Ahhh. Chappie 9. This chapter was written on an iPod touch while listening to Muse songs at someone's house. Hehe. So I want to thank Akari-miniwara for ideas and drawing the twins :D (Link at .com) I'LL GIVE YOU A BIG HUG AND COOKIES ONE DAY. :) AND, I posted the link on my profile to my version of the twins. Even though Akari's is better. Anyways, on with the story...

-Disclaimer-

Ari: HEY GUYS!

Dom: … Hi.

Ari: This is to say that Coquette08 doesn't… what's the word again?

Dom: Perhaps it's "own"?

Ari: *Glares, because she doesn't like sarcastic remarks*

Dom: Shrinks away*

Ari: Yeah, you better. ANYWAYS, she doesn't own Harvest Moon.

Previously

Many visitors came now to help us take care of Dominick and Arianna. Especially Muffy, since she was the godmother. And she was proud. She's such a good auntie, too. Everything was smooth, but it wasn't going to be all the time. I heard the clock ticking. How will it be, when Kiziz is an teenager? Was he going to be sweet and normal, or the average rebel?

Chapter 9
Maïwen's POV

My babies were now a year old already. Dominick was a good walker and he hung out a lot with me when I went to the barn while Arianna promised to be more like Muffy: loud and talkative. Well, she did spend a lot of time with her. Kiziz was now eight and he had a love for art. More like the creative kid, like Gustafa. Well, they spent a lot of time together so it figures. And even if it was hard for him to have two other siblings, he managed well. But he hasn't hit puberty yet so it was something I was kind of afraid to go through...

EIGHT YEARS LATER

Arianna's POV

Me and my twin brother Dominick were nine years old. Big brother Kiziz was 16 and he was always acting like a jerk to mommy and daddy. It got annoying sometimes. He was always yelling and whenever our parents wanted him to babysit us, he would act like such a drama queen. He would say stupid stuff like what he had a social life to maintain, when there's no one but Hugh and Katie that were his age, and they always came over. I mean sheesh, it's not like they would die if they didn't see him. As I passed the house, I heard by brother yelling at daddy. Such a drama queen. Well, I wasn't going home. Might as well go see auntie Muffy. She probably has something to think about and she'll dress me up, as always. Yippee! I was smiling when I saw Dominick come out of the chicken coop. Gee, he loved animals that guy. My brother and I were identical twins. He had brown hair that fell on his bright purple eyes, just like mommy's. He was tall for our age and he was the quiet type. I was a little shorter than him, and the only thing that was different between us was my green eyes. Just like daddy's. And my hair was longer. AND I was a big mouth. I ADORED talking, just like auntie Muffy.

-"Where are you going?", asked my brother.

-"I'm going to see auntie Muffy. You?

-I uh... Going to stay here and help Mom with the cows. And maybe I'll go see Hope."

Hope was me and my brother's best friend. She was auntie Celia and uncle Marlin's daughter. She was born maybe a year after us, and she was so clumsy! Oh well, we love her like that. I left the farm and walked happily to the Blue Bar, uncle Griffin's bar. I was allowed to go in because he loved me a lot. I had a great afternoon. Auntie Muffy and me talked and talked and she dressed me up and even put a little makeup. I felt so pretty! Then around supper time, she brought me back home where Mommy greeted me with a big smile and hug, and we went inside to eat.

Dominick's POV

I was outside in the field helping mom to brush the cows. Everyday, I felt more and more that farming was my calling. I adored animals, they were my best friends. And Hope, of course. I mean, we grew up together. When I was done with animal caring, I headed to Vesta's farm. As I got closer, I saw Hope's lean figure and her long black ponytail getting closer and closer. She was watering crops. When she saw me, she waved and she smiled. I smiled back and we went to town and get Arianna to play tag. We were laughing like idiots until Daryl, a creepy scientist, came out and was examining us like we were an... Experiment of some sort. Mom and dad had told us to be careful whenever he was around. So we left back home, while Ari was blabbering as always. Hope was smiling and nodding, and talking with her. I just kept walking and I wished I had another guy friend. Lumina and Rick had a son called Oliver, but I didn't like him very much. He was too... Spoiled. But my sister got along pretty well with him. I think they'll end up married. I hope not. So our best friend came home and we played some more until Auntie Celia came and pick her up. As they left, me and my sister waved and went inside to eat. Dad and mom were smiling and laughing while they were cooking and I supposed Kiziz was in his room. He was always angry. I hoped I wouldn't be like him when I was a teenager. I headed towards me and Ari's room and grabbed a book about animals. Mom called me to eat dinner. After I ate, I took a shower and I went to bed.

