One-Shot Collection


Hello fellow harvest moon lovers! I decided that it would be easier on the readers and myself to post all my one-shot's/future one-shot's in a single story. That way you get to read all these one-shot's, and I don't have to worry about my story box getting too busy. Below will be my first one-shot AND a guide to the different one-shot's currently available. It will include the name of the story, a list of main characters AND the word count for that one-shot. So if you want to read, for example, one-shot's staring Vaughn and Chelsea ONLY (WARNING: Most one-shot's will star them) you look for the stories in the list that ONLY star them. Look for this at the bottom of the chapter :)

I don't remember much before now. I was on a plane, headed for a secret destination. My older sister had been pestering me to take a vacation. She kept saying that I'd been "working too hard", and that I needed some time to myself. So, she booked me to go to a secret location for a week on vacation. Although she seemed satisfied with her reasoning. I knew deep down she just wanted more time with her boyfriend. I've been taking at least two days a week off from work, I avoid co-workers and I never get my work down until the last minute. So when you tell me I've been working too hard, I suspect there's a hidden motive somewhere. But she is my sister, so in order to not seem rebellious or angered by her decision, I agreed to take the vacation. What I didn't know, was what the future held for me.

I remember only the storm that had suddenly flown in. There was a lot of lightning, thunder and rain. I remember hearing the crack of the wings as our plane suddenly nosedived to the waters below. I remember us crashing into the water, but after that, my world was black. I don't know if I had lived or died, all I knew is that I was in danger. And danger was something I wanted to avoid. I awoke of course, eventually because I was alive, and found myself on a little island. The sun was high, and the ocean was blue, just like always.

I felt my arms; they were like weights against the sand. My eyes were sore from the crash and my stomach pained, like something had gone through it. I opened my eyes ever so slowly, and noticed that I wasn't on the plane anymore; in fact I wasn't in the ocean…but on a beach. My eyesight was still blurry, and all I could see were shapes and shadows. As it cleared up, I noticed a figure standing above me looking down at my face. Her hair was orange, and she wore a blue apron. She was slightly plump. I shook my slowly in a desperate attempt to wake myself up from this nightmare. The lady placed something cold on my forehead, and I opened my eyes slowly.

"Don't worry dear" the slightly plump lady said. "You're not in danger any longer"

I felt my energy start to come back and I sat up, while rubbing my head slightly. My arm kept the cold item on my forehead, which I now recognized as a bag. "Where am I?" I grumbled.

The lady smile softly, and started to help me stand up. "Sunshine Islands" She exclaimed. "It's a very small island in the middle of nowhere, but we survive" She took the ice pack from forehead. "By the way, my name's Mirabelle. I run the animal shop with my daughter Julia"

I scanned her from head to toe, wondering why I didn't catch that before. She looked like someone who worked with animals. She was kind enough, plus she had on the right clothes. I quietly asked myself why I hadn't noticed before. "Nice to meet you" I stuck out my hand for her to shake. "My name's Sabrina. I was on my way to a vacation spot, but the storm seems to have interrupted"

Mirabelle sighed, causing her smile to fade. "I'm sorry about that dear. You must have been looking forward to that too. Where were you headed?" She cocked her head.

"Vacation spot. I don't know the exact place. My sister planned it for me…"

Mirabelle smiled. "Well you can stay with us for now. We have an extra room in our shop where you can stay"

I looked at her, unsure if I should agree. For all I knew it could of been a trap, and instead of a room, there could be a pit full of snakes. Her face was kind, and energetic, so I assumed that she wasn't some sort of mad women. "Sure" I gave her a wide grin, hoping she didn't change her mind.

Mirabelle nodded, and we started walking. As we approached her home, I noticed a village, a very large village. There were lots of people, and every time I turned around, someone new was saying hello and welcoming me to the town. "Wow" I exclaimed turning my head to Mirabelle "This is a very large town"

The sun shot into what seemed to be the town square. A statue, as tall as the buildings around, stood in the middle and it was of a girl, with bandanna and a rucksack. Around her were animals, a cow, a sheep and a dog. In her hand was a hoe, as well as a crop, probably a strawberry. I stopped and gazed up at the statue.

"Chelsea" Mirabelle said following my gaze. "Our farmer. She brought all the islands back to life..." Her smile faded, and her eyes went to the ground. "She died five years ago. Her cow got mad and ploughed right into her. It broke everyone's heart..."

