By: authorstar101

Bridget unpacked her stuff into her new farm. Chester farm that is. It was her father's before he died. His name was Greg Chester. He had met her mom herein forget me not valley. She died also a few weeks after her dad. Bridget did get over it but she thought that if she took over this old farm, she would be able to figure out some stuff about her parents.

She was almost finished unpacking and then all of a sudden, she heard a knock on the door. She answered and a girl with a green bandana stood before her.

"Hi, My name is Celia. I live at Vesta's farm across the river. Vesta told me you ordered 3 cases of Strawberry seeds?" She said sweetly.

"Umm, yes I am Bridget by the way. Thanks" Bridget replied. Celia helped her move the crates into the house. They didn't say anything until Celia pointed out a picture on the wall Bridget had just hung up.

"Is this your dad?" Celia Asked. Bridget looked over.

"Yeah, he died a month ago" Bridget said frowning.

"Yeah, I know. He used to trade goods with us. He was a great man"

"Yeah, He was"

They Finished up and headed out side. Celia turned to face Bridget.

"Want me to show you around town?" She asked sweetly.

"Sure"

Celia showed her the Inn, Vesta's Farm. The Doctor's house, The Blue Bar, The Springs, and introduced her to everyone. When they were finished, she decided to take her back to Vesta's farm for a drink. Bridget happily agreed and followed.

Celia grabbed to glasses and poured each of them a glass of wine. The talked and sipped away. They were becoming good friends. After about 10 minutes, A Guy named Marlin walked in.

Bridget stopped and stared into his big brown eyes.

"Who is that!" She said excited.

"Who Marlin? He is my good friend" "Marlin this is Bridget. She just moved into Chester Farm. It was her father's. Greg" Marlin headed towards Bridget and shook her hand.

"Very nice to meet you" He said softly.

He headed up stairs.

"OMG! He is sooooo hot!" Bridget said laughing. Celia blushed and bit her lip.

"I know I have been crushing on him for a while now" She said still blushing like a shy little girl. All of a sudden, a big thump came from up stairs.

"Sorry 1 sec Bridget" She walked half way up and called Marlin's name.

"MARLIN? Are you okay?" No one answered so he quickly went up the stairs.

She screamed faintly and came running down the stairs.

"We have to get Vesta and bring Marlin to the doctor! He has fainted!"

Celia said breathless. Bridget looked at her confused.

"What! Why!" Bridget said putting down her cup.

"He has a sickness and sometimes this happens, but it can be very dangerous" Celia explained as she pulled Bridget to the fields. There they saw Vesta Watering her tomatoes.

"Vesta, Marlin has fainted again!" Celia said panting. Vesta dropped her watering can not saying a word and ran back to the house.

When we got to the doctors, Marlin was taking into the other room so the doctor could inspect him. The doctor came out with a glum look on his face.

"Doc, is he going to be ok, like the last time" Vesta said worried.

"Yeah, he'll be ok but.." The doctor paused.

"But what?" Bridget asked.

"He'll have to stay in a environment with many animals. The work and of course the animals will help him stay on his feet" The doctor said professionally. Everyone suddenly looked at Bridget.

"But I don't have any animals yet!" Bridget replied.

"We can help pay for your first cow Bridget, and it will help Marlin out" Vesta implied helplessly. I nodded.

"Sure, why not"
