Chapter 1 Surprises of Life
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Harvest Moon, its characters or any of its locations.
"Just hang on for a second" I said rushing to the front door of my master's mansion.
I opened the door to see a common young man in farm clothing.
"What are you doing here, this is no place for someone like you" I questioned.
"Marvin, it's me Kasey" the young man said.
"Master Kasey...what are you doing here, your father instructed you not to come back" I asked hugging the son of my master.
"I know...I need to talk to my sister. I need to ask her for help" I said.
"What can Miss Kayla possibly know about farming" Marvin asked.
"It doesn't matter...I still can ask her, please Marvin let me come in" I begged.
"Fine...but this is going to be a family visit" Marvin instructed letting me inside the house I grew up in.
He lead me into the living room and left me to go get my sister.
I walked up the stairs to Miss Kayla's room and knocked.
"Come in" she said.
I walked in to see Miss Kayla in a beautiful light blue dress with trims of light pink.
"Miss Kayla, you have a visitor downstairs in the living room" Marvin stated.
"Thank you Marvin, I hope this dress looks ok for later" I said walking out of my room and down the steps to the living room.
I turned around when I heard the living room door open to reveal a beautiful girl with reddish brown hair in a light blue and pink dress.
"Kayla...is that you" I asked.
"Yeah...Kasey your back" she cried running into my embrace.
"Yeah well...I just came here to ask a favor of you" I said guiltily.
"Oh...um what did you want to ask me" she said stepping back out of our hug.
"Um...well I...I need your help" I said.
"What do you need my help with...you know I'll help anyway I can" she smiled.
"I've been living on Castanet Island as a farmer for the last two and a half years. I've made a lot of friends on Castanet and made a lot of money to upgrade my farm, but...I've failed my mission" I said.
"It's ok everyone fails once in awhile, Kasey. You just need to try again" she said.
"That's where you're wrong, Kayla. I've failed the Harvest Goddess and the whole island will die...I can't save it. The islanders are mad with me...they believed that I could revive the island, but I couldn't so they decided to kick me off..." I trailed off.
"Kasey, it's ok you can stay here with me...like old times" she smiled.
"I...I can't" I yelled.
"Why not" she asked with shock.
"I'm sorry, but I can't, the islanders are trying to find someone else to take over the farm, but I asked them if I could ask a friend of mine to take care of it for me and they gave me a week to find someone to replace me..."
"So...you want me to take care of your farm for you" I stated softly thinking the idea over.
I nodded, "Yes, I want you to succeed where I failed...so will you please do it for me, I won't ever ask another favor from you ever again"
"Kasey, you don't have to beg me to do it. I don't mind that you ask me a favor, you can ask as many favors as you want as long as you promise me you'll do the same for me if I need to ask you a favor" she instructed.
"You know I will do anything for you, Kayla" I said giving her the puppy dog eyes.
"You always give me that look to change my mind, but there is no need to do that Kasey, I'll do it" she smiled.
"Thankyouthankyou" I said giving her a hug, but didn't get a chance to before getting interrupted.
"That isn't your decision, Kayla" our father said coming inside the room with our mother and our step parents.
"Kayla, you don't know one thing about farming. You were born to be married off to a wealthy family like Derrick's" our step mother said.
"It is my decision, Kasey didn't know anything about farming and he learned how and plus I can learn faster than him, I've always had" I said.
"I'm pretty sure the islanders wouldn't like a skinny little girl like you to work on a farm that has already failed once" our step father smirked.
"Your wrong, I can do it" I yelled.
"I'm sorry Kayla, but they're right the islanders won't believe that you are capable of running a farm..." Kasey said.
"What can I do then" I asked.
"I have a plan...you can dress like a guy and run the farm, when you succeed and finish the mission you can come home, it's a simple plan" he said.
"There is no way in HELL am I letting MY daughter dress as a MAN to run a farm that YOU let FAILED" our father yelled.
"I'll do it Kasey, but I have a concert tonight...can you come with me so you can start teaching me about farming...I'll give you a backstage pass" I smiled.
"Ok" Kasey said excitedly.
"I can't believe you want to dress as a man to help your brother, but if that is want YOU want then so be it" our father said.
"Thank you father" I said bowing before heading out of the house with Kasey to the waiting limo to take us to my concert.
"Mr. Blythe, you sure this is a good idea for Kayla" our step father said.
"Mr. Wilson, I truly don't know, but I won't stop her from doing what she believes as the right thing to do. I have a feeling that she will regret doing this, though" Mr. Blythe said.
Gill's POV
"Hey Gilly, will you have lunch with me" Luna begged like a five year old.
"No Luna, I have work to do" I said going back to the stack of papers I was working on before she came into the town hall to bother me.
"Gilly, your coming with me, NOW" she said dragging me out of the town hall and to the Brass Bar where everyone about our age hang out at.
Luna dragged me inside to a table full of her friends who stared at us when we came inside.
"So she literally dragged you over here to hang out with us" Chase asked me.
"Yeah..." I sighed sitting down next to him when everyone started to break out laughing.
"Anyway, where are we going to go for fun this time and not to the beach for fishing again Toby, that was disgusting" Luna asked with a frown.
"How about we go see a scary movie" Owen suggested.
"Naw, I don't like scary movies, how about a romantic comedy" Selena stated.
"How about..." everyone said at the same time, but then no one could hear each over all the yelling about what genre we should go see.
