Okay guys. I'm sorry but I'll admit this is not one of my better chapters. It may seem bipolar but I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what direction this story will go so please bear with me.

And in response to Annabel's comment: "Hmmm... I would watch how quickly the characters are falling for your OC. Both Kai and Grey seem to have fallen for her the day they met her. There could definitely be some more character development and interaction between them before such a big step is made. Attachment and relationships typically take time."

I realize that. I know it seems that way in the third chapter but the next chapter should fill you up more on that. Hopefully. All I can say is, I'm not stupid, I know relationships take time. Anyways, thanks for commenting and I will always appreciate constructive criticism. However, I'll admit that it may take me a while to adjust to it but I'll accept it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Harvest Moon. I do own Reyanne, she is my own character. Also, this chapter contains some cussing. For the sake of younger children, I've censored the stronger language.

Thanks, enjoy and review please!

"Hah! Hhha! Hya!"

Rey threw a left punch at Gray, then a left followed by a kick at his ribs. Gray blocked them all but the kick. He winced and grabbed his side.

"Hey!"

"I told you to fight back but you won't. I have no other choice but to challenge you." Rey smirked.

"I will not hit a girl." He gasped in pain. "You do throw a good kick though."

"Who says you'll be able to hit me?" she put her hands up in front of her.

Gray sighed. "I guess we'll never find out huh?" he touched his hat again. In fact, it'd been the fourteenth time now that Reyanne noticed.

In a swift movement she grabbed his hat off his head and took three steps back. "Hey!" Gray's blue eyes fired up. He swung forward to grab it but Rey moved her hand quickly.

"Come on Gray, you're going to have to try harder than that."

Gray lunged forward but Rey moved out of the way too fast for him to catch her. He made a quick grab for it but she blocked his hand with her arm. Their eyes met and he looked at her with a look that said 'give it back, or else'. Rey's on the other hand replied with a 'make me'. Thus began his fast punches and kicks. He tried tripping Rey off her feet but she only jumped and he missed.

Then Gray swung his balled up fist at her but she caught it in her hand. Unfortunately, the force Gray put behind the punch caused the several scratches on Rey's hand to stretch slightly. All at once it tore pain into her hand and she lost her focus. Gray took one final leap to tackle her and since Rey wasn't focusing she had no time to move out of the way. They toppled to the ground.

The blonde groaned and pushed himself off the ground. He stared into Reyanne's face and realized he'd landed on top of her.

"Here's you're hat back." She put the hat on his head.

She wasn't blushing. Gray gave her a look and squinted his eyes. "You're weird."

She laughed. "I've been told."

Suddenly, Gray was pulled up and pushed to the side. "Alright already, I've seen enough. Get off of her." It was Kai, clearly pissed off.

"You okay Princess?" Kai lifted Reyanne off the ground and examined her hands.

"I'm fine Pretty Boy." She jerked her hands away.

Kai sighed and turned to his friend. "So Mary dumped you huh?"

"Yeah. But, I'm over it. This weirdo here got me to calm down. By the way, what's your name?"

"Oh, how rude of me. The name's Reyanne, I'll be working with Claire on her farm from now on. I'm staying at the Inn."

"Welcome to the boonies." Gray tipped his hat. "And thanks again, you really helped out."

"No problem. I guess you can say I have a sensor for these things. Well boys, as much fun as it's been playing with you I have to get to sleep to start work early in the morning. See ya!" Rey saluted the boys and ran off.

The next morning Rey got up bright and early to shower. It was five in the morning but she had rested well from the night before. After she brushed her auburn hair she slipped on her boots and walked to the door. Ann woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Going so soon?"

"Yeah, I have to be at Claire's by six. I'll come by later for lunch." Rey whispered and closed the door behind her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

"So Reyanne, I heard you made Gray feel better. I can't tell you how awesome I think psychology is now." Claire turned to Rey who was deep in concentration as she brushed one of Claire's cows.

"Yeah it's alright. I just prefer not to have anyone know. It makes people uncomfortable around you 'cause they think you can read them."

