Clank: MWWWWWMMWMWWWW!

Clank: MMVVv…..


Renee did show up the very next day as we promised. She showed me how to till the soil and water the crops. She seemed to be enjoying teaching me. Of course, we haven't seen each other in so long. When we finally finished I was about to go to bed, I was so damn tired. Then it suddenly hit me. I don't have any tools! Or money…

"Hey Renee how am I supposed to do all this work if I don't have any tools to use…or money." I felt stupid for not bringing any money with me now. Renee however was giggling. It was cute how she laughed.

"Well we plan to give you everything you need at the welcoming party tonight. Just think of it as a way to get better acquainted with everyone in town."

"I already meet everyone in town; couldn't it just be easier to just give me the tools?" Actually that was an excuse, I loved parties but only if I knew the people there. I'm very shy around others and being in a room of people I don't know makes me want to die!

Renee folded her arms and looked sternly at me. Kind of like she was annoyed. "Kasey you're too shy," She read my mind.

"You can't say that you were shy back in Kindergarten!"

"Stop making excuses this is a new chance for you, it's best to start on the right foot." I never thought Renee would be this insisting. Then again, I suppose she's doing it for my own good.

I sighed knowing I wouldn't win the argument. "Ok fine I'll go. When is it?"

"It's at the bar 6:00 tonight. So don't be late." She then smiled that sweetly smile at me again.

"O-Ok sure," I was blushing again, but I think she understands why.

She then tilted her head to the side a little. Like she was confused about something. "Kasey, why did you leave the city? Just out of curiosity."

"I just didn't like the people in the city, they're so vulgar and obsessed with nothing but sex." Not one sentence goes by them without curse words in them.

"So you moved because you think the people here are more…classy?" We both laughed at the word classy.

"Well at least classier than in the city. I just don't like those kinds of people…" I sighed again.

"Did you have any friends there?" the questions continued.

"Not really."

Renee seemed taken back. "Not one? You didn't make one friend there? You're just joking."

I shook my head. "No it's true. I suppose I hung out with a few people but I don't see them as friends really."

"Well what do you consider a friend?"

I thought for a moment. "A friend is someone who is willing to put himself for the sake of another. Most of those people were just people I liked to talk with and play games with. They would never put a limb out for me though."

She giggled a little. "I think it's kind of strange but it makes sense to me. Oh wait I also have a little welcome back gift, but I think I'll give it to you at the party." She then waved before she left.

I was still tired so decided to head home to go to sleep early. "Alarm set to…5:00 that should be enough time."

I suppose my nervousness got to me, because I dreamed that I went to the party wearing only my underwear and being laughed at like some clown that was kicked from the circus. I then dashed out of the bar and bumped into Renee. Not exactly the best way to meet a best friend. She just stared at me as if she was hypnotized. After I got off her, she turned away and handed me something. It was a change of clothes! She saved me from eternal embarrassment!

After the dream, I was rudely awakened when the alarm went off. I slammed the clock and then got dressed. I looked in the mirror and checked myself. "Under wear check, jeans check, underwear check, T-shirt check, hat check, underwear check,….underwear check. Ok I'm good.

When I left, it was 5:05, Harmonica town was a 15-minute walk and I enjoyed taking a small stop at the beach. As I was walking, I saw someone sitting by the beach. As I walked over, I clearly saw it was Toby. Toby and I were somewhat friends but we never really talked much.

"Hey Toby!" I called. I then waved. He waved back without saying anything.

I then sat next to him. "I thought everyone was waiting for me at the Bar." I sounded a little arrogant.

He smiled. "I was looking for something to give you on the beach. It was a bit of a last second thing so I didn't really know what to do." He felt a bit guilty.

"Did you find anything?"

"No not really. Sorry about that."

"No Toby, it'll be all right. I don't mind."

Toby then looked really guilty after I said that. Probably wasn't expecting my modesty. But he then changed the subject. "So…what's your relation to Renee?"

"Huh?" I was flustered by the question.

"Y'now, are you good friends with her?" he insisted on perusing the question.

"Uhh…I guess I 'm one of her best friends." I tried to sound humble.

He shook his head. "So…what kind of gift would you give her?"

Wait a second. I thought is he asking me how to charm her. "Are you asking me on advice as to how to get close to her?"

He was quickly taken back. "No, no, it's just that I kind of wanted to get to know her better that's all."

