Memories Forgotten. A Stardew Valley Fanfiction

Chapter 1: A new life

As we walked down the dirt trail I could see the cabin off in the distance. Robin stopped and pointed out at a field in dire need of care and smiled at me " Well welcome to Swedican Farms" I began to panic a bit at how bad the farm was in need of dire repair but I swallowed what fear remained and rolled up my sleeves and smiled at her " I think I'm up for the challenge." She smirked and laughed as we continued down to the cabin. It was mid-morning by the time we got to grandpa's old cabin and I looked at it and felt that maybe leaving home wasn't the best idea when I saw this shack of a cabin.

Suddenly an old man came out he seemed rather goofy an odd to me as he walked down the stairs and shook my hand "I'm Lewis the mayor of Pelican town and your grandfathers oldest friend" He said with a smile that somehow showed through his bushy mustache. I smiled at him and replied "I remember you sir it's been to long since we last met so how is grandpa's old cabin"

He smiled " Well Its rustic to say the least you'll be really living the pioneer's life." Suddenly Robin chuckled "Rustic is one way to put I'd rather say crusty would be a better fit for it." Quickly Lewis jumped and gave her that how rude look as she laughed then put one hand on my shoulder and said " Don't mind her she's just trying to get you to buy one of her house upgrades" Suddenly her laughs stopped and she let out a loud hmph as she folded her arms and tapped her foot.

I laughed at them both as I put one foot up on the stair and smiled as I adjusted my old baseball cap I then turned around and gave them both a thumbs up " Well guys I think it's home" I said as they smiled and laughed with me. "You must be tired after your long trip get some rest then come into town tomorrow and meet everyone" Lewis said to me as he began to leave "And remember if you need anything in the carpenter's department I'm here for you" Said Robin as she left with Lewis.

I waved goodbye to them and began to walk up the stairs to the porch then I placed my hand on the door knob. I paused for a second it had been quite a while since I was last here and memories from my past began to flood into my mind as if I was just here yesterday. I sighed as I turned the knob and walked in the cabin was still a little dusty and had only the basics a small kitchen and small table with one oak chair a budget Television and a rickety wood bed to call my own I sighed as I placed my pack down on the floor next to the bed and began to walk around the small one room house with a small bathroom off to the side I smiled as I thought back to being a child.

"So many good memories" I said to myself as I finished cleaning up the cabin and walked outside. The sun was beginning to set as I sat down on the stairs and looked over the field overgrown with weeds, grass, and trees not to mention rocks and boulders I knew my work was cut out for me.

As I was looking over the lay of the land I saw a redhead woman looking at me from the southern entrance of the farm that lead to the forest she smiled and waved at me then walked back off into the forest. My heart stopped for a second and all I could do was smile and wave back as I got up and walked back inside the cabin. I lit the old fireplace and changed into my sleep ware as I laid down on the bed I shut my eyes and smiled thinking what tomorrow would bring and what challenges awaited me here.

I began to dream of crops and animals and a working farm like the one grandpa use to have all those years ago but then my mind began to change to other things such as home and mom. It was a big change for me but I remember what she had told me before I left home "Never give up on your dream."
