Please read and review!!
Disclaimer: I dont own Harvest Moon. (duh)
He was so silly that day I met him. He was eccentric and laughing and fun to be around. He was glowing in my eyes. I was drawn to that light.
I had just moved to Waffle Town, and, aside from the weird dreams that happened occasionally, I was enjoying living here. My house was finally built after days of working at the Soufflé Farm. I was ready to start planting crops. I was also ready to meet the man of my dreams. All the guys in the previous town I'd lived in were stuck up and rude, so I was ready for a guy who I could get along with easily. I had met Gill and Jin, but both of them weren't my type. They were cute, don't get me wrong, but they were just to serious for me. I needed a guy who could easily brighten my mood and make me laugh when I was feeling down.
With those goals in mind, I set outside to plant the potato seeds that were given to me. I did everything that I learned from the Soufflé Farm , but I was still exhausted. I went to the hot spring that Elli told me about. She'd said that it would make me feel better but that I should only go there once a day. Elli was right, the spring made me feel much better. After my little bath, I followed the path that, on my map, went to the Ganache Mine District. The weird thing was that, when I got there, there was a huge root in my way. "What the…" I started but was soon interrupted by Gill, Mayor Hamilton's son, who had appeared behind me.
"I'm sorry about that root." he said. "I told Dale to get rid of it, but he has been procrastinating it. I believe it's because that root is a root of the Harvest Goddess Tree, but the tree is dead. Also, the root is in the way. I'm sure that the Harvest Goddess wouldn't get angry at us for cutting it."
I looked at him and said, "Okay, no hurry. I'll go remind Dale. I was going that way, anyway."
"Okay," he said. He walked back towards the town. I looked down at my map and saw that now I would have to go through the Maple Lake District to get to the Ganache Mine District, but that didn't bother me. I would have a chance to meet more people so I head down the trail to the Maple Lake District.
Once I got there I gawked at the lake and wished I had a fishing pole. Maybe I should go to On The Hook and see if anyone has an old pole I could use. Then remembering that I needed to visit Dale, I decided to go the long way around to further meet more people. When I reached the cemetery, I saw a woman there. "Hi there," I said.
"Oh, hi," she replied, "My name is Mira."
"I'm Akari. Nice to meet you."
"You must be new here." Mira commented.
"Yes," I said, " I was going around to meet everyone."
"That's sweet." she said, "I work at the Blacksmith. I'll refine any wonderfuls or ores that you find in the mine."
"Okay, nice meeting you," I said as she walked away.I passed a few empty houses as I made my way to the Ganache Mine District.I wonder who lives there, that may be Mira's house, but what about the others? When I got made it to the Ganache Mine District, I decided to go visit the Soufflé Farm and say hi. As I walked trough the door I saw Anissa and her parents, "Hi. I thought I'd stop by and say hello since I was passing by."
"How nice of you!." Anissa replied.
"I also thought that I should pick up some more seeds." I said as I made the way to the counter. I checked my limited amount of money and decided to buy two bags of turnip seeds and a bag of breadfruit seeds. "Thanks," I said, " See you again."
On my way out the door, Craig said, "Take care, shorty." It didn't bug me though because Anissa had told me while I was staying at their farm that when Craig acts like that he really actually cares. I smiled as made my way to the blacksmith. As I entered, I saw a grumpy old man and a cheerful little girl. "Hello, I'm Akari. I just moved here and wanted to introduce myself to everyone."
"Well isn't that nice. I'm Ramsey, and I own this place." he said, not sounding that happy to meet me.
"Don't mind Gramps," said the little girl, "My name is Chloe. Nice to meet you!!"
"Thanks," I said. "See you around then," I left, but when I got outside, there was this muscled man beating the heck out of a rock with a hammer. "What you doing?" I asked.
"Oh, hi, I didn't see you there. I'm Owen. I'm just breaking this rock up to make material stone. By the way, Who are you?"
"I'm Akari. I just moved here. I was also wondering where I could get a hammer." I said.
"Here, you can have my old one. I don't use it anymore, but it's great to get you started." He gave me the hammer. When I grabbed, I realized it was heavier than it looked. "Hey, be careful." he warned as he saw my struggles.
"Thanks," I said. "I really appreciate it."
"No problem," he responded. "See you again."
"Bye." I said. As I walked to the carpentry, I was thinking about Owen. "He's nice," I thought to myself, "But not type." I was beginning to wonder if any of the guys in this town could win me over. Maybe I'll meet someone at the carpentry
-Gah! Here's the first chapter.. I don't know anything. i wrote this months ago but was too afraid to publish. I'll probably finish this (somehow) and move onto a GilXAkari fic but only if this turns out well. Please review.. (even if it sucked)
