Disclaimer- Still don't own Harvest Moon. Darn.

(Bob)-thinking.

" Bob."- Speaking.

Chapter One

" So Nami, how have you been?" Haley asked; it wasn't every day that Nami popped up in Flower Bud Village.

Nami shrugged as she sipped on her grape soda. (A/N: I forgot what kind of drinks Doug sells at the Perch Inn. My bad, if you know what he sells, please email me so I can change it. Much thanks!) " Not so bad I guess; I got a new job."

Haley smirked. Nami, with a job, ha, now there's a surprise. " Really? What's the job?"

Nami glanced at Haley before downing the rest of her soda. " Weather Girl, I'm the new weather girl."

Haley stared at Nami before she burst out laughing. " You're the new Weather Girl? Ha, ha! Whew," She wiped a tear from her eye. " I'm good now."

" Well, it puts money on the table, so I'm okay with it. And besides, it's not like I have to do a lot. I just read my lines and I'm done." Nami shrugged. " It's not that bad I suppose." She turned and smirked at Haley. " It's better than serving food and drinks at some Inn."

Haley smiled and grabbed Nami's cup off the counter. " Yeah, you're right. But, its not all that bad working here either." She picked up a soapy rag out of the sink to scrub the dirty cup with. " I've made some friends here, and there are tones of things to do on my time off, so I'm content living here, even if I'm just serving food and drinks at some Inn."

Nami chuckled before pushing herself up and out of her seat. Haley saw this and dropped the cup back into the sink. " Leaving already Nami?" She asked as Nami slung her orange rucksack back over her shoulder.

She sighed and slowly nodded. " Yeah, it takes me a bit of time to make it back to the city. I'll be back next Saturday though. Guess I'll see you then, huh?"

" Yeah, see you then. Will you be here for the beach festival?" Haley asked as she walked Nami to the exit. " You're always here for the beach festival."

Nami nodded, still halfway in the doorframe. " I always come for the beach festival, don't know what it is about it that intrigues me, but I like it."

" Are you sure it's not all the guys that are shirtless and dripping wet? Oh, and some even wear Speedos!" Haley joked.

Nami rolled her eyes. " Oh, that's exactly why I come, let me tell you." She smirked. " Who doesn't want to see a whole lot of shirtless guys in Speedos." She joked back.

" Yeah," Haley sighed, with a smile still firmly planted on her face. " Guys in Speedos are hott."

Nami chuckled before waving goodbye to Haley. " I'll see you next Saturday." She called over her shoulder as she walked away.

Haley waved back, as she watched Nami slowly walk away. " I'll see you next Saturday." Haley whispered sadly. (Why does Saturday have to be so far away?) She sighed and gingerly walked back over to the sink. (I totally lied to Nami when she was over here… I haven't really made any real friends here, just acquaintances. The only real friends that I have here is Maria, Gwen and Ann. And Gwen doesn't really count; she's just my cousin!) She frowned before picking the cup up back out of the water. She stared at the cup in her hand before she sighed and dropped it back into the sink.

" GWEN!" She hollered up stairs. (A/N: Let's just say that there's an upstairs where Doug, Gwen and Haley sleep, ok?) " I'M GOING OUT FOR A WALK!" She waited for a reply, but Gwen never answered back.

Haley frowned and walked over to the staircase. " Gwen?" She looked upstairs but it was dark, and no lights were on. Her frown deepened. No lights upstairs meant that both Gwen and Doug weren't upstairs, and since she was the only one downstairs; she figured that both of them had left a while ago. (They must've left while Nami and I were chatting…hmm…I wonder where they disappeared off too.)

Haley shrugged before grabbing the keys from the junk drawer. (They each have a set of keys for themselves, so it wont hurt if I lock up the place and go for a little walk.) She stared at the keys in her hands before jingling them and walking out of the Inn.

She was about halfway to the beach when she noticed a big crowd gathered at the main square. She squinted her eyes, and sure enough, there was Gwen and Doug, standing in the middle of the crowd.

" What the," She mumbled to herself before re-directing herself away from the beach and forward towards the crowd in the main square. " Gwen! Doug!"

Doug and Gwen turned their heads and glanced at Haley as she approached them. " What's up?" Gwen asked as Haley shoved her way through the crowd towards them.

" What are you guys doing, no wait, what is the whole town doing out here, in the middle of the night no less." Haley asked, breathing heavily.

" Well," Doug started. " There's a new farmer here, apparently the Mayor's add in the paper about the Exciting New Ranch Plan caught his attention and he moved on down here."

"Yeah," Gwen turned around. " He's going to move into that old house by the ocean!"

" Oh, lovely." Haley frowned. The ocean was her place to go when she wanted to be alone, and now she was going to have to share it with some new city boy, great, just great. Her life couldn't get any better, note the sarcasm there folks.

SG99- Well here's my new story, since no one reviewed my last 2, I've decided to try once more. So review! I'm hoping for 5 or more reviews before I update, and for my loyal fans who read Married to Him, chapter 11(I think?) is on the way.
