Kay, I win worst shop owner ever. BUT. I'm thinking of opening again. I've taken away the fourth stage, so currently, almost everyone is already at the final stage! I found it was too much work for the fourth stage and it was part of the reason I sort of just, gave up. I lovelovelove all you who are still semi shop creepers and haven't given up on me yet. :] But yus. Maybe opening again. I just have to see where I'm at with everything.

User ImageOne early morning as the sun peaked out from behind the mountains, there was a young girl in search of something to eat. Her stomach growled with an unsatisfied sense of hunger while she stumbled down her staircase to the kitchen. No one was awake yet, and she wouldn't dare trust her abilities to cook.

She searched the cupboards but there was nothing she could easily take a bite out of, except for a small jar of olives, in which she hated. As she groaned in dismay at the lack of food in her kitchen, and the growing pain in her stomach, she saw outside a most beautiful sight. It was a tree. Not any tree, but on the branches bore plump cherries. She could have swore they were screaming out her name. She made her way to the oak door that lead outside, and quickly paced herself to the ever growing Cherry tree.

Once there, she reached her hand out and picked one of the Cherries hanging the closest to her face. Holding it by its stem, she dangled it over her mouth just in time to feel it move within her fingers. Hesitantly she dropped it, tripping backwards. As though it was as scared as she, the little cherry she had just dropped frantically moved around, hopping behind a small rock only a few feet away.

The girl just sat there dumbfounded, staring at the rock that the Cherry had just hid behind. Slowly gathering her composure, she stood up. In the tree she could see hundreds of Cherries rocking back and forth in a frenzy to get away.

"It's.. it's alright. I won't eat you!" the girl said, although she felt rather stupid talking to a bunch of Cherries.

She saw as they relaxed slightly, but they still were alarmed. Suddenly an idea came to her. She ran back inside to grab a basket, then returned to the tree and started to gather the Cherries. Thus this shop was born!

User Image = If you want your Cherry to have its very own Journal, please just tell me and I'll set one up :] Making entrees in your Journal is very benificial for your Cherry, so I'd recomend it.

User Image

Cherries have four stages of growth, as shown in the image above. In order for your Cherry to grow, you must provide it with enough water and give it enough attention, as well as proper nutrition. Here are the four stages and the estimated time it will take for them to grow.

Seedlik - This is the first stage, and the form you'll get your Cherry for all flatsales and most auctions. Your Cherry will stay as a seedlik anywhere from 3 - 7 days.

Chews - This is the second stage of your Cherries life, and as you can see there are two Cherries. Sadly, one can not live while the other is alive, so one will die. This stage lasts from 1 - 5 days.

Chedlik - This is the third and final stage of your Cherry's growth. At this point you can buy clothing items if you wish to with your earned Seediks.

User Image
Hmm what could this be? Another stage? I have a feeling it won't be as simple as just keeping them nurished to reach this stage, though. I think I heard that you have a better chance at reaching this stage if you get your Cherry from the customs or an even higher chance if you get it in an auction.. but I also heard that roleplaying and owning a journal will help greatly getting to this stage..

[Left to Right: Hungry, Sick, Very Happy]

1) Hungry - When your Cherry is hungry, it's a very good idea to FEED IT. Scroll down to the Shopping post to buy it some Formula A Cherry food, or make something from scratch.

2) Sick - This can happen if your Cherry is unhappy in more then one area, i.e. its water bar is very low and it's hungry. Make sure you fix this right away, or your Cherry could die.

3) Very Happy - You've obviously done something right! When your Cherry is this happy, odds of getting more Seedliks when reproducing is increased, as well, something special could happy such as surprise gifts.

So how do I cook? First you must purchuse a recipe notebook which will show up in your journal, and if you dont have a journal Ill set you up with one. When cooking, you'll have a bar that tells you how high your skill level is. The more you cook, the higher it gets. You can cook different foods with different levels. Every time you cook something or make something, you recieve Seediks, Cherry currency. You can use these to buy accessories and other items. The more skills needed to make something, the more Seediks you recieve for making it.

How do I combine foods? After you buy the ingredients you need which show up in your recipe notebook, go to your journal and make an entree, such as:
-Ruby combines a banana, sugar, milk and ice into a blender then presses the on button. She watches as the ingredients swirl around until they've all blended together, then she pours the drink into a glass-

So, I don't have a Recipe Notebook. Can I still cook? Sorry to say, but without the recipe notebook, you can't get any recipes! So who KNOWS what you'll be putting together! So make sure you get a notebook now so you can start your journey to be the worlds greatest cook =]

Okay! I have my Recipe Notebook and a whole bunch of ingredients, can I cook now? When cooking, you must wait for a recipe to show up in your journal. Once it does, follow the instructions carefully and make an entree in your journal. You can't cook food without the recipes, though. You're cherries! You've never cooked before, and have no idea how to cook, so the recipes are VERY important to your success as a chef!

Would you like to have your Cherry produce its own little seedliks? It's easy! All you have to do is buy the special watering can. In it lies water mixed with a chemical unknown to mankind, and once sprinkled onto your adult Cherry you'll be joined soon after by 1 - 3 little seedliks.
