The people at mineral town were cool. Except this I met this guy who was the mayor. He was 4'4 and had a bald shiny spot right in the middle of his head. It was covered by a hat.

"Hello Miss Tami," he said in his cocky middle aged voice. "Are you here for the job?"

"I guess so, and call me Ji-" he interrupted me. "Okay great Miss Tami I'll take you on a tour then I'll show you to the farm."

'Uhh I wish I could just say NO to this guy' I thought. I accidentally said no out loud.

"What was that Miss Tami?" he said. Luckily the man was hard at hearing.

"Oh nothing." I said.

He showed me people and then took me to the farm. I talked to Zach and went to sleep.

I was gathering herbs and grasses when I saw Ann and Popuri by the spring.

"Hi, Ann Popuri. How ya guys doin?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah we're okay. We're going to be hosting a new person at our inn!" Ann said.

"His name is Cliff!" Popuri said excitedly.

"Oookaay, I'll be going now." I said then I rushed back to the farm. I saw this boy.

"Hello my name is Shinyu. I came for the job and the mayor said I could since I came from along way away." he said.

"Well my name is Jill Tami and I am here working at the farm too. I guess you'll have to stay at the inn." I said.

I went over to the mail box where he was standing. He had purple hair and slanted eyes. And a t-shirt that said 'Japan Rocks' he had a cool look.

I checked the mail there. "Bill, bill, junk, bill, crap, oh… and a note." I said as I looked through it. Then I looked at Shinyu and he just stood looking around I figured he rejected Thomas's tour. The note read,

Dear Jill,

We don't have any more room in the inn for Shinyu so he's going to have to stay at your place. The new kid is coming on Saturday and we're going to have a party for him. He's from a town not far from here. So you can bring Shinyu too the whole town is invited.

Inn Ann

P.S You can pick up the extra cot we have for Shinyu.

'Oh great I'm stuck with him for awhile.' I thought. "Come on we need to go and pick up your cot from the inn. You're staying with me." I said. I saw a weird smile on his face. "You'll be sleeping in the horse shed with lightning." I added. We went to the inn and got the cot. After we got there I set up the cot and went to sleep.

The next day …

I woke up at 6 o' clock sharp so did Shinyu. I laid out the rules and compromised with Shinyu. he decided he likes plants so he's going to farm and mine. I'm going to fish and tend to the animals. We did our duties for most of the day then went to the party.

At the party …

We were dancing to 1 2 step by Ciara. Then I decided to socialize with the people at the party.

"Hi Jill!" said Rick

"Hey, Rick you can come over later on today to take that chicken he's in good condition but he just doesn't seem him self." I said

"Hey Jill oh… uh… never mind." He said but he looked sad.

"What's a matter Rick." I asked worried.

"Oh nothing sorry I have to go." He said then ran.

'I wonder what the matter is.' I thought.

Then I saw Gray.

"Hey Gray how are you. Thanks for that tool you up graded its real cool." I said with a big smile.

"Thanks Jill you really mean it I worked real hard on it." He said bashfully.

"Yeah I can do lots of things with the fishing pole. I caught a king fish." I said.

"Thanks a lot I like having classy friends like you." He said.

Then I saw Doctor…

"Hello Dr. Tim how are you?" I asked.

"Oh good have you seen Elli yet?" he asked looking around.

"Yeah she's by the punch bowl. You know you inspire me when I was a little – "Then he started running toward the punch bowl.

Finally Cliff was although Cliff was different he was also talking to Ann. He was kinda shy towards me. "Hey Cliff! Ya like mineral town? I just came a week ago. Oh by the way my name's Jill."

"… … … Uh … Hi … Jill …"

"Oookaay I'll go to the punch bowl."

I went to the punch bowl and saw Shinyu he was talking to my best friend Karen they seemed to be getting along. I looked around and saw May and Stu dancing with my dog and Cliff and Ann still chatting. I saw Elli and Dr. Tim together and Mary and Gray. Then Rick talking with Shinyu and Karen. Popuri wasn't there though and I figured I should be leaving.

"Come on Shinyu we need to leave we have a sick animal and a big harvest tomorrow." I said pulling his hand like a 2 year old.

"Hold on Jill. Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's funny Karen you know it really is cool we met before." he said.

"Come on now Shin!" I yelled and yanking him out the door. His head hit the door looking at Karen and he was unconscious. Rick helped me carry him home. Dr. Tim helped since he needed to take care of him. Elli came then on and on until every one came except the mayor. He was pretty popular for his first week. I finally got some sleep and over slept.

I went to church and Pastor Carter told us a number of testimonies. My favorite one was about when the Christians were being captured by the Catholics. It took a lot of guts to stand against them and stand by their knowledge of the bible and their worship of God and only God.

After the service I decided to take the rest of the day off and go to the spring there I saw Karen.

"Hi Karen how are you" I asked.

"I just can't decide between these two people?" she said with a frown on.

"Who?" I asked.

"Shinyu and Rick." she said. I was shocked, 'Shinyu? Rick? Who would've known?' I thought.

"They both asked me but I don't know who to tell they're both great people."

"Well you and Rick have known each other for a while. Go with him."

"I guess your right." she said with a grin. "Thanks Jill!"

"Bye!" I said as she walked off.

I took a rest thinking if I gave the right advice or not. Then after resting in the hot springs I went to the inn. There I saw Rick.

"Hi Jill, do you want a drink?"

"Yeah but where's Karen?"

"Oh so where is she?"

"I don't know here have a couple of drinks."

"Okay." I shrugged.

Then I was on the floor. Rick must have dragged me home because I was in the bed and pretty tired. Then I woke up and there was a note left on the head of the bed.

Hi Jill,

How are you? I left a little early and thanks for the kiss. I want to talk to you. Meet me at the bench at 7:00.

Rick

What happened it was time to go and ask him at 7:00. Today.
