----------------------------------------------------
It was dark in Flowerbud Village. A purple-haired ambiguous-looking man walked through the mountains. His face was adorned with soft features, in contrast, he had harsh-looking, unforgiving eyes that looked as blue as ice. He was wearing a hat that looked like it belonged in a western movie. He also had a poncho on which had various colors on it, all corresponding to a purple theme. To complete the look he had a reddish-purple scarf and black pants.
It was a cool night, as it was Fall in Flowerbud. The fallen red and orange leaves made a crunching sound when he stepped on them. The residents of the village were already in their cozy homes, probably around a warm, toasty fire. He was thinking about the village, but specifically, he was thinking about how many changes had happened during the last four years. A lot of people from the village had gotten married with one another, some of the couples were even expecting children soon. Another thing that had changed was the amount of people here. Saibara had moved in recently, along with Merryl, whom had come here less than a week ago and had already made friends with a lad named Tim. "She moved here too..." He mumbled, and that "she" he was talking about was a girl named Jill.
It was a spring day, and as usual, Jamie was at his farm, letting his animals graze
"H-Hello, Jamie" A shy voice called out. Jamie winced "That voice..." He mumbled. He slowly turned around, only to see that it was his rival, Jill, standing by the fence.
"What are you doing here?" Jamie asked coolly while folding his arms.
Jill just smiled "I-I wanted to see how-" "Get out..." She was cut off by Jamie
Jill looked disappointed "But, Jamie!-" "Get out!" Jamie shouted "Out, out, out!"
He looked furious, and he was stomping on the ground. Jill looked scared, and to not agitate him even more, she ran off the property.
"Hmph!" Jamie scowled "What does she think, going on my turf!"
"And she came back the very next day..." He mumbled with a smile "She never stopped trying to befriend me, even after I kept rejecting her so many times..." As he kept on walking, he kept on thinking about her...
It was the year after Jill came, summer actually. It was the Fireworks festival during the night. The fireworks were about to start, and, as always, Jamie was alone watching them At that moment, the fireworks started. And at the same time, Jamie started to doubt what he exactly felt about the little farmer girl.
"I don't even know why I come here, I never receive a note..." Jamie mumbled.
During the commotion of the festival, Jamie managed to hear somebody walking toward him. He quickly turned around in a swift move "Whad'dya want!?" He shouted at the person behind him. There stood a shocked Jill, surprised by Jamie's sudden reaction.
Jamie sighed "S-...Sorry" He mumbled while looking at the ground. Jill walked up to him.
"Jamie..." Jill started "C-Can I ask you something?" Jamie looked up and saw Jill with her hands behind her back, looking at the floor
"Yes?" He asked, seemingly annoyed by her presence.
"Will... do you wanna see the fireworks with me?" Jill asked.
Jamie looked into her big, brown eyes. There he saw fear, fear of being rejected.
"Jill..." Jamie mumbled "Rivals aren't supposed to be like this..."
"I-I know" Jill started "But let's just forget that we're rivals and enjoy the fireworks together... Please?"
Jamie sighed deeply "Fine..." He answered. Jill smiled and quickly walked to his right side
"Thank you" She said with a bow
"Yeah, yeah" Jamie said "But! Not a word of this to anybody, understand?" Jill nodded happily.
As he walked, he chuckled "I promised myself that I wouldn't like her more than a friend would. Heck! Not any more than a acquaintance" He mumbled "Guess I failed that on last year's Starry Night Festival..."
It was dark, it was dreary. But at the same time, there was a festive feel in the air. It was the Starry Night Festival. This year, Jamie didn't plan on going to the festival
"Why should I bother..." He mumbled as he sat by the dining table in his house "The Goddess is already saved... and nobody in their right mind would go with me..."
He got up from the table when he heard a knock on his door
"Ah! What do I care if I don't go!" He thought aloud
He opened the door and there she was, Jill
"Good Evening, Jamie" Jill greeted with a smile
His cheeks burned a light pink "Wha- What are you doing here?" Jamie mumbled. But it was loud enough so she could hear.
She looked at the floor, blushing as well "I came here to ask you if you want to see the fireworks with me..."
He looked surprised "Nobody wants to go with me... What makes you any different?" He asked harshly.
Jill was surprised by how he responded, but she kept on smiling "I-If you go with me, I'll tell you why..." She offered
Jamie scoffed "Fine!" He said, acting as if he was going reluctantly. But, he knew that deep down inside, he wanted to spend that special night with her.
Jill smiled, she then bowed "Thank you" She said shyly. She then turned around "Shall we go now?" She asked. She realized that Jamie was, as always, already ahead of her.
"Come on... the stars are only here for the night..." He called out...