I could tell she was sad. This 'Chelsea' seemed like a great person, and I said that just by looking at statue. I looked to east, towards a small bridge. In the distance I could a see a rundown barn, chicken coop and everything else that went with a farm. "Was that.." I pointed in the direction of the bridge.

Mirabelle looked in that direction. "Yeah, that's the farm. We closed it off after her accident. Plus no one wanted to take over after Chelsea died…" She let out a long sigh.

I looked at for a moment, and something inside of me flickered on. It was as if someone was pushing me to take over. I ignored the feeling and ran myself after Mirabelle who was holding a door open for me. The building was quite big, big enough to be an animal shop. I walked in after Mirabelle, hoping that no one else lived here besides her daughter Julia. I was wrong. As soon as we walked in, a gray haired man wearing a cowboy suite approached Mirabelle. "I need the paperwork"

Mirabelle put her hands on her hips. "You know where the paperwork is"

"Yeah" He leaned against wall. "But Julia took it and she won't give it back. I've just about had it with her"

Suddenly, a girl with orange like hair and a beautiful figure came bounding to us. In her hands were several pieces of paper and she held them behind her back. "Hi Mirabelle" She looked in my direction. "Who's this?"

"Sabrina" She exclaimed turning to me. "This is Sabrina. She isn't like Regis's daughter, the one who use to live here. Sabrina this is Julia.." She pointed to the girl in front of me. "..and Vaughn" Her finger switched to the gray haired man.

"Didn't ask for and introduction" Vaughn murmured. "I just need my paperwork"

Julia laughed loudly and stepped back a couple of steps. "I told you, you'll get it when you smile!"

"Julia" Mirabelle exclaimed "I've told you once. I've told you a thousand times, stop pestering Vaughn about his smile!"

I looked at the three of them, who were now all crossing their arms and glaring at each other. I knew that this had to be a normal argument in their house, but to be honest, I wasn't in the mood for fights over a stupid piece of paperwork. I slowly walked past Mirabelle and headed for Julia. I could feel their stares on me as I stopped in front of her, glaring. Julia looked frightened all of a sudden, as if something had caught her off-guard. I slowly reached my hand for the papers and grabbed them away from her. Turning to Vaughn I handed them to him. "Here" My glare turned into a bright smile, and I saw him pull down his hat and turn red. "Thanks"

"What is this anyway?" I looked back and forth from Mirabelle and Vaughn.

Vaughn didn't answer at first, obviously hesitant to do so. "Paperwork. I'm an animal dealer"

"Wait" I paused for a moment. "You're Vaughn H? The man who sells animals for the Cattle Horn Ranch in the city?"

"Yeah. Wait, how do you know that?" He crossed his arms.

I laughed, hoping he'd catch on. "My father sells cattle. It's how we became so high up in the social rink. I'm Sabrina White, my dad owns that ranch"

I could see his face, as shocked as I had ever seen an expression before. He must have not recognized me. "You're Charles Whites daughter?"

I nodded. "Yup"

Mirabelle and Julia by now had no idea what we were talking about. I could tell by their faces as they looked from me to Vaughn and back again. "What!"

Vaughn's face immediately went blank again as he turned around and headed for the door. "Nothing"

"Well" I called after him "if you ever need any help, just give me a holler"

He stopped in his tracks and turned his head slightly back. I could have of sworn, and Julia saw it too, that he smiled slightly.

The room was nice. For a farm, and a smelly animal shop, I hadn't expected a nice fluffy bed with a nightstand. In fact, I was preparing myself for a straw bed and couch in the corner of the barn. But this was nice. Back home, my room was just perfect. It wasn't as fancy as my sister's, or as simple as my mom's.

I sat on the bed, taking in my surroundings. I noticed the door slowly open, and saw Julia's head pop in. "Can I come in?"

I nodded my head, hoping she hadn't decided to take anything of mine. She came in, closing the door behind her. "I wanted to talk to you…about Vaughn" She sat herself on the spare bed beside mine.

"Oh, well I wanted to ask you something?" I turned myself to face her. I had some questions about this Chelsea girl, but I thought that it would have been best to ask someone who could have been around her age. Mirabelle had told me earlier, after Vaughn had left, that Chelsea was best friends with most of the girls in town. She had been married to some guy named Will, and Vaughn, being one of her only guy friends, had a massive crush on her.

