Cera had quickly made friends with Philip and Ash as the two boys took Cera along on the tour around the Bluebell town. First, Cera was shown to the pet shop that stood right across Jessica's Livestock was. The owner was named Grady and he had a daughter called Georgia. The pet shop was pretty much like Kana's pet shop back in Konohana. They sold pets, lending horse and sell carts. After some little chat with Georgia, they had become quite a friend as well. Next, she was shown to the hut of where the two brothers of the triplets live. Same like in Raul's shop back in Konohana, they also sold some random stuffs. His brothers were called Diego and Enrique. Continuing her tour was to the carpenter's house. Unlike Konohana that had a blacksmith, Bluebell had a carpenter, and what was more amazing was that the carpenter was a pretty young woman. She had short, and curly brown hair with pale blue bandana decorating it. She wore an eyeglasses and was called Eileen. After talking with Eileen about some stuffs of upgrading her house and some others, the next stop was the Town Hall where she met with Bluebell's mayor, Rutger and his wife, Rose. They both had been pretty friendly to her, despite her coming from Konohana, and she was glad about it.

The last place left for her to visit was the cafe they all had been talking about. Howard's cafe, where they sold foods and drinks, much like Yun's Tea House. But, this is more to the Western side as Bluebell was after all a Western-style town. There she met a tall, huge, and masculine man who was actually pretty feminine too, she thought. The one and only owner of the Cafe, Howard. He had a very beautiful daughter, though, called Laney. She had, what Cera thought was pretty long, blonde hair that was tied to a high bun. Her skin was pale and looked very soft, despite living in a small town, not in a city. Cera learned that Howard was actually very fond of gossip that he had asked her to come again to have a talk with him if he wanted to know of something spicy. She just chuckled at him but nodded her head to him anyway.

Once they were out of the cafe, Cera noticed a small stand standing beside the cafe, just right between it and the Town Hall. The stand was pretty small but looked pretty nice on the color of blue. The sign said that it was Cam's Flowers. She looked at it for a while before drifting her eyes from the sign, to the person behind the stand. It was a boy. A pretty tall boy with dark blonde hair, covered with a purple checkered hat, who wore a light lavender coloured shirt which long sleeves were rolled up slightly under a darker lavender coloured vest with an even darker purple coloured pants, was standing behind the stand with his back facing them. She could not really see his face or what was he doing, but she guessed he was arranging flowers or something, from the way the table was way too messy with flowers all over it.

"Ah, right, we missed it when we were on our way to the Cafe from the Town Hall, but this is Cam's Flower's stand, just like how the sign said it all." Ash said as he realised Cera was looking at the stand. "And the one who owned it was none other than the guy back there who's called Cam himself." He said pointing to the purple clothed boy. "Hey, Cam!" He called up to the said boy. "Come here, we bring someone to meet you." Cera just waited and watched quietly as the Cam guy was sighing as he heard Ash's voice, she guessed. He turned to look at them and she found that their eyes met with each other's. They were staring at each other for a while before Cera broke it by looking away. Her cheeks flushed slightly. She found out that the guy in front of him had the most beautiful emerald eyes she had ever seen.

"So, who is she?" The guy called Cam coldly asked as he gazed at her from top to bottom, making her feel uncomfortable for some reason. "She's the new farmer from Konohana. I supposed you've heard of the news as well, right?" Ash asked back replying him with a smile. "My name is Serafina, but just Cera is fine too." She said introducing herself, trying to offered her hand as how she usually introduced herself to new people. "It's nice to meet you." She added with a smile. Cam looked at her once again before taking her hand in his. "Same here." He simply said as he found his way to her eyes, which she quickly averted away almost immediately. "Have we ever met before?" He suddenly asked still not releasing her hand from his and he could feel she somehow flinched slightly and became tense. "Haha.. Cam. I don't know that you're that type of guy?" Ash replied in her state as he laughed at Cam's question.

Cam looked at him raising his eyebrow to his best friend confusedly. Cera shared the same expression as him as well looking at Ash. "What do you mean?" Cam asked confusedly. "Well, I mean... I did not know that you're the type that would hit on girl from the first time you meet her." Ash said smirking to Cam who raised both of his eyebrows now in shocked. "No, I did not mean it like that!" He immediately said as he turned to look at Cera to see her reactions. His face flushed slightly as he saw her blushing from it as well. "Oh, really? Then what do you mean by it then?" Ash asked again his smirk was still there. Cam sighed before he answered, "Well, it just like her face seems familiar to me somewhere." He simply said to Ash earning an oh, but his smirk was still there, though, not as big as before.

