Farm Training
Summary: One-shot based on DS Cute. Jill had inherited her father's farm, but she was a lazy girl and didn't do anything about it. And then her mother asked the Harvest Goddess for a favor…
A/N: This is just a little background story I came up with for the main character in DS Cute. The setting is around the end of the Fall season.

Jill rolled her eyes as she lay in bed. This was the first time her mother had come to visit her in Forget-Me-Not Valley, and she was spending it hassling her daughter. She didn't understand why her mother was so furious about how she was living on the farm. It's not like she was a Farm Queen or anything, so why were expectations so high?
"Jill, are you listening to me?!" she asked angrily. "Your father practically worked himself to death for this farm, and now look at it! Why aren't you working on it?!"
The girl sighed. "Mom," she began calmly, "I've spent the last few years in school in the city. How do you expect me to do Daddy's job? I don't even know anything about farming."
"You're supposed to learn!" her exasperated mother exclaimed. "Mr. Takakura is next door! You can ask him for advice!"
Jill winced. She was a little scared of the elder neighbor. He just seemed so…strange.
"My Goddess, you're already an adult!" her mother continued. "You should be more motivated than thi - where do you think you're going?!"
"I'm going to the bar, I'll be back later."
"You'd better not -!" The door slammed before her mother could finish her threat, leaving her staring at the door in disbelief. She sighed. "Oh, Papa, what are we going to do with this girl?" She looked around the small house. "Oh, she's going to need help...I think I'll pray at the Harvest Goddess's pond…"

"Jill...Wake up, honey…"
'That's not Mom's voice…' Jill thought to herself sleepily as she turned to see who was in the room with her.
A tall, beautiful woman with green hair stood over her bed with a big grin on her face. Jill stared at her, not knowing what to think.
"Taa-daaa!" the woman exclaimed in a singsong voice. "I am the Harvest Goddess!"
Jill continued to stare. She was too dumbstruck to say anything.
"Your mother asked me to make sure you work with a passion on your farm!" the woman continued. "So that means…I will personally make sure you are well-trained in the art of farming!" She laughed and patted Jill on the head. "Lucky you!"
Jill's eye twitched as she tried to digest what was just said. When the words finally sunk in, she opened her mouth and screamed.
