-*-Sebastian Events-*-

This happened for me in the summer, but it was the very first time I walked
into Sebastian’s room. He was standing by his bed and becomes very concerned by
your sudden appearance. After talking for a bit, he notices you staring at the
picture on top of his dresser, apparently it is a very old picture and your
character immediately asks, (You pick) "Is that Lumina?" or "That's Romana when
she was Lumina's age isn't?" If you select the bottom one, he compliments you
on your observations and then asks you not to tell Romana about the picture, he
thinks she will think he is silly for keeping it. Agree to it and he thanks
you.

The nice thing about that cutscene is that I gave Sebastian one gift and he
became my friend instantly, so apparently you get a lot of friendship points if
you answer correctly.

Visit Romana's mansion's front yard during the second year or so and you'll see
Celia asking Sebastian if she can examine the flowers. Sebastian welcomes her
to them, and she starts bubbling over them. Lumina exits the mansion and sees
the two of them. Anime smoke fumes above her head as she stomps toward the two.
As she gets within talking range, Celia informs the two that she must be going.
After she leaves, Sebastian asks Lumina what's wrong. Dot dot dot nothing is
her answer as she goes back into the villa. 




-*-Van Events-*-

Walk into the Inner Inn whenever Van is inside. It's not 100% accuracy it will
happen each and every time you walk in.

Part I
[I activated it on Spring 08 at 11:13AM]

Van will be bragging to Tim how hard work pays off. Tim will be annoyed,
agreeing. You will walk in and Tim and Van will spot you. Van will explain how
he was telling Tim about the diet Romana suggested to him a month ago. He was a
bit skeptical at first, because "after all, you're supposed to put on a
blindfold and walk around flapping your arms about twice a day..." But, Van
continues to say that modern science has proved this diet most effective. He
did this for ten days and got onto his "NEW" bathroom scale. Note the emphasis
on the new. Tim gets further annoyed as Van says he weighed only 80 pounds!

1. Didn't it just go past 0 and start again?
2. Congratulations!!

Choosing option 1 will make Van sad, and supposedly harder to haggle with. It
also cuts off any further Matkins Diet scenes. So, choose option 2 and make him
happy. Van will thank you and say he's going to continue with the diet. He'll
then advise Tim to try the diet out as well... More annoyance from Tim with a
simple 'Sure...whatever you say..." Van will then go off to tell Ramona.




Part II
[Activated Fall 08 at 10:16AM]

Walk into the Inner Inn when Van is inside. Van will be bragging (again) to Tim
how hard work pays off. And again, Tim is annoyed. You will walk in and Van
will spot you. He'll explain that he was telling Tim about the results of the
diet Romana suggested to him last month. He was skeptical about the diet,
given his failure last time (even though I congratulated him!) This time, the
instructions of the diet is to "wear a blindfold and spin around like a top
with your arms sticking out twice a day. And once more, modern science has
determined that this diet is most effective. He did this for ten days and then
stepped onto his "new scale for pets", and it turns out he only weighed 199
pounds! Of course, your character believes (which is probably true) that the
scale only goes up to 199.

1. I think the scale only goes up to 199...
2. Congratulations!!!

So tell Van option 2 to make him happy if you'd like. Telling him option 1 cuts
off all further Matkins Diet scenes. If you congratulate him, Van will say that
he's going to continue with his diet. He'll then turn to Tim and suggest that
he try it too. Tim, of course, is very annoyed, giving another "Sure...
Whatever you say..." Van says he'll stand by the diet because it really works.
He'll then go off to tell Romana the results of his diet, bidding Tim and you
farewell.





--Rival Cutscenes--


This section is dedicated to the cutscenes between Celia/Marlin, Nami/Gustafa,
and Lumina/Rock. 

Please contribute!


-*-Marlin & Celia Events-*-

Marlin in Denial
 
You walk up to Marlin on the farm and ask him what's up. He was watching Celia
garden the entire time and is startled by you. He insists that he wasn't
watching Celia. Close up on Celia's face. He doesn't know if it's an attraction
or it's because they are so close. He dismisses it and you're left confused.
 
