I do not own Harvest Moon at all!!
……………[ Next Day } ………. Spring 23
The sound of nature began once the time was 6:00am. The beautiful, sapphire-like eyes opened slowly, a soft hand went up to brush orange hair strands away from her face. "Uh.." she moaned softly, turning over, "Five more minutes.. " she groaned to herself as if she were still living with her mother at the city, well when her mother was still alive. Chelsea would turn as the dog then jumped on her bed; and story about the bed, she got it a bit later the night, she wanted the bigger bed, so she ordered it way from Mineral Town. and began to lick her cheek. "Ah!" she giggled as she would turn over and grab the cute little oddball in her hands. "Alright, Alright.. I'll get up" she spoke to Amos, placing him down gently, getting up, and getting dressed. Then she remembered, she had to do everything early, before her 'date' with the Cowboy. She grinned, she needed a dress. The door knocked, Her head looked towards the door, Amos began to bark now. She smiled, "Hush, boy" she spoke, talking over to open the door, to see a girl. Julian stood there with a huge grin on her lips, along with Lanna and Natalie.
"We've heard rumors that someone has a date tonight" spoke Julia in a teasing way, Chelsea figured she'd know since she's pretty much Vaughn's sister.
"And that we figured you have no outfit for the situation, I see someone needs a 'girl's touch' " spoke the star, otherwise known as Lanna, who awkwardly enough, she had an interest in fishing, yet always seem to lose at the competitions.
"I'm pretty sure we girls need time to ourselves, as well that we have to judge in which dress works best for you. " spoke the Sister of the Shy Bachelor; Natalie.
Chelsea blushed, a very deep red too. She would look at the three one by one as she would open her mouth and try to speak, but all she did is stammer and play nervously with her hands. "Um.. Um… T-thank you.." she smiled to them. They all laughed, not at her of course, just finding it cute that Chelsea, for the first time, is acting this way. "I appreciate it a lot.. Soo um.. What now?" she asked, nervously, of course.
"Hmm Let's see.. Who here is close to Chelsea's dress size" Natalie began t inspect the other girls, not her of course, she didn't own a dress either.. She found it rather unnecessary to use on her crate working days. "Lanna seems closer, as well she is the only one I know that owns a lot of pair of dresses" She smiled while she would then looked to Chelsea and then the other two. "To Lanna's then"
"What what about my farming?" asked Chelsea, obviously she couldn't stop her work today.
"Ah no worries, We convinced both Elliot and Denny to do them for you, it was very easy" Said Natalie as she laughed, maybe she thought about the event.
"What…did.. You do?" asked Chelsea, both unsure to ask and rather curious to know.
"Well tomorrow I'm dating Elliot" Said Julia with a sweet smile, rather excited, looking over to Lanna as she blushed and looked down a bit. "And I Denny.." she held her hands together rather tight.
……………[ After a 7 minute walk with the girls } ……….
It was a short walking when talking to people, and t was rather enjoyable. Chelsea looked at her areas, but Vaughn was nowhere to be seen, she took a moment to ask Julia, and she said he left the morning she woke up, telling her, he has something to do. They said their hello's to the currently 2 mothers in Sunny Island. They were all chatting up at the well, "Hmm you should join us sometime, I'm sure you have interesting things to talk to Chelsea" spoke Mirabelle.
"Sure! I'll take time to talk to you two" she waved, they went straight to Lanna's and entered the home,
Lanna locked it as they walked over to the room. Natalie laid on her back at the soft pink bed, while Julia sat with her legs up; Indian-style. Chelsea stood there, staring at Lanna, she was searching in her dresser, "Let's see" her dark green eyes stared over to Chelsea, "What is your color.." she would bite her soft, pink, lower-lip. "Hmm I think a light-blue would be best.. Hmm A bit hard to know. "She pulled out a white dress with red, orange, and blue butterflies all over. She showed it to Chelsea, "Alright, go to the bathroom and change" Lanna pointed to the bathroom door. Chelsea walked in, 3 minutes later she came out.
