Me: -sobs and blows her nose.-

Popuri: HikariLi-Sama doesn't own Harvest Moon. If she did, I wouldn't be acting like a bubbly powerpuffgirl, and Rick wouldn't be a nerd.

Rick: ... Hikari, You're SO DEAD.

Me: -giggles lightly- On with our story!

"Daddy! MOMMY WON'T WAKE UP!" the little girl was sobbing by now, as her dad bit his lower lip. "Claire, hun, I-I… I'm sorry… She's…" he couldn't bring himself to say it, as his eyes watered. The little blonde looked up, her bright blue eyes wide with sadness. "Mommy's gone?" she asked weakly, clinging to her Father's pants leg. "I'll go tell pastor Evan," she then walked out of the house, and walked off to the church. "Evan?" A man with black hair and a few gray strands were visible popped his head out from the door. "Yes child?" he asked, picking the little girl, who then broke into a sob. "Mommy, s-she went to sleep and never woke up!" As soon as she said this, Evan was worried. Worried about his brother, Lucas.

He then ran off toward the farm, before seeing smoke. He was glad that Claire was in his arms right now. "Claire, Go tell Mayor Mark, that your farm is on fire, and I went to go check it out. Hurry!" The little girl nodded reluctantly running off to the mayor's office.

When they both returned, the mayor found all three of Claire's family member's dead, it was sad really, poor Claire, she was shipped off to live in a foster home because the Mayor didn't want to take care of her himself.

Claire woke up with a start, and sobbed quietly, so not to wake Popuri up. She then got dressed and fixed some breakfast for the two, and sighed, walking over to her bed to Wake up her guest. "Popuri, wake up," she said poking the girl. "Wha? Mommy?" she sat up and rubbed her eyes, and blinked at Claire. "S-sorry, You're not Mama, I forgot I was staying with you today."

As soon as Popuri ate and got dressed, she left Claire's farm to get to work. But when Claire went outside, she sighed, looking at the field. What a load of work.

Around noon it started raining and Claire had every boulder broke, except for the bigger ones where she would need her Hammer upgraded. She then got her hoe and started tilling, and planting the cucumber seeds. Since it was raining, there was no need to water. She then sighed and wiped her head with a cloth, before running off to church.

About Three she reached the church, (Mainly because Manna kept talking.) She walked into the church and waved to Carter, who waved her to come over. "Claire, You see that man over there?" Claire looked at where Carter was pointing and nodded. "Well, he's new here, like you, and he doesn't have any friends, so I was hoping you would be his friend."

Claire nodded and walked over to Cliff. "Hiya, I'm Claire," she smiled at the reddish-brown haired man sitting there. She then sat next to him and folded her hands into her lap. "So… You must be Cliff, How do you Like it here in Mineral Town?"

Cliff rose his head, and looked directly into Claire's bright blue eyes. "It's okay… I guess," he responded. Claire blinked. "U-uh, y-ye-a-ah, Mineral Town is fun," she stated, her face growing red. It was like, he was searching her for any anger or some kind of hatred, Odd really. As soon as she replied he smiled lightly. "Hey, Claire, What do you think of someone who has no job or family?"

His question stumped her, but she smiled and answered. "Relax. Don't ask such questions. I have no family either," she sighed, and went into a long story about what happened to her family. In the end Cliff looked like he was about to cry. "I-I'm sorry to hear that. It's a sad story Claire, I'm really sorry…" Claire only smiled. "There's nothing to be sorry about Cliff, It happened a long time ago, don't worry about it."

She was blushing though. They just met, but it was sweet that he cared enough to say he was sorry.

"Well, I gotta get back to the farm, bye Carter, Cliff." Just as soon as she stood up, Cliff grabbed her arm. "W-wait, l-let m-me w-walk y-you h-home, it's g-getting l-late." Claire's face got a brighter shade of red. "U-uh, t-thanks."

The walk was nice, but not a word was said between the two until they reached the farm. "Well, I'm home, I gotta get up early but…" she smiled at Cliff. "You can come in and watch Aaron Changes with me," her face flushed, as the boy blinked at her, and blushed himself. "N-no t-thank y-you C-Claire, I g-gotta wake up e-early m-myself. Goodnight."

She watched him leave before she walked in her house and leaned on her door. It felt like some kind of Kiddy crush, but she actually liked this guy. He was sweet, he had long hair, he was cute, very cute, but, she wasn't sure why she felt like she was floating on a cloud every time she was near him. She sighed, and sat on her bed. "Daddy, Is this what you meant? Am I really falling for this guy?"

She then blushed at the thought of them ever getting married, she then thought of how Cliff's hair would be pulled back with a black ribbon, and he would wear a black suit, and he would be smiling at her, his bright blue eyes shining with joy, as she would be walking down the isle in a beautiful white gown. Her face grew bright red and she nearly passed out. "Get a hold of yourself, Claire!" she squealed, laying on her bed and placing her head on the pillow.

"C'mon Max," she patted the bed and the dog did it's best to jump up onto the bed. Claire giggled lightly, helping the pup up onto her bed, who happily curled up behind her legs. "Hey, Max, want to help me on the farm?" she smiled, patting the dog's head. "Sleep tight, Max," she said before drifting off to sleep.