NOTE: This happened when I had been courting Marlin, got him up to three hearts
and then started courting Gustafa (I had been doing both of them at the same
time). I chose Gustafa over Marlin... and when I lost interest in him, he
started showing interest towards Celia.


Relationship Status

This takes place on your farm in the Fall at earliest in the afternoon. Celia
thinks she has done something wrong that Marlin has been avoiding her and he
tells her that's not true, he would never do anything like that making Celia
smile and run home to Vesta. Marlin then spots you standing in your field and
looks away sheepishly. He then tells you his thoughts on he and Celia's 
relationship; whether it's brother and sister or man and woman.




-*-Gustafa & Nami Events-*-

Tomato For Your Thoughts?

One day when you're going over the bridge to the side by Vesta's a cut scene
with Nami and Gustafa takes place. Gustafa asks Nami what's wrong, she says
nothing's wrong. He says she looks a little red in the face, she tells him he's
being pushy and to stop. They're silent for awhile. Some quiet music starts
playing, he pulls a tomato out hands it to her and tells her to take care of
herself."

I'm not sure if it was a tomato or a an apple, I haven't seen it yet, but he
dislikes tomatoes... I've received many emails stating it's an apple, so I
guess it's an apple. Anyways, it's up to you.

Music for the Lovelorn
(Note: Can be activated around Fall, at night. Walk out of the Inner Inn.)
 
Gustafa is playing the guitar in the moonlight near the river (the spot where
people sit, near the benches) and it just strumming away. You realize that Nami
is being all creepy like and crouching behind a tree, whilst watching her
crush. You ask what's going on and she starts spewing forth these tales of
loving the music, closing her eyes and just listening to him.
 
NOTE: She starts hanging out more with Gustafa when you start hanging out more
with Gustafa. I've noticed he wakes up between 10:30 to 11 most days. If you
get him then, you can catch Nami in there as well. She will say "Well isn't
this a coincidence?" and then leave cos you're on her "turf".

(NOTE: IT HAS TO BE RAINING!)

(This happened to me in late fall) After leaving the Inn, your character
notices Gustafa and Nami running for cover under the inn's awning. Nami
complains about how she's soaked through and comments about how she hates rain 
because of the way it makes her feel. Gustafa says that rain is a blessing and
walks out into the rain and holds up his hands and says that, "Without rain,
neither you and I...or anyone would not be here." He goes on saying about how
the world needs rain to exist and it's all very profound for a hippy =p At the
end of his speech, Nami stares at him for a moment and then walks out and joins
him in the rain.




-*-Rock & Lumina Events-*-

Contributed by MalloryK
[Copied & Pasted from an email]

Lumina is all alone and Rock goes up to her and asks her if she is all right in
the name of love. Lumina ignores him at first but then she tells him that
Sebastian and Auntie Romana won't tell her about her parents. Rock tells
her maybe it's better not to know. Then he turns around and rambles to himself
as Lumina walks away.

Here is another version.

You walk out to the bridge during winter sometime around late morning, when you
see Lumina standing over on the small hill by Vesta's farm. Rock walks up and
asks if Lumina is okay. She starts to get upset and talks about how she wishes
to meet her parents and find out more about them. Then she says when she says
every time she asks Sebastian or Romana, they never tell her anything **must be
something bad...**. She begins to cry more saying that she wants to know very
badly. Rock then says that she should stop thinking about the past and start
thinking about the future, and if they don't tell her about her parents, it
must be something not worth knowing. She stops crying, Rock then turns his back
to her saying how the advice he gave was such good advice, and that he's a real
catch **he's so narcissistic sometimes**

Contributed by Christal
[Copied & Pasted from an email]

I was walking to Rock's house from my farm at about 1:00 in summer day 10,
and Rock and Lumina are standing to the right of the Inn greeting each other.
Rock tells her she has good timing, and that there’s something he wants to ask
her. She asks him what it is. He says its about Sebastian, and rock is very
distressed about the topic...."He...he wears a toupee." Lumina is puzzled.
Rock thinks Sebastian "must be suffering" about not being able to tell anyone
his secret. Rock has decided to shave his head in solidarity with him. Lumina
starts to cry. "A toupee! I can't believe it!...Not bald! Not you Rock!" she
runs away... and rock calls after her. Lumina spots my character and asks
her... "Sebastian doesn't wear a toupee right?" My character shakes her head
no, and Lumina says no and runs home.