Julia looked at me, probably reading my face. "I'll answer your question, if you answer mine"

I nodded my head in agreement. "Ask away"

"How do you know Vaughn?" She propped her had on the beds railing and stared deeply at me. "I mean, normally Vaughn acts rude and grumpy towards people. But you two acted like you were the best of friends"

I knew that one day I would have to tell someone this story. It wasn't sad, just something I had never thought about mentioning "Well" I began "When I was little, before my mom started her perfume company, I lived with my dad on a farm. It was lots of fun. We had cows, sheep, horses, goats even a couple ostriches flown in from overseas" I pictured the past. Me, sitting in the tall grass with my dog. "We had a number of helpers, and Vaughn was my favourite. He would often bring his sons with him to help with the work. The oldest was Jack, who was more like his mother. He at the time was 15. His second oldest son was 11, and his name I think, was Howard. Then, Vaughn who was the youngest was my age, and at the time he was 8. I would play with him a lot after he finished working with his dad. One day, I think we were around 10 years, we got the tragic news that Vaughn's family had died in a car accident. Vaughn had come over to play for the day" I remembered the date, the time, the place. Vaughn and I had been talking about our secrets up in the hayloft, my favourite place when my dad delivered the news. All Vaughn did was sit there, in absolute shock. I had to comfort him most of the night. "Because Vaughn's family had no other friends or close relatives, he stayed with us until he turned twenty, which was 6 years ago. Our bond grew a lot stronger, but he started to shut out the rest of the world. After he turned twenty, he left us with just a note, and vanished"

Julia looked at me, eyes widening. "You're…" she pointed at me with her finger "That girl Vaughn would always talk about. The one who gave him the hat"

I nodded my head. "Yeah. The night before he left, he was looking pretty down so I went and bought him a hat to match his cowboy suit. He seemed to really appreciate it, he even..." I trailed off.

"He even what?!"

I shook my head. "Never mind. Not it's your turn. Who was this 'Chelsea' person?"

Julia frowned. It was if her whole body shut down at the name. "No one likes to talk about it. But considering you're going to be here for a while, and you have a friendship with someone here, I'll tell you"

I set myself back against the wall, getting ready to hear the story. Julia did the same, only setting herself against the back of the bed's railing. "5 and a half years ago, Chelsea along with Taro and his family washed up on the shore on this shore. They decided without thinking through it that they would start a village, so Chelsea ran the farm while Taro's family took care of the rest. By the time half a year had gone by, the village was totally restored and then that day came. Chelsea had just married Will and they had settled down and were expecting a child, but one of her cows went mad slammed into her. She was instantly killed. The town erected a statue of her so they and their children's children could remember the amazing thing she accomplished. Vaughn.." She paused. "..was a close friend. He was even in love with her, but after she died, he acted like nothing happened. Like had had never met Chelsea. His attitude just went to what it had always been. See, Vaughn was changed by Chelsea. He started opening up more, and talking to people. Even laughing and smiling, but after her death, all of those things disappeared. That's why I've been trying to get him to smile…but for the last five years he hasn't even flinched. The smile he showed today, was the first one in five years"

My mouth fell open. "Really!" He would always smile around me, even before the accident. The phone rang and Julia jumped up before running to the door. "Sorry, I have to answer the telephone. Nice talking to you" And she was gone.

Over the next couple days, Vaughn and I talked quite a bit. He never mentioned "that" past problem, but he did inform me on what I had missed. We were 26 years of age, so catching up was the first thing that was on our minds.

Apparently he hadn't made very many friends since he left, but that hadn't bothered him at all. He had also found a good apartment in the city, as well as a good job. I informed him on my life, my sister's new boyfriend, my parents' divorce. "I don't really know if I want to leave" I had said, leaning against the side of the barn. "Everyone here is nice. Everyone in the city is really self-absorbed and its way too crowded"

Vaughn had looked at me, sympathy in his eyes. "Then don't leave" He'd pulled his hat down over his face "People seem to like you and I'd…miss you" Vaughn's face went a little pink.

I looked at him, lost for words but eventually shrugged it off and left. As I entered the shop, I saw a group of men dressed in black talking to Mirabelle. They turned around and immediately lunged for me, grabbing my arms. "Her she is. C'mon miss, we're leaving"

"Wait" Julia called from behind the counter. "What do you want with her?"

One man, obviously the guy in charge took out a wallet like thing and showed her a badge. "I'm Lieutenant Howard. I was hired by her sister to track her down and bring her home"

"But" I pulled out their embrace and backed up. "I don't want to go home!"

