Clank: Hey Clink since Clenk is a baby who is the mommy?

Clink: I don't know…the internet…

Clank: Then who's the daddy?

Clink: Uh…the creator…

Clank: You mean Kenneth the almighty author!?

Me: Hell yeah I can do the internet cause I'm that almighty.

Clank: He is.

Me: Also I might ask for reviewers on help for ideas so feel free to ask.

"Ugh so bored…nothing to do…" I moaned out on the grass. I realized soon that after doing all the farming work and taking care of Cocola. I had nothing to do. "Maybe I should have a job or something…" I then remembered Owen offered me a job yesterday. A Miner and a Farmer….sounds like a good combo.

I decided to walk to the Garmon Mines with my hammer which was extremely heavy. "How can Owen walk through an entire mine with this and I can barely walk to a town with it?" I saw Owen already outside lifting some weights.

He noticed me, "Hey Kasey! Get a good night sleep last night?" He acted as if he wasn't even lifting the weights. "So why you up here in the mines? I thought you were busy farming?"

"Oh, actually…I came to uh…apply for a job as…a miner…" I was still nervous about this. I mean Owen was ripped even when he wasn't flexing his muscles I could see how huge they were. It made me feel small…

"Really you want to work in the mines!?" I never really thought that you would be interested." He smiled and then his eyes noticed my hammer. "You even brought your own hammer. Great then all you have to do is get you a forum and then we can get you started." He then grabbed my arm and dragged me into the armory.

"Hey Ramsey, Kasey here wants to be a miner. Could you get a forum for him?"

Ramsey just mumbled then put a paper on the desk. "Here sign this." He said blankly. He looked at me unappeased, probably because I had no muscle. I started signing it when he looked at me. "You up to this? You're weak and you'll probably pass out the first day."

What the heck did he think of me!? Did I really look that weak!? Now I just wanted the job to prove this guy wrong. "Yeah I'm taking this job."

"Good cause it'll build you muscle. Look at Owen." He sure was arrogant.

After I filled out the forum he leaded me into the mines with Owen. I looked in awe at all the rocks and crystals down there. "You're required to get me 30 ores by the end of the day. They can be any kind unless I specifically ask for a certain kind. Any questions?" It sounded simple enough.

"So we get the ores by hammering the rocks right?"

"Yes, but don't hammer the gray rocks just the brown ones. Also take this." He handed me a white gas mask (the pad not the helmet) I put the helmet on. I could barley breath!

"I can barely breath with this thing on!"

Ramsey shook his head. That's the point, some of these rocks have toxic gases that will affect your work. Since you're a beginner I think it's best that you use the helmet."

I sighed heavily. This guy really thought low of me. "I'll let Owen teach you about the mines, and since this is you're first day I'll cut your 30 ores to 15. Just make sure it gets done." He then walked out the mines.

"Is he always this stern?"

Owen shrugged. "He may seem a little cruel but I think he see's something in you otherwise he wouldn't even consider letting you apply."

I think cruel is a bit of an understatement. "Anyway we just hammer these rocks and we get ores?"

"Yup but it's only like one ore every 10 rocks but anyway let's get started."

After lugging my hammer up and down the mines I was able to smash a few rocks and I was lucky. I found iron, copper, steel, and gold ores. But I was pretty tired after a while.

"Ok Kasey we can take a lunch break now." Owen then pulled out a pizza from his bag.

I then remembered, I have no food…and that pizza was looking very tasty…

"Hey Owen…you wouldn't mind sharing a bit of that would you? I didn't bring anything to eat…and I'm sooo hungry."

Owen laughed at me. "Well....you didn't know so sure I'll split it with you." He ripped the pizza into two slices, giving me the smaller half.

I took a bite out of the pizza, it was delicious! "Hey did you make this? It's pretty good."

Owen smiled. "Nah, Kathy made it for me."

"You mean from the Bar?"

"Yeah, we're going out and she makes me food all the time.

"Lucky, I would love it if someone made me lunches like that all the time."

"Is there someone who you like here in Castanet?"

I blushed at the thought of the question. "Well…I only know Luke and Renee here the most. I guess I have a little crush on her…" I kept turning red at the thought of me liking Renee. But she's so cute and she's so nice to me all the time.

Owen chuckled to himself. "She is nice."