Contributed by Julie-San
[Copied & Pasted from an email] edited

Rock says that his sources indicate that Sebastian wears a toupee, Lumina is
shocked! Rock states that because he feels sorry for Sebastian he's going to
shave his head too, Lumina is brought to tears by this. She exclaims that Rock
shouldn't shave his head and then runs up to you and asks you "Sebastian
doesn't wear a toupee, does he?" You shake your head no and she runs up to the
mansion crying. Your character gives rock a rather nasty look and he shrugs.



-*-You/Rival Cutscenes-*-

This section is dedicated to the cutscenes between You/Celia, You/Nami, and
You/Lumina.

Please contribute!


-*-Celia Events-*-

This Event can be activated in Spring by walking out of Vesta's house in the
late morning or early afternoon. Most likely after activating Marlin's first
Heart Event.

Celia will be standing by the scarecrow and the fields at Vesta's Farm. You'll
walk over to her and she'll turn around and notice you. She'll explain how the
hard thing about farm work is raising crops, but watching them grow and develop
can be fun. She'll then ask you if you like working in the fields.

1. I don't like it
2. I don't mind it

Option 1 makes her dislike you, option 2 will make her like you more as a
friend. So choose option 1 unless you...hate Celia or something. Assuming you
chose option 1, Celia will say that when she takes care of the crops in the
fields, she feels like they give her some of their energy. She'll think that
you think her idea is strange. You'll automatically shake your head.








--Child Cutscenes--

This section is dedicated to any event concerning your child, such and the
bath scene.



The Box Scene

Note: 

The best course of choices seem to be either:

1. What's this box?
2. Something else might be inside...
1. Well, I don't know...

or

1. What's this box?
2. Something else might be inside...
2. Your future

They both give your son a black music note. The first one is basically playing
along with your son wanting to go treasure hunting, while the second set of
options gives your son something to think about!

ALSO NOTE: Choosing either set of options will greatly increase your son's
skill in scholar. I'm sure that there are other skill increases with choosing
other options though. The amount of scholar increase for his skill is around
1/5, so it's a pretty good boost.



Walk into your son's room. He will be reclined on the floor.

1. What's this box?
2. Oh, nothing

Choosing option 2 will end the cutscene with your son immediately going to the
bathroom, telling you not to touch anything in his room. Option 1 will give you
an extended scene.

It seems your son has found this particular box on the beach, and he has
convinced himself that there is a treasure map inside the box. He wants to be a
treasure hunter but he won't open the box until he's an adult.

1. I bet it's just empty
2. Let's open it now!
3. Something else might be inside...

Choosing option 1 will make your son sit on the floor. He says that he KNOWS
that there is a treasure map inside.

1. It's dirty. Let's toss it
2. I guess you're right

Choosing option 1 will anger your son and he will stand up, saying he doesn't
want to throw the box away. He'll start to cry (or at least look like it) and
demand you not to open it or toss it while he's in the bathroom. He'll then
walk off. The scene ends.

Choosing option 2 will have your son ask you if you intend to get rid of it
while he isn't looking. He'll then announce he has to go potty and will leave
the room. The scene ends.



Back to the three choices, in case you didn't choose the previous option.

1. I bet it's just empty
2. Let's open it now!
3. Something else might be inside...

Choosing option will anger your son and he will ask you if you're even
listening. He repeats that he doesn't want to open it. He'll ask you not to
open it as well while he goes to the bathroom. He'll say he has to go potty
and will then leave the room. The scene ends.


