Harvest Moon; For Girls: Chapter 2

Mineral Village, Spring 29th

"MAYOR, MAYOR!! IT'S TERRIBLE" A man with a toned body shouted, running and sweating at the same time. He stopped in front of a very short man, wearing a red hat that is decorated with a single white line.

"It- its terrible" He huffed as he tries to catch his breath. The rolled, towel that is tied around his forehead does not seem to support his sweat. "There- The sea- a boat-"

The old man stares at the young body builder and stroke his moustache from his nose, to his cheeks. "Calm down Zack" The mayor tried to calm the man down. "Take a deep breath and explain... Slowly..." He said while emphasising the word 'slowly'.

Zack took a deep breath and lets it out after three seconds, "There's a girl on the beach, and she seemed to have gotten washed away by the storm last night!" He explained to the mayor, panicking at the same time.

"What?" the mayor's eyes widen.

"She is unconscious, but I didn't know what to do with her so I left her on the beach!"Zack said as he scratching the back of his head. "Anyway, Mayor!" he gripped both of his fist, showing how determined he is. "Please come to the beach!!" He said in a louder voice and runs off towards the beach.

The short old man stare at him as he disappears around the corner and sigh "That man is always in a rush" he shakes his head and walks quickly towards the beach to catch up with him.

At the beach

The sun was bright, summer was near. The sands are turning much whiter than before. Is it the sun? Or it's because of the change of weather? A young girl with dirty blond hair wandered, kicking the sand, letting the sand swish around in the air.

"The waves are loud, as usual" She stretched her arms up in the air; the smell of the sea water can be felt from a distance. "It's not bad going to the beach in the middle of the day like this" She sighed deeply. "Better than having rick, bickering at me again about Kai"

"I can't believe he is still mad about him" She frowned. "It's not like I like him" her eyebrows starts to curl,. She kicked the sad harder "Stupid Rick, why can't he understand how I-" Her eyes suddenly wonders to a yellow object lying on the beach.

She blinked a few times before rubbing her eyes. "Is... Is that... Hair?" Her eyes widen. Curious, she walks nearer to the object to gasp at the sight of the 'yellow thing'.

"OH MY GOD! Wait!" She paused and takes a deep breath and takes a second look on the 'thing'. "OH GODDESS!! A CORPSE!" She screamed and backs away from the lifeless body.

"KAREN! Are you alright?" The mayor and Zack rush to her aid.

"Mayor... That girl..." Karen stutters.

"She's alive, don't worry... Zack, can you help me bring her to that empty house? The one beside Saibara's house" The mayor points his stick towards the direction of the empty house.

"Yes sir!" Zack grinned, swinging the girl's body on his left shoulder; he lifted her up without any problems "This girl needs to put on some weight!" He laughed and he started walking away from the beach with Karen and the Mayor following behind, Karen sighs and the mayor sweat dropped.

As they arrived on the empty house, the mayor takes out a key to the door and unlocks the wooden door.

"Isn't this is the house that belongs to that old man?" Karen scanned the room as she stepped into the house.

Zack slowly laid the girl on the bed. Her hair is in a mess from the sea water, there is still some black things stuck on her hair. She is wearing a pure and simple white dress, with little pink and baby blue flowers embroided at the bottom of the dress. Her shoes were torn off, but matching the dress, it was white but pink and blue beads were decorating the shoes, making it much more elegant.

"She doesn't seem injured" The mayor sighed in relieve. "Hmm..." He hummed as he rubbed his chin. "Karen, can you change her clothes? She will get sick if she sleeps with wet clothing" He frowned. "There should be some clothes in the pink box there. It used to be that old man's wife's clothing but... It should fit..." he took a deep breath and sighed. "She died very young..." he trails off.

"I understand mayor... So, can you both wait outside please?" Karen said, putting both of her hands to her hips. "I can't change her with you guys starring at her!"

Zack's cheeks turn pink from that and slowly make his way to the door with the mayor in front of him. The door then closed with a small creak.

Karen looks at the girl and sighs. "You owe me big missy..."

-10 minutes later-

"I'm done! You can come in now guys!" Karen shouted from inside the house.

"Finally!" Zack burst open the door, making a loud banging noise.

"Mm..." the blond girl's hand twitched.

"SHHH!" Karen puts her index finger onto her lips. "Can't you open the door properly?!" Karen folds her arms and give Zack a small glare.

"Sorry... Hahaha..." Zack laughs quietly, grinning and scratching his head at the same time.

"She seemed to be waking up!" The mayor sits down on a chair next to the bed.

The girl opens her eyes slowly, blinking her sapphire eyes a few times. She opened her eyes to see a wooden ceiling, people surrounding her. "W- Where am I...?" She mutters.

"Are you feeling okay?" Karen asked with a worried look on her face.

"Who are you...?" She asked back, forcing herself to sit up straight. She looks around to meet eyes with a man with large muscles, grinning at her.

'She's kinda cute!' Zack grinned, showing his pearl white teeth.

"We found you lying on the beach so we brought you here" The mayor explained, helping her to sit up straight, grabbing the pillow and putting it behind her back so she can lean on it. "What happened?" He frowned.

"..." She was speechless. "I... I don't remember..." her eyes widen, looking at her hands she starts to stutter. "I can't remember anything..." She grabs her hair, pulling it down to the blanket. "Who- Who... am I?!" she cried out.

Karen and Zack gasp at her question. "She-" Karen covers her mouth with her hand. "She lost her memories...?!"
