Chapter 1: S.O.S Please Chase Help Me

It was a cold, spring night in Harmonica Town. Mayor Hamilton hobbled through the town whistling a tune, while he lit the streetlights. As he was lighting the last candle in front of the Brass Bar, hove sounds echoed close in the distance. Mayor Hamilton shifted his body toward the sound to see the town's young farmer speeding through the streets toward him on a horse. The clicking of hooves got louder, and Mayor Hamilton shut his eyes praying for safety.

"Woah, Skip," the girl shouted, pulling on the horses mane and digging her feet into its side.

The horse whined, but stopped a few feet from Hamilton, who breathed a sigh of relief. The girl climbed off the horse with ease and walked cheerful over to the Mayor.

"Good evening Mayor Hamilton. Sorry to scare you like that," the girl scratched the back of her long, brown hair and smiled brightly, "I am in a hurry today."

"I see that Akari," the mayor let out a light laugh, but you could still hear the shock in his voice, "just be careful at night with Skip."

"I will, by the way is your son at the bar tonight? I need to talk to him about...uh...business."

"Yes he is, but you can tell me the business if you want?"

Akari's face turned a light shade of pink and she began fiddling with her oversized green t-shirt.

"No...it is better if I tell Gill. So see you later then. Bye."

Akari waved quickly, running off to the bar door leaving Skip and the Mayor behind.

"It's because I am getting old isn't it," the Mayor frowned, looking over at Skip.

Skip only stared letting out a whine of confusion.

Inside the Brass Bar tables were crowded with villagers, causing the twenty-year-old waitress Kathy to scurry her thin, shapely body through the bar at lightening speed. In the back left was the famous Toucan Island dancer Selena distracted most of the customers from the wait of food and drinks. In the back right was the open kitchen where Kathy's father poured drinks, and the cook, Chase worked.

Akari took in the over populated atmosphere, and looked around for Gill's light blond hair. Luckily he was close by at a table with Jin and Craig.

Ok Akari, stay calm. Just walk up to him and say how you feel.

Akari slowly moved across the wooden floor, squeezing her hands together tightly. Gill took notice of her walking toward him, and watched her. Akari could feel her face heat up, but ignored the feeling.

"Hello boys. I was wondering if I could talk to Gill for a second," Akari said, feeling nervous at how Gill stared at her.

"Sure," Craig and Jin agreed, continuing the conversation they were having before.

Gill stood up and followed Akari to a corner of the bar, where a certain chef was eavesdropping on the situation.

"What is it." Gill said.

"I wanted to tell you something I have been waiting to say for months," Akari said, looking him in the eyes.

Gill stayed silent waiting for her to continue, causing Akari's nerves to bounce off the walls.

"That...I uhm...have...always liked you...your hair cut," Akari stuttered out, blushing madly at what she said.

Crap, I messed up!

"Thank you I think," Gill said confused.

"Hahaha, yup. That is all I wanted to say, so see you later Gill."

"OK, bye Akari."

Gill waved and went back to sit with Jin and Craig. Akari on the other hand wanted to kill herself at the moment.

Here was my perfect chance and I killed it, stupid, stupid, stupid!

"I like your hair cut too A..ki..ra," a voice whispered in her ear.

Akari jumped at the close contact, and turned to see Chase, the sadist chef behind her smirking.

"What do you want," Akari hissed, obviously annoyed he had been listening to the conversation.

"Nothing, but curious to see if that was a love confession I almost heard," Chase commented fixing a hair pin onto his teal apron.

"Ha yeah a love confession...for his hair," Akari sighed, putting a hand on her head in dissappointment.

"That was pretty lame."

"How would you know? You haven't dated anyone either, or did you finally agree to being Maya's boyfriend?"

Chase cringed at hearing Maya's name. That girl never stopped following him no matter where he went. Everytime she caught up to him he was forced into eatting her food from hell or confessed too.

"I probably have better dating skills than you, farm girl," Chase smiled at her shocked face.

"Farm girl! Fine then help me out if you are so amazing at this," Akari glared, not noticing what she said because of the sudden insult she got.

"If you insist. I beat I could get him to fall in love with you, and have him ask you out instead."

"Deal!"

"Good. Meet me here tomorrow, but at four. It is less crowded then. Anyway I have to go back to work."

"Fine see you tomorrow," Akari huffed, while leaving the bar.

Ugh, what did I do?

Tada! Please review. I will be updating every Tuesday by the way. Thank you for reading, Ciao!
