Spring 30, Monday

Jill woke up the next day. She could hear the loud banging on the house from the raindrops outside. It was raining pretty hard outside. She rolled out of bed and onto the ground. What happened last night? She wondered. Then she remembered. She had met a guy named Phantom Skye last night. Oh yes, I remember! My dream boy! She sat up on the ground and rubbed her head before standing up. Jill looked down beside her and saw that Claire was gone. Up before me? That's a first. Jill thought. She adjusted her backpack on her shoulders; she hadn't realized she kept it on. Then suddenly Claire came out of the bathroom wearing her farm outfit. Claire looked surprised to see Jill.

"Oh, good morning!" she exclaimed.

Jill just nodded. She got a loaf of bread off of the table. Once she was done eating it, she put on a rain coat and left the house. Jill broke for a run towards the animal barn. When she got inside she was already drenched with water. The cows and sheep were curled up together for warmth. Jill decided not to wash them today because that would make them cold. She put food into their food-holders and went to make sure if the animals were sick or not. Gladly none of them were. Jill left the barn and ran to the Chicken Coop. The chickens and ducks were up and walking about. They had laid a couple of eggs as well. Jill picked up the eggs and put it into her backpack and then washed and fed the chickens and ducks. When she was done with that she went back to her farmhouse.

"The mayor came," Claire said. She was sitting on the bed. "He brought the Tool box you ordered,"

"Awesome!" Jill exclaimed as she rubbed her hands together for warmth. "I think I'll go down to the bar today,"

"I'll come with you," Claire offered as she hopped off of the bed.

Jill and Claire left the house right away. They walked, no they ran down the main pathway towards the Blue Bar. It was pretty foggy out there and it seemed that the rain had started coming down even harder. They made it inside the Blue Bar. They were already soaked with water. Griffin and Muffy were behind the counter. They looked surprised to see Jill and Claire. They both walk up to the counter.

"Oh hey, Jill and Claire! You two came at a good time," Muffy said, smiling.

"Hi, Griffin, Muffy," Jill greeted them both.

"Hi. Something wrong?" Claire asked.

Muffy nodded. "There is. We just received a notice from Phantom Skye,"

Jill blushed at the sound of her dream boy's name. Jill hadn't noticed Claire glaring at her.

"This is what the note said," Griffin says. "I'm going to bless your bar with my presence at midnight for a drink. Phantom Skye," Griffin shook his head in disgust. "He certainly does love himself,"

Muffy had hearts in her eyes. "And sending a notice of his arrival makes me think he's quite confident. I kind of like that!"

Jill felt jealousy rise inside of her. Who is she to fall in love with my Skye? Jill thought. Jill saw that Griffin looked a little upset too.

"Well anyway," Griffin said. "He's a thief, so we gotta corner him!"

Muffy and Claire nodded in agreement. Jill didn't like the idea of cornering her Skye. She just wanted to stay out of their so called 'capturing him'. She just wanted to be with him…that's all.

"That's right! We'll make him pay gold for that drink!" Muffy exclaimed.

Griffin raised an eyebrow at Muffy's sudden rage. "Uh…that's not what I meant,"

Muffy laughed and smiled. "I was kidding around!" then she turned to Claire and Jill. "Do you two have some time tonight? We could really use your help to catch that arrogant thief,"

Before Jill could say anything, Claire broke in. "We'll defiantly help you out! We'd be glad to!"

Jill frowned at Claire, but kept quiet.

"Hurray!" Muffy cheered. "Thank you, Claire and Jill! We are so depending on you two!"

Griffin nods slowly. "I hope you don't mind. I appreciate it. We need you both here from 10 and 12 tonight, okay?"

Claire nods, but Jill just stays silent. They both then left forgetting about what they came there for.

Jill didn't like the idea of capturing Skye but she did want to see him though. She smiled before following Claire home.
