Complicated

Part 5- Secrets

-Disclaimer- I do not own the songs Elsie sings, or the characters from Mineral Town.

Elsie didn't want to write about Ann and herself in case someone happened to read it so she just stated the usual,

'It was hot all day, but that's not unusual. It's the middle of summer so I'm not surprised. Well, I can't think of anything to write so I'll just go to sleep.

-Summer 5th' Elsie wrote. She stuffed it under her bed this time, whipped her head around then fell asleep.

'I can think of something to write I just can't write it down,' She thought before sleep overtook her.

Elsie didn't see Cliff all morning, but she didn't care. She fed her chickens, horse, cows, sheep, dog Nike and played with him. She watered her crops then, as she was walking to the inn for some food, she spotted Ann and Cliff, together. Well, not together just talking, though Cliff did look like he was yelling.

"What?!" Cliff exclaimed.

"She won't care, she's my friend," replied Ann.

"Who do you think you are? You're a two-faced back-stabber! I'd never like you!"

"But you did before she came!"

"You've changed and I've changed!"

"So?" Ann crossed her arms. Elsie had heard from when Cliff had exclaimed to when Ann had crossed her arms.

"Ann, get a grip! He doesn't like you and probably never will like you, even as a friend, if you keep your selfish and stubbornness!" Elsie stomped over. Ann didn't get it; Ann wanted what she wanted when she wanted it, and Ann was focused on Cliff. Cliff was shocked at what Elsie said, then again he also thought Ann should have heard those words.

"Standing up for your boyfriend, are we? I thought we were friends," Ann laughed.

"Like I said, don't come crying to me when you have no friends," Elsie replied angrily.

Unhappy Ending "Elsie? I-I thought you were different," said Cliff.

"What?" Elsie asked. She hadn't expected this; she had thought Cliff would like her more. Sounds like two people misunderstood Cliff.

"I can't believe you would say that, I really did think you were different," Cliff stared at her, it made Elsie uncomfortable, and he turned away. He shed an unseen tear.

"Cliff, I didn't mean it-"

"I know what you meant,"

"No you don't, you misunderstood me!" protested Elsie.

"I understand perfectly what you are. You're just like Ann,"

"No I'm not!" pleaded Elsie. "Cliff? Please?"

"What is there left to please? I'm already gone Elsie,"

"No, Cliff, just give me a chance,"

"I can't do that Elsie," Cliff remained facing away from her; he didn't see she was crying too.

Cliff walked away, practically against his will. His side that didn't want to forgive her had taken control and wasn't leaving. The part that still wanted to forgive had been pushed aside and couldn't get up. He shed a couple more tears and walked up to his room in the inn. Elsie couldn't believe it. She was flabbergasted, stunned, speechless, surprised, dumbfounded. You name it. She was feeling it.

Cliff continued to walk the stairs, when a new feeling came over him. He realised he didn't need Elsie, like he thought he did. He was going to leave and never look back until he was disoriented.

And that was what he did, though with more style. He packed everything; even the egg Elsie had given him. He didn't know why he didn't leave it, maybe his forgiving self had overruled at that time.

Everyone waved, though Elsie didn't. She felt tears streaming her cheeks, and never raised her arm. She just looked into his eyes, hoping, praying to strike a chord, his heart. She didn't and when his boat left she turned away, unable to bear it. That was the last thing Cliff saw, Elsie's blonde, beautiful hair and stiff back.

The egg turned out to hold a chick and oddly enough he named it Elsie. Perhaps he did like her, but whenever he feels like he should return his evil side pipes up that she's probably moved on. The truth is she's hasn't, and she's still waiting for Cliff…

The Sad End

Cries

Happy Ending

Though Cliff was stunned about Elsie's reaction he thought that was what Ann needed. Someone to say she should stop thinking about herself and stop acting up. Cliff kissed Elsie in front of Ann, just to show her he didn't like her and never was and to tell Elsie that he did love her. Cliff rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a blue feather. He played with it in his hands for a few minutes, debating whether to go through with what he was going to do.

Well, he did it. They got married, Cliff didn't leave, and Ann was showed what you get for being unselfish and not stubborn. They now work on Elsie's farm and Elsie is really happy Cliff didn't leave. Though he did say one thing before marrying her,

"I'm the one who rescued you, I saved you," Cliff had admitted. Elsie had looked at him.

"I was wandering and searching and I saw you on the beach and knew I had to save you," Cliff continued. "I don't mean for this to trick you or startle you, I just thought you should know." Elsie had nodded, and smiled.

Like in all fairy tales (though this isn't one) they lived happily ever after on Elsie's farm. MOOOOO!
