Whoop chapter 2, I'm sorry chapter one was so short I'll try to make this one longer for you! Well enjoy!^^ disclaimer: I don't own harvest moon or any of the characters (wish I did though)
Jill woke to the sound of a knock on her door. She got out of bed and rubbed her eyes then walked over and opened her door, marlin stood there he looked at her then turned away blushing slightly "uh.. Morning Jill" he said with noticeable discomfort Jill looked down, realizing she was wearing a bra and boxers "I am so sorry I'll be right back" she said as she ran to her room and put on clothes. Jill ran back to the door "I'm sorry about that…I'm not a morning person…cant think before ten" "it's ok" he said "so what's up?" Jill asked "well…" he said nervously "Lumina is having her huge annual birthday party and I was wondering… if you would go with me" he paused "it's a masquerade ball this year "he added. Jill smiled "I'd love to" she said. Marlin smiled "Vesta will be wondering where I went so I'll see you there, it's in a week" Jill smiled at him "I'll see you there and probably every day before". Jill waved as marlin walked away. Jill walked back into her house and grabbed what she needed to do her farm work for the day.
Jill finally finished her work for the day and it was already five o'clock. She flopped on her bed with a relived sigh, and then the phone rang of course, the thought. "hello" she answered "Jill you're going right?" Muffy's voice asked "yea" Jill sighed "well me and the rest of the girls are going dress shopping tomorrow and-" "I don't have a choice do I?" Jill cut her off "well technically you do, you could come willingly of we could drag you out" Muffy laughed "must I really?" "well do you own a dress because I will not let you go dressed like a farmer and don't even think of wearing the tuxedo t-shirt, it's tacky" Jill sighed again "fine I'll go" "yaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'll see you tomorrow at ten!" Muffy squealed. Jill sighed as she hung up the phone "I hate dresses" she whined.
"yay! you showed up!" Muffy chimed as Jill walked over to the group of girls in front of the blue bar. Jill recognized most of the girls, there was Cecilia, Lumina, a few from mineral town and- "Nami? Let me guess she threatened to drag you out too?" Jill asked "not threatened, did" nami grumbled angrily "I am so sorry nami" Jill said before walking over to Muffy "so when are we going?" "now!" Muffy chimed happily
After an hour of walking the girls finally stopped at the dress store "aren't they so pretty?" Lumina said. Jill and nami grumbled in unison. while the girls were judging each others dresses and trying to dress nami in a long, bright pink dress, Jill had wondered over to a small room within the large dress store filled with dresses some of witch looked like they were from the middle ages and the others from Halloween. After awhile of looking Jill found a dress that, despite her hate for dresses, she liked. It was a long dress that had a corset top and a long bottom the entire dress was black and a purple that matched her eyes perfectly. She picked it up and walked over to the counter "I would like this one please" the person rang it up and Jill paid while it was put in a cover that hid the dress. Jill then walked over to the other girls most of witch had picked out their dresses and were now convincing nami to choose a dress "you picked out a dress!" Muffy said in surprise "I'm so proud of you!" she added "now let me see" Jill looked at her "you'll see it next week at the party" she said. "aww but Jill!" Muffy pouted "no, you'll see it next week" "fine" Muffy grumbled. "well I'm gonna go home I still need to do my farm work for the day ok?" "ok" Muffy said
6 days later
Jill stood in front of her mirror, her hair was down around her face and she wore a choker with an amethyst on it that she got from her mother that matched her dress perfectly and a raven black mask. Jill heard a knock on the door. She opened the door to see marlin standing there wearing a white button up shirt and a deep blue mask, his mouth agape "J-Jill! You look amazing" marlin said, shocked. Jill smiled slightly "yea, well don't get used to it" marlin bowed slightly "shall we?" Jill curtsied "I'd love to" Jill and marlin walked to the mansion, holding hands.
Muffy gasped when Jill walked in the door, on marlins arm. "oh my gosh Jill! You look beautiful" Jill smiled "thank you" "you… want to go dance?" marlin suggested. Jill nodded and they went over and started to dance after a few songs marlin spoke "I'm going to go sit down for a little while" "ok I'm going to keep dancing" Jill said as marlin walked off. Jill started to dance when a strange man walked up to her, he had white hair and he wore all black with a black cape and a white mask. "good evening fair maiden" he bowed and looked up at her with turquoise eyes. "may I have this dance?" "I don't think I should… who are you?" she asked "it's just one song I'm sure your friend won't mind, and I'm one of Luminas friends from mineral town" he said as he held out his hand. Jill hesitated for a moment then took his hand, the danced for at least three songs that Jill counted, until marlin walked back over, he glared at the strange man "I'm sorry, I was just dancing with the lady in your absence, I meant nothing by it" the man said. Marlin took Jill's hand "if you don't mind" he said before he lead her away "who was that?" marlin asked, Jill could tell that there was a hint of annoyance in his voice "he said he was from mineral town I don't actually know his name" "I don't trust him" marlin said, still glaring at the man.
After the party marlin walked Jill home "well I guess I'll see you tomorrow" "yea, I'll see you tomorrow, good night" Jill said as marlin turned to leave. Jill shut the door and went to bed.
