A/N: See? I told you that I would put the final part up soon. This is the end of this story. It's bittersweet. I also get out of the diary format a few times. I hope you enjoyed this. The only regret is that I suddenly changed my style. Anyway, thank you my dear readers. You've inspired me to hurry and finish this. It was fun playing through the whole game and writing a diary. I hope you learned a few things. Like let the chickens out or they'll suddenly get angry near the end of the game. Hahah...

Several days later...

Entry 253

Hello. This is Marlin speaking. I'm afraid my wife wont be continuing this. So anyone reading this wont get confused, I'll say what happened. One morning in our bedroom I noticed something was very wrong. I wont go into detail about the condition I found her in. It's too much for me. "My-Love... My-Love... What's wrong? My-Love! Tina!!" I called. But there was no response. I yelled for Nathan to go call for Dr. Hardy right away.

Nathan led the doctor in and I heard our dog, Danny bark at him. I ignored that and focused on what was important. "Hang in there My-Love." I told her.

"Mom! What's wrong?! Mom!" Nathan had yelled.

I'm not sure if she heard us or not. Nathan called out to her once more after Dr. Hardy looked at her. I asked Dr. Hardy how she was. Then he said the words that we never wanted to hear.

"I'm terribly sorry..."

"No!!" I yelled. I couldn't believe it.

Nathan hung his head down. "...Mom..."

Takakura: It happened so suddenly. We still don't know the cause. I'm afraid your daughter passed away. You didn't come and get her did you? If so, you were confused. I should have gone first.

A few of her friends went to her memorial that night. I didn't go though. Nathan didn't go either. It was too soon. Vesta filled me in on it later though. They went to the bar to talk about her.

"They say that the good die young. That was certainly the case here." Celia said.

Lumina had something to say as well. "Tina, I thought of you like an older sister... I shouldn't cry so much, I know. I hope you'll be watching over me..."

"How could this happen? She shouldn't have gone before me. She still had many years ahead of her. It was just too soon..." I have to agree with Vesta.

Even Van was there. "Thank you for everything, Tina. I feel lonely already..."

Then Muffy spoke. "But I think she died happy. With her husband and child with her... And such wonderful friends."

After that, Muffy asked Griffin to play a song for her. At the time I was walking through the forest. I could hear a guitar playing from far away. Then I saw something strange. My emotions could have been playing with my mind though. I thought I saw three elves. They were looking at the stars and then ran to a tree before I lost sight of them. Yeah... my mind must be playing tricks on me. Anyway, a few days passed...

Takakura: But your daughter lived a good life. She did everything successfully. The farm is still going and her husband is well. And your grandchild seems to have chosen what to do in life. Your grandchild decided to follow in Tina's footsteps. Nathan is working very hard to learn how to be a farmer. Reminds me of Tina when I first brought her here. The spitting image. It's almost funny. But Nathan was born into farm life. A farming thoroughbred of sorts. Nathan may outdo your daughter. Or at least I think so sometimes. She might not like me to say that. Maybe she'll come back to haunt me... That'd be scary. I'm sorry, Tina. You did a good job too. Ok? To tell you the truth, I always thought I would see you first and we could watch over the farm together. But no.

Nathan was out working in the field. I watched how he milked one of the cows. Then he went to feed the animals. We're still sad about her death, but we are keeping the farm going. Earlier... Nathan and I crossed paths and nodded to each other as we continued our work. Well I suppose I'll end this diary soon. My son and I will be okay. We will be happy and live life to the fullest for her. I've taken over Takakura's job. I go into the city to sell and buy things. That reminds me... I saw Takakura by the beach. I wonder what he's thinking about.

Takakura: Now that your grandchild has taken over the farm, I can finally retire in peace. Marlin is still doing well, after all... I'm sure they will keep the farm going as father and child. You and your daughter had better keep an eye on them from up there. Forget-Me-Not Valley is a little lonelier, but we're carrying on. Do you remember when you first came here? And when was it that I arrived here with your daughter? Your child followed in your footsteps. Surely that makes you happy. I'm sure I'll be there to see you soon enough. Perhaps we will all start a farm.
