A/U: Hey guys! Maple lover here! This is my first fic and I really hope it'll turn out well.

I've been obsessing over HMDS cute for a really long time, and I've grown to love reading JillxSkye fics~

Skye isn't necessarily my favorite bachelor, but I think that he and Jill make a cute pairing!

Without further ado, I introduce to you "a Smelly Farms and an Idiotic Thief"!

Prologue

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I wiped the sweat off my brow and started stretching my back. I had only been working for about an hour, and I was ready to collapse at any moment. I looked around the field to see how much work I had gotten done. And it wasn't much.

The field was still littered with weeds, branches, stones, and other pieces of unrecognizable debris. I had cleared a small area and started planting some seeds. Anyone would say that it was done very sloppily, but I thought it wasn't half bad (considering I had never grown anything before).

Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Jill Jones, or JJ, as some like to call me. I'm 18 years old, and I love to write. Why am I here, at a farm, instead of at a university, studying to become a writer? Funny story. You see, my father used to work on this farm. But one day, he met a "fair skinned maiden with beautiful, long, flowing hair and a smile that could melt icebergs" (also known as my mother) who was passing by the valley to meet some relatives. He had fallen in love with her and followed her back to the city, where they got married and had me. But when I was ten, my father passed away in a car accident. I've been living with my mother and my grandmother ever since. And a year before graduating from high school, my mother told me that I should go work at my father's farm. The idea seemed absolutely absurd at the time (and it still does), so I refused. But somehow, here I am! Working my ass off instead of living my dream as an aspiring writer! Because of this, I'm on pretty bad terms with mother now. Why would she send me here? Couldn't she tell I was perfectly content with a city life? How was this supposed to be refreshing? And why did she say it would help me? I don't have any problems!

I shook my head and wiped my teary eyes. It just didn't make sense to me, sending a city girl to an old abandoned farm all by herself. Alright, I wasn't completely alone. There was uncle Takakura who lived on the farm with me. He wasn't my biological uncle, but he and my father were best friends. They grew up together, and even after my father had left, he visited us quite often.

There was also everyone else in the valley. They all seemed so friendly and welcoming, but I found that a little unsettling. I know that doesn't make sense, but I had grown up in the city. Complete strangers being friendly with you isn't a good thing.

I let out a sigh and went to go get my watering can. I still had a lot of work to do, and it was still 9 in the morning. This was going to be a long day.

A/U: I hope you like the prologue! Constructive criticism is welcome!
