Hi everyone. Let's go to the story now, and the person to do the disclaimer is Gray.
Gray: Hmph. This is a waste of my time.
Me: Well fine. Don't do it. Like I care if you do it or not.
Gray: Wait what? What is wrong with you Yukina?
Me: …It's just… something personal…
Gray: Oh. Umm…YukinaMizuki does not own harvest moon or the characters, and she only owns the story. Uh, on with the story…?
"CHAPTER 10"
(Jill's POV)
I sighed as I continued mining. 'Where are you Skye?' I wondered. He went to his home yesterday, and I haven't seen him since. I was starting to worry. When I was already done, it was late, and I was really tired.
When I took a step out the mine, I tripped. I waited for the impact, but it never came. Instead, two strong arms caught me before I could fall. I turned around and saw that it was Gray.
"Oh, Gray! I'm so sorry!" I apologized.
"Ugh, Jill, be careful next time! I wouldn't want you to get hurt!" Gray warned. Then it occurred to me that I was still in his arms.
"Uhh, Gray? You can let go now…" I said in embarrassment.
"Oh, yeah," Gray blushed, letting go of me.
"Well, I'm going home now. It's getting late," I said after a long period of awkward silence. Then Gray stopped me.
"Wait. I-I think I should walk you home, just to be sure you get there safely," Gray said. And with that, we walked together to the farm.
"So Jill…where's Skye?" Gray asked, to start a conversation.
"W-well…to be honest, I don't know…" I replied sadly.
"Why? When did you last see him?" Gray asked.
"Yesterday. I haven't seen him at all. What if something happened?" I said worriedly.
"Don't worry Jill. I'm sure nothing happened to him," Gray said, trying to reassure me.
"I hope so…" I mumbled under my breath. Then, as we approached my farm, to my delight, I saw Skye. But he didn't seem happy at all.
"Oh…I think I should go Jill. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?" Gray sighed, leaving the farm as quickly as he could.
"Hey Skye! Where have you been?" I shouted while walking towards him. He frowned and waited until I came over.
"Why were you with Gray?" Skye demanded with clenched teeth.
"W-well, I fell, and he decided to walk me home just in case something bad might happen," I answered, wondering why Skye was acting weird.
"I should have been the one to do that!" Skye complained.
"Well, you were supposed to do that, but you weren't even here! Now would you like to explain why you were gone for so long?" I demanded.
"Hmph. You're supposed to be my girlfriend! What is it with you and that blacksmith?" Skye shouted, completely ignoring my question. There was something really wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"What is going on with you Skye?"I asked really worried. I tried to put my hand on his forehead to check his temperature, and he was burning. Then Skye slapped my hand away.
"Just leave me alone Jill! If you really loved me, you would actually be considerate about MY feelings for once!" Skye shouted, storming off. 'What was that about?' I wondered.
"Maybe he needs to cool down for awhile…" I said to myself with a pained expression. Then I decided to rest. Let's just say I didn't sleep well at all. Not while this was happening.
(Time Skip. In the morning)
(Normal POV)
"Jill…Jill…JILL!" Someone screamed in Jill's ear.
"Ahhh!" Jill exclaimed, jumping out of bed. She woke up, seeing Witch Princess floating on top of her bed.
"Yes Witchie?" Jill asked her, using the old nickname she hates.
"Ugh, don't call me that. Anyways…do you have any info about our little dilemma?" She asked.
"N-no…but…" I started to say, but then started crying on Witch Princess' shoulder.
"W-whoa, Jill! Not cool!" Witch Princess complained, but seeing no way to stop this, started patting Jill's back comfortingly.
Now you might think Witch Princess is horrible at comforting people, but actually, she's amazing at it.
"Shh…it's ok Jill…everything is fine…" Witch Princess soothed. After a while of Jill sobbing, and Witch Princess comforting, Witch Princess finally got something out of Jill.
