*CHAPTER 1*

"Ugh. I'm so tired I feel like I'm gonna explode soon." After a long day of filming I can finally relax. I went straight home after ordering my favorite dark chocolate milk tea near our destined meeting place for our film. The coldness of the drink slowly washed away the ache I was feeling from all the drama I need to act.

When I knocked on the door I felt that no one was there. "Mom?? Dad?? *growl* where could they be at this hour?" I opened my bag and looked for the keys. Ah, there they are. I slowly opened the door and I was right. I was alone.

My mom is a lawyer in the next city, quite near to our place. While my dad is a nurse in a well known hospital. Two diffirent persons met and loved thus creating me. Hi, my name is Claire, 17 years old and a famous teen celebrity. I entered the showbiz career when I was only just 10 years old. In this past 7 years all I've done was work and study, no socializing, no friends.

My mom would often worry if I was okay with my state but as long as there is money, who wasn't?

Just to be sure I knocked on my parent's room. There wasn't any answer. I slowly opened the door to peek and all I can see is a perfectly cleaned bedroom. That's my mom for you, I thought. I wasn't allowed in here ever since I could remember. My mom would often made stories up just to prevent me from coming here. And of course my little self would often believe in those lies. But now that I'm older and we could say.. "curious-ier". I need to found out what were they hiding from me.

I slowly made my way, past the comforting bed and saw that there was this box half closed under it. "What is this.. " I sat on the bed and looked in it. Inside the box was a picture and a.. Gameboy? This was banned years ago, why would mom or dad had this?

I looked at the picture and it is awfully deteriorated. It was old. Maybe older than I was. But I could still get a glimpse of the background. It looks like a farm? Who is this? Whose is this? I wonder.

The most weirdest was the Gameboy. I never seen this except on the internet stating that this was among the forbidden objects of the government. It didn't state why. But instead it just say that whoever owned this magically disappear and no one knew why.

The curiosity grew and I opened the Gameboy, it had a card stuck into it and there the title flashes through the screen.

"Harvest Moon: Mineral Town"

"Start / Continue"

There wasn't any saved file so I created another.

And it suddenly flashes. Everything in my surroundings turned white and it is particularlyspinning. I blacked out and when I opened my eyes. I'm in a whole new universe I didn't know.

Where am I?

I feel so light headed. I don't even drink.

What are those sounds? It feels all so familiar.

I opened my eyes and all I can see was a filed of flowers and vegetables. A quietly raging river and bees surrounding a single tree. Clucking chickens and moo-ing cows. Nearby are a flock of sheep. Am I in a farm? Just before I could get up a brown dog attacked me.

"Woah! Wait! H-hey! Slow down!"

I said desperate to shoo the attacking creature away. When the dog finally stop I suddenly shriek when I felt a nuzzle in my bare neck. It was a horse! And a big one as well.

"I am in a farm, ain't I?"

the big brown horse helped me got up and when I regained my balance all I could mutter was a face of awe. Everything was beautiful, peaceful and everything was different than the city I lived in.

But how did I got here? "H-hey! You! Who are you!?"

I jumped back into reality when someone shouted at me. I turned around and it was a boy. He looks like my age wearing blue farming clothes with a watering can in his hand.

"Wait.. you're.. but how.. "

he muttered. Do I know him. I felt like I've seen him.. somewhere. "Excuse me, I'm afraid I'm lost. I don't know how I end up here." I said. He didn't answer back but just looked at me like I was a living dead. He stared for some time when I finally broke out the awkward silence. "Look, please can you help me? I need to get back. My family is probably looking for me." I said. "All I know is that I was lying here after I.. after I.. Ah! That Gameboy!" after I realized what just happened my anxiety had worsen. What will I do? How will I go back? Those questions kept popping out of my head. And suddenly I felt a tugged in my left sleeve of my dress.

"W.. wait. Where are you taking me?"

I said panicking.

"You have played the game. You gotta end the game. End of chitchat."

He roughly said.

I.. what!?

Before I knew it was inside his house. it was rather big. A single story house with a country side feeling. He went towards the closet and tossed me something. An overalls? I look at it with disgust. I only wear dresses or shorts, and definitely not farming clothes.

"What is this?"

I said uncomfortably. "Clothes. Duh." That's it. I'm mad. "Look here buddy, I'm trying to be as polite as I can but I also have my limits." I said clenching the overalls below my chest. "Can't I just borrow your phone? I don't need a change of clothes. I need to be at home." I plead. He looked at me straight which made me feel uneasy and opened the chest beside the door.

"If only I could do that I would."

he said as he gathered a couple more tools. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Like I said. You played the game, you gotta end the game. Once you have entered the game or started.You, yourself will be send here. And you will only go home if you managed to fulfill your 'in-game quest' and married. Got it? " My mouth was wide open. What did he just said? I'm in a game? But how? But.. wait..

"MARRIED!?"

I gasped. "I have to get married!?" I'm only 17 years old! I'm not even old enough to get a drivers license let on marry! This game is a total ripped off! First they force you to do something you didn't want to and second they push you to get married into some odd stranger before you could get out of it!? "That's insane!"

"Could you not shout!? Get a move on or else you won't ever have the chance to leave."

He said angrily and shut the door behind him. Leaving me shock for the first time in my entire life.
