Zelda entered Pierre's General store and felt the rush of air conditioning hit her face. Piere's store was the town's number one favourite place to get groceries, as well as a few other selected items. All food sold was organic and free ranged, unfortunately if someone need something that wasn't standard they had to go to Piere's competitor. The Jojo corporation had set up one of their many store chains in Stardew Valley as a part of some new initiative to help small towns flourish. However almost everyone new it was just a new ad campaign created by some corporate fat cat in hopes of making the Jojo corporation look better in the eyes of the public.

"Welcome Zelda!" Pierre greeted from behind the counter. He was reading a newspaper

Zelda simple smiled and gave a wave back. Looking around the store she noticed Pierre's daughter Abigail standing by a fruit display. Abigail was one of Zelda's closest friends in Stardew Valley. Abigail had purple dyed hair and blue eyes, she was short and had an even short temper around most. She was a year younger then the blonde but the two never found it Abigail was moody and like to mask herself with a false attitude, behind the goth persona she was actually a very cheery person. She was secretly geeky loving video games, movies and music. It took along time for Zelda to chip away at Abigail's shell and be allowed to see her true personality but when she did Abigail had revealed her secret dream of being an adventure like a character straight out of a comic book.

"Hey Abigail" she said walking up to the purple haired girl with a bright smile.

"Hey Zelda" she replied giving the blond a small smile. "Whatcha up to?"

"Just went hunting for spice berries that your mom needed actually!"

"Oh yea, I almost forgot about that post of her's on the notice board." The smaller girl said frowning slightly. "I was going to get around to doing it, thought it might get my mom of my back a little. Guess I forgot." She sighed shrugging.

"Oh well why don't I give them to you so you!" The blonde said holding out the small brown bag filled with berries.

"Zelda no!" Abigail said pushing the bag away from her. "I can't do that, you worked hard to find those berries you deserve the credit."

"I don't care about credit silly!" Zelda replied as she rolled her eyes with a smile. "Just hand them in and get your mom to owe you one, I don't mind."

"Realy?" Abigail said hesitantly. She felt very guilty for taking credit for something she didn't do on her own. "You're sure?"

"What are best friends for?" The blonde said in a mischievous tone.

Abigail rolled her eyes. Zelda was always trying to get Abigail to admit they were "best friends" which the Abigail found extremely annoying. They both new they were, so why was the blond want her to say it a million times. Zelda new very well that she got embarrassed every time saying it, that was just the way Abigail was.

"Fine. Thank you best friend" She sighed as she took the package, unknown to her though Zelda could see the small hint of a smile she was trying to keep hidden.

Walking away from her friend, Zelda grabbed a small basket and started browsing the aisles of the small store.

After grabbing some more milk, and an assortment of frozen meals the blond furred her brow as she struggled to remember the other things she needed. "I knew I should have written a list." She muttered to herself under her breath.

Deciding that if need be she could always return tomorrow, Zelda walked over to the counter and handed her items over to Pierre who eagerly wrote them up on the cash register.

"How are your crops doing Mrs. Zelda?" Pierre asked eagerly.

"Great! Should be ready to harvest any day now." She replied, nodding her head.

"Well when you need more high quality seeds you know where to find them." Pierre said with his trademark salesman smile. "You know I also have great fertilisers! It will make your farming easier and faster. I'll even drop the price a little since you're my favourite farmer.

Zelda just smiled back politely. She knew that Pierre probably said that to all the farmers he sold to. Pierre was always trying to sell more, Zelda supposed it had a little to do with having such a powerful competitor.

"No thanks" she said gently, waving away the offer with her hands. "Call me silly but I like to let the plants grow in their own time."

"Well if you're sure i can't interest you in anything else then, that will be eighty gold."

Zelda thanked the shopkeeper as she received her groceries, which had been neatly packed into a brown paper bag. Waving good bye to Abigail the blond exited the store and began to head home. The walk seemed to go by quickly as she soon found herself unlocking her front door and stepping into the quiet house. After packing all her groceries into her fridge, Zelda looked at her clock that hung on the wall. She was surprised to see it was nearly two in the afternoon. Grabbing an apple from her counter top she decided to go and take a walk in the woods south of her property.

The area was such a lovely place to walk, Zelda had been trying to get to know the area a bit better when she stumbled upon the woods near her neighbors' homes. Her closest neighbors were Shane's aunt, Marnie who lived with her daughter, and Leah who lived alone in a small cabin near the river. Marnie owned a ranch that housed many farm animals and was the number one place in the area to buy quality livestock. Zelda bought her chickens from Marnie and each one was well kept and fed.

Zelda smiled as she shaded her eyes from the sun. It was an unusually cool day for the summer as there was a gentle breeze in the air. Looking around she decided to take shelter from the sun under a large tree that sat on a tiny hill. The tree was only a few meters away from a small lake that had a wooden dock built in, most likely for fishing. Lying down on the soft grass Zelda gazed up at the blue towards the blue sky, the blonde listened to the peaceful sound of the trees waving in the wind. Every few minutes she would hear the sounds of sweet birds chirping or other forest animals enjoying the day. Soon the blonde couldn't help but let close her eyes and drift off into a peaceful sleep.
