Chelsea's POV

I packed my bags, stuffing the last bit of my clothes in the already overstuffed suitcase. Staring at the enormous mount, I sat upon the scarlet red luggage, and tried to zip it up. It still came to no success. So, without a second to think, I walked over to my phone, and called up Julia.

"You need help closing your suitcase?" she laughed. "Well that's a catch. You want me to drag Natalie over, too?"

I just laughed and said, "That would be great."

"We'll be over in a few."

Julia's line was cut, and I hung up the phone. I just looked back over at the tall, bloated suitcase, soon to get a rampage of knocks at my door. I walked over and pulled it open, to see Julia and Natalie there, smiling widely. It only took me until now to realize the sky had grown dark and it must've been past six by a landslide.

"Hello darling," Julia chuckled, "now, let's see this impossibly large suitcase of yours."

I let them in, and when they saw the size, they stopped in their tracks. I just giggled lightly, when Natalie looked back at me and said, "Are you going to live there or something?"

"And have you ever heard of maybe a third suitcase? It is eight weeks, no one there will judge you," Julia added.

"No," I said strongly, "I promised myself only two suitcases, no ifs, ands, or buts. So sit on that thing so I could zip it closed!"

And with that, they exchanged a quick glance, shrugged their shoulders, and climbed on top of the suitcase. The size decreasing slightly by their doubled weight, I grabbed one of the zippers and pulled it through. It made it only half way, when it came across a bulge that kept it from continuing.

"You must have like…a dead body packed in there if it won't keep going," Natalie said just a tad sharply.

"Make some room," I said with small smirk, "I'm sitting on it too."

So they let the middle open for me to squeeze through, and I zipped it closed. I sighed of relief.

"Thank Goddess," I said with a breath. "I was getting nervous it wouldn't work."

"Yeah," Natalie said, as her and Julia hopped off. "Glad we could be of assistance."

"Alright," I waved my hand away. "You go do…whatever you want to do. I still got to roll up a sleeping bag."

And with that, they rolled their eyes and laughed, and left my home.

Angela's POV

"When's my birthday?" I asked in a slurred tone.

"Summer…twenty forth?" Luke asked, his voice also meshing.

"No!" I said, with a belch afterwards.

We both laughed into hysterics.

I turned to the door to see Kathy and Selena see me with Luke and I at the bar, basically drunk. I waved frantically, and burped again, Luke and I still laughing. I was a bit tipsy, but I wouldn't say utterly wasted.

"Angela, what the hell is up with you?" Kathy almost screamed, getting me to my feet.

"Having fun," I said, my eyes fluttering closed. But they quickly flopped open again. "You s-should try it sometime."

"Have you even began packing for camp tomorrow?" Selena wondered.

"Why are we going to c-camp…anyways?" I said slowly. "Aren't we a little old?"

"It's barely camp," Selena told me, "they just call it camp. It's really like…like a Club Med. One of those new adult hangout-places. We should be lucky that Hamilton got it for all of us, his treat."

"Whatever," Luke butted in, "Hamilton Shmamilton."

"How could you be so rude?" Kathy retorted.

"I'm not."

I just laughed and Kathy declared, "We're taking you home. Did you finish packing or not?"

"Of course."

"So then c'mon," Selena took one arm, while Kathy took the other, "see you around, Fluke."

"Whatever, Peelena."

She cringed as he said that name, and I was carried back to my home in Caramel River District.

"I swear I'm going to kill him," Selena mumbled. "One day."

Mark's POV

I didn't think that I was actually going to be doing this, but, here I was. I had Denny and Elliot helping me gather all of my stuff. I was going to this camp. And I was absolutely excited.

"Y'know," Denny raised his brows, "the brochure says anything happens here."

I just laughed and asked dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

"He means," Elliot spoke up, not used to it though, "you can get that special someone you've been eyeing."

"I told you, there is no one I like." I tried to make it clear. And convincing.

Because I really did like someone. But I wasn't going to say who it was, not with them both here. Especially with Elliot here. If Elliot found out I liked Natalie, he might have freaked out. And Elliot freaking out is daily, yes, but it's usually about the same stuff, like Natalie yelling at him and whatnot. But I didn't need Elliot freaking out about me liking his sister. That was the last thing he needed right now.

"Sure you do," Denny pushed me. "I'm taking this to advantage to get to Lanna."

"And me to Julia."

Elliot and Julia was always such an odd couple to me. But we all knew that they both had a thing for each other, the only people that didn't know about it were them two. I found it odd though, considering she flirted with him so constantly and obviously that Denny and I actually began to gag from the sidelines.

