I'm going to introduce another character! That's almost all of them! YAHOO!!!!!:D The action can finally start because Phantom Skye is finally going to show up in this chapter! YES! I love writing this story...so enjoy!

I'm in a really good mood today so even annoying disclaimers can't bug me! Here goes!

I don't own Harvest Moon Natsume! Good day! :D This is Rose's POV ^^

"Let me read it." Chris says with a worried expression.

I remembered the neat, cursive writing on the pure white paper. The ink was a smooth deep blue. This man seemed to love writing.

It said:

My first visit home wasn't my last. Tonight I'm going to take a few samples of your fine drinks.

See you soon,

Phantom Skye.

What did he mean by home? This man really is a thief of mystery.

"Well, what did you find out Sally?" Chris asks while reading.

Sally turns her laptop around to where everyone could see.

It had a picture of a silver haired man, his eyes were closed and he was smiling a smile people would either consider calm or mischievous.

This Phantom Skye had a leopard-print jacket and a silver necklace dangling from a thin string.

"Hmm...now I know what my dad meant when he said "Oh joy...pretty boy's back." What's with his appearance?" Ben asked while sipping some grape soda.

"That doesn't matter right now, here's the information I got form this website." Sally says while scrolling down to an area with many words.

It said-"This phantom thief is wanted in many areas including the quiet village of Forget-Me-Not-Valley. He makes a living of stealing things from food to priceless objects. One of the many odd things about Phantom Skye is that he actually warns his victims ahead of time before the robbery. Phantom Skye is also known as a smooth talker with female victims,which is one of the reasons he doesn't get caught. The other reason is that he seems to know a magical spell known as "chick-beam" that paralyzes people for a certain amount of time. Other information has still been unavailable to us so if you know anything else about this criminal please contact us. Phantom Skye is wanted dead or alive and he's worth 100,000,000,000 g.

"Wow, I haven't seen so many zeroes in my life!" Violet says with widened eyes.

"Chick-beam?" David asked with confusion in his tone. Looking at Sally.

"Like I know why he named it that!" Sally says, obviously worried about tonight's crime.

I began to think. There has to be a way to get him. Brute force won't work, neither will just chasing him away, we need a strategy.

I thought and thought and something came.

My plan wasn't perfect, but I hope I get approval from everyone.

"Um...I have an idea." I get the courage to choke out, facing whatever they think of it.

Everyone turns to me.

"If one or two girls volunteer to come Gaurd the front and easily s-surrender to Phantom Skye, he'll think that's all we sent in. Even of he does expect more people we'll just place the remaining girl...and one boy guarding the drinks. I-If they surrender easily as well, Phantom S-Skye will think that's...all we sent. Then while he's stealing t-the remaining to boys will be hiding in the b-back room and they'll run out and...tackle him." I managed to get all that out. I actually got my plan out. I felt sort of..proud.

"That's awesome!" Ben says, giving me a smile and thumbs up.

"I like it!" My sister says following by a bunch of smiles from the people who heard me.

I knew my face was getting red and I give a sheepish grin.

"Okay! How about Rose and Sally guard the outside, then Chris and I will guard the drink racks, and when the little decoy trick is over David and Ben will tackle him into the ground!" Violet says with excitement. She was obviously looking forward to the action.

"If that's okay with you, sis." Violet says while looking at me, giving me a warm smile.

I nod my head and everyone agreed on my strategy.

"Okay, so we'll start around...how about 10-ish?" David asks while looking at the clock.

It was about 6:00 p.m. right now.

Before anyone else could say anything we saw the door fly open, revealing a younger- looking girl with black hair in braids, light purple eyes, and an angry expression. She was apparently looking at David.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE PLANNING TO TAKE DOWN PHANTOM SKYE!!!????" The girl asked in an extremely loud voice.

"Ow..my poor eardrums..they'll never recover." Ben murmured while rubbing his ears.

David looked annoyed.

"Because it has nothing to do with you!" David said back angrily.

"Why not?!" The girl asks with the same angry tone.

"Because you're my LITTLE sister!"

"I'm not little! I'm thirteen! Stop being so overprotective you big idiot!"

"Pfft! I couldn't care less about you! But this is a real thief! So go play with your dolls or something!"

"SHUT UP!"

"GO HOME KIMMY!"

"You're not the boss of me I'm staying!"

"You're such a pest!"

They went on and on arguing for a while.

"They're at it again..." Sally says with a bored expression. "Don't they ever take a break form fighting?"

Sally then takes a glass of water and tosses its contents onto David.

"That's cold! What was that for!?" David asks furiously while the girl laughs.

"Grow up! Kimmy can be a part of this if she wants to. you are pretty overprotective sometimes!"
Sally says while glaring at him.

I quickly grab my cloth from my dress pocket and hand it to David. I didn't like seeing people so mad.

"Thanks.." David says, calming down a little as he dries his face.

"Well it's settled! I'm helping you guys!" The girl says with a firm voice.

"Great! You can be a front decoy!" Violet says a little too cheerfully.

the girl looked confused so we told her everything from the start.

"Okay, got it. My name's Kimmy by the way. I'm David's sister. Nice to meet you." Kimmy says while looking at both of us.

"You too." Violet replies.

We all waited at the bar until the clock struck nine.

"Okay, time to get ready." Chris says while getting into his position with Violet next to him.

I followed the girls outside and we stood side by side, awaiting the silver thief.

About five minutes passed until we heard soft footsteps coming from behind the building.

We exchange nods and we soon see a man that looked almost identical to the picture on the website.

"Well hello, lovely young woman. What a nice night it is, but it's nothing compared to your beauty. Especially yours." Phantom Skye says while pointing at me.

My face got red but I still stood my ground. I'm not going to flee, not at a time like this.

He opened his eyes and what I saw shocked me.

He had sea greenish eyes, very similar to my own. And he was much paler in person, nearly the shade of my and my sister's own skin.

I was almost dazed at our resemblance. And for a moment, he also seemed shocked.

"Don't give us that crap!" Kimmy says in an irritated manner. Snapping me out of it.

"You better not touch ONE bottle!" Sally says, looking mad as well.

The man shrugged and let out a sigh.

"I really hate to do this....but..." Phantom Skye says while pointing a finger at us.

"CHICK...BEAM...." He begins.

Here goes...

Phantom Skye was still looking at me, nothing was happening....was he...hesitating?

The silver man looked away and continued.

"CHICK BEAM FIRE!!" Phantom Skye yells very quickly.

My body felt stiff and numb at the same time. I couldn't move anything but my eyes. The others were frozen as well and Phantom Skye walked past us, swiftly glanced at me, and went through the door.

We listened carefully and I prayed that everything will work out.

Hope you liked it! Okay, first, let's get the whole eye color thing out of the way. I'm sorry that I didn't give an exact description of Rose's eye color. AND in my opinion Skye's eye color is a cross between green and blue. (Don't hurt me if I'm wrong!) Which I call sea green. Or sea blue. Whatever you guys prefer to call it.

And I'm beginning to see as a writer that Rose is beginning to break out of her shyness a little.

BTW- it's getting pretty obvious with the hints I dropped, eh?

BTW (again)- I don't know if people who catch criminals even GET money...I haven't really looked that up. (I've been reading to much One Piece. lol.)

Sorry for OCC-ish characters, errors of any kind, etc.
