Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon or its characters, but I own my OC, Kat. My cousin owns her OC, Ash.


I stomped onto our new land. I was very angry, but I didn't want to wake up Ash. It turns out that I was gone for two hours. Time flies when you're fighting with a nerd, huh? I opened the front door and slipped inside. Surely enough, there was Ash, out like a light. On the floor. I snickered as I got closer because I noticed she was drooling. I managed a smile even though I was as angry as a lion. I entered my room and looked around. I found my old journal, a couple of my colorful pens, and a few pencils. Somebody once told me to never go to sleep mad at someone. Stay up and plot revenge.

I laughed evilly as I got out the phone book of Castanet. Taylor's Seeds. No. Horn Ranch. Where is that? Marimba Farm. Who names a Farm that? I noticed a few places, like the Inn. I called them. Ding. Ding. Ding. "Hey-yo! Maya here!" I smiled at Maya's way of saying hello. "Maya? It's Kat. I need your help." I said in a serious tone. "YAY! Food Buddy, what do you need?" she asked trying to sound serious, but she failed miserably. "Do you know someone who is good at playing pranks? I need some help." I whispered because I heard Ash from the other room. "Yeah! Luke is great at pranks! A matter a fact Luke and I played a prank on Chase a few weeks ago!" she happily explained. "Okay thanks, Maya! See you tomorrow?" I asked. "Yeah! Bye-bye!" she said and hung up.

Didn't Bo say that he and Luke worked at the Carpenters? Okay! I looked up their number and dialed it. "Hello? This is the Carpenters. Dale speaking." They answered. "Hi…um…Dale! It is Kat! We met earlier today. I heard Luke is your son. Can I talk to him?" I asked sweetly. "Hello, lil' missy! Sure. Give me a sec," I could tell he set the phone down, but I could hear him. "LUKE! GET YOUR LAZY BUTT DOWN HERE OR YOU'RE NOT ALOUD IN THE FOREST ANYMORE!" he yelled. I cringed. His voice was so soft and nice a minute ago and now he is threatening Luke? Strange. "I DIDN'T DO IT! IT WAS ALL BO! I NEVER MOONED GILL BECAUSE GILL WAS TELLING ME TO GO AWAY!" I heard Luke yell back. He mooned someone? Perfect. Luke was the person I needed, then.

"A GIRL IS ON THE PHONE FOR YOU, BOY! AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER!" Dale yelled. I giggled a little when I heard a crash, Luke grunt, and Dale yell again. "Hello! Selena! Did you finally except my date offer thing?" Luke asked into the phone. "Luke. That girl is way out of your league. Or you are out of hers." I told him. "Kat? HEY! I'M TALKING TO THE EXTREME GIRL!" he screamed. I burst into laughter. He sounded like a little girl saying that! "Yeah, yeah. I'm extreme. We went through this earlier! Back on track, I need your help. Maya told me that you were good at pranks." I told him, serious once again. "Hell yeah! I'm da boss at that! But my pops is da mastaaaaa!" he said, probably doing weird poses on the other end.

"Come over here. I'll wait on the porch." I said, hanging up the phone before he could respond. I realized I was still in my wet clothes. STUPID, KAT, STUPID! I pulled off my clothes and grabbed my pajamas. They were blue with a picture of a harvest sprite on the back and a rainbow in front. I pulled on the bottoms which had the harvest sprite and the rainbow in random patterns. The top was long sleeve and ended right above my stomach. Yes, another short shirt. I'm a showoff and I like to brag. Who isn't and doesn't? I just have weird ways of showing it. Luckily for me, I took off my jacket before I fell in the water, so I put on my jacket and went to the porch. I'll take a shower in the morning. I'm going to be busy and tired tonight.

As I sat down I looked at the land. The place was beautiful indeed. Damn it! Ash is rubbing off on me! I stood up and began walking around in the fields with the crops. I wasn't paying attention, though and I walked into a tree! That stupid tree wasn't there a second ago! "Haha! That was epic!" I heard from the tree. "Holy crap buckets, it's talking tree!" I said, backing away from it. "Crap buckets? Never heard that one before." Luke said jumping out of the tree. "Luke! You can turn into a leaf? Soooo awesome!" I exclaimed, jumping up and looking him the eye. "Well, I can't turn into a leaf. I was seeing if any fruit was growing in these trees." He said, shrugging. I booed and we went into the house. I took off my jacket and Luke blushed. "What?" I asked. "Your belly button is showing," he said, pointing at it. "My belly button was showing when you met me," I told him. "Not as much as it is now!" he yelled. "Shut up, Luke!" I whispered-yelled. "Why?" he whispered back. I never realized this until now, but Luke is pretty stupid. "Ash is asleep," I whispered back and we went to my room.

