SUPER RANT #4:
Well this is my second chapter, and I'm just surprised I got this far! laughs Also, I barely noticed, but in my Introduction where Rose is suppose to go in a 'basement,' I meant to say she's going in an attic. Or should I change it to basement, but anyway. I mad a big mistake, she's really going in an attic. So in this chapter we get to meet the villagers of the town. Also to give you heads up the parents of the kids (Judy, Brian, Diana) their parents (all of the kids) are paired up basically how the game had them paired up (CliffxAnn, GreyxMary, KaixPopuri, etc.) Well accept for one pairing, since after all Belle did marry one of the men, so one of the pairings will be screwed. laughs
Chapter Two:Belle wakes up from that cold lumpy bed, and boy does her backaches. She also notices that there is no refrigerator. Belle thought in her mind, 'Did that man ever ate?'' So she decided maybe there is a restaurant somewhere in town where she can get some breakfast. Slowly she dresses in a simple T-shirt and jeans, and ties her hair up. 'There's no bathes here either! Seriously what did this guy do?'
She went outside, and looks out at that huge field of dump. 'I'm serious, did the town use this as their dump or what?' Then she heard a little bark. She looks around, and soon she she's a little brown puppy, right at her feet.
"Ah!" she yelled out.
"So you found your dog, huh?" a masculine voice came from behind her, and she saw this totally ripped up guy, tall too; he looked like a military man.
"Oh! Hello, um…. My name is Belle Toscano," she replied politely.
"Hey kid, you know Thomas said you where young, but you like if you where 16," he laughed out.
"Yeah, well I'm 21, okay?" Belle pouted. Though she noticed the way she just replied to that made her seem like she was 16.
"Oh, sorry about that, really I am," he apologized. Already she has her first impression of him. Rough around edges, but can be sweet deep inside, but he really is a loud man, and from the muscles he seems macho-man-like.
"Well my name is Zack, and just call me by Zack, okay?" Belle is still wondering why he's here.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it kiddo?"
"What are you doing here precisely?" She gives him that 'please hurry up and get to the point' look, but he's oblivious of her attitude.
"Oh, right, I'm here because I ship all your produce to other towns so you make profit. All you have to do is put all your produce in this shipping bin."
"So you're my crop broker."
"You can say that. Yeah. I'm your crop broker, but I sell and buy for this whole town. Selling our products to places like Forget-Me-Not-Valley and Flower bud Village, and so on."
"Why do we do that?" she asked hesitantly (she remembers that her grandparents had to sell and buy crops on their own in the town.)
"Well we sell and buy our produce from other towns too, but we get a lot from Forget-Me-Not Valley more often, and they buy our produce more often then other towns," he explained.
"Okay, sure," she replied. 'I guess shipping changed through out the years.' (A/N: Where she was raised was also from another game of Harvest Moon.)
"So anyway there are two different shipping bins, one in your barn and another in your chicken coop."
"Okay, is that all?"
"Yeah, and if you need help ask me, or look at some of your books in your bookshelf. The old man must had some information written down about this farm," he replied. Without a goodbye he leaves, and she didn't mind, but he's pretty quiet about coming and going.
"Wow, so this is it, huh?" she said to herself. Ounce again she heard a little woof right next to her foot. "Oh! Well do you belong to anyone little fellow?" The puppy was just spinning around trying to chase his tale now.
"Well if you would like you can live with me? But you do look like your owned." He didn't have a collar, nothing on, but he looks well fed, and his coat looks like it's been brushed regularly, so she didn't know what to do.
"I guess I'm going to have to keep you for now, since it looks like you have no home, but there's a reason why you look well groom, but oh well." She thought for a name, and it took her awhile, but she got one. "Leo."
She picked up the puppy, and started to pat on his little head, and she looked out at the field. The wind blew her pale golden hair out in the wind, and even though the farm was so rundown she could imagine what she can do here.
"It's going to be a long journey for us, but I think we can do it. Huh?" and then her stomach growled, "But first I need some food for my system." Gently she put the puppy down, and she head over in town for some grub.
'I wonder what I can find here?' she asked herself. She looked around, and the village was as beautiful as the mayor had said. Tall green trees, and cute little houses everywhere. She went down on her right, and found the blacksmith shop. 'I wonder if they're in?' she thought, and she opened the door in. There she saw an old man, looking quiet angry, behind the front counter, and a young man in khaki with a hat covering his face.
"May I help you?" the old man asks.
