A/N: As usual, enjoy!

Summer. Amy loved Summer. The sun, the warmth, the beach…And today there was a festival to celebrate it all! After taking care of her chickens, cow, and her newly planted pineapples – which she had obtained from the Sprite Casino, she already had 20! – she headed to the beach, smiling and humming. When she arrived many people ran up to hug her, all smiling and laughing.

"Come here!" Muffy exclaimed "You have to meet Kai!"

"Kai?" asked Amy, following Muffy "Who's he?"

"He comes here every summer to run a food stand, and his food is amazing. Only he can rival Ruby." She looked over her shoulder at Amy. "I can't believe you've never met him before."

Amy blushed guiltily. That was because she'd been in that strange sleep-like state. Before the Harvest Sprites, before finding friends, before Skye…She shook her head quickly, not wanting to start daydreaming.

She followed Muffy to a stand on the East end of the beach, where a boy she'd never seen served food to all the villagers. He had dark tanned skin, a purple bandanna covered his head(A/N: Hehe, my friend and I decided that Kai is a pineapple, and he has that bandanna to hold down the leaves.), a brown no-sleeved jacket over a white T-shirt, and purple shorts. He was still laughing at a joke someone had made when his eyes met Amy's. She saw that they were very dark; almost black-brown. His smile grew as she arrived at the stand.

"Hi, there. I don't think we've met." He held out his hand which Amy shook.

"You must be Kai. My name is Amy." His eyes flashed in recognition.

"Ah, I've heard of you! A lot of the villagers were talking about you." He smirked and said quietly "Mostly those guys over there." He nodded to where all the single guys were hanging out in a small circle. Amy's face turned beet red, and Kai laughed. She glared at him, which just made him laugh harder.

"So what can I get for you?" he asked finally, smiling. He quickly gave her her food after she ordered, and she went to eat with Muffy, Celia, and Nami. However eyes would slide to Kai every so often. He's pretty fun she thought. He was talking to Marling and started to laugh at something he'd said. She grinned. And he's got a nice smile. Lumina came over then, interrupting Amy's thoughts, and she silently decided to think only of having fun for the rest of the festival.

By the end of the day, Amy was exhausted and quite full from all the food Kai had served. Almost everyone had left, and her and Kai were now sitting on the shore, laughing and talking. Amy checked her watch realized she soon had to get ready to see Skye.

"I have to go Kai." She said standing and brushing sand from her skirt.

"Okay. Want me to walk you home?" Amy glanced at him in surprise.

"Oh. Sure, okay." As they walked to her ranch, they talked of how they'd each grown up, and Amy felt that he was going to be good friend of hers.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Kai said. Amy nodded, hand on the doorknob, eager to get inside. Her mind at the moment was filled to the brim with thoughts of seeing Skye.

Kai hesitated, but finally left with a wave. As soon as he was out of sight, Amy dashed inside and began to get ready. She put on a white skirt, a purple shirt that matched her eyes, and a silver bracelet. Smiling, she dashed to the edge of town, arriving just after 10.

She watched the entrance to the valley impatiently, eager to see his face, and hear his voice. She'd been this way a lot lately. She sighed, frustrated, wondering where he was, when she felt something on her shoulder.

"Good evening, beautiful." Amy jumped when she saw Skye's face right next to hers.

"W-where did you come from?!" he pointed up a tree brance, extending from the oak near the bridge.

"Why didn't you come down?" she frowned, irritated that he'd made her wait.

"I'm afraid I was so captivated by your beauty, I found it difficult to move." Amy blushed at the comment, but quickly turned so he wouldn't see.

"Honestly Skye, I've told you before, I won't fall your flattery." Of course, she already had. She glanced at him to see he was rolling his eyes.

"And I've told you that it's not flattery. I mean it in every way." She blushed again, and kept her face turned away. They both sighed, then looked at each other and grinned.

"So there was a festival today, correct?" Amy nodded. "Did that boy arrive?" Amy smiled and nodded again.

"You mean Kai? Yes he did, and he's really nice! I started talking to him, and we were instantly friends!" she chattered, not noticing Skye's slight frown. "He even walked me home, which I thought was really sweet." After she said that she did notice his face. "What's wrong?" he turned his head away.

"Nothing." He muttered something under his breath, and Amy thought she picked out the word "competition".

"Competition? What are you talking about?" Skye's brow furrowed.

"It's….Well apparently I have some competition now. With Kai around." Though his face was still turned, she could see that his face was red. Oh my gosh….Is he jealous?

"Oh." She said, and started to laugh "Oh."

"It's not funny." Skye muttered. Amy covered her mouth to muffle the sound, then hugged Skye, surprising him. She'd hugged him from behind, so her face was buried in his back, hiding her blush.

"There's no competition Skye. Trust me." Although she couldn't see it, Skye slowly smiled. He turned around then to hug her back.

"Only if you trust and believe me when I compliment you." Amy grinned.

"Deal."

A/N: Yaaaaay, Kai has come into the picture, and Skye got jealous! So kawaii!