Maïwen's POV

I smiled at my son Dominick who was brushing the animals. He wasreally good at this. I think he'll be the one to take over the farm. With Hope. I know, mom shouldn't match her own kid but heck, they were MADE for each other, I knew it since they were friends. And she loved crops. So she would have her field of crops and he, his field filled with grazing animals. They completed each other. I told my son to come and eat lunch. We were smiling and joking around but our smiles faded when I opened the door and we saw Kiziz and Gustafa argue.

-"I'm sick of it!", I heard Kiziz yell.

-"I have no idea what you're talking about. Can you explain it to me?", my husband said.

He was having another angry they saw me and Dominick. Then my husband talked again.

-"Oh, welcome home. Were you listening?", he asked me. I nodded.

-"You don,t care about me, right? Not at all!

-That can't be", my husband told him.

-"I'll say what I want. You're -

-I always tried to respect you as a person", my husband said. (A.N: I never got what he was trying to say, oh well.)

-"I can't beleive this!

As he came to leave, I put myself in his way. What were we going to do with him?

-"Get out of my way, Mom.
-No."

He looked at me with this mean face. He was truly angry this time. I never punished my kids with violence and it heart wouldn't let me do
it. I chose to comfort him. I knew his father was a unique figure, him not having a job and helping me a bit on the farm, but he had no right to talk to him like that. I approached him, and held him against my chest. He was stiff at first, but he returned the hug and started to sob. I looked at Gustafa and gave him a look that said to leave me and him alone. He nodded and made a sign to Dominick to go outside with him. After a few minutes, I started talking.

-"I know this is a though period of your life, and that anger is filling you, but it doesn't give you the right to yell at your dad like that. He doesn't work because I told him not too, and he raised all three of you. I don't know what makes you this angry, but I wish you could just tell me what's wrong so I can try to help."

He looked at me, and he nodded.

-"I feel useless. I feel as if my life is going nowhere. And dad just stays there and doesn't try to even help me. I'm scared to be like him, and I want him to show me HOW to be, like when I was a child.
-Why do you say you're useless?
-Open your eyes mom! Dominick helps you everyday with the animals, and even Arianna helps you water crops. What is there left for me to do?
-Well, you could always take care of the crops with Arianna, while me
and Dom take care of the animals.
-Yeah, I suppose.
-And while were talking about Dom and Ari, maybe you should try and bond with them. Did you know they're scared of you?"

He looked at me in shock. Then he said:

-"I don't want them to be scared...

-Well fix your attitude and spend some time with them.

-Alright.

-And maybe you should apologize to your dad now. He's really upset, I could feel it.

He nodded, and got up. He hugged me and thanked me before going outside. I smiled and went to make me and Dom some sandwiches and we
had a pleasant lunch.

Gustafa's POV

I was outside playing my guitar and thought about everything my son had told me. Was I such a bad father? I heard footsteps coming closer and I looked up to see Kiziz. I face him a small smile and patted a space beside me. I looked at this young man who looked just like me when I was his age, and I heard him sigh.

-"Dad, I'm really sorry for everything I've said. I didn't really mean it.

-Then why did you say all those things, son?

-It's just that, I look up to you. I'm really confused in what I want to be, and I didn't want to, you know, end up like you."

That hurt. What did he mean, "didn't want to be like me"?

-"What do you mean by that?", I asked.

-"Well, it's just that I haven't realized you were a hard working man. But then it's just that I didn't know why you didn't work, until mom told me why. And you took care of me, Ari and Dom. And parenting is a big job, and I'm sorry if I gave you a hard time.

-It's ok. And you're not so bad. I was worst than you when I was
sixteen. Just ask grandma and grandpa.

He snorted and we talked some more. When supper time came, we actually all had a great time. And I skilled as I thought I gas a great life.

Kiziz's POV

Everything was much better at home. I had gotten closer to my siblings and they seemed pretty happy. Ari liked me the most, since we watered
crops together. Then one day, I saw an add in the newspaper from Mineral town that announced there was a beach festival there and that all towns were welcome. I asked my parents if we could go and they agreed. Auntie Celia agreed to take care of the crops and grandpa Takakura was going to take care of the animals. So we left for Mineral Town, and only the goddess knew what surprises would wait for us there.

DONE. LOL. Typing on an iPod isn't fun, but at least it's done now. :D
Until next time!
