Hello again everyone :D This is my second CHAPTER story for the Viva Pinata section, and it fallows after my first story How To Raise A Dragonache. If you haven't read it, that's totally fine, but you will kinda miss some stuff and some of the references, so... Yeah... I guess go on ahead and read...


"Maddie, you really should see one about your obsession." Sahari said as the young builder scribbled in her journal. Maddie looked up, her blue eyes wide.

"I don't have an obsession!"

"Oh really?" Sahari asked, snatching the journal away. Maddie gasped.

"Hey! Give that back!"

"Don't have an obsession?" Sahari scoffed, holding up the journal. At the top of the page "Ways To Get Dastardos" was written in big cursive letters, with a long list below it. Maddie's face turned red.

"Th-Thaat doesn't prove anything!"

"Girl, your really obsessed."

"You wouldn't understand- He didn't choke you in public! What kind of man does that anyway?"

"I'm guessing him."

"... Shut up."

"Seriously, I would think that you have a cr-"

"AH DON'T FINISH THAT!"

"What? Do you-"

"No! That's freaking disgusting!" Maddie said, snatching her journal back out of Sahari's hands. She flipped through a few more pages.

"See? I have lists for other people too!" Sahari read the pages as Maddie flipped through him.

"That's like, everyone in the village!"

"Exactly!"

"That's it I'm calling you a therapist..."

"HA! The closest one lives on the other side of the island!"

"Yeah and I heard he's on vacation nearby!"

"... Dammit..." Maddie muttered. Sahari laughed, giving the girl a playful shove.

"Oh come on Maddie I'm only teasing! I'm just a little worried about you is all!"

"Why?"

"Because your going to get hurt."

"Psh, no I won't! I'm like, the most careful person I know!" Maddie said, taking a step forward, tripping over a rock and falling flat on her face. Sahari started to laugh.

"Yeah, your REAL careful."

"Shut up!" Maddie muttered, her face turning bright red.


Sahari was on her way home back to her garden, her arms full of bags. After her talk with Maddie, she had gone to Costalot's for some new supplies.

I could have gotten that new shovel head if it wasn't so freaking expensive! She thought to herself, groaning under her breath. Her bags covered her eyes, and she had trouble trying to look over them.

Why did she have to be so short?

"I swear, that wasn't me!" A small voice pleaded, catching Sahari's attention. Sahari placed her bags down and peeked over them, seeing a very aggravated Leafos and a very distraught Langston, sitting in the path before her. They didn't notice she was right there as they continued their argument.

"Don't deny it Langston! I told you to leave me alone!" Leafos said angrily, holding a slip of paper in her hand. Langston shook his head.

"Leafos, I didn't write it, I swear!"

"Your the only one who has been leaving me things on my windowsill every morning! First flowers, and now poems? Langston, you know this will never work!"

"Okay, I only left the flowers, but I never wrote you any love letters! I can't even write!"

"Well I can see that! I'm sorry Langston, but but this is getting really creepy." Leafos said, storming off after throwing the piece of paper on the ground.

"Leafos, come on! I swear it wasn't me!" Langston called out, his stubby arms dropping. Sahari walked over, her hands intertwined behind her back.

"Um, Hi Langston!" She said. Langston didn't look up from the ground.

"Oh, hi Sahari." He said sadly. Sahari sat on her knees next to him.

"What was all that about?" She asked. Langston finally looked up.

"Well, she got this random love letter this morning and she thinks it's from me!"

"... And?"

"Well, she didn't like it, and she was screaming at me!"

"I saw that. But why would she think it was from you?"

"Well, I might have left her flowers and stuff before..."

"Why?"

"Have you not seen her? She's so beautiful, and then way she cares for pinata's..." Langston cooed, going off into a swoon. Sahari felt a sick feeling in the pit of her stomache.

"Langston, as wrong as that is, why would she be so upset about a love letter? You didn't write it."

"That's the problem! She thinks it was me, and the way it was written was horrifying"

"... Can you even write?"

"No! Have you ever seen a Lickatoad write?"

"No..."

"Okay well there's your answer!" Langston said sadly, looking back at the ground in sadness again. Sahari sighed. Sure, it was REALLY weird that Langston, a pinata, was in love with Leafos, a human girl.Still, after watching the way Leafos scolded him, the desert girl couldn't help but feel really sorry for the little guy.

"Say, what did the letter say anyway?" Sahari asked out of curiosity. Langston hopped over, picking up the piece of paper that was on the ground. He held it out to Sahari.

"Here, I think it would be easier to explain if you read it..." He said. Sahari took the note from the talking pinata and started to read it.

Deer Leefass,

Yoo sew pwreetty! Me lik yoo lats! Yoo mak mi heed spen rond an rond! ME LUV YOO!

~ Seecrat luveer

Sahari looked at the note before breaking out into laughter.

"OH MY GOD THAT IS BAD! HE SPELLED HER NAME LEAF-ASS!" She laughed, grabbing her sides as they started to cramp up. Langston held back a laugh, trying to stay serious.

"See what I mean? I can't write, and even if I could, I would know how to spell someone's name, and use proper grammar!" Langston exclaimed. Sahari's back was on the ground, and tears were coming out of her eyes from laughing.

"OH MY G-GOD! HAHAHAHA!" She laughed, rolling on the ground a little. Langston pouted.

"It's not funny!"

"Uh, yeah, it kinda is!" Sahari argued, taking deep breaths to calm herself down. Langston hopped up and down in irritation.

"No no no! This is bad! Leafos is being stalked by some creep!"

"But you said you gave her stuff too, so that kinda makes you a stalker-"

"I'm not a stalker! I just happen to watch whatever she's doing for long periods of time without her knowing when I'm not busy with Pinata Central."

"... That's-"

"You have to help Sahari! I can't stand Leafos being angry with me!" Langston pleaded, cutting her off as his brown eyes widening in sadness. Sahari pursed her lips together, and after a while sighed.

"Oh fine I'll help clear your name with Leafos-"

"Oh thank you thank you THANK YOU! Your a life saver Sahari!"

"AFTER I show this to everyone!" Sahari exclaimed, racing back to town with the note. Langston's jaw dropped.

"NO! COME BACK HERE WITH THAT! SAHARI!" He screamed, hopping like a mad man after her, "AND YOU FORGOT YOUR SHOPPING BAGS! I bet those weren't cheap coming from Ms. Costalot!"
