Summery- Just another harvest moon story, 'baised' on my game. (gameboy advance, 'friends of mineral town')
Dominic pulled himself out of bed.
"That was a long night." he told himself. It had just been the new years festival, and someone had slipped a little rum into his drink. He had a hard time remembering what had happened the night before, he just remembers meeting a mysterious girl, with long blonde hair. She was to die for. He got into his farmers outfit and headed out the door. The mayor was waiting to see him.
"Your behavior last night was inexcusable. Drinking, skinny dipping with the visiting president's daughter. Another outburst like that, you'll be kicked out of town" the little plump man was being serious, this time.
"Sir, I can explain. Well you see..." his words were cut short.
"None of your excuses Dominic. It's not going to work this time."
"Um sir, can I ask you one question?"
"Sure ask me anything!" he responded joyfully. It seemed that not many people liked the very annoying short man, so when he was asked a question, he took it in with pride.
"Did the president's daughter have blonde hair?" he was going to find out who that mystery girl was, and he wasn't going to stop until he found out.
"Oh no! His daughter had brown hair, long as Popuri's hair but only brown, like Elli's hair color."
"Darn it." Dom mumbled.
"What was that?" the mayor asked.
"Oh nothing." he said quickly.
"Well I guess that's about everything. Now remember, if you need anything... you can always ask me."
"I know." he said kind of annoyed. The mayor said that every time he visited. After the 20th time, it really gets annoying.
"Ta, ta now." the mayor said leaving.
"I have to find that girl, I want to know who she is!" dom said to himself. (Dom is his nick name) he went to the barn to go feed his cows, Betsy and Darla. Not to mention, his sheep Bobeo. After he was done taking care of his animals he went to his horse, Simba, he brushed him then he went to town to visit his friend, the doctor. He wanted to know if he had seen the girl. He walked into the clinic. Elli was there to greet him.
"Hi Dominic." she greeted him.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Come to see the doctor?" she asked in return.
"Um yeah, I need his advise." Dom headed over to his desk. (FYI dom new the doc's real name, it's Derrick.) "Um dude, I need to ask you something."
"What is it?" he asked.
"Do you remember anything from last night? Like a girl with blonde hair?"
"The only girl close enough to having blonde hair that I remember is Karen, but that's it, someone slipped some rum into my drink last night so I don't really remember anything."
"To bad... wait, did you just say someone slipped some rum into your drink? That same thing happened to me! And then the mayor cam and talked to me this morning!"
"I don't know about the mayor thing, but everything else, that's just freaky!"
"So your saying the mayor didn't come talk to you this morning?"
"Nope, feel bad for you though, that man can get really annoying!"
"Yeah I know!"
"So tell me about this girl..." Derrick began, but he was interrupted by the sound of the front bell ringing as it opened. Thomas (the mayor) walked in. "Well, better go see what he wants..." he got up not very excited. He went to the door and shut it. Then he walked back to his seat and sat down. "Elli will get it, and if he wants to see me... I'm in a meeting." Dominic chuckled.
"I bet he's here to talk to you about your crazy partying last night."
"Dude I could lose my job because of that. I really have to find out who did it so I can get off the hook. Same with you. Your lucky you're a farmer."
"I almost got kicked out of town for 'skinny dipping' with the president's daughter. Hey after Thomas leaves lets go get a pop or something."
"That doesn't sound too bad, I wonder what that old Cooke is here for anyway." he got up and went to his door. He peered out the small window that was attached to the door, attempting to see anything. "Well I'll be darned. Thomas is flirting with Elli."
"No way! Let me see!" Dominic got up instantly and ran to the door. He peered out to see Thomas talking to Elli and Elli smiling. "Ewww! Who would like Thomas flirting with them! That's nasty."
"I dare you to go out there and start flirting with her. She'd be more excited then she would with Thomas. After all she likes you."
"Um, I donno, she might get the wrong idea."
"Just do it, or at least try to figure out what they're saying."
"Fine." Dom opened the door quietly so Thomas wouldn't hear, he also shut it quietly too. He tip-toed around the corner, just close enough to hear what they were saying.
"Well thanks for helping me with this Elli." Thomas said.
"No problem, anytime. I'm sorry that the doctor was 'acting strange' last night" she responded.
"What are they up to?" dom whispered to himself. He tried to get closer.
"Well I better be off, I'll talk to you later." Thomas said. Elli giggled. And with that Thomas left. Right after the door closed dom came out of his hiding place.
"So, um... what did Thomas want?" dom asked.
"Oh nothing. Just came to pick up his proscription." she giggled again.
"Um, okay." and with that he went back to go tell derrick what he had heard. He went into the office and he told derrick all he heard.
"'acting strange'" he did the air quotes. "What was that all about? If you ask me, I think they're up to something."
"Na, what gave you that idea?" dom said sarcastically. "Well I'm going to go find out if anyone else has seen this mystery woman."
"See you later then, we'll get our drinks later, after I get off work. K?"
"Sure, see ya." Dominic left and headed for 'Saibara's Shop' maybe gray new who she was. He walked to the shop but it was locked. He looked at his watch, only 10:00. Of course, the shop doesn't open till 11. He decided to go back to the town 'supermarket' to buy some things to make for dinner that night. He walked in the store, he saw Zak, he was talking to Jeff, Karen's dad.
"Oh! Dominic! How are you? How's your shipment going? You working hard?" Zak yelled from across the room.
"Um yeah, I guess."
"So what you hear for, I bet I can get it for ya for free! As long as you work hard with that shipment!"
"Um I was just here for some groceries." Jeff didn't look so pleased to hear Zak giving things away for free. After all it is his store and Zak had no right giving things away that he payed for.
