Spring was just around the corner and there is rumours going around Pelican Town that a new farmer is going to move into that old farm on the west side of town. Majority of the townsfolk wondering who would take a farm in such a state, there were overgrown shrubs, bushes trees, hell even boulders that would take an impossibly strong pickaxe to break. A couple of villagers were excited about a new person to enter the community. I mean the towns population was barely 30 people, it’s starting to get a bit boring.

“Dude who do you think is going to move in?… I bet she’s gonna be hot.” Sebastian sighs as Sam flutters his lashes in the cool winter air as thoughts bounce around his mind. Heart racing with anticipation and excitement.
“How do you even know it will be a girl, Sam.” Seb mutters, growing impatient with the blonde as this has been almost the only topic they have talked about for the past hour.
“Ugh, you’re so boring Seb, can’t you atleast have a positive mind about this one thing? What if it’s a super hot chick our age, how cool would that be!” Sam exclaimed, practically frothing at the sheer thought of it.
“I’m just being realistic here. What are the chances a hot girl our age will move into an old run down farm in a town with practically no one living here. The probability is slim to none.” Sebastian looked at Sam with a bored expression and went back to enjoying the last little bit of cold weather, the air was getting slightly warmer, with spring just days away which is always Seb’s least favourite time of year, as it means back to hot weather.
“God you’re starting to sound like Maru, you need to get out of the house more dude.” Sam’s comment was met with a huff and an eye roll. A minute went by when Sam suddenly jumped up with an idea.
“Okay you know what Seb? You’re on! I bet that in a couple of days a smoking hot farmer is going to move into that farm. I get it right you owe me pizza for the rest of the week, you win, and I’ll buy you sashimi for the rest of the week. Deal?”
Amused, knowing his probability of winning was much, much higher than Sam’s, and that fresh sashimi for a week sounded like heaven.
“ I am going to laugh so hard when it’s some random middle aged man moving in to pursue his fishing dream or something.” Seb teased with a smirk.
“Hey! Don’t you dare insult Willy. He’s basically the chillest guy in this town!” Sam said sarcastically as the two shook hands.
“Deal!”

Spring Day 1
I was finally free from the shackles of Joja, moving to my Grandpa’s farm in this place called Stardew Valley. I left my old life behind and was ready to start new.. in a new town… leaving everything and everyone I knew…. With zero farming experience. I quickly shook away all of the bad thoughts, determined that this was the best decision I have ever made. I mean how bad could it really be, a farm passed down to me, a town right on the beach, next to beautiful woods, mountains lakes, rivers and even a quick bus ride to the desert. How much more can a girl ask for after enduring that hellhole people call Joja Mart. God even that name gives me a shiver down my spine.
I was so happy to be able to unleash my inner farm girl, and maybe meet a cute farm boy. I mean what are the chances a cute boy my age will be in a town with the population smaller than my science class in high school… Maybe I should work on lowering my expectations a bit.
After one long bus ride, I stepped out into the fresh air of the valley. Spring had brought a beautiful scent of blossoming trees, fruit and gorgeous flowers, it was so much different to the smoke and fog of the city.
With all of my belongings fitting into a rather small suitcase, I dragged it along the dirt road and made my way to my Grandpas farm. His pride and joy. I could not ruin this farm, and bring shame on myself. A sudden volt of determination went through my veins as I picked up my pace, I was going to make this the best farm on earth!
It was almost exactly how I pictured it, trees engulfing the land, shrubs, bushes and boulders taking up the space everywhere the trees weren’t. Suddenly that volt had faded almost faster than it came, seeing how much effort the farm was actually going to need.
“Ah fuck this, I might aswell drop my stuff off and go introduce myself to everyone. I heard most of them were lovely” I said out loud trying to fill in the silence of the land other than the occasional chirp of the birds or noise of the crickets. It was almost too quiet, hopefully I won’t have too much of a struggle falling asleep. I’ll worry about it later.
The walk into town was ethereal, the early spring sun had really came in full force, energising my body, the air felt thick and comforting as I made my way to Pierre’s General Store to stock up on some seeds, that I hopefully get the motivation to plant within the next couple of days.
Lost in thought, browsing the wide seed collection, a gasp rang through the shop, I whipped my head around at the noise to be greeted by a grinning blonde and a gloomy man looking defeated by something.
“Hi! You’re the new farmer right? I’m Sam and this behind me is Sebastian!”
Slightly caught off guard, and a bit enthralled by the quite attractive man infront of you staring straight at you with a cute smile… Get it together girl you just met this guy!
“Oh hi, um yeah, I’m the new farmer… uh how did you know I was coming?” I felt my face starting to burn at how awkward I was all of a sudden. What is wrong with me aghhh!
“This is a small town in the country, anything even remotely exciting gets these people talking. Say what did you say your name was again?”
“Oh yeah that makes sense, sorry I don’t think i introduced myself I am Y/N, I’m moving into my Grandpa’s farm he gave me after he passed…” I spoke shyly as I realised that last part might not have been necessary and the two boys gave me pitying looks.
“I’m so sorry, I had no idea.”
Sensing the mood getting awkward rather quickly I tried to cover myself.
“Oh no it’s fine really! I’m fine! I’m not too upset about it, he went peacefully and lived an amazing life, he was happy! Me on the other hand, gosh am I scared to move in not knowing anything or anyone!” Oh my god, oh my god please shut your mouth why are you telling these two random guys you just met your whole life story!!
Sam and Sebastian gave eachother a look, seemingly thinking on how to respond to that.
“…..Uhh anyways I gotta go so I’ll see you guys later!” I shouted as I darted out the store as quick as my legs would go. Wow that was the worst interaction I’ve had for a while, and to a couple of cute guys aswell? Ugh I am so useless when it comes to talking to people. Maybe a desk job indoors 8 hours a day 5 days a week with minimal human interaction wasn’t the best thing for me.

“Dude did you see her! She was gorgeous! Oh my god Seb what did you say my chances were again? Slim to none? HAH! Oh I am so ready to have pizza every night this week-“
“Yeah yeah, whatever Sam, you win congrats bro.” A not so amused anymore Sebastian replied to the very overjoyed Sam.
“Damn that’s kinda harsh that her Grandpa died, I fully forgot about that old man that used to live there, didn’t think he would have any family. He didn’t like me very much.”
“That’s because you stole his tomatoes to try and make pizza sauce, you’re still making up those hours in community service how did you forget that” Sebastian says while facepalming.
“Huh, I guess my community service hours are just apart of my normal routine so I don’t even think about what got me there in the first place. I guess that’s why”
“Sam, the whole point of the community service hours is so you think about what you’ve done wrong-“ Seb trailed off as Sam had mentally clocked out of the conversation, thinking about his next interaction with the pretty new farmer.
