Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARVEST MOON!!

After finishing my chores I left to the bar to meet Lumina. I was a little late, well if you call 5:30 a little late. Running was a good option, but it was too hot and I didn't want to get all sweaty and stinky.

At the bar, everyone seemed to be talking. They all stopped and looked at me. Lumina smiled and motioned me to go over there. "I thought you weren't coming. Why did you come so late?" "S-sorry lost track of time. Ha-ha." I gave them a sheepishly small smile and they laughed. Muffy stopped and came to me. "Anyways, got any plans for your birthday?"

"Well, Lumina said we were going to have a party at her place tomorrow and then a little slumber party." Muffy gave it a little thought and nodded afterwards. Celia took off her bandana and started fixing her brown straight hair. I wish I had hair like that, but blond curly hair is ok…..I guess.

I got snapped out of my thought as Celia began talking. "So, what time is it and what should we wear?" "No one is going to be there but us, so wear what you please. The time is 11:00p.m. Talking about time, what time is it?"

Nami laughed and looked at her watched. It was an expensive one with flowers that Gustafa gave her. How? I do not know. "It is exactly 7:00." "What?! I need to go. See you tomorrow!" they all said goodbye I left home.

At home I jumped on my bed to go to sleep excited about tomorrow.

My sleep was interrupted by the phone. 'Who calls at 5:40 in the morning' I thought. I got out my bed with a huge headache and went to pick up the phone. "Hello? Who the hell is this?" "Christina? You do know that's not the way to talk to your sister?" I was shocked. It was my sister Claire. I haven't seen her since mom died because she went to live in a farm in Mineral Town.

"Claire! OMG I haven't heard of you in a while! But why are you calling?" "What a sister can't call to say Happy Birthday? What kind of world is this?!" I had to laugh. Claire was always the dumbfounded one in the family.

"What's so funny? I see you've been doing well after mom and dad's death." Oh no! Why did she have to bring them up. I looked down to the necklace my mom gave me. It smelled like her and was in good condition. I opened it and there was a picture of us. My dad and mom were hugging, while I was laughing in their laps. A tear came down and I couldn't stop it. "I love you" I whispered and began crying. "Hello! Christina who are you talking to?" I snapped back to reality as soon as I heard her. "Huh? O-oh I'm not talking t-to anyone. L-listen I'll talk to y-you later ok." There was an awkward silence. She said ok bye and hung up. Stupid Claire making me cry on my birthday. "At least my headache is gone." With that I left to the bathroom.

When I finished watering my crops, I went to my animals. All I had at the moment were two cows. One was a girl named Crystal. The other one was a boy named Thomas. They were both named after my parents so I took care of them everyday. While I was feeding them, Takakura came in the barn. "Hello Christina. Happy Birthday."

"Oh good morning and thanks." He was smiling like always. "How about I finish up and you go do what you want!" "Ok thanks." I went to my mailbox and noticed cards there. "Junk, junk, coupon, junk. Hey what's this?" There was a red piece of paper that said:

Dear resident,

We want to inform you that a criminal is on the loose. His description is not yet verified. If you see him, please call 1-800-criminal.

Sincerely,

Harris, Mineral Town Cop

I snorted. "Criminal huh. What kind of criminal would come here?" I realized it was 9:30p.m. "What! Time goes by fast. I need to go!" So I left to Lumina's. Once I was at the top I heard a scream. It was one of those 'Ahhhhhhh somebody help me' screams so I ran up there. I ended up bumping into something or someone might I add. "Hehe. Hello beautiful. Walking alone at night I see?" There was only a guy… wait girl with silver hair that shines in the moon. She was wearing a leopard printed shirt with purple pants and matching shoes. She looked pretty.

"All I see is a girl who is in my way!" She chuckled at my words. "What's so funny?" "I am not a girl, but a guy. I'm quite the ladies' man and a prince of the stars." He was smiling so flirtatiously. It was unexpected, but I had to laugh. I was literally crying. I guess I have to take that 'pretty' back. "Sorry, you're sooo cocky and I thought you were a girl. Anyway who are..." Out of nowhere Lumina came barging out the door. "Thief ! You stole my friend's birthday present!"

Wait a minute a thief? And he stole my birthday present? Oh goddess, my days as a saint are over. I stared at him while he smiled. "Sorry, but I'm a bit pressed for time. I'm about to jet out." He started to walk away. "Call me Phantom Skye. I have a feeling we'll meet again. It's in the stars." Lumina jumped in the conversation. "Wait right there." "Hehe. Hold up, beautiful. Don't let such raw anger steal away your beauty."

Ok you've got to be kidding me she will never fall for that. "Oh……Phantom Skye." Never mind, I stand corrected. He tries to leave again, but I block him before he can.

"Oh hell no pretty boy. There is no fucking way you're leaving with my birthday present" I was so mad. My face was red. C'mon its my birthday. "Don't get angry. Anger does not look right on a beautiful maiden's face." "Your cockiness won't get to me so don't even try!" He looked behind me like something was there. "But I think your friend has fainted." Like the idiot I am I looked behind. "But she's fine." I turned and he was gone.

I went to Lumina who was crying. Her eyes were red and puffy. "C-Christina I'm s-sorry h-he took your p-present." I felt bad so I comforted her. "Mina its ok how about we leave the party until tomorrow?" She looked up wiping her tears. "O-ok see you t-tomorrow" After that she turned around and went inside.

Pissed off I left home. "Stupid thief ruined my fucking birthday!" As I was close to the Goddess Pond I heard a voice. "Hey beautiful where are you heading?" I turn around to see no other than Phantom Skye. He looked cute in the moon light….wait what? "Why do you care? You ruined my birthday. I suppose you're that criminal who's on the loose huh." He gave me a huge grin and stood up brushing dirt off of himself. "I didn't ruin your birthday, I was doing my hobby and maybe I am or maybe I'm not." Oh I wanted to slap that stupid smirk off his face. "You know what I'm leaving."

"Wait, I never got your name." I turned to look at him and held out my hand. "Christina, my name is Christina Cruz." "A beautiful name for a beautiful maiden. Oh I want to give you something." I gave him a puzzled look and he just smiled. He held out a pink box with gold around it. When it opened, it showed a sterling silver charm bracelet. It looked very expensive.

"Hold out your hand. I don't do this very often. This is what I stole from Lumina." I held out my hand and he put the bracelet on. It shined in the moonlight making it more beautiful. "Why are you giving it to me?" "When you catch me I'll tell you." For some reason I didn't understand. "Hey, it matches your locket." That made me smile. "Yeah I guess it does." A comfortable silence fell until Skye broke it. "Well…I have to go see you soon." He took my hand and kissed it gently. His lips tickled me and I giggled. Then I felt my cheeks get warm. I was blushing. "Happy Birthday" Ok now I was blushing even more. I don't know why, but I couldn't help it. Once he left, I headed back home.

Inside, I brush my teeth and changed into my pajamas with the puppies on them. I lay on my bed and looked at the ceiling. I smiled as I remembered something before I fell asleep.

"We did meet again. Maybe it was in the stars."
