This is my first story here on fanfic, and I will try my best to keep it up. It's Harvest Moon based. To be exact, it's based off of Harvest Moon:Tree of Tranquility. I'm not using Angela/Akari, though, I'm using my own original character in place of her. I've changed some things, but it's basically sure. I'm not sure which of the characters she is going to end up falling for, probably Chase, or maybe Gill. I don't know. Just read this and find out.

Notes and Disclaimer: This might be slightly crappy. It's my first fanfic, and I haven't got my ideas together yet. Review and critique me please. I would love that. I do NOT own any of the Harvest Moon plots, characters, themes or anything yet. I do have the game, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility for my Nintendo Wii.

.:::Chapter One; Moving to Waffle Island:::.

Moving to a new place. That was just terrific. Rhian rolled her eyes at the thought of moving away from home. And to a farm? Her mom really had gone off her rocker with this one... Why was Rhian moving to a farm, when she didn't even know a thing about farming? Because the farm that she was about to take over was once owned by her father, before she was even born. Her father died a week after she was born, so she didn't even know him. She didn't see why she was going to have to drop out of high school her Senior year, and then move to some stupid little island with stupid people. Well, the people might not be stupid. She hadn't really met them yet. They probably weren't going to like her though.

Thinking about this, Rhian looked down at herself. She was dressed in a light pink tanktop, and jeans, along with white sneakers. Her skin was a fair color, and she had hardly any muscle. She wasn't sure how she was going to manage to lift any of the tools, or move any of the animals. She frowned, and her big, long lashed, sapphire colored eyes glanced down at the ocean that was passing by. It was probably around noon, and the sun was high in the sky, causing the ocean to sparkle. It was pretty. Rhian was taking note of her surroundings, and she saw an island in the distance. That was probably where she was going to be living. She rolled her eyes, and ran a hand through her short blonde hair, which had icy blue tips that curled around her chin.

"Are you okay?" Rhian heard the voice of the ship's captain, whose name she did not know, talking to her. She turned and smiled.

"I'm fine, thank you," she said, and then rubbed the back of her head. "I don't think I'm going to do good on the island," she mumbled, leaning against the boat's rail, and staring out into the ocean.

"That's not a positive view. I'm sure you'll do fine. It'll just take time to adjust," the captain smiled at her. "I'm Pascal. What's your name?" He added, before taking a draw off of his pipe.

"Oh, I'm Rhian," Rhian answered. She was being nice. She really didn't want to talk to anyone, but she had to be friendly.

"What kind of foods do you like to eat?" Pascal asked.

What kind of question is that??? Rhian thought, and she frowned slightly. "I... I guess I like fruits and vegitables the best. Why does it matter?" She asked.

"Well, you'll find plenty of fruits and vegitables of the best variety and quality on the island," Pascal smiled.

They were close to the island now, and it was about time to dock. Rhian was so nervous now. She was about to see her new house. No, her new farm. First she would probably have to meet some people, and then she would see her new house, and have to change into some decent farm clothes, that were more durable.

The boat docked, and Pascal got off. Rhian hesitated, but then followed him.

It was Spring, and on the island, it was noticeable. Rhian could see flowers lining the streets, and the air smelled really fresh. Rhian inhaled deeply, and then smiled.

Pascal turned to her. "I'm going to introduce you to the people at the fishing company, and then I'm going to let the mayor do the rest," he explained. Rhian only nodded and followed him into the building that was next to the dock.

There were three people in the building. A guy that looked around her age, a little kid, and an middle aged looking man. They all smiled when she walked in, and she felt herself blush a bit.

"You new around here? What do you think about fishing? I'm Ozzie by the way," The middle aged man smiled.

"It's fine...." Rhian blinked, and then added. "I'm Rhian."

"My name's Toby. There's nothing better than fishing and naps," The guy her age smiled.

Rhian smiled.

"I'm Pao, and it's nice to meetcha. Toby is my cousin, and Ozzie is my father," the little kid grinned.

"We've stocked the tool box in your house with a fishing rod, and I've put a book with a lot of nice tips about fish and things in your bookshelf," Ozzie said.

"Thank you..." Rhian felt so out of place with a bunch of fishing guys. She wasn't really that into fishing or anything of that nature, and in her opinion, the whole room stunk. She was going to be nice though, because the people seemed really friendly.

"Okay, let's go," Pascal said.

Rhian nodded and waved to the people, who waved back.

Pascal led her to an intersection in the street, in front of what appeared to be an inn. There was a jolly looking old man in a blue coat standing there. "I'm Mayor Hamilton, and you must be Rhian!!!" The man said, and shook her hand.

"Hi," Rhian had no idea what else to say.

"Well, we haven't quite got your place ready, so you might want to go check out the Sundae Inn, and meet all of it's workers," Hamilton said.

"I have to stay at an inn tonight?" Rhian asked. She smiled as Pascal walked off, back to the fishing company.

"I'm sorry. The people there are friendly," Hamilton frowned.

"Okay. I shouldn't complain. At least I have somewhere to stay," She sighed, and walked into the Inn.

There were four people in the Inn, which was also a cafe by the looks of it. Two of the people were most likely a couple, who were young, but not really young. There was an old lady, and then, in the kitchen, there was a boy who was around her age. He was cute, too, but didn't even spare her a glance when she walked in.

