Ali woke up the next morning, in her bed. She still had the clothes she wore yesterday, but oh, if she could remember what happened yesterday. Then, suddenly, it came back to her. She was in the Blue Bar, she met that guy… Chris! She had to go meet him again and see what happened last night.

She didn't have to go far. As she walked outside of her room, she eyed Chris sleeping in a chair. She didn't want to wake him when he looked so peaceful, so she went over to Tak's house.

When she got there, she found Tak with another woman, making breakfast. He spun around when he saw her, and ushered her to a chair. The woman followed. Then he sat down and began to talk.

"Allison" he began "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you, but I have a family. This is my wife, Chloe."

Chloe looked at Ali and smiled warmly. She reached across the table to give Ali a hug, and then she continued where Tak left off. "I came back last night from vacation. Anyway, we have one son, Chris, and a daughter, Julia. Julia should be back for vacation. She's away at college. Ali dear, you look like a mess. Go on and take a shower, and when you come back, you can wake Chris up and come on down to breakfast."

Ali trudged her way back to her house, tiptoed by Chris, and went upstairs to take a shower. She stopped to look in the mirror. Allison looked like a train wreck. Her wavy, medium brown hair looked like a rats nest, the bags under her eyes were so big they almost touched her chin, she had an awful headache, and her eyeliner was smudged.

After Ali took her shower, she felt like a new person. She got dressed in some khaki cargo pants, and a shirt that had a Flamingo on it. She walked downstairs to find Chris petting Muffin. It was the cutest thing Ali had ever seen.

"Oh, hey Ali." Chris said "What's for breakfast? I'm hungry."

"You're dad's making it."

"Ah." He replied. "Are you ready to eat?"

The whole breakfast was spent talking, and it felt like all four of them were one big family (although 3 of them were related in the first place)

"Oh, by the way, your friends are staying with their grandparents, so if you want to go and see them, that's where they're staying" Tak said.

After breakfast, Ali and Chris started out towards the Inn holding hands.

"So, Ali," Chris began "There's a carnival comin' to town. You wanna go with me?"

"Of course" Ali said

"Cool"

"By the way," Ali said "Who are Skye and Matt's grandparents?"

"Galen and Nina"

Ali stepped up and knocked on the door to Nina and Galen's house. They heard a chair scraping, and footsteps coming to the door. It swung open to reveal Matt with a bad case of bed-head.

"Oh hey Ali," Matt said "Who are you?" Matt clearly didn't remember Chris at all.

"I'm Chris."

Skye ran to the door "Oh, oh, oh!" Skye said, jumping around and acting like an idiot. "Are you Ali's boyfriend?" Skye wasn't boy crazy, she just wanted to embarrass Ali. It worked. Ali gave her an I'm-going-to-kill-you look which only made Skye smile smugly. Matt smacked Skye her on the top of the head, which made Skye kick Matt in the shins, hard. To Ali's surprise, Chris actually said "Yeah".

"Oh" Skye said, defeated. "Well would you guys like to come in and have breakfast?"

"No thanks, we just ate" said Ali "But I'll come in anyway"

They all shuffled in, and Ali and Chris were greeted warmly by Nina.

"Ali! Chris!" Nina's was beaming from head to toe. "What a pleasant surprise!" Nina ran over and kissed each one of them on the cheek. "You must have some toast and jam; the jam's fresh you know." Nina was the sweetest, little, old lady Ali ever met, and both Chris and Ali couldn't bear to say no.

Galen pulled up 2 extra chairs, and they all sat around the table, talking and eating. When the kids were done, the got up, excused themselves, and went over to the river. They sat there a while, dangling their feet. There was an awkward silence.

"So" Matt began uncomfortably "When did you two… hook… up?"

"Well, it really wasn't like an official thing or anything, but we're going to the carnival together." Ali replied. "You guys should come with us."

"When is it?" Skye asked

"Tonight" Chris answered.

All righty folks! I've reached a writers block, plus I'm goin' on this trip tomorrow so I have to turn in early! Well, you have to review, it isn't an option. Please review! Oh yeah; if you go to there is a new Harvest Moon coming out called Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. It sounds really cool, and it isn't set in Forget-Me-Not! I'm sooooooo excited!

That's All Folks! (I know I don't own that phrase, but who cares)
