I sighed and looked at my now empty field as the wind blew through my hair. Today was the first day of Fall. I spent all day yesterday de-weeding my field and sickling my Summer crops, and now I have to spend all day today planting and watering new crops. I re-positioned my rucksack, then set off for Souffle Farm. As I got closer to Prailine Forest, I could hear the echo of an axe hitting against the trunk of a tree.

I smiled, knowing it was Luke. I walked into the forest and followed the sound. After about five minutes, I finally saw him. He was facing away from me, totally focused on the tree he was chopping. I tapped his shoulder, but he didn't turn around. I tapped him again, but he still didn't turn around.

I put my hands on my hips, and shouted, "Luke!" He swiftly turned, swinging his axe in the process. I ducked just in time.

"Oh hey, Angie!" He greeted cheerfully. He saw me glaring at him, and got a confused look on his face. "What?" he asked.

I looked at him with disbelief. "Are you trying to kill me?"

Luke quickly shook his head. "No, I would never try to kill you! You're too special to me!"

I chuckled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Aw, you're so sweet! But you owe me now."

Luke sighed and said, "Fine. What do I have to do?"

"You have to help me with my farmwork today. I have a big empty field, and it needs to be filled with tons of seeds. So that means a lot of hoeing, planting, and watering. Not to mention feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs." Rose layed some eggs after a week, so now I have four more chickens.

Luke 'pfft-ed' and waved his hand. "Okay. Let's go get some seeds!" He grabbed my hand and swung our arms back and forth. I laughed and we skipped to Souffle Farm singing 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow'.

We burst through the doors, and I announced, "I am here to buy seeds! Gimme seeds, Anissa!"

Anissa rolled her eyes and smiled at me. "No, you're here to buy teddy bears," she said sarcastically.

"Ooh, do you have teddy bears?" I joked.

"What seeds would you like?" Anissa grinned.

"Four bags of yams, four bags of pumpkins, two bags of blue mist flowers, and-"

"Ten bags of spinach!" Luke interrupted, pumping his fist in the air.

"Really?" I asked him, shaking my head. "I was thinking fifteen." Luke's eyes lit up and Anissa grabbed all of the seed bags.

I gave her the money, and Luke and I were on our way. When we got to my farm, I told Luke to pick up the eggs while I plant a few seeds. He shrugged and went into the coop. I managed to plant a few seeds before I got interrupted by a yelp and loud clucks. I worriedly looked over at the coop, where Luke was running out with a chicken on his head, flapping its wings. The rest of my chickens ran out behind him,
and started running around my farm.

I dropped my watering can and rushed over to help Luke get Lilly off his head. After a few minutes of struggling, I finally managed to pry her off his head. I placed her on the ground, and she ran off to the others. The others seemed to have calmed down, and were now grazing around my field. I sighed and turned to Luke, who grinned nervously and held up and egg.

I giggled, shaking my head, and gave him my hoe and a bag of pumpkin seeds "Plant. Now. I'll handle the chickens." He nodded, and started hacking at the dirt. I sighed, and started feeding my chickens. When Luke was done, he whistled and layed down in the grass.

"Man, Angie," he said. "I didn't know how hard this was. I'm starting to respect you more." I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrows at him. He shook his head and put his hands up. "Not that I didn't respect you a whole lot before, I was just sayin'. You have a hard job."
I slowly nodded and looked around. He did a very good job.

I grinned, and was about to congratulate him when I saw the leaves taking over my lawn. I walked over to him, lied down next to him,
and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"If that's how your going to pay me then I should help you with your farm more often," he said, flashing a smile at me. I smiled back and kissed his lips this time.

"Well you just stay here and rest while I rake the leaves," I said, patting his head. He nodded and I stood up. I dusted myself off, grabbed the rake I kept on the side of my mouth, and started raking all the leaves. Luke told me about the time he, Dale, and Bo went camping when he was thirteen to entertain me.

"...And then when I looked up, I saw this giant hawk, So I told dad to look up. And when he did, the hawk pooped all over his face, and then Bo and I started laughing our butts off! But dad was so steamed! His face was so red and he started yelling at the bird and shaking his fist.
Then he turned to me and chased me around for an hour!"

I burst out laughing and held my sides. After I finally calmed down, I looked over my work. All the leaves were in a huge pile in the corner of my field, and my lawn was leaf-free. Luke looked at the pile, and jumped up.

"Aw, cool!" He exclaimed. He started running, then leaped into the pile of leaves I just raked. The leaves scattered across my field and lawn,
like they were before. I gaped at Luke.

"What?" He asked, smiling at me. I uttered gibberish, then sighed. Then I shrugged and jumped in the little pile that was left.

"Woo-hooooooo!" I shouted and I landed in the leaves.

Luke and I laughed, and I looked into his amber eyes. Suddenly, I got a warm feeling in my stomach, my heart started beating about ten times faster, and I could feel my face heating up. What was this? I've never felt this way before. Luke blushed, too, and helped me up. The sun was starting to set in the distance. Wow, I didn't realize it was so late.

"Well," I started. "You've done good work today, young student. You may return to your home."

Luke held out his hand to me and smiled. "Can I walk the teacher home first?"

I giggled and interlocked my fingers with his. We started walking to my door, but we were taking a really long time, walking in slow motion like in a movie when they're showing and awesome and bad-ass character. He gave me a kiss and wished me a good night, then slowly walked back to the carpentry.

I felt sad like I usually do when he left, but this time I felt the need to call him back and hug him. It felt like a part of me was missing as I watched him go. I sighed and walked into my house. After dinner, I went to sleep almost immediately, and dreamt of Luke and his stunning eyes.
