I'm glad you guys like this story. Now onto the next chapter, aka this one.

WARNING: MORE CHARACTER BASHING AHEAD! Some of the story and a lot of the dialogue changed too.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN RUNE FACTORY OR ITS CHARACTERS! I do own character personality changes though.

The next morning the young man woke up to singing birds in the sky. Smiling, Micah jumped out of bed and ran outside and took a deep breath of air. "Good morning world! I, Micah Raguna Takeshita, am ready for the world!"

Just then a bird dropping landed in front of him just as he was about to take a step. He glared at the bird and carefully stepped over it. Once he left his plot of land, he saw Shara. She waved him over. "Micah, you're up early."

"Yeah. The early worm catches the worm."

"Um…I believe it's the early bird catches the worm."

"I know, but that's what me and my dad say." Micah yawned.

"Well since you're new here and everything, I want you to go around and meet everyone else!"

"What?"

"Don't worry. Everyone's pretty nice here. After you meet everyone, come back to the flower shop and I'll give you something." she said cheerfully and giggled.

"Oh…uh…okay then." Micah laughed nervously at her and slowly back away. "See ya."

Shara nodded and went into the flower shop. Micah looked around and sighed. 'I'd better get started.'

Suddenly his stomach started to growl. Oh that was right. He hadn't eaten anything yet. He looked around until he found a restaurant. He drooled as the smell of ham and eggs filled his nose. He felt as if his stomach was about to eat itself, thus punishing the blonde for torturing it with the sweet smells of the delicious aroma. He quickly ran into the restaurant, sat down, and started reading the menu. So much food, so many choices!

"Man what should I have first? Freshly cut ham? Toast with over 13 types of butter and 20 types of jam? Scrambled eggs…oh great Caesar, I'm in heaven!" he stopped himself from demanding that the man taking orders hurry his ass up and take his order when he thought about his wallet. He quickly took out his wallet and pulled out his money. Yes! It was just enough! "Hey, mister! Hurry your ass up!"

"Sorry about that." apologized the waiter coming over. "Now what can I do for you…"

"Hey! We were done ordering, Blaise!" growled a richly dressed man.

"Yeah! We're still hungry, dad!" said the man's female companion.

"Oh! S-sorry!" Blaise turned back to Micah. "I'll be right back sir. Here, just write down your order and I'll get to it."

"You'd better, you old ass looking mother fucker. I'm fucking starving and your old ass is too busy worrying about fat-ass and little Miss Long Neck over there."

"H-huh?" Blaise turned back around, not sure if he heard Micah right.

"What? I didn't say anything." Micah said looking as innocent as a newborn baby.

"Oh. I thought I heard you say something." the older man shook his head and turned back to the people whose order he was taking.

After Micah had ordered his food, he tried to patiently wait for the waiter to come back and take his order, however he was still busy bringing food to the people from earlier and this caused the blonde to feel as if his stomach said fuck everything and started eating him from the inside.

"…and here you are Collette. Will that be all?"

"Yes, this is plenty!" his daughter said happily.

"No! This will not do!" the rich man said taking a bite of his food.

"I'm sorry for the long wait sir…" Blaise stopped talking when he heard Micah's stomach growl louder. "What was…"

"FOOD! NOW!" Micah shoved the paper in the man's face. "I'M EATING MYSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUT! HURRY!"

The blue haired man nodded and quickly hurried off. By the time he got back, Micah was starting to chew on the table. "Sir, please don't chew on the…"

"FOOD!" He grabbed the plate and dug in. "Sweet, sweet bliss…mmm…so good!"

"Heheh. I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Next time I have to wait this long for my food, I'm opening my own shop and putting your slow ass outta business." Micah said picking his teeth.

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me." Micah said as he placed his money on the table. "You're too slow and you took too long. I could have died from starvation. Either pick up the service or hire some people."

"HEY! DON'T TALK TO MY DAD LIKE THAT!"

"SHUT UP, BITCH, OR I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO EAT AND IT AIN'T FOOD!" The young man shook his fist at the young woman. The two glared at each other for a minute until the young man decided that putting Collette wasn't worth it and left.

"Stupid morons…I'm never going back there again…huh?" Micah noticed a pretty violet haired girl whistling down the street. Seeing his chance at romance, he hurried over. "Hi!"

"Ah! A traveler! My name's Evelyn! You're a new face around here. How long are you planning on staying?"

"For a while…I guess." Micah said trying not to see how big her breasts were. "I'm Micah by the way."

"Wait…you're staying at Shara's farm, aren't you?"

"Yeah." before he could say, "Wanna stop by some time?", she started laughing. "Why are you laughing?"

