[ A/N: Hey, guys !! I've decided to write a Chelsea/Vaughn story again, and I warn you, it might sound… really.. Dull. This isn't one of my inspired stories. Just felt like writing it, you know? R&R, even if it's bad. Thanks! Once again, none of the characters I own. They are owned and created by HM. ]

Silence. Complete, utter science.

It was Day 16 of Spring, only sixteen days after I first came to this undeveloped island, in which is called "Sunny Island". Whoever named this island is a complete freak. This lame area of land isn't even sunny all the time. Are you kidding me?

Back to the story, now.

And he was here. Vaughn, was that his name? He barely talks to me, only these words:

Him: "Can I come in?"

Me: "Who is it now? Yeah, sure. Wait a minute."

Him: (after coming in) "The name's Vaughn. I bring animals from town to this island."

Me: "Um… okay."

Him: "I'm here a few days a week. Anyhow, I just came to say hello. See you around…"

"It's not even Wednesday!"

"So?"

And then he walked out of my house. Awed, jaw dropped, I stared at my hand, squinting. He touched me. Ew.

I whisper, "Jerk," for no apparent reason, then.

Frantically, I raced around my house, neat and tidy, looking for a wash cloth. Did I mention I enjoy clean things? It's not my fault I was forced by Taro into living at this piece of junk.

Grunting, I looked at the time. It was a wristwatch, reading 7:40. Wow, that's not too- HOLY SHIT. I'm late! Taro said he had something for me!

As a last doublecheck, I rummaged through my rucksack to find my essential tools and items in there - hoe, watering can, and hammer, for the tools, and fish, seaweed, flowers, and a whole other variety of grasses I'd found in my days of foraging around the three current parts of the island. I had 14,000G in my pocket; now, I know that sounds a lot, but really, it isn't. I guarantee you.

Throwing it over my new outfit, I stumbled out the door to greet the old man, who appeared to be handling a… fishing rod. Wow, disturbing.

"Uh.. Um. As much as I love this, Taro, I don't wish to take it from you. You keep it," I said gently, keeping a calm façade. But he was ignoring me, for all he cared about was making me take this.. This horrible, messed up-looking stick-pole.

The elder rambled on, finished, and held out the fishing tool to my face. "Keep it, okay?" He put on a pouty face, threw the pole at me, and left before I could even emit a word from my mouth.

Stuffing it in my rucksack, it magically fit. It was bigger than my rucksack, though it still was able to be put into it. And then I headed off for my fields.

Because that enigmatic animal trader, Vaughn with the beautiful purple eyes, (wait- what am I thinking..?) came only today, I had no animals, no barn or chicken coop. I figured they'd come once I got 42000G in total, but I'd be still be getting animals around 20k, only 4k away! Boy, I was excited for that day. Meanwhile, I had no livestock to tend to, no crops for the first few days of the island, so it was pretty boring then. It was pretty boring in that time period. I foraged the little items on the island, walked around, talked to the villagers, and then went to sleep. See, the boring cycle, as it usually happens. Trust me.

At about 8:05 AM, I started watering my crops - turnips and potatoes. Turns out the Turnips, planted on the 8th, were ready to be harvested. I plucked the seven of them out eagerly, and ran to my shipping box to unload 5 of them. Today, I'd be at least 400G richer, certainly.

I finished that around 9AM, and jogged towards the house of Taro to ask Natalie something.

As casual as I could have started with despite my mood, I took a breath, and knocked on her door. "Come in!" Natalie yelled, her nasal voice cracking. I frowned. This wasn't like her. But I came in anyway.

"Hey, Nat! I have your book back!" I choked out, noticing Elliot was there and staring at me. I shot him 'the look', before chucking the hardback on the bed. She grinned slyly, and pulled me outside.

"Eh… What's all excitement 'bout, Nat?"

"Did you see that new rancher thing?"

"You don't even know what it's called, he. So clueless. Yeah." I chortled, picking at my fingernails impatiently. "So?"

Natalie squealed, jumping up and down. It looked messed up, as her pink curls kept and waving in the breeze. I finally laid a hand on her shoulder to calm down, and she did.

"He is sooo hot!"

"Whatever."

"Hey, wanna go to the beach? I have my stuff ready, and picnic lunches." I asked, grinning.

Casually, she replied, "Sure! Just let me get my swimsuit on and junk." The childish, pink-haired girl left for inside, but came back a few minutes later, jacket and towel slung over shoulder and clothes over bikini.

I left alongside Natalie, satisfaction leaning on me as we made our way down to the beach. Towel, umbrella, picnic table, and suntan in my hand, I was going swimming, yeah. I also decided to fish. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be famous cuz that!

It was sunny, warmth and rays dripping down from the sky. I had gotten my swimsuit forehand, a black and white polka dot two piece, on at my own house, my own safety haven. I spread my towel over the soft, granite sand, opened up my umbrella and set it down, watching Natalie doing the same.

"Swimming, eating, tanning, swimming, then tanning?" I had already had this day planned out. A-

Swimming: 9:35 AM to 11:50 AM

Eating: 11:55 AM to 12:20 PM (or at least that's how long it takes me)

Tanning: 12:20 PM to 1:00PM

Swimming: 1:05 PM to 3:10

A total of 5 hours & 35 minutes. "Like it," Natalie replied, sighing dreamily. "Shall we start?"

I nodded, and into the waves we plummeted.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

We were all done cleaning up and junk, by the minute of 3:20PM. The sun was still high up in the sun, which we both seemed pretty damn happy about. Drunk as I was in hyperness, I was still pretty tired. Or at least, my eyes were. Seriously. 3+ hours of swimming? Fun, but tiring. Very.

Dragging myself around the town to forage, done at 4:30PM, I lunged towards my own home. I decided to get some reading in, eat, and then head to sleep.

_________________________________________________________

I shoved the covers over me, my head nestled against the fluffed pillow, cropped sideways. My eyes were closed; I was rather tired, the swimming did it.

And I dreamed. I really dreamed.
