Wow I had a great time making this long chapter. Sorry about how long it is!

Thanks to omniXenderman for suggesting that I write a fanfic about Rune Factory 4! I hope that most of the personalities are still the same from the actual game! That's what I tried to do!

Enjoy, and please review!

Chapter 1: Transfer Student Ailan

"You must be Ailan, correct?" The principal stood before Ailan, looking over her attire. She had given her the school uniform, and Ailan was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

"Yes that's my name. And you are…?" Ailan asked her.

"Ventuswill. You may call me Venti for short…But I am Principal Ventuswill." Ailan nodded her head. Venti had long green hair with blue tips. Her eyes were sharp, and seemed to bore into Ailan. After a few more instructions, Venti sent Ailan on her way. Ailan had only just walked out of the door when a girl popped up in front of her.

"Hi there!" she greeted Ailan with a smile. She then proceeded to look over her green hair in two ponytails and examine how she looked in the school uniform. Ailan, in the meantime, looked at her long, creamy hair. Two long parts of it were tied with some black ribbon, and the two ones in the front were looped and secured with elaborate clips.

"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself! I'm Margaret!" the girl held out her hand. Ailan laughed and shook it.

"I'm Ailan. I'm new here. So you must be one of the students in my classes?" she asked hopefully.

"Yup! There's only a few students here, but that's because it's an especially private school! Or so Kiel says," Margaret gave a laugh. She then grabbed Ailan's hand and dragged her through the hallways. Ailan had no choice but to follow her down the maze of corridors.

Finally, the two found the homeroom, and Margaret burst through with gusto.

"We have a new student!" she cheered dramatically. Everyone looked up from their desks, and all of them cheered as well. Ailan gave an embarrassed smile, but inside she was happy. They all like me! I'm so glad! Margaret showed Ailan her desk, and Ailan sat down quietly. The people around her gave her stares.

Suddenly, a girl with short green hair jumped up in a surprise scare, "Hallo!"

"Ahh!" Ailan almost fell out of her chair from the scare. She quickly regained her composure and sat up straight.

"I'm sorry! I only meant it for fun!" the girl with green hair exclaimed.

"No no it's fine!" Ailan shook her head. The girl with green hair smiled.

"I'm Amber!" she giggled.

"Ailan," Ailan responded politely back. Amber had this happy energy that Ailan found cute. The next one to introduce themselves was a girl with two long, purple braids. When she was near Ailan, she closed her eyes. Ailan waited for an introduction, but the girl suddenly started to snore.

"Whoa! Wake up!" Ailan panicked. The girl shook her head and gave an apologetic smile.

"I'm Clorica…Sorry about that…But I have a tendency to sleep…" and Clorica was gone again. Margaret gently moved Clorica back to her seat and sighed.

"Honestly…That girl can sleep!" she laughed. Next one to come up was a blonde girl. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail.

"I'm Forte," she said. She was pretty serious, and seemed like a hard worker. But after introducing herself, she quickly ran to the back of the room for something. Two more girls came up to Ailan. The one with short, gray hair tied with a Panda introduced herself first.

"I'm Xiao Pai. Glad to have you here!" The girl backed up, and managed to trip over a chair leg, sending her sprawling onto the floor. Margaret and Amber quickly went to help her up. The next girl had pink hair in two ponytails and a top hat. Her eyes were indifferent, and showed no emotion.

"Dolly!" A smaller girl with a pointy hat raced up. She had long wavy purple hair and a happy grin on her face. Dolly, the girl with pink hair, sighed.

"This is Pico. My name is actually Dolce. Don't listen to her," Dolce gave another sigh as Pico tackled her.

"I'm Ailan," Ailan responded back. Dolce walked off with Pico still grasping onto her waist. That's when Forte then came back with several boys in tow.

"You all should be ashamed of yourselves! Hiding from the new transfer student!" They all blushed sheepishly and looked away. Ailan decided to do the first introduction.

"I'm Ailan, nice to meet you all!" The boys continued to get redder, almost as if they were too shy to speak up. Then a boy with straight blonde hair stepped forward.

