Door Knockers

Bang! Bang! Bang! What is that? Bang! Ba

ng! Bang! Who's knocking on my door AGAIN? Bang! Bang! Bang! Let me guess... Taro.

"Get up, Chelsea!" Yep, it was Taro. "You need to work on your farm!"

I rolled over and buried my face into my pillow. Why is he always doing that? Every single morning, he comes and raps on my door, screaming at me. "What do you want, Taro?" I muttered sleepily.

"For you to get up!" Taro screamed through the door. "You have crops to take care of!"

"What time is it?"

"6am!"

"Why do I have to get up so early?"

"You're a rancher now! You have to get up early to feed your animals, and care for your crops!"

"Yeah, but I don't HAVE any animals!" I screamed angrily.

"You will someday," Taro said. "Now get your lazy ass out of bed!"

Hmm... I never thought Taro would be one to swear.

I reluctantly crawled out of bed, and went to get dressed. I still needed to get new clothes from Chen. These jeans and t-shirt weren't working out very well.

When I pulled open the door, Taro was gone. I sighed, and grabbed my watering can.

I filled it up with water, and went to water my turnips. Half an hour later, I was done.

"See, Taro," I muttered to the air. "I didn't need to get up at 6am!"

The next few days were the exact same. Taro would wake me up screaming and knocking on my door. I would get out of bed, get dressed, and water my turnips. On the 8th of spring, they were ready to harvest.

I had gotten up on my own at 6am. It seems that time was growing on me... I went outside, and began tugging at one of the turnips. It didn't budge. I pulled harder, and it came flying out of the ground. I fell backwards, and landed on my back.

I groaned and sat up, rubbing my head. I held up the evil turnip, and glared at it.

"You're going first, buddy!" I said to it.

It was the same with all the other turnips. It was around noon when I finally finished. There were sixteen in all. I shipped one-quarter, and saved the rest for food.

I bought four bags of potato seeds, and four bags of turnip seeds. By the time they were planted and watered, it was 7pm, so I decided to go to bed.

Three days later, I woke up to someone knocking on my door. At first I thought it was Taro, but there was no screaming, so that was impossible.

I got out of bed and quickly got dressed. When I opened the door, I was staring at some huge gorilla. My eyes widened, and I looked up at the face of the person. My eyes grew even wider.

"Hello," the man said.

"Hi," I squeaked out. I was terrified of this ginormous man.

"I'm Gannon," he said. "Chen told me this place needed a carpenter, so I decided to come live 'ere!"

"I-I'm Chelsea," I stuttered, still scared.

"Hello!" a voice peeped from behind Gannon. A little girl with curly blonde hair and blue eyes stepped out from behind Gannon.

"This is ma daughter, Eliza." Gannon said, smiling.

I looked from Eliza to Gannon, Gannon to Eliza. I couldn't believe that sweet, adorable little girl was that huge gorilla man's DAUGHTER.

Gannon laughed. He must get that a lot.

Eliza stepped out in front of her father, and flipped her hair pompously. "You're pretty," she stated. "But not as pretty as me! If you need any beauty tips, don't be afraid to ask."

Well that's something you'd never see in the city. A self-absorbed eight-year-old girl with a ginormous father.

Eliza began to skip away, and Gannon followed.

I woke up to someone knocking on my door again. They were soft, light knocks, but they were loud enough for me to hear. Again, I got dressed quickly and answered the door.

A woman was standing in my doorway this time. She was round with short blonde hair and light blue eyes. Beside her was a girl about my age. She had curly blonde hair that was in a pony-tail, and light blue eyes like the woman. One of the first things I noticed about her was that she was wearing tall white boots, Daisy-Duke shorts, and a short, open shirt.

"Hi!" the woman said happily. "I'm Mirabelle, and this is my daughter, Julia."

The girl smiled, and waved.

"I'm Chelsea," I said.

"We heard that there was a farm on this island," Mirabelle said. "You see, we own an animal shop, and thought you might need some animals!

"So, we decided to open a shop here!" Mirabelle was practically screaming with excitement. Her daughter was smiling just as much as her.

"It was nice to meet you," Julia said, and walked away with Mirabelle.

I decided to explore the island more. I walked into East Town, and over to the river. There was another broken bridge, and a meadow on the other side. If you followed the river north for a while, you would come to another bridge. This one seemed to lead to a jungle.

I was sitting in front of the broken jungle bridge, when I saw something move. The leaves rustled, and something moved again. It didn't look like an animal. It looked... human. A bush rustled and a head popped out. I couldn't see clearly, but I thought I saw the figure raise a knife.

Well, I jumped up and began running as fast as I could. I didn't even look back; just kept running home.

I burst through my front door and fell against it. I was breathing heavily, and tired from running so fast.

A few seconds later there was a knock on my door. I froze, thinking it was the person from the jungle.

"Chelsea?" I sighed a breath of relief. It was Natalie.

I opened the door, and was greeted by Natalie and Julia. "Yes?" I asked.

"Uh, what happened to you?" Julia asked. "We saw you running like there was no tomorrow to you farm."

"Um... I forgot I had something cooking!" I lied.

Natalie and Julia both peered into my house. "What were you cooking?" Julia asked. "Pickled turnip?"

Natalie stared at Julia. "You don't cook pickled turnip!" she said.

"I was being sarcastic," Julia said matter-of-factly.

"Uh-huh," Natalie said. "Well you're horrible at it!"

Julia glared at Natalie, and turned her head the other way.

"Well... Bye!" I said, and slammed my door in their faces.

I know, Eliza doesn't normally arrive with Gannon. I just decided to do that for this story. Hehehehe... :)

Oh, and Vaughn will be in the next chapter. *sqeauls like crazed fangirl* Wait, I am a crazed fangirl!

GO VAUGHN!
