She awoke to —she wasn 't sure.

She awoke in what she knew to be a pod, despite her missing memories.

Something had happened, and that something led to her ending up in the strange place. She stepped out of the pod, the circular pod, her head twisting around to look around her as the ocean wrapped around her feet. And then she slipped on the wet rock, coming down hard, her hands going back to catch her, hoping she wouldn 't fall into deep water for which she didn't know the tides.

For some reason, she knew she should know the tides.

Instead of going into deep water, she landed on the rock, the sharpness cutting into her fingers as her orange skirt billowed. Her back ached, as did her bottom from the fall. Yet, her eyes now drifted down to look at her outfit—the top which altogether showed off her torso, the skirt perhaps being more of an extension of the top, which was like a sleeveless jacket that didn 't leave much for the imagination.

And she wore such short shorts.

She breathed her eyes on her toned muscles and her warm-colored skin. There was no place to go, no place to—

"Hello? Are you okay?"

Leah wasn 't sure, to be honest, what she'd discovered when she looked down over the cliff at the beach area near the forests of Stardew Valley. She'd almost not bothered looking, but then saw—whoever she was, she was practically naked, yet her mind was already thinking of what she wanted to draw next as the blue-haired girl was quite attractive.

She pushed that aside, reminding her that she hadn 't moved away from the city to start a new relationship and instead headed down the cliff. And what she saw—she'd heard of the pods arriving from outer space, from the era that they had taken to outer space. Never had she heard them being described as circular. "My name's Leah? What's yours?"

"I don't remember." Her head turned, looking at the pod.

Leah stepped forward, getting her boots wet. Leaning over, she saw info that came and went. "Aina. Eighteen. A refugee from..." The screen in the pod flickered, and the information was gone. "Sorry. I think your pod is dead." Lean turned, looking at the soaked girl from head to toe. She held out her hand and attempted to help the girl up, pulling her up out of the water onto the dry part of the rocks, when Aina stumbled into her arms. But then—

Her red hair was pulled into a braid that hung over her ample bust down to where the end swung close to her belly button. Every piece of clothing was also form-fitting, causing—

Aina felt embarrassed, noting how the woman who found her covered far more than she did, yet in her head, there was another thought that, " This is love at first sight. "

She didn 't hesitate in taking Leah's hand when she offered it, though she stumbled again, right into Leah's strong arms making Aina's cheeks heat up ever so slightly as her nose came to rest on the side of Leah's shoulder, which allowed her to take in Leah's earthy and delicious scent. She looked up, meaning to thank Leah, only to catch sight of the other woman's eyes and—

She couldn 't help but lean in, kissing her savior while taking in Leah's scent. When Aina stopped, she lowered her face to Leah's shoulder, shivering from the chill brought on by being soaked by the ocean as she had been, her suit not working correctly. Lean latched onto her shoulders. "Woah! I'm not quite ready for a relationship. And aren't you turned off by the wrinkles?"
