Harvest Dream

Author’s Note: You’ll have to forgive me if this is the weirdest fanfic that you had ever read because it is the first one that I have ever written in my entire life. I’m a major fan of Harvest Moon and I decided that my first fanfic was going to be a Harvest Moon one. Well, here goes… I hope you enjoy it!


Chapter 1


Is it a nightmare? Or is a good dream…? Maybe you can tell me. I’ve been through so much within the past few weeks that it’s enough to make someone’s head spin. Sometimes life has a funny way of messing with some people, dreams too. I guess I’m just one of the many. My name is Jill and this is my story.

Just recently, I had moved here to this small place called Mineral Town in search for new exciting things to happen in my life so I took on a job to keep my own farm. As I arrive to my new home, I stare out into the field just knowing how stressful it’s going to be cleaning up the place. Just as I was deep in thought, I felt someone tap on my shoulder so I turned around to see a short man with a large round nose, a top hat and a red suit.
¨Hello. I’m Thomas, the mayor of this town. Are you a tourist?¨

I shook my head, ¨No, my name is Jill. I’m here in reply to the ad in the newspaper.¨ Suddenly, the mayor started laughing. ¨What may I ask is so funny, sir?¨ I asked.

¨Oh, young lady, it’s just that you are one of the many people who have fallen for that ad. Most people expected to come and find a beautiful farm already filled with cows and chickens but once they come to the farm they are disappointed and leave. We made the ad seem like it’s a beautiful farm when all it is right now is a wreck! And you fell for it! Ha ha ha ha!¨ I just stood there, annoyed, watching as the mayor was having a good laugh.

¨You…!!¨ I took out my hammer and smashed him on the head.

¨Owww….¨ said the mayor and he spun around in a circle and fell to the ground. ¨You shouldn’t do that to people! That’s what you get for making such a horrible ad! ¨ The mayor got up, held his head for a moment and brushed himself off, ¨Okay, okay… I’m sorry… Well, the farm isn’t as bad as it seems. The barns are usable and the house is easy to live in. So… what do you say? Do you plan on staying here and take on the farm? ¨.

¨Well… okay I guess. Yeah. I’ll take the farm.¨ I replied. ¨Well, Jill… Welcome to Mineral Town! If you ever need anything the townspeople can help you. Take care. Bye.¨ said the mayor as he was leaving.

¨Hmmm…¨, I thought to myself, ¨what am I going to do now…? I guess I could go visit the people in town…¨ And so began my new life on the farm.

Feedback please! How was that so far? Good I hope. Well, I’ll be doing the next chapter soon!

[Butterscotch]

So far so good. The first paragraph is intriguing. ^_~

I would suggest putting each line of charatcers dialouge in its own paragraph; it makes it easier to tell who is speaking.

[VenusAdept]

Umm... ok. I guess I`ll do that.. *fixes it* Is that better?

Chapter 2

Just as I started walking into town… I couldn’t have been more surprised! ¨Oh how beautiful this town is…! ¨ I thought to myself. Just up the road from my place was a blacksmith’s shop and I decided to enter just to say hello. And hello indeed! Who’s Mr. Blue-Eyes!? ¨Hello, my name is Jill. I’m new in town.¨ I said as I introduced myself.

¨My name is Saibara and this is my grandson, Gray.¨ Gray waved shyly. I blushed and just stared at Gray. I couldn’t believe how cute he is!

¨Well, while I’m here, I might as well buy some stuff for my farm. Could I have a brush, please? ¨ I asked.

¨Here you go.¨ said Saibara as he handed me the brush. ¨Thank you very much! Bye! ¨ And I left the store.

After I exited the store, I looked to my left and I noticed two other farms along the road.
One of the farms was a farm that raises cows and sheep and the other was a poultry farm. Just as I was walking down the road heading towards the two farms, a chicken came out of nowhere and jumped on me. I instantly fell to the ground screaming and the chicken was running around on top of me. Then, coming from the poultry farm came a guy with orange hair and glasses.

