Hey Everyone! As always, YukinaMizuki at your service! I'm happy again since the last problem, and here to do the disclaimer is…
?: Dum-da-da-DAA! It is I, The Amazing Harvest Goddess!
Me: Yep, she's doing the disclaimer… take it away H.G.!
H. Goddess: (giggles) you got it Yukina! YukinaMizuki does not own Harvest Moon, Me, or any of the characters!
Me: Now… to the story!
=CHAPTER 11=
(Normal POV)
It was a beautiful and sunny day (thanks to the Harvest Goddess). Perfect for their plan. Jill was walking around the inn, when she passed by Rock.
"Hey babe. You look beautiful as always!" Rock winked.
"Thanks Rock!" Jill giggled, making Rock blush. 'I can't believe she giggled at that! She usually just ignores my flirting…yeah; Rock man is back in the game baby!' Rock thought.
"Hey Rock…do you want to hang out for awhile?" Jill asked. "U-uhh…sure! That would be awesome!" Rock agreed, shocked this was happening all of a sudden.
"Well c'mon!" Jill laughed, taking his hand. What they didn't know was, someone was watching with hatred. And he was following them.
As they were crossing the bridge that led to Vesta's farm, Jill slipped and nearly fell in to the water. Luckily, Marlin grabbed her just in time, though the sudden weight caused both of them to come toppling over each other.
"T-thank you so much Marlin…" Jill blushed.
"No problem. The only important thing is you're safe," Marlin replied, causing both of them to blush. Then the sound of someone clearing his voice got them to look up.
"Ok guys, I think you can get up now," Rock said. Jill quickly got up, realizing she was still on Marlin.
"Oh…s-sorry Marlin…" Jill apologized.
"It's alright Jill," Marlin reassured. The three of them talked for awhile about the weather and stuff like that.
"Guys…I have to go somewhere for awhile ok? I'll see ya later!" Jill waved, leaving the two boys. When Jill was out of hearing range, Marlin and Rock turned on each other and started bickering.
"Ugh, why did you have to show up? I was already making my moves on her!" Rock complained.
"Oh really? I can really see your moves working on her when she was about to fall in the water!" Marlin retorted.
"I was GOING to save her, until you came around!" Rock defended. They were bickering in the middle of the road, until a hooded figure pushed both of them out of the way; going in the direction that Jill went.
"Hey!" Both Rock and Marlin exclaimed, frowning at the figure who didn't even seem to care that he pushed them.
Soon, Jill went to the different people in the valley. She listened to an original love song from Gustafa; was given a diamond by Carter who 'found' it when he was looking for artifacts; Griffin even closed his bar just so he can talk to her; and while she was doing this, the figure still followed her everywhere, his anger increasing every time.
So as the sun sets, Jill sat near the Harvest sprite tree just sitting there and closing her eyes.
"Hey…are you Jill?" a boy with brown hair, blue overalls, and a hat asked her. Jill looked up to see a very handsome man who was smiling at her.
"Y-yeah…I'm Jill…" Jill replied standing up from her spot near the harvest sprite tree.
"Really? You're prettier than I expected," The boy said. He didn't even sound like he was flirting. He just said what was on his mind.
"T-thanks…so…who are you?" Jill blushed.
"Me? I'm Jack. Nice to meet you!" Jack replied with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too. So why were you looking for me?" Jill asked.
"Well…I'm also a farmer from a different place, and I decided to check on this town and on this farm. When I saw how well the farm was maintained, I asked Takakura who the farmer here was, and he told me it was you. So the whole day, I went all over town looking for you. Then I remembered. If I was taking a break, where would I stay? So I came here near the Harvest Goddess spring, and here you are," Jack explained.
"Wow. You actually went around the whole town trying to find me?" Jill asked with a blush.
"Y-yeah…I really needed to find you. I don't know why, but it's as if the Harvest Goddess was telling me that you will be a very important person in my life…and I think she was right. I feel something about you…that is different than any other feeling I've had for anyone else…" Jack said, blushing.
"…J-Jack…" She mumbled, looking at the floor.
