CHAPTER 3!

Sorry For my spelling of "Renee" guys. It aggravates me when other people don't spell words right. So I apologize if I do.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harvest Moon: ToT or the characters!

Luke's POV

The sun shone through my window. My eyes opened and I hopped out of bed. Today's the day!

"The bet begins in 2 hours." I took a quick shower and got some breakfast. Dad made some pancakes and left me some on the counter. I gobbled them up and made my way to Akari's house. There she was. Watering her crops.

"Hey!" she looked up. She had a huge evil smile on her face.

"Hey Luke! Are you ready?"

"To win? Of course! Are you ready to lose?"

"Excuse me? You don't know what I have in mind for our dear 'friend' Gill." She rubbed her hands together all evil-like.

"What?"

"I can't tell you Luke!"

"Fine..."

"Ready to lose?"

"I think that questin is, are yo-"

"Ready to win? Yepp!" I rolled my eyes.

"The game starts in 30 minutes. I'll see ya at Town Hall!" I waved good bye and started heading towards the Town Hall.

I started setting up for my prank. I was going to glue Gill's butt to his chair. That was just a beginner. I'll give him a small break before I do anything else. The Clock tower rung and the clock stuck 12. It was noon. I opened up 2 bottles of industrial glue and poured them into his chair. I then waited behind the desk. I heard the door open and someone tip-toed in. I glanced up and it was Akari. She didn't notice me. She was carrying small boxes of something. And, was that a bucket? I'm not quite sure though… she walked up stairs.

Gill walked in not to much longer after Akari did. He set his folders of files on his desk. This was going to be great! I just wish he'd hurry up and sit! I didn't want the glue to dry. He got a cup of water and walked upstairs. Where Akari was! She was going to pull a prank on him! I had to see it! I waited and after a few minutes I snuck upstairs. I hid under one of the tables. Gill was looking out one of the windows and going through files. I saw Akari come out from behind one of the book cases and make her way to the door. She wrapped it with saran wrap. The whole door! What could she be doing with that?

"There are to many books out!" Gill yelled. Akari froze. She watched him and made sure he wasn't going to turn around. She walked underneath the fire alarm and pulled out a lighter. She let it catch flame and held it close. The alarm went off and the sprinklers came on. Akari hid behind the bookshelf and watched Gill panic. He grabbed what files he could and sped towards the door. He ran into the saran wrap and was sent backwards! As soon as he hit the ground Akari threw the huge bucket of water on him and tossed a blanket on him! I don't know why she did that though… kind of stupid if you ask me… she then ran towards the saran wrapped door and cut it open with a pocket knife and ran out laughing! She was escaping! I got up and tried to run.

"And just where do you think you are going Luke?" I shoved him out of the way and ran like hell.

"Luke! You'll get paid back! Trust me! You will rue this day!" I ignored most of what he said. What was he going to do?

I made it outside of the Inn where I saw Akari on the ground laughing. Did she really just out prank me? ME? I'm Luke! The greatest prankster of all! How did this little girl just beat me? No one has ever beaten me! I'll have to prank her sometime. Soon. Akari must have noticed my expression.

"What's wrong Luke? Are you sad that I just kicked your ass in pranks?" She kept laughing. She started crying.

"Okay, Akari. You win. But this isn't over, alright? This is GOING to happen again and I WILL beat you!"

"Do you really want to see a repeat of what just happened?"

"Shut up…"

"Okay, Luke! I won! Now, you owe me."

"What do you mean?"

"Luke, it was a bet. Which means the loser owes the winner! So, you owe me, punk!"

"Well, what do you want?" She looked around and then I heard her tummy make a funny noise. I smiled and laughed.

"Well, 'Winner', would you like to eat at the Inn? My pay!"

"Certainly!" We linked arms like we always did and walked into the Inn. That's when I saw her. She had beautiful tan skin. She was dancing. She was hot!

"Luke, are you okay?" I didn't even see Chase walk over here.

"Yea, I'm fi-"

"You're drooling!" I wiped my chin.

"I am not Akari!"

"Whatever."

"Can we just get something to eat?"

"Sure, right this way guys." We were seated close to where the girl was dancing. I couldn't help but stare. Chase placed the menus on our table.

"What will it be, Idiot?"

Silence.

"Luke!" Akari hit me on my shoulder.

"What?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Her… I mean, ummm, anything with spinach will do." I closed the menu and gave it back to Chase. Akari was rolling her eyes.

"Who is she?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Selena. She's the new dancer. Why don't you go talk to her? I'll keep Akari busy." He winked at me. What did that mean?

"Okay…" I got up and started making my way over to her. That's when it all happened.

"LUKE! COME BACK!" I turned to see Chase laughing and Akari giving me a mean look.

"Ummm, what?" Chase pointed down and started busting out laughing. I looked down to see, well, umm, something pointing out, that was very noticeable below my waist. I covered it with my hands and ran out. I heard Akari start to laugh.

Well, that was quite embarrassing.

Akari's POV

"What will it be Idiot?"

Luke didn't say anything. He just kept making googly eyes at that tramp! Someone should tell her to put some clothes on. It was disgusting!

"Luke!" I hit him on his shoulder.

