Midnight stroke and Skye only opened his eyes slowly.
He didn't know what had happened when he got knocked out and his head only looked down to see a knocked out Pony under him.
The thief blinked repeatedly and suddenly looked down to see that his towel was gone.
A wind of embarrassment then collided with his body and he felt his entire face grow neon red.
Skye was in deep panic.
" WHAT DID I DO?"
He timidly got off of Pony and put on a violet robe.
Luckily, Pony didn't wake up yet; however, her eyes were struggling to open.
Skye was hoping he didn't do anything to her that he regretted and he only watched her gentle eyes open up slowly.
" W-What h-happened..?" Pony questioned him weakly and Skye helped her up.
It was a good thing Pony didn't seem to remember what she saw last night.
Skye chuckled nervously, " Uh, I'm not really sure, hehe."
"Oh."
Skye mumbled to himself, " What time is it, I wonder?"
Pony only shrugged and she looked down to her watch on her to wrist to see that the time was around midnight.
" It is about midnight," Pony exclaimed.
" Oh, I see. Are you feeling better, sweetheart?" Skye questioned her in his seductive voice and felt her head.
The brunette nodded.
After that comment Skye made, both of them just kept standing there awkwardly and only stared at each other.
Pony's face expression was emotionless.
Skye was trying to figure out something to say.
Pony then raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked him, " Why are you wearing a robe?"
The attractive boy only winced and his face started to heat up in neon red once again.
He felt like his words would tremble out of his mouth; however, he was not going to show Pony his nervousness.
" Um, I got cold."
Pony nodded.
" Looks like its still raining. Guess I won't be going to the valley tonight," Skye stated and yawned.
" Why?"
" I don't come to the valley on rainy days."
" Oh."
Skye started chuckling, " I love how your so shy."
" I'm not trying to be."
" Then how come you barely say anything to this handsome face?"
" What else is there to say?"
The thief smirked once again and only licked his lips in response.
" Your lips must be dry," Pony told him in her usual monotone tone.
" Want to make them moist?" Skye questioned her smirking and stepped closer to her.
" Um, sure?"
Skye's face started to lean in towards her lips and he whispered, " Good choice."
" What are you doing?"
" You'll see," Skye giggled as he then placed a hand onto her cold face and whispered in her ear, " Close your eyes."
" Why?"
" You'll see."
" But why?"
" Cause I said so."
" Why?"
" Beautiful, just please close your eyes," Skye whispered into her ear once again.
" I don't want too."
" Trust me, after this, you'll be wanting to close your eyes even more and more," Skye told her and started to laugh.
" Is that why you close your eyes so much?"
Skye only sighed at the lack of emotion in her voice and it seemed like she was feeling no emotion at all.
Whenever I try to be romantic with this maiden, it always backfires like the pieces of a broken heart. Why is that? Skye questioned himself.
" Hey, Skye?"
" What is it lovely?"
" Can I touch your hair?"
Skye's face instantly turned neon red and replied awkwardly, " U-Uh... You can touch my hair anytime."
" Cool."
Pony started to run her hands through his hair smoothly and giggled.
He was starting to feel uncomfortable and muttered to her, " Why do you want to feel my hair? Well, I guess the answer is always obvious. After all, what girl could resist my hair?"
" It looks cool," Pony commented and smiled.
She stopped stroking his hair.
Skye only sighed again and thought, Can't she at least flirt back? Its like she ignores every romantic thing I say and acted as if I never said anything. Maybe shes not...interested.
A frown started to form on the thief's face and Pony saw his frown.
" Whats wrong?" Pony questioned him concern and she placed her hand on Skye's shoulder.
" I can't have such a lovely maiden worry about me," Skye told her and faked a smile.
Pony shook her head.
Skye decided to change the subject, " So, do you like anyone yet?"
" I...I don't know," Pony told him nervously and started to play with her fingers.
" Oh? So, you might be starting to like someone?" Skye asked smirking and she took her hand off his shoulder.
She didn't know why she started to feel butterflies in her stomach when he asked her that questioned.
Was it true?
Was she really starting to like someone?
Pony bit her lip in nervousness, " I-I wouldn't know. I've only been here for so long."
" Do you believe in love at first sight?"
" Um..."
Skye moved closer to her again, " I do."
" Um," Pony muttered awkwardly, not looking into his eyes, and changed the subject, " Can you walk me home? I want to work on my ranch right now."
" You want to work on it so late? Its dangerous for a maiden like you to be working up at night all alone," Skye explained to her in concern.
" I'll be fine," Pony insisted.
" Okay. But I still don't approve of this," Skye muttered and huffed annoyed.
" Okay, then I'll walk home alone."
