Mom, Called Serenity. Yes Serenity? The Goddess said as she left the spring. How come I can't leave the spring? I want to see the other villagers and all the buildings! Serenity's eyes shone brighter with every word. Serenity…You can see the villagers during cooking festivals! That's not the same; you're the only person I get to see! Oh Serenity that's not true! Her voice was filled with trying to get this over with. I take you out to go visit the Oracle every once in a while! But Mom I'm 14! I should be able to walk around on my own! "Why do all of a sudden care about going to the villages?" The goddess looked for a distraction, an excuse to get out of this conversation. Because, I want to meet people! I mean I have a bunch of dresses! To wear to what, sit around in that darned tree?! I mean on the rare occasion someone visits the spring you make me go into the multiplayer field until they leave! She felt childish as she yelled and stomped her foot when she didn't get her way. Serenity I am your mother. I'm the only one you got. And there is only one of you, if I let you out until the world and you don't come back, where does that leave me? Finally realizing there was nothing to distract her, she gave up and sat in her tree. Exactly what I'm talking about, where would that leave YOU? What about where it leaves ME? Everyone in the villages knows about me. So my birth wasn't a secret! That leaves no reason why I can't explore! Because I said so and I'm your mom Serenity. With a typical "because I'm your mom and I said so voice" I don't think you really are. Serenity crossed her arms and put her eyes in her favorite "I DARE you to say something now" position. What? Why would you even assume that I'm not your mom? Hmm let's think. I have Black hair you have blue hair. I have green eyes and you have blue eyes! We look nothing alike! We are nothing alike! Goddess looked down, her eyes filled up with loneliness and memories. You've always looked like your dad… Serenity's eyes opened wider than saucers. My…Dad?
Ash? Ash! Look! A butterfly! A Butterfly! Catch it for me Ash! Pleeeeeeeeeease? The little girl with the blonde pig tails shrieked and tugged on her brother's shirt. Okay Cheryl calm down. Hmm? What's that noise? What noise Cheryl? Coming from the spring! It sounds like yelling…I'm going to go check it out. Cher! Wait, come back! Cher! Ash tripped over a rock and fell in between two tree's. That's when the very first two people in the world (except Oracle) had ever seen Serenity the harvest princess.
The Goddess laughed quietly. He was a handsome man Serenity. You look just like him. Every time I look at you, I see him… Mom! Mom…is… Is that why? Goddess laughed again. Yes Serenity. Your all that I have left of your Dad. I can't lose you. I need to look at you and remind myself that he was real. And not just a dream…Its selfish. But I need you Seri. I really do… As long as I have you, I have him. The Goddess was trying not to cry, not in front of Serenity. If she started to cry again, she might not be able to stop herself this time…And the Oracle might not be able to save her from her past again. To make her stop crying, to distract her. Mom… Yes Serenity? Im sorry. The goddess looked up. Her eyes were puffy, but she hadn't cried. Its okay. *rustle, rustle* Huh? What was that noise mom?
Ash tried to stand up but he couldn't stop looking, and listening. He was just to nosy. Then like a punch in the stomach he realized…he was looking at Serenity the Harvest Princess. Ash? Come on! Let's go say hi! What? Ash was still trying to rip himself away. What? NO Cher! Are you crazy! But Cheryl was already running, and after 11 years of her, Ash knew there was no stopping her. And if you can't stop them, you go with them. So Ash stood up, and went after his little sister.
