When Violet woke up and was about to head outside to care for Spot and Pecks, she became blinded by a white light.
"W-what's going on?!" She exclaimed as she covered her eyes.
When the light finally disappeared, she noticed a woman standing in front of her.
She had green shining hair in two buns and a long braid that cascaded down her back, along with eyes. She also wore a long blue skirt with a gold chain hanging from it, as well as a matching blue tube top, gold cuffs on both of her wrists, gold earrings, and an airy blue cape.
"Dum-Da-Da-DAA! Good morning, Violet! How are you getting used to life here? I came to ask a favor."
The farmer froze in surprise and looked around, wondering where the woman came from.
"H-how do you k-know my name?"
"Huh? How do I know your name? I know just about everything that's important, silly!" She giggled. "Let me introduce myself. I'm the Harvest Goddess!"
Before Violet could speak, the Harvest Goddess started again.
"So, about that favor. You know that the mayors of Bluebell and Konohana don't get along with each other, right?"
"Yep! When I first came here, they argued over which town I would live in. They don't seem to get along with each other at all..." The farmer stated as she remembered what happened the other day with a worried expression.
"It's not that they have a good reason to dislike each other..." The Harvest Goddess started with a frown and her shoulders slumped. "I guess you could say it's a tradition. The mayors of the two towns have hated each other for generations. But it wasn't always that way. They used to get along really well..."
"Hundreds of years ago, everyone could use the tunnel freely to get across from town to town, you see. Everyone was happy and got along well. The villagers would chat and have conversations with each other. That was...until the mayors started talking about each town's cooking...
'What did you say?! Are you trying to insult my villager's cooking?! You can take your idiotic opinion right back to Konohana!'
'I'm not trying to insult Bluebell. I'm just saying our cooking is better. If you can't see that, you're the one who's an idiot!'
'M-mayors, please calm down!'
'Shut up! You all just be quiet!'
Eventually, they ended up disturbing the bats in the cave, interrupting my beauty sleep!
'W-what's that? Looks like we disturbed the bats!'
'Hey, you two! Keep it down! I'm not putting up with all this fighting! I need my beauty sleep, you know! If you two hate each other so much, I'll just close this tunnel! Now you won't have to see each other at all! Oomph!'
I caused the ceiling to fall down, closing off the tunnel. Luckily, no one got hurt, but now, I feel kind of bad about it...But it's a lot of work to put it all back like before! And that's why...I want you to do it for me, Violet!" The Harvest Goddess gave Violet a big grin.
"W-wait, what?! M-me? I can't do all that! It'll take years, and I'll take loads of breaks, and..." She started to list all the reasons why she couldn't do it herself and nearly ran out of breath.
Completely ignoring Violet, the Harvest Goddess continued.
"But if you just reopened the tunnel, they'll start fighting again. So get them to be friends first, okay?"
"B-b-but...!"
"Four times a season, they hold a Cooking Festival on the top of the mountain. I think that would be your best bet! It's the only time the two villages get together. If you can cook something delicious and help your village win, I'm sure that the mayors will become great friends! I'm counting on you! Toodles!" She then disappeared.
"...What just happened?"
After Violet took care of Spot and Pecks, she headed into town and checked the request board.
Georgia and Grady both had requests up involving critter catching and hand catching fish.
"This'll be easy! I managed to catch come fish and critters yesterday after Ash showed me around town! He said he'd show me his best friend Cam, but I guess that'll have to wait..." She told herself as she ripped the pieces of paper off of the board and headed on her way to the mountains.
As Violet looked around for the critters listed in Georgia's "Critter Catching" request, she noticed a pair of figures.
"Oh, and I have to show you to this girl! She came two days ago and she's a farmer over at that cottage just along the path to the town! Her name's-Oh, hey, Violet!" She noticed Ash waving at her and grinning.
Next to him was a young man, slightly older than Ash.
He had light brown hair and green eyes. He also wore a purple shirt with a darker purple vest, along with a yellow loose tie around his neck. On his head was a checkered purple cap, which he held and slightly lowered to shade him from the bright sun.
Ash grabbed his hand and ran over to Violet.
"Violet, this is Cam, my best friend!"
Not much happened in this chapter, but I'll start typing the next one right away! I'm just full of ideas this week! ^^ I would've finished this chapter quicker, but when I looked up pictures of the Harvest Goddess to describe her, I ended up seeing fanart of the game, so that backtracked it by a lot! This fanfiction's going to be more involved with the game's story than my other fanfic, since the two games are completely different, what with the character customization and plans and everything else. I would've made the character in this fanfiction Rose, until I remembered Rutger's wife is named Rose, so that let me down...As always, reviews are highly appreciated and ideas are accepted! ^^
