Dear Farmer,Â
Tonight at around ten oâclock PM, a rare and beautiful event will take place. The moonlight jellies will be passing by Pelican Town on their long journey south for the winter. Weâre all gathering at the beach to watch. You donât want to miss this!Â
See you tonight,
Demetrius.Â
My parents would always pick me up from Grandpaâs before the dance of the moonlight jellies. When Mom was around, Grandpa would plead with her for me to stay another night and that he would take me to the city. It was Dadâs rule though. He didnât pick me up or drop me off and Grandpa wasnât allowed to come to our home. Looking back, Mom probably wanted me to stay but knowing Dad, it wasnât going to happen. Iâve begged Dad to tell me why his relationship with Grandpa was so strained but he never went into much detail. âHe was hard on me. Just leave it at that.â I would beg Grandpa for answers too. âThatâs something for your father to tell you, when he feels ready.â I havenât spoken to Dad at all since I moved to the valley. I wonder if he feels deja vu.
Iâm making poppy seed muffins as my summer flower garden has been more than bountiful this year. I figured a little late night snack would do the town good and maybe improve my friendliness with some of the villagers I havenât gotten to know that well. Iâve learned that I canât be cold and off putting like I was in the city. If I want to live a good life here, I have to be like Grandpa.Â
âSmells good in here, Farmer,â I recognized Samâs voice immediately. Iâm making a honey glaze for the muffins that are baking in the oven. I look over my shoulder and catch a glimpse of the trio of people Iâve been able to call my closest friends.Â
âWhat have I told you about breaking into my house?â I ask Sam with a chuckle.Â
ââTs not breaking in if the doors are unlocked,â he says. I shove my mixing bowl into Samâs hands.
âKeep mixing. I have something for you guys,â I say as I go into the other room. I hear the faint sounds of the wooden spoon scraping against the metal bowl. Sam never fought me on things, I feel like he trusts me or whatever he doesnât understand, he knows I have a good reason for it.Â
âAre you making these for tonight?â Abby asks me from the other room. I find the chest I keep at the end of my bed and pull out three crystals.Â
âYea, I had some freetime. I gotta get people to like me somehow, right?â I say as I reenter the kitchen. I take the bowl from Samâs hands and set it down. âAlright, close your eyes and hold out your hands.â The three do as theyâre told.Â
âIt better not be a bug,â Abby says.
âI hope itâs a bug!â says Sam. I place a crystal in each of their hands. Amethyst for Abby, Frozen tear for Sebastian, and Tigerâs eye for Sam. My trips to the mines had been successful and I had made my way down to the eightieth floor. It was hard work but I didnât have much to do besides farm work and fixing up the old community center. The community center was going to take me a while so I figured I might as well slay some monsters and make a profit from the gems I find.Â
âOpen your eyes.â They do and their faces light up when they see the gems.Â
âHow did you know I love this?â they all ask. I shrug.
âThey just seemed like your vibe,â I said. That was a lie. While foraging, cutting down trees, and just being in the valley I stumbled upon some notes. One was a page from Abbyâs diary as I had recognized her handwriting. She mentioned she liked keeping amethyst under her pillow. Another was Samâs shopping list, I also recognized his chicken scratch. He mentioned that Sebatian liked sashimi and frozen tears. I didnât know what that was until I stumbled upon it in the mines. I remember Grandpa collecting around one hundred of them one summer and then giving it to Robin. He mentioned she wanted to make a chandelier. Sam was a little trickier though. I was having tea with Jodi one afternoon and she was telling me stories about my Grandpa and how kind he was to Sam. Even after I would leave when the summer was done, Grandpa would still watch Sam when Jodi needed it. One day Sam came home with a large yellow and brown crystal and was so overjoyed about it. He still has the tiger's eye Grandpa gave him all those years ago.Â
Abby wraps her arms around my neck and squeezes me. âThank you thank you thank you thank you!â she says. The boys also nod and thank me.Â
âWell, thank you guys for caring about me,â I say, âyouâve made my adjustment to the valley a lot easier.â My nightmares arenât as frequent, Iâm smoking less even though I do miss when Sebastian would brush my lips with his fingers every time he gave me one, and I just feel better overall.Â
âAre you going to the dance of the moonlight jellies tonight?â Sebastian asks, âitâs the one festival I actually enjoy.â
âI think I will,â I say.
