Me: ok Natalie you wanna have a go?

Natalie: I'll pass…..

Me: well fine then, Ms. Grumpy how bout you Julia

Julia: Harvest Moon is all thanks to Natsume!

Natalie: Hey actually when do I show up again?

Me: all in due time. Anyhow on with the show err…story.

"….Skye…" Jill stood there arms crossed, eyes shut, annoyance clear as broad daylight on her face.

"Yes?" Skye smiled choosing to act as if she wasn't showing such blatant signs of her mood. "Can I help you with anything? I'd be more than happy to."

"Tell me, why there are four cats in here. Where did you even get them?"

"Well I was trying to get Vaughn to teach me how to ride a horse and suddenly these cute kitties walked by us looking hungry so we fed them." Skye picked one up "So can we keep them?" Skye gave his best puppy eyes rivaling the cat's cute face. "Please?"

Jill's will power was no match for the double team and broke after a few moments "oh alright…"

Skye swiftly put the cat down to in favor of hugging Jill. "Oh thank you I'm so happy!"

Smoothly dodging his advances Jill picked up the chestnut colored cat and thought of what to name it.

Suddenly the door slammed open.

"Jill Jill Jill! You gotta come see these really cute puppies Vaughn brought home! Skye you too! Oh yeah you don't like dogs so you don't have to come." Chelsea dragged Jill away; Skye sighed and decided to go with them.

Inside Vaughn and Julia were making sure the dogs were safe to keep.

"Hey Vaughn how come you told me you didn't have any family?" Julia looked at his face to see if she was on a touchy subject but it remained stoic as always.

"Legally he's not." Julia gave him the finish-your-sentence-look. He sighed and did so "When we were sent to the orphanage he was adopted and I wasn't"

"Hey Jules, Chelsea came ranting about some super adorable puppies" Natalie walked in without knocking as she always did, Lanna and Sabrina following close behind.

"Oh my gosh they're so adorable!" Lanna swiped the one Vaughn was holding right out of his hands "Who's the cute widdle puppy? You are! you are! Yesh you are!" she held him out in front of her and twirled around the room with him.

"Wow they are really cute." Sabrina gently stroked the one that Julia was holding then looked up at her "May I pick her up?"

"Sure just be careful." Julia smiled and handed her the small white puppy.

"Well I guess they are pretty cute." Natalie unfolded her arms and plopped down next to Julia as the door swung open. "Hey Chels Mr. Grumpy here says they're fine to keep" Natalie gestured toward Vaughn who gave no signs of acknowledging her comment.

Chelsea sat in between Vaughn and Julia "So the white one is Snowbell and the brown one is Poppy."

Jill nodded petting Snowbell who was still in Sabrina's arms "Hey little guy I'm sure you'll be really happy here."

"Little brother, would you mind giving me a moment?" Skye dragged him out of the house before he could protest.

"Yes, yes I would." he snatched his arm away brushing off the part that Skye had touched.

"Come now that was just cold." Skye frowned a little.

"How about you try not talking like some fancy aristocrat."

Skye thought for a bit. "Vaughn I really need your help please listen."

He took a deep breath and sighed "Fine what do you want?"

Skye's face lit up like Christmas lights "I thank you from the bottom of my very soul dear little brother."

"Shut up!"

"Sorry its habit….but anyway I want to thank Chelsea for giving us a place to live but I haven't known her for very long…"

"She's the kind of girl that doesn't really like to ask for things in return. The only thing she'll ask is for you to be her friend."

Skye thought for a moment then suddenly got an idea. "Let's go camping!"

Vaughn raised an eyebrow "…What?"

Chelsea stood at the edge of the cliff and breathed in the fresh mountain air. "Jill come here the view is amazing!"

Jill was over by the tent watching Vaughn start a fire. "No thanks, I'd rather not."

"Why not Gorgeous it really is a sight to behold." Skye too was at the mountain's edge soaking in the view.

"Yeah no, you guys have fun I'll be over here where it's safe." Jill's eyes widened a little when the fire sparked "Hey could you teach me how to do that sometime."

"I guess…" Vaughn just shrugged opening a bag of chips.

Chelsea leaned over the edge a little "hey look the animals down there look really tiny!"

"Careful now, we don't want you falling. Don't you think this would look even more beautiful once its sunset?"

"Absolutely oh and while eating smores too this is gonna be so cool!"

Jill looked over at Chelsea then at Vaughn "Hey Vaughn?"

"Yeah?"

"I can see you staring at her."

"I'm just making sure she doesn't lean too far. That girl is a klutz when it comes to anything but farm work and cooking."

Jill giggled "You should give her more credit." She looked up at the clouds and sighed. They fell silent for a while enjoying the outside air until Chelsea and Skye came back to the tent.

"Little brother may I have a word?" Skye poked the back of Vaughn's head.

"What?"

"Its Chelsea."

"I'm listening..."

"I think she likes you."

"And just where did you get that notion?"

"She speaks so highly of you and when I asked her she got a little flustered."

"She speaks highly about everyone and she's not exactly an expert in the romance department."

"Seems to me you're in denial. I get it you don't ruin her innocence but trust me when the time comes you just won't be able to hold back all those feelings. And love is an important part of life Vaughn you just-"

"Shut up I don't need a life lesson from you"

Skye smiled watching Vaughn storm off toward the fire "Just leave it all to big brother. I see the way you look at her, and who wouldn't she has a personality like that of a goddess."

"Skye what are you doing here staring into space?" Jill stood behind him with her eyebrow raised.

"Oh I was just giving Vaughn some brotherly advice." He closed his eyes giving his signature smile "You know, this sunset is but a small puddle compared to the vast ocean of your beauty."

"Oh shut it." Jill lightly punched his arm. "She's making smores over there. They're pretty good too."

"Jill." Skye grabbed her hand as she moved to go back to the tent

"Hm?"

"I love you."

"love you too Skye." Jill tightened her grip and they headed over to the fire.
