Chapter 68: Three’s Company
After checking his backpack to make sure he had the Prismatic Shard with him—and bringing along some extra money just in case—Leon left the farm and headed toward the bus stop.
The bus stop in Stardew Valley sat along the dirt road connecting the farm and Pelican Town, so it didn’t take long before Leon reached the fork leading to it.
There, he saw Penny, who had already agreed to meet him, along with Abigail and her old car. What surprised Leon even more was that Emily was also standing beside them.
The three women noticed Leon as well. Abigail called out proudly, “Well? Bet you didn’t expect me to bring Emily along too!”
“What’s going on?” Leon asked as he walked up quickly.
“I talked to my parents about it last night,” Abigail explained with a grin. “They didn’t want me driving to Calico Desert with you alone. But when I said Emily was coming along, and they confirmed it with her, they agreed.”
“So, you’re her chaperone today,” Leon said to Emily, ignoring Abigail.
“Haha, chaperone sounds a bit much. But Pierre did ask me to keep an eye on Abigail so she doesn’t wander off,” Emily said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
“Leon, you’re so annoying! Emily’s a friend who’s coming along for the trip, not some babysitter. And she’s not even that much older than me!” Abigail grumbled.