"Well I'll hook ya up for some free ones k?" he started putting hand fulls and hand fulls of stuff into his hands. "Your ganna need this, and this, oh and of course this."
"Um I think this should be enough..." he could barley see over anything the pile was so huge. "I better go put all this stuff in my fridge, but before I go, did you see anyone at the party last night that had blonde hair?"
"Nope sorry buddy. See ya later then." dom headed out the door and went back to moon farm to put his stuff in the fridge. After he was done he headed back to town to meet Derrick at the town pub (a.k.a.: Doug's Place) for a pop he entered the pup to find gray getting some milk.
"Hey gray!" Dominic shouted.
"Sup dom?" he responded.
"Nothing much. Um can I ask you a question?"
"Sure man, anything."
"Do you remember a blonde haired girl from the party last night?"
"Oh um... let me think... nope sorry, I was talking to Mary most of the night. Sorry dude. So um, what you here for anyways?"
"Oh I'm meeting doc for a pop or something. You can join us if you want."
"Oh sure, why not." just then Derrick (the doctor) walked in.
"Hey doc, over here!" gray shouted to him. The doctor walked over.
"Hey gray, how's it going?" Derrick asked.
"I'm fine. Just chillin you know?" he responded. Derrick nodded. "So um, after the drinks, what do you guys want to do? Maybe we could hang out ro something."
"Um sure, that sounds cool, so dom you up for it?"
"Um yeah sure I guess. Where we going?" dom asked.
"Um I donno maybe going to Poultry Farm to make fun of Popuri again. That's always fun."
"Yeah, but the only problem is that, since her mom, Lillia, has been sick, she's been staying home more often, and I don't want to be caught making fun of her daughter." Derrick explained.
"Well then, lets go to mother's hill and see if the Harvest goddess will grant us a wish!"
"Sure, why not." dom replied. They finished drinking their pops and headed out the door for mothers hill. They passed 'woodcutters', where Gotz worked and lived. And they went to the 'hot springs' to talk to the beautiful Harvest Goddess.
"Dom, I think you should ask for her to come out, cuz your such the 'lady's man'." gray explained.
"What do you mean 'lady's man'?" dom asked
"I mean that all the girls in this town have a major crush on you, they just go for the other guys, we're their 'back ups'." Dom had a confused look on his face.
"He's right you know..." Derrick explained.
"Wha... what? I am no 'lady's man'. This is bogus!" both Derrick and Gray scuffed. Dom began to think and then he realized he was a lady's man. And that all the girls do like him. On top of that, their caring guardians wanted him to marry the ones they were guarding. Elli's grandma wanted him to marry Elli. Doug wanted him to marry Ann. Jeff wanted him to marry Karen. Lillia wanted him to marry Popuri (but that was definitely, not going to happen), and both of Mary's parents wanted him to marry Mary. But dom had his eyes set on one girl, and he didn't even know who she was. "Fine I'll do it." he picked up a flower and tossed it into the pond next to the spring, and the beautiful harvest goddess came from where he threw the flower.
"Oh hello Dominic!" she said flittingly. (Even she wanted to marry him, but it was only proper to wait until asked.)
"Hey." he greeted her back. "Me and the guys were wondering... if you could grant us each a wish."
"Any thing for you Dominic!" she still flirted.
"Please, call me Dom."
"Okay, Dom." she seemed really happy that she was allowed to call him by his nickname. Derrick went first.
"I wish that Elli would start liking me some more and a little less of Dom."
"Your wish is my command." she said to him. Gray went next.
"I'd like the same wish as doc, but only with Mary." again the simple words to say that it will come true.
"Your wish, is my command." last, it was Dom's turn, he was going to wish for the girl, but he couldn't do that to the Harvest Goddess. So he wished for something stupid.
"I wish that Karen, Elli, Popuri, Ann, Mary, and you would like me more."
"Aw man!" both Gray and Derrick said at the same time.
"Why'd you have to wish for that?" Derrick complained.
"Your wish is defiantly my command!" The goddess said excitingly. To her, that meant that he was going to pick one of the girls in this small town, and her being the most beautiful, she had the better chance.
"So um... while I'm hear, the firework festival is coming up... you wanna go with me?" dom asked her.
"Do I ever! You ganna come pick me up or should we meet at the beach?"
"I'll pick you up." he explained. After that they left, it was getting dark and they needed to get home.
"'so um, the fire work festival is coming up...'" gray mocked. "What happened to your mystery girl?"
"Yeah why didn't you wish for her?" Derrick stepped in.
"Well I was going to but then I thought that if I wished for another girl that the Goddess would get mad and wouldn't grant my wish, so that would just be useless anyway, then I asked her on the date because... well I dought that I'm ever ganna find her anyway, I was to drunk last night to remember, and everyone I ask doesn't even know who I'm talking about." they stepped onto Dom's property to find a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes waiting for him.
"Um, Dominic?" she asked. He realized who it was.
"Yeah..."
"It's me Emma, from last night..." he had hoped that she wouldn't say that.
"Um yeah..."
"Well I was wondering... the fire work festival is coming up, and I don't have anyone to go with..." gray tried to stop from laughing, but a few chuckles cam out.
"Um yeah, I'll go with you." Dom told her.
"Say what?" both gray and Derrick asked.
"Great, I'll see you then." she left.
"What are you going to do about Harvest goddess?" Derrick asked.
"I'll move our date up a week and then I'll cancel the one with her for the fire work festival so I can go with Emma." dom explained.
"Just hope, that this works!" gray cut in.
"Don't worry, it will."
