P.S. I do not own Harvest Moon. This is another fanfic of mine. Enjoy!

I sat down on the chair with my chest leaning on the desk, though I seldom do it I felt as if I did this everyday.

"Gill!" I turned my head and looked at my co-worker Elli. I arched an eyebrow with curiosity. "What's the problem Elli?" "Did you know that there is going to be a new resident who is going to run Tailwind Ranch?" A new rancher? Probably fooled by my father's lame brochure; the moment he finds out, he's off re-packing his bags. Elli squealed like the girl she was, "Omigosh! I wonder how she's like? I hope she would be nice!" She? It was either Elli used wrong vocabulary or she was dead serious. If she was right after all, the more possibilities that she would leave the island for good.

The town hall doors slowly opened, to see a stout old man smiling like a maniac. "Gill, there you are! Have you seen the new rancher? She just arrived! Go and introduce yourself!" Oh great, one of the least favorite things I would do was introducing myself to the new people in town. From behind my father stood a girl, probably my age appear from my father's back. Short brown hair and amber eyes. "Gill, Elli, this is the new farmer, Akari."Akari gave a simple response. "Hey." When she said that little greeting, Gill knew from the start and with that look in her eyes… Everything wouldn't be the same again…

He couldn't predict if that was a good or bad thing…
