Disclaimer: I've already written a bunch of Harvest Moon Fanfiction! Do you think at this point, I'd be owning it? Of course not! If I were a member of Natsume, I'd be demanding more lines for all of the villagers! I'd also want more scenes for all the established couples in Magical Melody, and I'd REALLY be demanding some sort of secret code where you can run around Flower Bud Village as Alex and spout out random flowery text like the romantic he is! So yes, I don't own the legal properties of Harvest Moon, or its characters. I would; however, want a game where Alex gets to be a pimp, because I can already tell girls would dig this NPC.

It was a typical Fall day in Flower Bud Village. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and leaves fell about in a beautiful display. Mayor Theodore's regal abode was especially peaceful, until a violently pounding interrupted their usual quiet.

Dressed in his black top hat and red suit, with his brown hair and mustached fixed appropriately for a political figure, Mayor Theodore called out to the mysterious visitor, "Go ahead and come on in! The door's unlocked!"

Immediately upon announcing that, the visitor kicked the door open and rushed mercilessly into the room, stopping merely inches before the short, stout mayor.

The young lady standing before the Mayor had chocolate-brown hair styled in pigtails held up in green ribbons. Her big, jade eyes glared at the Mayor with great intensity. She wore a trendy green blazer over a black sleeveless top, with a matching green skirt at below. What was most peculiar, however, were the black kitten ears worn atop her head.

The Mayor stared dumbfounded at the stranger that barged into his house, especially at her cat ears.

"Ah, eh, emmmm... I'm sorry, but we do not allow the soliciting of prostitutes in our fair vill---"

The cat-eared stranger slapped the dickens out of the poor Mayor before he could finish his sentence.

"PROSTITUTE? WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GODS ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT!" she shouted.

With his right hand trembling to feel his bruised cheek, the Mayor instead used his left hand to point out the cat ears on her head. The young lady patted her head vigorously to feel the cat ears on her head. After her momentary embarrassment, the young lady removed the ears and placed them in a blazer pocket.

The young lady let out a nervous laugh. "Aha... I'm sorry, it's a fashion accessory from the city where I came from. I've worn them so often that I easily forget they're resting on my head, you know!"

After taking a moment to clear her breath, the young lady took out an add from her other blazer pocket and thrust it right above Mayor Theodore's head.

"I have read your 'Exciting Ranch Plan', and I would like to purchase a plot of land to start a new life here!" she announced in a more courteous, professional tone.

The Mayor glared at her curiously. "Well, that is nice to hear. I am glad to have so many responses to my advertisement, especially from the urban area! Unfortunately, our available land has dwindled since the original posted date. Numerous businesses have been buying out the most promising lots, our local farmer has already bought out two of our cheapest lots available, and his sister had just recently moved in and received the remaining cheap lot. If you're still interested in starting an independent business of sorts, you're going to have to provide with a whole lot of gold. By the way, I still haven't quite caught your name, miss."

Swiftly, the young lady dropped a large big of gold right next to the mayor. "My name is Rothe Emerlad Freya from the city of Asgard, and I'm sure this impressive sack of money should be more than enough to satisfy the price of land you'd be interested in!" she exclaimed.

The Mayor slowly opened the bag and drooled over the shining brilliance of gold that he was presented with. He then took it over to a nearby desk and let it rest on top while grabbing a near by scroll at the same time. He then calmly walked over to Rothe, and unrolled what appeared to be a map of the town.

"You can go ahead and choose any plot of land left that's marked in green. I'll go ahead and subtract the appropriate difference from your bag of gold and return the rest to you later" Mayor Theodore explained.

After carefully scanning the map, Rothe pointed to a humble spot of land on the lower right hand corner. "I'll take this one! The piece of land called Flower Bud Point!"

Mayor Theodore took quick note of this. "Okay, then! Flower Bud Point it is! Just to let you know, the land has a really good view of the ocean; however, aspiring farmers will have a rough time with the poor quality soil. Considering your current funding situation, but I'm sure you could afford to spend a little extra fixing it up with some fertilizer! Just be thankful that our local farmer Jack has been shipping in the limestone, or we would have none to spare!"

Rothe gave Mayor Theodore a funny look. "Uh, okay... sure... I'll keep all of that in mind. Anyway, thanks for hooking me up with the land then..."

"Sure, sure! I'll let the carpenters know about this new arrangement and get them started on the house immediately! In the mean time, you could go back and stay over at Asgard for a little longer, or you could spend a few nights at the inn. I wouldn't worry about it too much, as our boys are the best at offering a quality home in the shortest possible time!" Mayor Theodore announced proudly.

"Eh... I guess I'll be staying at the Inn. I already brought over my things from the apartment, and I think it would be a hassle just to go back there for just a few more days." Rothe answered.

"Oh, okay then. Just take the southern road and continue forward until you reach the ocean and it turns right. The Inn should be the second building to your right, with the bread sign in front of it. Make sure not to mistaken your destination with the nearby Cafe" The Mayor instructed.

"Okay, thanks for the help, Mayor!" Rothe grinned as she happilly left the house.

As the sassy young lady took her leave, Mayor Theodore stared at her back curiously. "Hmmm... we've seemed to attract an 'interesting' crowd around these parts lately." He then shrugged as he turned to his precious bounty. "Oh well, time to count the money!" he grinned.

On her way to the Inn, Rothe began thinking a bit over her old life. "Feh... I'm glad I'm finally leaving behind that boring Librarian job at Asgard! It's always so dull there, being quiet is practically my job, and my boss never gives me the time to write up that novel I've always wanted to finish! It's a shame... that Ein and Ledah had to go and join the Army like that and leave me all alone. Sure, I could've enlisted along with them. Heck, if I was looking for excitement didn't really care about being with those guys, I would've joined INTERPOL for crying out loud! People have always told me I have the smarts and guts to live that kind of life! But ever since Ledah's fiancée Lorelei died in that incident, none of us have ever really been the same, especially poor Ledah. And I guess... even if my two friends were somehow inspired to join the Armed Forces, I just... lost my nerve for the exciting life back there. Whatever, I've left behind the apartment the three of us used to share, and right now, I stand in the land of my brand new beginning! The fresh air, the beautiful nature, the crazy-ass Mayor... man, I just know I'm going to love it here!"

After a few more minutes of walking while not paying much attention to the road, she happened to bump into one the many locales, who did not seem to enjoy the collision at all.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and--"

"Stop your useless small talk!"

Standing before her was a sexually ambiguous individual wearing a cowboy hat and a poncho arranged in various shades of violet. The cowboy's violet hair appeared was on the short side, while the ice blue eyes glared at her with intense hatred.

"What the heck are you staring at? Move, already!" The purple cowboy shouted at a startled Rothe.

The green-clad female leapt back in a panic. The angry individual then continued following the road while muttering various disparaging things about humanity in general. "People suck..."

After taking a few more steps forward, Rothe turned her head to look at the angst-ridden cowboy and quickly faced forward again.

"Yep... I'm starting to love this place already" she muttered aloud sarcastically.
