Memories Forgotten. A Stardew Valley Fanfiction

Chapter 22: Spirits Eve

Despite the ups and downs of fall things had finally gotten back to that loving peaceful lazy days of the valley. Everyone was caught up in the routine of their days and not much had changed save that everyone had now coupled up and a new generation of Pelican town was in the making.

Even Jojamart had calmed down not trying  to run Marcus and Leah off the farm or pressuring Lewis to sell the community center. During the last week of fall Marcus was busy getting the last minute things done from harvesting what was left of the fall crop to stocking firewood for winter indeed he was a busy man.

Meanwhile Leah was also caught up in the moment catching what fall scenery she could paint to helping Marcus with repairs and harvesting this was what fall was for a farm family. "If winter could just hold off a bit more I'd feel better about things." Marcus was saying to Leah while they were working on the last corn harvest. Leah only giggled before standing up wiping the sweat from her brow. "True but just think of all the time we'll get to spend with each other during winter." She replied with a smirk before picking up a bushel of corn.

Agreeing with her Marcus picked up the last bushel and loaded it up on the wagon Jeb had left for them to pack. Of course Jeb always tried to make it easier for him and doing this would make it so he only had to hook up his ox and just haul it away after paying Marcus of course.

Meanwhile in town Shane was enjoying a nice walk with Lucy since she had moved her she had revealed to everyone that she was not just a friend to Elliot but was indeed his cousin. For once in the longest time people saw Shane with a smile as Lucy held onto his arm. "So your going to work on your aunt's farm and quit Joja ?" she asked while looking up at him. "That's right I mean if Marcus can do farming on his own I'm sure I can take on raising chickens."

They both laughed before he looked over at the saloon. Stepping in front of him she shook her head. "Shane you promised ! Your not going to go back on binge drinking. Remember what I said ! You can only enjoy one or two beers and only when I am there or your friends." Letting out a sigh he smiled "Bruh at least I'm giving up my vice for someone better." Lucy giggled before they walked off towards Marine's ranch.

It would seem everything was going great Sam was thinking about what he was going to really do with his life and thought about what Penny was doing. "Huh I could become a music teacher and start teaching the next generation of rockers !" he said to himself was stretched out on his bed looking over at instruments.

As for Harvey he held been doing quiet well with Maru since the fair in fact he was learning about many of the inventions she was thinking of to help improve the clinic. "So if I add this machine with that it'll make it easier for you to see and hear what is going on with someone and even offer a diagnostic on what it think it might be." Maru said to him. "I like the idea but can it honestly work ?" He asked while sitting in his chair. "Well I'll run some tests then maybe we can start a study with some of the villagers to see if it'll really help you." They both smiled at each other.

Over at Pierre's, Sebastien was  getting a lesson on how to a run store. It seemed Pierre had grown attached to Seb and was grooming him as it would see. "So after words you just punch in these number and the total amount will come up. " He said to Seb but Seb raised his hand as to say hold on. "You know I could write a program and bring in an updated cash register that has labels on the keys for the items you sell through organized steps such as this." Leaning over Seb started writing out the idea which showed such things as a seed listing, furniture, and food goods. "I like how you think son." Pierre said as he patted Seb's shoulder. For the first time in his life it felt good that someone took what he did seriously while Abby just smiled watching them while she stocked the the shelves.

During which Clint and Emily has gone off to enjoy a camping a trip since the fair and had recently come back. Both of them having a big smile on their faces it seemed the camping trip had been quiet fun. While Alex and Haley were talking about future things to come.

Elliot and Mary could be seen walking in town Mary had finally finished moving in with him and they were heading towards Pierre's to do some grocery shopping. Indeed as it was the town had really become closer as a community despite joja's attempts to tare it apart.

But now the end had come for fall and it was spirits eve a time for spooky fun and thrills. Marcus and Leah were walking towards the town square taking in the spooky things and live monsters that had been caught and showing on display to remind people to take it safe when down in the mines.

As they got there the gang was all there. Sam waved to them as everyone started to talk and laugh about how the fall had gone. "Hey guys ! I have like an awesome idea ! We should have a boys vs girls in the maze first group to make it to the end wins. What do you think." said Alex with a big grin on his face.

The guys smiled agreeing with him as the girls smirked being lead by Haley. "We accept after all we know guys have no sense of direction." All of them started laughing before walking to the maze. "Alright ready, set, go !" And off they went.

Marcus and Shane had teamed up together and amazingly this maze was quiet huge. "Bruh..I could use a beer right about now. You know to help with my nerves." Marcus only smirked. "I hear ya. This place is kinda spooky." Suddenly a cold chill moved behind them as if they were being watched. Quickly they froze before hearing a whisper then a pair of hands landed on both of their shoulders. "AGHHHHH!" They both yelled before turning around seeing it was Sam and Alex. "Oh man dude we totally got you !" Sam said while Alex was laughing. "Haha so I take it you guys are having as much luck as we are?" Marcus asked. They nodded in agreement and continued on while Leah and Mary were walking slowly feeling nervous and twitching at any sound.

"So..Think it was a good idea to have a boys vs girls in this place." Mary asked as Leah forced a fake a laugh. "Yes ! We have to prove the point!" She then turned around looking down at the ground pressing her index fingers together thinking to herself. "If only Marcus was here I wouldn't be so nervous." Suddenly a shadow approached them and a scream was heard. but it wasn't Mary and Leah for the only shadow in front of them was a poorly made ghost.

Hearing the scream Marcus and the others bolted only to see Harvey curled in a corner while Clint was as pale as a ghost. "Hey guys ! What..Woah what happened here." Harvey slowly stood up and looked at them. "S-something moved past us and placed an icy cold hand on Clint." Sam looked over at Clint and shook him only to have him scream the same scream that was well very girlish. Holding in their laughs Clint finally pulled himself together as Seb came out of the shadows. "Man I knew this was a good idea." Yup, Seb was the one who had pulled the horrible prank on Harvey and Clint. So now most of the boys were back together save Elliot and Shane no one really knew where they had gone off to.

It had been a few hours now and everyone had found each other save Shane. They all slowly made their way towards the middle finally only to find Shane sitting their with his arm's folded. "Well what took you ?" He said as everyone looked at each other before laughing.

For the rest of the night there was laughs and memories forming as everyone enjoyed the last day of fall. Winter was coming now and new adventures awaited.
