Hello everyone! So, I have this new fanfic idea that may or may not continue, depending on my inspiration and your interest or lack there of. See, I am absolutely in love with Story of Seasons, and I got this great idea due to my indecisiveness. I couldn't choose between two of the bachelors, so I made two files and am now currently dating both of them :P the bachelors in this fic are still pending (so is the name of this fic), but I have an idea of who will be with who. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this, it's kinda ramble-y but I like it.

Also, I'm just gonna put this in the Harvest Moon category for now, even thought I know TECHNICALLY it's not a Harvest Moon game, (but it totally is) so, yeah, just to clear any confusion.

And for those who are wondering about "I never thought I'd see you again" I am not giving up on that series yet. It's taking some time getting the next chapter written, so I appreciate your patience.

Please review if you'd like.

"Junk mail, junk mail, more junk mail, ooh, a coupon for coffee cream! Better save that one!"

Rummaging through the mail was a daily task for 24-year-old Minori. With her older sister, Kotori, still at work at this hour, it was something that passed the time, even if for only a short while. Minori and Kotori had lived together in their small apartment in the city for almost 3 years now, after having graduated from school, and now living out their lives in the adult world. Kotori was content with the life she was living, being a zoologist and a professor at the city's main university, but Minori was starting to dread every day life, especially since it was winter, since she hated the cold. She herself majored in biology, but so far she had only managed to get a menial office job; so much for that diploma.

Biology wasn't her first choice in schooling options, but it was the only one her parents would accept. The field that she wanted to study was literally in the fields: farming fields to be exact. Since she was little, running a farm was all she wanted to do. She owned more farm animal toys than dolls, studied the process of growing tomatoes and attempted to grow them in her back yard, and even tried creating her own fertilizer formula! Needless to say that her dream was not accepted by anyone in her family, and she eventually hid it in the back of her mind to focus on things that her parents would approve of. But there was always that lingering want, to just get away from the city and try to pursue her dream. If only she had the chance…

And just like that, fate had an answer for her.

Her hand stopped on a pamphlet, simple in design, but that wasn't what caught her attention. It was what was written on it:

"New Farmers Wanted! Join us and help Oak Tree Town grow as you work the land!"

She moved the pamphlet from the rest of the mail and looked at it. Flipping it over to the other side was a form to fill out.

"I… I don't believe it… This is my big chance!"

Springing from her seat, she ran over to the cordless landline and called her sister's work.

"I'm leaving a message for Kotori. Can you please tell her to come home right away? It's very important! Oh, and tell her this is from Minori!"

Letting out an excited squeal, Minori jumped.

"I can't wait to tell Kotori!"

"Absolutely not."

"B-but Kotoriiiii~"

Minori pleaded before her older sister, still in her work attire. Even without the lab coat, you would be able to tell that she worked in a highly praised and intelligent field. It was her poise and sophistication that would tip you off, not to mention how much more composed she was, unlike her sister.

"I thought you gave up on that silly dream years ago."

"Y-yeah, but only because mom and dad didn't like it! But we're adults now, so we can take this chance!"

"What do you mean "we"? I'm not going anywhere."

"Ehhh~? Why not?"

Kotori sighed. "Unlike you, I'm perfectly fine with my life. I have a wonderful career, budding prospects and good friends."

Ouch. That's gotta sting.

"Y-you don't have to be so mean about it! I'm only suggesting it anyway!" Minori showed the form to her sister.

"It says here that only one person will be chosen for it anyways. I don't have much of a chance even if I did fill it out."

"Exactly."

"But…"

Kotori looked up, and saw that same face her sister made almost 10 years ago: the face she made when her dreams were crushed.

"Even if I don't get accepted, I still want to try. Farming is something I've always wanted to do. Even if I end up terrible at it, I'll work hard at it. I keep going even if I feel like I can't. That's how bad I want to be a farmer!"

Kotori felt a pang of shock run through her. She was surprised at how assertive her sister was being. This wasn't like her at all. Or, was it? Was this the Minori she had hid away?

Minori was on the verge of tears. Having to talk about her passion after hiding it away for so long brought up so many emotions.

"Fine."

She looked up, not sure if her heard her sister right.

"You might as well try, I guess. Like you said, you're an adult now."

Minori's face changed into a huge smile.

"Thank you Kotori!" She hugged her sister gleefully.

"Just don't expect me to come running when you need help. This is all on you now."

"I know!"

She took a pen and began to fill out the form, vigorously but carefully answering each question. Kotori sighed and began to make dinner, but every now and then she would glance over to her overly excited sister, trying to rack her brain for answers, and she would let out a smirk. Despite their differences and the ongoing conflicts between the two, they could easily get along. Like ying and yang, peanut butter and jelly, stuff like that. Basically they were each other's other half.

As Kotori set the table for dinner, Minori had finished filling out the form, and was rummaging around for an envelope. She would have to buy a stamp later.

The tow of them engaged in a conversation over dinner about how one of the animals at Kotori's work had almost escaped, if it weren't for her luring it back into it's wild life space. Minori laughed so hard tears came out of her eyes, and Kotori simply spoke and nodded.

A week later...

"Kotoriiii~!"

Minori dashed into her sisters room, clearly excited. Kotori was writing some thoughts in her brown patent leather notebook, something she always had on her.

"Minori, I've told you many times knock before you come in-"

"But this is important! I got a letter, and it's from Oak Tree Town!"

Kotori looked up from her notebook, seeing her sister with an intense but nervous expression.

"Are you going to open it or stare at it until you explode?"

"I wanted to wait for you! This is really important and I want you to be here with me, good or bad."

Kotori looked at her sister before sighing. She always seemed to know what to say.

"Alright, lets have a look."

Minori nodded before carefully ripping open the top of the envelope, staring intently as to not rip the paper inside. Once that was done, slowly she took out the page, hands shaking, and open it one fold at a time. Then it was silent. Minori had stopped shaking. Her eyes were glued to the paper in her hands.

Kotori began reading it for herself, and before she could get to the part where Minori was reading, a loud cry escaped from her.

"GAH!" Kotori jumped, fightened.

"THEY CHOSE ME! AHHHHH!" Minori jumped up and down, ran around their floor, even showing the letter to a few of their neighbours before Kotori dragged her back into the apartment.

"Sheesh, you always have to make a scene don't you?"

Minori wasn't listening; her mind was somewhere else. All she could think about was the new life she was going to embark on.

"Kotori," she hugged her sister tightly, "this is the best day of my life! I'm so happy you're here with me to celebrate it!"

Kotori looked down at her sister, befuddled, but returned her hug.

"How about we order in tonight? My treat."

"Yesss~! Ooh ooh, how about Thai food from that place down the street? They have really good Pad Thai!"

"Whatever you want, really. You're a farm girl now."

Minori simply smiled, but there was an air of cheekiness to it. Kotori raised an eyebrow before dismissing it and walking to grab the landline. Fining the takeout menu, she placed their order.

"…30 minutes? Alright, thank you." She hung up. She was about to place the phone back on its port, when she noticed something. The acceptance letter was laid out on their small table, but there was something at the bottom. She didn't get to finish since Minori had that outburst. Placing it down, she picked up the letter and read the bottom.

She read it over two more times to make sure she wasn't reading it wrong.

"We, the people of Oak Tree Town are excited to welcome both Minori and Kotori to our humble town."

"MINORI! WHY IS MY NAME HERE?!"
