~ "Thoughts" ~
The next Day Seth woke up to barking from Jake.
"Wha-?" He looked at the bedside clock. It read '3:39.'
"Damnit, Jake," he muttered as he got out of bed and rubbed his eyes. What was causing the commotion?
He stepped outside. Jake was in front of the house, facing the north woods.
Barking at something that was obviously up there...
"Ssssssh, Jake, it's okay," Seth said, rubbing Jake's ears.
But Jake kept on barking.
"Shut up!" Seth shouted.
Jake finally looked at Seth, then fell silent and whimpered.
Seth looked around, took his sickle, and began to walk up the path to the spring.
---
As Seth entered the woods, everything looked fine to him. He looked around. Nothing there.
But then he took a closer look.
Something white and hairy was moving around... it was too dark to clearly see it.
"Huh?" Seth raised his sickle. "Who's there?"
Some rustling was heard behind him, and suddenly-
"MUKA MUKA!!!!"
"Waaaaah!"
Seth was tackled by some hairy white thing. He realized what it was, and began to laugh.
"Ha ha ha! Mukumuku, you hairy carpet!"
The white haired beast looked at Seth with calm dark eyes. "Mukamuka!"
Seth sighed with relief. "Jake was barking. I thought something was up-"
He fell silent. Looking behind Mukumuku, he realized something else was up there with them.
It was Murrey. But he didn't look like himself. His face was kind of red, and his eye pupils were rather smaller than usual.
"Murrey?" Seth said cautiously.
"W-who is it?" came his voice.
"Me... Seth," Seth said.
"Muuuuukamuka!" Mukumuku grunted.
"Oh... I-I thought there would b-be more... food," Murrey muttered.
"Are you okay?"
"Huh?" Murrey acted confused. "...eh... oh! Sure."
"You look kind of... red."
"I-it's okay," Murrey said uncertainly. "Must be an allergic r-reaction or s-something."
Seth looked uncertain himself. "Well, I'd better get to bed... night, Murrey."
"G-good night."
---
Seth awoke late that morning, he had to rush to water his crops and care for the animals. Soon enough, around 10, he was able to get into town.
"Hola! Seth!"
It was Rock again.
"Hey, Rock," Seth said. He was still tired after the events earlier that morning.
"You look tired... you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, Jake woke me up with his barking," Seth said.
"So that WAS him barking," Rock said.
"Yeah. So, whats up?"
"Nothing. You?"
Seth saw Murrey passing. "Have you noticed Murrey? He looks kind of... odd."
Rock glanced at him. "Wow. Look at his face... he's either really pissed off or hitting puberty again."
"He said it was the bug bite he got yesterday," Seth continued. "He might have a allergic reaction, or..."
"Huh..." Rock thought for a minute. "Should we see Hardy about it?"
"Nah, it oughta cool off," Seth said. "Anyway, I'll see ya later. Talk to ya later."
"Alrighty, bye."

Seth was walking by the Blue Bar, when Muffy came out.
"Hey, Seth!" she winked at him.
"Sup, Muffy?" Seth said.
They began to walk together.
"Just a few more days..." Muffy said.
"Huh? Oh, yeah," Seth was lost thinking about Murrey's problem that he had forgotten about the proposal. "Great, ain't it?"
They arrived at Ramona's Villa. The sound of a piano being played filled their ears.
"I love piano music!" Muffy said. "Who plays that good?"
"Lumina," Seth replied. "I saw her play not long ago."
"She's good!" Muffy commented.
"Yeah..." Seth looked at his watch. "Oh, crap, gotta get back to the farm."
"So soon?" Muffy's eyebrows raised.
"Yeah... I slept in this morning because Jake barked a lot and woke my up around four."
"Ah, that explains a lot. See ya!"
They kissed quickly and Seth was off.
---
Seth ran all the way back to his farm. "Aya, work!" he muttered to himself.
Takakura came out of the Food Storage as Seth was finishing up with the crops.
"Seth! Over here!"
Seth watered the last crop, and ran over to him.
"Yeah?"
"So, you want me to give Fiona the miracle potion?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, that. Yes."
"Okay. Follow me."
---
It was late afternoon. Seth was sitting on the bridge, watching the river flow gently into the ocean.
There was footsteps. Seth turned his head to see Grant walking home from work.
"You look happy," Seth said.
"Of course I am!" Grant exclaimed, adjusting his glasses. "I got promoted today! My boss let me go home early for a change."
"Sweet. Congrajulations," Seth said.
"Thank you. This calls for a drink!" Grant walked off towards the Blue Bar.
Seth went back to watching the river for a few minutes, until Takakura walked up to him.
"I think we're done for the day."
"Yeah," Seth said, getting up. "Let's go over to the Blue Bar."