Pony started to walk out of the room.
" W-Wait! I can't let you leave all by yourself," Skye shouted and followed her into the other room.
Pony paused, " That reminds me," and she then bit her lip and asked, " Wheres my skull I gave you?"
Skye's sweat dropped, " Uh, well, you see... It is located in one of my other hideouts."
Pony just nodded and walked out the door.
The silver haired man only winced and followed her out the door.
Now the both of them were trying to walk out of this pitch black dark cave and they could barley see anything.
" Pony, hold my hand so we don't get lost," Skye offered and held out his hand.
" Okay."
Pony tried to find his hand in the darkness and she finally grabbed it.
Both of them continued to walk hand in hand and a spider suddenly started to crawl on Pony's arm.
Skye's emerald eyes saw the spider and shouted to Pony, " There is a spider on your arm! Here, I'll get it for you!"
Pony only blinked.
She picked up the spider from her arm and placed it on the palm of her other hand.
" Its so cute," she giggled and started petting the spider.
Pony had her gloves on so the spider couldn't bite her.
" Your not scared?"
The brunette shook her head.
Skye grinned, " You are a very interesting girl."
Pony put the spider down gently on the ground and muttered, "Thanks."
Within a few minutes, the two were walking by Vesta's farm and the rain was getting them soaked.
They both saw Rock randomly walk right in front of Vesta's window and it seemed that Rock was in his pajamas and his eyes were closed.
The window was right next to Marlin's bed where the dark haired man was sleeping.
Rock started to shout in his sleep angrily, " Elvis, I know you took my hair gel!"
Marlin's eyes slowly started to open as he looked up to his window to only see the face of Rock.
He only screamed in surprise and shouted, " Rock, get away from my house!"
Skye's eyes widen as he realized that Rock was sleep walking.
" Lets get away from him while we can," Skye told Pony as his sweat dropped.
Pony nodded in approval as the two started to walk faster towards her ranch.
The thief seemed to forgotten that he was still holding Pony's hand.
" You can let go now," Pony mumbled tiredly and yawned.
Skye looked down to their locked hands.
A smirk only appeared on his face as he whispered, " But what fun is that?"
" My hands are getting sweaty," Pony complained.
Skye sighed, " Oh okay."
He let go of her hand.
The two young adults were now walking towards Pony's tiny house and both of them stopped as soon as they reached her front door.
" Thank you for walking me home."
" Oh, no need for thanks. I would never let such a beautiful maiden walk here by herself," Skye told her chuckling.
" Thanks."
" Well, I'll see you tomorrow. The stars say so," Skye told her and winked.
Pony nodded.
" Well...bye."
Skye started to walk away as he sighed in defeat at trying to make a romantic departure.
A few hours later, Pony had finished all of her ranch chores, at like one in the morning.
She harvested her turnips, fed her cow, received eggs from her chicken, and went to bed.
Pony woke up at ten in the morning, when she heard a knock on her door.
The brunette got up grumpily, and opened the door.
A boy with a purple bandanna, tanned skin, and hazel eyes was at the door.
" Hi, my name is Kai. I just wanted to let you know that I come here every summer to run my stand at the beach. I heard your name is Pony, right?"
Pony nodded.
" Heh, the rumors were true. You are pretty cute. Haha, just kidding," Kai told her and started laughing.
Suddenly, Rock stormed right into her ranch angrily and shouted at Kai, " Kai! I told you to stay away from my Babe!"
" I'm just introducing myself," Kai replied in a calm tone.
Rock continued to shout at him," Well, stick to that pink haired chick and leave my Babe alone!"
Kai only clenched his fists and defended back infuriated, " Don't tell me what to do!"
As the two males continued to fight, Pony went right back into her house, and went back to sleep.
Hours later, Pony heard another knock on her door.
She got out of bed and opened her door to only see this yellow Harvest Sprite at the door.
" The other sprites found a Blue Feather and won't stop fighting over it! So, I'm giving it to you! It says whoever possesses this awesome thing, will have something wonderful happen! Take good care of it!," the yellow sprite stated and handed Pony this Blue Feather, and he suddenly vanished.
Takakura suddenly walked up to Pony and saw that she was holding a Blue Feather in her hands.
" Where did you buy that from?" He questioned.
Pony only gave him a confused expression.
" Around here, Blue Feathers are really rare, and expensive. You use them in proposal, like you would use a ring. Give it to the one you love and they say you'll have the greatest luck with your partner. You sure are lucky," Takakura explained and walked away.
Her violet eyes stared down to the feather and wondered who her future husband would be.
Thing is, she didn't really like anyone so far; however, why was her heart telling otherwise?
