asked the Captain. "I am going to be a rancher, alongside my long lost cousin, Angela," said Ari. "Oh noes, they're relatives!" thought Captain.

Skip a couple months/seasons…. Now, it's Fall

Ari wasn't particularly interested in socializing, like her cousin, Angela. She was more into farming, tending to her live stock, and reviving the Harvest Goddess with the rainbows. That entire she did. All in a couple of months/seasons. So that is why, the only people she knew where her cousin Angela, Gill, and Mayor Fathead. Time to go exploring!

"Angela, I must ask a favor of you, I daresay. As you know, I have devoted my life to the storyline of Harvest Moon, and none of its characters, so I must say that it is time to meet the peoples!" said Ari. "Why?" asked Angela. "Because you can't beat the game without marrying someone first. And because I want to see Mr. Bluebird," said Ari. "I'm married, and you beat the game for me," said Angela. "Oh, whatever! I just want to see Mr. Bluebird. SEE! Even Chirori agrees," said Ari. "Chit, chit!" said Chirori. "HELLO! MIRACULOUS WIFE OF WHOM I LOVE!" said Owen, coming into the kitchen. Ari hid behind Angela. Ari was afraid of overly muscle people, and Owen was one of them. "OWEN! WASH THE DISHES! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE FRIGHTENING THE GUEST?!" screamed Angela. Owen sniffed and walked away. "OKAY! Time to finds you a man!" said Angela. "WHAT?! NOOOO!" screamed Ari.

Gill's POV

I am bored. No, really bored. Bored to the point that Father even tries to amuse me, fat old man he is. Is there anything that possibly goes on in this Harvestgodforsaken town?!

Chase's POV

Chase slowly snuck out, when Yolanda was on one of her nap breaks. He took the sushi knife with him. He stared at the clear, beautiful pond with little emotion. He grabbed the knife and slowly added to his collection of scars.

Chase's life sucked. Abandoned by his family at the age of six, he set off to a tiny island to make something out of his life. Lately, all he'd been focusing on was cooking. He had no friends. He knew Yolanda was teaching him just because the fat round Mayor asked her to, and because she had nothing better to do. He was frustrated with life. His cooking was growing lack. "You're not putting heart into it!" yelled Yolanda, repeatedly. Looks like he even screwed up the major love of his life, cooking food. So, if life was so painful now, why not end it? It was simple, although there were no guns in this town, he always had his good old trusty sushi knife. It would be a release from the pain. Chase thought about it. Give it two more seasons, if his life didn't improve by then, it was slicing time.

That last part wasn't as depressing as I thought it should've been…. I should've cut off the comedy, but oh wells. Now, you may be thinking that I did this fanfic cause' I'm such a big Chase fangirl. Wrong. Actually, I didn't like Chase at all, till I realized he liked oranges. And he isn't my favorite character by the way, but he's up there. I just felt like doing a Chase one cause he had that sushi knife. And cause I wanted to make someone all depressing and dark and emooish. :D SO YEAH.