"J-Jill…I think I…love…" Jack said, leaning in to kiss her, when suddenly, the figure revealed himself to be (obviously) Skye, with a look of pure fury. (Or jealousy….)
"Grr…I can NEVER trust you Jill! I followed you around all day and all you did was, go with other guys, and leaving me! And now you are about to kiss this guy that you just met? I can't believe you at all!" Skye shouted at Jill. Then Gray appeared next to Jill, holding her hand.
"Leave her alone Skye! At least she's happy! Even though I love her, and I really want to be with her, I want her to be happy! I will be content with just seeing her smile, even if I am not the cause of it." Gray shouted at Skye. Gray's sudden confession of loving Jill just made Skye so angry, he might just explode.
"NOW!" Jill screamed. Then suddenly, the Harvest Goddess tackled Skye to the ground, and held him in place. While Skye was busy struggling, Witch Princess came out with a vial, and started chanting. When all of the jealousy was sucked out, Skye was still struggling, and was still mad.
"Huh? What's going on?" Jill asked confused.
"Well…the effect is sort of late. In order for it to work fully, we have to knock him out," Witch Princess explained. Before anyone can react, the Harvest Goddess punched Skye in the face, knocking him out. Everyone in the room was shocked.
"Hee hee hee! Now who said I can't be violent?" The Harvest Goddess giggled, giving Skye another kick for good measure.
"Finally…that's done…" Jill sighed.
"Yeah…hey Gray…that was really good acting. It seemed like you really loved Jill," Witch Princess commented.
"Y-yeah…thanks…so what do we do with Jack?" Gray asked, changing the subject. The Harvest Goddess gave a knowing look, but answered Gray's question.
"Well…actually he's not real. He was actually just made from magic. I'll just dismiss him," The Harvest Goddess answered, casting a spell, causing Jack to disappear.
"Well, the Harvest Goddess can be violent, but I can be romantic!" Witch Princess bragged.
"Yes Witchie. We know, it was your idea, and it actually worked," Jill replied.
"You got that right! Now let's get Skye home," Witch Princess said.
"…I think I'll just stay here…" Gray mumbled.
"Me too…anyways, my spring is here…" The Harvest Goddess added.
"Hmph, I guess the Harvest Goddess doesn't want to help…isn't she lazy…" the Witch Princess grumbled.
"Just leave her alone. Let's just get Skye home…" Jill requested.
"Got it…ugh, he's so heavy! It must be all the curry…" Witch Princess groaned as they carried him and started walking.
"Y'know…you could just poof him to his house…" Jill reminded her.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Witch Princess asked.
"You didn't ask!" Jill defended. Gray smiled at how they were acting.
When they were out of hearing range, Gray sighed. Then the Harvest Goddess looked at him.
"You really do love her don't you?" the Harvest Goddess asked. Gray didn't answer. He just looked at the moon and the stars.
"Yeah…but as long as she's happy…" Gray replied after a long silence. The Harvest Goddess understood, and just nodded. Then both of them jumped at someone who was laughing behind them. It was Claire.
"Hehehe…so dear little Gray is in love with my sister…and he actually managed to ruin my plan… oh, but I have one more thing up my sleeve..." Claire giggled like it was the funniest thing in the world. Gray glared at her. And the Harvest Goddess frowned.
"What. Did. You. Do?" Gray asked, with clenched teeth. Claire beamed (the way a kid who did something they were proud of smiled).
"Oh, you'll find out for yourselves…" Claire laughed, leaving in the blink of an eye (it turns out she also stole the teleport potion…)
"Harvest Goddess! Gray!" Witch Princess shouted after them.
"What? What happened?" Gray asked, worry evident in his voice.
"J-Jill…CLAIRE DID SOMETHING TO JILL!" Witch Princess shouted.
"Oh no…." The Harvest Goddess whispered.
"This is very bad," All three of them said.
Ooops….sorry for the cliffhanger. Oh no, what does Claire have up her sleeve now? It seems she has never ending plans… Well, I'll see if I can update soon, and I hope you're ok with this Chapter. See you guys next time!
