Hello there! It is me again! Before I get to the story, I would like to say I am so very sorry for the whole format thing! I am so sorry if it hurt your eyes, because I am a total newbie at this stuff.
Jill: Hey YukinaMizuki! I got Skye back for you!
Me: Thanks a bunch Jill! ... How did you get him to come here?
Jill: I just asked.
Skye: You called that asking?
Jill: Yep. Anyways … YukinaMizuki told me you won't do the disclaimer… so do the disclaimer please.
Skye: YukinaMizuki does not own harvestmoon, handsome me, pretty Jill, or any of the characters!
Me: Wow, how come he listens to you?
Jill: Because he listens to me.
Me: ….Okay…. on with the story!
(Normal POV)
It was winter, nearly coming to a close. They found out that Claire has left the valley and that she wasn't coming back. The villagers didn't know what to feel.
Should they be happy that she was finally gone? Or should they be sad because the person who usually supplied them with everything they need is no longer here? Sure, they had Vesta, and Van came to the valley once in awhile, but Claire was the best farmer ever.
" I think it's the best thing that's happened to the valley in awhile." Said Marlin, one of the boys who got his heart broken by her.
"Yes, we know that, but without her, who will make us prosper? " said Ruby, the one who always tries to be optimistic, though she can't really be optimistic when this was the same farmer who broke her son's heart.
This was the villagers discussion because, even if Claire just left yesterday, word spreads fast in the valley…especially when the news is about this particular farmer.
"Wait!... I…have… news." Mayor Thomas said out of breath because he ran all the way from mineral town.
"What kind of news?" The villagers chorused.
"Just… news. About…Claire… and the farm." Mayor Thomas replied nervously. To be honest, Mayor Thomas had bad experiences with Claire, mostly because Claire loved hitting him with a hammer.
" A new person has decided to take the job… but she is the sister of Claire…" Mayor Thomas said.
"Wait, what!" all the villagers exclaimed.
"Please, let me explain!" Mayor Thomas said.
" Okay, explain. Now." Said Nami, who really hated Claire, even before this whole thing happened.
"It all started when.." Mayor Thomas started.
... FLASHBACK...
Mayor Thomas was in a mess. Claire left the farm in a horrible state. All the animals are dead, the plants shrivelled up, and the whole place was so deserted that no one would even consider taking over the farm!... or so he thought. Suddenly, he got a phone call.
"Hello?" Mayor Thomas said when he picked up the phone.
" I would like to take over the farm, and I will pay any price for it." The girl on the phone said.
" Wait, how did you know that we need a new farmer?" Mayor Thomas asked suspiciously.
" Do you want me to take over the farm or not? I'll even pay you a lot of money." The girl on the line said impatiently.
" Who are you?" Mayor Thomas asked.
"…. I am Jill… sister of Claire…" She replied.
" Wait! I can't Hire you! Sorry!" Mayor Thomas said hurriedly. He did not want another Claire, But she said something that made him change his mind.
" Please, give me a chance… I really need this… Please." She said.
"It's…only way…away from…her…be quick…or she will find me… "Jill mumbled this, and her voice was very low, so Mayor Thomas wasn't sure, but he suspects she meant that she has to leave before Claire finds her…and something bad happens.
The way she said it was different. She sounded on the verge of tears. She also had something about her that made him change his mind.
"… Fine…. Arrive here on Spring 1…. Don't be late…" Mayor Thomas said.
"Thank you so much! I am truly grateful!" She exclaimed.
" Alright, I'll see you here!" The Mayor Thomas laughed. When he closed the phone, he realized one of the other things that made him change his mind, She sounded like an innocent child, who was energetic and will probably not affect the villagers in a bad way, nothing like her sister, who was crafty and sly, changing the villagers lives forever. In a very bad way.
...…END FLASHBACK…...
"So that's why I decided to hire her even though I don't really know if she will be an asset to forget-me-not valley." Mayor Thomas finished.
"… alright, we'll give her a chance… I guess…" said Gustaffa, who didn't really like Claire because she was the one who made Gustaffa become more careful in trusting people…that, and because he also got his heart broken by Claire. Even though, he always gave people a chance no matter who they are.
Most of the villagers have the same personality. It's one of those things that people admire and take advantage of.
All the other villagers agreed with Gustaffa. They may not know who Jill is, they may not know how she acts, and she could possibly act like Claire, but they always give someone a chance. Always.
After this, they all went to the beach to celebrate the New Year. The New Year without Claire, the New Year with someone else who could be different, and the New Year were they will change some of their personalities, in short, a new life.
"5…4…3…2…1….HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the villagers exclaimed.
"Yes, now let's make the best of the new year! One year ends, while another year begins!" Mayor Thomas said to the villagers, thus ending the celebration.
As everyone went home and everyone thought no one was at the beach, a figure emerged from the trees, and stared at the sea.
"This year… wasn't my best year…" the figure said silently to the waves.
"…But this new year will be different… I, the phantom thief Skye, will be much better at controlling my emotions and won't let it get the better of me…" he vowed.
And then Skye left the beach, this time, there really wasn't anyone there. All that was left was the sand, the water and the memories and promises that were made there.
So…I hope I improved now. As always, you don't need to review, but that would be nice. I would also like to thank the people (people are the only ones who read this stuff… right?) who actually reviewed and told me what I needed to improve. Thanks a bunch!
