A.N: Sorry for the inconvenience. I had posted an Author's note that explained why I have been gone. I was informed that I should not have that author's note up there and instead explain it in the next chapter. Some very serious family problems came up so I had been unable to finish chapter 2 until now.
I had no ill intent with the previous author's note. I honestly was just trying to inform anyone who may have read chapter 1 that I still planned on continuing the story. I have read my fair share of stories that stop randomly after a chapter with no explanation for why it is done and never got continued. I was just trying to let people know that that wasn't the case and that I will keep working on the story.
Again I'm sorry for being gone for so long and if my previous chapter frustrated any of you. I didn't know until I was informed that it puts stories up at the top of the list leading readers to think it has 2 chapters instead of 1 and an authors note. I am still learning and will not make mistakes like that in the future.
I was planning on getting several chapters finished before posting again so if anything were to come up I could still upload like usual. But to be perfectly honest I felt bad knowing some readers were disappointed by the Author's note thinking it was a new chapter so here is chapter 2 early. I will try and finish chapter 3 as soon as I can.
Again I am truly sorry and thank you for reading.
Please enjoy chapter 2.

Chapter 2: I Have To Do WHAT?!

"Come on Finn! This isn't funny!" I yell shaking my little harvest sprite comerade. My heart is pounding. "Oh goddess! What have I done? What will the goddess do when she finds...out..." I feel Finn shaking in my hands. Suddenly he bursts out in laughter.
"I can't believe-hehe- You fell for that!" I feel heat rising to my cheeks as I look down at Finn in front of me.
"W-well I only fell for it because your such a baby all the time!" I snap causing Finn's laughter to come to a hault.
He flies up and glares at me, "What did you call me?"
"Did I stutter?"
"Oh! So I'm the baby now?!"
"You always cry and whine about the goddess! Just give me a break already!
"Well SORRY for being worried about the world dying!"
"Ahem!" We freeze. I turn around and see a rather plump gray-haired older man who wears an awkward smile on his face standing behind me, next to him is a younger blonde man who has a scowl on his face. I quickly stand up and brush the dirt off my clothes, my eyes falling to the ground as I do. My cheeks are burning as I look at the two men in front of me. The young man looks me over, and he smirks before turning his attention to the older man.
"You are Angela correct?" I nod, my eyes meeting his sky blue ones. "Are you...alright? You seemed pretty upset when we walked up," he starts and looks behind me, "it almost sounded like you were arguing with someone."
"Oh! That was just me uh-going over the lines in a play I did a few weeks ago!" I lie, my heart pounding. The man's eyes light up and his smile becomes more genuine. Just as he is about to open his mouth to speak-
My eyes fall on the younger man, "What play was it?" his icy eyes bore into mine, and I feel my heart skip a beat.
"It was...uh...I don't recall the na-"
"Gilligan! Don't be so rude to the poor girl!" The older man frowns at the young one who seems unfazed. "My name is Hamilton, and this impolite hooligan is my son, Gillian." I look from Hamilton to his son and back again. "We are here to welcome you to the town and give you a tour...well he is here to give you a tour." Hamilton gestures to his son who seems to hate the idea as much as I do.
"Father I have somewhere to be in a little over 2 hours. Do I have to show this girl around town?" Gill scowls gesturing towards me. I frown at him, and then shake my head sighing in defeat.
"I am very grateful to you for allowing me to purchase this farm and join your community." I smile at Hamilton, "You don't need to do anything more than what you already have. I don't need a tour guide, I am a very capable woman and can find my way around." Hamilton looks hesitant then nods.
"If that is what you truly want Angela," I nod and he returns my smile.
"Now excuse me, but I really should be going! I need to explore the town before dark," I hurry past the two men and look over my shoulder to see them whispering to eachother as I make my way down the hill. I feel sweat drip down the side of my head. "They think I'm crazy now." I look at Finn who is flying beside me. "So much for the not insane plan, huh?" We make our way in the direction that Cain left a few minutes ago.