"Okay, so…what do I need to do?" he asked, plopping himself down on the floor. "We're going to prank the mayor's son," I declared, putting one of my feet on Luke's shoulder and pointing in the air with one arm and the other arm on my hip. "Gill? YEAH! I have been planning to prank him for forever! I have sooooo many ideas!" Luke exclaimed, jumping up causing me to fall. "Ow. And be quiet! Ash is asleep, Luke!" I sternly told him. "Fine, fine. Okay idea number 1," he started and I grabbed my notebook and began writing it down.

The next day

"WAKE UP, KATTY!" I heard and jumped off the bed. "What in the name of a holy hobo!" I shouted, getting up and inspecting myself in the mirror. "Hobo? Coolio!" Ash happily skipped into my room. "Damn it! Did you do that?" I asked her, obviously annoyed. "What time is it?" I groaned. "Umm…10:00 A.M." Ash said, checking her watch. "Did you do your farm thing?" I asked, pulling out my usual attire from my closet. Luke got Owen to help with the prank. It is going to be AWESOME! "Crap! I totally forgot!" Ash yelled as she ran out the door. I laughed and changed my clothes. Luke, Owen, and I stayed up until, like, 5:00 A.M.! It makes since that we sleep at least five hours. I had bags under my eyes, but I went through Ash's crap and found some cream that you're supposed to put on bags or whatever to make it seem you don't have any bags. I think. Oh well! I already put it on!

I ran out the front door and met up with Luke and Owen waiting at the path to Harmonica town. "How long have you guys been here?" I asked. "Ten minutes, I think!" Luke announced using his fingers. "Okay! Let's get going!" I told them. Owen put down the large bag and I slipped inside. I felt around and found the spray paint and silly string stuff. "You ready?" Owen asked. I nodded hurriedly and he zipped up the bag.

Last night while Luke and I were planning out the main plan, we found out we needed someone really strong. Owen fit that description perfectly. I listened as Luke and Owen talked about some kind of muscle cream. Weirdos.

Finally I heard a knock. We were there. Owen handed Luke the bag with me in it. I heard the door open. "What do you want Luke?" Gill groaned. Luke didn't answer him. Luke walked straight into Gill's house. Luke dropped the bag on the ground. Ow. He unzipped it just a little bit. "Come on Gilly! We're gonna get you abs of steel! You gonna love em!" Luke said, dragging Gill into a room. I quickly started to hit the side of the bag. I looked out from the zipper. I was under a table. Good enough. I heard a door open. "Lucas! No I refuse to wear these boxers! They're my father's! They'll fall off of me! Wait. When did I even agree to go with you?" I heard Gill. "Owens coming. He is right outside the door. And prove that they will fall off of you!" I heard Luke say and I couldn't help but giggle. Luke was asking Gill to strip himself in front of him. "No! I'll go get dressed in my room!" Gill scowled. I heard stomping then a door slam. "Kat? Where are you?" Luke asked. "Under thy table! Mwahahaha!" I whispered/yelled/evilly laughed. "Great! Stay there for a little bit longer!" I heard him open the front door slightly. Probably seeing what Owen was up to. I heard Gill open the door. Gill yelled, "Luke! No! Put me down! I don't like piggy back rides! No! I'm not gay!" I laughed as hard as I could when they left.

I crawled out of the bag and looked around. Luke and Gill were definitely gone. I checked in both of the rooms. I suspected that the right door was Gill's room due to the other one having pictures of Hamilton all over the walls. I walked into Gill's room and shook the spray paint can. I froze right when I was about to begin. The pictures on the walls had nothing in them. I walked to the nearest one. I studied every detail of it closely, very closely. It was the default picture. You know, the photos that are in the frames when you buy them? Yeah, those. I noticed something sticking just barely out from behind the picture. I opened the frame and found another photo. I inspected that one, too. It had a woman in a rocking chair and a little boy. The woman looked quite ill but was smiling sweetly at the boy. The boy was leaning on the woman's lap, looking at her confusedly. The boy sort of looked like…Gill. Heh, who cares? I put the photo frame back, but kept the picture. I wanted to look at it more later. I'll put it back tomorrow.

I spray painted the word, NERD, on the wall. All caps, too. I took the spray paint and did little drawings on the wall, like little faces and weird stuff. I took the silly string and sprayed it in the drawers and the closet. Hahahahahahaha! Perfect! I still have some time left. I sat down on the bed and took out the photo. I took in every detail. The fireplace was the same as the one in the living room here. Slowly I found myself drifting off. Gill's bed was soft and squishy. I tried my hardest to stay awake, but unconsciousness took over. And before I knew it, I was asleep on the nerd's bed.

(Gasp! No Flashback!)

Ash's P.O.V.