"I thought the same thing too when I first saw her." Ash admitted as he turned to look at Cera too. "Though, I still did not asked her like I was hitting on her like you did." He added teasingly to Cam once again, his smirk returned. Cera could only stay silent as she heard the two boys talking to each other and could get only tenser than before as Ash admitted as well. "Don't you think she looks like Philip?" Then she heard Ash asked to them, including herself, and that was when her face went paler. "Me? Really?" Philip asked in disbelief. "Yeah! Try to look at her, she looks a lot like you." Ash said to him as he turned to look at Cera, not noticing she had went quiet. Cam who was still holding her hand for some reason, had noticed that she was tenser than before. He looked at her and saw how her face went paler as well. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" Cera heard Cam asked and his voice sounded worried to her. So she immediately turned to look at him and gave him her smile. "Hmm? What?" She asked innocently as she looked down at her hand before flushing slightly. Cam who realised it immediately let go of her hand. "S-sorry..." He mumbled quietly as his cheeks flushed as well. "I-it's ok..." Cera mumbled softly as the reply.

There was an awkward silent between them but then later broken by Cam himself. "Well, then, I'll return to my work here if you're done already." He said it mostly to Ash, but he stole a glance at Cera before he returned to his work. Ash sighed at his best friend. "Alright then, we'll take our leave first now. Bye, Cam." He said as he led Cera and Philip to the statue in the middle of the town. "Cam sure has not changed after all." Philip said as soon as they reached the statue with his small smirk plastered on his face. "Yeah, still the same cold flower guy." Ash agreed laughing at it. Cera just looked at the two tilting her head slightly. "So, you don't have to mind about him, Serafina. He has always been like that. He is just not good with newcomers." Ash told her as he saw her getting confused. "Oh, yeah, sure. I don't really mind about it." Cera said truthfully with a smile. "Good. I'm glad that he at least had opened up to us, though." Ash said turning to look at Philip who nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he used to be much worse when he first came here." He added. "How did he open up to us again?" Ash asked now as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, frowning slightly as he tried to remember the first time Cam to the town. Philip turned to look at Ash as he pondered it himself too. "Hmm... Right... I can't really remember it either..." He mumbled under his breath. Cera looked at the two with some meaningful look. "Maybe he just needed time and suddenly opened up to you guys?" She asked unsure about it herself. The two boys then turned to look at her. They looked at each other first before the two nodded their head somewhat seeming to agree with what she said. "I guess that might be true." Philip agreed as he smiled at her and Ash nodded in agreement.

The three of them spent some times talking with each other until afternoon almost over and soon going to be replaced by evening. Cera bid her farewell as she had to head back to Konohana before the sun had finally set down. Ash had told her that he would be coming along with her as he also needed to take the livestocks his mother had given to her. So the two headed to Jessica's Livestock after sayng good bye to Philip. "Wait for a moment. I'll take the cow and the chicken then we can head to Konohana." Ash said to Cera as he headed to his barn and she just nodded at him. After some minutes, Ash went to the waiting Cera with a cow and a chicken. Then the two headed to Blanc who was waiting at the gate. Cera offered him a ride but he refused, saying that he would rather walk as he needed to lead the cow to her farm. So they ended up walking side by side back to her farm with Blanc being lead by Cera.

The two spent their time on their way with some chit chat about being a farmer, about the two towns, and about the townsfolks. "You remember Georgia, right? She just has that southern dialect whenever she speaks, even though she had been staying in Bluebell for some years now." Ash spoke as Cera listened to it and giggled softly. "Well, I guess it is hard to kill one's accent." She said between her giggles. Ash's cheeks flushed slightly as he saw her giggling. "Y-yeah I guess so..." He sheepishly replied with his smile on his face as he rubbed behind his head slightly. Cera looked at him smiling confusedly as she saw his cheeks flushed, but paid no mind to it. "I like staying here. The people are all nice and friendly, both in Konohana and Bluebell." She admitted looking back at the path in front of her smiling softly. Ash looked at her and his smile also turned into a soft one as well. "Yeah... I don't really know much about Konohana, but I have ever met some of the town folks there and I do think that they are nice as well." Cera nodded in agreement. "I just hope that the two towns's relationship will get better." Soon, the two arrived at Cera's farm. After explaining to Cera about how to raise the animals, Ash took his leave back to Bluebell, while Cera was taking care of his new cow called Cowy, and her hen called Chubby. After that, she soon ended her day for today. However, unlike the night before, tonight, she had a good dream in her sleep.
