Disclamer: I do not own Harvest moon, a wonderful life. AN: please note that I wrote this before the game came out so I may be inaccurate in some details. I also decided to give her a New York like accent since she seems like that type of city girl. I decided to do Mumu since she's the girl that I'm going for once the game comes out so this is for all you Mumu lovers out there!
It was a beautiful day in Forget-me-not village. The birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing… Crash! And the sound of glass breaking could be heard from the Forget-me-not bar.
"Darn it Mumu, not another one!" said a man from inside the bar. In the bar, a skinny, middle aged man with a big nose and a bushy mustache began sweeping up pieces of what used to be a few drinking glasses. A young girl watched him. She was very beautiful, with long golden hair moved back with a black headband, a short red dress that matched with it, (not to mention showed off her figure) and red high healed shoes. She looked like she was going to cry.
"I'm so sorry!" Mumu said in a slight new yorken accent. "It was an accident, I didn't mean ta' trip and drop it." The man had finished sweeping up the glass and placed it in the trash. He smiled at Mumu.
"Aw, don't worry about it." He said, coming over to her and wrapping his arm around her shoulder gently. She sniffled and leaned against him. "Accidents happen, I'm just glad your not hurt." She leaned away from him and smiled.
"Thanks Gafan, your such a great friend ta' me." He nodded.
"Why don't you go for a walk now." He said. "You don't work till this evening, and you can practice carrying glasses later." Mumu ginned brightly. "Sure!", and skipped out the door. Gafan suddenly frowned. "Uh Mumu, just watch your ste…" Mumu suddenly tripped again. "Ouchies!" Gafan placed his hand to his face. "Nevermind…"
Mumu normaly took ling walks around the village before going to work in the evening. She was a bar tender, but a very clumsy one at that. It didn't matter to Gafan though. He was always nice to her, and understood her. She smiled inwardly at that. She stayed at the bar since she hadn't enough money to stay at the inn at first. When she had earned enough she decided to stay at the inn, but Gafan said that she was welcomed to stay at the bar. So she did. As she kept walking, she decided to take a different route. I'm sure a little change of scenery might do me some good, she thought to herself. She walked away from the village to the old farm. She had heard that someone recently had taken over the farm. She was curious to know who it was.
The farm looked like quite a mess, but she could tell where it was cleaned up. She stopped to admire it. She saw the barn door open and saw someone walk out. It was a young man. He had short brown hair that was all over, brown eyes, and a nice face. He was wearing blue pants with brown boots and a white shirt with suspenders. He also had red and black gloves. He was currently hoeing up some ground to grow some plants. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he worked. She found that she couldn't take her eyes off him. "He sure looks cute." She said. He stopped hoeing to wipe the sweat from his face and looked right at Mumu! He smiled at her. She took a step back, startled, and tripped on a rock. She screamed and rolled down the hill.
The man took off after her, jumping over the fence and down the hill. Mumu reached the bottom of the hill with a big thump. She lay sprawled on the ground for a few minutes, stars dancing in front of her eyes.
"Ugn…darn these high heels…" she said to herself. She heard someone running toward her. The man had finally caught up to her. He kneeled beside her.
"Are you alright?" he asked. Mumu's eyes focused a bit on him. His face was full of concern. She couldn't help but smile at him.
"Sure…" Mumu said. He helped her up. She wobbled a little bit, her head still spinning a little. He held onto her to make sure she didn't fall again. She blushed and pushed him lightly away. "Don't chu' worry about me." She said smiling. He blushed as well seeing her pretty face. They stared at each other for a moment. Then the man coughed awkwardly.
"Um…well, if your alright, I'd better get back to work." He said. He looked down. Mumu did as well. She was very red from embarrassment.
"Well, see ya later." She said quietly and began walking off.
"Hey! Uh, whats your name?" he hollered to her. She turned around. He was smiling gently at her. She blushed again.
"It's Mumu." She said smiling. "What's yours?"
"I'm Jack."
Mumu was back at the bar in her room. Her room was pretty plain. There was a dresser with a picture of Mumu's family and a small flower in a vase. A small suitcase lay in a corner partly open with a couple of outfits of hers. She had several cosmetics on top of a little bedside table, and the bed was small as well, but full of comfy sheets and a red checkered blanket. She was currently sitting on her bed applying a band aid to her knee. All the while she was thinking of Jack. He's different from other guys for some reason. I mean, he's so…nice. She blushed. He didn't even try to take advantage of me like those dirty guys in the city. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It read 5:33.
