The Gray Midnight Skye
Chapter 3
First Notice Pt. 1
It was dark. I went to the Spring. I looked at my watch. 10PM… I didn't sit down. I just stood in front of the Spring. It was really beautiful in the moonlight. "Nice to see that you're feeling better." A smooth voice said. I didn't need to turn. I knew exactly who it was. "Hello Skye." I simply said as I sat down. "What's your mischievous plan for tonight?" I jokingly asked. He chuckled as he sat down beside me. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked. "Yes you are…" I heard him say. 'You'? I looked at him. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled. I think of Skye as my best friend. He's fun to be around. Then suddenly a moo was heard from my belt. "Ritsu!" I said out loud. I can tell who it was. It's like I can understand animals. Another moo was heard. "Come with me!" I whispered to Skye as I took his hand and dragged him with me to my barn. When we got there, I slammed the door open. "Are you alright, Ritsu!" I asked my cow. The other cows and sheep were sort of surrounding around her. She mooed again. I ran to her with Skye behind me. She looked at Skye then angrily mooed. "Don't worry, Ritsu. This is my friend, Skye. But right now we should worry about you!" I told her. She nodded. Well… I guess you know what happens… She's giving birth… Skye helped me help Ritsu with her pregnancy. After that, a beautiful calf was born. "Awe… So cute…" I cooed. I turned to Ritsu. "What are you going to name her?" I asked her. I know it seems stupid to ask a question like that to a cow but… She mooed happily. "Aisuke… It's wonderful… Don't you think so, Skye?" I asked Skye. "Yeah…" He replied. "How can you understand her?" He asked. I knew he was going to ask that sooner or later! "I don't really know… But… I don't know… Whenever they talk to me… It's like… I know what they're saying…" I replied. It was hard to explain… "You really are amazing, Midnight…" He said. Then Ritsu mooed angrily again. I giggled. "Don't worry. He's always like that." I told her. She nodded as she fed her new-born calf. "I'll be back in the morning, alright?" I told my animals as I left. "Not a lot of people likes to see the birth of a new-born calf. They think it's disgusting… But I think it's wonderful… A new creation has been born… how can they not see that? And what I hate most are the people who eat meat. Meat are from animals… That's the reason why I'm a vegetarian. That's why my animals behave probably better than others…" I said as we went to the end of my field. "I never knew you were a vegetarian. But… you have amazingly a lot of love and care to animals." He told me. I nodded. "Before I became a thief, I found an abandoned dog. I checked if he had a collar. He did but it had no tag. I took him in and took care of him. When I started stealing, I also stole some stuff for dogs. I named him Itsumo. Then when I ran away to here, I took Itsu with me." I told him. I laid down on the grass and looked up at the starry midnight sky. Skye also joined me. "It's beautiful…" I stated. "Yes but if you compare it and you, you're more beautiful." Skye said. "I bet you say that to all the girls…" I said. "I do. But when I say it to them, I don't actually mean it… But to you… I mean every word I say." He told me. I blushed. Then there was an awkward silents. After a while, I heard heavy breathing. I looked over to see Skye asleep. I smiled as I brought him to my house. I put him on my bed as I took out a banket and pillow and slept on the floor. The next morning, I woke up and got changed into a simple blue dress that went down to my ankles. I saw that Skye was still asleep. I giggled as I went to my kitchen and made breakfast.
Skye's POV
I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I looked around to see that I wasn't in my room, NOR my house. Oh yeah… I remember… Midnight's cow, Ritsu gave birth to Aisuke. After that, we went to the end of her field. Then I fell asleep… I got up and followed the delicous smell. I went to the living room and saw Midnight setting up 2 plates and a plate with some pancakes on it. Then she noticed me. "Ah. Skye. Good morning. You're just int time for breakfast." She said with a smile. I smiled back. "Good morning." I said as I sat down at the table. I noticed that the pancakes had either strawberries or blueberries. After we ate, I helped Midnight with her farmwork. It was really tiring! After, we laid down on the grass. She showed no hint of tiredness. "How do you handle all of that?" I asked her. "I guess I'm used to it… I have been doing this since I was 5…" She told me. She has point there. "Wow… Then you must be tough. I would have gotten beat up if I robbed you on the first day I met you." I told her with a laugh at the end. She laughed as well. Wait a minute… What time is it. I looked at my watch. 5:30… That's good enough. I need to send my notice today. "I'm sorry, my dear Midnight but I need to leave now." I told her. She nodded as I left. Then I quickly and quietly went into the Blue Bar and put my notice on the counter.
Midnight's POV
3 hours and 28 mintues after Skye left, I left to the Blue Bar. It was Wednesday and it's almost 9. When I arrived, I saw Griffen and Muffy all furious. "Ah. Midnight. Hello." Muffy said, trying to be calm. "What happened?" I asked. "The Phantom Thief! That's what happened!" Griffen said. I flitched back a little from Griffen's sudden outburst. Skye… "What did he do this time?" I asked. They gave me a piece of paper. After I read it I sighed. Skye… always causing trouble… "Can you help us catch him? You don't have to if you don't want to! I mean you might still have work and stuff…" Muffy said. I smiled. "Sure. I finished my work." I told them. "Thanks for helping us, Midnight. Is it alright if we meet here at 10PM tonight?" Griffin asked. I nodded as I continued stocking up their new drinks. I took a glance at one of them then my eyes widen. "Whoa! You guys have Okuhattan? Wow! My older brother loves that! If only he was here…" I said sadly. "I'm so sorry, Mid…" Muffy said. I smiled, having tears form my eyes. "It's alright. It really is." I told her. When I finished, I bowed, thanking them for having me once again, and then took my leave. I mentally sighed once I got out. Skye… He so troublesome yet so sweet... I don't get him at all. I went to the excavation site to mine. When I got there, I saw Gray with Carter. "Thank you very much, Gray." Carter thanked. "Hi Gray!" I said. He looked at me. "Hey Midnight. It's been a while since I last saw you." He said. "Yeah... But we both have work and the shop closes on Thursdays only so you only get one day off." I told him. "Yeah... Well... I better get going... If I don't, who knows what my grandfather would do to me..." He said. I giggled. Just as he was about to leave the site, he stopped. "Oh yeah... Is it alright if we meet here again tomorrow?" He asked. I nodded. "Of course. See you later, Gray." I said as he left. I looked at my watch. 9:30...