"My name is Arthur. I am the Class President." He bowed his head. Ailan gave a smile as he pushed up his glasses in embarrassment. Next was a boy with long, light blue hair going down one shoulder.

"I'm Vishnal!" he also bowed. Ailan nodded her head to this, and Vishnal had almost the same reaction as Arthur. A red-head suddenly stepped into her vision.

"I'm Doug!" he said as fast as he could. Then he turned around and stalked off. Ailan's questioning gaze followed him, but she said nothing. Then another boy came up. He had long, light blue hair and was carrying a fan with him.

"Hello Beautiful! I'm Leon!" he grinned. Ailan was taken aback by the sudden compliment that she blushed. Forte then dragged him off without warning.

"THERE IS NO HITTING ON THE NEW STUDENT!" she yelled as she dragged him off. Leon begged and pleaded for his life, but to no avail. Forte had dragged him out of the classroom. Ailan gave a confused grin.

"Hi I'm Kiel!" a young boy suddenly popped up in front of her. His messy blonde hair complimented his cute grin on his face. Finally, the last boy stepped up.

"I'm Dylas." Plain and simple, he said nothing more and walked to his seat, which happened to be behind Ailan. Next to her right was Margaret, and in front of her was Forte, who sat back down. So far, she liked the people around her. A bell sounded out, and everyone who wasn't in their seats sat down as quickly as possible. Before them stood a young woman with long, wavy gray hair.

"Class, class settle down!" she called out. Everyone went quiet, waiting for her to start the lesson.

"Well, today we're going to introduce our student coming back! Ailan!" Ailan tilted her head in question. Did she really just say…Student coming back…? Everyone took it in stride though, and clapped their hands. Ailan stood up and just looked around before the teacher quieted the class down.

"My name is Lin Fa. I am your Language Arts teacher, and as such, we will be reading History Textbooks!" Ailan stopped and stared. History textbooks? What?

"Grab your textbooks under your desks and let's begin with a poem from the medieval times." Ailan was thoroughly confused, but everyone just took out their textbooks, and Ailan went with it. The bell rang sometime later, and Lin Fa clapped her hands.

"All righty! Wait for your next teacher to come in. 4 minute break!" Everyone heaved sighs of relief as Lin Fa walked out the door. Ailan turned to Margaret.

"Did we seriously just learn History that entire period?" she asked. Margaret laughed.

"We read a poem. That in itself is Language Arts." She went and read the poem again, almost singing it to herself. Ailan gave a sigh as she leaned her head back. She forgot that Dylas' desk was right behind hers though, and was met with his eyes staring down at her.

"Could you get off my desk? Or is that not possible?" he growled a bit. Ailan shot up off his desk and sat up straight.

"I-I'm sorry!" she stammered. Dylas' gaze softened if only for a mere moment before becoming those hard set eyes again.

"Just don't do it again…" he muttered under his breath. Ailan briskly nodded her head as the next teacher came into the room. It was a young man with blue hair and blue beard. He put his hands on the desk and then said, "All right class! Let's learn how to make money easily!" Ailan felt her head reach her desk. What in the world…?

"So, if we have several items that we all bought for a penny, and really aren't very spectacular, how much money would you sell them for to make the most profit?" Xiao Pai raised her hand.

"I would at least start it off at two pennies each item!" she cried out. Ailan was so confused by this madness.

"But then you'd only profit a penny for each item! I say we make each a dollar," Doug called out from his seat in the back. Arthur sighed.

"You are all terribly mistaken, it wouldn't make any sense if we sold items that weren't spectacular in the first place. I say we don't buy the items in the first place." And so the class became a discussion forum, with Ailan sitting there utterly confused.

"Um…Mr….Um…" she raised her hand. The man looked at her, and suddenly gasped.

"I forgot to introduce myself to you! My name is Bado. I teach Business and Math combined together!" he gave a grin. Forte walked up to the front though, and started to yell.

"BADO! WE LEARN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM YOU! IF YOU COULD ACTUALLY TEACH SOMETHING USEFUL FOR ONCE…" Forte ranted. Bado just surrendered, putting his hands over his head. The class kept yelling at each other for no reason, until finally, Forte screamed for the to quiet down. Silence. Ailan was so overwhelmed at this point that she felt her head hit her desk again. Dylas behind her laughed a bit under his breath. Margaret was also quietly laughing.