30 Minutes Later

"My feet are sore," I sigh as I stop and look around myself. "Wait! Haven't I been here already?" I instantly recognize the tree I saw a few minutes prior. I go over to the tree and slump down next to it. "I can't believe I managed to get lost on my first day here." I frown, hugging my knees to my chest. "'I don't need a tour' I said. 'I am a capable woman' I said." I rest my head on my knees and sigh in defeat.
"That didn't take very long." I tense and slowly raise my head. "How did you manage to get lost? It's a straight path from your farm to the other part of town." Gill sneers, and I feel an angry blush spread across my cheeks.
"Well excuse me for not wanting to impose on your OBVIOUSLY very important schedule!" He glares daggers at me with his icy blue eyes.
"If you weren't so incompetent and stubborn we could have had the ridiculous tour done by now!" He snaps, and I feel my blood boil.
"Stubborn?!" I stand up and walk over to him, "I'm the stubborn one? You made it completely obvious you didn't want to do the tour in the first place! You even argued with your father about it!" My hands are clenched into fist at my side. "I don't understand what I could have possibly done to you in the first 5 minutes of meeting each other to make you already hate me." I sigh and look away from him.
"I hate stupid people. Its only natural that I would dislike you." Ow. That hurt. "Just come with me and we will go back to your farm," Gill turns from me, "I will ask Luke to give you a tour tomorrow." He starts walking away and I stare as he walks away from me. "Come on, don't waste anymore of my time." He growls and I reluctantly follow him as he takes me back to my farm.

5 Minutes later

I walk into my house and carefully close the door behind me. I walk over to the bed and plop down on it. Dust flies into the air, I cough as I wave it out of my face. Jeez I knew this place was worn and old, but didn't know it was THIS old. I slowly lay on the bed. My feet are sore, but not as sore as my pride. He completely made a fool of me today. He called me stupid and stubborn! He has to be the most impolite, inconsiderate, impossibly ridiculously person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting in my entire life. I turn and face the wall next to me. The wallpaper is worn and is peeling away in a few places. This place is definitely going to need some serious remodeling. With that thought in mind I gradually fall into a well deserved slumber.

I wake up to someone banging on my front door. "I'm coming!" I exclaim, as I hurry out of bed and stumble to the door. I open the door, "Hello you must be Lu-" I stop and sigh in annoyance. "Hello Gill. What do I own the pleasure of being graced with you marvelous company?" I sneer, and see a bead of sweat trickled down his cheek.
"The bridge that connects us to Garmon Mine is damaged and unable to be crossed." I raise an eyebrow and gesture for him to continue. "This means...unfortunately that I am the only one capable of giving you the tour." He mutters, and I run my fingers through my hair with a sigh.
"Looks like we have a long day ahead of us, huh?" I frown and step out of the house, closing the door behind me. "Lets get this over with."

