Harvest Moon Fanfic

Conflicting Love

PonyxMarlin

Chapter 1

Pony, she is a newcomer to Forget-Me-Not Valley. I'm not really that close to her, so I don't know that much about her. Why should I care, anyway?

"Marlin, go greet Pony."

"Vesta, I don't want to. Why should I go greet her? I don't care about her at all."

"It'll make her feel more welcome to the valley. Just go."

"Yes, I think you should go," said Celia.

"Ok, Celia. I'll do it for you."

"Ok. I need to tell you something when you come back, ok?"

"Ok."

"So, you suddenly became happy when Celia told you to, huh?"

"That isn't it Vesta! I'm leaving!"

So I reluctantly went to Pony's house. It's really close to mine, so I went there. Then I knocked. A girl with a ponytail and an orange and white t-shirt greeted me.

"Hello. Who are you?"

"Marlin."

"That's a very nice name."

"I noticed."

"Uh…."

"OK, so I'll be leaving now."

"Wait!"

Pony tripped and fell into my arms.

"Uh, Pony?"

Pony's face became flustered.

"I tripped, I-I"

"I'm going home now."

"How do you know my name anyway?"

"Vesta told me. Well, bye."

I went home, embarrassed about what just happened.

"Oh, Marlin! You're back! Let's go somewhere private so I can tell you something."

"Uh, OK."

Celia took me to Mineral Town and we went to a restaurant in Doug's Inn.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"I want to give you something. 2 things, actually."

Celia blushed and gave me a bag filled with sweetened crops from our farm.

"Th-Thanks."

I blushed and she blushed even redder than before.

When I was about to go to the bathroom, she got up and hugged me.

"Marlin, I-I got a job offering at a farm in Flower Bud Village . And I…"

"What?!"

"I need to give you something."

Celia handed me a blue feather.

"A blue feather?! You mean you want to get married?"

"Yes. If we're married I can go where ever I want, with you by my side. I love you Marlin."

"Celia, I can't accept this or come with you. I have to help out at the farm."

"But I love you!"

"I… I'm sorry. But I don't love you back."

I dropped the blue feather.

"Fine. If that's how you feel, I'm going without you."

Celia left and went on the boat to America. I tried to stop her, but she pushed me into the ocean.

"Celia! Wait!"

But by then she had already been deep in the ocean.

I felt so stupid.

5 years later Pony and I had gotten very close.

She works on Vesta Farm now.

Although me and Pony had been very close, I still kept the crops Celia gave me. Looking at the bag gave me hope.
