A/N: Here's the second story. For this I switch the point of view a lot. This might spoil something in the game for you. Well... only if you're courting Cliff. This is the last part of this story. Hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: Whoops. I forgot to do this before. I don't own Harvest Moon.

Prequel 2/2

Zack's POV

So I was walking home. I didn't feel the need to celebrate New years eve tonight. I felt like going to sleep. Ah, almost home. I like living at the beach. It's by the dock and... What the?! A girl is unconscious on the beach! What should I do? I looked back and saw Cliff carrying a bunch of suitcases. I went over to get his help.

Cliff's POV

Well, it's about time I leave. I'm gonna board the ship and leave this place. Maybe I should have said goodbye at least. Nah... It's better like this. I don't fit in here anyway. I don't actually live here after all. Just visiting. Huh? Why does Zack look so worried? Does he know I'm leaving?

Normal POV

"Good timing. I need your help. Come with me." Zack said.

Cliff followed while wondering what this was about. Then he saw her.

"This girl is knocked out. So I went for help." Zack told him.

"Wait- so you left her?" That shocked Cliff.

"Yeah..."

"You shouldn't leave someone unconscious by themselves. She probably needs medical attention." Cliff dropped his bags and leaned down by her and checked to see if she was alive.

Cliff's POV

It LOOKED like she was breathing. It's hard to tell.

Zack nodded in agreement. "You're right! I'll go to the clinic and tell the doctor. You carry her there."

"Wait..." I started.

"No time! Her life is in danger!"

And Zack ran off. Why did this happen to me? Couldn't I have run ahead and gotten the doctor while he stayed here? Then again, I can imagine Zack dropping her and hurting her further. She's obviously been through enough. So I picked her up like a big baby and started walking to the clinic. I could feel her breathing. I guess that's a good sign.

Zack's POV

I reached the clinic in record time and tried to open the door. But it was locked. I started pounding on the door.

"Doctor! Doctor!!! Hey! I don't care if the clinic is closed! We have an emergency!!!"

Normal POV

Cliff arrived a couple of minutes later. He saw Zack slamming his fists against the door. Zack saw him and stopped.

"I'm not getting any answer. I know the clinic usually closes at this time but..."

"Wait! You don't think..."

They both realized "The doctor's out celebrating New years eve!"

Cliff would have slapped his head if his arms weren't full.

"Drat... how could we have forgotten." Zack said.

"Maybe he's not far from here."

"No. Almost everyone goes to Mother's hill peak to watch the sunrise."

Cliff's POV

"Okay... so what do we do with her?" She wasn't getting any lighter with us just standing here.

Zack thought about for a minute before saying, "Hm... maybe we should just let her rest somewhere. She could wake up in the morning. If not, we can always get her to the clinic tomorrow."

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. She could be hurt. Waiting could do more harm than good. But it is the only option we have for now.

"Okay. Where should she rest?" I asked.

Zack answered, "Well......... my house is a ways off now. The closest place I can think of is the abandoned farm. Yes. That'll do. Take her there and I'll go inform Mayor Thomas. Your work will be done after that. He and I will be able to take it from there."

And once again, Zack ran off while leaving me alone with an unconscious girl. All I had to do was take her to the farm. But my arms are getting tired. I almost sat her down. I'm getting nervous. Everyone has gone to celebrate New years and I'm alone. The only sound was the wind and the girl breathing. Unless that was just the wind. I don't know. I hurried up and walked to the farm. The place was a mess. Sticks, rocks and a million weeds littered this place. I almost tripped on one on my way to the door. Having reached it, I faced the dilemma of opening it. The best way would be to put the girl down and open it. I was about to do so when a puppy ran over and started barking at me.

"Hey! Settle down."

Good grief, now I can't put her down because of this territorial dog. This pup probably belonged to the previous farm owner. Which makes me think. I mean, I can understand the guy getting tired of farming or retiring and leaving this place. Selling off animals and whatever. But what kind of guy leaves his puppy behind?

"Look pup. I need to put this girl down. Please don't make this difficult."

I started lowering the girl to the ground. The puppy stopped barking and ran over to her. I was about to pull her back when the pup sniffed her and backed up. Maybe he sensed this wasn't the time to fool around and she was unconscious. I don't know. So I placed her gently to the ground and opened the door. The puppy stayed in place and I picked her up again and went inside. There's a bed! Good. I put her on the bed and put the covers over her. There. I sat down by the bed and fell asleep. About an hour later, the Mayor and Zack woke me up.

Mayor Thomas spoke up. "Oh, the poor girl. Thank you Cliff. We'll take it from here. You can go back to the Inn and go to sleep now."

"Thanks." I said.

I am very tired. I left and made my way back to the Inn. I walked inside and went to my room. I was about to fall asleep..... DRAT! I forgot I was supposed to leave... oh well.

A/N: This is my attempt at being funny. The last one was Tragic and this is supposed to be Comedy. Well that's all for this story. 'Mina's love story' isn't even in the works yet so don't expect a continuation any time soon. I'll continue.... before 2012. Hahaha...