5 Minutes Later

The salty smell of the ocean fills my nostrils as we make out way towards Waffle town. We walk into the town and it feels so much like home already. My heart swells as I look at the beautiful town around me. We walk down a few stairs past what looks like a boutique.
"Who lives there? Shouldn't I meet them?" I ask and Gill pauses, looks at the building and shakes his head.
"N-No. You can go there on your own time and meet them. I don't have enough time to bother dealing with...her." I frown, but don't even try to persuade him as he seems so uneasy about whoever lives there. We continue down the path and I see a blonde woman with a ponytail standing outside. She waves as we approach and I smile.
"Hello, you must me the new farmer I heard about! I'm Kathy and I work here," She gestures to the building to our right, "this is the Brass bar. My father, Hayden is in charge of it."
"My name is Angela. It's a pleasure to meet yo-"
"Times up! We need to go greet other villagers!" Gill grabs me by the wrist pulling me away from Kathy and up some stairs. I yang my wrist away from him and glare at the back of his stupid blonde head. "This is the inn," Gill mutters as we walk past it.
"Wait, shouldn't I meet the people inside of it?" I demand, stopping in my tracks. I see Gill tense, spin around and face me with a scowl.
"Must you waste so much of my time?" He growls at me. Without a word I open the door to the inn and walk inside. The first thing I see if a very energetic blonde waitress running up to me.
She grabs my hands in hers and grins widely at me, "My name is Maya and your Angela. Oh wait you already know that! Duh! It's your own name of course you know it! Listen I know we just met, but I would love for us to be friends! Maybe even best friends! Or BFFs!" She jumps up and down, excitement radiating off of her.
"I would love to be friends with you Maya," I smile at her and she squeals.
"Did you hear that Yolanda? I have a new friend!" Maya spins around and exclaims loudly. A old woman with pinkish gray hair looks at us and smiles.
"That's good, now get back to work." She chuckles, "Do you expect Chase to teach himself?" Maya's face glows with happiness and her cheeks turn a bright pink.
"I gotta go Angela! It was awesome to meet you!" She runs over to Yolanda and the strawberry blonde who I presume to be Chase. I head outside and notice Gill is nowhere to be seen.
I sigh, "Great. Now I have to try and find my way around this town alone." I mean I can't really blame him for leaving me alone. Yes, he was being a dick. But I being any better. I continue down the path east of the inn and see a blue building at the end of it. I head over too it only to find its locked. I'll just have to come back another time I guess. I look around wondering where to go next, then remember that me and Gill passed by a building before going to the Brass Bar. "Hmm...He seemed pretty uneasy around that building. I wonder who lives there." I think aloud as I make my way to said building. I open the door and gasp in awe at all the beautiful clothing withing the little store. I walk over to a rack of clothes and see a straw hat with a blue ribbon around it. This is so cute. I smile as I look at more clothing on the racks.
"No touching the merchandise." Someone says behind me causing me to jump, nearly dropping the dress in my hands. I turn around to see a annoyed looking girl with pink pigtails. She is a shorter than me and has her arms on her hips as she looks up at me. She looks pretty young to be in a store alone, maybe she is the younger sister of the owner or something? I wonder as I look down at the very fashionable girl in front of me.
"I'm sorry. I just thought it was so cute and couldn't help myself." I admit, smiling nervously as she looks me over with her piercing blue eyes. "So cute..." I mutter as I reach out and pat her head without thinking. She instantly tenses and her cheeks flush a bright red. "You probably shouldn't be here alone right? Where is the owner? Are you her sister or daughter maybe?"
The girl slaps my hand away and glares deeply at me, "Do you think I'm a child?!" I feel sweat trickle down the side of my head. "I am 18, thank you very much!" She yells, her hands balled into fists at her sides.
"I am so so so SO sorry!" I apologize bowing my head down, "I just thought because your so short- I-I mean!" Oh Goddess I need to shut up!
"How dare you come in here rubbing your filthy hands all over our clothes and then insult me multiple times!" She yells and I look away from her insense gaze.
"Luna? Whats going on?" A elderly woman walks asks as she enters the boutique.
"This girl!" Luna snaps pointing accusingly at me. The elderly woman turns her gaze to me, then returns it to Luna.
"Luna, how could you be so rude to a customer? And a new resident at that!" Luna's cheek turn even redder and she growls in annoyance.
"Whatever! I'm going to Kathy's house!" She snaps at the woman and turns her gaze to me, "I won't forget this," then she storms away slamming the door behind her.
"I am so sorr-"
"You must be Angela, correct?" I nod and she smiles apologetically at me. "I am sorry for how Luna behaved just now. She may be 18, but she still has alot more maturing to do." I rub my hand through my hair and chuckle awkwardly.
"To be honest I was the one at fault, not her."
"That's alright, she doesn't stay mad for long especially since its over now. My name is Shelly, and that girl, Luna, is my granddaughter." She smiles as she makes her away past me and to the register at the end of the room. "We were told there would be a new resident to town, but I didn't realize you would be arriving so soon."
"Yea, that's what everyone has been saying." I return her smile, then make my way towards the door. "It was a pleasure to meet you and...um...tell Luna I am truly sorry for insulting her." Shelly nods and waves to me as I leave the boutique.

