This is my first fan-fic and I'm not sure how well it turned out... I'm a big fan of Harvest Moon (which i do not own so don't put any copyright infrigments and stuff on this) and decided to write this fan-fic. Anyways, the chapters are going to be a bit short (only 1000 - 2000 words each chapter) but it gives me modivation to continue when I finish one chapter (and yes my mind is a bit messed up so if you don't get that i understand). Anyways, please enjoy!

Meeting For the First Time

I look back at the large, bustling city before getting on the small blue bus. My dark brown ponytail swung back and forth slightly as I walk down the tiny aisle to the back row and sit down beside a man in a suit. My blue eyes looked down at my hands that rested on my blue jeans. My light brown (almost beige) short sleeved jacket was bugging me a bit and I pull at it slightly. This bus was heading for a small town where I hope I can create a new, simple life. But I only have enough money to stay for three seasons so I will need to find a job quickly. It was spring second today and the lush green grass has multi-coloured flowers sprouting out of it. Snow had littered the ground just yesterday and now the sun was shining and the air was warm.

The bus stopped two hours later just outside of Mineral Town. Mineral Town was so small that no one had cars, they just walked around town. So the bus had to stop at the street just outside the town. I walk down the dirt path and ended up behind a church. A man with blond hair and brown eyes was watering some wild flowers. He was wearing a black priest robe so I assume he is the priest of the church. "Hello," I say as I walk over to the man. "Hello, who are you?" the priest asks as he looks up at me. "My name is Cliff and I'm going to be staying at the Inn here," Cliff replies and gestures to his brown suitcase. "It's very nice to meet you. I'm Carter, the priest here in Mineral Town. Would you like me to show you to the Inn?" Carter asks curiously. "That would be great, thanks," I reply with a smile as Carter leads me into the church.

We walk through the Church and then down a southern road and then down a western road. Carter stopped in front of a large building. "This is the Inn, I'm sure Doug and Ann will have a room available, they don't get much people staying there," Carter says before heading back towards the Church. "Thanks," I call to him before heading inside. A girl with an orange braid and blue eyes looks over at me. "Hello, are you new in town?" the girl asks happily. She's wearing a yellow shirt under blue jean overalls. "Yeah, I'm looking for a place to stay. The priest said that this was the Inn," I reply. "Yep, this is the Inn alright! Is it okay that you'll be sharing a room with someone?" Ann asks nervously. She obviously wasn't sure if I'd be okay with that or not. "Yeah, it's fine," I nod and Ann leads me upstairs and down a hallway to the second (and last) door.

"You'll be sharing this room with a guy named Gray," Ann says happily. "And the pays for the room are every Sunday." I watch her leave me before I head into the room and place my suitcase on the floor by a table. There are three beds in the room and the farthest one is unmade so I assume that's Gray's bed. I lie down on the closest bed and stare up at the ceiling. Tomorrow I'll start looking for a job, but for now I will relax. I glance over at the clock on the wall and it says it's almost five thirty. I should probably head down to the bar for dinner in about half an hour.

A few minutes later the door to the room opens and a guy walks in. He's wearing a blue cap and white outfit. His blond hair barely shows through under his hat and his blue eyes are shadowed by the rim. "Ann told me I had a roommate. Hi, I'm Gray," Gray says as he looks over at me. "Hey, I'm Cliff," I say happily and smile at him. Gray only scowls and goes over to his bed. He pulls out a suitcase from under it and starts to go through it. I don't really know what he's looking for, but it isn't really any of my business so I just stare up at the ceiling again.

The silence lasts for about three minutes before I hear Gray mutter angrily and shut his suitcase. "Did you lose something?" I ask curiously. "Just this necklace I was going to give to someone…" Gray mutters unhappily. "Anyways, it's about dinner time. We should probably head down and see what Doug made." I get up off the bed and follow Gray out of the room and downstairs.

A man with orange hair, mustache, and beard was standing behind the bar. "Hi, Gray. Hungry?" the man asks with a smile. "And you must be Cliff. I'm Doug, Ann's father and the owner of the Inn." "Nice to meet you," I say in return and sit down beside Gray at the bar. "I supply breakfast and dinner here but you're going to have to get your own lunch every day. The super market is just north of here," Doug says as he gets out two plates of curry. "Okay, and thanks," I say as I dig into the food. Gray also eats; his face is a blank mask without emotion. I wonder if he's always like this or if he just doesn't like me for some reason.

After we finish dinner Gray leaves the Inn, I'm not really sure where he's going but I don't ask. I hang around the bar a bit longer and around eight o'clock a few people start to show up. A girl with brown hair with long blond bangs and green eyes shows up and introduces herself as Karen. An older man with black hair also shows up and says his name is Duke and I find out he works at the Winery. The three of us hang out and drink for a few hours before they head home and I head upstairs to bed. Gray still wasn't back so I turned off the lights and curled into my bed.

I can't fall asleep right away so I stare over at the window. The moonlight makes shadows across the room and I listen to my steady heartbeat. A half hour later I'm just about to fall asleep when the door opens slowly. I hear the door click shut and then footsteps shuffle over to the bed closest to the window. Obviously Gray was back. My head is mostly covered with my blanket so he can't tell that I'm really awake. I watch as he strips down to his boxers and then crawl into bed. His blond hair is ruffled from having his hat on all day and it shines in the moonlight.

I can't help but think that he looks handsome but I shake the thought away. I was tired and weird thoughts were coming to my mind. I should probably get some sleep so that I'll be ready to look for a job in the morning.