Back to the three choices, in case you didn't choose the previous option.

1. I bet it's just empty
2. Let's open it now!
3. Something else might be inside...


Choosing option 3 will give you another scene.

Your son will squat beside the box and say that there must be a treasure chest
inside. He'll then ask you what you think is inside.

1. Well, I don't know...
2. Your future
3. Money

Choosing option 1 will have your son confirm that it's a treasure map. A black
music note will appear of his head as he realizes that there's a world map in
the bathroom. He thinks if he studies it, it will be useful to him later on.

Choosing option 2 will make your son laugh, and he will say that he won't open
the box now. He doesn't want to know how his future turns out. He will have a
black music note over his head as he wonders what he will be when he grows up.
He'll then say he has to figure out what he wants to do. The scene will
conclude with your son saying: "Hmm... I think I want... to go potty!"

Choosing option 3 will make your son a tad depressed, and an annoyed black dot
thing will appear over your son's head. He says he was hoping for something
better. He'll be happy again, thinking that no one knows for sure if it's
money. He'll ponder this and will once again be sad, thinking that maybe it is.
He'll then walk off with a sad face.

Remember the box scene in AWL? This is a variation of it concerns a stick...
Your kid picks up a stick from somewhere and thinks its a magic wand.

You can say 1 Its dirty, let me get rid of it or 2 cool .

And you discuss what magic he’s going to do with it and he says gingerbread
magic basically he’s going to make a ginger bread house and your all going to
pig out .

You can then say 1 Where we gonna live then or 2 that's nice if you say 2 he
then says he’s gonna practice with it and then you can practice together then
he says he has to go potty and leaves.

ON YOUR FARM

He comes one afternoon after you've spent time with your kid and walked out of
the house. He's looking through the window, spying on kids. He murmurs to
himself about that's how children act. He is then startled at your presence
and swears he is not interested in children. Then he runs off.

There is a cut scene with your child if you are married to Marlin. Use the
alarm clock to wake up at 7 A.M. and your son will come in and tell you that he
has watered the crops. But when he first comes in he says "Morning mom" or
something to that effect. If you go look at your crops you will find that they
have in fact been watered no matter how many you have. You get this scene every
morning even if you have no crops.

**Spoilers**

Beginning Of Year 4:

Carter and Griffin are talking in the bar about how Carter needs an assistant.
Then you walk in, and he asks if you will let your son work for him. You say
no, and Griffin is appalled at Carter and says he was way too young. Carter
says "He had a few good talks with me when he came up to the site". Then
Takakura starts in, he says your son gets taller and is an adolescent, between
boy and man. Then your child has a seen where the dad tries to get him to do
something, and the kid blows him off harshly. Takakura talks again about how
healthy your son is, how large the house is, how fine a farmer you are
becoming, and how he is thinking of retiring soon...

This is the scene for Gustafa and Marlin's son.



**Spoilers**

Year 4, Spring, Day 1, 6:56 AM, Your Living Room

Starts our like this... 

Your Son: I'M SICK OF IT!

This tells you how the scene progresses as your son really tears into Gustafa.
Then he tries to leave and you step in front of the door. "Get out of my way,
mom!" You have 2 choices:

-Comfort Gently
-Punish

I chose to comfort, and he calmed down, but confirmed that he meant what he
said, but was sorry for being so rude.

--FAQ--

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions are either shortened in length, corrected for grammatical/spelling
errors, or left alone if they are short enough.

Q = Question

A = Answer

Hey, don't look at me like that. Some people seriously don't know what Q&A
stands for!



-*-FARMING QUESTIONS-*-



Q: Where can I buy the fertilizer?

A: You can buy it on Vesta's Farm for 40 gold. It is used to fertilize the
grass so it will grow.




-*-MARRIAGE QUESTIONS-*-



Q: When do you get married?

A: You get married during the switch between chapter 1 and 2. You don't
get to see the wedding or the birth of your child.


Q: What is a guy's rival, and how is it important?