I just finished farming. I know Kat left with Owen and Luke a little bit ago, but Luke and Owen just came by with the mayor's son. Owen and Luke were happily marching by while they were dragging the boy by his shirt. The boy kept on trying to run away, but it was obvious that Luke and Owen were stronger than him. I laughed, wiped off the sweat on my brow, and joined them. "Hey! What are you guys up to?" I asked, happily. Luke flashed me a grin. Wow. He is soooooo cute! "We're getting Gill to have…ABS OF STEEL! Just like us!" Luke explained. Owen laughed and nodded his head. "Well, what are you going to do to get the blondie "Abs of Steel"? If you are doing exercise stuff, I'll help! I'm really good at that!" I told them.

"We are doing exercise stuff! You can join us! Just go to the farm and change into more…um…better clothes! And make sure you swim suit is under it!" Luke exclaimed. The boy's face paled and it drained of all color. "Before I go change…Who are you? I know you are the mayor's kid, but what's your name?" I asked him. "Gill. I'm the mayor's one and only son." Gill said. He was actually pretty cute, but I think Luke is a LOT better looking. I nodded at Luke and Owen and took off to the farm. Unlike Kat, I was actually pretty slow at changing and crap, but this time I'll make it quick. For Luke. My new crush. If I was talking out loud when I said that while Kat was here, she would be laughing her ass off the whole time.

I changed quickly and ran out the door. Luke was still there, but Owen and Gill weren't. "Where is Owen and Gill? And where are we going?" I asked. Luke didn't answer. Instead he walked ahead of me towards a beach. Finally he spoke up, "Gill and Owen are already there! We're going to the west beach! Kat should be joining us in a little bit!" he explained again. "Cool! I love beaches! Are we going to play volley ball?" I asked, running ahead, so I was next to him. He nodded his head vigorously, his hair shaking, too. It looked funny.

We made it to the beach to find only Owen. He looked confused and a little angry, too. He didn't realize we were there yet, though. "Where'd that little sucker go?" He shouted. Luke ran forward. "You lost Gilly?" Luke shouted, wide eyed. I stood there, absolutely confused because I had no idea of what was going on. "Guys, Gill probably just went home. From the looks of it, he didn't want to be here." I explained. For a brief second Luke and Owen exchanged looks. They started yelling and began running towards the town.

I followed them, eventually catching up to Owen. "W-what's going on?" I asked, still running as fast as I could. "Kat is in G-Gill's room!" Owen tried to explain. "Why is that so bad?" I asked, suddenly stopping. Owen stopped, too. "Gill and Kat hate each other. She never told you what happened last night?" Owen explained. My jaw dropped. Immediately I dashed off. Things get ugly whenever Kat is with her enemies. Alone in a room. Eventually I found myself passing up Luke.

Gill's P.O.V.

I was definitely NOT a runner. I bet you they're almost here. I quickly got up the steps that led to my house. I stopped and looked in the distance. I could see Luke and the other new girl getting closer pretty quickly. I unlocked my door and slipped inside. As soon as I locked the door there was banging on it. I yelped and ran into my room. Immediately I closed my door and locked it, too. No one can kill me now. "Damn it!" I heard from behind me. I recognized that voice from last night. Slowly I turned to see…the stripper. She looked sleepy. Like she just woke up from a nap.

I looked at my walls. There was spray paint and silly string everywhere. My eye twitched when I saw the word "NERD" painted on my wall. Both eyes twitched when I saw the silly string on my clothes in my closet. I screamed and attacked her when I saw the picture of my mother and I on the bed. "Whoa! I still have, like, one hour before you get back!" she exclaimed as I pinned her down on the floor. I understand now. Luke and Owen took me so she could do this. How did she get in here anyways? "Dude," I looked down at her, "this position is wrong on sooooo many levels." I could feel my face heat up and my mouth opened slightly. She giggled and slipped out from under me some how.

"Sorry. We got off at a bad start. My name is Kat, what's yours?" she asked, holding out her hand. She is suddenly wanting to be my friend after calling me a nerd, destroying my room, and going through my personal items? My mouth didn't want to listen to my brain apparently, "My name is G-Gill. The mayor's one and o-only s-s-son," I was stuttering? Why? Was this a part of her master plan to expose my diary stuff? "Cool. Your dad wanted me to check out your house, so I came in here and saw this! That picture was on the bed and I looked at it then someone knocked me OUTCOLD!" she said. I knew she was making up lies. Yeah, that's what she was trying to do.

Kat's P.O.V.

Boo-Yah! He is totally falling for it! "Stop lying." Okay. Maybe he isn't falling for it. "Whatever! You're a nerd! Get over it!" I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest. "You're a stripper. How about you get over it!" the nerd commented.

He is NOT doing that again!

Kat, calm down! He is the Mayor's son!

He is a nerd! I bet he doesn't even like Hamilton! I mean they both are EXACT opposites!

