Aouthor's Note: I am sorry, but I forgot to change all the Roys to Jacks, so every time you see Roy, I mean your character in the game. Thanks!
Together Under the Moonlight
A little boy looked around him and for the first time in his life realized the openness of the country. He saw around him vast fields that would go on and on for as long as anyone could see. He also saw the farm of the old man who had helped him find his parents not a day before. This old man had shown him the simple but sweet life of a farmer, a life that he could only dream of one day having.
From his spot at the outside fence of the farm he could see something- no someone in the bushes east of the farm. It was a little girl, and as he came closer, he saw she had chestnut brown hair that glimmered in the sun and a freckled face that smiled at him. "Do you live here?" she asked.
"No", the little boy replied, as he adjusted his blue base ball cap. "But the old man who does live here is letting me stay with him for a while."
"Then let's play! Uh, what was your name again?"
"Roy. My name is Roy."
Playing a game is one thing that excites a little boy, and Roy was quick to accept the invitation. But a week of skipping rocks, playing in mud with pigs, and chasing chickens goes by a lot quicker than one would expect, and soon the little boy was watching his parents pack up the boat they had came in. He turned to see the brown haired girl looking at him with a cheerless face.
"You are leaving already? But there is so much we still need to do together."
"I wish I could stay too…"
"Will you promise to come back to see me?"
"I will try" said Roy doubtfully.
"But you must! If you come back…I'll, I'll give you my hand in marriage!"
"What? What would I do with your hand?"
The girl just blushed and giggled. Roy's parents began to call him. Oh no, could it really be time to go! He had had the most wonderful time with this girl. He did not want leave now!
He turned to leave, but before he did the girl kissed him lightly on his cheek. "I'll be waiting."
The boat moved farther away from the beach and soon the old man and the little girl waving goodbye on the docks were almost out of sight. Roy thought of the week he had spent here and the dreary life in the city he would return to in just a few hours. Then it hit him, he did not know the girl's name! But of course by now it was too late to turn back. Then he remembered the time capsule that the girl and he had made behind the old man's barn. Maybe that could help him find her again. With the thought of never seeing her again fresh in his mind, he made a vow then and there that he would one day return to the country and find the girl that had brought him so much happiness.
Well, that's the first chapter, hope you liked it! Please R&R!
