Piper wasn't pleased to be woken up in the early morning by a loud obnoxious knock on the door. Wiping the drool from her mouth, Piper trudged to the front door and, without bothering to check who it was, swung the door open.
"Can I help you?" She asked grumpily.
The man blinked, surprised by Piper's unkempt appearance, but he recovered quickly.
"You must be Piper Corvalis, Farmer Gary and Delia's granddaughter. I'm the mayor of Bluebell, Rutger. We're glad to have you with us."
Piper blushed in embarrassment and tried to fix her appearance. Her hair was messy and she had fallen asleep in her dirty clothes.
"Oh. Excuse my appearance; I'm not used to waking up so early."
Piper looked around for a clock and saw one hanging in the kitchen; it was barely six in the morning.
"It's quite alright. You'll get used to it. Anyway, I'm here to give you a tour of our town. Are you ready?"
"Sure."
Berryblue Farm was actually quite wide and spacious. Now that it was morning, Piper could see everything clearly. To the left of the house were the chicken coops and to the right was a large red barn with double doors. The barn was connected to a wide grassy area that was perfect for grazing and lounging around. The worn dirt path led from Berryblue farm to the entrance of Bluebell Town, which was reminiscent of an old but quaint European village. The most interesting thing was the statue in the town square; it was an image of a chicken on top of a sheep on top of a cow.
Rutger introduced Piper to many of the residents as he pointed out their stores. Grady and Georgia were a father - daughter pair who owned a pet store and a horse ranch. Jessica and her kids, Ash and Cheryl, owned an animal shop that sold livestock as well as animal feed and animal medicine. Howard and his daughter Laney ran the café and Cam lived with them while running his own flower shop. Enrique and Diego owned the general goods store while their brother Raul owned the general goods store in Konohana; Piper learned that they were triplets. Eileen was the resident carpenter who lived by the town hall and Rose, Rutger's wife, kindly greeted Piper with a pouch of homemade chocolate chip cookies and a handmade outfit.
Piper was exhausted by the time she got home. Jessica had given her a cow and chicken as a welcoming gift and Howard gave her some cooking utensils as a housewarming gift. Now, standing in her kitchen, Piper stared at the stove and wondered how she was going to cook dinner. Luckily, she found a cook book in one of the kitchen cabinets and she successfully put together a caprese salad. With a sad sigh, as she ate her salad, Piper wondered how she was going to survive in the countryside.