"How about we do something else and not shopping because we're not going to carry all of your shopping bags again" I suggested, while all of the guys agreed with me except for Julius.
"How about we go see the Wish and Little Pri concert in the city" Kathy suggested.
"Yeah, Wish is AMAZING AND SUPER HOT" all of the girls squealed with Julius too"
All of the guys stared at each other at how high their voices squeaked, especially Julius's.
"Wait...did you say Little Pri too" Owen asked.
They kept on squealing, "Yeah...I think so" Calvin said.
"Yeah, Wish and Little Pri are really good friends, they've always had concerts together whenever they get a chance to" Maya squeaked.
"I'm fine with going" Chase said with the rest of the guys nodding in agreement except for me.
"Fine, let's go" I said heading out to the boat with everyone else following, talking a lot about the concert as we were sailing to the city.
A few hours later...
We arrived to the city an hour before the concert is suppose to start, so we headed straight to the concert building.
"Wow, there's a lot of paparazzi waiting for Wish and Little Pri to arrive" Chase commented.
"Let's get in line for tickets" Jin suggested.
"There's no need we already have the tickets" Anissa said.
"WHAT, when did you guys get the tickets" all of the guys blurted out.
"When you guys were standing there talking about the paparazzi" Renee stated while Kathy was waving the tickets like a fan in our faces.
"Here..." Kathy said giving each of us a ticket before we stepped in the line waiting to go inside.
Kayla's POV
"So to plant crops I have to get rid of the weeds, plow the field for how many crops I want to plant, then plant the crops and water them" I stated memorizing the procedure.
"Yep that's about it on farming, now how about the animals" Kasey said.
"You either pick them up or pet them when you talk to them, grab some food for them and give it to them, and then you brush, shear, or milk if you can. Then you can use a maker machine to process your goods and then you ship them" I recited.
"Good, that's about it for running a farm" Kasey said.
"Here's your backstage pass oh, and make sure you come see me afterwards, ok" I instructed.
"Ok I will" Kasey said.
"Miss Kayla, we're here and Mr. Chris is in front of us" the chauffeur stated.
"Thank you...Kasey are you ready to make some big headlines, tonight" I smiled.
"Yeah I guess...wait are you going to wear that short dress in public" Kasey said starting to freak out.
"Kasey, it's not that short it's just above knee length" I giggled as he sighed in relief.
Chris got out of his limousine and waved at the excited crowd before stepping towards our limousine to help me get out.
Before Chris could get close enough to open the door Kasey stepped out to the crowds surprise.
"Kasey...what are you doing here" Chris asked.
"I'm singing tonight" Kasey smirked at Chris's shocked expression.
"He's just visiting" I giggled while stepping out of the limousine with Kasey's help.
"Ok...well it's good to see you two together again" Chris said while Kasey held my hand with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Ah Chris, are you jealous" Kasey smirked.
"I am not" Chris said with conviction.
"Stop it you two, remember we're in public in front of all kinds of cameras, and remember we don't need to be making a big scene" I instructed.
"Fine..." they both said.
"Ok then let's go" I instructed, plastering a prize winning smile on my face before walking with them into the wave of flashes and cheers from the waiting crowd.
The three of us posed for pictures and Chris and I signed autographs as we went.
We got about halfway when one of our bodyguards instructed us that it was time to head on inside.
We went inside to the backstage for the final preparations for the concert.
Gill's POV
"Wow, it's really Wish and Little Pri" everyone yelled excitedly except for me who had a small smile to show that I was excited.
They walked towards the door stopping every now and again coming closer to us.
"Hey is that Kasey with Wish and Little Pri" Luke called out.
"Yeah...I think so..." Toby stated.
"What the hell is he doing here" I growled.
"Calm down my little Gilly" Luna said grabbing my arm.
"That loser shouldn't be with Little Pri" I said pulling my arm away from her.
"Wish...will you be the father of my child" all of the girls yelled when Wish and Little Pri reached us halfway down from the door.
"Did they scream what I think they did" I asked Chase who nodded.
Kayla's POV
"They really want to have sex with you, that is hilarious" Kasey said making Chris mad.
"At least I'm not some dirty farmer, like you" Chris pointed out, both of them sizing up the other for a fight.
"Break it up you two, we have all kinds of people here to see the concert not a fight. Kasey, I asked you to come, don't make me regret my decision about any of this" I instructed which made them stop right away.
We made it about halfway when I noticed a group of people trying to calm down this one blond guy with ocean blue eyes, who was staring daggers into Kasey.
"What did you do to piss that guy off..." Chris asked Kasey.
"Jealous that I'm with Kayla" Kasey stated before one of our bodyguards told us to go inside.
We waved one more time at the crowd before heading inside. Kasey smirked at the blond before holding my hand and pulling me to his side which made the guy even more pissed off.
Since, Kasey pulled me to his side everyone gasped in shock while all of the girls smirked and the guys sighed with hopelessness thinking that we are dating.
We got inside when I asked, "Why the hell did you do that for, now everyone will think we're dating"
"Sorry, I didn't think about the paparazzi, I just wanted to piss that guy off because it's fun when he's mad" Kasey stated.
"So how do you know that guy" I asked.
"Those group of eight girls and eight guys are...well were my friends from Castanet" Kasey said.
"Well, we better get backstage to get ready to get up on stage" Chris said dragging me backstage.
I wonder if I'll like Castanet and I hope I'll be able to become friends with that blond and the rest of those people.
