A/N: Thanks to A.J. aka HarvestMoonAddict for posting the fantastic challenge. Read hers, it's amazing.
I'm writing Chase... because, as most who have read me know, he's my little obsession. I'm going to follow some elaborated ToT canon that I've equipped my other Chase storylines with that revolves around him moving to island when he was little and leaving it in the depths of its poverty before the new farmer arrived to revive it.