"It's true though," I spat, closing up my last suitcase. And I sighed of relief. "Finally done."

"You know who you should like?" Denny smirked.

"Oh no," I said, stiffening, "not this."

"You should like…Chelsea!"

"Chelsea?" I said, my eyes growing as wide as saucers.

Chelsea was a great friend, don't get me wrong, but there was no way in plain sight that I liked her. She was sweet, and funny, and caring to basically everyone on the island-even that ruthless, jerk cowboy-but there was no way in Goddess' name that I could like her.

"Yeah!" Elliot seemed to go along with it. "C'mon, you two are so alike."

"No," I almost sounded disgusted. Not that I wanted to, but I already had a lass on my mind. "That's just…wrong. We're like siblings, I could never like her."

And with that, Denny just sighed and said, "Fine, dude. You're impossible though. Maybe you're just one of those people who isn't meant to end up with anyone, I don't know."

I looked out the window, to see Julia and Natalie coming down, laughing and giggling about something, and I just watched the strawberry-haired beauty. She might have not thought highly of herself, but to me, she was perfect in every way. And I just stared, not even thinking of Elliot and Denny behind me.

"You okay man?" Denny wondered.

And I didn't even say anything. I was caught up in a daze by Natalie. I looked at the brochure that was next to me, and it read Camp Wapaneck - where anything can happen.

And I mumbled, so silently, so hushed, "Where anything can happen."

Chelsea's POV

I was to meet up with Sabrina at the Café. I never really talked to Sabrina much, but I wanted to know about this eight week "camp" thing they were sending us to. She knows everything about it, because Regis, wanting the mines all to himself, sent all of us younger adults to this eight week thing, and honestly, I didn't mind. Taro was going to watch my farm.

So when I arrived at the Café, Sabrina was already there, along with Will, her cousin. I loved Will, he always seemed to be leading me on and sometimes I liked it, and sometimes I didn't. He was such a sweet boy, but he didn't appeal to me as so. But when I walked in, he blushed immediately, his pale skin now scarlet. I tried to ignore, and sat down at the opposite end of the table."Okay, so what's up with this thing?" I wondered. "Like, are there any other towns coming?"

"Surely," Sabrina responded, "we have every younger adult on this island attending, they all gave my father the okay. There are also people from Waffle Island, and Forget-Me-Not Valley."

"That's it?"

She nodded.

"Although, Chelsea," Will said, "we will be split up into, sort to say, 'units'. The girls will have a few of their own units, while the men will also acquire their own."

"Can I see a map of the camp?" I wondered.

Sabrina pulled it out of her bag and showed it to me. There were six units, three for girls, three for guys.

"Regis from Sunshine Islands, Mayor Hamilton from Waffle Island, and Ramona from Forget-Me-Not Valley, all chipped in to reserve the camp for just us four towns for the eight weeks. It was a high cost, but considering Regis and Ramona are both high and wealth, and Hamilton being the mayor of his town, the even cost for the three of them wasn't entirely bad. The high cost was actually buying the tickets for all of us."

I looked at the map. The three units for the girls were Pine, Maple, and Birch, while the three other units for the guys were Oak, Cedar, and Willow. All named after trees. Hm.

"This is the mess hall, all the way down here, where we eat," Sabrina pointed further away from the units. She pointed even farther down. "And here's Clarkson Lake."

"This place looks amazing," I said in a whisper.

"It is absolute fun," Will smiled, taking my hand lightly. I wanted to pull back so incredibly bad. "My Uncle Regis claims it is where all things happen."

I just nodded, gulping.

Where anything happens. Oh boy.

A/N: yup! i'm attempting to conquer two different harvest moon stories! i'm so excited (:

so as you can tell, this story consists of:

-Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands

-Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life / Another Wonderful Life

-Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility

i'm sorry, i would do Animal Parade, but I never bought the game, so, i'm not going to confuse myself by adding in the new Wizard character or whatever. and i was also going to add in Magical Melody, considering my best friend had that game and i played it sometimes, but it was getting to too many characters, considering that game has SOO many bachelors/bachelorettes. it would've been such a hassle.

the only reason why i regret it is because i had that degrassi idea in my head to do on jamie (:

if you watch the newest degrassi episodes (the boiling point ones) then you might understand what i say when i mean i wanted to make him kind of like adam in the show...comprende?:D

but for all of you who are reading this and are also fisherman-nerd-cowboy fans, there will be plenty of that, as well! updates for everything!

i apologize for this extremely long authors note. goodbye for now!:D