A: A guy's rival:
 
Marlin/Celia, Gustafa/Nami, Rock/Lumina
 
The rivals are meant to make it harder for the guys they go with to gain hearts
for your character, especially if the guy you're going after REALLY is madly in
love with a rival.




Q: I really want to marry Marlin. I even got him up to four hearts and
all the cutscenes have happened with him and my character. But every time I
give him the blue feather he just says "What is this.....?" I even tried doing
when he is not on Vesta's farm! What is going on?

A: Check to see if any of the other bachelors have 4 hearts in their
diary. If you they do, and you haven't seen all of their events, try to get an
event with that person and give them the "Bad Answer". It could just be that
Rock likes you more... His affection rating for you is automatically higher.




Q: I didn't see it in the guide...but Marlin went from a Red Heart to a
Green, right after I gave him a gift. Is that bad?

A: It depends. It's good if you're trying to get him to dislike you, it's
very bad if you're trying to get him to marry you. Green heart is the lowest
hear you can have.




Q: I proposed to Rock (he has 4 hearts) and when I show him the feather
all he says is "This makes me want to fly like a bird" What am I doing wrong?

A: Rock hasn't received enough gifts yet. He's materialistic, so give him
plenty of flowers and such. Also, it could be because you haven't seen the
final cutscene at Inner Inn.




Q: I was trying to get someone to marry me and well he has three hearts
in his diary. But Rock has four hearts and I don’t want to marry him! I also
want the guy to propose to me but it will be Rock that will come so I am trying
to make Rock not like me but he wont take anything that he does not like.
So how do I get him to not like me?

A: Well, if you haven't seen most or all of Rock's cutscenes, you're lucky
because if you give the "Bad Answer", his affection for you will go down. Refer
to the "Bachelor Cutscenes" section of the guide for the "Correct Answer" and
just respond to the question(s) with the opposite answer. Don't EVER give Rock
flowers, they are one of his favorite items. Try not to talk to him. But, if
you're not waiting for the man to come and propose to you, make sure the man
accepted the Blue Feather, then continue normal behavior with Rock.






-*-CHILDREN QUESTIONS-*-


Q: What are your son's strengths and interests?

A: It depends on who the child's father is.






-*-DOG QUESTIONS-*-



Q: What do the A, Y, X, and control stick buttons mean when you train
your dog?

A: In order to train your dog, you must hold down the button until your
dog does a trick and you get a heart. Otherwise, it doesn't count.

A = Handshake
X = Sit up
Y = Jump
Control Stick = (Keep spinning until the trick is done) Dog spins around



Q: Do I have to feed my dog everyday?

A: No, it isn't necessary, but it helps raise its affection towards you.





-*-VAN QUESTIONS-*-




Q: How do you haggle with Van?

A: Reject the first price he gives you. You have around a 10-25% chance of
successfully haggling Van.




Q: How do you get Van to sell you clothes?

A: Look in the mirror everyday. If you have your first outfit already, make
sure you change your clothes everyday and continue to look in the mirror.
Prices increase by 500 gold.




-*-MISC. QUESTIONS-*-



Q: Why doesn't Ruby's Spice duplicate anymore!?

A: Natsume fixed that glitch...




Q: I am very lazy and married Rock. As soon as he accepted the feather
I slept every day until the end of chapter 1, only getting up to check my
animals. Eventually I ran out of fodder. Question 1: Can your horse die?
Question 2: My cow is almost dead. I have no fodder to give it.
I have tried to give it animal medicine. That did not work.

A: That's what you get for being lazy! But I did that on the male version
a few times so... Yeah. As for your horse dying, it never died in the male
version, and a lot of people don't even take care of their horse in the girl
version. I honestly don't think the horse is capable of dying. As for your sick
Cows, sometimes, if it is EXTREMELY sick, it will need more than one Animal
Medicine.




Q: What does AP, ST, and SP mean!?

A: AP = Appetite, ST = Stamina and SP = Spirit. This  was confirmed by Natsume.
