Don't judge me but I do enjoy Harvest Moon games a lot, because they eat my time and take I enjoy making a profit and trading and… sometimes the bachelors are handsome… :3

For the record I've played both games mentioned in this and am using the names I gave my characters!

Tale of Two Towns: Claire

(It's mostly in Claire's point of view or third person, but there will be a point where Dirk's POV will happen)

Anyway! I hope you enjoy!

In Konohana the summer rain had just refreshed the crops and people's spirits as a new person joined them in their peaceful life. The new delivery-boy was looking up at the mountain somewhat regretting his choice of work but took a deep breath and began the trek up the mountain. On the other side in the live-stock centered town of Bluebell a farmer struggled to push her cows out of the barn to graze. She smiled up at the sky and looked around as her dog Jake greeted her happily running up as a lamb followed.

It was the first day of summer, and neither knew what the new season would bring.

(Claire)

I hurried down the mountain; it was still raining so I had to leave my horse back at the barn – I was not willing to risk another incident. A red flower caught my eye so I tried to carefully make my way down the slope to it, unfortunately becoming caked in mud while doing so. I sighed, feeling horrible that I had possibly ruined this outfit Rutger was so kind to give me but picked up the flower delicately and looked up at the slope… finding no way up.

"This is great…" As if being stuck in the rain wasn't bad enough, I was now stuck where bears could find me and covered in mud.

I heard something though, like feet squishing through the mud carefully. This was my only chance, I sucked in a breath and let out a cry for help it was embarrassing but I needed to get out of there. Someone looked down, it was hard to see with the rain beating down on my face they chuckled and asked how I managed to get down there.

A sassy part of me made them guess, but while they did so they made me sit there and wait, until they laughed once more and lowered a hand. I took it, and they managed to pull me up successfully without falling down with me. Although I was very grateful I remembered I needed to hurry and quickly set on my way again.

I made a quick turn before leaving still, only catching a glimpse of a feathered cap, "Thank you!" Then I ran off again.

Whoever they were, I hoped to find them later and properly thank them.