¨Oh my god! I’m so sorry about the chicken! Here…¨, he picked up the chicken and placed it in the pen, ¨Are you okay? I hope you’re not hurt.¨

¨No… I’m okay. I’m not hurt anywhere or anything… just a bit startled that’s all. I mean, just imagine that you’re walking along, minding your own business and all of a sudden a chicken jumps at you! ¨ I laughed.

The boy’s eyes widened. ¨Whoa… scary thought.¨, he started to laugh, ¨My name is Rick by the way, what’s your name? ¨

¨Jill. I’m the new owner of the farm that is just around the corner. Nice to meet you Rick. Well, I was just going around town meeting everyone so I better let you go. Bye! ¨ I said as I got up and slowly walked away.

¨Bye! See you another time! ¨ replied Rick.

I continued walking along and I saw many cows and sheep at the second farm. ¨How cute! ¨ I thought to myself. Now was not the time! I had to meet other people! I checked my watch and it was noon. Oh no! Not much time left! And so I started heading to the northern part of town.

It may seem repetitive… I certainly hope it doesn`t. She`s going to meet the other people of Mineral Town but not everyone. Going to type up Chapter 3 soon!

[VenusAdept]

Oh! And Feedback please!

[Butterscotch]

Its cute so far. Its hard to comment on it since there isn't much of a plot yet. I'm looking forward to the drama hinted at in the first paragraph of the first chapeter. Anyway, keep writing.

[VenusAdept]

You`re right... not much of a plot. Well... I`m not quite the writer. Always failed or barely passed English. -_-` And my mother read the comment of mine (the impatient one) and she lightly smacked me on the back. Lol. I guess I deserve it... lol

[Butterscotch]

Its not bad. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[VenusAdept]

Thank you. Now... I`m gonna start writing more of my fanfic... ^_^

Chapter 3


As I’m heading up towards the northern part of Mineral Town I saw three women standing around in the main square gossiping away. I didn’t bother talking with them since they seemed to be busy. I continued to make my way around town; I saw a church so I decided to go inside. “Whoa… there are so many cute guys around here!” I thought to myself as I glanced at a guy with brown hair and brown clothes. After looking at the cute guy, I walked up to the pastor of the church to say hello.

“Hello, my name is Jill.” I said.

“Hello, I’m Carter, the pastor of this church. You must be the new owner of the farm… welcome to our small town. If you ever have any burdens that you carry you can always come here to take the weight off your shoulders. Speaking of taking weight off of shoulders, could you perhaps do me a small favour? See that young man over there? His name is Cliff and he just recently came to town. What he needs is more friends… could you perhaps take him around town with you and make friends with the people around town, together?” asks Carter.

“Of course… I’d be glad to help! At the same time, I’ll be making friends too! When should I take him around?”

“Maybe now would be a good idea…! Cliff looks really down so maybe you could cheer him up!” Carter replies.

I turn around and look at Cliff, noticing that he was praying with the saddest expression on his face. “Hello Cliff! My name is Jill and I’m new in town! I’m here to take you along with me on my tour around town. You know this place a little better than I do so maybe you can show me around a little?” I asked him in a cheerful voice.

“Oh…ummm… sure, I guess…” said Cliff in a quiet voice. And so, Cliff and I left the church side by side.

Sorry that I’m taking so long to post my chapters and sorry if it’s not so interesting right now but I’m slowly getting there. Just trying to come up with ideas for my story. I have like, 3 or 4, but some of them are kind of corny. *laughs* Well, the next chapter will be a bit more interesting so look forward to the next chapter!

[Butterscotch]

Cute chapter. ^-^

[Pickle]

Yes, very nifty.

[VenusAdept]

I'm glad you like it. ^_^ I haven't really been writing but I'll try to soon.

[Pickle]

Take your time. Haste makes waste.

However, if you get one of those creative outburst, the type as fast as you can!
