Spring 29, Sunday

In her world of just love. A world she created on her own with her own mind. A beautiful world just for two. Herself and her beloved soul mate. She cannot put the way her soul mate may look like though. But she knows her dream boy will come to her one day and tell her that he loves her. Once she knows when he's the one then she would put right in her mind. In her world of love. Peace. No one to disturb their romantic talks and walks. Forever she will be together with her lover. They would do everything together, just right in her mind. She would make him give her flowers and gifts. He would have the most wonderful voice and sing to her. He would sing the most romantic songs to her while she would sit and listen. She would float in his smooth voice and maybe turn into a singing butterfly herself. Then they would both share their first kiss under the stars. A passionate kiss of course. They would kiss forever and-

"WAKE UP!"

Claire screamed as she jumped out of bed. She looked around urgently squeezing the brown teddy bear in her hands.

"Calm down, sleepy head," said the voice of her friend.

Claire sighed furiously. "Don't do that, Jill!" she shouted. "I was having the most romantic dream!"

Jill raised both her eyebrows. "Sorry, Clairey,"

Jill was wearing her usual work uniform. Her red T-shirt, some blue jeans, her green backpack, and her hair were tied into two pigtails.

"I still can't believe I'm living in this house with you…" Claire mumbled.

Claire and Jill were both ranchers. They both had to live in the same house together, because they couldn't afford two houses. And they had to share a ranch together, and take care of animals. They also had to help each other out on making money to upgrade their house and buy stuff.

"It's your turn to do the animal work," Jill said, as she scratched her itching cheek. She tossed Claire a loaf of bread that was wrapped in plastic. "Eat, get dressed, and let's get to work," Jill left the farmhouse.

Claire was mumbling furiously as she slipped off her pajamas and put on her usual clothes. Her orange and yellow t-shirt and blue overalls. When she was finished with her small meal she left the farmhouse and went outside. She stopped just outside her door. It was a bright and sunny day. Claire opened her mouth and breathed in the nice fresh air. Then she exhaled. Jill was over by the water pond watering the crops. Claire walked inside of the animal barn and got straight to work. She talked to the cows; she rubbed them, milked them, and fed them. She did the same with the Sheep. Then she went to the Chicken Coop and rubbed, washed, and fed the chickens and ducks too.

Several minutes have gone by, and Claire was done with her work. It was already 9:00am. She sighed and tumbled into her farmhouse. Jill was already in the house, looking at some device she had. It had a little screen on it and it showed all of the Sprite Stations. Not all of them though. They only had Channels 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. Claire noticed Jill was watching Channel 2, the TV Shopping one. Claire didn't have one of those devices like Jill. She had lost hers so Jill was like her own little TV operator. Claire sat down on the bed.

"So…anything we can order?" Claire asked.

Jill was silent for a moment. Then she screamed and started bouncing around. "We can get the Tool Box now!"

Claire nods slowly. "And how much is it?"

"It's 2000 G," Jill replied, grinning. "We defiantly got enough to buy that,"

Claire sighed. "It's not like we need it…I mean we only have 52555 G and that's not a lot of money, Jill,"

"Well, it's not just your money. I'm buying it," Jill walked over to the telephone. She put it up to her ear and started dialing numbers. "Oh hi…Yes I would like to buy the Tool Box…right thanks," Jill hung up. "It'll be here 2 or 3 days,"

Claire rolls her eyes before hopping off of the bed. "I'm going to walk around…" she slammed the door behind her once she left the house.

She walked out of the ranch and down the main pathway. She saw Chris and her husband, Wally, walking towards Mineral Town way.

"Good morning, Chris and Wally,"

Chris gave Claire a bright smile. "Good morning, Claire. How's Jill?"

Claire looked up with her eyes. "Well, she's okay,"

"Good day to you, Claire," Chris said before walking off with Wally.

"Good day to you too…" Claire murmured.

After a while of walking, it was almost 4pm. Man, time really flies. Claire thought. She decided to go to the excavation site to dig for some gold. When she went inside the dig site, Gray was there. Claire didn't know Gray very well and she never talked to him much. Jill had told her once that Gray had a crush on her. Claire didn't believe Jill because she didn't think any guy would love her. Claire thought if she should say something. She opens her mouth, but nothing came out. Gray turned to look at Claire.

"Claire, right?" he asked.

All Claire could do was nod.

"I guess you already know me then. You came to dig?"

Claire nods again and takes out her hoe from her backpack. She started digging in the dirt with her hoe. Already, she had found some gold an old mask. Claire hadn't noticed that Gray was watching her the whole time. She was starting to get uncomfortable and she decided to stop digging. She stuffed her hoe into her backpack and walked towards the exit to leave.

"Bye!" she heard Gray shout.

"Bye…" Claire murmured as she left the dig site.

Claire went home when her clock on her watch hit 9pm. When she got inside of the farmhouse Jill wasn't there.

Probably picking up the weeds in town. Claire guessed. She took off her backpack and then slipped on her pajamas. Then she started fixing her bed on the ground. It was her turn to sit on the ground and it was Jill's turn to sleep on the bed. Once Claire was done, she lied down her bed she made and closed her eyes.

After a few minutes someone came through the front door. Claire looked up and saw Jill leaning against the door. She had this weird expression on her face. She looked in love.

"What's the matter with you?" Claire asked.

"I just met this guy…Phantom Skye…what a pretty boy…" Jill whispered. She looked as if she was going to faint. "Well, time for some sweet dreams!" she exclaimed as she hopped in the bed without taking off her backpack or changing clothes.

Phantom Skye? Claire thought. Who is he and why haven't I ever met him?
