Greetings 1

It was early in the afternoon, and Rutger had showed me my new farm and cottage. It was actually really nice. Everything was perfect. A fair sized barn and pasture, and a cute chicken coop. It was wonderful. Birds singing, butterflies fluttering, and a cool, but refreshing, breeze. Rutger told me that I should go around the village for today, and that work would start tomorrow.
I finished packing my things and showered in records time. Rutger had given me Bluebellian clothing, but I didn't feel like wearing it yet. Instead, I put on a black long sleeved shirt, a white knee-length skirt, and black boots. I tied my hair in a side ponytail with a rose-colored scrunchie. This was Destiny City's kind of clothing. I wondered what the villagers here wore, and how the village looked like.

I stared in awe at the church. So that was the church I saw when the Harvest Goddess and I, er, fell from the sky.
I didn't really pay attention to the church when Rutger and I were walking to my farm.
"Beautiful" was all I can say, my mouth slightly agape. There were many butterflies fluttering around the church, the sun's rays were shining its glory on the church. The roof was shiny, but had a soft look to it. The stained glass looked so beautiful with the sun shining on them.
I climbed up the stairs, so I can get a closer look at the church. By the flowerbeds, I saw an old lady. She looked over to me when I went near the fountain.
"Hello, dear. You must be Lillian, the new farmer!" The old lady said to me. She looked very friendly and cute. Justlikegrandma...
"U-uh, yes ma'am. Good afternoon" I stuttered. She old lady giggled, and walked up to me. She held out a small, wrinkled hand. "My name is Rose. I'm the mayor's wife. My, how cute you look." She said, a big smile on her face. My cheeks turned a light pink at her compliment. I eagerly took her hand, I lightly shook it, it looked so fragile, as if it would snap if I shook it too hard.
"How do you like the town so far?" Rose asked.
"OH, this village...it's BEAUTIFUL! The flowers, butterflies, everything!" I exclaimed, my hands clasped in front of my chest, a smile on my face. My eyes snapped wide open when I realized I just had a sudden outburst. I lowered my head, staring at my feet, face red. Ahh,what have I done?Such a bad first impression..and where did that come from?I'm usually a quiet person...
Already knowing how Rose would react, I shut my eyes tightly.
Instead of what I expected, Rose chuckled. "Ah, youth. You have a nice personality. You'll definitely fit in!"
What Rose said made me very happy. Nobody has ever said that to me. I smiled. A big smile, the biggest one I've ever had since my last birthday party over at Phillip's house-
Phillip...
Rose probably noticed the change in my eyes.
"Anyway, Lillian, I've got to get back to taking care of the flowerbeds. It was nice chatting with you, come over to the town hall and we can have tea together!" I nodded my head. "Nice meeting you, Rose! Oh, and the flowerbeds are beautiful!" I complimented before taking off to see the rest of what the village is like.

I entered the main part of the village. To my left was another farm, with a shop. To my right was what looked like a horse shop, and in the pasture had horse stables and horses. There was a girl who looked to be one or two years younger than me brushing a horse.
Right now, it should be around 1:00pm. I still had seven hours to go around the villages and into some shops, so I decided to visit the animal shop.
On the sign next to the shop, written in big letters, it said Jessica's Animals. I knocked before I opened the door, it was a shop, so I didn't have to wait for anyone to open it for me from the inside...right?
I slowly opened the door, and poked my head in. Behind a counter that had products on it had a woman and a cute little girl.
"Welcome to Jessica's Animals! How may I help you?" the woman greeted. I went in the shop then closed the door. The little girl's eyes widened, then the went over to the lady. She tugged on the woman's dress. "What is it, dear?"
"MOOOOOOM! THAT'S THE NEW GIRL, LILLIAN!" the little girl said, pointing a finger at me. A few seconds passed, then the little girl and her mother came walking over to me. "My, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were Lillian! Hello, Lillian, nice to meet you! My name is Jessica!" She held out a hand. I shook it, and nodded. "Well, as you know, my name is Lillian. I come from Destiny City." I said with a smile at my face. Jessica nodded, then expectantly looked at her daughter. "Of course, we know where you came from," the little girl giggled " My name is Cheryl! Nice to meet you, Lillian! You look pretty. " Cheryl said. My cheeks were tainted pink again, my second compliment of the day. I was also a bit freaked out; Cheryl said that they knew where I came from...
I smiled knowingly at Cheryl. "Thank you, Cheryl. You're actually very cute, if I do say so myself." Cheryl squealed. "Mom, you can go back now. I need to tell Lillian a few things about the village."
"Okay, dear." Jessica said, then nodded and smiled at me. I smiled back.
Cheryl's big smile turned into a dark glare once her mother was back behind the counter. "Listen, Lillian," Cheryl said in a dark, threatening voice. Seriously, there was a dark aura flowing out of her. I was actually a bit frightened, but I managed to keep a calm composure. I gulped.
"If you ever try to make a move on my brother OR go out on a date with him, you are going to regret it..." My eyes widened. Cheryl's death glare instantly became a big smile. "That's all I have to say! Nice chatting with you, Lillian!" Cheryl waved me goodbye, before walking back behind the counter. I waved goodbye to Cheryl and her mother, before opening the door. "Oh, and Lillian, can I call you Lily? It's easier!" Cheryl asked with a big smile on her face. I nodded. "Okay, Cheryl," I smiled. "Nice meeting you guys! See you around!"
When I was about to close the door, Jessica called out my name. "Lillian!"
I opened the door, enough to poke my head in. "Yes?"
"Tomorrow, I am going to stop by your house to give you some animals to start out your farm. Be up early! I'll be there at seven A.M sharp."
"Oh, okay. Thanks, Jessica! See you~"
I stood outside their door for a few moments, before I heard Jessica talk. "That's nice, Cheryl! You made a new friend!"
"Yes, mom! Lily's a nice person. I think we'll get along well!" Cheryl giggled.
I tear-dropped.
