Disclaimer: Harvest Moon Magical Melody is not mine. I don't know how many times I have to say that.

UGH! I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in like forever, but I've had a busy summer lately. I had summer band today and I went to see Over The Hedge with POPURIforever. Not to mention that I've been playing Tales of Phantasia non-stop. Oh well. On with the chapter!

Chapter 3

(Faith's POV)

I stretched as I stepped outside, into the cold air. It was 6:00 in the morning, around the time I got up every day after I took over the farm. I yawned loudly as I watered my few crops, causing Joe to cast me a laughing glance.

My few crops… Nina had accused me of being a bad farmer because of this. All I wanted was to be her friend. Why does she hate me so much.

'No, she doesn't just hate me. She hates me with me with a passion.' I thought glumly.

I put my watering can away and proceeded at hacking a couple of weeds that appeared in my yard. I fed Yap, my little puppy that Ellen, one of my friends, gave me, a couple of days after I came. I blinked, Yap bringing more thoughts of Nina.

I shook my head, clearing the memories of the many things Nina accused me for. I went into my house, searching for my last copper ore. I found it, under my bed, along with many other things I lost not that long ago. I pulled out my missing pink sock, as well as a light blue bow, a boot, and an assortment of hairclips. I wasn't always the neatest person in the world.

I stored the ore in my pack and headed back outside, only to see Joe, another buddy, standing there. In his hands was a big orange fish.

"Hey Faith. I caught a lot of fish this morning so I thought I would share some with you." He said, handing me the fish.

I blushed. "You don't have to give me anything Joe!" I told him. Joe ignored what I said and pushed the fish into my hands. He left and I stored the fish in my pack, next to the ore. A glittery bubble appeared in front of my. In the center of the bubble was a black eighth note.

It was a musical note.

I held my hands out underneath the bubble, letting it float gently down into my hands. It slowly disappeared as fast as it appeared. I now had 12 musical notes.

I headed to the mountains, making a quick trip to the ranch next door. I talked to Ellen for a while before heading back outside. In the fields stood Bob and Blue. Bob helped out on the ranch, but really he collects the things in my shipping bin at the end of the day, which is how I make money. Amazing, huh?

I walked up to Bob and took out the copper ore. I made a mental note to myself to stop by the cave to day and get more ores for him. He took the ore happily, a smile across his face.

"Faith have you heard of the Flower Festival?" He asked me.

I nodded, "Yes."

"It's nothing I really like, but if you want to go, do you want to go with me?" He asked.

I smiled. "Of course I would!" I replied.

"Great! I'll meet you around 9:50." Bob said, waving and getting back to work.

I left and headed straight for the mountain. I wonder if Nina is going with Basil… He said something about asking her yesterday. I wonder if he really did.

The rest of the day went by fast and before I knew it I was walking to the town square with Bob. I was in the girls' traditional Goddess costume that all the young girls in town had to wear on this exact day. I thought the outfit was cute, but it was way to hot to wear, even on a cold spring day.

The square was packed with flowers. I spotted Lyla in between the rows of flowers, her Goddess costume matching perfectly with her hair. I also spotted Ellen with Carl, Ellen looking great in the costume. Soon enough I spotted Nina, standing beside Basil, who actually didn't wear his green hat for the first time since I met him. Nina's costume, like Lyla's, matched her hair, pink on pink. I was a slight bit jealous, Nina looked great in anything and everything.

Me: UGH! SO SHORT! I had absolutely no idea where to go with this. I am truly sorry that it took me so long to post this chapter, and I promise the next one won't take so long. Hopefully by then I won't have this severe case of writer's block. AND HOPEFULLY I WON'T HAVE "MY HIGH SILK HAT" STUCK IN MY HEAD! VeggieTales songs can be really addictive. Especially Silly Songs With Larry. GO ARCHIBALD!

Anyways, ignoring my hyperness, I really, REALLY want more reviews than last time. It would make me very happy. AND DON'T MAKE ME DRAG YUAN IN HERE!

Yuan: HEY! I'm not even in Harvest Moon!

Me: You will be if I want you too.

Yuan: …

Me: HAHA! VICTORY IS MINE! Tell them Yuan… Tell them… TO REVIEW!

Yuan: Tabatha Is (Not!) Martel would be very happy if you reviewed her story. So please R&R.

Me: Very good Yuan! ♥
