Chapter Six- Heartbroken

When Cody woke up the next morning, he thought of nothing but what he would be doing this noon. Breaking up with Muffy. He really hated to do it, she was sweet and all, it was just that he was in love with Keria instead. Cody decided that he would break it to her gently and softly. He would also tell her the truth about Griffin, that Griffin really liked her. When Cody was done with breakfast, he fed his animals and watered his crops. He also spent a few minutes petting his dog and his cat, dreading what would come next. Then Cody picked one of Muffy's favorite flowers, and a pretty blue one that would be for Keria. Then Cody went off to the Blue Bar, dragging his feet. Finally, he reached it. He slowly opened the door and looked inside. There, behind the counter, was Muffy and Griffin, lip-locked. When Muffy saw Cody, she swirled around.

"Cody! Wait, it's not what it looks like! Well, ok, it is. Griffin told me that the only reason he was giving me such light jobs and treating me so nicely was because he loved me, not because he thought I was just a pretty face. I'm sorry Cody, but, I really don't feel the same way about you as you do about me. We're over, sorry." But Cody just laughed.

"That's funny, Muffy, I was just about to break up with you because I'm in love with someone else, too. Anyway, I'm off to see her now. Oh, here, you can have this. You and Griffin make a good couple. Bye!" Cody handed her the pink flower, and walked out of the Blue Bar, feeling much happier. Then Cody went to Ruby's Inn were he met Keria.

"Hi, Keria. I brought you this." Cody handed her the pretty blue flower.

"Oh, thank you Cody! It's beautiful!" And Keria gave him a light, friendly hug.

"Guess what, cousin?" She said jokingly. Cody laughed.

"What's up, cos?" He asked, playing along.

"You know Ruby's son, Rock?" Now Cody was starting to get nervous.

"What about him?"

"Well, yesterday when I checked into the Inn, we talked and then- he asked me out!" She said happily.

"Oh. That's nice. When's the date?" Cody was heartbroken. His dream girl was dating another man.

"This Friday. Do you and Muffy want to come on a double date with us?" She asked.

"Um, no. Actually me and Muffy are over. But thanks anyway." And with that Cody ran out of the building, his heart tearing him to pieces. What was he to do? He had to win Keria back, somehow. So he went home and got out his book of 101 Facts about Girls and Dating. He flipped through the pages. He found a page on reverse- psychology. According to this, he had to find a way to make her jealous. Like dating another girl. So Cody looked in the mirror, tried to straighten his messy hair, and trotted out of the door, seeking a new girlfriend to make Keria jealous. Still, he was a little depressed, but he convinced himself that it wouldn't be long before Keria was back in his arms, where she belonged. It wasn't long before Cody realized he didn't know who Keria would be jealous of. So, he sat down on a bench not far from Vesta's farm, and thought. Well, she would have to be almost as pretty as Keria, and her and himself would have to look cute together. She would have to be willing to go to the festivals, especially the romantic ones. Also they would have to get along in order for himself and his new girlfriend to be the town's honorary Couple of the Year. Cody made a mental list of all the town's bachelorettes.

Nami, Muffy, Flora, Leia, the Harvest Goddess, the Witch Princess, and Celia. Well, Nami is a little too much of a loner. Muffy was dating Griffin. Flora was a little too... brainy. Leia was a mermaid living in Daryl's basement, besides, no one but Daryl and himself knew about her. The Harvest Goddess was too hard to please. Cody had already told the Witch Princess he wasn't interested. That left... Celia! She was fairly pretty, she went to all the festivals, and best of all- she was single! Speaking of Celia, there she was now! After all, she worked at Vesta's farm.

"Oh, hi Cody! What are you doing here?" She asked kindly.

"Uhh... thinking. Hey, are you free right now? If you are, want to come with me on a stroll?" He asked, making his plan go into action. She blushed.

"Um, I'll go ask Vesta." And she hurried off into the field. She came back in about two minutes.

"Okay, Vesta said it would be fine as long as I'm back before dark." She said, her cheeks flushed. And so the two set off toward the Spring. There, they talked about farming and work. They seemed to get along well enough, anyway. After a while the sun began to set and Cody offered to walk Celia home. She agreed. Cody asked if they could stop by Ruby's Inn first, because he had to 'get something'. She agreed once again and they set off. Once at Ruby's Inn, Cody ordered some oranges to make everything look normal. But all the while he was watching Keria over in the corner. She spotted him, looked at Celia and grinned. She gave him the thumbs- up sign and then rushed upstairs to her rental room. What was that all about? Cody mentally asked himself. Suddenly Celia spoke.

"Cody? Who was that?" Cody had almost forgotten about Celia.

"Her? Oh, uh, she's my cousin, visiting from the city." He quickly covered up. She nodded and smiled, then they headed off toward Vesta's Farm. Once he had dropped Celia off, Cody headed home. He checked his animals and turned in for the day, still wondering what had happened at the Inn.

A/N So it turns out the only one heartbroken is Cody! Anyway all reviews appreciated! D
