"What can I get for you today, Billy?" Jeff asked after he had walked in.

"I just need the regular stuff. I need a few bags of seeds, but I don't have that much money."

"I know the farmer way of life. It was the same way for your mom and dad when they showed up. He came in here almost every day beggin for seeds and promising to pay me back later-"

"Here you goe, Billy," Karen smiled behind her father. She had been standing in the sun which made her hair shine all the bringhter while her father had been talking. She now threw a bag of seeds at him that she had been unpacking.

"Karen!" Her father moaned.

"Don't be so mean Jeff," his wife Shasha smiled at her husband. "I'm sure that Billy will be able to pa us back in no time. If you need any help, you just talk to me, Billy," she smiled. "Jeff was always a-"

"As I was going to say," he interrupted. "You can have a few things to help out, but don't make a habit of it," he tried to smile.

Billy surpressed a laugh as Jeff packed a few more things in a bag for him before getting ready to walk out the door. Then he saw her standing in the doorway.

Her hair was cut short and a deep red. Her clothes were simple, but to Billy there was nothing more beautiful she could have worn. Her light blue eyes looked passed him toward something on the shelf.

"What the hell is she doing back here?" Billy heard Karen muttered uneder her breath. Billy turned to look at her and for a moment Karen didn't look so pretty. She had a look of pure vemon in her eyes and it was aimed directly at the girl in front of him.

She walked past him, not even noticing as his eyes followed her. She then picked up a few items and proceeded to pay for them. Jeff didn't look at her. He only stared down at what he was working on and then put htem in a bag and thrust it toward her. There were no words exchanged between them. It was like she expected this.

She headed toward the door and something came over Billy. He wanted to reach out to her and tell her that there was someone who wanted to talk to her.

Like she felt his intention, the girl looked at him with her light blue eyes. There was loneliness and sorrow in those eyes. She then turned away and walked out the door.

When she was gone, he finally spoke,"Who was that girl. I may have not lived here long, but I know I've never seen her before." He was barely able to speak more then a whisper.

"You don't pay any attention to her. She's just trouble and a wonderful boy like you shouldn't be getting involved with her," Sasha said bitterly. Billy had never heard her talk like that before.

"But-"

"Don't worry about it Billy. In the next few days you'll hear all you need to know about her," Karen said as she pushed in out the door of the store and closed it, locking it behind her.

"What could be wrong with one girl?" he asked the empty street.

As he walked home in silence, Billy couldn't stop thinking about the girl with light blue eyes. Even in the city, there had never been a girl like that, much less a girl like that in this town.

Sure, there were plently of beautiful women in the town, but they were either married, dating someone, not interested, or too old for him. Karen was one of these girls, she had been dating Rick for almost three years and everyone know that he was going to ask her to marry him in time. It just seemed like there was no one here for Billy.

When he was back on the farm, billy found Gotz working on the house. Even though he lived alone, Billy had always wanted a house that would provide him room. In the city, that was just a dream, but because of Gotz he would have a large home in no time.

"You went into town and i thought that I would just start working. Did you get anything interesting," Gotz inquired. He seemed more friendly the usual, something had to be up.

"Just the same old stuff, seeds and toast. The only food I can cook with out burning," he laughed.

"That's why you need a wife, Bill. I've seen you cook and only a woman could help you now. I'm sure on of woman in town would be willing to cook for you. What about the lovely Miss Elli?" he smiled.

"I told you, Gotz. She's married to Doctor. It would seem strange if I was looking at his wife all through dinner. Besides, you don't have a wife either," he poked at Gotz as he dropped the bag down on the ground.

"I know how to cook. You would die without toast or the kindness of the townsfolk. Did anything new happen in town recently?" he asked suddenly. "I haven't been in town in almost three days because I've been slaving away for you," he gaufed.

"Nothing with the townsfolk, but something happened while I was a the store. There was this girl and-" he suddenly stopped. He couldn't even describe how lovely he thought she was and he didn't even know her name. He only knew that she was amazing and he wanted to find out who she was.

"A new girl in town. What did she look like?" Gotz seemed interested. It wasn't every day that a stranger came to the familiar town of Harvest Moon.

He tried to describe her the best that he could, but it didn't seem good enough. He had described what she looked like, but it seemed like something was missing.

"She sounds familiar. I think that I may have met her before. I thik her name was Naomi. From what I remember she's a real beauty, but had a troubled past. Beautfiul though," he smiled as he continued to happily saw away.

"But Gotz-"

"No talk, I need to work now," he grumbled. That was the Gotz that Billy knew. Then it came to him. He had learned her name, Naomi. It was a wonderful name for a wonderful looking girl.

"Now I just need to talk to her," he thought. All these feelings in his head were making him dizzy and then he just fell to the ground where Riku came over and began to lick his face.

"Riku, can't I dream for a minute?!" he laughed through the dog kisses.

Riku only pulled at his pants leg in reply. He finally managed to pull Billy up when Billy noticed that Popuri was running into his yard, chasing after a chicken, of course.
