Part One: A new start and weird dreams...that aren't dreams?

Victoria Thompson stood calmly in front of her new home in flowerbud village at around nine o'clock pm. She looked around outside at the small stream beside her house. She smiled warmly down at all of the little colorful fish that were swimming around happily in the water. The soft moonlight shone on the water and made the scales of all of the fish. Victoria had always loved fish. Considering her mother used to take her fishing all of the time when she was a kid. She had cried her eyes out when her father used to catch fish and kill them for food. She never ate fish after experiencing that. She hated the idea of killing something so beautiful. Surprisingly though, she wasn't a vegetarian. She loved all meat, except fish. She looked down at the fish in the stream protectively. She decided that she would protect them at all cost. She would try and stop anyone who tried to kill them.

Victoria started to walk back to her house and giggled when the breeze played with her long chestnut hair. Which surprised her because she never giggled. She grasped the door knob gently and opened the door. Victoria looked at the small room in front of her. The room had just been painted white. Her house had been furnished for her. Even so, the room was very plain. There was a small blue bed in the corner of the room, a table in the center, a small table beside her bed, a calender on the wall, and a T.V. Other than that the room was pretty much bare. Victoria dropped her suitcase's and opened the one that had her clothes in it. She pulled out a purple pair of pajama pant and a white tank-top. She quickly put them on and then remembered her box outside and her guitar that was beside it. The box had a number of little things that she had wanted to bring with her. Like her basketball and her photo-album. She sighed and walked outside in her bare feet. A few moments later, she arrived back inside and dropped her box and place her guitar beside it. She sighed again and dropped onto her bed with a small 'thud'. She quickly felt herself drifting off into her dreams.

In her dream, she was surrounded with beautiful flowers. She was in a...garden? In the center of the garden she saw a beautiful statue of a woman. The statue made her feel sad for some reason. Suddenly, three little sprites approached her. Surprisingly, this didn't startle her.

"Victoria, please save the harvest goddess! You need to collect enough musical notes to set her free for her stone prison" Victoria looked at them and smiled. She was a little bit confused, but she was happy to help.

"Um...if there's anything I can to to help...then I'll do it" Victoria said smiling. Suddenly, she was shoved to the ground and landed with a 'thud'. She looked up and stared into a pair of cold, ice blue eyes that were glaring down at her and were full of anger. Then the man turned her attention to the sprites.

"You can't expect a pathetic new girl to be of much help. It would be much easier to let me handle it" The man said gruffly. The man looked down at Victoria again and smirked. "Admit it. This isn't your problem, you don't really want to help" The man didn't even wait for and answer and turned his attention back toward the sprites.

"Jamie! You shouldn't be rude! It would be much simpler if you would just work with Victoria to find the musical notes" The red sprite said to the man known as Jaime. Victoria had a shocked look on her face and Jaime looked disgusted at the thought.

"Like hell I would work with an ugly, little girl like her!" Jaime the looked down at her and smirked a little more. "Well...maybe not little"

Victoria was outraged. No one had ever spoken of her in such a manner before. She knew that she was a little plump and that she wasn't exactly pretty...but it wasn't like she needed to be reminded of it. She was completely pissed off and she had just met the man not even five minutes ago. It was a new record. "And what makes you think that I would want to work with someone like you? So far I've found out that you are an arrogant, rude, stuck-up, asshole who needs to get a-" Victoria was quickly silenced by the screaming of the little red sprite.

"Will you two just stop it!" The sprite's face was getting as red as its outfit. "I can't believe you two! You've just met and you're already acting like an old married couple" Jamie looked frustrated and if even possible...a little more disgusted. Victoria sighed deeply and gripped the grass she was sitting on tightly. "Now that's better. From now on you two are partners and I don't want to hear any complaints!" The man named Jamie scowled and then looked down at her.

"Hey brat! Since we're gonna be working together, what's your name" Jamie looked at her with a little smirk on the ends of his mouth. Victoria got up quickly and patted the dirt off of her pajama pants. She then put her hands on her hips and had an agitated look on her face. Surprisingly, her voice came out calm.

"Excuse me Mr. Asshole. My name is not Brat. It's Victoria! V-I-C-T-O-R-I-A!" Victoria's face was red and her head hurt. She was sick of even looking at the boy in front of her. He looked calm and unaffected while he was thinking. He laughed quietly and then smirked at her.

