Hello Everyone. This is my first time writing a story about Harvest Moon despite being a fan for many many years. Nami is my favourite bachelorette in any HM game and I feel like she is so much character that can be explored. I particular like her in Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This story is about Nami and the main character as they fall in love. Some things you might recognise from the game but others are things I have added in. I hope you enjoy and PLEASE Review! Thank You. This first chapter is boring but it is just the opening to the story. Also the first chapter as it is the introduction will be in 3rd person but the rest of the story will be in 1st person.

PS: Mark is the default name for the protagonist in A Wonderful Life.

The Forgotten ones

Chapter 1 – A New Beginning

Mark walked off the boat breathing in the fresh air. The air was so different from the city. It was fresh and calming. Mark walked the short distance to meet his father's old friend Takakura. Today was the first day of Mark's new life. He was taking over his late father's old farm. His father had passed away two years previously and now the farm was empty. He felt excited with this new adventure he was about to face but nervous too as farming was something he had never done before. Mark looked around as Takakura showed him around the farm he tried to remember where everything is and what it does. After the tour Takakura told him he was going to introduce him to the villagers that lived in Forget- Me-Not –Valley.

The first people they met lived in a grand villa with a fountain outside and it was clear to Mark from this that they were wealthy. Romana, her granddaughter Lumina and their servant Sebastian lived here. Down the path there were two houses. The first lived a family. Wally, his wife Chris and their young son Hugh. Next to them lived an elderly couple Nina and Galen. There was also a scientist called Daryl. A musician Gustafa and twin brothers Patrick and Kassey who made fireworks as well as an artist Cody who all lived on another side of the Valley.

In the blue bar they met Griffin who was in charge and Muffy who helped him run the bar. Mark could not help noticing that Muffy kept eyeing him. She was very pretty with blonde curls and green eyes. She was wearing a tight fitting red dress with a blue cardigan and high heels as well as a black headband in her hair. However Mark did not feel any attraction. The way she looked at him made him feel uneasy and he was glad when they finally left.

Down the path across the bridge was another farm. Vesta and her younger brother Marlin worked here as well as Celia. Celia had brown eyes and wore a green jumper with a grey skirt that had a green trim at the bottom. Over that she wore a brown chequered apron with a pair of brown shoes she also had an orange bandana in her long brown hair. Mark could tell Celia was very kind and sweet. She had a nature about her that made you feel at ease. However, he knew he could only view her as a friend. Mark had never being in love but he wanted to feel the spark he had heard off and so far he hadn't. At the top of the hill was a dig site where Carter and his assistant Flora lived.

Takakura had saved what was the largest building for last... It was an inn. Inside were Tim and his wife Ruby who ran the inn. Mark took too them straight away they were lovely and caring just like a motherly and fatherly figure. They also had a son, Rock. Mark could already tell this guy was irritating in the five minutes he spoke to him he spoke about himself and his hair. Mark wondered how this could possibly be the son of Ruby and Tim.

"Let me introduce you to our Lodger wait here" Ruby smiled before walking up a small flight of stairs. However she came back a few minutes later alone.

"Sorry, our lodger is really shy, she doesn't find it easy to talk to people, I am sure you will see her around though" she said with a kind smile.

I smiled back. This Lodger sounded like Celia. Not that being shy or like Celia was a bad thing but I couldn't help but sigh. It didn't look like I would find what I was looking for after all. Or that is what I thought but that all changed later that day..