The results were shocking, "Whoa!" all three said, they stared at Chelsea.
"That dress was made for you!" Julia spoke to her, Chelsea flushed as she would smile big,
"You think?" she asked, shyly now, she looked down as she did a slight spin. "This is pretty much the first time I woke a dress in years.."
"That date of yours will be blown away" Grinned Natalie. Chelsea turned to face a mirror Lanna just brought over; full-body mirror at that too. And she couldn't believe it.
"Hmm wait.. Let me do something here.." Lanna walked over and would take off her bandana and would let her hair loose, Julia walked over and brushed her hair, with a Brush Lanna gave her for assistance. Natalie stared now, thinking ways to improve this gorgeous look Chelsea had going on. "Hmm let's see why not place a hairclip or something like it on her?" she asked to the other two.
"Hmm I think I have something that matches with it, though I want that hair loose, It's gorgeous, I wonder why you always have it tied and covered." Lanna spoke'
"Uhh cause I work of course.. ?" Chelsea didn't know how to answer her, since it was quite obvious, both Natalie and Julia giggled, but tried their best to hide it. "Hmm what do I wear for shoes?" asked the farmer, obviously she didn't felt this girly in a long, long time, last time was when… like she was 6 years old, to where everything to her were doll-like dresses, dolls, tea-parties and such. Well at her home at least.
"Oh how can we forget! I'll check quickly!" Lanna went straight into her dresser again, searching. Julia ended placing a large blue butterfly at the left side of her Orange, flowing hair.
"Here we go!.. You're a size 7 right?" asked the pop diva while she handed her a pair of black flats. "Yeah don't want to over do it with you.. " she smiled and Chelsea placed them on.
"What about Make up?" Julia suggested, feeling the need, as she felt she wasn't much help as well.
"No, no Make-up. Chelsea rather looks better natural" Smiled Lanna to her, making Chelsea blushed. Natalie laughed.
"T-thanks, Lanna" said Chelsea.
……………[ 5;48pm } ……….
"My look at the time!" Natalie said in surprise, "We took so much time dressing her up and making her look her best, she would be almost late for her date.
"And that is were we call that, Fashionably late, dear" said Lanna in her 'Diva' tone. They all laughed then, "But well we better not let the date be late anyways. "Unless…" They looked over.
"Is this your first , actual date.. Chelsea?" asked Natalie, of course Julia knew, being Chelsea's best friend, but rather let Chelsea answer it.
"U-um.. Y-yeah.." looked down the poor farmer girl after she replied. A few little squeals were heard here and there, a common thing that would happen when 'girls hanged-out'.
There was a knock on the door, Lanna opened it, the others, including Chelsea peeked to see what or who it was. There would be a horse in front of it, and at the saddle there was a note taped to it. And on it there was a name written in such elegantly cursive letters. Chelsea . The girls were in 'Awe' as Chelsea took it, All it said in it was:
"This will be your Chauffer for this night"
"Well I guess it is time for you to head it" spoke Natalie. "Good luck!" said both Lanna and Julia as Chelsea mounted the horse and then rode it over to the forest.
……………[ 6:03pm } ……….
She found the spot, hidden into the trees. Her eyes watched what there was. There was a large black sheet, there was two lit purple candles, white plates at either side with a picnic basket near it. "Oh.. Wow.." Chelsea blushed as she dropped off the horse, but her foot got caught in one of the hoops where you stick your feet in. "Ah!" she prepared to fell impact.
"You sure keep falling for me.." a voice told her, her eyes looked up to meet purple ones, a smile formed on his charming lips. Wearing a white button up shirt and black dressing pants, with black boots, of course. Though this time he didn't wore his hat.
"Uh.. H-hi.." she told him as she stood straight and straightened her dress. His eyes glued to hers, then looked down to what she wore.
