Author's note: Hi everyone! I doubt anyone remembers me but I used to write a story on here called "A New Life". Well I got sick of writing that, and decided to start on a new Harvest Moon story. This is going to be about Harvest Moon 3, which is for gameboy. Please read it, even if you haven't played the game. I am only basing it on the game, not novelizing it. I won't spoil any parts for anyone. This game is almost two seperate games, one for girls and one for boys. I am going to write it from both the point of view of the boy and the point of view of the girl. You'll be able to tell which point of view it's from. After you are done reading, please review. I like to know what you think about my stories. Thank you!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Harvest Moon related. I do, however, own this peice of writing. :)


The Story of Us


Part 1 (Sara)

Hiding behind a tree was where I was all during my father's funeral. I just couldn't bear the thought of watchin' him bein' placed into the ground. He was too young. Everyone else in that cemetary seemed about 100 years old when they were placed in the ground. Why my daddy?

He was a good man. He worked hard on his farm, all by himself. My mama died when I was very young. He worked hard to raise me too. All by himself. He did a good job of raisin' me too, or at least that's what everyone in town said. I think I turned out okay... but... now I'm all alone...

They're placing his casket into the ground now. Everyone is standing in a circle around it, just watchin'. Some of them were even cryin'. Everyone liked my daddy, but no one knew him the way I did. He was also so kind, so gentle. He ain't never hurt a soul.

He's buried now. Everyone has said their prayers, some have started to walk away. I can't believe his own daughter didn't come to the funeral, I heard someone say. I didn't wanna be there. That's the reason. Not out in the open, where everyone can see me. They'll wanna know why I ain't cryin'. It's because I can't do anymore cryin'. I'm all cried out. I'm all alone now. Now I gotta figure out what's gunna happen to me. I've got no place to go now. Just my daddy's farm...

A few days later I heard about Hans, our town's mayor, talking with the town officials. They believed it would be best to sell my daddy's farm. Like hell it was! That was my only home. I barged right in on their meeting and told that fatty that he couldn't take away my daddy's farm. I told him I'd do whatever it took to keep it, even if I had to work on it by myself.

It's not as easy as you think, he said. No shit, ya blubbergut, is what I really wanted to say to him. Instead I kept my mouth closed and just nodded my head. I was real angry, somebody took my daddy, and I wasn't about to let them take my daddy's farm too!

You still want to do it for your father? I can understand how you feel but... , he just trailed off. He doesn't know how I feel. I heard his daddy lived to be a 100. His daddy wasn't taken from him when he was young. We'll have to discuss this with the Elder, Sara, he finally said. Then I was taken out of the mayor's house by one of the officials.

I was still angry. If they took away my farm I dun know what I would do. I guess the only thing ta do is just wait....