"Sorry miss, but there's no way you can get out of this" The men started towards me. I ran out the back door into the barn. Vaughn was still there, grooming the sheep. He watched me as I ran and jumped behind the hay bundle. "What.."

"Shhh" I whispered. The men came and started searching through the barn. "They want to take me back to the city, but I…" I looked to the ground "I don't want to go"

Vaughn stood up, hands shoved into his pockets. "Don't worry; I won't let them take you" He approached the Lieutenant and tapped him on the shoulder. "Is there something you need?"

Lieutenant Howards looked at him. "Yeah. Lieutenant Howard, city police. I'm looking for a girl. 26, hazelnut hair with dark brown and blonde highlights. Seen her?"

Vaughn crossed his arms and started glaring at the man. "No. If I had, it doesn't mean I'd let you take her"

"Look buddy. We're taking her, with or without "your approval" He glared back at Vaughn. But suddenly, a smile broke his lips. "Sabrina" He exclaimed, signalling to two of his workers "If you don't show your face. My buddies will beat up your friend"

Two men grabbed Vaughn from behind, and started punching him in all areas. His stomach, his face, even his legs. I saw the blood start to fall as Vaughn said "You can hit me all you want. But I'm still not going to you take her" That surprised me. Julia had always told me, always emphasized over the last couple days, that Vaughn was very anti-social and kept mostly to himself. So when I saw the pain he was going through, saw the blood that poured out, my stomach started to pain and my head spun. I knew what I had to do. "Stop" I stepped out from my hiding place. "If I go with you, will you promise to leave him alone?"

"Yes"

I looked down to the floor, trying to not meet Vaughn's gaze. "Then...take me back"

The lieutenant looked at me with his stern facial expression and signalled for his guys to let go of Vaughn. As he feels to the floor, the blood was still running down his face and I was surprised he wasn't unconscious yet. Vaughn got up and walked over to me, my eyes were still to the floor. Before he could say anything, two of the mean grabbed me and forced me to the door. But upon opening it up, a surprise stood there. A great crowd of people, arms crossed and eyes glaring at the men stood there, not moving. "Leave her" One person said. He moved away from the crowd and I recognized him as Denny, a fisherman I had talked to the day before.

The men froze, and realizing they were outnumbered, ran to the back of the barn and climbed up the hayloft. The Lieutenant did the same. "If you're going to make a big fuss, you can take her" He called from the hayloft.

I smiled, and looked back at Vaughn. He wasn't smiling, in fact his face was still in a frowning position. "Vaughn?" I didn't move.

He looked down, his hat covering his face. "You were going to leave..." He kneeled down, scratching the ground with his fingers.

"Because you were getting hurt" I watched him closely.

He didn't seem to notice. "It was my choice! You have no right interfering with my choices!"

I suddenly felt sad. He wanted me to stay? But he was mad at me for interfering with his choice, so does that mean he wanted me to go. "Fine" I turned my back to him again, by then the crowd had gone and the crowd had gone. "If you want me to go, then I will" I stormed out of the barn and towards the boat. I heard his footsteps echoing my own by I ignored them, only focusing on getting off the island. Before reached the boat I felt him grab me by the shoulder. "Don't leave!" He pleaded. "Please, Ever since Chelsea died I...I've been a mess. At first I thought it was because of her death, but then I realized it was because I was empty. I've missed you these last six years and I didn't realize it until..."

I had turned around to face, and I could see his eyes were in pain. There was coldness them, yet warmth as well. "You mean...?"

He pulled down his hat, hiding his now pink face. "I...I realized it after you were almost...gone from my life. I..I..love...you"

I went into shock. Was this the reason I wanted to stay? The person standing before me, was he the reason I didn't want to leave the island? The reason I had become a rich spoilt brat all those years ago after he left. For a minute I was confused, caught upon in my own feelings, then I realized I too loved him. Replying to his words, I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, forcing him into a hug. He was hesitant on what to do, but I felt his arms go around my waist as he returned the hug. We stood there for minutes before I pulled away, and looked into his beautiful purple eyes. Without realizing it, I stood inches closer towards him. Then I could feel his lips brush mine slowly as he kissed me deeply.

At first it was gentle and slow, but then as we kissed more and more it became hungrier, rougher. I could feel his tongue in my mouth, and I pulled him tighter to me. We fell to the ground although our kiss wasn't broken and we rolled around in the sand. He broke the kiss, and started to kiss my neck, my arms and stomach. I knew staying was a good idea, and maybe even one day marriage and a child would come into our future. Maybe, I could even call the old farm my own.