"I guess I bedda' eat something. It's almost time ta' go ta' work." She walked downstairs to the kitchen to fix a snack.
Meanwhile, back at the farm Jack was finishing his dinner. It was a hard day of work today. He was happy though since his crops were starting to grow. He looked at the clock. It read 5:59.
"I think I deserve a night out." He said smiling to himself. He finished washing the dishes and went out to the bar.
6:02. The bar was now open for business. Gafan chatted to several people at the bar as he served up drinks. Mumu was putting on her best smile and greeting people as they came in.
"Oie, Mumu!" Gafan called. Mumu walked to the counter. "Coming!" she said, her high healed shoes clacking. "Here you go, four drinks to table five." He said placing the drinks on a tray for her. "And a brandy for table four."
"Okie dokie." She said cherrily. She picked up the tray and walked to the table. "Here you go." She said handing out the drinks. She picked up the tip they gave her and she walked to the next table to deliver the other drink. At that moment, Jack walked in through the door. Mumu stopped dead in her tracks the moment she saw him. Her face instantly got red. Jack didn't see her among the dim lights of the bar and walked up to the counter to take a seat. She suddenly remembered what she was supposed to be doing and went to table four. She heard Gafan talking to Jack.
"…so you moved in from the city huh?" Gafan asked him. Jack nodded while taking a sip of his drink.
"Yeah. It's much different here." He said Gafan laughed. "I bet." He said. "Why, little Mumu herself moved here from the city a few months ago."
"Mumu?" Jack asked with interest. Mumu was now covering her face with the tray. Several people were looking at her strangely.
"Yeah, she's a bartender here. A very nice gal. Hey Mumu!" Gafan said. "Mumu come over here." Mumu reluctantly lowered the tray and walked over to the counter. "Jack, this here is Mumu." Gafan said gesturing to Mumu. Mumu gave as shy smile. Jack smiled broadly back.
"Yeah, we've met." Jack said, not taking his eyes off of her. Gafan was surprised.
"Really? When?" he asked.
"Today." Mumu answered. Gafan looked from Mumu to Jack and back. Gafan coughed and they quickly turned away from each other. "Uh, I bedda' get back ta' work."
"Aw, hog wash Mumu, you deserve a night off." Gafan said smiling. "Just relax for tonight." Mumu blinked.
"Really?" she asked. Gafan nodded. "Well,….ok!" she said with a grin. She placed the tray on the counter.
"Uh, Mumu?" Jack said. Mumu looked at him. "Since you have the night off, do you want to maybe take a walk with me?" He was blushing a bit now. She smiled warmly at him.
"Sure." She said. Jacks heart fluttered in his chest. They walked around the towns main street for a while, not saying anything to each other. They reached the end of the street and turned around, heading back to the bar. Jack glanced at Mumu ever so often. Her bright green eyes shinned brightly in the moonlight. She's very different from Sepilia, Jack thought to himself, she's very shy, but very friendly, and she's from the city like me. Sepilia was another girl Jack new. She was good friends with the botanist where he got his seeds from, and they were good friends as well.
Mumu's voice broke his train of thought.
"Jack? Jack!" she said tapping him gently on his head. Jack turned red.
"Uh, pardon?" Jack asked.
"I said, were back at tha' bar now." She was smiling. Indeed they were right at the front of the bar.
"Oh, right." He said. "Well, it was a very nice running into you again." He turned to go.
"Uh, well, will I see ya around some time?" Mumu asked hopefully. Jack frowned slightly.
"Well, actually I'm very busy at the farm at the moment and…, well, I can't really promise anything." He looked at her apologetically.
"Oh…" she said a little disappointed. She then put on a quick fake smile. "But it's ok. I mean, your farm must be very important an all. Don't worry about it." And in a smaller voice, "but come if ya' get tha' chance k'?" She gave him her sweetest smile.
"Y-yeah! You bet!" he said with difficulty. He was currently tongue-tied. He watched her walk into the bar. He began walking back to the farm. He shook his head, grinning broadly to himself. Definitely not like Sepilia, he thought to himself.
Back in Mumu's room, she had already changed into her night-clothes and was sitting on her bed. She had her hair up in several curlers and was daintily painting her fingernails without much success because her mind was on something else. Jack. She sighed dreamily while adding some more polish. "Jack sure is bedda' then tha' guys back at town." She blushed to herself. "And I hope when he's done with all his chores, that he'll come ta' the bar again, I mean, I didn't even get the chance ta' thank the poor guy. I bedda' do that tommora'." She nodded to herself, satisfied at the decision and got ready for bed.