After that we ate in silence until we finished our food. Then we finished our work. By that time though it was 6:00 PM and I was so tired that I could barley walk. Owen had to help me to the blacksmith.

"Hard work wasn't it?"

"Yeah mining is tough…" It was freaking brutal man! How can you expect me to do the same thing tomorrow!?"

"Lucky for you tomorrow is Thursday so you can take the day off. You'll be pretty sore tomorrow so get to bed early tonight. Oh and before I forget…" He handed me some money.

"Wait…20,000 dollars…" I stood in awe at how much money I made.

"Mining's a tough job, you earned it. Now get some sleep."

I'm going to be rich. I can make 20,000 dollars a day off of this stuff. I then went to bed early feeling whooped.

*The next day*

I slowly opened my eyes to the rising sun. I tried moving my legs but the minute they twitched my legs went numb with pain that jolted up my entire body. I screamed in pain at first then I was able to get out of bed. I grumbled through the pain as I walked to make some pancakes at my frying pan. I then heard a knock at my door. "Hey Kasey, are you awake?"

I recognized that cute voice anywhere. "Coming Renee." I slowly walked to the door and opened it. I saw Renee holding two cups and two large jugs of milk and a fishing pole.

"I heard that you went mining yesterday. You must be sore huh?" She laughed a little.

"Yeah I'm really sore so I was thinking about just sleeping in today…"

"Oh…I was hoping you wanted to go fishing for a while…" She looked down sadly and turned away.

I reached out and grabbed her shoulder and smiled. "I'll go, just let me get my fishing pole and I'll be right out." How could I say no to such a cute face?

Renee took me into Harmonica town by the beach to go fishing. "Here have some hot milk, it'll help your muscles." She poured me a cup and I drank some.

We sat in silence for awhile while we reeled in our fish until she brought up a topic. "Hey Kasey, did you have a crush on anyone in the city?" Renee sounded interested.

I blushed by the question. "Why would you ask something like that!?" I could feel my cheeks getting redder.

Renee giggled. "I was just wondering…so did you?"

"No I didn't!"

"Aww, c'mon their must be someone you might have had a crush on."

I shook my head and didn't answer.

She then pondered a thought. "Is their anyone you like here on Castanet!?" She was teasing me now I could tell. But I did like someone here not that I would tell Renee specifically who.

I stumbled trying to answer. "I…I do, but you're not going to know!"

Renee sat for a second blinking. I was hoping she had nothing to say, and then I saw her eyes sparkle and she grinned. "You like someone here!? Please tell me I promise I won't tell!" She was nudging me which hurt like hell being that sore.

"No I won't tell it's a secret."

She sighed. "Fine then, you are so bottled up." She then frowned and went back to fishing.

I frowned back. "Fine then, is their someone you like here in Castanet!?"

"W-W-What…no I don't have a crush on anyone here!" Her face went cherry red fast.

I grinned. "Hah you do like someone! Ms. Hypocrite tell me!"

"No! I don't like anyone." Her face went redder as I kept teasing her with questions.

"Fine then at least give me a hint."

"Only if you give me a hint on yours too."

"Fine," although it wouldn't be an easy hint.

She thought for awhile before answering. "He's someone who saved my life once."

"Someone saved your life once?"

Her face went redder again. "Yes and I'll never forget it. Now it's your turn!"

"She's someone who gave me something special when I came here." I was referring to the calf that Renee gave me.

She sighed. "Everyone gave you something when you first came here. That's not fair…"

I smirked. "But someone gave me something special, and I'll never forget it."

We both laughed and then went back to quietly fishing up hooks. "I just hope that I can find that special someone…"

I could see a gleam in her eyes when she said that. "Me to Renee, me to."

Clink: That was so heart rendering I fainted.

Clank: Or maybe it was because the internet gave birth to a baby.

Me: Either way I'm still crying.

Clink: Anyway What do you people think about the chapters, good or bad? Okay and I want good answers not "It's good keep working!" I mean actual reviews and thoughts about the story.

Clank: Yeah I don't like simple reviews it makes me…bored.

Me: And I need to make my story better so I'll also take ideas if anyone wants to give some. :)

Clink: Also I might be able to squeeze in a chapter tonight so please be waiting! ;)

Clank… I want to do a face too… :)
