Some Dreams Are Meer Illusions

A/N: I DO NOT OWN HARVEST MOON OR ANY CHARACTERS FROM IT.

^ Just saying. I forgot to post that before.

I have been editing these chapters, with reviews from readers like you! So the story may change slightly every now and then ;)(Also Italics means thought!)

Chelsea pov:

I flopped onto my new bed, my suitcases still in hand. I was exhausted, emotionally and physically. The smell of fresh air filled my nose and I inhaled it deeply. The pink cherry blossoms were stroking the frail old windows of the brother and I just came back from the city, it was quite dirty, smelly, and most prople were just plain rude! My brother insisted to pick me up, which was odd, I was the older of the two of us. But I insisted in response that I would drive, being driven by your younger brother is just weird. I still didn't trust him, even though he graduated high school and had a license, and I didn't want my brother driving me! We had a small chat in the car, he, for some reason sat in the back seats like a child, gazing at the trees that rolled by as we drove along. he left the window rolled down and the Spring air gently blew past our faces.

"So now that you've graduated, what's next, little bro?" I asked motherly. At least, what I thought was motherly. He humphed as he slumped into the car chair,crossing his arms. Heh I giggled internally, he hates that nickname.

"Well, I got into that collage I've always wanted to go to. You know that law school. I'm leaving on Wednesday. Silence. My heart remained in place, since it sank and rose at the same time. He was living a childhood dream, while I wasn't. Yet I was happy for him. At least he wasn't in my situation.

"Wow! That's great Minaki!"

"Yeah, Dad was still alive when I got the news that I was accepted. I'm glad that he got to know that I will be a lawyer, I've been bugging him about it practically my whole life! I'm really excited!" Dad... Just hearing that word made me sad. I tried not to dwell on it. Minaki flashed his adorable little brother smile, the one that I remember him sporting since birth. Well, at least he's happy. I wasn't happy, not the slightest bit. Not at the moment, anyway.

Dad's funeral was really hard for me. I was a mess, more so than anyone else, I was the closest to him. The place just reeeked of deppresion. I didn't even talk to anyone else, nor did I want to. Inside myself, I had a false hope that my 'mother' (She didn't raise me, why should I consider her my mom?) would find out somehow and show up, and I could talk to her. No, yell at her is more fitting. I would tell her that she missed so much in my life, Minaki's life, Dad's life, and in our family's life as a whole. I would tell her how I longed for her, yet I had hatred inside for her and I ask her which dream and lifestyle was so important to her, that she would abandon her family for. Then, maybe she wold come back for me, begging for forgiveness and I wouldn't give it to her, not then or ever.

Like that happened.

Uncles old house, (aka, dad's new-ish house) was actually quite cute and of a typical ranch style. It was a small, wooden cabin with a tale, 2 chairs, two beds, and other normal interior items. It was welcoming and cozy, one that you could get used to living in. I could definitely see Dad living here I said to myself while slightly grinning with remembrance. It was Monday, only 2 more days with Minaki… I pondered. I would be seeing him off on his voyage to his dream life, waving to him from the pier as he left me behind. On Wednesday. And he was going to introduce me to the town too!

But that would be on Tuesday.

A/N: After this, we get to the good stuff! (Some fluff too!) I'm excited, are you guys?

BTW: this story probably won't be long and I will probably complete it very fast so everyone can read it without waiting for updates! Or maybe not….

XD See you guys soon!
