A/N: Hey everyone. This is Hope. So normally, I don't write Harvest Moon stories, but I thought I would give it a go. I don't think this is very good, but I don't know. Tell me if it's good, cause then I'll keep writing. Once again, review please cause I need to know what you think. BTW, Vaughn and Skye belong to Natsume but I wish they belonged to me, *sighs.

Preface

Chapter 1: Starting Points

Chelsea's legs wrap around my waist as her lips crush against mine. A low moan escapes from my mouth. She moves her lips up and down my jaw line and slides my hands down to her waist. Chelsea swiftly moves on top of me which results in both of us rolling off of the bed and onto the ground with a loud thud. Damn, I need to get myself a bigger bed, I think

Chelsea and I have been dating for the past three months since I've arrived at the island, and I've been staying with my Aunt Mirabelle and cousin Julia every Wednesday and Thursday.

I am immediately taken aback at my cell phone ringing. I take it out of my pant pocket and Chelsea snatches it out of my hands.

"Hello, who is this?" Chelsea giggled. I couldn't help but laugh, Chelsea was always doing spontaneous things like this. I tickle her ribs and she drops my cell phone.

"Sorry, this is Vaughn, who am I talking to?" I ask with curiosity, barely anyone calls my cell phone.

A familiar voice answers, "Hey Vaughn, it's Uncle Gordon, I got your cell number from Mirabelle, remember me?"

"Oh yes, my favorite uncle! The last time I saw you it was like what, four years ago?"

"That seems to be about right…Look Vaughn, I have some bad news," He clears his throat and his voice became quite shaky, but he continues, "I uh, I have leukemia, a rare type of cancer. I don't have much time left, and I," His voice is unstable now, "I have no children. Your all I have left for family."

Chelsea must have seen my heart broken, surprised expression because she mouths the words, "What's wrong?" I put my finger to my lip to shush her, and keep talking to my uncle.

"I'm, I'm so sorry Uncle Gordon. But, what does this have to do with me?" I ask politely. Uncle Gordon sighs as he answers,

"Since you're my only family, I wrote in my will that half of my possessions and money go to you, which is a considerable amount if I do say so myself" I am dumbfounded, I know my uncle is wealthy, but I didn't know he was this rich. To have money would mean that I could move out of the city and permanently live here with Chelsea.

"Well, uh, thank you so much! When should I visit you?" I ask awkwardly.

"As soon as you can!" My uncle replied happily. I look at Chelsea thinking how good an opportunity it would be for her to meet some of my only family.

"There's a boat leaving tomorrow, but can I bring someone?" As I say that, I stare at Chelsea and her eyes immediately light up.

My uncle chuckles and replies, "Of course, I would love to meet this person. So I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" I nod my head even though he can't see me, "Yup." I respond hanging up the phone.

I stand up and help Chelsea up too. "So?" She says with a smile.

"Well, the good news is that I'm going to be receiving a large amount of money soon!" I reply, but then grimace remembering why I would be getting it, "And the bad news is that it is only because my uncle is dying." Chelsea pulls me close to her as she plays around with my hair. It's at these moments that I love Chelsea even more because she doesn't need to talk all the time; her feelings are portrayed through her actions. I tighten my grasp on her as I remember that she can come with me.

"Chelsea, would you like to come with me tomorrow?" I whisper.

She nods her head, "I'd love too Vaughn."

When I wake up the next day it is 5:30 am. My bags are packed, I've got my cell phone, I called my boss to tell him I would choose this week for vacation. Now all that's left is to get dressed and ready, and to pick up Chelsea.

I head over to the bathroom being careful not to wake Mirabelle and Julia sleeping in the next room. I quickly shut the door and take a good look at myself in the mirror. My silver hair seems to be even more silver than yesterday, I silently curse because of it. Great, I'm going to look like even more of a freak. I gaze into my deep violet eyes, Chelsea says she loves them, but to me, there just one of the reasons I was ridiculed in high school.

I brush my teeth furiously, and put on some deodorant. Next step is to get dressed. I pull on my black skin tight jeans which are always a struggle. Then I get on my brown belt, and black button down shirt. Next things are my brown vest, brown boots, fingerless gloves, and finally, my brown hat. What can I say? I like brown.

I check my watch, 5:46 am. I have enough time to eat. I tip-toe across the hallway as I hear Julia sleep-talking, she's calling out a name, and it's Elliot. I roll my eyes, I'm not surprised, she's been in love with him forever, and I'm the one that has to hear about it.

While in the kitchen I grab a bowl of porridge, my favorite food. I easily chug it down. When I'm done, I head to my bedroom and grab my bags. I remember to write a note to Mirabelle explaining that I'm gone and giving her my cell number, I doubt she'll call me though, she's been bugging me to take a vacation.

The walk over to Chelsea's farm takes about five minutes. Her farm is very simple, two chicken coops, one barn, and summer crops growing. I find Chelsea standing outside of her cozy house. She's dressed in her usual outfit; denim shorts, yellow t-shirt, orange jacket, and of course, her signature red bandana. Chelsea looks beautiful, but I'm pretty sure if you put her in a potato sack she still would.

When we lock eyes we both smile. I greet her with a short kiss.

"How are you?" I ask with a grin.

"I'm excited, but I'm kind of sad to be leaving my animals," She starts frowning, "But Julia's going to take care of them."

I reassure her, "I'm sure she'll do a great job." She stands up on her tippy-toes and gives me a kiss.

We arrive at the beach not a second too early, not a second too late, exactly 6:00 am. The captain of the ship gestures us onto the boat, and shows us our rooms. It turns out that Chelsea and I are the only people on this boat to the city, so we get to pick our room. We end up with an ugly small room, but we choose it because it was the only one with a double bed. Before we know it, we are snuggled up beside each other as we let the boat, and it's rocking, put us to sleep.

A/N: Not bad for my first Harvest Moon Fan Fic. I really enjoyed writing this and I'm going to continue :) I'm currently working on my next chapter, and It should be up either on the 26th, or 27th! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! And to those of you who are reading this: Please review! Please. Please. Please. With a cherry on top? *gives puss in boots face