"Sure…"

I checked my watch. 5:45. "Hey Toby the party is starting soon. Let's go."

"Yeah I guess so."

Toby and I both walked all the way to the bar. My nervousness grew, as we got closer to the bar. "You go in first."

Toby shrugged and walked in.

I then checked my watch 5:58, 2 more minutes… What should I say when I first go in…"Hello everyone my name is Kasey Rellum…No to formal…*sigh*" I decided to throw my fear away and just walk inside.

I opened the door slowly taking a deep breath as I did. I walked through the door. My fear flooded back in me when I saw so many heads. "SURPRIIIIIIISE!" They all screamed. At first, I stood silent and surprised, and then I began to faint. "Hey Kasey don't die on us now." Luke called he picked me up from falling. He laughed. "He's just a little stage fright." He patted my back and then pushed me into the large crowd of people.

Damn you Luke if you knew I was stage fright then why did you just push me into all these people!?

The first person I saw was a blue haired woman who looked somewhat shy. "Uh…Um…here." She handed me a blue box with a ribbon. "Um…I just wanted to make you feel a little more comfortable with the city and all…"

"Thanks, I'm Kasey Rellum."

She shyly smiled. "I'm Candace; I work at the Flute Tailor." She turned away quickly. "Um…I'm sure you've got more people to talk with now…" She quickly walked away.

She's shier than I am. I then heard Luke calling me. "Kasey, I need you to meet some of my friends!" He pulled me and showed me a blond haired teenager and a red head man who was ripped.

"Kasey this is Bo, he works with me at the carpentry." I shook his hand. "And this guy is Owen, he works at the refinery." I reached for his hand but he practically crushed my hand with his grip. "Nice to meet you" he sounded happy. "Y-Y-You're c-c-crushing my haaaaaaand!" He quickly let go of my now crippled hand. "Sorry."

"These guys moved in a few weeks after you left. I'm sure you'll get used to them pretty fast."

I smiled. Luke sure had a good amount of friends.

I then heard my name called again. "Kasey could you please come to the podium." A short fat man was calling my name. I walked up the podium and shook the man's hand. "I'm Mr. Hamilton, I would like to start our welcoming party!" The crowd roared again. "Kasey would you like to explain why you came to Harmonica town."

That's when it hit me, I had to talk in front of a huge crowd again. I took a deep breath, soon everything started to go blurry. Then I spotted Renee in the crowd, she waved at me and smiled." I took another deep breath. I explained that I wanted to meet my good friends again and to also meet some new ones. That and to get away from the city to live at a nice calm area.

When I was done the crowd roared again, I even heard a few people chant my name. Then Mayor Hamilton stepped in front of me. "Ok everyone now let's all make a line to give Kasey his welcoming gifts and introduce yourself."

They all got in a line holding a box laced with a ribbon. "Is this how you always greet new people?" I was astonished as to how many people were willing to give something up.

He laughed. "It's just our way of saying welcome is all.

I gladly accepted all the gifts. Specifically, the ones I needed were a hoe, a watering can, and Toby gave me an old fishing pole. He apologized saying he didn't have any better ones. Owen gave me an old hammer. "If you ever need a part time job consider working with us for awhile." I didn't know if that was a joke or if he was serious. Luke gave me an axe saying that if I wanted to get stronger I should join him in the forest.

My arms were so full of gifts that it felt like as if they would fall over. Although I still had one more gift, it was from Renee.

"Kasey since you'll be ranching and farming I thought you might have wanted a good foothold. Come outside."

I walked outside and I saw a black calf with a blue ribbon around its neck. "It's a calf. I thought that you might like one now so by fall it would be a cow."

The little calf was licking Renee with affection. "She's pretty cute." The calf then turned to me and jumped to me and started licking me. We both laughed. "What are you going to name her?"

"How about…Cocola like the milk she will be making when she's fully grown."

Renee laughed at the name. "I think it's a very cute name."

"Mooooo!" Cocola mooed in agreement. We both laughed again. "I guess you'll be living here just fine after all." She smiled cutely.

"Uhh…yeah," I turned away when I blushed.

She giggled when she saw me blush. "Well I hope you enjoy what's left of summer vacation." She waved goodbye before leaving me with little Cocola.

I sighed. "That's right there's not much left of summer vacation…" Although I'm sure there will be more to look forward to.

"C'mon Cocola we're heading home."