"I'm just really mad at Mary. I mean, I never really talked to her but to lead Gray on like that, and Popuri too! What is wrong with these girls? I get it; they're not interested but at least tell the guy they don't have a chance rather than making them chase after you. It's a small town for goodness sakes." Claire yelled angrily.

"It's difficult. It's just saddens me to see them like that." Rey looked at her watch. "I have to go to lunch now boss." She smiled.

"Going to the Inn?"

"Yeah, I promised Ann I'd eat there today."

"Uh huh."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rey threw the brush at Claire playfully and stretched.

"I've seen how you look at Kai, you like him. And he likes you. I know he does. Just wait, the spring thanksgiving festival is coming up soon and I'll bet you he'll bake you the most delicious cookies in the world."

"He's a goofball but I'm not into him."

"We'll see."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

"Hey Rey! Sit down, what can I get you?" Ann greeted Reyanne with her usual bubbly tone.

"I'll take care of this one Ann," Kai stepped up to Rey and leaned over the counter in front of her. "What can I get you sexy?" he smirked.

Behind them, Ann whispered to Gray, "What's up with Kai?"

"He woke up today like the old Kai. Ladies man is back." Gray groaned.

"I think I'd rather order from my friend Ann, thank you." Rey's lips pouted subconsciously.

"Can I recommend the potato and Italian sausage soup?" Ann asked with her notepad in hand.

"Sounds delicious."

Kai had somehow appeared next to the brunette now. He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "I can get you an extra pickle with that order."

Rey could feel her ears burning and her face get hot.

"Oh, I got to you didn't I?" Kai stood up and leaned back against the wall.

Gray looked at him, afraid of what he would say next. Even Ann seemed to hold her breath for the next line.

"It may not be Italian, but you can have some of my sausage." Kai winked.

SLAP. Ann got him right across the right cheek. Then Gray kicked him in the shin. Kai looked up and saw Reyanne shooting out the door. Gray and Ann looked at each other with a puzzled look on their face.

Rey was already on her way to the Rose Square. Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God! Calm down Reyanne! I can't help it if those stupid cheesy pick up lines turn me on! Ugh damn this dirty talk fetish. Well, I can't blame my self; everyone likes dirty talk but agh! Just, the way he says it. That deep voice, tan skin, his hair. And that smirk! That stupid smirk! That stupid, idiotic, devilish, sexy smirk of his! Why is he so damn attractive? I'm a psychologist for goodness sakes! I'm not supposed to be influenced by something so insignificant such as this!

She finally reached the beach and walked onto the pear.

"You're disgusting, you know that? I though you were done with the whole act. Little did I know you're no better than a dog!" Ann yelled at Kai.

"What if it's not an act?" Kai yelled for the first time ever at Ann. She stepped back a little. "What if this is the real me and the kind, sweet caring Kai is the real act? Ever stop to think about that? I'm a ladies man and so what? What are you going to do about it? I'll sleep with whoever I damn want to. I'll say whatever the fu** I feel like!"

"Kai," Gray tried to interject for the redhead's sake.

"And you. You pathetic moron. No wonder Mary didn't want you! You went for my fu**ing shin! How much more of an easy shot can you get?" he exploded.

"Oh yeah? And you think acting like this makes you any better? That right there is the exact reason why Popuri dumped you! She didn't want to be with a disgusting pervert that would just lead her on until she gave you what you really wanted. You think you're so much goddamn better than the rest of us. Well to hell with you!"

"Yeah well fu** you to then! Here I thought you were my friend, not knowing that you were a fu-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence Kai." Gray grabbed him by the collar. "I am you're friend but sometimes I have to set you straight. Now apologize to Ann then go to Reyanne and apologize to her too!"

Kai pushed Gray away then glanced at Ann who was near tears.

"NOW!" Gray roared.

The brunette walked over to Ann and apologized. He gave her a big hug. "I'm sorry Ann, I didn't mean to blow up at you." Ann turned away and whispered.

"It's okay." She said rather grudgingly.

Kai stormed out of the Inn and walked to the beach. He needed to cool down first, and then he'd go looking for Reyanne.
