I finally set down her watering can and stretched. After such a long day of work on the farm, I was ready to kick back and R~E~L~A~X.
That is, until I remembered I had to go pick up a package from the Villa.
"Oh, great... Maybe I can pick it up tomorrow..." I muttered, glancing at the clock perched on my night table. It read 10 pm.
"NOOOOOOO!" cried the Witch Princess, apperaing out of nowhere, as usual, scaring the living crap out of me. "Jill! In order for you to save the Harvest Goddess so I can be happy and stuff, you need to work! So get yo' tush up and GO TO THE VILLAAAAAAA!!!!" she ordered, pointing toward the large mansion to the west of my farm.
"Ugh! Fine..." I grunted, and dragged herself to Romana's. By the time I got there, it was around 10:30.
No one was outside when I got there, and most of the lights inside were turned off , but in less than five seconds, the door opened and out walked a silver-haired girl. She saw me by the fountain and walked over to me.
"Hehe. Hello, beautiful."she said. I backed away. What is this girl's prob? Upon closer analysis of her voice, however, I came to realize that this girl... was a guy! "Walking alone on this fine, moonlight night?" he continued, gazing at me.
"Ummm... who are you and why are you, like, hitting on me?" I asked, backing away even more.
"Hehe. I'm quite the ladies' man, and a prince of the stars." he replied.
"Pffff!" I snorted then quickly disguised it as a cough.
Suddenly, Lumina dashed outside and cried out, "Jill! It's that thief who warns his victims ahead of time! He just robbed us!"
"Thief?!" I asked, and turned back to the guy, but he had already made his way down to the village.
"Hehe. It's been fun, but I gotta jet out." he said, saying all of this calmer than I would have. He stared at me. "Hehe. Call me Phantom Skye." He even had a girly name! "I'm sure we'll meet again soon." And then he was gone, walking into the mist of the night that was slowly creeping in from all sides.
"Get him!" yelled Lumina, and charged after him. I was left standing there alone in the dark.
Suddenly, I heard voices from the stairs.
"Hold up, beautiful. Don't let such raw anger steal away your beauty." came Skye's voice.
"What a smooth talker... S-skye..." Lumina's voice wavered in the silence.
Lumina came back blushing furiously. "I didn't get him, but... oh..." she smiled and hummed something to herself as she skipped back to the Villa.
"Wait! What about my pack-" Slam.
"Hunh..." I knew it would be pointless to just sit here, so I dragged myself back home and collapsed on my couch. It's been a long day.
Smooth talker... He called me beautiful... I shook my head. No! I'm not crushing on him! He's a thief, for crying out loud! Hehe.
Author's Note: Ah, tis the return of Skye. This story was kind of rushed, I found it in the back of my notebook and I'm putting it up here just out of sheer boredom. There is lots of fluff in later chapters, so be warned!