"What?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Her…" I rolled my eyes. "I mean, umm, anything with spinach will do." he closed the menu and shoved it into Chase's arms.

"Who is she?" Luke asked.

"Selena. She's the new dancer. Why don't you go talk to her? I'll keep Akari busy." he winked. I couldn't help but blush a little.

"Okay…" Luke got up and started to make his way over to her. What a pig.

That's when Chase started busting out laughing

"LUKE! COME BACK!"

"Ummm, what?" Chase pointed down and Luke followed the direction of his point. I looked down. And there was Luke's, 'item', waking up? Luke covered it with his hands and ran out. Chase and I started laughing our ass's off! I couldn't help it! Serves him right. Pig.

After about 30 minutes of laughing, Chase helped me up and smiled at me.

"That was very entertaining!" He laughed again. As did I. He looked in my eyes. He was very gorgeous. Not Luke handsome, but close. He brushed my hair out of my face.

"I-I got t-to go…"

I turned and walked out.

"Akari, you're an idiot…" Well, I was.

I walked home, just thinking. Luke is apparently going crazy over that Selena whore… Maybe I should give Chase a chance? I don't know…

It's been a week since the 'Luke accident' and I haven't seen or heard from him since. I've walked past the carpenter's many times when going to see Renee and Kathy. I was to scared to go in. I didn't know if Luke was still embarrassed or what. I was going to wait for him to come to me. If that ever happened. I started watering my crops and that's when I heard,

"AKARI! Where ya been, bud?" it was Luke! I couldn't hold my smile back! I missed him sooo much!

"Luke!" I ran, jumped on him, and gave him a huge hug!

"LUKE! I MISSED YOU! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

I wasn't gonna let go of him.

"AKARI! GET OFF!"

"NOT UNTILL YOU TELL ME!" we tumbled to the ground. Him landing on top of me, of course!

"Are you okay Akari?"

"I-'m F-fine…"

"What's wrong?"

"…"

"Akari?" he looked down to see that he was on top of me.

"Oh, Goddess! I'm sooo sorry!" he got up and gave me a hand. He then picked me up and twirled me around.

"LUKE! STOP IT!" I laughed.

After we played around for a little bit we went inside my house to get something to drink. I grabbed two glasses and poured orange juice in them. I handed it to him as I sat on the couch beside him.

"So…"

"What's up, Akari?"

"Nothing."

A few moments of silence passed us.

"Where have you been Luke? It's been to long…"

"I was home…"

"Ohh…"

"Guess what?" My curiosity got the best of me.

"What?"

"I, Luke, have a date with Selena tomorrow at the Inn at 7! I finally talked to her! She's sooo great! You don't even know Akari! She's just sooo amazing!" He had the hugest smile on his face. He was truly happy. Why did that bother me? I was just attracted to Luke. NOTHING else!

"T-that's… a-awesome, Luke. I hope you have fun. Hey, I really have to get back to the farm. I'll see ya around okay?"

"Akari, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! Hahaa! I just have a lot of work to do."

"Uhh, okay. Bye Akari." He gave me a hug and then left. I fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with me?"

Luke's POV

"It's almost 7!" I smiled so huge! I was sooo excited! My date with Selena! She was sooo hot! I couldn't wait to see her! She had such tan skin! She was sooo sexy! I just hope she never heard of the 'incident' at the Inn the other day…

I made my way towards the Inn. I walked in and there she was. Waiting for me. The most sexiest girl in town and she waiting for me! Man, I'm sooo lucky!

"Hey, Luke! You're on time!"

"Yea, I wouldn't miss this for anything!" she laughed. Her laugh was even hot!

Chase led us to our seats and we sat down. After we ordered, it was kind of silent. I had to lighten the mood.

"So, Selena, where are you originally from?"

"Toucan Island. Have you ever heard of it? It's not to far from here."

"I've heard people talk about it before. I never new it was an actual place!"

"Okay…?"

"What's it like there?"

"Sunny, beautiful, warm. Makes this town look like crap." Well, that was kind of mean.

"Here you go guys! Here's your food!" Chase placed our food in front of us. He stood there and just looked at me.

"Can I help you?"

"Luke, I was wondering… do you think you could talk to Akari for me?"

"Sure! About what?" He stared blankly at me.

"Can you hook us up?"

"Sure!"

"Thanks man! You aren't so bad after all!" He patted me on the back and smiled. I watched as he went back to the kitchen. If I only I knew what 'hooking up' meant. I looked back to Selena.

"Who's Akari?"

"She's my best friend! She's really great! You'd love her!"

"The girl you were with the last time?"

"Yea, That's her!"

"Cool." She started eating her salad. She was so tiny! I don't know why she didn't gain some wait. She didn't need a salad. She still had a rockin' body though.

After we ate, I walked her to her bedroom in the upstairs of the inn.

"I had a great time tonight, Luke."

"Me too!"

…

"Well, aren't you going to kiss me?"

"Uhh, yea!" I leaned in and started kissing her. She started putting her tongue in my mouth. I did it back.

"OKAY! Luke, stop! That's to much!"

"Okay, goodnight?"

"Goodnight." she walked to her room and slammed her door shut.

"Man, that was AWESOME!"

So, How bout it? not the best. But it WILL get better! Reviews?
