Hey guys! I would have posted this earlier but I had to write my science report!
And now I'm here doing..more writing? I'm so weird.

Anyway, this chapter will be mainly about Rose. I'll introduce all the people I created in the story so we'll also be introducing Ben this time!

Now go read it because I'm not spoiling more surprises! Enjoy! :D I don't own Harvest Moon. Sorry if I made any errors!

It was around 9:00 a.m. when the girls cleared the huge farmland.

Rose was reading and Violet was looking for her rucksack.

"Rose, did you see my rucksack anytime earlier? I could have sworn it was somewhere near me when we were weeding." Violet asked while looking through one of the boxes.

Rose was still reading but responded to the question by shaking her head.

Violet frowned and kept looking.

"Man, the only tools that weren't in there were my hammer and axe.." Then Violet thought for a moment.

"Wait a sec, my wallet's in there!" Violet yelled loudly.

This made Rose shut her book and get out of her chair.

"Violet, are you positive you didn't leave it somewhere?" Rose asked.

You see the strange thing about Rose is that she would freeze up or stutter when she was around strangers and even good friends.

The only person she talked normally with was the person she trusted the most in the entire world, Violet.

Violet froze for a second and slapped her head.

"Duh! It's probably at the bar! That's the only other place besides Chris's home we were at earlier!"

Violet paused for another three seconds.

"Wait, what about Chris's house? I could have left it there..." Violet said under her breath while heading for the door.

"Rose I'm going to be out for a little while and remember, we still got to get seeds today."

Before Rose could get a word in Violet shut the door and left.

Rose let out a heavy sigh.

She forgot that we already visited the seed store yesterday..Violet's so forgetful when she loses something.

Rose opened the door and walked to the fields, the other place Violet probably didn't check.

And there it was, a bright brown rucksack lying against a boulder on the far corner to te left.

Rose walked over to the boulder and took it by one of its straps.

The rucksack was slightly dirty due to the soil but was still in good condition.

Rose took the rucksack inside and set it on the floor next to the tool box inside.

"I wonder how long it will take Violet to return?" Rose said quietly to herself.

The girl shrugged her shoulders and headed for the book she was reading.

She grabbed it and sat back down in her chair.

The book was titled Farming for Beginners in big bold letters.

Rose opened the book from her green bookmark and began reading.

No matter what crop you grow raise it with a lot of caution and care. Start the planting process by taking a hoe, good quality recommended, and till the soil in a 3x3 square. Make sure you leave a spot plain so you can reach all the crops to water and harvest them. Turnips and potatoes are recommended spring crops for beginners. Followed by...

Rose kept reading her book until the clock struck noon and let out a loud 'BONG'

This brought Rose back to earth as she closed her book and looked at the clock.

Violet left almost three hours ago.

Rose got out of her chair and walked to the door.

Her pale hand reached for the now cold doorknob.

As Rose opened the door and walked out she felt the warm spring air on her face.

She closed the door behind her and began walking out of the farm are and into the quiet valley village.

Okay, she probably didn't spend much time at the bar since it's not opened. And it wouldn't take three hours to look inside Chris's mansion. Didn't she say something about the seed shop? I should go there first then.

Rose walked across the small bridge and entered the still unfamiliar area.

The crops in the big field and the slightly less bigger field already had their crops near maturity.

"Wow, it's only the beginning of Spring and they got so much done.." Rose said quietly

Before she could go any further she heard voices in the white greenhouse that was next to the smaller field.

She couldn't make the words out but she knew there were about three people in there.

A minute or two passed until the voices quieted down and the door opened revealing a boy with brown hair and slightly darker brown eyes.

Rose ran away and hid behind the house on the right.

The first thing Rose would always do when she saw a boy without Violet was run and hide. No one knew why, not even her sister. Rose kept it a secret.

Rose turned her head slightly and caught a long glimpse of the boy.

I didn't see him yesterday...

The mystery boy was smiling and walking towards the fields, Rose scooted to the right angle to where she could still watch him and not be seen.

His clothes were worn down and his face had dirt on it. He looked like a complete mess overall actually.

The boy looked at one part of the huge field and smiled proudly.

"It took work, but I finally got it right!" He said, smiling proudly.

This made Rose smile too for some reason.

He doesn't seem bad. Wait, wasn't I here for Violet?

Rose completely forgot about the reason she came here in the first place.

She quietly got up and waited until the boy went inside the building she was hiding behind.

Rose froze up. I hope he didn't notice me. Thank the Harvest Goddess if he didn't.

She slipped out of her hiding spot, and all ran towards the path on her left.

I didn't hear Violet's voice in any of those buildings, she's somewhere else I just know it.

Rose ran until she saw an opened tent. Violet's and another woman's voice coming out of it.

"Violet's here!" Rose said happily while still keeping her composure.

Rose ran even more, despite her now sore feet from running so much, into the tent.

She entered the tent seeing Violet and the other lady look at her.

"Hey, Rose! You look like you ran a mara-" Violet began.

"Violet!" Rose said joyfully, her arms now wrapped around her sister's waist.

"thon..." Violet finished, now in a slight state of shock.

"I was worried..." Rose said shakily.

Violet smiled and hugged her sister tighter.

"Sorry Rose.." Violet said softly. She hated it when Rose was close to crying, especially when she knew it was her fault.

The woman smiled and stayed quiet so she wouldn't interrupt the two sisters.

"I saw the mines and went in one of them. I got lost after falling through a few pitfalls though..." Violet explained.

Violet then pulled her sister away and turned her around to the woman.

She had blonde hair close to the shade of theirs and glasses covering her purple eyes.

"I kept wandering in circles until I met Flora! She helped me out invited me inside. I guess I didn't keep track of time because we talked for hours."

Flora smiled and walked a little closer to Rose.

"Hi! You two do look alike, except for the eyes and hair of course." Flora said, sticking out her hand.

Why does everyone say that? Sure our eyes and hairstyles give it away but still.. Violet thought, spacing out a little.

Rose froze a little bit but still took Flora's hand and shook it to be polite.

"It's getting dark, we should leave now. Can we visit Flora?" Violet asked while heading outside.

Flora smiled. "Sure. You can meet my husband and kids later."

Violet nodded her head and left. Rose followed her down the path.

"Violet, why isn't her family with her?" Rose asked quietly.

"I dunno, Flora said they were in another town but she didn't tell me why." Violet said while shrugging her shoulders.

The walk remained quiet until the sisters walked towards the front door.

"Rose..." Violet began.

"Hm?" Rose responded while opening the door.

"Is it time for dinner? Can we have curry tonight? Please?" Violet asked as the sisters walked in and closed the door behind them.

Hope you liked it! Sorry I didn't write sooner. School has gotten about 110% harder since I finished a semester. I'm burned out completely before I even get off the bus! So I'm trying to use my weekends to type everything. If you have any ideas or suggestions then PLEASE review to tell me. Oh, and review to tell me what you think of the story too. I wanted this chapter to describe Rose more because when I read through my previous chapters I noticed that Rose was more quiet than intended. So I wanted to show the bond between the two (Sorry if that sounded cheesy) and Rose's emotions and thought about things. So hoped you liked it! Bye! :D P.S I dropped a few hints in this chapter about the girls father. Just like I said I would. P.S.S. I didn't completely introduce Ben but you didn't expect Rose to jump out and say "Hi There!" Did you?
