Okay, new story go! Note for those familiar with the game: all major cutscenes and general feeling during these cutscenes will be maintained, but the actual wording may be changed slightly. This starts from Kyle's POV and for a few chapters it's the buildup to the second generation. I'm obviously supplementing this part because the first generation was basically a freeplay, so a lot will be added.
Just so you know, I'm gonna follow the general story, but I AM going to have both Aria and Aaron as twins. Like in my other FF, it will be dual-viewed once it gets to them.

I do not know who I am or where I came from. I only know that I have been wandering, searching for…something. But this town…could this place be what I've been looking for?
I stumbled forward into the town, into an area covered by cherry blossom petals. A large tree to my left seemed to be the source of these blossoms, and I walked toward it. I stood there, trying my hardest to remember my name, my purpose, even a simple memory. I heard footsteps behind me, and turned quickly. I saw a girl around my age standing there, looking at me, slightly confused.
"Hello there. You don't look familiar…are you just passing through?"
I fumbled with what I was saying, fighting a flush that came from my embarrassment at my memory loss. "Um…I guess so. What is the name of this place?"
"This is Cherry Blossom Square of Alvarna."
We stood there for a moment, silent. A breeze picked up and more cherry blossom petals fell around us. I turned and looked at the tree, and decided to break the awkward silence. "So beautiful…"
The girl giggled behind me. I turned and saw she was blushing. I stammered out "Oh, I meant the blossoms" as she said "Do you really think so?" I saw the look in her face and corrected, "Don't get me wrong, you're pretty too…"
She laughed and responded, "Thanks. Anyway, this tree is one of the reasons I love living here."
"Yeah, I could definitely get used to living he—" I broke off when the ground rumbled. Earthquake! I thought, instinctively dropping to the ground. "Come over here quick…!" I realized I didn't know her name.
She ran over to where I was kneeling. "My name's Mana!" she shouted. I wrapped my arms around her to protect her and soon the earthquake ended. Thank god the cherry blossom tree had strong roots. However, I had other things to worry about when…
"Mana! I won't let you marry this man!" A burly, strong man stood near us, his face nearly purple.
"Dad! What are you talking about? Marriage? I don't even know this man!"
"Don't try to play innocent, Mana. I heard you guys talking about love and beauty and then I saw you guys hugging just now."
I knew I needed to fix this, so I piped up, "Sir, we were talking about the cherry blossoms. Then the earthquake started so I was just making sure nothing fell on her. I promise, this is our first time meeting and I didn't ask her to marry me or anything…"
After a few minutes, the man sighed. "Of course you didn't, kiddo. I'm right sorry about that, I'm just so dern protective of my Mana."
Mana spoke up at this, too. "I'm terribly sorry about my father. His name's Douglas and I already told your my name. What's yours?"
Great, the question I had hoped they wouldn't ask. Let's see… "Oh, um, I don't know how to put this, but, um, I don't know. In fact, I don't remember anything about myself." I winced and expected the laughing to commence.
Instead, Mana's face grew even more concerned and she said, "Don't remember anything? That's not good."
"Yeah, but I felt something drawing me to this town."
"I'm glad you ended up here. And in terms of your memory…well, everyone needs a name. How about you pick one now?"
I pondered for a brief moment and responded "Kyle."
Mana giggled again—my heart skipped a beat at it—and said "Kyle, I like it! It has a nice ring to it. So Kyle, I guess you don't have anywhere to stay, right? My dad and I own an unused ranch just outside town, but we are too busy running our store to manage it. Maybe you could live there for a while until your memory comes back?"
I was taken aback at this, and opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I took a deep breath and tried again. "Thanks, but I don't want to impose or anything."
Douglas chuckled and said "Nonsense, kiddo. We run the Pumpkin General Store inside town, and buying seeds and such from us will help us out too. And plus, with your crops, the whole town will have fresh produce that we haven't had in years."
Wow, an offer hard to refuse. "Well, when you put it that way, there's no way I could say no!"
Douglas clapped me on the shoulder and Mana cheered. "This way, Kyle." Mana led me through Cherry Blossom Square and towards the ranch.
All right, basically follows the game so far (for those who have played it). For those who haven't played this amazing game, I recommend it wholly. Though if you don't want the game ruined you should play it first, or vice versa if you don't want this story ruined. Haha. So, reviews are nice, as always. I will mosly be alternating updates to this with my other FF, which I hope you guys will read. So long!
