Hi everyone! I'm back again with chapter two :). In this chapter, Finn visits the Goddess to talk to her about Clarissa and Luke. It's a really short chapter, but it had to be done. Don't worry, the next one will be longer! I'll try to get most of the chapters to at least a thousand words. To all first reviewers, thank you! You are the motivation for my writing, and you are fantastic. If any of YOU out there are reading this and you have any feedback to give, please review. If you don't take a couple of seconds to type it, then I won't know it. Alright? Alrighty then :). Anyway, here's the super short (big awesomeness comes in small packages) chapter two of "The Grass is Always Greener"!

Yours,

Chapter 2: A Trip to the Goddess Pond

I peered through the leaves at the shimmering goddess pond, my home. Or at least it was my home until I got assigned to work with Clarissa. Alan, Ben, Daren, and Calvin, my brothers, were all sleeping soundly. My other brother, Edge, wasn't among them though. He had taken up residence at the Celesta Church's wishing shrine. Clarissa and I were in the process of gathering people's wishes in order to ring his bell.

This place is always so peaceful at night I thought, as I breathed in the cold, crisp air.

Walking in further, I could to hear the Harvest God and Goddess talking.

"Ooooh, Ignis, you bad boy you." The Harvest Goddess cooed.

"Well you know me, baaaaaad to the bone!" Ignis said, laughing heartily. I didn't know what was going on there, and I had a feeling that I didn't want to.

Maybe I should come back another time… I began to tip toe away from the pond.

"Oh, is someone there?" The Harvest Goddess asked, her head poking out from behind one of the rocks.

"Pookie, if there's someone you need to talk to, it's alright by me." The Harvest God said. Ugh, Pookie? What's up with that?

"Oh Finn! Come in come in!" She welcomed me and gestured for me to come closer.

"No, it's okay, really, I'll come back another time…I mean…I don't want to intervene…" I started.

"Nonsense! You just wait there for a moment; I'll be right with you."

A few seconds later, the Harvest Goddess and Harvest God came walked out from behind the rocks (fully clothed, thank Goddess).

"Now what's the problem, Finn? Is Clarissa doing alright?" She asked. She bent down to look at me, which I didn't like. I mean, I knew I was short, but there was no need to rub it in.

"Well, no, you see, she's been having problems with that boy, Luke."

"Love troubles?" She asked. She winked at the Harvest God when I hesitated. Ew.

"No, just the opposite." I hurriedly explained. "She got really mad at him today and stormed off. They just don't get along! I think they have a lot more in common than they realize, and that they could get along if they wanted to, but it isn't my place to tell that to Clarissa. Is there any way that you can make them understand each other a little bit more?" I pleaded. Clarissa talked about how annoying Luke was all the time, almost as much as she talked about Chase. If only they could get along, things would be a lot better.

The Harvest Goddess seemed to contemplate this situation a bit. She whispered to the Harvest God, who then whispered back. As he whispered, her eyes lit up with a mischievous glow. She laughed happily.

"Don't you worry Finn. Ignis and I have come up with a brilliant way to help the two get along. Things should be put into effect by the day after tomorrow at the latest. I'm sure it will all work out." She said with a smile. Or was that a smirk? I couldn't really tell.

"Okay, thank you!" I said quickly, and ran out of there as fast as my stubby legs could carry me.

"No problem Finn, sweetie!" She called to me as I dashed away from the pond.

I smiled. I helped Clarissa! Her and Luke will surely get along better from now on. She'll be so happy with me!

Bam! And that's chapter two. Chapter three will be up soon. Thank you :D!

Oh yeah, and review please :).
