*Chapter One*
Jill glanced down at her watch. 5:45. She had to hurry because in her letter she told Celia
she would be at her house at six. Her heart pounded as she ran down the dusty old road
that lead from Mineral Town to Forget Me Not Valley, and sweat poured down her face
somewhat because it was summer and even the nights were hot but mostly because she
was nervous. Never in her life had she met this "Celia" and she was afraid she wouldn't
like her. But maybe things would go well for her this once, maybe everything would turn
out ok. Maybe . . . . yeah probably not.
"Hello there! You must be Jillian."
Jill looked up to see a young brunette about her age standing in front of her. She was
wearing a dull green dress and an orange bandana and she was smiling at Jill from ear to
ear. This must be Celia. Behind Celia was a stocky middle aged woman, or at least what
resembled a woman, Jill couldn't really tell. She smiled and shook Jills hand.
"You must be Celia and yeah I'm Jillian but you can call me Jill . . . I guess."
"I'm Celia and this is Vesta. We're sooo glad to have you staying with us this week."
"Thanks for letting me stay here so unexpectedly, I know you probably just got my
letter yesterday."
"It's no problem! Those bags look heavy, why don't I show you to your room, or I guess our room, and you can put them down there."
"Kay."
Celia brought Jill into an old log cabin and took her upstairs to an attic bedroom. In the
upper left corner were two small wood beds, both with pink quilts, and in the upper right
corner was a chest of drawers and an antique desk and mirror.
"Just put your suitcase here and then I'll show you the rest of the house."
Jill put her stuff down and the two of them walked downstairs and Celia showed her the
tiny kitchen and dining room. She also showed her the other bedroom that Vesta and her
brother share. While Jill was wondering what Vestas brother could possibly look like
Celia was rambling on about the scenery and fresh air.
"Hey I have an idea!" Jill jumped at Celias high pitched squeal.
"W-what?"
"Why don't I take you around and introduce you to the villagers that live here!"
"Well . . ."
"C'mon it'll be fun!"
"Okay but first I have a question."
"Alright go ahead."
"Is Vesta a man or a woman?"
"W-what!!! What do you mean!?"
"Well I can't tell if Vesta is a man or a woman. So which is it?"
"Definitely a woman!"
"Oh okay got it."
Celia and Jill walked in silence for a few mintues. Jill would occasionally glance at Celia
to see if her question had offended her but it appeared that she was just trying to hold
back laughter. They made their way to town and Celia stopped.
"Well this is the main part of town. That big building over there is the Inner Inn, the smaller building beside it is the Blue Bar, and past that is just random houses where some villagers live. Oh and there's a farm just up that road there. What do you want to see first?"
"Uh lets go to the farm first."
Celia led Jill up the road to a successful looking farm. Jill was looking around at all the
pretty crops and animals when she noticed the house. Had she been here before? It looked
so familiar. Jill couldn't quite put her finger on it but then memories flooded her mind.
She was two years old and her and her mom were standing in the kitchen.
"Mommy what awe you doing?"
"I'm cooking dinner sweetie. Are you getting hungry?"
"Yep."
The young woman reached down and accidently touched the stove.
"OW! OW! OW!"
"Mommy awe you otay? Wet me tiss it and make it better."
Jill took her moms hand and gave it a gentle kisss.
"All better! See mommy."
She showed her mom her hand. It was still red and causing a lot of pain but her mom smiled.
"Thank you Jill mommy feels all better now."
She patted Jills head and went to the sink to put cold water on her hand.
And then Jill remembered, this house was the exact same one she lived on with her
parents when she was little. Tears started to form in her eyes. If only those wonderful
days could have lasted forever.
"Jill?"
"H-huh! What?"
"You zoned out for a minute, is everything okay?"
"Y-yeah. So who lives here?" She asked as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Claire and Rock Johnson."
Jill looked over and could see a young blonde man playing with about five little kids. He
noticed them and got up.
"Hey Celia, what brings you here? Oh who's this?"
"Rock this is my cousin Jill, Jill this is Rock."
"Nice to meet you Jill."
"Nice to meet to."
The five children came up and the smallest one, a two or three year old blonde girl,
tugged on Rocks shirt. He picked her up.
"Kids why don't you say hello to Jill."
"Hewow!" They all chimed in unison.
"Wait so these are all your kids?"
"Yep mine and Claires. Oh here comes Claire now."
Jill looked back and saw a relatively tall blonde woman. Her long hair was pulled back in
a ponytail and the dress she was wearing showed off her huge baby bump.
"O . . . M . . . G." Jill whispered to Celia.
"I know. They reproduce faster than bunnies and they've only been married for four years."
"Wow."
Claire walked up with an inquisitive look on her face.
"Hi Celia." She looked at Jill. "Who are you?"
"I'm Jill Parker Celias cousin. I'm staying here for a little while."
"Oh well I have work to do, bye."
"Uhm, bye I guess."
"So Jill let me introduce you to my kids."
Jill turned back to look at Rock and the little girl in his arms.
"Okay."
"This little one is Katie," he gestured to the littlest girl in his arms, "this is Maria, and this is Renae, Raleigh, and Rock Jr. Renae, Raleigh, and Rock Jr. are triplets."
"Nice to meet you guys."
The kids didn't pay attention to Jill, they just walked away and started to play.
"Well I guess we better go now Rock. C'mon Jill. Bye Rock."
"Goodbye Celia, bye Jill."
"See ya Rock."
As Celia took Jill to meet the other villagers she thought about her decision to come here.
Was it the right decision? Or would she come to regret it like all the other choices she made?
