Things were going smoothly; she worked all day yesterday and had gone to sleep early so she could wake up early, like a real farmer.

It was 6 o'clock when she woke up to a nice spring morning. The day was Tuesday, spring 3rd.

"Maybe I can take a tour around town soon." Claire decided when she stared at the map of Mineral Town. The closest place to her small farm was the blacksmith shop, and then there were two other farms besides her own. She decided to name her farm something simple, to make it seem like she knew what she was doing. She called it Harvest Farm.

Her cute puppy that came along with the farm she called Speed, because that's what he looked like he was on all the time; he never seemed to run out of energy.

While she was working on her wonderful farm a man showed up, calling himself Zack, and he was in charge of shipping items. He told her that if she puts something in the bin close to her field he'll pick it up and pay her for it. He appears at 5pm everyday except holidays and festivals. He also told her to not overwork herself, and to make sure to stay healthy.

The people here seemed nice enough to get to know here. Making friends couldn't be too hard.

Claire cheered to herself as she ate her piece of bread, she wasn't hungry yet, but she still decided to eat something so she wouldn't be hungry later. Speed ran up to her in excitement; it seemed as though he wanted to be petted. He looked too cute to resist, so she picked him up and took him outside with her. She set him down and looked towards the town. It all seemed unknown to her, she had always lived in a big city.

"Well Speed," she looked towards her cute puppy, who couldn't hear her since he was halfway across the field, "Its time to meet my neighbors."

Claire took a hesitant step forward and shuddered. "Good luck." She whispered to herself while she started walking towards the town.

Outside her small farm was the countryside, there was a long road heading north; then she came to another road, and came across a small sign. It claimed with three arrows, which ahead is North side of Mineral Town, to the side is South side of Mineral Town, and the bottom one claiming there was an old farm. She was going to have to change that later. Claire shrugged and turned towards the side; might as well start with the county side.

She spotted the blacksmith shop first off, it was just a small house, but they probably upgrade anyone's tools. Her tools that came along with the farm were a bit dull and needed some work; she'll be visiting them soon enough. There was no need to go there at that very second, they could be extremely busy.

So instead of walking towards it, she just continued down the road and found a farm different from her own. Actually, looking at the poultry, it was considered a ranch. When she had money, she'll definitely be going here to buy an adorable chicken. All of them just looked so cute!

After walking further, and away from the cute chickens, she spotted another ranch. "I guess I have the only farm." She muttered to herself as the cows in the ranch made a loud mooing noise. Cows looked interesting as well, she might raise one some day.

"Maybe I can have a ranch farm thingy, or something." She smiled and looked around the area. She spotted a path going up and decided to follow it and see where she'll end up.

Where she ended up was a huge square; after looking at a sign it was called Rose Square. This was probably the place where the festivals took place. She looked at her watch and almost freaked out! It was eight thirty and she barely did anything today.

"Excuse me…"

Claire stopped moving almost instantly. There was a mysterious voice behind her, and she was once again acting like a complete idiot. "Great going, Claire. Now the people here will think you're a lunatic." She muttered to herself as she turned around slowly.

"Are you new to this village, I've never seen you before." It was a man, he had a blue hat on covering most of his blond hair; the hat said UMA. She wondered for a second what that meant, and why he wore it. He also had blue eyes, but she could barely tell since his hat tried to cover his eyes.

"Yeah, uh, I'm new to Mineral Town, I'm Claire." She straightened herself out as he walked towards her, coming from a different direction. He looked a bit shy, but tried to stay in control. "I was taking a tour; I bought the old farm out in the country. It's called the Harvest Farm."

"Oh, you're the new farmer?" He looked surprised, but calmed down. "That's really nice; so you're going to run it all by yourself?"

"Yeah; I don't really have any friends that could help me. I moved from the city." Claire chuckled softly to herself, she hated the city, but then again, this place looked even harder to earn a living.

"I used to live in the city." He perked up at the word city, "I'm Gray." He extended his hand for a nice welcoming handshake. Claire smiled and shook back gently.

"It was nice meeting you." Claire decided it was time to move on towards the rest of the town; even though Gray was extremely cute.

"Yeah, I better go before my Grandpa gets mad at me for being late. I work at the blacksmith shop, drop by sometime." He smiled and nodded his head as he walked in the direction I came from, and soon disappeared towards where she just was.

"He was nice." And with that said she started off towards the direction he came from, faintly wondering where she'll end up.

After traveling down a few roads, completely dodging some places that didn't interest her, she ended up in front of the church. "I guess people in small towns need their religions as well." She shrugged and decided to see what it was about, she never really was a religious person.

"Is anyone here?" Claire called out in a normal voice when she opened the unlocked doors. It was a small church, but still very pretty. She only noticed two people when she fully walked in; one was sitting in the front row, and the other was probably the pastor of the church.

"Welcome." The pastor calmly stated a hint of surprise in his voice. No one really knew that she had bought the farm, so people probably just thought she was a visitor. "Do you need any help?"

"No thank you, but I'm new to this town. I just bought the old farm, which I named the Harvest Farm, and I'm looking around." Claire introduced herself in a kind manner; she really didn't have to upset the church. "My name is Claire."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Claire. I'm the pastor of Mineral Town, Carter." He bowed slightly, but his eyes wandered to the boy sitting quietly on the front row, close to where Claire was.

The boy looked up when he noticed Carter gazing at him and looked towards her for the first time. He had long reddish-brown hair, and it was pulled back into a loose ponytail. He looked completely shy, "I-I'm Cliff…"

He was so cute!

She almost squealed as she skipped over to where Cliff sat; she smiled hugely and held out her hand. Cliff blushed, but held out his hand as well. Claire took this to her advantage, and instead of shaking his hand like he had thought, she lifted him up and embraced him in a big hug. "Nice to meet you Cliff," she just seemed to hug him tighter, "I bet we'll be best friends." And with that, she let go and observed his bright red face.

She was going to like Mineral Town after all.
