Chapter 2- This Disaster

I rushed to the summit upon knowing that I only had 3 more hours 'till Zack comes to ship the things.

As I continued to run, I met up with Dr. Trent. I saw him at the Flower Meadow looking for medicinal plants.

I just ran past him.

But, as I walked, I heard someone calling out, "Claire? Claire, is that you?".

"Huh? Oh! Hi Doctor Trent! I didn't know that you come here often." I replied.

"Heh-no, well, I only go here once in a while…" he said.

"Oh, so um- why did you call me?" I asked.

"Oh. I wanted to give you this." In front of my eyes, I saw him pull something out of his pocket. It was a rare piece of jewelry.

I asked myself, Doctor goes to the mine?

"Um, doctor," I said.

"Yes? What is it?" he asked.

"You go the mine?" I asked continuously.

He gave out a short laugh and replied,

"Usually, I try to keep my stamina in a high level and my fatigue in a low level. But, I sacrificed that for you. Well, that was pretty hard to find. More like of the chances are one out of a thousand. I've been looking for that since spring. But, I finally got to find it

and have the courage to give it to you. I take day offs more often. And I typically faint or whatnot. I just always remind myself to bring Bodigizer or Turbojolt (laugh) but, I try my best to look for it and give it to you because… I love you."

I was shocked for a few moments.

'He loves me?' I thought.

"Oh. I never realized your love to me… was so.."

I was interrupted from a voice behind shouting out,

"Doctor! Doctor! There's an emergency in the Clinic! It's Barney! He got injured by his animals! It's Bad! It's Bad! REAL Bad!"

I was surprised at who I've seen.

It was Elli, Dr. Trent's assistant in the Clinic in Mineral Town.

Well, I had to go back to work, realizing that the time that I have left is just a few more minutes.

I ran as fast as I could, collecting all that I need to ship. When I reached the mountain, I sat there for a few minutes. I was watching the beautiful sunset set down.

When I sat down, my rucksack suddenly slipped of my arms and went to the tip of the mountain leaving it somehow like a cliff.

I tried to grab it, but I was afraid of heights. I tried again, but then my rucksack slipped and fell unto a little tree with a short stem on the side of the mountain.

I went towards the edge gently trying to climb down the mountain.

I said to myself, 'It's too far. And I'm afraid of heights'.

I stepped down one-by-one gently towards each rock.

I finally came close to my rucksack, realizing that there had only been little time before evening.

I knew that Zack might have shipped the things already so I guess that there wouldn't be any value for the things in my rucksack.

My tools could be bought from Saibara, the blacksmith.

"I've spent almost 20, 000G for that rucksack. My two blue feathers are in there. Doctor

Trent gave me a set of jewelry that he searched for almost the whole year, and it's in my rucksack." I said to myself.

I told my mind again, and I realized how valuable my things in there are. But my life is more important, than those things.

I tried to reach for it, noticing my right foot slipped off from a small piece of rock, leaving my left foot and left hand on the surface.

I tried reaching for it again.

I suddenly slid from all the tiny rocks. I got surprised at that because I was standing on rock above 50ft. from the ground.

I was about to land, all scared and shivery. Below me was the ocean, which was left with some surfboarders. I landed.

I hit my head on a rock under the ocean, leaving me breathless. After that, I didn't remember a thing.