"C'mon Jill. You never cried like this before. What happened?" Witch Princess asked.
"S-skye…" Jill managed to say.
"Skye what? What about Skye?" Witch Princess tried to get out of her.
"S-see f-for y-yourself…" Jill said in between sobs, pointing behind Witch Princess. Witch Princess looked behind her, seeing Skye himself. And he was fuming.
"Great Jill! Now you have Witch Princess to love? What is wrong with you? Can't you ever be left alone without ONE person that won't get your attention? It seems you don't even CARE about me anymore! Even after all I've done for you!" Skye ranted.
"Jill…how long has he been acting like this?" Witch Princess asked calmly.
"E- Ever since y-yesterday… a-and he's b-been burning l-like crazy too…" Jill added.
"I see... Jill… your boyfriend has been hit with a jealousy potion," Witch Princess concluded.
"WHAT! How do you know?" Jill asked uncertainly.
"Well…high fever is one symptom…and do you feel Skye's aura?" Witch Princess asked.
"What's an aura?" Jill questioned.
"Well…it's sort of a distinctive, but a not really easy to describe quality, that surrounds a person or thing…like, can you feel the jealous aura around Skye?" Witch Princess replied.
"Hmm…now that I think about it, I can feel it too…" Jill agreed.
"Ugh…I am never appreciated here…I'm starting to regret some of my decisions…" Skye muttered, storming out the farm.
"The jealousy potion is also the reason why your boyfriend is acting like one of those needy girlfriends you see in movies…" Witch Princess added.
"So, how do we solve this?" Jill asked.
"I'll tell you later. Just continue your farm work. Bye Jill!" Witch Princess shouted, disappearing from the house.
(Gray's POV)
"So, now what do we do?" I asked Claire.
"We wait of course! This plan is going well so far!" Claire exclaimed.
"W-well, how about we go on a date?" I tried to suggest.
"Umm…no. I have to go," Claire replied leaving the room. Then she stopped abruptly.
"Oh, and by the way, we're through. Goodbye boyfriend number 52!" She laughed, leaving me, and my broken heart. She may have said that her plan was perfect, but she forgot one factor. Me.
(Time Skip to Jill finishing farm work. Also, still Gray's POV)
'I can't believe I'm going to do this…this is a very bad idea…' I kept thinking to myself as I headed towards Jill's farm.
"Hey Gray! What's up?" She smiled.
"Umm…hey Jill…I-I just wanted to say that…" I started, but my voice got stuck in my throat.
"That…?" She asked, urging me to go on.
"Thatyoursisterwasplottingaga instyou, andIendeduphelpingherinhersc hemes, and that's all, bye!" I said quickly, trying to run as fast as I could, but then I got grabbed by the collar - and then, next thing I knew, I got slammed to the wall of the farm house.
"YOU WHAT!" She demanded.
"Uhh…Umm…" I stuttered, looking for ways to get out of this, but all of the ways I can think of all end up that I either die, get a part of my body detached, or burst into flames.(Don't ask about the last one…)
"Now tell me clearly and calmly, what you just said," She whispered in my ear, making me shiver in fear. 'I knew this was a bad idea…" I thought to myself.
After I finished explaining, Jill finally let me go.
"So you didn't want to do any of what she said…and you're a victim too?" Jill clarified.
"Yep…" I mumbled, looking down at the floor.
"That's alright Gray, I forgive you…and I'm sorry for scaring you." She apologized.
"Y-yeah…it's okay… now, let's foil her plans!" I said with new determination.
"Good. First, we have to get Skye to snap out of it…let's go to Witch Princess' house. She has something planned." Jill told me, dragging me to the house. But unlike when Claire dragged, me, I didn't mind. And I was just as eager.
(Witch Princess POV)
"Where are those guys?" I sighed to myself. I glanced over at Skye, who was tied up in a chair. Who knew it was so easy to kidnap a thief? All you actually need was some curry powder, a potion, and duct tape. Lots of duct tape.
