Well, I said on my profile I was going to start a Velsea fic, so here it is! I have no idea if I'll get a positive reaction to Chelsea's character, buuuut I hope at least some of you like her!

Chelsea's POV

We walked at an ordinary pace down the wharf, hand in hand. Our fingers were intertwined, and we glanced behind us every thirty seconds to make sure we weren't being followed. An old, shabby boat eventually came into view. On the side were faded blue block letters that spelled Serene. Serene, my ass. That thing looked like it would break down at any second. I glanced at S- I mean… Vaughn, with repulsion; we weren't actually going to go on this thing, right? He stopped and stared at me with his purple orbs, while giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. I knew by his expression he was telling me to stop complaining, and that everything would be okay. I sighed in defeat, and we proceeded again towards a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard standing in front of the boat.

"You two are coming aboard to go to…" he glanced at his clipboard. "Sunshine Islands?" No. We're going to freaking Candy Land. …No, now's not the time for sarcasm. Remember, Chelsea. New life, new attitude. New life, new attitude. I nodded, forcing a cheeky grin.

"Names and proof of identification?"

"Chelsea Munstrone." Well, here we go. I handed him my passport and ticket, waiting for him to give me the okay. He scanned over them for what seemed like an eternity, and I was quickly losing patience. Can this guy hurry up already?

"Vaughn Weiss." I saw Vaughn stiffen as the guy glanced at his passport. He hid his nervousness, and kept his stoic glare.

He nodded, taking the tickets and moving aside. "Well then, have a safe trip." Yeah, I hope so.

We got on the deathtrap, and our luggage was taken away to be stored. Soon after, we departed from the wharf.

With each passing second, the city became more of a blur, and I felt a fresh wave a tears threatening to spill down my cheeks. The city was my home, and now I could never return to it. All I would have left are memories.

Now, I would have to spend the rest of my life in some happy-pappy, outdated, puny island. Seriously. Whoever came up with the name 'Sunshine Islands' should just go home. With living in the city, you never ran out of things to do. But what would I do in Sunshine Islands? Oh, lemme think; farm, eat, talk… That's all I can think of. Such a great life.

And then there's the whole farming issue…

Farming was definitely not in my life plan. Even as a little kid, I was never one for the outdoors, and now I'm being forced to become a farmer. Go figure. Just thinking about all the animals and crops I'll have to deal with; it's making me gag. At least I'll have Vaughn to help me out…

My thoughts were cut short by a pair of muscular arms wrapping around my waist. Vaughn rested his head on my shoulder, his breath tickling my ear.

"It's going to be okay, alright? From what my cousin Julia told me, Sunshine Islands is a great place." He must've noticed my foul mood.

"But what will I do for the rest of my life? Farm? Vaughn, I want to live my life! I have a bucket list!"

"Everything will be alright." He repeated. "I just want you to be safe, and this is the best option. I love you."

I sighed, knowing he was right. "I know, I know. I love you, too. And… Thank you… For protecting me. It'll be better since you're here with me." I smiled and he kissed me softly. We watched our home grow smaller and smaller in silence, until it was no longer visible.

Four hours later, we had docked at the islands. Luckily the boat hadn't sunk, and once Vaughn and I had gotten our things back, we walked down the gangplank onto the dock. I adjusted my red bandana, looking around slowly. The fresh air, the small buildings. It was all so foreign to me. And the roads; they weren't even legit roads. Just dirt paths.

Welcome to Sunshine Islands.

It's short. I know. But my previews are always short. I'll try to update soon. I'm pretty happy with this preview. I got it done pretty quickly. Regarding plot, I see a lot of Velsea fics in the Harvest Moon fandom, and they're practically all about the same thing. Chelsea comes to Sunshine Islands for some reason with her precious bandana, and meets the stoic animal dealer, Vaughn, who at first won't open up to her. They eventually start to become friends, which then blossoms into love. On the sidelines, an extremely jealous Sabrina tries to destroy their relationship, only to be beat up by Chelsea in a *cough* totally-non-crazy-fangirl-way *cough* in the end. Am I right? Um… but no offense or anything. Just making a point. I'm not trying to start riots. I tried to make it different by starting the story off with Chelsea and Vaughn already in a relationship. Tiny little details that I added in will be explained in later chapters. There'll also be major important flashbacks about what happened in the city, and how that ties in on why they're even coming to Sunshine Islands in the first place. Hope you all enjoyed this so far; please leave a review! They always make my day.