"Oh nothing." she giggled. "Any who, I hope you enjoy your stay here! Oh and watch out for Shara's little sister. She bites…oh yeah and if you see my dad and sister, make sure you remember that they speak in opposites a lot."

"Opposites?" he raised a brow.

"Yeah. They're weird like that." She laughed. "Anyway, I guess I'll see you around!"

"I think I found my lady." the blonde said to himself as he watched her walk away. "Damn that ass."

Micah decided to hurry along and meet everyone as he had heard someone say that it was about to rain. The next stop was a huge mansion. Micah had lived in a mansion once when he was younger, but his parents moved out after someone tried to kill his family by setting the house on fire. He had no clue who it was and his father promised to tell him when he got married. Shaking this thought from his head, he went inside. There was a light purple haired girl talking heading downstairs with an umbrella.

"Oh, who are you?"

"I'm Micah. I'm just here to say hi and…"

"That you're living in the Sharance tree? I don't know." she said. "I'm not Sofia."

"What nonsense are you going on about?" Micah frowned confused. Whenever he was confused, it made him a little angry and it would bother him until figured it out.

"I would expect you to understand." Sofia chuckled softly.

"I don't understand." he frowned.

"Stop speaking all that nonsense, Sofia!" Evelyn growled at her sister. "Nobody is ever going to understand with the way you and dad speak in opposites. It's stupid and lame."

"Well excuse me. I can help it." said the young woman.

Her older sister sighed. "You are something, you know that right? I'll see you later. You too, Micah."

"Well I'm just going to leave now. Nice to meet you." the blonde man started to leave, but then Sherman, the girls' father came in.

"Good morning, my ugly daughters!"

"Good morning dad!" said Sofia, cheerfully. "Have you met Micah yet?"

"I have." he turned to Micah. "How are you, old man? My name's not Sherman."

"Stop speaking in opposite!" yelled Evelyn from her room.

"I'm fine." Micah said hoping that he wouldn't keep him for long.

"That's bad. Sofia, Pia told me that you left your purple purse at the hot springs and not to pick it up from Shino."

"Oh! I wasn't wondering where it was! I'll go get it right now!" Sofia kissed her father's cheek and left.

"I guess I'd better get going. Good-bye." Micah left the mansion and shook his head. So far, everyone he met was kind of weird or ticked him off with the exception of Evelyn and (somewhat) Shara. Other that, Micah's exceptions weren't that high for the rest of the town.

The next place he stopped by was the medical shop. He had good memories of his grandmother's clinic. He remembered playing doctor and wrapping up the patients in bandages and mixing up potions and antidotes. Nobody ever got mad at him when he did so because he was the baby of the family. Luckily for his grandmother, he turned to fortune telling like his mother.

"Hey! You sick? Need medicine? Well I got something for you!" a blue haired girl said popping up into Micah's face out of nowhere. She smirked and pointed a large needle like thing at his face. "This might hurt a bit! I wouldn't know though. I've never used it before!"

"Wah-what?! Get that thing away from me!"

"MARIAN!" an old witch pulled her granddaughter away from Micah, thankfully. "What I have I told you about using trying to use that thing on people!?"

"But he needs it!" Marian pouted.

"No I don't!" the young man growled.

"You heard him Marian. Leave the young man be."

"Fine." she put it away and walked off, disappointed.

"I'm so sorry about that, Micah. She gets a little too over excited when she shouldn't be."

"Thanks for helping me out there…wait…how do you…"

The old woman laughed. "Who doesn't know about you now? Shara told me that we had someone living in the Sharance tree now. I hope you'll take good care of it. That tree has been in this town for plenty of years now. No need for something bad to be happening to it now, but you look like a nice young man."

"Thanks…I guess. Uh…" he looked over towards the room where Marian was. "So is she…"

"...going to be here every time you come here?" the old woman nodded. "'fraid so. That's my granddaughter, Marian. She wants to take after me. If only she wasn't so keen on pocking people with that thing of her's…if you're uncomfortable with her giving you medicine, come to me alright?"

"Sure thing. What's your name again? I don't think you told me."

"Marjorie."

Micah nodded and thanked the old woman. Where to now? Micah continued walking until he reached the ocean. "Wow! Look at all this water!"

"I know right! Plenty of fish too." Micah turned to see a young lady fishing not too far from where he was. "You Micah?"

"Yeah."

"I'm Carmen. You like fish?"

"Fish? Hell yeah! I love fish! My mom…I mean…yeah! Love me some fish!"

"Me too!" Carmen reeled in a squid. "Damn…not another stupid squid. I hate these things but Pia loves them…well loves to eat them."

"Pia?" the blonde tried not to laugh at the name. It kinda sounded like "pee".

