Summery: "What if… What if there was a force of some sort… A force that allowed your deepest desire to become true…"

Marrissa Charlotte Fray, sometimes know as Marry, seemed to be a typical teenager. Seemed being the keyword in that sentence.

At a glance, she was just your average girl, born and raised in a small, isolated place by the name "Raynebow Valley". She had golden hair with emerald-green eyes, earrings along her ears; five on her left ear, four on her right to be exact. Not too strange.

Sure, she lost her parents in an accident when she was eleven, but many children lost family, as harsh as that may sound, but little ol' Marry has coped after many years, living with her Aunt Natalia. As a matter a fact, by the time she turned fifteen, Marrissa had started working on a farm that her father started a few months before his death.

Still nothing unusual.

For some odd reason, Marry also had an obsession with the small, crimson fruit we like to call "cherries". She, well, she calls them "heaven."

You're probably wanting me to get to the point by now huh? Well, before that, there's still one characteristic left; one a tad stranger.

For some reason, cats had a tendency to follow Marrissa around. Whether it be while she worked, walked, shopped, or anything else, she almost always had one of the small, furry creatures following her around or clinging onto her somehow.

That was a little weird.

You know what else is strange? Well, it started a while ago. Marry had once been reading the newspaper, something only created to pass time in her mind, when an article caught her eye.

"What if there was something that could make your wishes come true?"

Since that time, Marry had been snooping around, trying to find some more information on this specific topic. Countless nights filled with a worried Auntie Natalia, explosions sounding from the basement, and multiple ideas only to come out negative. It's a surprise Marry hadn't somehow killed herself yet.

Though these dead ends wouldn't stop her. She would create the potion, no matter what. Even if it was the last thing she did, she would figure it out, or die trying.

A/n: Nyaaa, sorry for the suck-tastic writing! It's been a very long time since I've written in third person O.e Also, chapter will be much longer. This prologue was mainly for the exposition, and so you all would come to know who Marrissa is, and not wonder why some random girl whom no one has heard of shows up.

But there's a few little things I wanna explain; for example, the whole "Raynebow Valley." Some of you may be thinking something like "Is that the name of one of the islands in an upcoming game?" or something similar, but the answer is no. Raynebow Valley is originally the name for a Valley in a Harvest Moon roleplay I own on Gaiaonline. So yes, I do have permission to use it, considering my friend gave it to me a while back when I remade the roleplay and built the Valley into specific sections.

Second of all, you may think "Well, if it's an original setting, this must have original characters too!" Again, no. That would completely take away the point of this being a fanfiction. What I have decided to do is this; all the bachelors people have suggested on multiple websites will be on the island, as well as their rival partners, and a few random other characters whom I want to drag in. I'm totally open for more suggestions though. I currently have Gill, Chase, Julius, Luke, Gray, Doctor Trent, Kai, and Skye. Feel free to suggest any others.

Until next time then!
