A/N:
Hey everyone! This is shadowed-wolfe! I decided to write a harvest moon: island of happiness fanfic! This will be pretty long, and the couple pairing will be unknown until further into the story. :) Some parts of this story will be based on my own version of the game. Please enjoy!
Summary:
Starting over on a new island, Chelsea tells of her life on said island. She writes about her actions, her feelings, through love, happiness, heartbreak, and friendship. This is her story.
As told by Chelsea
Chapter one: The Beginning
Spring 1, Year 1
6:03 am
This is it! I am leaving the city where I've grown up behind to start a new life. My plan? To arrive on the ship this afternoon that will take me to one of the many islands. There, I will start a new life.
Oops. I haven't even packed, though I doubt I will need much. A couple more hours to go. I can't wait!
I shut my journal and put my pen down. I had gotten a journal specifically for this trip, and I planned to write down my feelings, what I see, what I will go through starting my new life. It would be my own experiences…as told by Chelsea. Me.
On my back is my rucksack, holding only my bare necessities: a pen, my journal, and an apple to eat on the boat. When I talked about starting over, I really mean starting over. Completely.
The person in front of me continued onward, and I was allowed to step forward to come face to face with the captain. He had a wild beard, but kind and gentle eyes.
"Name?" he asked.
"Chelsea," I replied.
He looked at the clipboard in his hands, checked something off, wrote something in.
"Birthday?"
"Spring 7."
Once more, the captain checked something off and wrote something in.
"Alright," he said, nodding his head to inside the boat. "You may now board."
"Thank you," I said, and set foot inside the boat that would take me to my new life.
Spring 1, Year 1
9:10 pm
Well, this is it. The boat I am on is huge; and my room, too. Two beds, one person. I don't need this much space. I feel a bit awkward in this large space.
After everyone boarded, the captain announced that we were all set to sail soon. Soon, the boat started trailing along the deep, blue, ocean.
Then I checked out my room—huge, I found it to be—and went on deck to see the view. There, the captain announced, "What an exciting day! And look how fast we're going. We'll be there in no time!"
That was good news.
I yawned, and put my journal and pen in my rucksack. They were the only inhabitants of my rucksack now; I had eaten my apple earlier.
I'll shut my eyes for a few minutes, I thought to myself, and closed my eyes.
The sound and light woke me up. The sound was loud and it rumbled; the light was bright and it flashed—I could see it through my closed eyelids.
But then I was jolted awake out of my bed by the message that was suddenly announced by the captain: "What a storm! We're getting tossed around like a feather in a typhoon! All hands…er…hang on tight!"
Suddenly, the boat jerked to the right, and I was thrown off the bed, covers and all. I realized that I had drifted off to sleep in the clothes that I arrived on the boat wearing and had left the lights on when I fell asleep. However, the lights overhead was flashing on and off.
"And get those lifeboats ready! I've got a bad feeling about this…" The voice came out of nowhere.
Being forced out of my bed by the storm, I had hit my head on the table near my bed. I blinked, and reached over for my rucksack. I closed my fingers around the straps before hearing the loudest crack of thunder and lightning. Then…
Nothing.
A/N:
I'm so sorry that the first chapter is so short.
This story will be written in Chelsea's journal, and also in real life.
I will try to update soon!
Thanks for reading!
Please review!