Kat, that doesn't mean Gill doesn't like his dad. I bet he still loves them!

You are me and I don't bet that!

FINE! You want to be so stubborn and rude? Then be stubborn and rude! Let's see where that takes you!

"Don't call me that again!" I shouted. "Stripper!" he exclaimed. "Nerd!"

"STRIPPER!"

"NERD!"

"STRIPPER!"

"NERDY NERD, NERD, NERDITY NERD!"

"What in the name of the heavenly goddess is nerdity?" he stopped yelling to ask. I thought for a moment. What is nerdity? It sounds wrong on many levels, but what the heck. "Umm…I think it means that you…um…I don't know, but it sounds wrong." I said. I plopped down on the floor and he stared at me. About a minute ago, I was fighting with this boy and now, I'm sitting here, helping him figure out what nerdity means.


"BROOOOOOSTEEEEEEEER!" someone screamed. There was a large crash and then the door fell down in Gill's room. Standing there was Owen, Luke, and Ash. "My door!" Gill exclaimed running over to the door that was now broken and on the floor. "Why'd you yell brooster?" I asked as the three made their way over to me. Luke shrugged, Owen grinned goofily, and Ash had a look of accomplishment on her face. "Hey Nerd! Want to join us at the beach?" I asked Gill. He was on the floor, still moping about the door. If it was my door I wouldn't give a damn. I nudged his side with my foot softly. "Nerd! Do you want to come?" I asked again. He shook his head. I narrowed my eyes. "Luke. Owen." I spat. The two boys walked over and picked up Gill. We all began walking to the beach.


"NO! NOOOOO! I DON'T WANT TO! I CAN'T HAVE MY CLOTHES WET!" Gill screamed right before Owen and Luke threw him in the water. Ash and I giggled at the two boys high-fiving and the other one coming out of the water, looking like a drowned rat. "GILLY! NO!" a voice screeched. Ash and I turned around to see a little girl with pink hair. Her hands were on her cheeks and her eyes were wide. Ash and I looked over to Gill, who's eyes widened and he jumped back in the water. I got up and walked over to the water. I could see Gill's platinum blonde hair from the top. I jumped in. And if you were wondering, I am NOT in a bathing suit. Still my regular clothes.

I grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled him up with me. I dragged him on the sand towards the girl. He kept on trying to get away, but I had a good grip on him. I finally reached her, "Here you go. The nerd is all yours." The girl gasped and jumped on the soaking wet Gill. She hugged him and rubbed her cheek against Gill's cheek. I felt something inside of me twist slightly. I was mad at the girl for some reason. I pulled the girl off him and bent down to her height. "Who are you? I've never seen you before!" she spat in my face. "I'm Kat," I spat back, "And watch where you spit, Brat." And with that I walked back to Ash. She was making a sand castle. I smiled and headed off into the ocean. I jumped when ever the waves would come.

Why would I feel like that when the girl hugged the Nerd?

Kat, stop thinking about it. I bet we'll figure out sooner or later.

Shut up. Remember the fight we had earlier?

Of course I do.

Don't talk to me.

Fine.

I looked at the beach to see Luke helping Ash with the sand castle. They'll make a cute couple. Owen was with Paolo, a little boy who is best friends with Chloe, Owen's cousin. The girl was gone and Gill was on the dock just sitting there. I swam towards it and pulled myself up some. "Watcha doing, Nerd?" I asked. "Drying off. Like you should be." He answered. I scoffed and climbed onto the dock. "Is she…your girlfriend?" I asked another question. I don't know why, but I did NOT like asking that AT ALL. "Luna? No, but she likes me. A lot. I know some one is out there for her, I'm just not the one for her." He said. The nerd is acting strange. Whatever. "Do you think that Ash and Luke make a good couple? I think so." I mentioned, pointing at the two who were happily playing tag with Owen and Paolo now. "Hmm? Oh…uh…yeah." He said without even looking at them. I sighed. I think I know what needs to happen.

"Look here, Nerd. We got off on the bad sides of each other. Want to restart? I'm NOT tricking you this time. Do you want to be friends?" I asked, sitting next to him. He looked at me in the eyes. He was probably trying to make sure I wasn't lying. His expression softened and he put his hand out. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Gill Hamilton."

I had a feeling this was going to be one of the most important friendships I've ever had. I shook his hand. "The name's Kat. Kat Dare."


A/N: Luna decided to show herself now! Finally. The only reason Kat didn't know Luna is because Luna, Candace, and Shelly weren't in town while people were being introduced. Wait until Kitty-Kat finds out that Luna works at Sonata Tailoring. And Kat and Gill are finally friends! YAYZ! A little more Ash in this one, too. And the link for the picture Kat was looking at is on my Profile. It is the CUTEST PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN thing.
