A/N: I do not own Harvest Moon. Natsume owns that miracle game.
Gill managed to unlock the door to the cabin, pushed it open, and slammed it shut in the familiar blue-haired carpenter's face. Sitting on his bed, he ran his pale hands over his face. His father insisted that he and a few other of the younger island residents left the island to spend a season in the city.
The reasons were not something his father shared with him, but he had a faint idea it had something to do with the not-so-new-anymore rancher, Angela Hawthorne as well as her brother, Kevin Hawthorne, and cousins, Kasey and Molly Cortez. All the blonde man knew was that one day all four of them sat in his father's office discussing something with him, and the next half the island was shipped off on an "adventure."
To put it simply, Angela, Kasey, Anissa, Luke, Chase, Gill, Candice, Toby, Kathy, Chase, Pheobe, Julius, Luna, Calvin, Selena, Jin, Maya, Owen, Kevin, Molly, and Renee were put on Pascal's old ship and sent off to the mainland. Toby was given the opportunity to drive the boat to their destination-a first in a lifetime, knowing how much the boat meant to Pascal.
The door slammed open and a soaking, irritated Chase stormed in, followed by an equally wet, excited Luke. They informed Gill that there was a huge storm outside, and Toby decided it would be best if everybody went back to their cabins, and that it would be better for everyone if they all got some rest for the next day.
Laying down on his side, facing the wall, the flaxen-haired young man fell asleep. And in the days to come, he would wonder if everything would have been different if he hadn't. Perhaps everything would have made more sense in the beginning.
A/N: Well…that didn't turn out as good as I thought it would be. Hopefully, it will get better as I continue. If I continue. This was more of a practice chapter kind of thing. If I get enough views/reviews (hint, hint) I will continue. If/when I do, the rating may change. Just a fair warning.
