Dedicated to kittykyo5467 ! Written in Chelsea's POV. I made most of the people and places up so....... I kinda own and Petz... unless there is a pet store called Petz... I don't know any........ ANYWAY......

I DO NOT OWN HARVEST MOON IoH, OR 'PHEINEAS AND FERB'! ! ! ! !

... ... ... ... .... ... .. .... .. .... ... ... .. .... .. ... ....

"And take over the entire.......Tri-State area." Said the crackling voice of . I was watching 'Phineas and Ferb' on my laptop when someone knocked on the door of my apartment.

" Chelsea! Get out here with your hands up!"

"Ya, ya, I'm coming." I yelled across the room. I threw on an orange blouse and left it unbuttoned to show the yellow shirt I wore underneath, put my laptop in my bag beside my money and heading towards the door I brushed my hand through my hair. Walking out the door I closed and locked it, throwing the key behind a plant. I faced the boy leaning against the wall opposite my door. My half-brother and neighbor, Mark, smirked at me and we headed out.

Down the elevator Mark told me a joke that I cannot reveal, I can only say that I was laughing non stop and when the elevator reached the main floor, I tripped. I waited for the loud THWAK! Of the cold concrete flooring and my head connecting. It didn't come, instead I heard only a low groan. 'Shit!' I thought. Realizing that I had fallen on someone, I moved my head up in order to see my savior.....er.....cushion... It was a man, not much older than me. He was wearing a brown leather vest and black everything else. When he moved to rub his head I noticed his face. Shoulder length silver hair tied back in a low ponytail and beautiful purple eyes along with a permanent frown plastered on.

Just as I was getting off of him, Mark whacked my back real hard. I tumbled back down on the poor soul, my face met his. Our lips touched and my eyes widened. The silver haired man was blushing wildly. Suddenly I was pushed off of him by a very strong, pale hand.

" Vaughn? Are you okay?" A pale girl leaned over the silver haired 'Vaughn', shaking him relentlessly, " The lady didn't hurt you, did she?" I cast my eyes downward, away from the beautiful pair, the girl had shiny black hair, large glasses and overly pale skin. 'Vaughn' got up, he glared at me, then Mark, and finally the frail little girl.

"I'm okay Sabrina...." He dusted himself off and stood up, then taking up his bag from the ground he walked towards the registry counter. Sweet! He's moving in! I thought. I would live to see Vaughn McGrumpy again. 'Sabrina' glared at me and followed the guy. I turned to mark and he just shrugged. And so we set off for work.

"We have a new member joining us today, filling in the position as the animal groomer and part time vet, give a nice, warm hello to Mr. Vaughn Inniger!" Ms. May announced to all of us workers at 'Petz'. Wait. 'Vaughn'? That Vaughn? I looked up from my register to the front of the small store. Indeed it was the same Vaughn that I had tripped over this morning. I blushed remembering. I stared down at the cash box in front of me. I heard the 'klik klak' of Ms. May's shoes walking over to me.

"Chelsea, you've been working here for awhile, right?" I nodded " I want you to show Vaughn here the ropes okay? Thank you dear." Ms. May patted me on the head and 'kilk klacked' away, leaving me and Vaughn behind.

"So, Your name is Chelsea, huh?"Vaughn said. His voice was a lot smoother than it had been when he had been talking to the pale girl in the apartment building. I looked up. His deep frown was still there, but his voice and eyes gave him away. To what, I'm not quite sure. But to something. Over in the far corner Mark stood setting up the pet beds, he wolf whistled and signaled his buddies to do the same.

"Stupid Mark." I mumbled.

"Your boyfriend, I assume." Vaughn smirked as my face grew warm.

"No way, no how. He's just my brother." I shook my head madly to emphasize. Cooling down, I magically pulled a bright red bandana out of my apron's pocket and wrapped it around the top of my head. Vaughn's smile grew slightly wider.

" I guess then, he won't mind if I take you out for coffee after closing then?"

"Are you kidding? He's always trying to.... I mean, I'd love to." I smiled playfully, at least I hoped it looked playful... " Mark won't mind."

"Great. Now, aren't you supposed to be showing me some rope?" Vaughn smirked and I led the way to the back to show him the stock, then the pets up for adoption, the pets for sale, and finally the grooming station and registers. And the bathroom. This was the start of a possible 'more than a friendship' relationship, I just knew it....