"Ok, were back!" Jill called.
"Hey Jill. Wait a minute…who is he?" I asked, pointing at the boy next to Jill.
"This is Gray, and he helped Claire in all her schemes...and he helped steal your stuff," Jill explained. When I heard that, I could barely contain my anger.
"HE WHAT!" I exclaimed, going to beat him up, when Jill stopped me.
"Don't worry. I did that for you, and he didn't want to do those things," Jill explained.
"Hmph. Fine. Back to the task at hand… in order to get Skye to stop becoming jealous, we have to get him jealous," I said, waiting for the 'Huh?' and the confused looks.
"Huh?" Both Jill & Gray said confused. (See? I told you they'd do that!)
"Before you even react, let me explain..." I said.
"Jill, remember I told you about auras?" I asked suddenly.
"Yeah," Jill agreed.
"Well…everyone has an aura, but Skye's aura isn't the normal kind. If the aura was normal, I won't be able to do anything at all, since that's just human nature. But this isn't normal, and this is just a spell, so I can probably get rid of it," I explained.
"Yes, but HOW can you get rid of it?" Gray asked.
"Slow down. I was getting to that," I glared. Then Gray shut up.
"Anyways…yes, I can contain the aura in a special container, but I need the abnormal aura to be amplified," I finished.
"So you're saying that we have to get Skye really jealous so that the potion's aura can be seen…" Gray recounted.
"And then you can capture it or something?" Jill finished.
"Yep," I replied, relieved they understood.
"But how do we know if it's really showing?" Gray asked.
"One moment, I think I have a spell that reveals an aura….ah! Here it is!" I exclaimed, picking up my old spell book that was given to me by a friend who lives in Fugue Forest. Then I cast the spell on all four of us.
As the smoke from the spell cleared, you can see some sort of glowing light emitting from each of us. If you looked at me, you'd probably see Violet/Purple because it's the aura of treachery, evil, darkness, etc. (even though I wanted Black, Violet works too…)
If you looked at Gray, surprisingly, you'd see the color Black. The reason is because Black is the color of pain, heartbreak and stuff like that. I guess he's experiencing a lot of pain at the moment.
Jill's…is very strange…I'm actually not sure what her aura is. It's as if…she never has the same aura for long. It's always different. Jill is a very special girl. That much I knew. Now we all focused on Skye. Skye's was Green (obviously) for jealousy.
"Alright…so we have to make Skye jealous huh? Now, do you know how to do that?" Jill asked me.
"Umm…no. I wreck romantic stuff, not make!" I frowned.
"Well, who can help us here?" Gray asked.
"I will!" A musical voice replied. I knew that voice. And I wanted to cover my ears. It's my annoying nemesis. The..the…
"Dum-da-da-DAA! It is I, the amazing Harvest Goddess!" SHE said. I groaned. Why does she have to be here? Her and her white aura that blinds me…
"Hey H.G.!" Jill greeted. Great, even Jill gave a nickname to HER?
"I-its…" Gray reacted with wide eyes.
"YES Gray, we know it's the Harvest Goddess," I said through clenched teeth.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" I demanded.
"To help of course! Love IS my field!" The Harvest Goddess giggled. Ugh, that annoying giggle.
"Hmm…where did Skye go?" I asked to change the subject. We all looked at the chair, and he was gone.
"It doesn't matter; since we will find him soon…now let's do this for Jill!" The Harvest Goddess said in her 'musical' voice.
"Alright, let's just do this…" I sighed in defeat. Then the Harvest Goddess giggled again.
"But I'm only doing this for Jill ok? So don't get any ideas!" I added.
'So now I guess we are doing Love now…somebody kill me now…' I thought, as we got to work on our plan…
Alright…here's that chapter…thanks for the reviews and stuff…don't mind the way I'm acting right now…it's just something going on. See you in the next Chapter everyone!
