Story of A Girl
Chapter 6
Nayru: (playing Harvest Moon) La, la, la, la, la! La, la, la-la!
Xiao: No, no! Don't give her the fish! She hates fish !
Ran-Ran: (sigh) Sorry about these two. They're always playing that game in search of new ideas.
(yells) And I'm just a stupid kitten who doesn't know what I'm talking about! Anyway... I'll just
put up a disclaimer.
Nayru: SCREEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DISCLAIMER: (oh crap, I f***ed up again!) It's not mine! (How can you screw up on Harvest Moon!)
We own the game, Rae is ours, but if you ask us, you can use her!
(Yeah! You got a green heart!) Harvest Moon is not a registered trademark of Nayru Moon and her
muses!

Midwife Knows Best! No need for extra Boyfriends!
(Aka A little Lovin! No Need for PMS! part 1)
Rae pulled up the last weed from the grass field. Koibito mooed, as Cliff brushed her.
"Ha ha! No, Koibito!" He laughed and pushed her away, as she licked his face. "Stupid cow!"
"Cows are actually rather smart, if you think about it, Cliffy." Rae looked at him.
"They eat grass, which is nutrtious, they have a real purpose, and are rather obedient. Unlike
you." He threw a handful of mud at her. They chased eachother around for ten minutes, laughing
like little children. Suddenly, there came a stern voice from the threshold of the farm. The
MidWife was standing there.
"Rae, I'd like to talk to you and this boy. Separately." She added quickly, as Cliff's
jaw dropped.
Rae stood up, and shook a few dirt clods out of her hair. Cliff grunted, indicating she
had screwed up already. The MidWife was intent on the women being tidy clean, and housewives, not
the independent girl Rae was. "Well then, Miss, I'll just go fix up some tea." She lead the old
woman inside.
"Now Rae, if you didn't know, I was the woman to have delivered you, and most of your
friends." The MidWife took a sip of her tea. "I know what's best for you." Rae held in a burst
of laughter.
"Do you now? Well then, what do you want to change about how I live?"
"First of all, your dating choices. Cliff, he's strong, but he's a wanderer. If you two
married, he'd never be at home. Kai is a total softie. Honestly, I don't think he's capable of
producing a healthy child. Silas would be a better choice over those two, really- but he's not a
nice man. Gray perhaps, but he's quiet. To tell the truth, all of these boys have their faults."
"Ma'am, you act like I don't know that!" Rae laughed out loud. "Just because I choose to
work with all of them at once doesn't make me uncomfortable." She paused. "I'm perfectly
comfortable with it. They don't mind. I plan on eliminating Harris and the Doctor, because they
don't do much for me."
"That's good, but back to what I was sayng about Kai. 'Not capable of producing a
healthy child.' You need to think about the life your child will live, when you have one. A man,
no matter how good he is, can't take care of a child. You'll simply have to stop working when
you get pregnant."
"STOP WORKING!" Rae shouted. "I couldn't. I... I just won't have a child!" She crossed
her arms impertinently.
"No, you misunderstood. Just a temporary break, you'll be able to go back to work post-
partum. We won't need to think about that yet. Just start narrowing down on your selection."
She hissed under her breath. "Fine."
Cliff came out of the house looking POed. "She said that if I were to be in any shape to
marry any girl, I'd need to settle. Like that would happen. Come on, let's go have a few drinks.
Your birthday is early sumer, two weeks? Close enough. Come on!"
Rae's pyschedelic sapphire eyes glowed in the dim light. Harris was standing outside of
the bar.
"Rae, I know you're not twenty." He reprimanded her. "As long as you don't drink, you're
alright. Be careful. That preist is one hell of a party animal."
"Harris, stop watching out for me." She sighed, preparing to give him the slip.
"I know what you're getting at. I understand." He smiled at her. "Popuri and I have
become close friends in the two weeks since you got back." He winked. "Maybe, maybe not. Time
will tell."
Rae smiled with relief as she walked in. She slipped up to the Doctor- who was talking to
Elli. "Takes care of that." She assumed. She then noticed her other main man- talking to...
"Hi Karen!" She called. Rae's pretty best bud looked up.
"Hey Rae!" She then whispered, "Don't worry, there is nothing here. I wouldn't dare."
She winked. "You and I. We're a team. You get him, I get Cliff, and vice versa."
"It's a deal, Karen." Karen shoved Rae a drink.
"Go ahead, it's almost your birthday."
A week passes quickly, with Summer weaving it's way into the lives of the inhabitants of
Blossom Town. Rae's life get busier by the minute, with Cliff and Kai to tame, and five willing
friends: Ann (ever since Silas' arrest) Popuri (because Rae bought from her seed store) Karen
(because the two were so alike) Mary (for just hanging with her) and Elli (for keeping in good
health). Elli and Ann had both become assistants on the farm. The girls were all busy, with the
family businesses. Rae had both corn and tomatoes growing, and Koibito was ready for milking.
Rae didn't have a Milker yet, but was working on it. Rae was looking over her farm, when she
heard three mumbling voices inside Cliff's house. "How much you got, Kai?"
"Two-thousand. I can put in five hundred."
"Damn, still not enough. Gray?"
"I'll put in all I've got. Three hundred."
"Cliff, why don't you give some?"
"I ain't got any! Doug?"
"I'll put up with her, and put in three hundred also."
"What's her grandpa got left?" Rae's eyes flashed. What did they want from him!
"He's got all we could need. Plus, the dough we recieved from the city... that should do
it!"
Cliff looked at the other three men. "This will be the best birthday she'll ever have!"
