Review Corner

x- Oreo Neko -x - I'm glad. I wasn't exactly going for dreary...

Trying To Breakaway- I'm with you. I have like, well...I really don't know how many sprites. But I AM marrying Skye! To tell the truth, I base the ones I'm marrying on their looks. Biased, huh?

Kuh-Raiizee Black Rose- That little comment about this being one of the best Harvest Moon fanfics made my day. Anyway, do you mind if I ask, why Gray? Well, I like Gray, to tell the truth. I married him in my MFoMT game. And, if you think this is a good one, you should read Starting Over. Well, if you like Claire/Gray. That one is, what I think, THE best Harvest Moon story.

moonangeldragon- The truth is, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to make him be acting like. So I just settled for shocked. I think. I'm not good with emotions.

Skye-Pirate325- If I told you, that would ruin the story! I hope I'm not making it obvious, though...

IheartnejiandDidara- Eclipse? You mean like in the Twilight saga? I think I read all of those books over 5 times, and cried when I realized Breaking Dawn won't be out till August. And, I'm glad you will stay. Not many reviewers do that.

LazuliteRose- Thanks!

author's note- I know I promised to update May 5th...but, I just didn't have the time! It's still the same week, isn't it? Well...barely. First of all, before I say anything about the story, I want to rant about something. I went to the dentist today, and, guess what? They put a gigantic needle in my mouth. I swear, they're out to get me. Anyway, I need a huge favor. Ya know how you guys read this story and put it on your favorite's and stuff? Well, I want some to review. Well, for you guys who do, thank you, but I like to know what my readers think of the story. So, if you can spare a bit more time to review, (I understand if you don't, I read a thousand stories and then think, 'Well, I'll review later.' I never do.) A huge thanks would be in order. Kay?

RECAP

I walked to the door of the house and opened it. I saw a familiar head of silver hair turn toward me, along with four, little kids' heads. Ha. Granny hair. I whistled and grinned. "Hey Skye, the farm smells horrible. Do you have a bathroom? If I remember correctly, we did. I suggest using it.

Burn.

END RECAP

I think Skye temporarily lost his brain, (of course, no one ever said he had one in the first place) due to the fact that his face looked blank, surprised, angry, scared, and went back to surprised in a matter of seconds, in saying he completely lost control of every nerve and muscle in his body, because I swear I saw him spasm a couple of times.

"Hello? You okay?" I asked, concerned. That put him back into what senses he had left. Again, not that he had any in the first place. I swear, I don't think he had much of anything.

"You...what the hell? Am I dreaming?" He asked. I had to hide a smirk.

"Nope. Not at all. Not at all." I smiled sweetly as I let myself and Nicole in. His gazed flashed at Nicole.

"Who is this? Who are you? Julia?" He squinted his eyes at me. I smiled again and sat on a bed. Whose bed, albeit, I have no idea what so ever.

"Yup. Nice to see ya again, Skye." I smiled at the kids genuinely. "Hey, Amy, Hayden, Hunter, Alice." The blinked their eyes a couple times, then turned their heads, and turned them back. After a few seconds of contemplating, they soon realized it was me and jumped up from where ever they were in the room and tackled me into a hug.

"MOMMY!!" Alice squealed. Hayden sniffed.

"I knew you would come back." He said, and hugged me again, with his awkward one arm thing. Heh. Trying to act like the tough guy.

After they got done hugging me, I looked at Skye."Hey Skye, this is Nicole Rae." I jabbed a finger in her direction, and she looked at Skye. "Nicole, this is Skye." I then jabbed a finger in his direction. She grinned her maniacle grin, and I think I saw Skye shiver, and, more than likely, piss his pants.

Soon the introductions were done, and I proceeded to go through the door, and the kids latched onto me, albeit, Hayden with a one arm thing. "Don't leave!" Amy pleaded with puppy dog eyes. I squatted down to them, to get to eye to eye level.

"I'm not. I'm gonna go say hi to Lumina and Rock, kay?" I answered her. Her face lifted, and she let go, along with the others.

"Okay! Tell Luna I said hi! Auntie Romana always keeps her in playin that stupid piano now..." Amy muttered the last part. My gaze turned to her, agonizing.

"I thought you played piano. Well, last time I checked." I told her. She gulped.

"Daddy said it was stupid, and made us stop." Amy answered, using her father as an excuse.

"Your father's stupid. Don't listen to him. You start back in a week, if Auntie Romana says you can, along with the others, okay?" I asked. They all nodded.

"Good. I'll be back later. Tell your father to stick his tongue back in his mouth, and that Nicole is staying." I ordered.

"MAMA SAID STICK YOUR TONGUE BACK IN YOUR MOUTH!!" Hayden shouted. I flinched. We were in the same room, did he have to do that?

"THE PRETTY LADY IS STAYING, TOO!" Hunter added. Nicole smiled. She liked these kids already.

I rubbed my temples. "Bye. Don't do something your father would!" I added sweetly, and went out the door, it swinging behind me ungraciously.

. . .

On the way to Lumina's I met many people, got hugged, got yelled at for leaving so long, got hugged, and got told Nina was in the hospital. Note to self- give Galen lots of oranges.

"Lumina?" I asked unsurely as I entered the dreary mansion. It always seemed like a perfect spot for a horror movie to take place to me. I snickered, recalling a past memory. Lumina hated horror movies, and one time, in the second year I moved here, we had a sleepover with Celia and watched horror movies all night. Lumina ended up sleeping with Romana with her blanky Diana and a night light.

Rock's head popped out of Romana's room, and his eyes lit up as he tackled me to the ground. "Julia! Man, you left too long! God, Lumina will have your head!" He yelled. I flinched. As loud as ever. Dusting myself off, I looked at him.

"Well, thanks." I answered him sarcastically. He looked at me.

"Cold man, cold." Was all he said. Seconds later we were sitting down in the dining room, discussing my poor, horrible, 'poop smelling,' farm.

"Hey, I have an idea." Rock said, his eyes suddenly lighting up like Lumina's old night light she still sometimes used. I glared at him.

"Does it include explosives?" I asked him warily. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"No, not this time." He flushed, then grinned again. "How about we play a little trick on Skye..." He started. I shook my head and wagged a finger in front of him, as if he were a little boy getting caught stealing a cookie from the jar before dinner.

"Come on!" He whined. "Just one little trick? That's it. No more. Just to teach him his place?" He pleaded with puppy dog eyes. Oh gosh, I thought only little kids could do that. Don't look, don't look, don-

"Fine." I finally answered, exasperated. He grinned evilly. I felt like a teenager again.

"Well...you see it goes..." He started, and whispered the idea in my ear. Seconds later, I was about to burst with happiness. The plan was flawless! Perfect! He wouldn't know what hit him!

"Hey Rock, I-" Lumina walked in the door, and was, more than likely, about to scold Rock for something, but looked at me, and the gears in her brain finally clicked after a couple agonizing seconds. Just like Rock, she tumbled into me.

After I had finally dusted myself off again, we all sat down. Rock cleared his throat and looked at Lumina. "Lumina dear...I was thinking...do you think we could go and have dinner with Julia and her family tonight? I really want to meet this new Nicole person she speak so fondly of..."

. . .

You people better be glad I got this out today. I was thinking about waiting until tomorrow night, but I decided to do it now. At 12:05 at night. Well, I stay up late, anyways. And, this chapter is a bit short, I know, but I needed to stop there so I could leave a cliffhanger. Anybody have an idea of what they're going to do? And, oh my gosh, I can hear it thundering outside. I better get off.

R&R, please?
