"What a night" muttered Claire.
She had just moved from the city to Forget-Me-Not Valley.
Claire got up from her bed and stretched.
"I hope I remember everything, Takakura gave me the basics in such a short amount of time."
She ate a bowl of cereal and threw on her blue overalls.
Finally she stepped outside to greet the day.
"Argh, the sun is so bright!"
She walked slowly to the barn where her cow waited.
"What would you like to name your cow" Takakura asked.
"Hmmm… I've got it!" Claire exclaimed.
"What is it?"
"Her name is Cow"
"Are you sure?"
"Yup"
"Aren't you creative" he muttered under his breath.
"I think Cow is a good name" Claire said to herself.She walked into the barn to hear a greeting moo.
"Aw, she's so cute"She gently pet Cow and milked her.
"Now how do I get her outside" she wondered aloud.
Then she remembered the red button, she ran out and hit it.
Soon Cow was a happy cow out in the pasture.
"Now what?""There are seeds that you can plant in the cabinet" Takakura said.
Claire walked to the cabinet and pulled out some tomato seeds.
Soon she had them planted in the field to the right of the chicken coop.
"I'm going to go look around town."
Soon she was exiting the farm and took a left.
"Claire, what do you want to name the farm?"
"New Moon" she said instantly.
"You're so strange, just like your father" he said softly.
"So this is the Goddess Spring" she said to herself.
She sat for a few hours just thinking then finally she looked at her watch.
"Oh no it's already seven?"
She ran back to the farm and let Cow inside.
"Well tomorrow I'll go explore the town more."
Claire decided she would walk to the bar and get a drink.
Looking up at the moon it was a waxing crescent.
"The moon is so pretty and yet it hides so many secrets" she said.
Halfway to the bar she heard the sound of feet running toward her.
"What in the world?" she thought.
Before she could turn around she was knocked over and the last thought to cross her mind was "Why does this always happen to me?" before she hit her head on the ground.
The footsteps were getting more distant as she was slowly engulfed in darkness.
Authors Note: I don't own Harvest Moon or any of the characters.
This is based on many Harvest Moons it has the calendar of Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life and the same basic town layout, I'll inform you of any changes and characters from other games will be introduced too.
Sorry for the slow start it gets better I promise.
Also this is my first Fan Fic so all comments are appreciated.
