****Disclaimers ****I do not own harvest moon!!!

I sat in the village square. Unsure of where I could go. I came here to Waffle town so I could accomplish something. But what? What could I possibly do in this little town? I have no home. I don't know anyone. Alone. That's how I felt. Alone in a strange place.

"Excuse me?" An arrogant voice asked. "Who are you?"

I looked up. A young man looked at me. He held a book and wore a blue vest. "Oh, um. My name is Brooke." I said.

"Hmm. A new comer." The boy said scratching his chin. "Follow me." He started walking out of the square.

"Wha!?Wait!" I said scrambling up from the bench. "What's your name?" I asked when I caught up with the bleach blonde.

"Gill." He said simply." This is the Inn. You can stay here for one night." He said then walked away.

"Huh?" I asked after him.

"Go in and tell the owner."

"How am I suppose to know who the owner is!?"

"It's not hard. Just ask." Before I could question Gil anymore He was out of sight. I was nervous. I wasn't good around strangers. They have to talk to me before I will even speak. I guess you would say I'm extremely… shy. Although after I get to know them. I'll perk up, a lot.

I pushed open a door and a young girl with blond hair and a skimpy cowgirl's outfit greeted me.

"Welcome to the Sundae Inn! I'm Kathy! Would you like to have something to eat?" She asked. She held a few drinks… a water and a beer

"Um, No thank you. " I said.

"I haven't seen you around here before. What's your name?" Her voice had quieted down.

"Brooke."

"Where do you live?" Kathy asked. She was curios now.

"I have no home here yet." When I said that, her mouth dropped.

"You can stay here. On the house."

"Are you the owner?" I asked surprised at her generosity.

"Nope." She said walking over to a table and Placing a water in front of a white haired man, I didn't know him, and placing a beer infront of an Old guy, Pascal the boat captain. Kathy walked back over to me. "I'm sure Yolanda and Jake wouldn't mind. Jake owns it and Yolanda is the chief and Jake's mother.

"A-Are you sure!?" I asked unsure if I should take Kathy's gesture.

"Sure." She said walking to the, what I thought, was the kitchen. She poked back out and said. "Head on up. You can stay in room 1." Then she disappeard back to do her work.

It was late and I didn't argue anymore. I walked upstairs and into the first room. The door had a 1 on it. I laid down on the bed and snuggled into the soft blankets.

"What now…?" I asked myself. I dosed off quickly after asking myself that question…

I woke up about 6. I heard rustling down stairs. I got up and combed my hair. My brown, shoulder length hair had a cow lick that could never be controlled. I groaned after I finished fighting with it. I walked down stairs and a girl in a short pink dress with a white apron greeted me. "Hello! I have never seen you before." She said then extending her hand. "I'm Maya." She said smiling.

"Brooke." I said shaking her hand. She had red-orange hair that was put into pig-tails.

"Okay well I have a favor to ask of you, Brooke." She said smiling.

"W-What is it?" I asked. I just met this girl and now she's asking me to do something for her?

"Will you go to the carpenter's for me and ask them to build a house in the Maple Lake district?" She asked.

"I-I don't know where the Carpenter's is located." I said "Otherwise, sure I'll ask them. "

"Great and their house is located in the Ganache Mine District. "

"Thank you Maya. I guess I will head there now. And if you don't mind me asking. Who is the house for?"

"My grandmother's apprentice. Chase. "She cupped her hands together "He is gorgeous!!"

I giggled, waved to Maya and Left the Inn to go and deliver the request.

As I walked to the Ganache Mine district, I had found a directory map, I could help but wonder why Maya said this guy Chase was…. Gorgeous.

I walked passed what seemed like a mine. I guy with russet brown hair stood outside with a little girl who had blond hair. The girl spotted me and ran to me. The boy followed.

"And who are you?" She asked, sort of snotty.

"B-Brooke." I said "And you?"

The guy spoke "I'm Owen and this is Chloe."

"I can speak for myself bother. I'm gonna go hunt for some wonderfuls." She said turning around and running into the mine.

"Sorry about her." Owen said rubbing the back of his head. I looked at his embarrassed face…. Was he blushing?

"It's no problem." I said I turned to continue my chore.

"Wait." He said running to me.

"Hmm?"

"Where are you headed?"

"The carpenters. " I said continuing to walk.

"I see. Well, see you around." He waved and walked back to the mine.

"See ya." I said I looked ahead and I saw a building that said Dale's carpentry. I walked in and a boy met me. How many boys that seem my age are there around here? I complained in my head.

"I'm Luke! " He said extending his hand. He had gold eyes, a bright white smile, dark blue hair, and muscles.

"I-I'm Brooke." I said. I looked around and a man with the same colored blue hair walked over to where Luke and I stood.

"What do you need?" He asked me.

"Maya sent me here to ask you to build a house for Yolanda's apprentice, Chase." I explained.

"Okay, I know what you're talking about. Tell her it will be done in two days." Dale said walking to the door. "Luke." He commanded and left.

" Sorry about how grouchy he is. I'll talk with you later. Okay?" A smile was stretched across his face. I had to admit, It was cute.

"Okay." I said with a nod. We walked outside together. He met with his dad outside the shop and I walked back to the Inn.

