"Ok, so, I went into the woods that I told you not to go into because you would see the Goddess before your time… But no one was there!" Finn said in somewhat of a fast tone as he and the teenage girl sat on the floor. Tess furrowed her brow.

"No one? Are you sure?"

"Well, there WAS one person… It was another Harvest Sprite! His name was… Allen, I believe, yes it was. He told me that the Harvest Goddess doesn't always stay in the same place. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? I'VE ONLY SEEN HER LIKE TWICE AND BOTH TIMES SHE WAS THERE!"

"Calm down Finn! You'll hurt yourself!"

"Oh, you're right. He said that the Harvest Goddess was in this place called Harmonica Town, and that she left a message for me from there! That she's really worried, and needs you in Harmonica town ASAP!"

He stopped talking all at once and took a deep breath. Tess sighed.

"Harmonica Town is probably one of those big cities that's all hustle and bustle like it is here in New York… No farms needed or wanted."

She went over to her desk where a laptop sat handy. She opened it and pressed the "start" button. While waiting for it to load, she looked over at the clothes she packed.

"Goodbye, Mineral Town." She mumbled under her breath.

The laptop had loaded by now. So she put in the password and turned on her internet. Typing up "Harmonica Town" in the search engine. She got quite a few options, but none of them were what she was looking for. And then, when she finally found the right website, she looked through it and realized…

"It's a small town, and they're looking for a new farmer… Finn is this the right place?"

She received a nod. And then she squealed "EEEEEEK I'm gonna get to open my farm after all!"

Just then, she heard the dreaded footsteps of her uncle Galen, booming up the stairs and ready to question Tess on why she was talking to herself again… She sighed, she had had this conversation with him SO many times. But never actually said anything. Instead she would just listen to him ramble on about how she was crazy and needed to go to the nut-house, or how she was never going to get married, or both. She never could avoid it, but she was used to it. Seeing as she could, for longer than she could remember, see Finn and always thought of him as a regular person, therefore forgetting when to keep her voice down.

At the very moment she sighed, an idea came into Tess' mind. She ran to the cell phone sitting on her bed, and quickly dialed a number. The phone only ran a couple of times before she got an answer.

"Hello?" Said a woman's voice on the other end of the line.

"Hey Gretel, listen, uncle Galen thinks I'm talking to myself again so pretend you are!"

"Oh, ok, but Zephyr Town's annual tea party is going to start soon so I can't pretend very-" Gretel's sentence was cut short by the boom of a door flinging open and hitting the wall. Tess groaned.

"Yes, uncle Galen?"

"Have you talking to yourself again?"

"No, I'm talking to Gretel, say hi Gretel." She put the phone to Galen's ear.

"Hi" was all the man heard. He smiled.

"Well, that's once in a lifetime!" He then walked out the door.

"That went better than I thought…" Tess thought.

"Bet you're glad you have people like me who can also see the Harvest Sprites huh?" Gretel gloated playfully.

"More than you know! Have fun at your tea party! And thanks again!"

"Your welcome!" And then she hung up.

Tess sighed and smiled at the roof as she lay down on her bed. Finally, her purpose was becoming clear, her life started to happen.