"Good morning, my name is Belle Toscano, and I'm…" but before she could say anything the young man yelled out in pain.
"Gray what the hell are you doing?" the old man scold at him.
"Ah, I was just trying to make something, and I cut myself!" he shouted in pain. The old man walked over where the young man was, and he picked up what he was trying to work on, a silver brooch.
"What a waste of silver," and he just tossed it in the trashcan.
"Why did you do that?" he demanded, still holding on to his bleeding hand. "Besides can't you see I'm in pain?"
"Are you okay?" Belle walked up to him, to see the blood, but Gray just yelled at her.
"I don't need your help!"
"Gray don't treat a young lady like that!" the old man scolds at him.
"Hmph, sorry…" he apologized with no care.
"I'm sorry about my grandson, Gray, but he has such a nasty temper. If it's okay, you may want to step out of here." The old man said to Belle. Belle was just completely and utterly shocked of all this. So she is about to step outside until she heard the old man again,
"Oh, also my name is Siabera, come if you need anything about tools or jewelry." 'Well that was great.' So she just heads down the road again. When she visits the Poultry Farm, it was close, and then she went to the Yodel Farm, where she met this old man, and a little girl.
"Ah hello! My name is Barley, and I'm just an old rancher here in Mineral Town, and this is May, my little granddaughter. You're that Belle girl from that old farm, right? Mayor Thomas told me about that," Barley immediately introduce himself the minute he was able to see her face.
"Ah, yes, I am," 'I wonder if he told him about me smashing Thomas's foot?'
"He also said you had quiet a temper, especially when you smashed his foot." 'Aw, so he did.'
"May say hi to her," May walked up to Belle slowly, and she looked up at Belle.
"Hello Sister Belle, I'm May." The little girl had a twinkle in her smile, with just pure innocence, but her eyes tell a story of sadness.
"Hello May, and how old are you?" Belle asked May, as she bends down to he level.
"I'm 10, and I'll turn 11 on December 26! So don't forget my birthday, okay!" May replied with such glee.
"Okay, I promise. Well now, I have to leave just came here for a brief hi, and I want meet everyone else in town, so I'll be going."
"Good Luck with that farm!" the old man replied out.
Belle walked out of there, and she went out more exploring through the town. Of coarse just to waste time so she doesn't have to start cleaning up that filfthy farm. She went through Town Square, and even took a glimpse of the beach she went through, and as she headed upward she saw a lovely little church. She was heading that direction until she looked westward and saw a beautiful inn! With food! Her stomach growled so hard she swore there must have been a dog living inside her. 'Food…'
She went inside the very homely and humble inn, and as she strolled inside she bumped in to a girl with the brightest red hair she has ever seen. That was all she saw, and then heard a screech. Next thing she knew it went black.
'Belle!' a man shouted out to her. A girl of golden corn hair runs through fields of green grass and blue magic flowers. It felt like it was a sea of magic to her. She rolled through the coolness, and she saw her father over her head, but it went blurred, and clouds came rolling. Rain soon poured down, and lightning just struck where her father was just standing, and it soon became white. She then heard some clarity.
"Miss? Miss!" the man shouted out. It was all blurry at first, but everything came clear and she saw a Doctor. Black spiked hair, and a huge silver round thing on his head I forgot what it was called…, and first impression she got was… handsome man.
"Are you alright Miss?" He asked.
"Yes I am, Mr. Hot," she replied, still a little bubbly from the knock out.
"Um… I'm sorry Miss, but my name is Trent, Doctor Trent…" Dr. Trent replied embarrassingly.
"Oh... wait… what?" she was still blurred out.
"Is she alright?" a worrying squeaked voice chirped out.
"She'll be okay Ann, in fact I think now she's awake."
"May I see her?" Ann asked.
"Will have to wait for the Dr.'s okay."
"Where am I?" Belle asked, and now everything was becoming clear. She looked around, and all she really saw was just white. There were blue curtains (just to make another wall though), but the room must have been a hospital, after all it smelled like one.
"Your in the Town's hospital, um you do know which town your in right?" he asked.
"Yes, Mineral Town?" she questioned herself why he asked that.
"That's good." He replied.
"Did I hurt you that bad?" Ann asked, she had the same red hair as she saw when she entered the inn. Belle didn't know what to say. She was tired, and it seems as though the dog living in her stomach moved upstairs in her head. Soon this other woman came in. She was fairly young, brown short hair, and in a nurse outfit. She grabbed Ann by the arm, and quietly whispered something in her ears, and Ann just went with her.
