Mineral Town
Claire
I woke up early today. I get out of my bed and quickly changed into clean overalls and a yellow t-shirt that the mayor gave to me 'Where should I explore today?'So, just as I walk out of my house, I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw a tall tanned muscular man. I freaked out and frozed there, looking at him. 'emWhat am I going to do? Should I scream?'
"Don't be afraid, I am not a bad guy. I am Zack, the shipper of mineral town. I'll come by to buy your products at 5 PM every day except on festivals day. I need holidays too!" He said while plastering a big smile on his face. After that, he turned around and left the farm.

"Wow, is this a hot spring? It's so huge!" I exclaimed when I saw a hot spring at a hill which was at the back of my farm. 'Hmmm….. Maybe I will have a bath here next time….' So I left the hot spring and headed to the path on my left. It is slightly steep but I just ignored it and kept walking. I hummed a happy melody while I walk along the path.
'Wow! Is this heaven? It's very beautiful!' I thought when I saw the beautiful lake in front of my eyes. It glitters when the bright sunshine shone onto it. The hanging wooden bridge added a little mystery to the scenery in front of me.

I was very curious what was at the other side of the lake. So, with my curiosity calling me, I crossed the wooden bridge and went over the other side of the lake. The scenery there was more beautiful. It was a large flower field full off brightly coloured flowers. There was a large oak tree in the middle of the field which made the scenery there even more interesting.I noticed a shadow behind the tree. As I walk closer to the tree, I saw a boy sleeping underneath the tree. He had long eyelash, a black short hair and he smells like medicine and herb. I noticed a grasshopper on top of his head. I tried to catch the grasshopper but before I could catch it, the boy woke up. His eyes fluttered open slowly.

"Who are you?" The boy asked while rubbing his eyes. He had black eyes.

"I'm Claire. There's a grasshopper on your head." I said while pointing toward his head where the grasshopper was. He eyes widen and he frozed like a statue.

"T-take it off!" He stammered as he blushed .I giggled and slowly I cupped the grasshopper with my hand. I turned around and I let the grasshopper free. I watched as the grasshopper hopped into the nearby bush.

"Thank you. I am Trent, the doctor in this town. Nice to meet you." He said while giving me a cute smile. 'Thump Thump' What's that feeling?' I felt that my heart was beating very fast.

"Would to you like me to accompany you home?" He asked as he got up and brushed some dirt off his pants. He arched his back downwards and picked up a basket full of grass what seem like to be herbs.

"Sure!" I replied with a smile.

Trent
Today was a sunny day so I decided to go to Mother hill to pick some herbs for my medicine.

"Hm…this might be enough!"I muttered, feeing satisfied to see the basket full of herbs that I had picked. I felt a bit tired so I decided to have a small nap under the old oak tree. But I accidentally fell asleep under it.

"Hm? There's a nice smell…It smells like cotton candy…Who's there…

"I felt something is brushing on my hair. I opened my heavy eyes and saw a blond-haired girl with pretty blue eyes and her hand is on my head.

"Who are you?" I asked while rubbing my eyes. 'What is going on?'

"I'm Claire. There's a grasshopper on your head." She replied while pointing at my head. 'A g-grasshopper?' My eyes widen and I just frozed like a statue.

"T-take it off!" I stammered like an idiot while I feel heat rushing into my face. She giggled and slowly her hands cupped the grasshopper. She turned around and let the grasshopper free. I watched quietly as the grasshopper disappeared into the nearby bush.

"Thank you. I am Trent, the doctor in this town. Nice to meet you." I said while giving her smile. She blushed in bright red.

"Would to you like me to accompany you home?" I asked as I got up and brushed some dirt off my long black pants. I arched my back downwards and picked up my basket of herbs.

"Sure!" she replied with a smile. We remained silent when I accompany her home.

"Thanks for your accompaniment!"She said when we arrived at her farm. She gave me a wave before going into her house. I smiled in returned. 'It's time to return to the hospital….' I thought as I scratched the back of my around, I started to walked back to the hospital.

Just as I stepped into the hospital, Elli rushed towards me.

"Doctor, where had you been for the whole time? I am so worried of you!" Elli rushed forward and grabbed the hem of my black sleeve shirt tightly. Our face was dangerously close which made me blush.

"I just went to the Mother Hill to pick some herbs."I said while patting her head. She then let go the grip on my shirt.

"Next time, tell me, Ok? You kept me worried…."She said while giving me a warm smile.

"Ok…"

Claire
"Knock Knock.."

"who's there?" I asked.

"It's ME!" A girl's voice rang outside my house. I rushed towards the door and opened it. It was Ann and next to her is a smaller girl with a long pink hair and big pink eyes. "Hi~ I am Popuri, nice to meet you!" The girl said as she smiles brightly. "Claire." I replied and gave her a smile in reply.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked Ann, whose arm was full of bags.

"Oh, this are some of my old clothes. It's for you." Ann said as she passed the bags towards me.

"Thanks" I said to her gratefully and accepted it. "No prob!" Ann gave me a wink and they leave with a good-bye wave.

'Hm…..what should I wear?' I took out the pile of clothes from the bag and put it into the closet neatly. Taking a blue t-shirt with cute cat patterns on it and a short, I headed towards the spring. Just in my expectation, the hot spring was empty. I took off my shirt and covered my body with a towel that I found in the hot spring. Slowly, I dipped my leg into the hot water. After my body had adapted to the water temperature, I slowly slid into the water. It was nice to have a bath in an open air hot spring with beautiful scenery around me.

Soon, I get up from the water. I dried myself with a dry towel. Then, I dried my hair with the hair dryer in the hot spring and tied it into a ponytail. I quickly changed into clean clothes I bought and left the hot spring. After I put my things back into my house, I walked to the inn.

"You are late!"

So, how was it?
