Ok Everyone, so since I just got a Wii of my own. ^_^ YAY! I have taken a liking to Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. I have a copy on hold at the library for the time being... But thanks to fanart and youtube videos, I have decided to change the storyline a bit, and make a Gill X Angela/Akari story. Chapters 1 and 2 are 2 seasons apart, yes. And I am still working on chapter 2... but, regardless. I like it. Yay, so here we go!

Chapter 1: A New Rancher

It was a bright warm day in Harmonica Town. Spring had just arrived. And Gill hated it… Springtime always gave him more work, because of new residents, and new festivals that his father decided to make up.

Gill sat at his desk in town hall… writing out some bills and other things. He sighed deeply. Why did he have to do all of this work?

"Gill?" his father's voice called out. "Gill? Where are you?" The blond rolled his eyes. What could his incompetent father want from him now? Mayor Hamilton walked into his son's office. "Ah, there you are son, how is the paperwork coming along?"

"Same old same old," he grumbled, setting down the pen he was using. "Can I help you?"

"Yes, actually, I need a favor," he said. Gill sat back in the wooden chair and put his hands behind his head.

"A favor?" Gill questioned. This won't turn out too well. He thought to himself.

"You recently turned 21 years old," his father began. "And do you remember what your sister had to do when she turned 21?" Gill's eyes widened. He immediately flushed a deep pink.

"What does this have to do with a favor?" Gill asked in a low voice, almost inaudible.

"Let me finish," his father said. "Now, I am going to give you, let's say… two years, to find yourself a wife. Or I will disown you," his father said. Gill fell back in his chair, landing on the wood floor.

"Disown me!" he cried. "You can't do that!"

"I certainly can," he said sternly. "Your sister found a husband, and now they are expecting a second child. You can easily go find a wife. What about that Luna girl who took a liking to you last year?" he asked.

"She's not my type…" Gill muttered.

"Well then, this is where my favor comes in," his father said. "There is a new rancher moving in today. Her name is Angela, and I would like you to go greet her and show her around town."

"What? No way, I'll pass," Gill said.

"Then come with me at least, maybe she's pretty," the mayor said.

"Do I have to?" Gill whined.

"Yes, now get some shoes on, we're leaving in 10 minutes," Hamilton said. Then he left Gill's office, the door slamming behind him.

Angela set down her suitcases and surveyed her surroundings. She winced at the house. It was broken down, the paint was peeling and the porch looked like as if it would collapse right under her feet. The barn was in decent shape; at least it had a roof… Well Angela, she thought to herself. This is what you get for 5000G.

"Angela, don't forget that we have to see the harvest goddess," a tiny voice rang out. Angela turned to face the tiny sprite dressed in orange.

"I won't forget Finn," she said with an eye roll. "Just let me get settled in, and you can lead the way." Finn gave a satisfied head nod. Angela looked around again and hung her head.

"Hello there!" an unfamiliar voice called out. Angela and Finn turned. Two people approached them.

"Hello!" Angela responded cheerfully.

"I want to welcome you to Waffle Island! I'm Mayor Hamilton, and this is my youngest son, Gilbert," he said. Gill shot a glance at his father.

"It's Gill, dad," he muttered. Hamilton ignored Gill's remark. Mayor Hamilton stuck out his hand.

"You must be Angela; it's a pleasure to meet you." Angela nodded and firmly shook the mayor's outstretched hand.

"You too," she replied. She reached out her hand for Gill to shake. Mayor Hamilton elbowed Gill.

"Gill, shake her hand," he ordered sternly.

Gill looked up from the ground, and at the girl with her hand out in front of him. Her chestnut brown eyes gleamed in the sunlight. She was really cute. Gill reached out his hand.

"I…I'm… Gill," he stammered, turning pink. The girl smiled.

"Nice to meet you," she responded with a giggle. Gill let go and turned to his father.

"Ok, I met her," he said in a dull voice. "Now may I go back to paperwork?" he asked.

"Yes, you may…" Hamilton said. Gill rolled his eyes, turned and walked away.

"Forgive my son," Mayor Hamilton said as soon as Gill had left. "He's just… tired, this morning." Angela looked at the blond walking down the road.

"It's OK," she said with a blush. Hamilton raised an eyebrow.

"Well then, I just want to let you know that there is no deadline for the 5000G dues, just pay when you have some income," he said. Angela nodded.

"Thank you sir," she said with a nod.

"Well, I believe that is all," he said. "I will talk to Gill; do stop by Town Hall sometime soon."

"Thanks," Angela said. Mayor Hamilton nodded and made his way down the road. Angela sighed with passion.

"Angela? Angela?" Finn called out. "EARTH TO ANGELA!" the brunette turned to Finn.

"Huh? What?" she asked.

"You like that boy don't you?" Finn teased. "Angie likes a boy, on her first day!" the little Harvest Sprite sang. Angela grabbed him by the collar.

"Will you please shut up?" she growled. Finn was quiet.

"Ok..." he groaned.

Haha, Angie likes a boy! Angie likes a boy! Hahahaha. Ok, so I'll post soon. And for those wondering about the Channy Story, I'm still writing that too. Hahaha. Kay, Byes!
