Gah~! Here's day six! I got a request to write JillxGriffin from poesumo, so here it is! Sorry if this makes absolutely no sense, but I was really busy today and now I'm tired to no end, but I couldn't help but try! Also, I'll be sorry for any OOC-ness right now, I never played DS Cute and it's been far too long since I played AWL or regular DS, so…yea…And thanks so much for the reviews!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon.

…

Griffin calmly cleaned a glass from behind the counter at his bar. Everything around him was just as he – calm, not moving, simply there. He gently rested the glass back on the shelf, and, noticing that the bar was empty, pulled out his guitar, starting to play, which made the air seem even more relaxed than before.

Of course, the atmosphere was disturbed when a certain villager stormed in, slamming the door behind her, and plopped down on the seat with as little grace as she could muster. She slumped over, exhausted, but managed to bark out "Stone oil! Now!" loud and clear.

"Hello Jill." Griffin complied with her orders, mixing up the strongest drink that could be legally sold in Forget-Me-Not Valley, "What brings you here on a night like this?"

"It's Christmas Eve."

"I know."

"It's Christmas Eve in a town that I just moved into, and I don't know what to do! I don't have anybody to spend it with! My sister is off being my sister somewhere, my mom is off with her new husband, my dad's dead, and I don't know anybody here!"

"I'm sorry to here that." He slid the liquid across the counter, the farmer catching the glass easily in her palm before downing it all in one gulp.

"I mean, seriously, I don't have anybody! Nobody, they're all away, and I'm here all alone! Do you understand how bad that feels?" She answered, the alcohol definitely affecting her system, which resulted in her getting more and more worked up as each word was uttered.

"Yes, I do."

"What do you mean? How could you?"

"I have no family here, only Muffy. And I don't know where she is, but I believe she's visiting somewhere in a far off town. I am alone as well, Jill." He was not irritated like the girl, talking quietly as he put all of the ingredients in their rightful spots.

"Oh…I'm sorry." She slumped over even further, embarrassed to no end. She had just ranted to the only person that would listen, and accidentally offended them in the process.

"It's ok. I run a bar, the people here are my family."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, Jill. All I'm saying is, if you don't want to feel alone, my doors are always open, the alcohol is always ready to serve, and I'm always willing to listen."

"Really?"

"Sure." He shrugged, like it was no big deal.

"Cool!" She squealed a bit, happy at the thought of not being without anybody, "What do you wish to do?"

"It is your choice."

"We should…we should…ah!" Thinking, Jill tapped her chin with her finger before an idea came to her, "We should have a party! We should invite everyone else that is alone here and become our own little makeshift family!"

"That's sounds quite pleasant."

"Yea…we'll get Nami here, even though I'm pretty sure she won't want to, but she'll come in the end, Rock will drag her along if that happens. Yea, he seems to like parties, so he should come even if his parents live here. And Gustafa, it's obvious he wouldn't mind, Cody, too, we shouldn't leave him out, and Lumina, even though she has Romana, I'm sure she'd like to visit…Ay! This will be so much fun, Griffin! I can't thank you enough!" She bounced up and down with excitement, the thought of meeting new people and getting to know them made her happy.

"It's no problem."

"No, seriously, thanks for being there for me! Now, I'm going to go get everyone – you stay here! Wait for me, I'll be back soon!" With that, Jill dissolved back outside, a smile now gracing her face. Griffin smiled too, he loved that girl. She somehow managed to turn everything into a group effort. I mean, she didn't even know that many people here, but she still tried to make sure everyone had somebody to be with that night, to remind them that their not alone.

He pulled out his guitar again, softly mumbling under his breath, "This one's for you, Jill…"

...

Did that make any sense? Sorry if it didn't, and I'm also sorry for making Griffin so Gustafa-like. I really need to play AWL or DS or something again…oh well. I'm really tired right now, so all I can say is please review and tell me any pairing requests ( I have 2 spots left!)
