In the morning I made sure to wake up on time. I gave Coco and I some breakfast and changed into a long pair of brown pants that had strings attached to them so when you walked they swayed, and a tannish looking t-shirt. After that I headed out to the fields on the farm. But first this short guy in red showed me where to put stuff for extra cash. The yard that I turned to after he left was huge! It also had weeds covered everywhere! Takura came out of his house and I asked him why there were so many weeds. He said "Your father died a long time ago so it got a little…" Takura was lazy. There were weeds everywhere because, he was lazy. I sighed and against all the parts inside me that hated this I started to weed.
I had weeded for three hours! They never seemed to stop around here. I let out a cry of pain. I had to sit down for a while or I would faint. Whenever I work too hard for a long amount of time because my rib cage always feels compressed. It feels as if someone was pushing down on them threatening my heart and my lungs. I took long deep breaths and closed my eyes for a second. I went over to the watering hole and took in a sip of the refreshing water. After a few more seconds of closing my eyes I was ready to work again. I tilled the land and planted the two free turnip seeds I'd gotten from Mineral Town's farmer. After it was done I headed for the Villa. My wrist watch read 10:00 a.m. I sighed I still had a long way to go before I could meet Skye again. After meeting Lumina, Romana, and their butler Sebastian, I headed down to Turtle Pond. I met Gustafa the traveling poet. "Hey!" I greeted him while waving at him. "Claire! You're just in time." He smiled at me. I couldn't help smiling back.
"In time for what?" I asked cocking my head and looking into his eyes. He froze in place. Oh great! Just like Rock and Marlin. "In time for what?" I asked him again a little more impatient. "Um… I-I just finished writing a new song." he said still looking into my eyes. I looked at my watch. Hey why not? I had time to kill. So I encouraged him "Well? Go on! Let's hear it!" He took his eyes of me and fumbled with a guitar looking thing.
After Gustafa finished with his song I thanked him and went south to the beach. Yesterday after meeting Galen and Nina they gave me a fishing rod. A guy down there named Cliff helped me figure out how to use it and I caught three fish. By that time it was already 9:00 p.m.! I managed to catch three fish and kill some time so I felt proud of my self. I walked up the path I had come to when I went to the Turtle pond from the villa. I was standing in front of the bar when two drunk twins came out. I learned from the people in the village the twins worked with fireworks and always displayed some during the summer time. I greeted them hesitantly and hurried a little to my farm. I was never good with not being scared about people who drink. One twin followed me saying "Hey beautiful! Wanna party with me?" I got so scared! I quickened my pace again. "Come on I don't bite!" The drunk twin said. I was at my farmhouse and I dumped off the fish into the shipping bin. He was blocking my way to the exit.
After a while the other drunk twin came up and grabbed his brother's shoulder. "Kassey… Kassey…" He was laughing in between the words. "I… Got a joke….. That…" While the two where distracted I bolted for the open exit. After I left the farm's ground I heard Kassey say. "Wait preeetty lady." So I ran for the goddess' pond. Once I got there I looked at my wrist watch that read 10:00p.m. I sighed in relief. Skye would be here soon so as long as those twins don't follow me I should be fine. But if they do follow me… I ducked behind a tree trunk and prayed Skye would come soon. "Are you hiding from me my angel?" Came a musical voice behind me. I turned around and there was Skye. Right in front of me. "N-no!" I said catching my breath. He was so quiet I didn't notice him so it scared me.
"Kassey and Patrick are following me. They're both drunk." I explained why I was behind a tree. "I wouldn't worry about it. They probably both passed out." He smiled at me making my face go pink. I scrambled for the bag on my back and took out his jacket. I handed it to him looking down so he couldn't see my face get red. "H-here's the jacket you let me borrow. Thank you so much." I felt the jacket being lifted out of my hands so I looked up at him and let my hands drop down to my sides. He shrugged into it and smelled it. "It's better than when I lent it to you. Now it has the delicate sent of an angel." He whispered taking in another breath. Now my face was searing hot again. I put my hands to my face to cool them down. My hands have always been the coldest part of my body. He reached out and took my hand holding it loosely in his. "Here's another proof you're my angel." He said encasing my hand into his own. "Your hands are so soft and so cold as if you've died and gone to heaven." I really felt like I had died and gone to heaven but I blurted out "N-no my hands are always cold like that!" He looked into my eyes. My heart started to pound. "Then you need someone to warm them for you." He smiled again. I couldn't think of anything to say next. Still holding my hand he led the way to the small pond we were near.
We sat down at the edge of it. Still holding hands. He looked up at me and stared back into my eyes. "They say if you put an offering into the pond and wish with all your heart." He picked a flower next to him. "The Harvest Goddess will grant your wish." He set the flower in the water and it floated to the center before the weight of the water started taking it down to the depths. He looked at me. I picked a flower and set it into the water when it got to the center I wished really hard. He chuckled a bit. "I shouldn't keep you up past midnight. Who knows what heaven will punish me with?" He stood and held my hand to help me get up. When I was up he let it drop softly to my waist. He walked me home and again was gone in a blink of the eye. I sighed sad that the day was over, and I didn't get to ask if I would see him again. But once I closed the door inside I noticed something purple on the table. I walked over to it and saw it was the umbrella I dropped in the rain.
