Hi all! Welcome to the second chapter of Harvest Mania. There were I few things I forgot to mention last chapter which I think you all should know.
First of all, I don't own Harvest Moon: A Wonder Life. I do own Mimi, however.
Second, this story is R for a reason. It contains drug and alcohol references, and some veryexplicit sexual stuff.
Lastly, this will contain yuri and a maybe a bit of yoai. But definite yuri. If you don't like, don't read.
Props to Malcore for figuring out the storybehind thenames of thechickens. Karen, Elli, and Popuri were myfavorite girls to court in Harvert Moon 64.Anyone who can guess the origin of Matt gets a prize.
When you see thesearound words,that means it is the letter being read.
Ok, now that that's all cleared up, you may proceed!
A Word to the Wise
Mimi twisted and squirmed on the large bed. She was much to excited to sleep. At last, a farm for her and Jack! They got along pretty well, considering they were brother and sister. Jack was always nice to Mimi, and Mimi never told her friends about the embarrassing things Jack sometimes did. She considered him her best friend. There was no one else she'd rather live out her dream with.
She slid her hand under the pillow and closed her eyes. They opened a moment later when she felt something under the pillow. She sat up, pulling out an envelope. She squinted in the dark, trying to make out what it said.
"Ja...Jack...and...Mi...Mimi" she managed to read. She lifted her head to look at the outline of her sleeping brother. He lay on a mattress on the floor by the window, snoring softly.
"Jack," she called, "Jack!"
Jack rolled over and continued to snore.
"Jack, wake up!"
"What?" he mumbled, his back to her.
"I found a letter under my pillow. I think it's from Dad."
"Can't this wait?"
"No," Mimi said, flatly.
Grumbling, Jack pulled himself up. He shuffled over to light switch and flicked it on. He and Mimi blinked in the sudden light. When his eyes adjusted, he shuffled over to Mimi and sat next to her on the bed.
She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter within. She peered at the first line, "It is from Dad."
"I'll read it," Jack said, taking it from her. He cleared his throat and began to read in a steady, even voice.
To my darling children:
If you are reading this, it means I have passed away. I wish I could see you now, but seeing as I'm dead, I can't.
I'd like to say right off the bat, I'm sorry. I sucked as a dad. I really wish I could have taken you two with me when I left, but your mother would have filed all sorts of lawsuits to get you back. I didn't want to have to fight her. I'm sorry your mom and I were divorced. No kid needs that. I wish I could go back and do it right, but I can't. The only thing I can hope for now is that you take over my farm and live like I tried to. And for you two to be the best farmers in the whole damn world.
With that being said, I need you to know something. Forget-Me-Not Valley is not the best place in the world for two kids. Not even for you, Jack. But I want you to try and manage as well as you can. So I wrote a guide to all the villagers so that you can know what to look out for. This will help.
Jack took a paused fer moment. Her glanced at Mimi before continuing.
Takakura: He's my best friend. Don't worry about him. He's a real nice guy, and he'll do anything he can to help you. Don't be afraid to ask him any questions you have. He'll give the best answers.
Tim: He's a bit crazy. He constantly eats and randomly starts talking in other languages. He's an ok guy, if you can deal with him.
Ruby: She's a real sweet lady, but being cooped up in the kitchen all the time, cooking for Tim, drives her insane. Only talk to her if she's outside. That's when she acts civilized.
Rock: This kid is an idiot. He parties all the time, and is hung-over every waking moment. His only redeeming quality is being the best drink mixer in the Valley.
Nami: Nami is mysterious, to say the least. I would spend whole nights drinking and talking to her, and never learn a think about her. She can be a bit dark, but she is a good friend to have.
Galen: Stay away form Galen. He went insane after his wife's death, and no ones been able to get near him since. Well, except for Samantha, but only because she reminds him of his wife.
Nina is Galen's dead wife.
Wally: This man would die if he didn't to exercise at least 5 times a day. I have a feeling he's on steroids, though. I mean, no one can have muscles like that. He's kind of oblivious to the world around him.
Chris: Wally's wife, Chris, is a very paranoid woman. She devotes her life to Hugh, and would never let him out of the house if Wally didn't insist upon it. I'd be careful around her.
Hugh: Hugh is a nice boy. He exercises too, but not nearly as much as his father. I believe he wants to be a scientist. He hangs out with Daryl and Carter when his mom's not around.