Yet again the bell rang. But this time, Bado said it was for lunch. Ailan stood up to get lunch. Her head was reeling from all the information ricocheting through her head. The first two classes were way too crazy for her liking. But Ailan faced another problem. Where was she going to sit for lunch? Looking around aimlessly, Ailan tried to search for a place to sit.

Margaret sat with Forte and Clorica. She was deeply engrossed in a conversation. Ailan didn't want to intrude. Dolce and Pico talked with Amber, Xiao Pai and Leon. Doug, Dylas, and Vishnal all sat talking. Arthur was nowhere to be seen. But Kiel sat alone, reading a book. Deciding that it was her best bet, Ailan sat down across from him.

Kiel paid no heed to the sudden newcomer, and continued to flip a page each time he finished it. Ailan enjoyed the quiet company. After a while, she got curious.

"What book is it?" she asked Kiel. Kiel finally looked up, and his blue eyes locked onto Ailan's with an intensity she had never seen before. They sat there for a while, just looking at each other. Finally Kiel broke the silence.

"It's a book on weather. I really enjoy it." Ailan just nodded her head, still at a lost for words. The bell rang again, and the students filed back to the class. The next teacher was a little bit on the rounder side…And had long orange hair.

"Good morning class!" he called out. Ailan sighed. Afternoon…

"All righty! Let's learn how to cook eggs today!" A cooking class? Wow this'll be quite interesting…Ailan watched carefully as she followed Porcoline's exact instructions. She was cooking the egg with Dylas, as they were paired up with the person behind them. While cracking the egg though, she accidentally touched the hot pan.

"Ouch!" she shook her hand. Porcoline checked her injury, then sent her and Dylas to the Nurse's. Dylas was only there to accompany her.

"Is your finger okay…?" Dylas asked. Ailan shook her head, her finger on fire with pain. He nodded his head, and quickened his pace. They finally made it to the Nurse's office. There, a young woman met them.

"Oh dearie! Dylas what happened to her?" Dylas explained the situation. Ailan sat down, watching the two. Nancy was the nurse's name, and she had long blonde hair in a ponytail. She simply took in all that Dylas said, and then took Ailan's hand. She examined it, and then brought some ice water and Aloe.

"Here put your hand in this water. It'll help cool the burn. Then Dylas can help you put Aloe on it afterwards…" Nancy headed out to speak with Jones, her husband and the other nurse on school grounds. He had grayish brown hair, and seemed a lot more sterner than Nancy. Ailan and Dylas were soon out on their way though, and the last class had started by the time they got there.

The new teacher smiled, "The mystery has been solved! Ailan and Dylas are no longer missing!" Ailan was so confused while Dylas just rolled his eyes.

"Mrs. Illuminata, not everything can be a mystery…" he mumbled annoyed.

"That's not true Dylas and you know it! Life is a mystery, which is why we learn history to solve it!" she winked at Ailan. Ailan just nodded, and the two returned to their seats.

The last bell rang for the end of the day. Ailan was so tired and worn out. She followed everyone to the dorms. According to Margaret, Ailan would have to stay with Clorica and Vishnal. Ailan was surprised at the mixed dorms, but didn't have the heart to question it. Everything was so weird in this school.

Two older people greeted them at the entrance to the dorms. The man's name was Volkanon. He had gray hair with a beard and mustache. He seemed kindly, but stern. The other woman was named Blossom, and was a kindly old lady with gray hair. The two were the so-called dorm heads.

"So, miss Ailan! You shall be staying in this dorm with Vishnal and Clorica. Don't worry about Vishnal. The dorms have two separate rooms within the one. It is much easier this way to check on all of you. Bedtime is 9:00 at the earliest, and 10:30 at the latest. Blossom and I will do checks at those two times." Volkanon handed Ailan a key and ushered her into her room before closing the door behind her.

Clorica was already sleeping on her work desk, and Ailan could hear Vishnal humming in his room doing his homework. Ailan decided to do her homework. Later on at night, she fell asleep, and for the first time in forever, actually conked out as soon as her head hit her pillow.