"I think I like brat better" Jamie flicked her small nose and turned to walk away. Just before he left he looked back at her and smirked again. "See you later brat" Victoria blushed and sighed.

When she had decided to move here she had hoped that she would meet nicer people...but it didn't seem like she would be that lucky. She looked down at the red sprite. It had a sympathetic look on its small face.

"I'm sorry Tori-don't mind if I call you that do you?-Jamie isn't really as mean as he seems, he just isn't good with people. The other people in the village are quite nice though. So please, just bear with him. Who knows, maybe one day you two could be friends" The little sprite smiled widely up at her. She could help but smile back at it's adorable face. She thought for a moment about what he said and sighed.

"Well...I guess you're right" Victoria picked up the little sprite and looked deep into it's eyes. Then she felt it's little hand touch her cheek. The next thing she knew, she was surrounded with a soft white light.

"I'm glad you're feeling better Tori. Goodnight" A voice said. Victoria lost herself to the light and faded back to reality.

Victoria's eyes fluttered open and she looked around curiously. She was still in her pajamas but she wasn't in the garden. She was in her bed...clutching a dinosaur pillow. The sun shone brightly through her window and she looked down at her skin. It seemed to glow. She rubbed her eyes with her arm. Victoria was as confused as confused could get. She didn't understand why she was in her house. She then remembered that the events that had happened last night were just a dream. She stood up and looked around. What shocked her was that all of her things had been put away neatly and her boxes had been disposed of for her. Victoria shook her head lightly. She quickly changed into a simple pair of ripped jeans and a blue T-shirt. She brushed her hair and then put it into a long ponytail. Before she walked out of the house she put on a brown pair of work gloves along with a her brand new pair of brown work boots. She stepped out into the warm, fresh air. The warm morning air blew gently onto her skin. Victoria's eyes rested on a petite yet curvy young woman with short, light brown hair. The woman had an adorable puppy in her arms. Victoria looked at the girl and smiled while holding out her hand. The woman shook her hand and smiled back.

"Hello, you must be Victoria, I'm Ellen. I work at 'Blue Sky Ranch' with my uncle and my cousin" Ellen smiled at her sweetly and Victoria couldn't help but smile back at her. Ellen looked at her and then down at the puppy in her arms. She looked like she had just remembered something important. "Oh! I was wondering if you would like to have this puppy. Our dog gave birth to a litter and this is the last puppy" Victoria looked down at the puppy with a sweet and warm expression on her face.

"I'd love to keep him!' Victoria reached out and accepted the puppy happily. Ellen giggled sweetly and Victoria couldn't help but giggle too.

"Well, I'd best be going. I have to work. I guess I'll see you later" Ellen smiled before walking off. Victoria looked down at the puppy who had become alert and excited. She sat him on the ground and thought about a name for a little while until she found the perfect one.

"I think I'll call you...Ace" Victoria laughed when the puppy responded with a small bark. "I'll take that as a yes!" When Victoria began walking down a path that led to a bridge she noticed that Ace hadn't left her side. She smiled and kept on walking. Victoria walked past the bride and past many trees. Then she noticed a big wooden building with smoke coming out of the chimney. She walked forward and opened the door. The warm air rushed through her. Inside was quite charming really. She could smell fresh wood, grass, fire, and iron. She looked around and noticed two men that looked around her age. She could only see one's face though. The taller on that she could see had dark brown hair that was covered by a blue-star bandanna. He was quite handsome in a boyish way. He was smiling at the slightly shorter one. The shorter one had the same color of hair but had on a camouflage head band. She couldn't see his face. The taller one noticed her and smiled. "Um...hello. My name is Victoria. I bought the farm beside the river"

The taller boy flashed her a brilliant smile that sent butterflies flying into her stomach. He nudged the man with the camouflage head band. The man grunted and turned around. Victoria blushed when she received a better view of him. Even under his loose shirt and vest, she could tell that he was muscular. He also had broad shoulders and amazing biceps. His skin wasn't tan, but pale. She noted his mouth, which held perfect full lips. His eyes were what struck her the most interesting. They were onyx. She felt a shiver run down her spine as he looked at her.

"Hey Tori, nice to meet you! My name's Joe and this is my brother Kurt. We're kind of...apprentices here. Our boss is out right now gathering supplies, but if you come back later I'm sure he'll be here" Joe then looked at her puppy and smiled. "Cute puppy. Does it have a name?"

