Hi. This is my first story ever published on this site. It took me a lot of willpower to do so since I didn't have the confidence to post any of my works that other people could see...but, I'm open to any criticism..constructive criticism that is. Anyway, before I rant on...I hope you enjoy this. I'm not yet done with it. I'm basing it on how you guys accept my work..so please, read and review. I'd really appreciate it a lot.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon and any of these characters. Not even the cover image is mine. Am I allowed to say that? Well, just being honest...

Cam's POV

It was supposed to be an ordinary, lovely spring day. My day was planned out well. I'd have breakfast with Howard and Laney at Howard's Café , check out my flowers and pamper them a little, and then set out for the mountain. Things were going out quite well. I mean, Bluebell is such a peaceful town we didn't even need any patrol officer to keep us secure. And apart from that, every single thing or event happens in a routine that well, if not for the warmth that emanates from the villagers, everything feels too robotic.

I'm in no position to complain though. I guess that's what I wanted, the reason why I chose to live in Bluebell. I wanted to escape from the chaotic life in the city. But sometimes, there's this lingering feeling in my core that's longing for the variety and for the unpredictability you only get from the city.

I guess it was because of this thought that I got too carried away and didn't realize that I had strayed too far into the mountain than where I normally used to go to. I never really went into the mid – mountain part of Bluebell, well, I guess sometimes when I feel like I wanted to explore much but today, I got too far and reached the high – mountain part. I don't even know why my feet dragged me there. I guess I was fated to be there…

Lillian's POV

It was a very bright and sunny morning. I was enjoying the scent of the forest. It was very different from the polluted air in the city. Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel positive about this big decision that I just made. I can understand why my friends objected to what I decided to do with my life though. I was almost at the peak of my career in the city. They said that after a few more months of hard work I would be the top sales executive in the company. But the stress just ate me out and I felt like what I was doing was just what other people wanted me to do. I felt like I was working my ass out for other people's happiness and not mine. I decided to stop, take a breather and decide what I really wanted to do the most…and I guess where I really wanted to be.

Back in the city, I was surrounded by people. I know they all mean well, but in the kind of industry I was in, everyone seemed superficial. It seemed as if they notice you because of what they can get from you. It was suffocating. I felt lonely and alone. Sure enough, I got some awards. I was highly praised by my critique but underneath all of that, I felt like I'm a robot. I do what they want me to do. I change what they think is not good for me. I act as the person they want me to be…and not as the person that I really am.

I took a deep sigh as I thought of what my life had been in the city. I chased those thoughts away from my mind because I don't want to put a damper on my first day in this lovely place. There were many wild animals about and around and even if they're scampering away from the sound of my wagon approaching, I knew in the end we will be friends and I'm really looking forward to it. So much.