Much Later

The sun is setting as I make my way back to my farm. This town is so big, much bigger than I had thought it would be. It took me almost all day to meet anyone; although, that could have been because I got lost more times than I can count. I had went all around Waffle town and met Cain's family and the farmers that live near them. I also attempted to go to the goddess only to be met by a very hungry and bored blond named Bo who has left his toolbox with the Mayor. Needless to say it was a long and exhausting day with a lot of running around. Luckily tomorrow I can go meet the goddess since Bo said he will have the broken bridge fixed by then. I walk to my broken down house and open the door.
"Why were you gone so long? Did you meet everyone?! When will we be able to go to the goddess?! Why did you leave me here?" Finn bombards me will all his questions as I kick my shoes off and flop down onto my bed.
"A lot of walking. Yes. Tomorrow. You would have been bored." I answered and see him smile happily.
"I will be sure to wake you up really early so we have plenty of time to meet and talk to the goddess!" I sigh and roll onto my side.
"Yea that sounds good..." And with that I drift off into a well deserved sleep.

"ANGELA! WAKE UP!" Finn yells as he tackles me, barely moving me an inch with his tiny body. I grumble and swat him away with my hand. "Fine! If you won't wake up then you leave me no choice but to do this!" A sharp pain shoots through my hand and it doesn't take me long to realize that Finn is biting me.
"Ow ow ow ow!" I yell, waving my hand wildly trying to get the little fairy to let go. "I'm up! I'm up! Let go!" He lets go after I am stood up. "You're such a little jerk! You didn't have to bite me!"
Finn crosses his arms and pouts, "its your own fault for not getting up the first time." I wince as I pull on my shoes and rub on the blisters that formed yesterday from all the walking. I make my way outside, up the path and towards the newly repaired bridge that is finished today like Bo had promised. "We can go see the goddess!" Finn exclaims buzzing around me excitedly, and I giggle.
"Maybe she is going to lecture you for being so childish." I giggle as we make our way towards the opening in the woods that Finn has claimed leads to her.
"That's not funny! The goddess said its very important!"
"I think lecturing you is pretty impor-" I stop as my eyes land on a tree in front of us. It's branches are bare, and sitting in front of it is-
"Goddess!" Finn cries out zooming over to her as I run after him. "Goddess! Goddess!" Finn sobs as he cuddles into her arms. I feel my heart pound as she floats into a upright position. Beautiful isn't enough to describe her appearance.
"Hello Angela. It's fortunate that you made it here safely." She states and all I can do is nod. "I understand you are likely curious as to why I requested you come here." She lets go of Finn, who reluctantly flies over to my side. "The truth is that, I am dying." Wait...what?
"WHAT?!" Finn screeches and I see sadness seep into the goddess' eyes.
"But...how?"
She turns and gestures to the withering tree behind her. "this tree is the source of my power. Without it. I will wither away as well." She floats over to me, grasping my hands in hers. "I called you here. Because I need your help, Angela."
"M-My h-help?"
The goddess nods, a grim smile upon her face, "I need you to awaken the Harvest King. He is another celestial being such as I. Though he is much stronger. The only way to awaken him is to ring all 4 of the bells that I have entrusted to my strongest harvest sprites."
"Then I just need to go to them and have them ring them right?"
"I wish it were that easy." She sighs and looks off into the distance. "It's been years since I have been able to find my dear sprites. I would do this myself, but I barely have the power to hold onto this physical form before you. I need you, Angela, to find the bells, the sprites you seek will be there also once you do. This is something I can only entrust to you Angela. Very few can see Harvest Sprites in this age, so you are the only one that can do this mission for me." Tears fill her eyes as she starts to fade away, "Angela, you are my only hope."
"W-Wait! How am I supposed to do this? What do you mean your only hope?" The goddess fades away completely leaving me and Finn stares where she was just moments ago. "H-How am I supposed to do this...?" I ask Finn who looks at me and shakes his head. I chuckle my heart pounding. "Haha...no pressure right, Finn?"

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I hurried to finish it today so I can make up for anyone who may have been disappointed with the authors note from earlier today.
