It was a chilly spring morning when the accident happened. The accident that would change everyone's lives, for better and for worse. The center of all this started on the second day of spring, in the mountains between two rival villages. Twins Phillip and Lillian were on their way to their village to start their new lives as farmers. With Phillip on the reins of this exploration, Lillian lounged atop their little cart to catch an hour or so of sleep before they arrived. The hadn't really made up their mind as to where they were exactly going, but they figured that when they saw either place, they'd decide. The two were known to quarrel, so they knew they'd have to compromise. Phillip had ranching in mind, where soft- hearted Lillian wanted rows and rows of plants.

It had been a long journey from the city, and Phillip's shift was just about over, he yawned. The road ahead looked like a straight-shot. He could close his eyes, just for a minute... Just a minute... He started to doze, slouching a bit, but keeping the reins in his hands.

A family of foxes lay stretched out on the trail, Lillian sat up with a stretch and spotted them just in time to throw herself up to Phillip and jerk the reins. The little pony protested as the cart teetered and eventually started flipping down the trail. Lillian screamed as she was flung into a bush, Phillip into a pond, and all their belongings down the trail.

The commotion had birds stirring from trees, animals curiously peeking out to see what had caused this fuss, and most of all, villagers from both villages getting worried. Ina, from the Konohana village decided to see what was the fuss. As did Rutger, from Bluebell. With both mayors, hurrying up the mountain, the twins tried to continue their journey.

"Lillian?" Phillip called out as he crawled out of the pond. He was already very aggravated at being soaked and cold. He raised his arm too quickly and heard a rip. Looking down at his already-battered clothes, he regretfully saw a large hole on the side. He sighed. He finally stood up and started wringing out his clothes, glancing around for his sister. "Are you alright?" he tried again, but without an answer. This was getting on his nerves. "Lillian I know you're somewhere over there, I saw you land in a bush. No more napping!"

A groan reached his ears as he started walking towards the tall bushes. "Phillip?" A pained voice squeaked from the bushes. A moment later, Lillian peeked out, holding her head. This was a sign Phillip recognized and he jolted forward, on his knees to examine her.

"Are you alright? Are you bleeding? What hurts? Lillian do you know what today is?" He started burning through the questions a million words a minute. If she was injured, he wouldn't forgive himself.

Lillian shrugged off the older boy, smiling a bit. He was commonly worrying for her health, and not paying enough attention to himself. "Phillip, I'm alright, I just have a headache. Today is Tuesday, I told you I'm okay."

He sighed, relieved. He started to stand up when two voices called out in unison. "Are you alright?" Silence. Then yelling.

A tall woman appeared into their from the east path down the mountain. She was dressed in a strange Japanese-styled outfit, and carried herself in a cocky manor. She looked intimidating as she yelled, "Rutger! I knew you had to be the source of this mess!"

The older man that came from the west path puffed up in annoyance. His grip on his cane tightened and he narrowed his eyes at the woman. "Have you lost your eye-sight, Ina? I just arrived here like you. Perhaps you should invest in glasses."

They both glared at each other, not minding the twins sitting on the ground. Lillian cleared her throat loudly after a few minutes of silence. The two mayors turned to the twins, smiles painted on their previously-hostile faces.

"Are you two the farmers we we're expecting in Bluebell? Bluebell is down this path, we'll get you both set up-" Rutger explained before he was cut off by Ina.

She boomed in her loud voice, "Hold it! We had word of farmers arriving in Konohana!"

Rutger shrugged nonchalantly, "a mistake then."

"How do you know yours isn't a mistake?!" Ina growled.

"Stop!" Phillip had enough of their arguing. He hated fighting, Lillian was cowering down, watching the two go at it in silence. This was a regular occurrence of the two. Lillian cowered, Phillip spoke out. Of course he expected a lashing from his outbreak.

The two mayors apologized quietly, adjusting their postures.

"So we choose a town?" Phillip asked after all of the explanations and formalities were out of the way. Ina and Rutger nodded eagerly. He glanced at Lillian, who was now sitting up on her knees.

"That's easy!" She exclaimed with a smile. Phillip nodded slowly, hoping they were both thinking the same thing. Lillian looked at her brother, "on three?" Phillip agreed.

"One..." They kept their eye contact.

"Two..." Phillip had his answer.

"Three!" They both exclaimed in unison before shouting out their answers.

"Bluebell!" Phillip yelled.

"Konohana!" Lillian yelled just as loudly.

The two mayors looked confused, not knowing what to do in this situation. The twins, however, had launched into an argument.

"What's so good about smelly animals?!" Lillian demanded, standing up with vehemence as she argued.

"What's so hard about playing in the dirt?!" Phillip stood up as well, getting in her face. He knew Lillian hated that and he was ready for a brawl with the younger twin.

Lillian crossed her arms in a pout, turning away from him. "Harder than having your little pets!"

"Pets? They're animals! You work hard to take care of them!"

"I bet I could do it so much better!" Lillian fired at him.

"You're on. I'll live in Konohana and play in the dirt, you'll go to Bluebell and start ranching!" Phillip smirked, knowing she wouldn't last a week.

"So it's settled!" Rutger clapped loudly to remove some tension cause by the argument.

"Yes," Phillip said stubbornly as he crossed Lillian's path to follow the silent Ina down the path to Konohana. The way he walked portrayed absolute confidence, confident that he would win this bet.

Lillian watched them leave, wondering to herself if she had made a mistake. As she started following the chatty Rutger down the mountain side, she knew she had let her anger get the best of her. Rutger chatted so much about Bluebell, but she was barely listening. She was wondering how she'd be able to take care of animals when she barely knew anything.