When I got in Maya greeted me. "So?" He asked.

"It will be done in 2 days." I said grinning.

"Oh no good!" She complained.

"Huh?" I asked…. Dumbfounded.

"He's coming toda-" The bell rang as someone walked through the front door.

A boy, maybe a year older than me , walked through. He looked stressed or mad. He had orange-red hair but it was slightly darker than Maya's. I take it this was Chase.

Maya scurried over to him. I stood there. Alone. But I heard everything she said to him…

"Chase!" Maya squealed.

"Maya…" Chase mumbled.

"You're here!" She was a thrilled but Chase didn't seem to care.

"Who's the brunette?" He asked her. I turned to look at him. His violet eyes stared at me. I felt my face getting hotter and hotter.

"Oh that's Brooke. She'll be leaving soon." Maya said walking over to me. "Leave." She said in my ear. I was shocked. Why would she say that?

"What?" I asked.

"Did you not here? Leave. Go back to your home."

"M-Maya?" Chase asked. He walked over to where Maya and I stood. He paid no attention to Maya. He only looked at me.

"I'm Chase." He said to me then he glanced at Maya. "Don't you have work to do?" He demanded. When he introduced himself he said it sweetly. But when he spoke to Maya. He was mean…

"But-" Maya tried to argue but Chase walked away to the kitchen area. Maya chased after him. I sat down at the table in the back corner. Kathy came running up to me.

"B… Brooke." She huffed.

"What is it Kathy?" I asked.

"Mayor Herbal wants to see you in the Town square." She said. Then Kathy looked at me. "Somethin' wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I'll see you later, 'k?"

"Okay." She said hesitantly and heading back outside. I stood up and walked outside. I walked up the steps that were to the right of the inn and saw a plump man with white hair that swirled up on his head.

"Hello Brooke!" He yelled at me.

"H-Hi." I said walking over to him. He sat on the far right bench.

"I'm mayor Herbal, as Kathy told you."

"And I'm Brooke." I said smiling hesitantly.

He laughed an old man's laugh then told me "I have a home ready for you. Luke and Dale worked all night on it for you. "

"W-What!? Really?" I said surpised. I had just met them both today, and last night they were building me a home.

"Oh yes really." Then he waved toward the town hall and Gill came out.

"Father." He said.

"Father?" I thought.

"Show here to her home area please and explain what she can do."

"What I can do?" I questioned.

"Oh yes yes, Now get going so she can get settled." Herbal motioned.

Gill put his hand on the small of my back. And pushed me down the stairs, out of Waffle Town.

"So where is it?" I asked him as we walked into the Caramel District.

"Here." He pointed to a small house that over looked a rugged old field.

"A-A farm?" I stuttered out.

"Something wrong?" Gill asked me.

"N-No. " I sniffled.

"Are you crying!?" He asked surprised.

"I'm happy. I have always wanted to run a farm."

"Well, Don't cry. Any way. Just go inside and get settled. Tomorrow you have a lot of work to do. Tilling, seeding, and ordering a coop or barn. "

"But I'm broke?!" I said. Gill tossed me a few bags of turnips.

"Start with those." He said and walked off.

"O-Okay." I said then I walked into my house. A kitchen was in the corner. I large wood table sat in the middle of the room and a bed was in another corner. A tool box was beside the bed. I ran to it and found tools. They were old and rusty, but they would get the job done.

I looked at my watch and it was only 2 in the afternoon. I picked up the hammer and hoe and ran outside.

I looked over my field.

"Ugh, this will take forever!" I complained. I walked over to a bunch of rocks and busted them up. The shoved them away. The I tilled the hard soil.

"Nothing can grow here!" I said hoeing as hard as I could.

"Need help?" A females voice asked me.

"Kathy?" I said looking over to her.

"Hey!" She said jogging over to me, she took the hammer and took off to the other side of the field.

"Kathy, you don't have to help me." I said when I had finally finished tilling a good deal of the field.

"Yea, Well, I want to."

"I don't have any money to pay you." I said looking down at my feet.

"All you have to do is tell me what was wrong with you earlier. Chase?" She guessed.

"Kathy! No way." I said throwing my hands in the air.

She laughed. "Sure Sure. Well, Maya's all over him. Allways been that way. Since they were little. Chase left last year to go to school. Now that he's back, you'll never see him alone. Maya will be glued to his side." Kathy shook her head back and forth.

"Well, I don't care." I said planting my 3 bags of turnips.

Kathy ran inside to the tool box and grabbed the watering can. Then filled it up at the well.

She walked over and doused me and the turnips.

"Hey!" I complained. She just continued to water the plants.

"Brooke, don't go for Chase okay." She said. Kathy had quieted down.

"Okay."I said. Kathy had flew herself at me.

"Well I have to go." She piled the tools up against the house.

"Thanks Kathy." I said waving to her.

"No problem!" She said as she ran down the path to start her shift at the inn.

I walked inside and shut the door. It's been a good day. I ran over to the bathroom and took a shower.

Once I was out I got dressed into my Cow pajamas. I flopped down on my bed and stared out the window that was beside it. "Tomorrow means more work." I said with a sigh. I laid down and fell asleep. Eger to start another day in Waffle Town.