âFinally! You never got to seem them when we were kids, I remember being sad for you,â Sam says. My kitchen timer goes off. The muffins are ready. I pull them out and carefully dress them with the glaze. Abby goes to grab one but I slap her hand away.
âYouâll get one tonight,â I say and she pouts.Â
âOh! I almost forgot,â Sam says while digging in his pockets. He pulls out a crumpled flyer and hands it to me. âWeâve got a gig next Saturday in the city. Some old songs, some new songs. You should come.â

âI canât wait to go,â I say and place the flyer on my fridge. âIâm glad you got out of your writer's block.âÂ
âWrite what you feel. Thatâs what you said. I also had help from Seb and Abby so I couldnât have done it without all three of you.â

I wanted to wear something other than my usual farm get-up. Like being at the beach in the rain, thereâs something surreal about being at the beach during the night. I took my hair out of my usual braids and pinned my bangs back with a white bow and then threw on a light blue sundress. It was a little chilly out but I felt okay with my arms exposed. Fall is my favorite season and I couldnât wait for the weather to break. As I step out of my house, I see that Sebastian is waiting for me. I can see Iâm not the only one who decided to wear something different. Heâs wearing a different pair of black ripped jeans than his usual and is wearing a dark gray button up with the first three buttons unbuttoned.Â
âWhat a surprise,â I say, âwhat brings you over here?â As I get closer to him, I inhale his scent. His cologne had hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. His lit cigarette added an extra layer of tobacco. He smelled like heaven. He takes his half finished cigarette and puts it between my lips and before I could protest, he swiftly lights himself another one.Â
âNeeded to get away from my family. I figured we could walk together,â he says as we make our way off my property. He seemed tense and I could tell that he had been chain smoking the entire walk here. âYou look nice,â he says.Â
âThank you. So do you,â I say, trying to not let my eyes linger.
âDemetrius wanted to take a family photo down at the shore. When he saw me in this, he seemed pissed off. Before I left I could hear him and my mom quietly arguing. I donât know about what and I assumed it was about me. I just got the hell out of there,â he says while anxiously smoking his cig. âHeâs known me since I was three. He raised me. I donât understand why he hates me so much.â He kicks some rocks as we make our way through the town square. I wrap my arm around his and lean my head on his shoulder.
âYou deserve better.â
âAh, thatâs just shitty father figures for ya,â he says, his mood shifting. I take my head off his shoulder and I see that heâs smiling at me. He knows I get it. We both finished our cigarettes before reaching the beach and I unlink arms with him. Him and I separate. He goes to Robin and I start chatting with the other villagers. When we separated though, it felt hesitant. Like he didnât want to leave my side. Occasionally, Iâd look over my shoulder and catch him looking at me.Â
âFarmer!â Vincent exclaimed as I approached him, Jodi, and Sam.Â
âHey kiddo,â I say and reach into my pocket. Yes, my dress has pockets. I pull out a grape and he gasps.
âWow! How did you know I like grapes?â he asked. Samâs discarded shopping list. I press a finger to my lips.
âSanta told me,â I whisper. He looks up at me with wide eyes. I also give him a poppyseed muffin and pass those out to the other villagers as well. I look across the docks and watch Haley take pictures of Sebastian and his family. If Iâm being honest, I felt a little jealous but I knew not everybody was happy in the family. Could I even create a happy family and break generational trauma? As I start to spiral, Haley approaches me, snapping me out of it.Â
âSeb wants a family photo,â she says. I look at her confused.
âDidnât he already do that?â she rolls her eyes at me.
