The True Harvest Moon story- Chapter 1 Part 2

After we got out of the Blacksmith's Ann decided to go to the winery. On the way there I asked her some questions.

"Hey Ann, who was that old man who kept on yelling at Gray?" I asked.

"Oh, that was Saibara, Gray is his grandson and apprentice."

"Does he always yell at him like that…" I asked.

"Sometimes but, not always." Ann said.

When we got to the winery there was a man outside picking grapes off some vines.

"Hey Ann, who is that with you." The man asked.

"Duke, this is Claire." Ann said looking back at me. "Can we go inside and see Manna?" Ann asked.

"Sure it doesn't matter to me." Duke said shrugging his shoulders.

We walked into the winery to see a lady maybe 30 or 40.

"Hello do you need something for you dad today Ann?" Manna asked.

"Nah Not today, I actually wanted you to meet Claire." Ann said looking at me.

"Hi." I said.

"Well we have to go ya'no places to go things to do." Ann said walking out the store.

"See you two around!" Manna said.

When we got out of the winery Ann turned and looked at me. "Hey, Claire I have to go." Ann said.

"What! I don't know where anything is you have to stay!" I yelled.

"Here, I have a map with me you can have it." Ann said giving me a map. "See ya!" Ann said walking away.

I stood in spot for a minute or two then walked off opening the map.

Now let's see… The library is pretty close by. I thought walking in the direction of the library. When I got inside of the library a girl with glasses greeted me.

"Hi, did you come here to read a book." She asked.

Why would anyone come all this way just to read a book?! I thought. "Ahhhh… no." I said. "I was just finding my way around."

"Oh, well come by again sometime to read, by the way my name is Mary." She said.

Mary… I thought. I'll remember to put that name on my HIT list… (She does not really have a hit list.) Then I saw her parents sitting at a table. "Hello." I said.

"Hello my name is Anna, pleased to meet you." The woman said.

"And I am Basil, stop by if you to read anything." The man said.

"Okay." I said walking out the door. I wonder how two normal parents can have a stupid child… I thought as I walked to the house next door. When a walked inside I saw a old lady in a rocker and a little boy playing with a car sitting on the ground.

"Who are you!" The little boy asked excitedly.

"I'm Claire, I am moving into the farm." I said.

"Oh, I am Stu and this is my grandma Ellen!" The little boy said.

"Hello." Ellen said.

"Well… I should be going." I said opening the door and walking out. Well… that was a bit awkward… I thought. Then I walked into the Mayor's house and saw a policeman a very small man with a red top hat.

"Hello I am the girl that is moving into the farm." I said.

"Ahh, Claire I assume." The Mayor said. "I hope you like our town so far."

"It's okay." I said.

"Well… My name is Thomas and this is my son Harris." The Mayor said.

"Hello." Harris.

"Well, I gotta go so ,Bye" I said walking out the door. Now I have to go in the general store. I thought.

I walked into the general store and saw a very timid man standing behind a counter. I also saw a girl that looked about my age and a woman that had blond hair in a bun.

"Hello." I said.

"Hello, I am Karen and this is my mom Sasha and my dad Jeff." The girl said.

"H-hel-llo." Jeff said.

"Hi." Sasha said.

"Well… it was nice to meet you but, I have to go." I said leaving.

I went into the clinic and introduced myself to Elle and Dr. Trent and on my way out I saw my uncle Carter.

"Uncle, How have you been?" I asked.

"I have been fine." He replied. "Actually I wanted to ask you something."

"Huh… What is it.?" I asked.

"Can you cheer this person up, he seems to be sad." Carter asked.

"Sure, I guess." I said.

We walked into the church and I saw a boy with a brown pony-tail over his shoulder and he had a sad look on his face. I sat down by him.

"Hey, what's your name?" I asked him.

"Cliff….." He said quietly.

"What's wrong with you, you really need to not seem so glum if you keep that up than no one will like you." I said. He stared at me for a while.

"What, I said the truth…" I said.

"I guess your right." Cliff said.

"I knew I was right you just need to cheer up a bit okay." I said.

"Okay." Cliff said a little more cheerful.

"I gotta go see you later." I said getting up.

"Nice job." My uncle said on my way out.

"You owe me big time." I said closing the church door.

I met Ann on my way out. "Finally you can help me." I said.

"Okay, I was going to go show to your farm." Ann said.

"Sure~!" I said excitedly.

When we got there I was shocked the place looked unstable. I was afrid if I touched something the place would fall to the ground. "Ann, I can't live here!" I exclaimed.

"We could get Gotz to fix it and you could stay at the inn." Ann said.

So me and Ann started to walk to Gotz's house. I met him and asked him to fix my farm.

"That will be 5,000 Gold." Gotz said.

I quickly handed over 5,000 Gold.

"It'll be ready in 3 days." Gotz said.

We left there and started walking to the inn. By the time we got there it was pit black outside.

I sat at one of the tables trying to get the circulatinon running in my legs again.(I had been walking all day.)

"Where am I going to sleep ?" I asked.

"Um… well…" Ann started to say.

Want to know what Ann is about to say stay for the next chapter to see.

Chapter 2 will be out soon.
