Author's note: I'm taking a brake from FMA fanfiction, I got myself into a HUGE writers block. Anyway I decided to try my hand at another topic I love, Harvest Moon, and thus this story will be based on my gameplay, with a little writer's touch up. I like to write in Anime Format, which means there will be use of things such as sweatdrops and anger marks, and all the other good stuff anime is known for. So I hope you enjoy my story, and hopefully I don't get writers block on this one either.

Chapter 1
A New Life
Spring was close to arriving in the big city causing the weather to be warm and people to start coming outside more often. Spring was always a great time so many days you could go out, have a nice stroll, but to one individual, this wasn't an option very often. Her day consisted of nothing but sleep, eat, work, and rarely any play. That's just the way her life was, boring, and she didn't like it.
It was towards the end of the day, a young blonde haired woman walked up to the large apartment building before she began heading to the elevator. Kat lived on the seventeenth floor of the building, so far away from anyone else. Life was just too boring in this city, and she had no way out of her daily routines. She stepped off onto the floor, pulling her keys out to open her door and placed them in the lock, turning the knob to let herself in.
"I'm home!" She spoke with enthusiasm, but it was quickly lost when no one answered her call. "Ah, who am I kidding, I live alone." She sighed as she dropped her keys on the kitchen counter before heading to find leftover Chinese food in the fridge, she grabbing the disposable chop sticks and began to munch away, heading for her living room.
"I should have invested on getting a puppy or something. At least they are more loyal then men." Kat spoke as she turned on the television, then picked up the paper, looking it over as she stuffed more lo mien into her mouth. Her eyes skimmed over the classifies, looking at the pets, jobs, houses, but that's when something caught her eye.
"What's this? Want to live a more adventurous life? Tired of city living? Farming may be perfect for you, This farm house is surrounded by beautiful fields and is right next to the cozy little neighborhood called Mineral Town. Please call if interested in starting your new adventurous life." She read out loud to herself, fixated on the add before she let the paper fall from her hands, she looking up with a smile.
"Hey, I can live on a farm! I can raise some crops, take care of animals, and get that puppy I wanted!" Kat smiled more, picturing the animals she'd take care of, the crops she'd plant. "Heh, how hard can farming be anyway? I'll quit my job and move to Mineral Town! I'll make enough money selling my own products!"
She shot up from her seat on the couch, causing her food to spill onto the floor as she rushed to the phone, picking it up and looking to the paper to dial the number. She punched the numbers in, listening to the line as someone picked up.
"Yes, Hello? I'd like to buy that farm in the paper! Yes ... my name is..."

It was a week later, the first day of spring and Kat stood at the entrance of the farm, beside her a puppy ran out, barking as he ran to the field. Her enthusiasm had suddenly been drained away as she looked at the litter covered field. Rocks, twigs, stumps, almost over every inch of the field. Her expression looked blank as a sweatdrop rolled down the side of her head, but then she grabbed her hair as she ran around, screaming out.
"THIS ISN'T A FARM PARADISE! THIS PLACE IS CRAP!"
The shouting she caused got the attention of someone passing by, he looking to the farm's gate before he headed in, watching Kat run around trying to pull her hair out. The stout man tried to gain her attention, holding his hand out to stop her before she slammed into it, flipping backwards onto the ground.
"Oh! I'm sorry! Are the one who bought this farm?" He blinked as he spoke, looking down at the woman on the ground.
"Yes ... which obviously was a mistake." She grumbled, sitting up as she rubbed the back of her head. The man seemed to snicker a moment before he laughed a little, covering his mouth.
"Oh dear, you fell for it too... The realtors put all that stuff in the ad to get this farm to sell better, you were tricked. Most of the people who bought the farm left it for dead once they found out how bad it was. But no one has taken care of it ever since the old man that owned it before died."
"YOU MEAN I QUIT MY JOB AND CAME HERE JUST TO WORK TWICE AS HARD?" Kat exploded at him as she reached behind her, pulling out a huge hammer and hovering over him like a huge monster.
"WAAH! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU QUIT YOUR JOB! DON'T HIT ME!" He screamed, cowering as he prepared for the strike, and soon he was hit, getting sent up into the sky as Kat laughed in a maniacal tone and an anger mark pulsed on her forehead. Once he hit the ground again he turned over, swirls in his eyes.
"Now what am I going to do? I don't have nearly enough money to move back to the city!" She now whimpered, dropping the hammer as she then watched the man get up.
"You could ... always try running the farm. It needs a little work but I'm sure you can do it. What do you say?" He said, rubbing the lump on his head from the hammer. Kat thought a moment, looking down at the ground, then to the field before she sighed hanging her head.
"I don't have any other choice, so might as well."
"Perfect! If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask, okay? By the way, my name is Thomas, I'm the mayor of Mineral Town." Thomas smiled, but a sweatdrop formed as he stood his distance from her, out of fear of being hit again.
"Mayor? AH! I'm sorry! I had no idea you were the mayor! I'm sorry I hit you!" Kat freaked out, waving her hands about in an apologetic manner.
"Don't worry about it, you were angry, that's all." He spoke before nodding a little, heading towards the gate to head back into town. "You should rest today, tomorrow you can start out an introduce yourself to the town!"
"Yeah... I'll do that." She sighed, watching him head off before she looked down at the floppy eared puppy staring up at her. She then smiled, leaning down and patting his head as she closed her eyes in a look of happiness.
"We'll fix this farm right up, won't we Ken-ken?"
