Prologue: A Flower Wilted.

Muffy brushed her hair as she sat on her dressing table, looking into the mirror, showing her pale, cute face. Her hair was lush and blond as she put the brush down and looked at the clock.
It was six o'clock at night. Muffy stood up and walked down the steps from her room to Griffin's. She pushed the door in Griffin's room open to the bar. Griffin was out, having to go into town for some supplies. Muffy walked out and locked the door. Then, she strolled along the path, street lights coming to life as the sun began to fall...it was a lovely summer's Evening.

Celia looked up as the door to the living room (And bedroom, it could be called.) opened. Jack walked in, holding a basket of crops.
"Well, that's the turnips done. The strawberries will be done by tomorrow at..." He put a finger to his chin.
"Noon."
"That's good. I've just finished the Apple Pie for dinner."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as Celia turned to pull the pie out of the oven.
Jack went through the door as Celia set the Apple Pie onto the table, plates, forks and knives ready. Jack came through with Muffy.
"Celia, it's good to see you!" Muffy hugged her as Celia smiled.
"It's lovely to see you too, Muffy, how are you?"
"I'm fine, how are you and Jack? Married life must be so wonderful..."
"It is." Celia dropped her voice as Jack pulled up a chair.
"I have a loving husband who works hard and such wonderful friends in the valley."
"Great! Thanks for inviting me over for dinner!" Muffy commented as she pulled up a chair.
"It's fine! You're such a good friend to us." Celia smiled as she cut a piece of the pie for Muffy, she had baked it because it was Muffy's favorite food.

Jack and Celia finished their dinner as Muffy was chewing on the last few pieces.
"Right, I'm full. That was wonderful, Celia." Jack spoke as Celia stood up, carrying her and Jack's plate to the sink.
"Thank you, Jack." Celia kissed him on the cheek as she put the plates into the sink.
Suddenly, there was a smash as Celia and Jack turned around, Muffy was on the floor, her plate smashed to pieces.
"Oh no..." She looked on the verge of tears.
"Jack, Celia, I'm so sorry..."
"No no! Please don't worry! It wasn't that good anyway." Celia bent down and picked up the pieces.
"Do you need help with the washing up?" Muffy asked.
"No thank you, I can manage." Celia spoke.
"As you wish. I'd best get home, Griffin wants me back by eight." Muffy waved goodbye as she exited from the kitchen and across the living room, out into the fresh air of the farm.
She closed the door and walked off.

Suddenly, Muffy's face showed anger and fury as she walked back to the Blue Bar.
"UGH! Those two are the worst! Such pathetic lovebirds...Jack was supposed to be MINE! My love!" It was almost like a whine, as if it had been unfair.
"Grr...That pathetic little harvest girl with her stupid smile and her sweet nature, I'll have to do something...something that will split them up! Something that will make Jack coming running to me away from that annoying woman! And then...
Muffy smiled.
"Jack will be mine.
She blinked, she had come to the Blue Bar without even realizing it. No one was around, so hopefully to her, no one had seen her looking angry.
Muffy walked in as she smiled again...