"Yeah. She's a mermaid that works at the hot springs. Have you met her yet? You can't miss her. She has pink hair. She's weird though. She gets mad if you give her fish or even say you like eating them. I think she's a total hypocrite because I saw her eating fish once, but then again it could have been squid in the shape of fish sticks."

"I hate squid." he said as Carmen threw the squid back.

"Nice!" the green haired woman pulled out a large tuna. "Me and Carlos are eating good tonight!"

"Who's Carlos? I-is that your boyfriend or something?!" Micah looked around worried.

"Boyfriend? EW GROSS! THAT'S MY BROTHER!"

"Really?"

"Here he comes now."

"You caught anything good, sis?" Carlos asked his little sister.

"Yeah! I got a huge tuna fish." Carmen showed him her fish.

"Nice catch!" Carlos noticed a shocked Micah. "Who's this?"

"This is Micah. You know, the guy from Shara's place."

"Oh THAT Micah! Nice to meet ya, dude."

"Nice to meet you too. Your muscles are huge!"

"Thanks man. I work out a lot." he started posing. "Super sexy huh?"

"I guess." Micah pouted. 'Damn. I bet he's got all the bitches on his dick…except his sister.'

"Maybe we can work out together and maybe just maybe you can get muscles almost as big as me."

"Oh don't start on about your muscles, Carl."

"Oh come on! He's gotta know the story! How else is he gonna get some inspiration about…"

"Oh look at the time! I gotta go met everyone, so I can get back to Shara. See ya! Bye!"

"See what you did?! You chased him off!"

"Me?! That was you, with your 'Nobody wants to hear about your stupid sexy muscles Carlos!'"

"I never said that!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too…"

Micah breathed with relief after leaving the beach. That was unusual. Shrugging it off, he went into the grocery store. The cashier was sleeping at the register. Frowning, he poked her. She waved her hand, making a shooing motion at Micah. "Hey! Wake up!"

"We're closed! Come back later!" she mumbled.

"Fine." he was about to leave when he heard a voice from upstairs. "Karina!"

"Crap." Karina sighed.

"What are you doing?! Are you sleeping?" her mother growled.

Her daughter shrugged causing the woman to glare at her. "Karina, you're always doing this! You're being mighty irresponsible lately and…"

Karina rolled her eyes and left. "HEY COME BACK HERE AND…oh forget it. How can I help you?"

"I'm just here for some groceries." Micah reassured her not liking the angry look in her eyes that weren't directed that him, but scared him a little bit as it reminded him of his mother. After purchasing his groceries, the woman snapped her fingers.

"Wait, you're Micah right?"

"Yep."

"I'm Hazel. I hope you come back by soon!" she then mumbled. "…and please let that lazy daughter of mine work next time."

Micah thanked her and started home. While on his way there he saw the pink haired girl going inside a hot spring. 'The mermaid! I gotta see her up close! Maybe I'll get to see some boobs!'

After quickly putting up his food in his house, he came back. Only to be greeted by a kimono wearing girl. "Hi! Welcome! Can I interest you in a room? Or maybe you would like to visit my shop with all its trinkets and…"

"Oooh! A customer!" Pia ran over and started dragging Micah over to the hot springs part of the building. "Come get in the hot springs sir. You won't regret it!"

"HEY! I saw him first, so he's mine!"

"No way! He can get a room later! He needs to relax."

The two girls glared at each other and pulled on Micah's arms. Thankfully a black haired woman came out and scolded them. "Girls! That's no way to treat a guest! Let go of him."

"Sorry." the two women let go pouting.

"Sorry about that, sir. Pia and Sakuya can get carried away."

"I understand, but I won't be needing a room or anything. I'm Micah. I stay in the tree thingy. You must be Shino."

"Correct. Evelyn mentioned that you were staying in the Sharance tree. Take care of it. Everyone loves that thing."

"So I've heard." he turned to the two girls who were still looking pretty upset about not getting Micah to themselves. "Thanks for the offer. I might come back by tomorrow."

"Really? Don't forget to stop at my shop when you come back through!" said Shino smiling.

"OR take a nice hot bath."

'Or sneak a peek at some titties…' Micah mentally giggled. As he went outside he saw a small child talking with an old man that he recognized as the same old man that wanted him tossed out.

"…and then there was this big fat, giant raccoon that…"

"Good afternoon." Micah said interrupting the pair's conversation.

"Oh good morning. You must be Micah. I'm Wells, Shara and Monica's grandfather as well as the mayor of the town."

"This must be Monica then." Micah smiled at the little girl with a non-perverted smile that he rarely did. "Hi!"

"Grrr!" She growled at Micah and showed her "claws".

"I'm sorry. Was I in your personal space?" Micah laughed nervously.

"Sorry about that. She doesn't really like strangers." Wells chuckled softly.