âLike with you, Sam, and Abigail.â
âOh.â Yoba, youâre so dense, Farmer. I can hear Sebastian say in my head. I follow Haley to where Sebastian is and eventually Abby and Sam join us. Sam and Abby are on the end and Sebastian and I are in the middle. Iâm smiling but genuinely smiling. I havenât felt warmth from others in a while. I look up at Sebastian, seeing his face flushed out with his own version of expressing happiness. Heâs feeling the exact same feeling I am.Â

After my farm chores were done for the day, I decided to try my hand at the mines again. I packed a couple of cave carrots and parsnips that I felt werenât good enough to sell and also picked up a couple of grapes and spice berries as I made my way up the mountain. I had visited Marlon and Gil a couple of days ago to get a real sword so I wouldnât have to use my pickaxe as a weapon. I had almost enough copper ore to smelt into the final bar I needed to upgrade my tools. Thereâs a couple of stumps on the farm that I canât quite get rid of and theyâre starting to bug me. I checked my watch, noon. I had to be back on the farm by nine for my hangout with Sebastian and Sam. For someone whoâs late all the time, Sam expects everyone else to be punctual. I didnât mind. Even after years of being separated heâs still a good friend to me. As I round the corner between Robinâs home and Linusâ tent, I see Abigail with a small dagger and a flute. I step on a stick and she whips her head around, almost like an owl. Once she sees itâs me, she relaxes.
âHey, Farmer!â she waves at me. I approach her, sword still slung over my shoulder. She looks up at me in awe.
âHey, Abigail,â I say. She scoffs and stands up.
âPlease, my parents call me Abigail. Abby is fine,â she says with a smile.
âAlright, Abby,â I correct myself, âwhatcha up to?â
âEscaping my parents,â she says and kicks some pebbles into the lake, âwhat about you?â
ââBout to mine.â She gasps.
âYouâre going in there? Iâve always wanted to,â she says, playing with her dagger in her hands. I wasnât going super deep which is where I assume all the dangers are. Right now all I had to do was be on the lookout for bugs and slimes, I could get my errands done faster if I had someone watching my backâŠ
âDo you wanna come with?â I ask while pointing to the entrance of the mines with my sword. âIâm not going deep-â
âReally? Yes! A hundred percent I would love to!â She squeals a little which was a little annoying. I havenât had many girl friends in the past but it would be nice to get to know the other person Sebastian and Sam hang out with. I feel kinda bad for taking them away from her. We start walking towards the mines and I give her a quick run down.
âIâm gonna need you to watch my back while I mine. From what I know, the monsters weâll probably see arenât super dangerous but keep your guard up. Bugs wonât provoke you, just avoid them. If they touch you it feels like a punch to your cheekbone. Thereâs also little sentient slime balls and they will attack when they see you. If they touch you, your body feels like youâre on fire but when theyâre as good as dead, the pain stops. You think you can be up for that?â I ask. Her little dagger wouldnât be able to cut anything down immediately but if she has stamina, she shouldnât have any issues.
âI can do that,â Abby says. As we take the elevator down to the fifth floor. I talked with Marlon and he said that every five floors I go, the more the elevator fixes itself, which was nice. I didnât want to end up deep below the surface and then having to restart with the tiny ladder on the first floor. As soon as the elevator doors open, weâre greeted by the damp ominous presence of the mines. I get to work on the first rock I see.
âIf you see any rocks with little orange specks sticking out, let me know,â I say to Abby. We made our way through the floor before finding a ladder which took us down. Before I can step a toe off the ladder, a little green slime ball is down there waiting for me. I take my sword and slice it in two and hop off the ladder.Â
âHoly shit, what are those things?â Abby asks as more green slimes approach us. I sigh and take a big swing, slicing a good majority of them. âOw, fuck!â Abby says, I turn over to her and watch her stab a slime over and over until it dies. I take out the rest of them and a large cluster of copper ore nodes are revealed to me. Thank Yoba, this should be more than enough. I dig in my bag for some burn cream and toss it over to Abby.
âThis should help,â I say.
