A/N:So yeah this is my first time trying out writing for the Harvest Moon fandom, after much lurking around here and finding that most of the fics were Graire(Seriously though why?? They're not even that great a couple if you think about it.) I decided to try my hand out in writing, only this time I'm making it a Doclaire fic!! Yep that's right, and as you will soon see though that this isn't your average Doclaire fic, I'm making Claire a little bit different in this fic, as you shall soon see. After all Claire is supposed to be the reflection of the player so that's what I'm making her, and no this isn't your traditional self-insert because she'll still have all my faults and actually barely any talents, but I hope you'll still continue to root for her!! Anyway's this is the short introductory prolouge so enjoy!!^^
Disclaimer:Harvest Moon does not belong to me, but to Natsume.

So how did a sweet normal, innocent girl like me get suckered into farming a dump?? Well let's just say it all started last week, all thanks to a stupid television commercial.

Flashback
"Tired of city life?? Tired of the hustle and bustle, and the traffic?? How about trying out the country life for a change?? With our relaxing peaceful farm, you'll wish you came here sooner!! For a limited time only, Mineral Town's farm is now available for purchase, come live the farming life!! Play and raise animals, go down by the rivers and fish to your heart's content, grow delicious crops and then either eat em or ship em. And last but not least, dig your way through the Mineral Town mines and uncover rare and exotic jewels and treasures, which you can sell for a fortune!! It's all waiting for you, right here in Mineral Town, come and enjoy nature's beauty. Do YOU have what it takes to be a farmer?? To make arrangements please call us at 1800-***-*** or contact Mineral Town's Mayor Thomas for more details.''
As soon as I heard that ad, dollar signs began appearing in my head. And since I could never resist the sweet smell of money, well let's just say it took me only two seconds to dash over to my phone and call the number.
"Oh boy, exotic tresures and fortunes here I come!! Finally, finally I'll be rich, richer than the richest person on earth…. whoever that is. Heh-Heh, I've hit paydirt, it's my lucky day today!! So long humdrum city life, hello farm life!! I'm riding out of here, country-gal style!!'' Was all I could think of in that moment, sadly though I was about to realize it was the biggest mistake of my life. The big question I should of asked myself back then was, how did I get so unlucky?? Because little did I know that by making that phone-call I would be complicating my life in ways I've never dreamed possible.
And so with that phone call begins the story of moi, the story of Claire. Who by fate or trickery was pulled into the complicated, mess that is the very UNpeaceful Mineral Town. Join me as I delve deep into the dillemas of the crazy townspeople, get sucked into village gossip, BECOME a target of village gossip, make the greatest friends I've ever had,(and enemies.) and most importantly…. Get tangled up in a love triangle of epic proportions, oh yeah while still trying to do some farming on the side.
Translation: DEFENITLY. NOT. WHAT. I. WAS. PLANNING!!
Seriously, I mean I didn't sign up to being put into a loony-bin town of nut jobs!! Why, why, WHY did I have to stay home and watch TV that day?? I should have just gone out to my job instead of being a lazy-ass and calling in sick that day and lounging around, now look where my laziness got me!!
Stuck in Hicksville with a drama-filled cast. Hopefully the director (or mayor or whatever his title is.) will call cut before some serious fighting takes place, because I think it's getting to the point where one of us is about to snap!!
Well maybe if I just try being optimistic, this story will have a happy ending right…. Yeah, and my one measly cow that I have will fly over the moon!!
Hey wait a minute, where have I heard that before??

A/N:Yep so this is the prolouge, and the first chapter should be up right about now. As you can see, already that the image that I'm going for Claire in this fic is a very sarcastic, not so nice, slightly psychotic girl. Because honestly I can't stand all the sugary-sweet perfect Mary-Sue Claires/Farmgirls that I've been seeing around here lately that just make Claire into this perfect little princess and demonize the rival. Well in my fic, the rival will be most certainly demonized but it will mostly be all in the mind of poor deranged Claire. Yeah this is kind of the Anti-Claire, suck on that Mary-Sue writers!!!! Yeah anyways in addition to that instead of just romance and nothing else, this fic will also delve deep into the problems of the villagers and even a huge side-story concerning May's paternity. So please keep reading and don't forget to review!!!!
