The shorts themselves are relatively easy to locate: they can be found in Marnie’s room. The room is located on the ranch. The farm is situated just south of you. The only problem is; you have to be first friends with Marnie. Friendship with Marnie can be achieved by either completing a quest, but since quest is hard to come by; Option B is to build a friendship by giving Marnie gifts.

Bonus Tips: Giving gifts is the easiest way to befriend someone in the game. Marnie especially appreciates the following items:

• Food items, particularly Cakes, Corn, and most cooked items
• Valuable gems like Diamonds
• Eggs gleaned from a Coop
• Milk gleaned from a Barn
• Flowers

Marnie is one of the key individuals in the game, and you will be better served in the long run; by being friends with her. The game only allows you a maximum of two gifts. So give Marnie something special instead of cheap items.
