Chelsea looked at the small, wooden house. She had decided to take over the farm here on Ranch Island.
"This is your house, Chelsea. It's great that you'll be taking care of this farm. Why don't you name it?" Taro said. He was balding, but he seemed friendly enough.
"Hm… How about…Lunar Ranch?" Chelsea suggested.
"That's a great name! Lunar Ranch," Taro said, "Ah, here come Mirabelle, Felicia, Chen, and Gannon."
"Morning, you must be Chelsea. Nice to meet you," the brown haired woman said, "I'm Mirabelle."
"I'm Gannon, I'll build anything ya' need me to," The large, muscled man said.
"Oh, you can buy animals and animal supplies from me," Mirabelle said.
"I'm Felicia. I'm Taro's daughter. I have two children your age, please come meet them," the woman with pink, braided hair said.
"Okay, sure," Chelsea said.
"I'm Chen. I sell seeds and furniture at my shop. Stop by sometime," the dark haired man said.
"Right, I'll be sure to ask you guys for help," Chelsea said.
"Chelsea, come to the field with me," Taro demanded.
Chelsea followed the elderly man to the field. On the ground were a hoe and a watering can. Taro handed her two bags of seeds.
"Do you know how to plant seeds?" Taro asked.
"Yeah, thanks. Wow, this island is gorgeous," Chelsea said.
"No problem. Plant those seeds then get some sleep. It's been a long day. Tomorrow you should go meet everyone in town," Taro said, "Oh, and if you can't find the shop you need, ask anyone."
"Yes, sir," Chelsea said.
Taro walked away and Chelsea picked up the hoe. She tilled the soil, planted the seeds, and watered them. She looked north and spotted a building. What is that? She thought walking towards it. She wandered inside.
"A Stable?" She wondered out loud.
It had three feeders, but was obviously unused. Chelsea stood there, looking about. She smiled, and headed back to the house. Her house.
Chelsea woke early the next morning. She watered her crops and headed into town. It was Tuesday, Spring 2. She walked across the bridge and smiled. She wasn't as far from town as she had originally believed. She headed east, spotting Chen's shop. She walked in.
"Oh! Hi, lady," a small boy said.
"Charlie, that's Chelsea, the new rancher," Chen said.
"Morning, Chen. Nice to meet you, Charlie," Chelsea smiled.
"What can I do for you?" Chen asked.
"Just looking. Taro said I should meet people," Chelsea explained.
"Ah, well let us know if you find anything," Chen replied.
Chelsea looked around. She left, and headed to the next shop. It was Mirabelle's shop. She walked in.
"Mornin' Chelsea. You're up early. Hold on, I want you to meet someone," Mirabelle said, "Vaughn, come here, please."
"What is it?" a silver hair guy said. He had long, silver hair and red eyes. He wore a black cowboy hat.
"I want you to meet Chelsea, the new rancher. You two are around the same age," Mirabelle said.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Chelsea," Chelsea said.
"Vaughn," the boy said.
Chelsea almost said something else, but the boy walked off.
"Don't mind him, he's anti-social. I'm Julia, Mirabelle's daughter. Nice to meet, you Chelsea," a girl's voice chimed.
Chelsea turned to see a blonde girl with her hair tied back.
"Nice to meet you. Well, I hate to be rude, but I've got to see the town," Chelsea said.
"Let me give you the grand tour. We'll check out Taro's house first," Julia said.
"Okay, sounds great," Chelsea agreed.
