Chapter 1

The sun shone vividly on the first day of the New Year in Mineral Town. A new resident had come to inherit the dilapidated farm in the southern region of the small town. A girl, slender, came walking unto the large farm looking at it with awe. She seemed be 19 or 20, still so young. The Mayor of Mineral Town, in the middle of his walk around town and saw the girl on the old farm, thinking she was trespassing he yelled, "HEY! You! Stop! That isn't your property!"

The girl turned around, looking confused and replied, "Yes it is. This is my property now; I won that contest, I'm from the city…"

The mayor looked at her, stared her straight in her blue eyes, "Well if truly is, then what is your name?" He had the

"Jill."

The Mayor's face lit up. He gave Jill a warm smile and shook his hand. "Well Congrats Girl! This farm is all yours! And as Mayor, I welcome you to Mineral Town! There are his old tools in the tool box in your new house. I think you'll like it here once you get used to the people and such! Well, I'm off to continue my walk!" And he left without allowing Jill to say a single word.

Jill sighed, tired from the trip, not wanting to do any work today, she decided to go up and explore her new home. She went to the south side of his farm, passing what seemed to be the chicken coop and continued through to the forest. Passing a wooden cabin, she went up. There were more farms up this way, a cattle farm and a chicken farm. People went through the streets giving him odd looks, not knowing who she was. It was very awkward for her being in a new town filled with strangers. She hoped she could find some one to befriend.
