Chapter 4
Village Center Lot
I kept walking, and ended up in front of a little cottage like house with a plus on the front. 'Clinic,' it read. 'Open from 6AM-6PM closed on Thursdays and Holidays,' hm. I said, and opened the door. A doctor with straight, messy hair and a cute face walked up to me. I blushed a little, but shook it off. He wore a lab coat over a green polo shirt and black tie. "Hello, you must be the new farmer," he said. I smiled, and explained myself yet again. "I see… well, take care of yourself. Just to make sure, I'll do a checkup on you." Great. He was cute but he was still a doctor. Doing his job, hooray. "Ugh," I groaned, "Fine." He smiled and did a quick check-up. "Well, you're just fine. But, remember, staying up late isn't good for your body." I smiled politely, and nodded. "Well, I'm going to have to go now... Do you happen to know where I can go to get my land?" He nodded, and pointed out the window to a mansion-like building. "Okay, thank you. Um… doctor?" He laughed and said, "Call me Alex." I nodded and waved bye.
--30 minutes later—
I was finally there, at the mansion like building, obviously the mayor's house. I knocked on the door and came in. "Hello?" "Jasmine? Jasmine Wolffe?" a plump man asked with a clipboard in his hands and a top hat maximizing his smallness. "Yes, that's me, thank you for the land, Mr. Theodore!" I said, perkily. "Oh, no problem, miss. You can just call me Theodore! He looked at his clock, and said, "5:30, a little late for a tour… why don't you just pick a lot from these three, first. Then we can tour tomorrow." I smiled and nodded. "Okay, so first up is the Village Center Lot. It has very small space, so you won't be able to build chicken coops or barns unless you buy extra land, but there is a space next to it where you can plant crops… Oh, and it's close to the Blue Sky Ranch, (Billy's Place) and Alex's Clinic. It's also conveniently located near the tool shop and village center. We hold festivals there." I thought about it, and decided I wanted this lot. "I'll take that one," I said. I could buy more land later, anyways. "Alrighty, then let me take you there." We walked only a few minutes to my new house and Theodore said goodbye, so that I could rest. I waved, and then looked around. My house was okay… It looked very small from the outside, but okay. I opened the door and chucked my bag inside, I'd need to clean up the yard first.
--2 hours later—
I breathed heavily, who knew pulling weeds was so tough! It was about 8 PM when I heard little footsteps while I was walking over to turn in for the night. "That's her, yeah!" shouted a little voice. I looked down, and three little elfs were staring at me; I stared back. "Can you see us?" A red one asked. "Uh, yes…" I said sort of sarcastically. "Really?" chuckled the yellow one. "This is great, yeah!" said the blue one. I yawned and said, "Well, I think I'm a little too tired today, so I'll be going now , since I'm probably hallucinating." "No, wait!" said the red one. "I'm sorry, but I'll have to get to you tomorrow? Alright? I'm really sorry, okay?" I waved and shut the door on my hallucinations. I yawned and stretched, unpacking my bags. I changed into my plaid sleepwear, and moved around the furniture a bit. I assessed the house and found I had a knife set on the kitchen set. What would I make with that? I'd have to look up some recipes or find some better cooking wear. I turned on the TV, and it was on the weather channel. "Well, since winter was so snowy, I suppose you citizens of Flower Bud have earned some sun; Sunshine will be shining through the whole country tomorrow. 100% chance of sun the whole day through! Have fun, and don't forget the sunscreen," said a red haired girl. I changed the channel and one talked about the egg festival coming up. I looked to the calendar, and it was right. Yesterday was New Year's… hm. I hadn't noticed that. My eyelids were getting heavy, so I decided I'd hit the hay, literally this time. I jumped into my itchy bed and fell asleep.