Griffin: He is Muffy's step dad. He is part of the druggies, and is the second best drink mixer in town. Keep an eye on him. He's nice when his stoned, but not at all when he's sober.
Muffy: Muffy is the leader of a group called The Girls. She constantly flirts. You should watch out for her, Jack. You too, Mimi. She doesn't limit herself to boys. She and Celia often work as a team. You may come to understand that later.
Romana: Romana considers herself to be the mayor of the town, which she is not. She bleeds money, and is the greediest person alive. She's Lumina's grandmother and piano teacher. I suspect she pushes poor Lumina a little too hard.
Sebastian: This guy is Romana's butler. He's one of the druggies. He likes Lumina a little too much. Mimi, stay away from him. Jack, keep him away from Mimi.
Lumina: Lumina is the sweetest child you'll ever hope to meet. Sadly, her parents died when she was young and now she is very depressed. She is one of The Girls, although she doesn't like them very much. Be nice to her. She needs some good, real friends.
Vesta: Stay away from Vesta. She is a competitive farmer. She will not sell you seeds. You'll have to get them secretly from Celia or Marlin.
Marlin: Marlin doesn't like the Valley. He's only there because he has weak lungs, and is incredibly asthmatic. He has a crush on Celia, but won't admit it. He can't stand seeing Celia and Muffy together. He'll be nice to you if you're nice to him.
Celia: She might seem like a good girl, but she takes on a whole new persona at night. I have a feeling she loves Muffy, seeing as she does everything that horrid girl tells her to do. She is co-commander of The Girls.
Kassey and Patrick: They are twins and they are crazy. They're pyro's who know how to make explosives. Stay away from them.
Daryl: This guy is even more paranoid than Chris, which is a difficult thing to accomplish. He is a druggie and a drunkard. I think he builds bombs. He has a pet, something he created, called MukuMuku. It eats small animals.
Carter: Carter is a washed up archeologist. He claims he is digging for alien bones. He's a druggie, and not a very nice guy.
Flora: Flora is one of The Girls, and I don't know why. She is studious and smart, nothing like the others. She has a crush on Wally, and thus detests Chris. She can be nice, but is a mean drunk.
Gustafa: This man is the biggest of all the druggies. He almost always has a joint hanging out of his mouth. He likes to jam with Griffin and Lumina at night, at the bar. I think he and Nami have something going on, but it's hard to tell for sure.
Hardy: Stay away from Hardy. She is not a real doctor. He is the reason Nina is dead. Do not, on any occasion, buy his "medicine".
Van: Van is a very fat man. You can't miss him. He is the dealer for the druggies. He does some other bad transactions, and often swindles money from Romana.
Cody: Cody is a surrealist artist. You should check out his trailer, it is very trippy. The druggies often go there to get high. He's not a bad guy, though. I think something is going on with him and Nami too, but again, I can't be sure.
Murrey: Don't give money to Murrey. He'll only use it to buy drugs and booze. He likes to stalk The Girls. Mimi, watch out for him.
Grant: Grant is a bad man. He is often in the city, or getting drunk, or getting high. He becomes violent when he's stoned or wasted. I believe he is unfaithful to Samantha.
Samantha: I feel sorry for this woman. Her husband is terrible to her, her daughter is a little bitch, and I think she's in love with Flora. She is a kind person, just depressed. Try to be nice to her. I'm sure she would appreciate it.
Kate: Kate, like I said, is a bitch, and the lowest member of The Girls. She acts smug and arrogant all the time. She hates her father for never being there for her, and her mother for being quiet and scared. She hates a lot of things.
That is all. I realize this might turn you off the whole "let's be a farmer!" idea. I just want to let you know what you're getting into. Be careful here. Hopefully, you'll have some fun. This will definitely be an adventure for you both.
Sincerely,
Your loving father, Avery Golden
Jack took several deep breaths before turning to his sister, "Mimi?"
Mimi tookthe note from him and looked at it, "Jack, if anything, this makes me want to stay here more."
"Yeah," he whispered, "Me too."
They grinned at each other.
"Who would have thought," laughed Mimi, "We're going to go on a farming adventure!"
That was all to set the stage for what's coming next. And believe me, what's coming next is gonna knock your socks off. Until next time!