"Hello. You must be the one taking over Jensen's farm?" The old lady smiled.

Rhian looked confused. Was Jensen her dad's name? "Uhm... Yeah... I guess," she blushed.

"Yes, I do believe you are. I forgot that you never met your dad. He was a wonderful man. I'm Yolanda, by the way," the old lady said.

"I'm Colleen, and this is my husband, Jake," The woman smiled, and bowed her head.

The older man, Jake smiled brightly. "Pleased to meet you. You're father was wonderful, though I didn't know him very well," Jake sighed.

Rhian glanced at the guy in the kitchen, whose eyes met her soon after. "My name is Chase. Not that it really matters," he mumbled.

"Erm, I'm Rhian... It's a pleasure to meet you," Rhian had the urge to stare at Chase, but he seemed hostile, so instead, she stared at her feet. "I was told by Mayor Hamilton that I will be staying here tonight?" she asked, still not looking up.

"Oh, of course," Colleen smiled. "You're welcomed here anytime that you want," Colleen smiled. "You should meet our daughter, Maya, by the way. She should be around town hall," Colleen added.

"I will do that. I think I need to get going, as I still need to meet some people," Rhian smiled, and then walked out, after saying goodbye.

Next, Hamilton told her to go to town square, and that's where she met Maya, who was sitting on a bench. "Oh, Hi!! You must be the new girl?" Maya hopped up, and smiled.

"Uhm, yeah. Rhian's the name," Rhian smiled.

"Okay, I'm Maya. I love to cook, though I'm not very good at it," She frowned for a moment but then smiled again.

"We should cook together sometime, or something," Rhian felt comfortable around the girl. She liked to cook as well, though she would rather it be with Chase, than Maya. She would be fine though.

"That's sounds fun! I need to get back to the inn so I will see you around," and with that, Maya waved and ran off.

Rhian turned, and then walked into the town hall, where she saw two people, a male and a female that were around her age. "Hello?" she tilted her head.

"Oh, hello," the female bowed, and then smiled. "I'm Elli, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hmph.... You actually moved to this place? The island isn't in the best condition ever, you know," The boy mumbled. "Also, I'm Gill, and I'm the mayor's son," he added, folding his arms across his chest.

"Okay, it's nice to meet both of you," Rhian was astonished at how many rude people there were on this island. She wanted to say something, but she didn't wanted to make a bad impression. "I think I need to go introduce myself to more of the islanders, so I'm going to leave," Rhian mumbled, and turned to leave.

"Okay, bye," Elli said.

"Work hard, and don't you dare start complaining when you get tired, then you'll get by just fine," Gill said, in a slightly bitter tone.

Rhian rolled her eyes. He was such a jerk.

Next, Rhian was directed to the general store, where she encountered three people, a couple and their daughter, obviously. The parents seemed to be arguing, but it stopped as soon as Rhian walked in.

"Oh, you must be the new girl. I'm Barbara, and this is my husband, Simon, and my daughter, Phoebe," the older girl smiled.

"I'm Rhian, and yep, I'm new," she smiled. This family seemed slightly awkward.

"Stop by here if you need to shop. You might have to buy a few things for the farm," Simon said.

Phoebe didn't talk. She just smiled.

Rhian got through talking and then left, next to the clinic, where she met an old lady, a doctor that was only a bit older than her, and a younger boy.

They introduced themselves as Irene, Jin, and Perry, and Jin told her that if she ever felt sick, to come by, and he told her to watch how much work she did, and not to run herself down.

Next, she was off to the Taylor shop, where she met an old woman, and two sisters, who were probably also around her age. They were introduced as Candace and Luna, and the old lady was introduced as Shelly. Luna seemed to be snooty, and made a rude comment on her clothing, which almost made Rhian said something, and Candace didn't really talk. Shelly was a sweet old lady, who informed her about buying clothes, and how all the clothes were handmade.

And that was it. It was late now, and the sun was setting, and Rhian had met all of the people in the town. She would have to go meet some more people, tomorrow, and see her farm.

"Who all do I have to meet now?" she asked Mayor Hamilton, once she returned to the inn.

You need to meet the people of Souffle Farm, and Brownie Ranch, as well as Ramsey's blacksmith, and Dale's carpentry. And there are two more people in the inn now that you haven't met," Hamilton explained.

Rhian sighed. She hated meeting people. "Okay, that's fine. I'll do that tomorrow," she said, before entering the inn. There was a blonde headed girl now, and a rough looking man. The man was behind the bar part of the counter, and the girl was sitting at a table. She hopped up when she saw Rhian though.

"I'm Cathy, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" the girl was sweet and energetic, and seemed friendly.

"I'm Hayden, and I'm her father," the man said.

"I'm Rhian," Rhian introduced herself. Her eyes went to Chase, who was still in the kitchen. He didn't even notice her though. She frowned, before saying. "I'm tired, so I'm going to go to sleep." She blushed, before heading up the stairs to her room. She took her shoes off, and then laid across the bed. The day had been pretty good. It hadn't gone exactly as planned. She wanted know more about Chase, and she was pretty sure that it wouldn't happen. He didn't even spare her a glance. It hurt her to think about, but she would make it. She was tired at the time, and needed sleep. In a few minutes, she was asleep.
