Spring 10, Year 2

The closer it grew to time, the more Beep ached and wished for the comforting caresses and holds of his mates. They made this yearly event tolerable.

After pacing for most of the day, Beep spotted Linus foraging near the bus stop. A knowing look, a whispered secret, and Beep ambled over to the Secret Woods, bottle of Maple Syrup perched on his back. When nothing happened, he decided to take a dip in the small pond on the lower levels of the woods. The instant relief had him recall gentle teasing of how Beep often forgot to take care of himself without one of the two of them to keep him company. With the weight off his sore joints, Beep floated and relaxed, until eventually swimming around left him tired.

When he got out, a large bear was emerging from the thicker parts of the woods. In exchange for the Maple Syrup Beep had brought, they taught Beep how to forage better quality berries when they're in season. From the looks of the bushes, the Salmonberries will be in season in less than a week! Very useful and good timing!

Any day you learn something new is a good day!

Letting himself drip dry, Beep trotted back to the farm, tail held high.

Things different from canon; (AU???)
Gramps never had an heir, or they never show/ed up.
Stardew Valley Expanded; new maps, new NPCs, new events, a LOT of new stuff.
The new “Farmer” is just a Weird Ass Deer. NPCs will respond/react accordingly.

This is my first time playing Stardew Valley Expanded. Please no spoilers if you play SVE.
