Chapter 3
Fifteenth Birthday
-Fourteen Years Later-
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIIKII!" the Sprites jumped for joy.
"Thank you so much you guys!" Kiikii gave them all a hug then pushed her glasses up.
It was just the beginning of summer, June 2, and the Sprites brought Kiikii down from the tree house that all the Sprites live in.
"I still don't believe that you're my cousins with a dwarf problem… It is just too strange."
The Sprites looked at each other with scared faces.
"Well… ahah yea right… Kiikii… forget about that… umm we got you a present! It is pretty big present and since your 15 you have to… well… leave home and start your own life." Squirt tried to explain everything calmly.
They walked over on the newly built roads looking at gorgeous new scenery. Everything had grown back from the terrible storm taken place 15 years ago. The Sprites made sure that Kiikii didn't remember anything from it. They were told from the goddess that she could not know… for the sake of her starting a normal life like her parents did. Kiikii was told by the Sprites that her parents died on a fishing trip and that she had to live with her cousins.
Kiikii finally registered the information, "WHAT? I have to live all by myself?"
"Well yes Kiikii we got a message from someone saying that you have to…" The Sprites were trying to cover up the fact that the message was actually a demand from the Harvest Goddess.
"UN-FAIR"
"It's ok come on it may be fun!"
They all walked for a while longer looking at the town being built. The animal stores were being stocked, the mayor's house was being built, and all the general stores were stocking up with seeds.
"You guys… I don't wanna move on my own…"
Kiikii had been complaining all the way there.
"We are here Kiikii! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Kiikii looked around to find they were on a big lot with a small house. There was a barn only big enough for a horse, a dog house, and a mailbox.
"See that house Kiikii?" Ralphy pointed into the distance. "You are living there."
Kiikii walked down to the house.
"So do I get money? Or something? How do I make money? How am I supposed to do this?"
"Kiikii… you live on your own now… you need to figure it out ok? We need to go now…"
"What? No! You guys have to help me… I don't know what to do!"
Kiikii turned around and the Sprites were gone. There was a note that floated to the ground. Kiikii picked it up and read-
Don't you worry, someone will be at your house soon to help you. Just be happy ok! We will come and check on you once you complete a few tasks…. And no we can't tell you what they are…. Well… Happy Birthday and Happy Farming Kiikii!
Sprites
" I can't believe it…"
The heartbroken Kiikii walked into her house. Inside there was a bed, a table, a bathroom, and a bookcase. She headed over to the bed and fell asleep hoping it was just a dream.

Instructions
*YAWN* Kiikii had just woken up from knocks on the door.
*TAP TAP TAP* Kiikii lugged herself out of bed to answer it.
"Hi there can I help you?" Kiikii looked at this rather plump man with a tall red hat and a matching red outfit. The man ran his finger thru his moustache.
"Yes! Nice to finally meet you Ms. Tsubaku! I am so happy you will be staying here!" He shook her hand.
Kiikii looked at him. She ran her fingers through her hair and gave it a tassel.
"What?"
"Well you see Kiikii we have been looking for a farmer to grow all the food here until the produce shipment comes." The man peeked inside the house.
"Wait who are you?" Kiikii pushed her glasses up.
"Oh what terrible manners I have… I am the Mayor of three islands! Mayor Thomas! This one is included."
"I see… and you want me to work here? Will that help with my money issue? Because I don't really think I'll have-"
The mayor stopped her.
"Don't you worry Ms. Tsubaku. Everything will be taken care of I promise! Listen here, all you have to do is take this money and buy the seeds on this list. Then you just take care of them and once they are nice and big ship them! It is not hard at all and I am so happy you could take the job."
Thomas gave Kiikii the list and 20,000G.
"Well where is the shop for the seeds?"
"I'll come back tomorrow and tell you. Right now you need to clean up the field and head to the general shop in the town for a hoe and watering can. I promise you everything will be fine."
Kiikii looked at the money and list in her hand.
"Ok… well I guess this inst to bad…"
"Good! I'll see you tomorrow then!"
Thomas walked of the farm and back into town. Kiikii, on the other hand, had to get ready for work. She clipped her suspenders and took the money off to the general store.