âThanks. Were those the slimes you were talking about?â I nod and start mining away at the nodes.Â
âMarlon says that theyâre everywhere. Not necessarily dangerous, just annoying.â
âYea, this little dagger barely did anything. I need to save up and buy one from the Adventurerâs Guild,â she says. I finished collecting the last piece of ore that I needed.
âYou did good though!â I say as we make our way back up the mines, âwhen I first encountered a slime, I had no idea what I was doing.â Having Abby with me cut our time in the mines in half. We walk back to the farm, chatting as we do.
âSooo⊠Anybody caught your eye yet here in the valley?â She asks with a toothy grin. I blush a little, thinking of Sebastian. âOMG! Whooo tell me!â I couldnât tell her that I thought one of her best friends was attractive.
âUm⊠Alex and I haveâŠuh been enjoying each other's company,â I say quietly. Abby grabs my arm and starts jumping up and down.
âHoly shit! Like what, girl, tell me everything,â she says. I smile a little. Itâs been a while since Iâve had some girltalk.Â
âWell, I mean, I mightâve⊠sucked him off a few days ago,â I say, a little embarrassed.Â
âDamn girl, you donât play around do you?â she laughs. We walked over the tunnel and over to the back of my house where I put the furnace. After finding my first couple of ores and talking with Clint, he gave me some blueprints for a furnace which I was able to make and now I had nineteen copper bars. I place the ore and coal in the furnace, turn it on, and let it do its thing.Â
âAlex and I have some⊠trauma in common. That and in college I had a thing for gridball players soo,â I say. Abby laughs.
âI see. Shane also used to be a gridball player, maybe you should hop on that too,â she says with a wink. I blush deeper. I couldnât fuck around in the valley like I did in the city. Everybody knows everybody and I was already being reckless with Alex so I need to tone it down. âAlex and I used to date,â she says. My face drops and I start apologizing profusely.
âIâm so sorry, I didnât know, it was a one time thing, Iâll cut things off with him immediately-â
âChill, chill. We dated for like one summer when we were like twelve. It doesnât even count,â she says, âbut I appreciate⊠whatever that just was. You seem like a girl's girl,â she says. We walk to the front of my house and sit on my porch. Â
âI wasnât always. In high school I used to sleep with everyone's boyfriend. I guess itâs why I didnât have very many girl friends. I stopped that shit in college but I still found it hard to make friends,â I said. Abby wraps her arm around my shoulders.Â
âWell, youâve got me! I also donât have very many girl friends. I tried to be friendly with Maru, Sebastianâs sister but I donât know. I guess we just didnât click like that,â she says, âso tell me more about you and Alex. Did you play with his giggle berries?â I laugh.
âGiggle berries? Is that what you call balls?â I ask. Abby shrugs.
âMale anatomy is weird, might as well give them weird names right?â We laugh together.
âWhatâs all this giggling about?â We both look up and find Sam and Sebastian standing over us.Â
âWhen did this happen?â Sebastian asks and pulls out a cigarette. I look up at him with puppy dog eyes. He rolls his eyes and grabs another one from the pack. He sits down next to me and places it between my lips and lights it like usual. Sam sits next to Abigail.
âYou guys have been hogging them! Why didnât you tell me the farmerâs so cool?â She pouts. Sam shrugs his shoulders.
âYou donât like to smoke,â he says. Abby gasps.
âDoesnât mean I canât hang out with you guys!â
âYou donât like the smell,â Sebastian chimes in.
âWell you and the farmer are smoking cigarettes so maybe that smell will cover the weed smell,â she says and crosses her arms across her chest.Â
âDo not give those delinquents an excuse to chain smoke!â Sam says while packing the bowl. Sebastian and I look at each other.
âI wouldnât say weâre delinquents for smoking cigs,â I say, âhurry up and pack the bowl.â
this post single-handedly made me wanna write a scene where abby tells farmer about her life and her mom and how she has a HUGE crush on haley and farmer tells her how (idk what pronouns they use yet LOL) has a huge crush on leah (and/or harvey/maru idk yet) and they have a girls night and do face masks n watch trash tv and and and
