Relationships
Emily lives with her sister Haley, and together they and care for their parents home, who have been traveling the world for the past two years. She works with Gus, who employs her part time at the saloon. She is also friends with Sandy, whom they both mention. Sandy, at her first meeting with the player, claims to have been aware of the farmer's presence even before access to The Calico Desert was opened, saying that she had written to Emily about the newcomer.
Several dialogues and cutscenes reveal that Clint has romantic interest in Emily, though he is too shy to tell her.
You can give Emily up to two gifts per week (plus one on
her
birthday), which will raise or lower
her
friendship with you. Gifts on
her
birthday ( 27 Spring) will have 8× effect and show a unique dialogue. For loved or liked gifts, Emily will say
“
“A birthday gift? That's very kind of you! I love it.”
“
“You remembered my birthday! Thank you. This is great!”
At any friendship level greater than zero friendship points, you may receive a gift in the mail from Emily. The chance of receiving a gift in the mail increases as your friendship with Emily increases.
How are you doing? I hope you enjoy the gift I've sent you... Well, goodbye!
-Emily
Two Hearts
Enter Emily's house.
Details
Emily is asleep in her room. The screen pans and fades, and you find yourself viewing Emily's dream. It's a dreamscape of abstract shapes and colors, clouds, and palm trees. Emily floats above a purple stone structure on a large cloud. She is floating, meditating and chanting "power words." You appear out of the cloud, surprising her. She wonders what you are doing in her dream. Rainbow streaks fly by and she sees them as some kind of sign or omen. You disappear and she wakes up. She gets out of bed and says to herself that there is something special about you; she believes that your destinies are somehow intertwined.

Four Hearts
Enter town on a sunny day. Cannot be triggered in winter.
Details
Emily leaves her house on a sunny day. Three parrots fly by, and she waves and refers to them as her "friends". After a moment, she continues walking but quickly stops, confused. A fourth parrot flys in too low and smacks against the window of her house. The parrot is injured. Emily rushes over and cradles the poor thing, promising that she will take care of it. Emily will now have a parrot in her room. The parrot hops around and will squawk if you go up to it and press the "check" button.
(If you marry Emily, the parrot will move into your house as well.)
You'll enter Emily's room. She tells you that she is excited to show you her secret hobby that she has been working on for a long time. She'll then proceed to turn on her stereo and begin dancing for you. After the lights and music end it will ask you what you thought of the performance. You have three choices:
This event was formerly Emily's four heart event, it was changed in version 1.1. In that update it got a new unique song and dialogue, as well as animation and visual improvements.

Eight Hearts
A letter in the mail will invite the player to the Mayor's Manor that same day during open hours.
Details
Emily will send you a letter in the Mail, inviting you to attend her "Clothing Therapy" session:
“
“[Player],
I have this crazy new idea that I want to involve
you in... It's called "Clothing Therapy".
Please come to the Mayor's house today to see what
it's all about.
Love, Emily”
Enter the Mayor's house. Emily will explain the purpose is to help the townspeople express their true selves in the form of clothing. Attending are Mayor Lewis, Abigail, Shane, Robin, and Clint. Each one takes a turn going behind the curtain. Emily instructs them to choose whatever clothes "speaks to them", put it on and then show the world without fear. One by one, you get to see each character's choice. Shane puts on a full "goth" outfit. Robin puts on a fine dress and lets her hair down, embracing her feminine side. Mayor Lewis comes out with a fancy hat, cape, and cane. Abigail comes out in a full suit of armor. Clint is apprehensive about the whole thing, but after Emily coaxes him, he goes ahead. He comes out in a button-up shirt, pink shorts and a beret. Emily sees it and says "Awww... cute!", which makes Clint sad. After he is gone, Emily approaches you with romantic interest. Clint bursts in, saying he's too embarrassed to go out in his new outfit. He sees what's going on and feels awful. He makes some indirect remarks about it and leaves. Emily is confused.
Ten Hearts
A letter will invite the player to meet Emily in the Secret Woods after 10pm that night. (Note: If it is raining or a festival day, the event will trigger on the following night.)
Details
You go camping with Emily in the Secret Woods. There is strange grunting coming from the forest. She says it's cold and snuggles up close to you by the fire. A bear comes out of the woods and approaches your campsite. It grunts loudly and you both jump and dive into the tent. The bear sniffs around and leaves. Emily says that one of the sleeping bags is still out there, and she's not willing to go out and get it... so you have to share a bag. You hear movement in the tent, the screen fades and the day ends.
The next day, the player receives a letter from Emily, saying
“
“Thanks for joining me last night... I had a great time. I'm actually glad that bear showed up!
See you soon
Love, Emily”
Note that if you have not yet upgraded to the Steel Axe, you won't be able to get to the Secret Woods to complete this event. However, the event can still trigger on a subsequent night after 10pm by going to the Secret Woods once you've gained access.
