Hello, I'm StarGirl06 and have been playing Story of Seasons and wanted to write a story for my character. She has my real name but I've changed it to Hayley for this story. I hope you like it.
I appreciate any type of criticism, be it positive or negative. I will take your opinions/advice and apply them to further chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own this game in anyway, especially the segments of game play I've used in some chapters. However, Hayley and any other differences in plot are mine.
New Town, New Life
1st Week - Spring
From the apartment window Hayley watched the crowds of people darting around to their jobs or other daily activities. Hayley used to be one of them.
Today the clock on the wall ticked louder as she waited for the taxi to arrive.
"Oak Tree Town, Please."
Hayley slid into the seat as the small instruction caused a flutter in her stomach. She'd had enough of the busy city life. She needed some peace so decided to take up the offer to be a farmer in a small country town.
"Here you go Miss, you've just got to go through the town depot there and up some steps," the driver motioned behind Hayley.
"Thank you," Hayley replied, turned around to take in her new home. She breathed in the warm fresh air and began to make her way to the town's Guild.
A lady in a elegent blue and white dress greeted her with a smile.
"Oh, you must be Miss Hayley," she chirped on her way round the counter. "It's lovely to meet you."
"And you," Hayley politely replied.
The lady smiled. "I'm Veronica. Your application really stood out from the others. Quite impressive to say the least. I reckon you'd fit right in."
Hayley had grown up with farmers blood. Her grandparents owned a farm which had been handed down to her parents. She wasn't totally new to the lifestyle which made this choice so much easier.
"Yes," Veronica snapped Hayley out of her mind. "Madam Eda wants to see you. She's a lovely elderly lady that lives up the mountain with years of knowledge behind her."
Hayley followed the lady outside and up another flight of stairs which led to dirt path.
Veronica came to a sudden stop and turned around. "The trail is steep so new comers can become tired. Tell me if you want a rest."
Eda glanced out her window and saw Veronica leading a young lady towards her house. She rushed out the best she could.
"Madam Eda, this is the new farmer Miss Hayley."
Over the course of the day Hayley became comfortable in Eda's company and grateful that she could stay as they waited for Veronica to finish sorting a farm out.
"It's time to get up," Eda's voice chimed every morning. "Time for training."
With Hayley's farm experience she didn't think the training was needed. However as Eda took her through each bit of knowledge, she learned new things from the experience.
The week was coming to an end. This meant Hayley was free to do whatever she wanted. As she skipped in to the kitchen a strong scent of turnips wafted up her nose.
Hayley slid onto the chair opposite Eda. "I think I'll go to town later, would you like me to pick anything up for you?"
Madam Eda shook her head. "No thanks dearie. I'm all stocked up. Eat up. Mrs Veronica mentioned that your farm is ready and will help you move in."
This is a short chapter, my other ones will be longer. I will try my best to update regularly. I have a lot of editing to do for this story but wanted to post a chapter as I'm new to this site.
