A/N: Hey all, thanks for your comments! To McLovinGod, I'm still working on how the confrontation will go. Thanks for following! To Stars and Serendipity, sorry this doesn't do it for you. This is meant to be silly and not really an in-depth look at the games. It's definitely not meant to be taken seriously. If you are looking for something that is dead on accurate to the source material, I'm probably not the writer for you. But thanks for your time. I know I'm not the best at using proper tense and I'm glad you noticed lol.


For some reason, I slept unbelievably well. I didn't make much in the way of gems or profit yesterday, but I did make some progress on my befriending of Will. Who knows, we may stay in touch after I get his sun stone. It's not my fault he doesn't like Lily. I'm beyond caring about that anyway.

I'm on my way to Mr. Rich right now. Will has a predictable schedule. I hunt him down at the beach, where he is sitting by the waves and looking blankly into the distance. I scuttle up next to him, "hello Will."

He looked up to me, and for the first time looked disappointed to see me. "Hello." He replied.

Oh crap, now he's mad at me too? What did I do? I'm sure I seem taken aback, and I must solve the mystery of why he possibly hates me too. "What's wrong?"

He sighed, "Yesterday Lily told me you're trying to earn my sunstones. She says you are not at all interested in me. Is it true you only talk to me to receive them?"

Now I'm the one that's vicious. How dare she! How dare she! I better set this straight. "It's not true, not at all!" Okay, it was true, but that's all in the past. "I'll admit I started out trying to get them, but that's how I get to know people. Just ask Natalie. And Elliot. And Vaughn and Denny and the Witch. All of these people I befriended in my hunt for sun stones. You're no exception. If you were to give me another right now, I would still want to see you. I'd probably keep up with seeing you everyday!" What am I saying? I guess Will's been upgraded to close friend status thanks to my wrath against Lily. It. Is. On.

"I happen to have one right here." He took out a sun stone and put it at my feet. "It is yours."

"Thank you." I say, but I feel so wrong. He may be rich, but he's a real nice guy. I should make it up to him. "I just thought of something, wait here." In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have got up and ran. He probably got the wrong idea.

What am I doing? I'm heading over to Animal Island. I've got a sack full of carrots, and I'm prepared to use them. The rabbits there are experts in finding flowers, which I will use to win him back. I may even make him my sidekick or something. The gloves are off Lily!

The rabbits know me well. I exchange carrots for flowers all the time, but this time is different. I've taken only the finest carrots in my garden, and a whole lot at that. This is a big job!

-At Animal Island-

I abruptly dump all my carrots in the feeder. Within seconds I'm swarmed by rabbits, good. I call them all to attention. "Listen rabbits, I've got a big job for you. I want you to go out and find as many flowers as you can handle. Bonus points if you can find some extra pretty ones. If you succeed, I'll double the amount of carrots here tomorrow."

It's good to live on magical islands where animals understand you. They all nodded and took off.

I dawdle around until sunset, fishing absently to pass the time. I wonder if Will is fed up by now, or still sitting there like an obedient puppy. The rabbits have now returned with a fair amount of flowers, one I never seen before that appeared to be, err, glowing? Surely this is a miraculous sign!

"Thanks guys! Expect a huge treat tomorrow." I said to my rabbit friends (I sound like a Disney princess don't I?) as I depart for Verdure.

-Back at Verdure-

I was truly astounded to see Will, waiting right where I left him. I'm not sure if I'm touched or confused by how obedient he is without question. It's pretty dark, but my suspicions about the flower actually glowing have been proven by the beacon like light it's emanating right now. How far gone is my sanity that I find nothing odd about a naturally glowing flower?

"Will, hey!" I call to my obedient puppy. He looks toward me, just as I expected him to, with a look of skepticism about him but a little bit of hope. I run to him with all the good intentions I can muster.

As I draw near, I notice Will looking at me with such intrigue. I'm sure he's mystified by my glowing face in the dark, or maybe that's the look of terror, who knows? Anyway, I keep going toward him with my arms full of flowers hoping he'll accept my apology. I'd say I'm only doing this to spite Lily, but I really do enjoy his company. I guess getting to know someone past the surface will do that to you.

So I get right up close and hold out my bouquet with a look of earnest. The glow of the flower allowed me to see his now astonished expression, and it's adorable. He takes the flowers from me, and I happily let them go.

"Will." I'm not at a loss for words here, I went over what I'd say on the boat. "These are for you, a symbol of my gratitude for all you've done for me, and of how our friendship will continue to blossom." Oh gosh, that sounded about five thousand times cheesier than I thought it would. He doesn't seem to think so though, he's glowing just as much as the flower.

"My lady." Woah, his voice is so steamy all of a sudden. "Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you, thank you." He's looking lovingly at the flowers, and occasionally up at me. I smile a little, for some reason.

"You're welcome. So, don't listen to Lily anymore. I'll be around tomorrow as usual."

Then he hugged me. Tightly. Gracious, just how happy is this guy? Err, not really something I'd like to find out.

"It's a little late, Will." I say after a few moments of silence. "We should probably go to bed." That sounded so phallic. I hope he doesn't take that the wrong way.

"Oh, yes, of course." He released me then. "Good night my lady."

"Yeah, goodnight." I said, backing slowly, watching the glow on his face until it was out of sight. When I couldn't see him anymore, I just walked back home.

On the up side, I got my sun stone, and got closer to Will, and beat Lily at her own game. This is perhaps the best outcome I've ever got from collecting flowers.

What kind of guy likes flowers that much anyway?
