Summer 1, Tuesday

The next morning, Jill woke up on the floor. Claire was still sleeping in bed. Jill sat up and looked at her watch on her wrist. It read 6:03am. She yawned before rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She started to think about last night. Claire had met Skye for the first time that night and she seemed to like him just as Jill did. Jill frowned. No one was going to steal her Skye away. Not her best friends or anybody. Skye was hers and that was that. She stood up and went inside the bathroom. She slipped off her pajamas and took a quick shower. Then when she was done she got dressed into her farm outfit. Then she started to wonder. Where does Skye go anyway? She thought. Mineral Town or something? I wonder. Jill came out of the bathroom and put her rucksack on. After that she ate a loaf of bread and went outside. On her way out she ran into someone. It was a guy. He was wearing a purple bandana around his head, a green sleeveless jacket that wasn't zipped up and revealed a white t-shirt underneath.

"Hey! I'm Kai!" he greeted her. He put his hand out for her to shake.

"I'm…Jill," Jill said as she shook his hand. "I've never seen you around here before,"

He put his hand behind his head and chuckled. "Yeah, I just came down from Mineral Town today. I opened up my shop 'Snack Shack' down at the beach today. I was wondering if you would like to come between 1:00pm and 6:00pm to enjoy some of my food?" he said. "Most people here in Forget-Me-Not-Valley will be there,"

"Sounds cool," Jill said. "I'll come,"

"I'll have to let you know, I only open the Snack Shack in summertime, so I'll be leaving when the season is over,"

Jill nodded. "Oh okay,"

Kai starts to walk away. "See you there, Jill!" then he's gone.

Jill grinned to herself. Kai, huh? Jill thought. He's kind of…cute… Then she shook her head furiously. Am I crazy? I like Phantom Skye not Kai! Then she stomped over to her crops. The spring crops were already dead sense it was summertime now. Luckily she bought some seeds to plant in the summer from Vesta yesterday. Then she begins to plant the seeds. When she was done she watered them. It was pretty hot outside and it was nothing compared to yesterday. It rained really hard yesterday. The summer heat always felt good. Jill smiled and let the hot sun shine in her face. Then she dumped her watering can in her backpack before walking back over to the farmhouse. When she got inside Claire was already up and she was eating some rice balls.

"Morning…" Claire mumbled.

"Morning..." Jill whispered. She didn't want to tell Claire about Kai yet and the Snack Shack. She wanted to do something by herself for a change. "I'm going to ship some stuff today. By then we'll have enough money to upgrade our house," then Jill left after that before Claire could say anything.

Jill decided to go by the Goddess pond. There were lots of weeds, sticks, rocks, and flowers that she could ship. She saw that Lumina and Rock were standing in front of the pond. "Hey guys!" Jill called.

Lumina and Rock turned to look at her. "Oh hi!" they both exclaimed. Then they turned back to stare at the pond.

Jill smiled before continuing to pick up the weeds. By 12pm Jill was shipping the stuff that she had picked. She now had enough money to upgrade the house.

Time passed by quickly, Jill had upgraded the house. Gotz was coming over tomorrow to come and make the extension. Jill was on her way to the beach now to go to the Snack Shack. When she got there, there were lots of people there just as Kai said. Gray, Rock, Ruby, Vesta, Marlin, Lumina, Murrey, Chris, Wally, and Hugh were there. Jill saw the Snack Shack. It was a small stand there and Kai was standing behind the counter. Gray, Rock, and Ruby were standing in line to buy some food. Jill waved at everyone before standing in line. She tapped Ruby's shoulder from behind. Ruby turned around to face Jill and she grinned widely at her.

"Oh hello, Jill. I see you've come to buy some of Kai's food," she said, happily.

Jill nods. "Yeah. I just wanted to see how good his food was,"

"It is," Ruby said before turning away.

The line went by pretty quick and now Jill was up front. Kai was really happy to see her.

"Jill! I'm glad you made it!" he exclaimed, joyfully.

"Yeah, I'm glad I came too!" says Jill. "So…what do you have anyway?"

"Oh yeah, or course!" he blushed in embarrassment. "We have Spaghetti, Baked Corn, Pizza, Snow Cones, and lemonade,"

Jill nods. Her stomach was already growling at the sound of the food. "I'll have pizza and some lemonade," She hands him the money.

"Coming right up!" he turns around and walks over to an outside stove.

Jill waits patiently. Then Kai came back with a slice of pizza on a plate and cup of lemonade. He hands it to Jill and grins. "There you go!"

Jill takes the food and drink. "Thanks!"

"No prob!"

She walks off to stand closer to the water. She sits down on the ground and starts eating her food.

"He's cute, huh?" said a female's voice. Jill looked up to see a girl. She had orange hair that was braided into one big braid; she had a yellow t-shirt on, and some blue overalls on over it.

"Who…?" Jill asked, even though she knew who she was talking about.

"Kai," replied the girl. "I'm Ann by the way,"

"Jill,"

"So you like Kai?" Ann asked.

Jill blushed lightly and shook her head. "I like someone else…"

"Oh…I see," Then Ann walks away. "Later, Jill!"

Jill just waved. She wondered why Ann thought that she liked Kai. She doesn't like Kai. Does she?