"Sorry about that. Ann can be a little to over exaggerating," Doctor Trent replied.
"Doctor… want did happen to me?"
Dr. Trent was a little hesitant. He fiddled with his fingers, got a few papers, and looked them over. Before Belle can ask again he said,
"Well, you went in the Inn, and as you walked in you bumped into one of the trays Ann was holding." Then it hit her like a truck would have. IS SHE DIEING?
"Well soon after, you bumped in the tray so hard, well it knocked you out. It almost hit your temples. And… well… instead of really injuring you… it left you this…" he then pulled a mirror from the counter, and she saw the hugest bump on her forehead ever! It was round and had some purple in the middle. It was gross! Luckily though it wasn't so huge that it couldn't be covered. He patched something over her head; okay maybe Belle was over exaggerating about the bump, and he was able to cover it, but still!
Belle left his the room, and into the waiting room, where she had to get meds from the nurse in the front desk.
"Ah! Miss… Oh! What's your name again?" the nurse asked, looking through papers.
"Oh… the name is…" That red head Ann soon interrupted Belle.
"ARE YOU OKAY!" she jumped out of nowhere, and she tugged Belle's arm so hard she felt like she was trying to get her more damaged.
"Yes… I am…" she replied while trying to massage the headache she just got from that.
"Here! Let me pay for your medicines!"
"No you don't have to."
"Oh! Please let me! As an apology for knocking you out!"
"Okay, okay, if I let you pay for my medicine then would you leave me alone, and let me relax," Belle didn't want to sound mean, but this girl was just annoying her!
"…I will…" Ann felt rejected. It's as if she was hoping they would become friends. Well that's probably what she wanted… well Belle thought that.
"Well anyway… Miss…" the nurse stopped to think of what was her name.
"Toscano, Belle Toscano."
"Oh! You're the new owner for that old farm down south of town!" the nurse exclaimed.
"Um… How did you know?"
"Well my grandmother was talking to the mayor the other day, and he told her, and she told me."
News seems to travel fast here. Well the nurse didn't want to be rude, and 'interfere' in her private life, and handed her the meds. She told her ounce a day, and when she ever wakes up. Two if she starts having any severe headaches. Also, when she feels faint come to the hospital immediately, and all that other information.
"So what happens when I've already fainted?" she asked.
"Well hopefully someone will be near." She replied.
"Or maybe the wolves can get me first." She sarcastically joked.
"Excuse me! What did you say?" the nurse seemed panicked from that.
"It was a joke…" Belle felt like she should just shut up and go.
"How much is it?" Ann asked.
"Oh, about 700 gold pieces," she replied. Wow! Okay, maybe it's not that bad she paid for me after all… ((She only has 1,000 gold coins.))
Belle and Ann exited the hospital with each other. Ann was about to say goodbye, and hopefully she will get better, but then all the sudden the dog moved right back in Belle's stomach.
"Oh so your hungry?" Ann asked ounce she heard the growl in her stomach.
"Well, I was trying to find somewhere to eat…" she sighed, and patted her stomach.
"Oh! Then let me take you back to the Inn, and I'll treat you to a nice homemade meal! For free!" she replied with the biggest smile Belle has seen.
"Well…" Belle was hesitant.
"No! Come on!" Ann grabbed Belle's hand, and ran! Belle was hard to keep up with Ann, and she didn't even notice Belle was wheezing!

"Hey what are you kids doing over here?" asked the old carpenter.
"Mr. Boris! We were doing nothing!" Rose exclaimed while hiding the diary.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Old man Boris snarled. "You kids just get out of here! It's gettin' late out, and the wolves be eating you tonight!"
"Right!" Judy replied.
All the kids ran out. Rose had the diary, and Judy grabbed the box for her. Kids ran because they where all afraid of Mr. Boris. He had a patch over his eye, and people wonder why he does. He was just plain crazy to them.
"Tomorrow! Will see each other!" Judy commanded. Ounce the kids started to head up to Toscano's Farm (yes this is where Rose lives) they stopped to make another gathering.
"Can't. I have to go to my piano class tomorrow," Jane replied.
"Yeah, and mom and dad want us to take care of the chickens for them tomorrow," Robert said
"Fine! What then! How about this Friday (it's only Wednesday)?" Rose asked.
The group agreed, and went their separate ways.