"Oh...well hopefully we won't be strangers for much longer." he smiled. Truth be told, Micah loved children and hoped to become a father someday. Perhaps just as good a father as his own dad.

"Grr! I'll bite you!"

"Come along, Monica. Let's go see that raccoon you were talking about."

"Okay grandpa!" as they turned and left, Monica looked back one last time and stuck her tongue out at Micah.

"Yo Shara, I think I met everyone!"

"Everyone?" Shara, who was arranging some flowers, said.

"Yep…at least I think I did."

"Tell me the names and if you missing anyone, I'll tell you." After Micah named all the people he met, she shook her head. "You missed Daria and Rusk. Don't worry. Daria should be in her house. She's an artist and a good one too."

"Oh. Where does she live?"

Shara gave the blonde some directions to her house and sent him on his way, and quickly told him where Rusk lived too. She, like Carmen and her brother, lived near the sea, but in a different part of the town. The house was splatted with paint and had some kind of frog statues around her house. The whole place said "Some crazy bitch lives here!", but for the sake for probably getting some, he went inside.

"Hello? Is anybody in…"

"HAHAHA! RAINBOW! MORE RAINBOW!" Daria laughed manically as she tossed some paint on a statue.

"Uh…h-hello?"

"Oh! A guest!" she jumped down from her stool and went over to Micah. "How are you? Name's Daria. You Micah?"

"Y-yes…" he said a little freaked out as she got in his personal space.

"Aha!" She picked up a bucket of paint that was beside Micah's feet and splashed the statue with it. "So, are you interested in art?"

"Not really!"

"GREAT! You shall be my assistant! I shall teach you the art of…well…ART! Oh and the power of RAINBOWS!"

"I never said…"

"I know you're excited about my lessons that I will be teaching you, but you must wait. I'm working on a new project right now…I call it…"

"Rainbow?"

"YES! See you're learning already!" she turned back to her statue and yelled, "RAINBOW!"

"Note to self, never come back here…EVER." he said to himself as he exited the house.

"Hey. You're Micah, right?" said a younger male as Micah was starting to leave the beach.

"Yeah. Who're you?"

"Rusk. My dad's Blaise and Collete's my sister."

"Oh…you giving me heck for your dad and sister, huh?"

"Not really." Rusk said surprising Micah. "My sister's a pig and dad…well I guess he could do better. However, he really needs to stop tending to Collete's feeding habits and tend to his customers more. Although, for some reason, nobody really minds. I wouldn't expect you to, though."

"Well I'll see you around. Nice meeting you, Husk."

"It's Rusk and I'll see you later, too. It's nice to have another boy in town. I hope we can hang out."

"Same here. You seem like a cool guy."

Micah finally went back to Shara's flower shop. "I've met everyone, including Rusk and Daria."

"Good job, Micah! Here!" she gave him a seed that looked like an easter egg.

"What the…what is this?" the blonde glared at it.

"A battle plant! Just plant it into the ground and you get an instant plant that help you in battle, but you'll have to fight a lot of monsters before it can be any help to you."

"Thanks…" he said sarcastically. Once he left, he burned it in his fire place. Fuck that chick for giving him a damn plant. Afterwards, he sat on his bed and wrote in his diary.

Dear Diary: My neighbors are crazy as fuck with a few exceptions.

Rusk- He's around my age and a pretty okay guy. He ain't weird like everyone else and I might hang out with him tomorrow.

Marjorie- She's an old witch with a crazy ass granddaughter. NEVER BUY A THING FROM HER GRANDDAUGHTER!

Carmen- A cool ass mother fucker.

Shino- A beautiful MILF

Gaius- He's pretty cool. He gave me my first weapon. He has elf ears. Seems cool. He and Raven may be in a relationship. I have no proof, but it's my theory.

Evelyn- A cool ass mother fucker, but not quite as cool as Carmen. Her family's weird though. Most likely the normal one in the family.

That's all I can think of right now. I would name Carmen's brother as being okay, but after that part about his muscular body, I'm not because he was rubbing it in my face. Bastard.

That's all for now. I'm going to write a letter to my mom and dad tomorrow and maybe chill with Carmen and/or Rusk. I might also explore the rest of town, but we'll see. Good night.

Yawning, he put his diary up and fell asleep.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Sorry, I don't really like Shara. I don't like her whole "I'm the main girl, so you gotta love me!" thing going on and she's just a flat out Mary Sue. The rest of the girls I like, except Karina. She's cute, but far too lazy for my tastes. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Kuruna. She come back in the next chapter. She's my favorite girl in the game and yeah, I did marry her. If anyone's looking for a Micah x Shara/Raven, sorry it's not in here. Might be a few moments, but don't expect anything.
