Hey, all. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually writing fanfiction again. Shocking isn't it? This story, as you may already know is based on Harvest Moon: A wonderful life Special Edition and told from the new eligible bride, Lumina's, pov. Note: Lumina is not an oc. She is actually in the game. I might add info about her in another chappie if people seem confused. So, yeah. Just wrote this really quick/for fun. Oh, and one more thing. In my game I named the main farming character Ryuu. Now, without further, annoying, pre-chapter note adu, I'm proud to present the first chapter (which is kind of more like the prologue). Enjoy!

Living up in a huge mansion with my grandmother and her butler in a tiny oceanside town, I used to get lonely. It wasn't that I didn't have any friends. Every now and then I would go to visit Kassey and Patrick, the pyrotechnic twins. They're a lot of fun. No, I was most lonely when I was alone in the villa. When my grandmother, or Auntie Romana as she insists I call her, was out on a walk and her butler, Sebastian, was in his room and I was stuck indoors practicing piano. Those were my most miserable days. Well, they were, anyway.

I can easily trace all the changes and things that happened to me back to one day. It was the first day of my second spring in Forget-me-not valley. I was downstairs practicing a cheery waltz on the piano. I kept making mistakes and having to start over but my audience, the three cats who lived at the villa, didn't seem to mind. Auntie Romana and Sebastian were in her room. Everything was very peaceful.

All of the sudden, there was a bang as my Auntie Romana came bustling out of her room with Sebastian at her heals. She looked, if possible, even more dressed up than she normally did. I quickly noticed that she had put on some of the old jewelry that my grandfather had given her long ago and that she had added an extra layer of makeup to her face. Grateful for the distraction, I turned on the piano bench to face her.

"You look nice, Auntie," I commented. It is usually best to start conversations with my grandmother off with a compliment. "Are you going somewhere?"

My grandmother spared me a quick glance. "Lumina, dear, please go change your shirt," she said before returning to her monologue to Sebastian.

"Why?" I asked, surprised. "What's going-" But, before I could finish my hurried question there was a knock on the manor's large, carved double doors.

"Oo, they're here!" My grandmother exclaimed and went to answer the door.

Though still slightly annoyed, I stood up and stretched. Whatever was happening, I would find out what it was soon enough. In one swift movement I scooped up one of my grandmother's cats, the orange striped one, and went to stand with Sebastian and Auntie Romana. Sebastian swung the doors open and we all stepped outside.

There were two men waiting to greet us: Takakura, the man who lived on the old farm across the river from Vesta's, and someone I hadn't met. He was much younger than Takakura, only a little older than me. He had rather messy brown hair and was wearing farm clothes. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Takakura stepped forward.

"Good afternoon Miss Romana," he began politely. "I'd like you to meet Ryuu," he indicated the other man, who waved a little. "He's going to be working on the farm. Ryuu, this is Miss Romana, Sebastian, Miss Lumina, and…" he trailed off looking pointedly at me.

All eyes suddenly fell on me. It took me a moment to realize that they were all staring at the ginger cat in my arms. "Oh," I blushed. "This is Leo."

The tension eased. Auntie Romana asked Takakura something while Ryuu continued watching Leo. "He's cute. May I?"

"Sure," I glowed. I love it when people like our cats.

He moved a little closer and gently relieved me of Leo. The cat only seemed unsettled for a moment then he had snuggled up against the boy's chest and started to purr. I couldn't help but giggle.

It took me another moment to realize that everyone was looking at us again. "Well, we'd better go," Takakura said.

"Sorry," Ryuu murmured and returned Leo to me. "Some other time."

I didn't honestly expect him to come back to the villa just to see the cats. We weren't exactly next door to his farm but I smiled all the same. "That sounds nice."

I watched Takakura and him walk back down the paved walkway that led back to town feeling sad and lonely again. Little did I know, I would be seeing Ryuu again sooner than I thought.

"Lumina, come back inside. You need to finish practicing."

I'm no good at writing in first person, so if my grammar slipped at one point or another, I apologize. As always, all reviews are read and appreciated (no flames, tho). Thanks for reading! 'Till next time, adieu!
