Popuri: Hey all the readers out in the world!

Elli: YukinaMizuki isn't available-

(Hear banging from a closet and a voice oddly like YukinaMizuki screaming help)

Karen: Shut up Yukina!

Ann: DON'T MIND THAT! YukinaMizuki is… ummm…

Rick: She's on a vacation with Kai for the summer!

(Kai walks into the room)

Gray: Bad timing. Get out of the room Kai.

Kai: Hmph. It's good to see I'm not appreciated!

Popuri: That's not true!

Rick: Grr…Kai…wish… wasn't… here….

Doctor&Mary: YukinaMizuki doesnot own us-

(Skye & Jill barge in)

Skye: Chick…Beam…Fire! Jill, get Yukina!

Jill: Got it!

(Everyone from mineral town freezes, even the boys, oddly… then Jill frees YukinaMizuki from the closet)

Me: Thanks guys! Now… Why did you lock me in the closet?

Everyone from mineral town: BECAUSE YOU DON'T LET US DO THE DISCLAIMER!

Me: That's because you don't have a story yet! But you are getting one soon, then you guys get to do the disclaimer!

Karen: …oh… well that's embarrassing…. anyways…

Everyone in the room: READ THE STORY!

CHAPTER 6

(Normal POV)

It was a beautiful evening... all farm work was done, and the farmer of forget-me-not valley was just quietly reading a book beside the tree that was near the spring. She sighed contentedly as she breathed in the midnight air.

"Skye, get out of that tree and sit down." Jill said, turning the page of her book.

"Great, a thief is supposed to hide in the shadows, not seen like a bright star in the dark sky" Skye said, sitting next to Jill.

"Well, who can't see you? You crave more attention than Rock!" Jill retorted, still reading her book.

"I'm sure you know why I crave attention 'princess','' Skye said using the old nickname he gave her.

That made Jill stop reading her book.

"...it took you long enough Skye." Was all Jill said.

"Awww... don't you miss me? ... Jill?" Skye said, noticing Jill disappeared from her spot, her book the only evidence of her being there before.

Skye was wondering where she went. Did he even talk to Jill? He did hear about the harvest sprites who love to trick people just because they're bored, but then he got tackled from above by the farmer.

"...and that's how you hide in the shadows Phantom Thief," Jill smirked triumphantly.

"Wow...h-how did you do that... are you a thief?" Skye asked, bewildered.

"Ok, story time!" Jill sang, sitting down next to Skye, and began her story.

(Into the past...) (Don't be confused, this is the past ok?)

Young, 8 year old Jill looked at her new 'father.' Not like she'd call him that... for her, she has only one dad, and he disappeared (she doesn't like saying 'died') a long time ago, before she was even born.

"Well Jill, welcome to your new home Jill! My daughter will be so happy to have a playmate!" the man said.

"Hi daddy!" a girlish voice rang out throughout the house.

Just by hearing her voice, Jill knew this would be bad. Then she saw a blond girl with blue eyes coming down the stairs skipping towards her father. She stopped in mid-skip, seeing Jill beside her father.

"Oh, you brought me a friend daddy?" Claire asked. The way she said it was like a kid asking if she got a new pet hamster to torture or something.

"Yes honey. Now why don't you two talk first? I'll be back." Claire's dad said, leaving the room.

"Hehe.. We're going to have so much FUN!" Claire giggled mischievously.

Well, what Claire had planned wasn't fun. Not at all. And young Jill knew that.

(Now, we go back to the present...)

"...and then, as I grew up, she always made my life miserable. Even until my teen years, she ordered me to make these gifts for her latest boyfriends. My only solace was stealing. It makes me feel like there is no Claire, and it was a great feeling. And that's basically it." Jill finished.

"That was a nice story, Princess," Skye said after she finished.

"Ugh...that was emotionally draining..." Jill moaned, laying her head on Skye's lap, much to Skye's embarrassment.

"Now it's your turn 'prince of the stars,'" Jill said, still lying down on Skye.

"Okay...it started when..." Skye started.

(Into the past...again)(Skye's turn!)

"Where is she?" Young 9 year old Skye asked the caretaker of the orphanage... again.

"How many times do I have to tell you that it's strictly confidential?" The caretaker said.

"Aw, c'mon!" Skye exclaimed, stomping out of the house, onto the playground.

"Hey Mr. Weirdo!(8-9 year old kids aren't very creative with names...) You're girlfriend left you?" One of the resident bullies sneered.

"Just because I have silver hair doesn't mean I'm weird, and she is not my girlfriend!" Skye replied.

'Not you're girlfriend...yet!' a small voice in his head said, but he ignored it.

"...whatever..." Skye mumbled, busy looking at the fence that divides the playground and the forest.

"Now how am I going to get over the fence...?" Skye wondered aloud.

"I-I'll help you..." a boy with (White? Beige? Cream Colored?) Hair and glasses said.

"T-thanks, I really need to find my best friend!" Skye said.

"W-well, I can give you a boost..." the boy suggested.

The two boys tried it, and it worked. Skye was over the fence in no time.

"Thanks...by the way, I'm Skye, how about you?" Skye asked.

"I'm Mikhail... (Yes, a cameo from Mikhail...don't judge me! Oh, and he isn't really important in the story…) I used to be in the orphanage, until my mentor adopted me..." (Just something random here...) Mikhail said, looking at the floor.

"Oh… well nice to meet you Mikhail, I know it's pretty weird asking this, but do you have any advice or information about a girl with brown hair who just got adopted yesterday?" Skye asked him.

"Actually… I do. My mentor said he used to play the violin for the man who adopted that girl you mentioned. He also said that the man and his family never stay long in one place and they're never in the same place twice. I hope that helps Skye… and good luck," Mikhail informed Skye, leaving the playground.

"Hmmm… never in the same place, huh? ... well it seems I have a lot of work to do…" Skye said, going on his mission to find his best friend.

(Ok, now we're back to the present again!)

"…then I realized that I need to actually live to find you. So, in order to live, I had to steal… soon, stealing wasn't for survival… it became my profession. What was good about the stealing was that it took me to different places as I kept trying to find you. Then I met Claire, blah, blah, and then she broke my heart, and you know the rest." Skye said with a big sigh.

Suddenly, Jill hugged Skye with tears on her face.

"S-skye… I… I can't believe you did that…" Jill cried onto his shoulder.

"Promise me, that you won't leave me…" Jill said quietly.

"I promise Jill… I will never leave you, even if it kills me," Skye vowed.

Skye and Jill felt a twinge in their heart, and they had this weird feeling.

'What is this weird feeling…?' They both wondered.

(In the spring of the harvest goddess…)

"In all my years of living, I've never seen such a beautiful couple…" the Harvest Goddess murmured, looking at the brunette farmer who was now sleeping on the silver haired thief's lap.

"But… wait a minute… what's this?... oh no, there is going to be an obstacle in the way of their happy ending… Skye and Jill… be careful… this is going to test your love, once and for all," the Harvest Goddess said sadly, knowing fully well what's going to happen next. And it's not going to be pleasant.

Hehe… I'm sorry for putting this upon the couple, but I had to. R&R if you like, but you don't need to… I don't really know if this chapter is any good, because it was mostly focused on the past.

Jill: YukinaMizuki, do you really have a story planned for the people of mineral town?

Me: ehh… a little, but I forgot to tell them that I'm planning to make it after this story…

Skye: Oh, ok… now you will see me again in the next chapter… oh, and everyone else too.
