Here's the next chapter!!!!
Also, I would put Monica's age as around 17.
"Ughhh…." Monica's eyes fluttered open, then closed back at the light that came into her eyes. She then felt the area go dark again, and she opened her eyes to find a pair of navy blue eyes staring into her azure colored ones. "Oh!" Monica comically covered her face with the blanket on her.
"Are you alright?" She heard a warm voice filled with concern ask. She slowly pulled down the blanket to her chin and stared at the body where the voice came from. It was a young man, maybe a year or older then her. And to top it all off, he looked EXACTLY like the dude from Rune Factory.
"Wh-where am I?" She whispered.
"Oh! In the clinic of Trampoli, in the Norad Kingdom. I found you in my field unconscious, and I took you here…" She could see that the young man's cheeks were turning pink.
Monica's eyes blinked. "Come again?"
"Um, your in Trampoli…in Norad…"
"And what's your name?"
"Raguna."
Monica felt her eyes close once again, feeling woozy this time…
"Woah! You alright?" Monica felt strong arms circle around her frame, pulling her back up.
"Raguna, did you wake up the poor girl?" She heard a voice chastise. A young woman with long red hair wearing what she would guess to be a nun's outfit appeared.
"Lara?" Monica whispered.
The young woman laughed gently. "Yes, that is my name, it seems your awake. That means you can have some food in you…" A little tray of food appeared and was put on her lap.
"Sorry that we don't have much fresh fruit, Spring has just started…"
"I have some apples I saved!" Raguna replied, opening his run sack, bringing out the red spherical fruit. "Just a sec." A little knife was produced from his belt, cutting the apple into pieces. "Here you go." Raguna handed Monica a piece. Monica just stared at it.
"Come on. I'm sure it's not poison if Raguna gave it to you." Lara laughed.
The girl hesitantly took the scrap of fruit from the young man's palm, then popped it into her mouth. A smile spread across her face. "Mmmmmm…"
Raguna laughed at the look on the girl's face. "I'm guessing you liked that?"
Monica quickly nodded her head. Making Raguna laugh again.
Lara put her hand on Monica's forehead. "Hmmm…it seems you don't have a temperature…I think your just fine."
"That's good." Monica smiled.
"Sorry if I'm being rude but…what are you wearing?" Lara inquired.
Monica the blushed in embarrassment, seeing that she still had her pajama's on. "Um…there my pajama's…"
"What?" Lara and Raguna both looked quizzically at her.
"Um…my bed clothes…"
The bridge of Raguna's nose turned red, then he walked out of the room.
Monica turned to Lara who was now giggling in to her skirt. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you just made Raguna a little uncomfortable, he is quite the gentleman. But, how did you get into his field?"
Monica looked down. "I don't know, one minute I was in my house, the next, someone…or something…whisked me here. Wherever here is…"
"Well, your welcomed to stay here as long as you need." Lara replied.
Monica's eyes brightened. "Really?! Thank you so much!" She wrapped her arms around the woman.
"Your welcome. By the way, what is your name?"
"It's Monica."
"Monica, that's a wonderful name! Well Monica, how about we get you some clothes…"
Raguna's POV
Erg…come on face! Stop being so red! I thought angrily as I was waiting outside the room. I wonder where that girl came from…she reminds me of…well, how I was.
"Raguna?" Lara stepped out of the room.
"Yes Lara? Is she ok?" I quickly asked.
"Monica's fine Raguna, only, can you please get me some old clothes of yours? She can't fit into any of my outfits."
I could imagine the question mark forming above her head. "Monica?"
"Yes, that's her name."
"Ohhh…I'll be right back!!" I dashed back to his house. Finding my clothing chest. "Hmmm…well, all I have is this…hope it works!" I dashed back to the Church…
"I must say, your hair is very long Monica…" said Lara as she combed through the knots that formed into Monica's hair.
"Yeah, my mom would always say that either my hair looked like a princess's, or a ragamuffins." Monica laughed.
"I think it fits more in the princess category right now." Lara replied as she took a mirror to show Monica. He long hair looked like spun gold as it waved down her back.
"You hair could be even longer then Selphy's!" Lara exclaimed.
"Selphy?"
"A girl who runs the library here in Trampoli. You can meet her later."
"Hello? Lara-" And elderly lady came into the room, then looked at Monica. "Who do we have here?"
"Stella, this is Monica, she's the girl who Raguna found. Monica, this is Stella, the head of this Church."
"It's nice to meet you ma'am." Monica replied.
"Oh, just call me Stella dearie. I'm going into the Church for the holiday sermon. Call if you need anything." Stella then walked out of the room. Just as suddenly as she exited, a panting Raguna came in with a bundle of clothes.
"I…found…some clothes…" Raguna huffed. Monica then went over and took the bundle from his hands. Lara eyed the clothes wearily.
"Raguna, I don't think those clothes are appropriate for a young lady…"
"It's alright, these are perfect." Monica beamed.
"Good." Raguna smiled. "Oh! I'll just leave for you too change…" He awkwardly walked out of the bedroom. Lara looked back at Monica. "Monica, I can get some clothes from the other girl's around town…"
"No, these are fine. I just need some scissors…"
"Raguna. Would you like to see what Monica has done too your clothes?" Lara chuckled.
"Huh? Okay…" Why is she laughing? He stuck his head from the doorway. "Monica?"
"Right here!" Monica walked out of the bathroom door with a little bit of ribbon in her mouth. "Could you help me tie my hair? I would like to put it in a half-ponytail…"
Raguna's mouth dropped. Those were MY clothes?
Monica's new ensemble was a navy blue long sleeve shirt that the sleeves were cut off at the forearm. The vest was from his old armor, and the same color, but was cut down the middle, showing off her figure. She had on a belt with multiple buckles and a leaf design, also a little pouch looped around the side. It appeared the shirt was actually a dress, ending just above her knees with some white material showing. Following off were some black tights that were probably from Lara, laced up hiking boots, and some brown fingerless gloves with a blue ribbon laced on each wrist.
"Raguna?" said Monica.
"W-wha?! Oh, s-sure…" He quickly tied the soft, pretty…Bah! What's happening?! Raguna thought.
"Thanks. And thank you so much, for…well, everything." Monica smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Raguna felt his face warm up again. "Don't mention it…so, Lara told me you don't have a place to stay?"
He could see the girls face drop. "Yeah, but don't worry! I'm sure I can find somewhere…"
"Why don't you stay with me?" Raguna blurted out.
Monica's eyes widened, then a big smile appeared. "That would be awesome! You're the best!!!"
Raguna laughed. "You're going to have to help me farm though."
Monica nodded with a determined smirk. "I'm ready for anything."
