O.O Wow, you guys really must want Kali to have a real dress. I got 10
reviews, and all of them said that.
Kali: ::Takes a bow:: Thank you, my adoring fans. I love you all.
Sure, well anyways, I wasn't really planning on making her wear rags, I just wanted to see what the reaction would be. . . . And I should probably be hung for not updating in so long.
Kali: ::grins and pulls rope out of pockets::
Just not by Kali. ::smile::
Kali: ::rolls eyes:: Disclaimer time! Chelle doesn't own Harvest Moon, or anything in this story or anyone! Not even ME! I own myself.
Yes, and I have the amazing authoress powers that can delete you in the tap of a single 'Backspace' button. Then you'll just be 'Kal'. Heh . . . Kal . . . ::composes self:: A little off task here, but I'm okay now. Please review because you're all my best friends!
Kali: ::runs off to story set::
Chapter 3
Okay, of course Kali and Gray didn't REALLY frolic in flowers, because somebody may have seen them and thought they were on crack or some other illegal drug. And that's not legal. Instead, Kali and Gray frolicked on over to Kai's Seaside Lodge and got cozy on the couch watching movies. Kai was supposedly out somewhere, but Kali and Gray probably could have cared less. Anyways, onto the story.
Kali shuffled through a stack of movies and tossed Gray another pile.
"Search," she commanded and separated the movies in her hands into piles.
"This is what we're doing to celebrate getting engaged? Why not something a little more . . ." Gray thought for a moment, "fun." Kali looked over at him and grinned slyly.
"If you are suggesting a roll in the hay, I'm listening to Kai on that one. Abstinence until marriage," she recited, as the verse was pretty much drilled into her head. Gray blushed a shade brighter then crimson.
"N-no, I w-wasn't," he sputtered and looked down at the videos in his hands.
"I'm sure you weren't," Kali continued as she read the video titles. "But most guys do think about screwing once every seven minutes. Or is that seven SECONDS, I don't remember."
((A/N- OMG I actually read that somewhere. Isn't that weird/gross/disturbing?! If you're a guy, please confirm with me that this is wrong!))
"But . . ." Gray started and then stopped. There was no point in trying to argue with Kali. None at all. "I wasn't suggesting that," he told her calmly. "I thought we could play a game or something. Like a board game." Kali scoffed.
"As if THAT'S fun. Hey, how about this one!" Kali shrieked and held up the movie she was holding in her hands. Gray took it from her and read the title.
"Kali, this is a home video," he said slowly. She nodded.
"I think Kai made part of it when he was here, and the other parts at home with me. I wanna see what everyone was like before I met them." Gray blinked and slowly shrugged.
"Okay whatever. Put it in." Kali pushed the video into the VCR and snuggled in next to Gray on the couch. The first picture that appeared was an eleven year old Kali in a bright pink dress and bandana. She was drawing and hadn't noticed Kai with the camera, but when she did, she lunged at him. Gray laughed as the little Kali tried to jump on Kai and missed.
"You're right, this could be good," he commented and laughed at Kali's glare. The next scene was a few years later in the Village. Kai walked around and introduced everyone to the camera. He finally reached Gray, who was sitting with Mary on a towel.
"How long were you two together," Kali asked softly as she saw the younger Gray's happy face, one that was not seen often anymore. He ground his teeth in response.
"I don't really wanna talk about it okay?" he answered dryly and watched his past self talk and smile.
"Why aren't you that happy with me?" Kali continued and looked back at Gray.
"I already am that happy with you, Kali, why wouldn't I be?" He countered. Kali thought for a moment and then stood up in front of Gray, blocking his view to the television.
"Gray, can I ask you something?"
"Fine, as long as you move when you're done," Gray mumbled and moved his view to Kali. Kali sighed.
"Gray, are you- do you- ahh here goes. . . Gray, do you still love her?" Kali asked. Gray fiddled with his hat and burst out laughing. Nervously, it seemed.
"Why would I still love her after all she's done to me?" he said and forced a laugh again. He continued to babble, but Kali noticed one thing.
He wouldn't meet her eyes.
Not once.
Kali turned her face to hide her hurt and uncertainty, and waited until Gray stopped talking. His face was slightly flushed, and he was still not making eye contact with her.
"I think you should leave," Kali whispered in a voice Gray had never heard before. Now, he met her eyes. She seemed to cover all her emotions, because her face and eyes were as blank as unused paper. Of course, if he'd bothered to look harder, he would have noticed that her hands were clenched around the bottom of her shirt, her knuckles white from squeezing so hard to keep herself from crying.
"What do you mean?" he asked nervously.
"Exactly what I said before. Leave," she said it in that same, emotionless voice that she had used before. Gray stood up slowly and walked to the door. Kali still stood in the same place as she had been before, but her hands were unclenched. Gray tossed one last look back at her before he opened the door and stepped out into the night. As soon as Kali heard the door close, she fell to her knees, still not showing much emotion.
"It was all too good to be true," she whispered to herself as she clenched and unclenched her hands. She slowly turned so she was sitting on the floor, facing the television. The movie was still running.
::::::Kali was about 13. It had been raining for a few days, and the streets were flooded. She had been sitting on the chair beside the window for hours, just looking outside. Watching. She had just broken up with her first boyfriend, and was obviously a little depressed. The smaller Kali sighed and stared out at the pouring rain. Suddenly, the floor boards behind her creaked, and Kali turned around warily. Kai stood at the door holding a box of chocolates and a video camera.
'I'm taping this,' he had told her, 'to show you how fast you can get over a lousy boy.' He had then turned the camera on and pointed it at her tear stained face. 'Now, I want you to eat every single one of these chocolates, and then I will turn this off.'
The camera had recorded Kali's grimace, and had kept rolling while she ate every chocolate in the box. When she finally finished, she dropped the empty box on the floor.
'Okay, are you happy?' she had asked Kai grimly. He grinned at her.
'Noooo. Not until you smile,' he mused. Kali had rolled her eyes and then turned back to the window. Kai sighed and set the camera down on the floor, forgotten and still recording. He walked over to Kali and wrapped his arms around her still form and squeezed for all that he was worth. Kali sniffled and hugged him back.
'I love you Kali, just remember that. I'm always here for you,' he had told her. Suddenly, her life seemed much better.
'Thanks Kai,' she had whispered back, 'I really needed to hear that. Someday though, I hope I fall in love.' That's when the camera had run out of room to record on and turned itself silently off. ::::::
Kali's mouth was open in an 'O' of shock as the screen suddenly went blank. Her tears ran unnoticed on her cheeks as she thought back to that day. She wiped her eyes and blinked a few times.
"It's the same as before," she said to herself, "I still will find someone, and I can fall in love again. Gray might just not be the one; he might just be an obstacle that I need to get through. But Kai is here to help me through this, and I will be okay." Just as Kali finished her inspirational self-assuring speech, Kai burst through the door.
"Kali, what . . ." he started, but was cut off as she threw herself on him and sobbed into his shirt.
"It's alright," he whispered to her, "everything's gonna be okay, I'm here for you." Kali nodded into his neck and sobbed harder, hoping that that would be the case.

Kali: ::rushes back off stage and wipes away tears:: Ahhh yes, we all love sibling cuteness.