"Yeah. I named him Ace!" Victoria said while picking Ace up and holding him out to Joe. He smiled enthusiastically and took Ace into his arms. Ace licked Joe's cheek happily. "I think Ace likes you!" Victoria laughed. Joe smiled and then laughed when Ace growled at Kurt.

"I agree with you Tori, but I don't think Ace likes Kurt much" Joe laughed and Kurt sighed before turning around and going back to his work. Joe looked at Victoria and smiled apologetically. He handed Ace back to Victoria who smiled back at him. She turned to look at the door.

"Um..I'm sorry but I really must be going. I still have to go around and meet everyone. I'll see you both around. It was nice meeting you. I'll be sure to stop by again sometime". Joe just smiled and nodded and all she got from Kurt was a small 'Bye'. She smiled at Joe and then stepped out the door. She put Ace onto the ground and started walking. Eventually, she noticed a pretty little farm. The sign read 'Spring Farm' in beautiful cursive writing. Victoria decided that the farm would probably be a great place to visit. She was about to walk in, but ended up colliding with someone. She looked up and gasped. She stared into those ice blue eyes and she felt all the blood drain from her face. Then she remembered that the last time that she had encountered Jamie, it was in a dream. He looked down at her and seemed to read her thought. He smirked and caused her to blush.

"Morning Brat" Victoria gasped and Jamie laughed. "I can't believe that you actually thought that last night was a dream!" Jamie kept laughing as her expression slightly changed. "You really are stupid" Jamie must have realized that he had struck a nerve because he had backed up slightly. Victoria felt so frustrated and wished that looks could kill because if they could...Jamie would've been about forty foot under.

"Jamie...you're such an asshole!" Victoria shouted as she prodded Jamie's chest with her finger. Jamie grabbed her hand roughly and pushed her away from him.

"Stop acting like a child" Jamie said calmly. Victoria was too angry to notice that a woman with pink hair had been watching them. She began prodding his chest again and looked at him defiantly.

"Go to hell" Victoria was about to speak her mind a little more but stopped when a pretty, young woman with pink hair stepped between them.

"Now...what brought all of this on?" The woman asked. Jamie just shrugged and walked away and Victoria shouted at him.

"Did I mention that you were rude?!" Jamie turned around and smirked at her. Victoria was beginning to really hate those stupid smirks of his.

"Yes actually, and I'm deeply offended Brat. I think that I just might go home and cut myself now...because I'm so damn upset about it" Jamie walked off and Victoria sighed. She hated sarcasm even though she did it on a daily basis. Victoria decided to push him out of her mind and then turned to the pretty, but confused pink haired woman.

"I'm sorry about that. My name's Victoria, I just moved into the farm by the river".

"It's fine. Jamie sometimes does that. You really shouldn't take anything he says to heart" The woman smiled at Victoria. "My names Nina, by the way" The woman looked like she had just remembered something because she immediately began looking through her bag. Then she pulled out a book and a small bag. "The mayor instructed me to give you these. It's a book on growing crops and a bag of turnip seeds" Victoria smiled and accepted them happily. "Now, you'd better be going. You still have to meet everyone right?" Victoria nodded and said her goodbyes before running off.

It was around six o'clock pm when she had finally finished visiting everyone. That is...everyone except the household of 'Blue Sky Ranch'. Victoria opened the door and immediately noticed Ellen who was smiling at her. "Hello Ellen" Victoria looked around and noticed a man drinking milk. She swore that she must have gasped. He was just so...handsome. He was tall and had a sun kissed tan. He was wearing a baseball cap on top of messy reddish colored hair. He was also very muscular. Victoria whispered to Ellen. "Who's that?" Ellen giggled.

"That's Blue, he's my cousin" Ellen said while pushing her toward him. Then Ellen smiled up at her cousin and pulled at his arm. He opened his eyes only to reveal a beautiful pair of sapphire orbs. "Blue, this is Tori, she's our new neighbor" Victoria smiled shyly up at Blue and then yawned. Immediately the boy had a concerned look on his face.

"Maybe you should head home and get some sleep. It's not good to overwork yourself" Victoria blushed and nodded before picking Ace up and saying her goodbyes. She set off for home and when she got there she immediately changed and went to bed. Shortly after, Ace jumped on her bed and curled up next to her. Victoria smiled warmly down at Ace and closed her eyes.

"Night Ace..." Victoria drifted off into her dreams.