"I was wrong.." Vaughn spoke as he looked to her, Chelsea frowned, she felt she did something bad. "You look gorgeous tonight.." he pulled her into his arms, taking a smell of her hair, it smelled like Strawberry today. "Mmm…" He smiled and let her go, holding her hand, and then sitting her besides him at the sheet. "I always go here when I need to get away from the life.." he told her.
"Oh.. I always go up to the mountain for mine.." she giggled softly, Vaughn took out a bottle of wine along with some food, she's seen it before at the dinner. Chelsea grinned as she just found this all to sweet of him to do. He gave the servings. They talked and ate. "So Vaughn.. What is your History?"
"I rather.. Not say". He frowned, looking down a bit. "Well.. I."
"I'll tell you mine and You'll tell me yours, ok?" she thought it might make him feel more comfortable.
"Uh! Ok" he blushed, staring at her, he's going to know her story.
"Well unlike all the islander's here, even though me and Lanna are close with the lifestyle… I used to be a city girl, I never grew up with a father so I lived with my mother and my brother, Who maybe you met him, he lives in Mineral town. Well.. Anyways.. Brother grew older and moved out, apparently he had a thing for farming and such, cause grandfather always made us work around at his farm when we visited, I never had an interest, but he always did. Gandfather died and he took over for him, he's so successful, I'm so jealous of him. " she giggled for a moment. "Like 2 years later, Mother died of a disease she never told us about.. And I was left alone, and I couldn't afford to stay there, since it was so expensive.. So I sold the house and I pretty much took the boat to mineral town.--"
"Oh, so that's why you're here, huh?" Asked Vaughn, staring at her with the most interest one would ever have.
"Mhm" Chelsea admitted while she looked at him. "I wanted to see if I could live with him, but well.. Taro pretty much gave me the farming job here, so I figured I should try it.. I'm not bad at it, am I?" she asked.
"No, you've changed these people, like they seem to gain hope by the day.." The cowboy looked to the sky while his hair covered his face.
"As well I'm jealous of my brother, I got a letter from him, He's married and have a healthy baby boy, probably 3 years old by now" She looked at Vaughn as she blushed.
"Is that so..Hmm.. Chelsea want a kid then?" He grinned, joking, looking over to her as she flushed.
"No!-.. er.. I mean not now..Ah!.. I mean…" she was so embarrassed, but all Vaughn found it was cute. He found it pleasant for his used-to-be lone and cold heart. He looked over to her and then kissed her, she closed her eyes and kissed him back, her arms around him, he laid her down. Next to him at the sheet. Cuddling with her while she nuzzled into his chest. He rand his fingers through her hair.
"I am a lucky guy.." He told her. Her eyes looked up to him, they kissed again. He pulled her closer and closer to him, all the did was kiss. They pulled away for a moment and looked into each other's eyes. "Can I stay over?" he asked while rubbed her back gently.
"Sure! This time we won't be cramped to not fall of the bed" she smiled while she would stare to his eyes, He just smiled back, not wanting to let go of her.
"Vaughn I l-" thunder was heard as she was about to finish her sentence, it began to rain. She looked up as the water began to pour on them. "Yeah we should leave.." she suggested, looking over to him as he laughed, he laughed. Her heart felt it would burst right now.
"Yeah let's go.. I'll pick it up" he said. He did, he picked up the things as Chelsea held the basket, in her arms as he had placed the things in them, he held her hand and both ran towards her home. It was nothing but giggles and smiles as they dried up and changed clothes, Chelsea but the other clothes to dry up. They laid in their bed and snuggled.
"Good night, my farmer girl.." whispered Vaughn into her ear as he had her close to him.
"Good night cowboy.." she giggled as they fall asleep, she woke up a bit later as her eyes stared to the gentle and adorable face of Vaughn. "I love you.. " she whispered and sighed softly, caressing his cheek, her hand ran through his hair and kissed his forehead, she went back to sleep. A very small smile formed on his lips.
