Hi, people! This is your old friend, Izzy. Lexi and I have created this chain of short stories called ' My Mary Sue'. I hope everyone knows what a Mary Sue is. These are not meant to be good, just written well (good punctuation and spelling), we're poking fun at stereotype stories out there! (Don't be offended!)

Please feel free to send us messages with any ideas we could use to write a short story with. We might consider them. COMING SOON: Leonardo DiCaprio comes to Mineral Town!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon.

Tiger yawned and fell out of bed, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. My second day in Mineral Town! She thought, I am so excited! She had arrived only the day before with one satchel containing her nunchucks and samurai sword, and the other; a range of stylish apparel. When she entered her tiny cottage, she felt instantly at home, and had worked incredibly hard the day before, selling grasses, apples and honey. She had been awarded with 300g for her efforts and was incredibly excited to purchase a chicken.

Now, when many first meet Tiger, they are a bit skeptical of her, especially when she announces the fact that she is not just Tiger, but actually, Sensei Tiger. She is extremely skilled in martial arts and had just finished receiving a range of prestigious degrees from her university in Japan, before deciding to settle down on the farm. Tiger is amazingly thin (all that karate paid off!) with shocking blue eyes and a wave of charcoal black hair that cascades down her back. Her lips are as red as a dragon's tongue and in her boarding school as a child, she was always reprimanded for 'wearing lipstick', when in fact, the deep cherry was her natural color.

But all that is beside the point. We shall carry on with the story.

Tiger washed her face, brushed her teeth until gleaming, and combed her luscious locks. She smiled brightly at her reflection. Hey, Sensei, you look good today. She told the mirror. It did not reply. Tiger laughed at herself and slipped on a form-fitting tee shirt and black skinny jeans. She tied up her hair and the laces to her sneakers to complete what she believed to be the 'farmer look' then headed out the door.

"Big T! How's it going'?!"Cried a loud voice. Tiger had just finished collecting the grasses, mushrooms, apples and honey of the day.

"Oh, hello, Cliff." Said Tiger, flashing a brilliant beam. He looked dazed for a second, before recollecting himself.

"Say, do you need any help on that farm?" he asked.

"Naw, I'm good." She smiled again, "I'm going pretty well." *Giggle*

"Okay. If you need anything…"

"Sure thing. It's great to know I have such kind, helpful, absolutely sweet neighbors around if I need them!" Tiger praised. Cliff blushed.

"Thanks. I'll be going, now. See you around."

.God….! Tiger squealed when he had left, He is so cute! I hope he likes me. Did you see how he blushed! Another squeal.

Tiger put Cliff out of her mind and skipped down the cobble-stone street towards the Poultry Farm. She was buying her first chicken. When she arrived, a boy walked out of the little building. He had sandy hair and enormous, round glasses.

"Oh, hi!" said the boy, "I'm Rick. I help run the farm. So, you're the new girl down at Sensei Farm. By the way, why did you name it 'Sensei Farm'?"

"Because I am a Sensei. D'oh." Said Tiger, rolling her eyes.

"Are you kidding me?!" He cried in disbelief.

"No. I am not kidding you. You're being very rude."

"You're no more of a martial arts master than this chicken!" he indicated to a particularly fat one.

"Want me to prove it?"

"Go ahead."

And with that, Tiger lifted her right leg and delivered a rather nasty kick to his stomach.

"OW!" he bellowed.

Tiger gave him a smirk and stalked off. God, guys are, like, so dumb. She thought. I'm gonna show the whole town just how good at karate I am. I'll hold a tournament.

The next day, as various members of the town walked past the notice board, whether to visit the beach, or to go to the two farms, or to church, or even to get a drink at the inn, their eyes would be drawn to the large, glossy piece of purple paper reading:

Hello, fellow townspeople! You may not know me yet, but I am Tiger, Sensei Tiger, and I have just moved into what is now called 'Sensei Farm'. I have met a few of you already, and have been quite amazed at the fact that you will not believe that I am a Sensei! It is mind-boggling.

But I feel I must prove myself to you, so I am officially holding the FIRST EVER Mineral Town Marital Art Mania Tournament!(Everyone will be going against ME.)

If you wish to participate or watch, all you need to do is come to the Town Square tomorrow at 11 o'clock. You'd better be ready for me.

X - Sensei Tiger

At precisely eleven of the clock, the square was buzzing with spectators, and in the middle, the challengers congregated. Gray, Rick, Karen and Gotz scowled in the middle.

"Jeez." Said Karen, "Why are you here, Rick? There is no way that you can beat any of us!"

"I'm not fighting you. We are all fighting Tiger."

"What? She thinks she can do KARATE?" Karen let out a scream of mirth. But just then, Tiger walked onto the mat in the center, where everyone was standing. She gave an evil eye to Karen,

"You'll go first."She said.

Tiger looked ravishing in her orange and black striped robes. She was wearing a lot of eye makeup, orange eye shadow, and black lipstick. Only Karen didn't look impressed.

"Bring it on."Said Karen, raising her eyebrows.

At the end of the afternoon, Tiger was in a fabulous mood and Gray, Rick, Karen and Gotz were moping for Tiger had won each fight. Even butch and burly Gotz could not match up to her superior skills. Rick was furious ("She CHEATED!"), Gray was annoyed ("She ticks me off."), Karen was biting her lip, trying not to cry and trying not to scream ("I will kill her. HOW HUMILIATING!") and Gotz was confused ("What?").

Tiger congratulated all of them, and then presented a medal to herself. The Mayor clapped as did all of the others, including Cliff who laughed and wolf-whistled.

"Go me!" cried Tiger.

"Yeah, go you!" exclaimed Ann.

Cliff smiled.

Thanks; please R+R!
