I'm back! A shorter chapter this time, but hey.

I still don't own Harvest Moon. If I did, why would I write this? I could make a game about it!

After getting a bucket of water poured over my head by a smirking Chase, I finally snapped out of it, and went to welcome the new additions to this rather weird party.

Bo was nice, but the Harvest King... I may need to fireproof my house.

He IS really shiny though, and everyone knows shiny=AWESOME!
I just have to find a way to stop him getting annoyed.

"So, what now? We have to wait for the rose perfume to ferment after we've made it, so... Where are we staying exactly?"

I smiled as Rose immeditely grabbed onto Vaughn, much to his horror. This was gonna be fun! Rose also decided to bring along the Harvest King, to my non-suprise.

"Hey, fiery personalities!" She grinned as she pulled the two complaining men out of the room. I have to admit, I was a little scared for the visitors, but I doubted my best friend would attempt to murder those two. It's a good job she didn't choose Chase, though. He'd be dead before tomorrow if that was the case!

Luke and Bo decided to bunk with my older sis at her house, much to her joy. Between them, I wouldn't be suprised if they managed to blow up the house. No, seriously. If they were going to my school, I would run the moment they had Science class.

Chase and Mark were stuck with me, lucky people.

"Ugh, why do we have to have the boring, random one?"

Chase immediately yelped as I whacked him over the head with my dictionary.

"Chase! We should be nice to this girl! She's only just met us, but she's sheltering us."

That led to an awkward moment, as I tried to explain I knew them from the video games. That didn't turn out well, and kinda freaked them out. With Chase, I know it did, 'cause he started using a lot more sarcasm.

"So you say we shouldn't really exist? Well, I'll just go vanish like I'm supposed to!"

This was going to be a long, long day.

The next morning, I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to frantically phone my school and secure six places. Thanks to my high grades, they let it pass. Thank the Goddess for giving me a good brain!

Anyway, I found my spare uniforms (boys and girls wear the same) and passed them to the two boys slumping sleepily at the door.

"W-we have to wake up at six in the morning? Is your school weird or what?" Chase yawned grumpily.

"You're weirded out this easily? Well, I promise you won't find anything else weird! Even the pyrotechnic maniac we have for a Science teacher, or our random German teacher!"

Let's just stick to the idea I have a lot of spare sarcasm in the mornings.

Mark took the clothes without complaint, and went to his room to change. At least he had some common sense.

"So, Chase, can you help me with our breakfast? I might mess up."

The peach sighed and reluctantly walked over.

"Ok, Mark likes practically everything, so that should be easy. You like oranges, don't you? Here!"

I chucked him the marmalade and an orange, which he only just caught. It looked like he was a bit stunned. Ah well, if he's not used to someone being kind, he'll adjust. At least, he should. I don't want to look at a shocked Chase every time I pass him the marmalade!

"Um... thanks."

I was suprised, to say the least, when he said that. The Chase I (sort of) know never says thank you nonchalantly. He must actually be touched by my motion! Wait, why am I so pleased? Meh.

We were just sitting down for breakfast when there was a knock at the door. I only know one person who also wakes up this early...

Sure enough, Rose bashed through the door, dragging a sleepy Vaughn and angry Harvest King behind her.

"This flame-wielding idiot tried to burn down my house!"

"It was an accident, you wretched human. Please remind me why I'm stuck with you dirty creatures instead of on my mountain."

I was just waiting for this to happen! I giggled a little, then noticed Rose was still latched onto the yawning Vaughn.

"Got a little crush, Crimson?"

She leapt away at my mockery, blushing lightly, and heavily denying my claim.

"Rigghhhttt..."

Vaughn looked like murder right then, so I wisely decided to shut up. Rose was practically drooling over Vaughn, and I have to admit, he did look nice in the uniform. I then cast an eye over the Harvest King, and spotted a problem.

"Guys, how are we meant to make people think the King's normal when he freaking glows!"

Mark suggested that we could say he had glow paint spilt over him for a prank, which was helpful. The god himself suggested we sent him home now, which wasn't as helpful.

"Why don't you send yourself home with magic?" Rose asked. She had a point.

"My magic is that of nature, not teleporting. I can only make teleports for short distances. Nature magic."

"He didn't mention fire? 'Cause he definitely uses THAT." Rose whispered in my ear, to my amusement.

I then had to force Chase to get changed into his uniform, Rose away from the biscuit tin, and the Harvest King away from flammables. It was all worth it when Chase came down, though. He looked really dashing in the black and purple uniform,... BAD ALIA! Stop thinking right now!

The clock told me it was now 7:30, so I dragged the unwilling crowd out of my house to meet with Amber and Zephyr at the town centre. School was going to be a lot more interesting than normal today!
