This is my second attempt at the 'transported to another world' theme, leaving behind my 'Radioactive Gloop and Chocolate Cake' as that was written while I was being seriously bullied and on the brink of depression. By seriously, I mean I could've gotten the police involved, but, yeah.

My inspiration came, as for most other people writing this kinda thing, from 'Stereotypical Confliction' by brookelynnftw, so there may be a few similarities. This time, I'm ditching the whole backstory, which I'll save for original writing.

It's still OC's though.

I don't own Harvest Moon, or any other franchise. If I did, everyone would realise I'm a romance fangirl and I would die of shame. XD

I may have messed up some personalities here, but hey.

Now that's out the way, on with the actual story!

It was summer. Alia White's most hated time of the year. As it was, she preferred to sit in her room with air conditioning, the curtains closed, as she played her Harvest Moon.

Currently, she was jumping around excitedly, holding a shiny new copy of Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, grinning wildly.

Rose walked into the room then, an evil smirk crossing her face at the scene before her.

"Planning to spend the whole day looking for romance in a virtual world?"

Alia's jubilations ceased, and she turned to her best friend, plotting exactly how she was going to kill Rose.

"S-Shut up, Crimson! Tell anyone and I'll murder you! W-With a dictionary!"

Despite the useful blackmail material, the rogue complied, her scarlet locks swishing past her waist as she surveyed the room.

Sea-blue walls contrasted with the orange floor, as usual. Plushes filled the wooden shelves, a Growlithe taking pride-most place, along with an Eevee and a Jirachi. Video games, a sapphire ocarina, and a stack of video games also accompanied the teddy bears. A widescreen TV, various consoles, and a bed with Sonic coverings were the only other things in the room, as it was really small. The thick orange curtains were closed, Rose Crimson noted.

"You must be a vampire, Alia! You really seem to hate sunlight."

"No I don't!"

Crimson gave her a trademark 'are you serious?' expression, then opened the curtains. Contradictory to her former statement, White hissed as the sunlight streamed in, pouting at Rose's triumphant grin. Everyone considered the girl a rouge and a rebel, and a rather large trouble-maker. At the moment, Alia would fully agree with that view.

"I'm going to need sunscreen now! I can get sunburnt just with the curtains open!" The light-sensitive girl moaned as she reached for the suncream she kept under her bed.

Rose's jaw dropped open, and probably would have hit the floor, if that had been physically possible. Suddenly, she burst out laughing, until she rolling on the floor, the tears streaming from her eyes.

"Are you SERIOUS! That's the funniest thing I've heard since you broke your leg trying to do a forward roll!"

"Don't remind me! I still can't do one, and I get teased in Gymnastics."

Crimson sighed, and held up a copy of Sunshine Islands, much to her friend's delight.

"Let's just play Harvest Moon, ok?"

"Alia, look at this!"

Rose sighed as she watched Alia, who had ALREADY found and rung four bells, and was just about to ring the fifth.

"How do you do that!"

White silently lifted up a box, with 'Wii Cheatz and Codez' written on it, and Crimson was annoyed for not seeing it coming.

"Come on, it's a new bachelor!"

"The bachelors in your game are all dweebs."

"No, really, come and look!" Rose insisted, so Alia finally walked over and peered over her shoulder.

"You actually have a point! But," she commented, looking at the conversation,

"He looks a little antisocial, don't you think?"

Rose rolled her eyes and giggled, nodding frantically.

"You have no idea!"

Ten minutes later, White's older sister, Amber Alexus, tumbled through the door, just as Alia smirked proudly at the conclusion of the main storyline of Animal Parade.

"Look, look! I got this magic crystal from Zephyr! He says all you have to do is find some rose perfume and spray it over the crystal, say a prayer, and something special will happen!"

White was amazed at just how gullible Amber could be sometimes. At 24, she should be a lot more mature than her younger counterpart, who was only 17. That definitely wasn't the case.

"What did you trade it for?"

"My silver charm bracelet and... your Sonic and The Black Knight game..."

Alia went pretty much beserk, grabbing a dictionary labelled 'Weapon' and chased Amber around the room, yelling crazily.

In the chaos, Amber put down the emerald-like gem on top of the two video game cases, and promptly managed to knock her sister's brand new bottle of rose perfume all over it.

"Alexus, you idiot! That costed six week's pocket money!"

White had a lot more to say, but was bowled over with the others as an explosion sounded, and ended up bashing into a wall, promptly falling unconcious.

Alia's POV

I groaned and opened my eyes. What the heck had just happened?

My vision was all blurry, and Rose, who I remembered had been beside me, was just a vague shape. I could tell, however, that there were a lot more shapes than there should be.

My vision cleared as a faint voice called my name, and not two, but SIX people were standing above me.

I almost fainted- AGAIN.

"Could someone BE anymore stupid!"

This remark was from a boy with peach hair and violet eyes. It was the three bobby pins that really triggered my memory. This was Chase, a sarcastic cook from Animal Parade!

Filing away my suprise for later, the next thing I saw was blue hair and a fiery bandana as a boy started yelling worridly. I would guess this was the carpenter's son, Luke.

The next face was unfamiliar, with blond hair and a cap, but Rose soon filled in the gaps.

"That's Mark, another farmer in Sunshine Islands!" she whispered to me.

Finally, I saw silver hair and a black hat. This person I knew. This was the antisocial cowboy, Vaughn.

I was panicking by this point, as my fuzzy mind had finally registered the fact I had fictional characters in my bedroom.
Anyone would!

"Erm... hi?"

I smiled akwardly and lifted myself up, watching as everyone looked around with bemused expressions.

"Does anyone know where we actually are?" Mark questioned, quite intelligantly.

"Welcome to Norfolk, in the awesome Fens! We think you came outta those video games!" Rose answered excitedly, motioning first to the three 'real' people, and then to the two video games.

"The land of eels, beaches, and really weird schools." I sighed, crossing my was, on top of the hottest day ever since 1974, a really weird day.

"Interesting..." Chase mocked, sneering at me. This boy was DEFINITELY going to get me truly angry. Only one person has ever seen me truly angry, and they ended up with a broken nose. Blood everywhere. It wasn't pretty.

"Just send us back." Vaughn groaned, speaking for the first time.

"Oh my Goddess, he actually speaks! Anyone would think you didn't have a voicebox, cowboy!"

"I can talk, you know."

"And this is a typical Thursday!" Chase cried, sarcasm evident.

Mark went over to split the two apart. Luke had meanwhile been jumping up and down, really hyper, yelling his head off.

Eventually we got to the introductions, and then the real question was posed, by Luke to my suprise.

"So, uh, how exactly do we get back?"

In the end we decided we'd have to try and make some rose perfume. However, this would take about two weeks, so we were sorting out where everyone would be staying, when my good friend Zephyr barged through the door.

"Yo, White! Uh, listen, I found these two guys in my living room, and I thought you might know who they are. They seem strangely familiar."

Behind him stood Bo, and with a cry of "Why am I in a human's house!" , the Harvest King flounced into view. I took one look, and then, finally, fainted.

Again.
