I couldn't get on the computer all day, so that's why this is kinda late. Well at least I got it out! Anyway, it's Winter 1 in the story and everything is in Chelsea's POV unless noted otherwise. Enojoy~

Chapter 1- Thursdays

I moaned as I forced my eyes open, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late. I dragged myself over to my kitchen to get a slice of bread for 'breakfast'. I went outside and managed to walk over to my crops without dying from tiredness, but while I was watering I could've sworn I heard voices. I looked around and saw no one. Great…now I'm tired and delusional…

"Yeah you're delusional cause you're talking to yourself and watering the snow!" Wait…when Lilli get there?

"Hnn….oh mornin' Lilli…" I kept watering my pl-oh wait…

"CHELSEA STOP WATERING THE GROUND WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!" Lilli grabbed my wrist and I threw my watering can on the ground.

"Emergency?" I asked tiredly.

"Eric is being an idiot again, and Natalie is REALLY pissed. I mean more pissed than usual!" I nodded. We ran (well I was dragged) the rest of the way to their house.

"Natalie I don't see what I did wrong!" Eric said.

"YOU'RE JUST SUCH A CLUMSY IDIOT!" I think that was Natalie, "YOU HARDLY EVER WORK AND WHEN YOU DO YOU DESTROY WHATEVER YOU TOUCH! AND NOW YOU-"

"OH SHUT UP!" I shouted, "You're giving me a headache…"

"It's Eric's fault, he's always screwing stuff up!" Natalie said, crossing her arms.

"Well Natalie's always shouting at me and being rude!" Eric fought back.

"You two obviously need some time away from each other…" Lilli sighed.

"Well I guess Eric can come stay with me." Julia said, "You can take my cousin's bed."

"Wait…what about Vaults?" Natalie asked.

"He's only here two days a week, he can find someone else to stay with. It's not like it's permanent anyway." She answered.

"Good…LEAVE NOW!" Eric grabbed some things and ran out.

"Natalie honey I think that was a little too pushy for the poor boy." Their mother, Felicia said.

"You're right, oh well he's not my problem anym-" Natalie started.

"WHAT'S THAT DWEEB DOING IN MY ROOM!?"

"W-what was that?" Natalie shrugged.

"Sounds like Vaults found out Eric is staying with them…" I said.

"Lets check it out!" Lilli and I (Natalie didn't wanna see Eric) went over to Mirabelle's shop. When we walked in we saw Vaults holding up Eric while shouting something to Julia, "Daang this looks bad."

"Yes, yes it does." I replied simply.

"Oh…hi again Sugar!" Julia waved, "Honestly it's not as bad as it looks!"

"Huh?" Vaults dropped Eric, "What are you two doing here?"

"We could hear you throwing a tantrum from next door." I answered. He walked towards me and waved something in front of my face…maybe it was a pillow. Then I could get some sleep…

"Are you even awake?" he asked.

"I'm not sure…" Vaults grabbed my wrist and walked towards the door.

"I know how to wake you up." He muttered.

"If you're gonna rape me, that's not gonna work." Vaults stopped, slowly turned around and slapped me upside the head. Then he began to walk again, "Ow."

"You're just realizing that hurt…" I continued to be dragged until we came to the river, "I'm gonna dunk your head in here."

"OK………WAIT WHAT THE HECK!? NO WAY!" I shouted, waking up.

"That always works." I frowned, "Oh nice pajamas by the way."

"What?" I looked down and saw I was still in my pajamas, and then I ran.

XXXXXXXXX

"WHY VAULTS WHY!?" I shouted as I walked into the animal shop.

"Why what?" he asked.

"Why do you have to leave on Thursdays!" Really, it's no fair that I only see my best friend two days a week!

"Cause I got stuff to do." Vaults answered.

"What kinda stuff?" he sighed.

"Stuff for work."

"What kinda work?"

"Work with animals."

"What kinda animals?"

"Animals for farms."

"What kinda farms?'

"Farms like yours."

"Why?"

"Cause I like animals."

"Why?"

"Cause I do."

"How much moola do ya make?"

"Enough."

"How much is enough?"

"A number."

"What number?'

"A secret number."

"Why is it secret?"

"Cause it's none of your business."

"COOL! Lets get lunch!" I grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the diner.

"I don't know why I put up with you." I giggled and ran the rest of the way.

"Oh Chelsea good to see you!" the diner owner said as we walked in.

"Hi mister! My buddy-" I began to say.

"I'm not her buddy." Vaults commented.

"My acquaintance-"`

"I'm not your acquaintance."

"Fine be that way…this guy and I are hungry!" I walked up to the counter and took a seat, "Make me something yummy."

"OK, what would you like?" the owner asked with a robotic smile.

"Um…surprise me!" I threw my arms out and lost my balance, and almost fell out of the chair. Vaults caught me though.

"I have some porridge." He said, putting me back up on my chair.

"Ew, only old ladies eat porridge!" I stuck my tongue out.

"You're not gonna get to be an old lady if you don't shut up!" I immediately 'zipped' up my mouth.

"Here's your food." The robot guy placed two plates in front of us and I dug in.

"OH NOM NOM NOM!" Vaults glared at me, "Oh nom nom nom." We didn't talk the rest of lunch.

"I'm going to take a walk in the forest." Vaults got up and put some money on the counter, "I paid for your meal."

"NO, I should be paying for yours!" I gave in after he glared at me for the umpteenth time, "May I come with you?"

"…..fine." I jumped out of my seat and hugged him, "No hugging, and you have to be quiet."

"OK! I pinky promise!" I took his pinky and interlocked it with mine.

"Lets go."

XXXXXXXXXX

For most of the walk we were quiet (like I had promised). Well that was until I saw…RABID DOGS.

"ACK! EVIL DOGS!" I screamed and pointed to a pack of dogs that approached me.

"I know what to do." Vaults pulled some food out of his pocket and fed them, "See they're good dogs."

"Cool…lets play with them!" he smiled in agreement.

A while later…

"That was fun!" I said, laughing.

"Yeah, it's good to get some exercise." He looked down at his watch, "OH MY GOSH I'M GONNA BE LATE!?"

"Late for what?" ignoring me, Vaults ran out the forest. Being the curious girl I am I followed him. When he got to the beach the boat had already left.

"You've got to be kidding me…" Vaults stomped around and started cussing.

"Aw did you miss the boat?" Danny, who was fishing on the pier, asked.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK!" Vaults shouted.

"That's to bad. The guy said he isn't coming back until Spring." Danny said then went back to his fishing while humming.

"YAY! You're gonna be here all Winter!" I jumped up and down clapping.

"That dork Eric has my bed…where am I supposed to stay!?" I know…

"You can stay with me!"
