(Author's Note: So I've decided to write a new multi-chapter story based on the hit TV series, The Little House on the Prairie. So this is pretty much a follow up after my little short story called "Cozy", along with some characters from Frozen and the Little House series. This multi-chapter story is based on the TV series, Season One Episode Three "Harvest of Friends". All characters are owned by their respected production companies. So sit back and enjoy this story! Also happy belated birthday karis-the-fangirl!)

Prologue
It was a bright and sunny summer day when young Anna Bjorgman had stepped on out of both her and her husband's old run down shack. Her heart was soaring at the thought of seeing her loved one talking business with a much older gentleman, named Mr. Edwards, farther on up the hill.
"Hmm," Anna gives her husband a curious glance, "I wonder what those two are talking about?"
She continued on walking towards their horses' feeding trough, until she saw the two men shake hands as if a business deal was made.
"Thank you Mr. Edwards," Anna's husband, Kristoff, smiled as he shook hands with his new friend, "for letting me purchase your old place, sir."
"Oh no don't thank me," Mr. Edwards let's out with a toothy grin, "thank Half-Pint and Almanzo for convincing me to sell it to ya and Anna."
"Well i guess so then." Kristoff chuckles at Mr. Edwards' words.
"Guess that I'll be seeing you two on Sunday?" Mr. Edwards had asked just before he left Kristoff.
"Oh yes." Kristoff had answered proudly.
"Well then," Mr. Edwards smirks as he walked on down the hill, "see you Sunday, Kristoff. Good day, Anna."
"Have a good day to you too, Mr. Edwards." Anna waves at the older gentleman just before he had left on his wagon.
"Well Mr. Edwards was sure nice enough to sell us his old place." Kristoff whispers into his wife's ears while he was wrapping his arms around her.
"You mean that we're home?" Anna beams on up at her husband.
"Yes Anna," he chuckles as she wraps her arms around his neck, "we're home."
"Oh Kristoff." Anna gives him a loving look, making him smile even more. "We're home!"
"Yes!" Kristoff cheers just before he gave his pretty little wife a kiss on the lips. "Say why don't we celebrate?"
"Well I do have some potatoes and rabbit stew cooking over the fire inside." Anna gives her love a childish grin as they walked on back into their small shack.
"I'll bring out the whiskey then." Kristoff adds while his wife went straight back into their little makeshift kitchen.
""Kristoff," Anna gives her husband a warning look, "you know how much I don't like the smell of alcohol. especially in this house."
"Alright Anna," Kristoff sighs in defeat, knowing that he wasn't going to win their argument, "no whiskey in this house then."
"Thank you." Anna smiles while her long black skirt was swaying along with her motions throughout their small kitchen. "So other than you getting this place for us, what did you talk to Mr. Edwards about?"
"Well I told him that I'm going to build a house," her husband answers, "and a farm for the both us to tend to. Then right after that, I'm going to get a field started for us so that we could grow some crops."
"Oh," Anna breaths as she blew on the spoon in her hand, "and do you think that you'll have the house done within the next few weeks or so?"
"Yes," Kristoff gives her a small smile as she was tasting the stew, "Mr. Edwards said that he'll loan me some lumber in exchange for some work at the mill in town."
"Mmm," Anna gives him a wink just as she removed the pot from the fireplace and had placed it on their small table, "well that sounds wonderful, Kristoff. Now let's eat before the stew gets cold."
"Yes ma'am." Kristoff smiles warmly as they both sat down at their small table.
"Kristoff," his young wife gave him a gentle squeeze on his hand, "can I tell you something?"
"Sure, Anna."
"I'm so glad that we're home." Anna sighs with him nodding in agreement.
For they both were so glad to be home.
