- "The Animals need Caring" -
After a while Seth eventually woke up. It was at least 2 in the afternoon, judging by the sky and the sun's position. Seth stretched, then walked outside, blinking his eyes to adjust to the brightness.
"I can't forget my animals, now can I?"
He walked over to the field, climbing over the fence. Fiona was there, still sick. She didn't look too good...
"Are ya okay, Fiona?" Seth asked.
The cow grunted.
"You've been sick a long time..." Seth said sadly, stroking her head. "I just wish I could get you some medicine..."
He had a sudden idea.
"Hang on... I'll be back."
---
He rumaged through the tool shed.
"Come on! There at least has to be a little..."
Throwing tools aside, he dug through the storage.
"I remember putting one here before... I don't know how long ago, but I know its there!"
Without any luck, he stood shortly afterward.
"...hmmm, I suppose its not there..."
He turned to leave, and saw a jar behind the door.
"Hhmmm?"
He picked it up and read the label.
"Wha... its a miracle! Yes!"

Nami was outside the Inner Inn when Hardy showed up.
"Going to check on Seth?"
"Why, yes," Hardy said. "Why?"
"Well, to say the least, he's acting kinda weird."
Hardy scratched his neck. "How so?"
"Take a look for yourself."
Hardy sighed, walked up the hill to the farm area, and gasped.
Seth was dancing around Fiona, who had just taken the medicine.
"Yay! Fiona shall live! Woohoo!"
"Holy crap!" Hardy exclaimed.
"Told ya he was acting weird," Nami said. She had walked up next to him.
"Well, at least he seems happy," Hardy said.
"Seems?" Nami asked, giving him a look. "That says happy all over it."
"I know..." Hardy said, nodding his head. "Well, I'm going to talk to him. I'll see you around, Nami."
---
Celia was walking by, when she saw Nami coming down the hill. Celia gave her a confused look.
"What were you doing up there?" she asked.
"Seth just went all happy whacky," Nami said, passing her. "I don't know why, and really don't want to find out. Go ask him yourself."
'Whats with her today?' Celia thought questionably, watching Nami enter the Inn. 'Oh, well, I guess I have to go look...'
As she reached the top of the hillside, she saw Hardy and Seth talking by the barn. Fiona wasn't looking too sick, in fact, she seemed to be recovering...
"So, Seth, what of your other animals?" Hardy asked.
"RyuKeshu is just fine," Seth said. "I think my chickens are okay, too. I need to put them back into the coop, or they'll wander off..."
"Seth?"
They both turned and saw Celia.
"Celia? Whacha doin' here?"
"I don't know, Nami said you were acting weird," Celia said, sitting next to him. "So, whats going on, anyway?"
"Well, I found some spare medicine in my tool shed, and gave it to Fiona," Seth explained. "Take a look at her... she seems happier already."
"All animals need caring," Hardy said. "Looks like Seth does care."
Seth said nothing.
"Wow, Seth, nice too see ya so happy again," Celia said with a smile.
"Yeah, well," Seth said. "Like you all said... things get better."
Seth turned away. He had began to understand Celia's feelings... she cared for him... even whe he was a total jackass, she still worried about him... the only other woman who cared for him as much had been Muffy... but could it be...
Now that he thought about it, Celia was a good woman. Seth had began to take a liking to her, the way she did him.
"Uh... I guess I'd better go get the chickens," Seth said, standing as one of the ran by.
As he began to chase the chicken, Hardy and Celia talked.
"Wow, he does seem better," Celia said.
"Yeah," Hardy said, taking notes on his clipboard. "Man, oh man, wait 'till I tell Galen tonight."
"Tonight?" Celia asked.
"Galen runs the Blue Bar, remember? I go there nearly every night."
"Oh, yeah," Celia said, remembering. "Well, I'd better be off. Vesta wants me to sell these crops to Van for some money."
"Well, I'll see ya soon," Hardy said. "I'll stay here with Seth once he's done with the... chickens... yeah. Bye!"
