I stretch. It was time to start working. I walked outside and saw Gannon and Taro talking to each other.
"Hello."I said. They looked over at me.
"Hey there, Chelsea."Gannon said. He was grinning ear to ear."I've got a present for ya!"
"A present?"I asked suspiciously. Taro chuckled.
"Come here."He said. I walked over to the two man and notice a building out of the corner of my eye. It was small, but bigger then my house, and had a green roof. It was place behind my field full of Turnips, Cucumbers, and Strawberries that I had planted yesterday.
"What is that?"I asked, my eyes wide. Taro and Gannon laughed at my expression.
"That's a Chicken Coop!"Taro said."You have been doing so well, even though you just started, that I thought you were ready for anilmals."
"Really?"I asked. Gannon smiled.
"Yes. I built it last night."He said. I did wonder how he built it in one night without me even noticing, but I didn't care. I was so excited about having my own animals that I hugged him.
"We should have some animal dealers coming over in a day or so."Taro said."I'll so you how to take care of them once you get some."
"Thank you very much."I said, unable to keep the excitement out of my voice. They turned to leave.
"Oh! And Chelsea,"Taro said, turning around."The path Gannon cleared of has two islands near it. It looks like they used to have bridges, but they been torn down from being left alone for all these years. So if you collect enough wood, we can rebuild them."
"Actually"I said."I have some extra wood behind the house."It was true. I had used the axe Taro had given me to chop wood. I figured it could probably be used for something, and I was right.
I walked over with them to where the wood was. Gannon said it would be enough for one bridge, but we needed enough for three. I told him I would start storing up. We said our goodbyes and they left.
I couldn't help but smile while working. I was getting some new animals, helping make the island better, and I was getting use to working on the farm life so it wasn't as difficult as before. I think staying here wasn't such a bad idea as all.
I had finish my work, and was about to head into town, when I heard someone call my name. I turned around and scanned the area, but no one was there. I begin to walk toward the town (again), when someone I heard my name (again). It was starting to get really annoying.
"Who is there?"I called out, turning around.
"ME!"said a voice."I right in front of you!"
I jumped back a little. There was no one in front of me."You would not happen to be dead by any chance, would you?"I asked.
"No! Just looked down, silly!"The voice said. I looked down and gasp. A person about half a foot tall, dress in a red elf's outfit was in front of me. I bent down to get a closer look.
"I'm Agate and I'm also a-hey put me down!"He said. I had reach out and hugged him.
"You are so cute!"I said. And he was. His green hair and little hat, along with his outfit, made him look just like a elf.
"Put me down!"He said. I placed him back down on the grass."Thank you. Now, as I was saying, I am a Harvest Spite. We can't be seen by ordinary people, unless we want them to. We've decided to help you because of what your doing for the island! We live over there."He pointed out to the water and started to walk.
"Wait! Who is 'we' and do you live in the water? "I asked, but he just kept walking towards the water. He was fast for someone only half a foot tall. I ran after him, but then lost sight of him. I checked on the bottom of my shoes to make sure I didn't step on him. I then started to wonder if the food here made you hallucinate.
"Hey! What are you doing? Come on!"He said. I looked up and saw him standing above the water. He turned around and begin walking once more. I ran after him, but stop when I got to the edge. I carefully put my foot out and felt ground underneath it, even though all I saw was water. Just them, leaves appeared in the water. And I'm not talking about the on that falls from trees, I mean these were as big as mt house and created some sort of walkway through the water. I walked down the path and came to a bigger what looked like the main leaf for the Harvest Sprites.
There was seven of them in all. They all had the same outfit as Agate, only in different colors. After staring at them for a while, I notice it was the same colors as a rainbow would have.
"Uh...Hello."I said. They all said hello back.
"This is Harvest Sprite Island!"Agate explained."And there something I need to ask you to do."
I looked at him."And what would that be?"
"To get the Harvest Sprites back! There are actually forty-nine of us, but at the last Harvest Sprite meeting, they got into a fight and split up. The seven of us are trying to get them back together.
I begin to wonder what they would do at there meetings.
"I'm Cinnabar!"Said one dress in orange.
"Hi! I'm Primose! We should go shopping together! I found this-"A one dress in yellow said that, but interrupted by the one dress in blue.
"Shut up, Primose. The name's El."He said.
"The amazing Matcha is here!"One in green shouted.
"I'm Indigo!"One dress in indigo said. She giggled."Oops. I mean my name is Seiran! My favorite color is indigo!"
"And I-I'm Wisteria."The final one, dress in purple stuttered.
"There is six others, beside us, for each color."Agate explained."All you have to do is give us presents and I'm sure the others will come once they hear how nice you are! And this will be difficult so I will give you something in return."
Something in return? Today was a good day. I got to meet some cute little elves and another present! Even if they were lying so I would give them presents I still got something in return.
"We can help you on your farm and let you see how people feel about you."Agate said. I blinked.
"Let me see how other feels about me?"I asked."And how are you going to do that?"
"I just did."El said from behind me, and I jumped."We can use magic, you know."
"That is amazing!"I said, and looked up at the sky. It was almost dark out."Oh, man. I have to go. see you tomorrow!"I ran in till I came to Taro's house and knocked on the door. Felicia answer it.
"Oh, hello Chelsea! How are you?"She asked.
"I am fine today. Thank you for asking ."I said.
"My, my! What good manners! You should try to teach some of them to my children."She giggled.
"Is Taro around?"I asked.
"My father is out right now, but he should be back soon. Why don't you come in till he gets back?"She suggested, and then pulled me in before I had a chance to answer it.
Natalie and Elliott looked up at me. They were carrying boxes.
"Uh...Hello."I said awkwardly.
"I'll be right back!"Felicia announced and then left through the open door. I looked around the house. It was pretty big, with a giant table to my right. The kitchen was in front of that and a door that I guess lead to there room was near the end.
"What are you guys doing?"I asked.
"Shipments."Natalie answered."We ship the things you harvest to the people who ordered them. It's been really busy lately, so I guess you're doing a good job."
I felt my cheeks blush."Thank you."I said and looked over at Elliott."Do you need any help?"I asked.
"No. I got this, but thanks."He said. I almost gasp.
Above his head was a tiny black heart. I didn't know what it was, but it was freaking me out.
We can make you see how other people feel about you! Agate had said that. I wonder if this was what he meant. Only one way to find out.
I walked over to Elliott, and jabbed at the heart with my hand.
"What are you doing?"Elliott asked. I stopped and blinked. The heart moved out of the way when I jabbed at it. I tried to hit again, but it still moved.
"Seriously! What are you doing?"Natalie asked.
"Uh...a bug! Yeah, I saw a bug by you, so I thought I would try to get it away."I said quickly and let out a nervous laugh.
"A bug?"Natalie said."It's a good thing you did that, 'cuz Elliott afraid of them."She laughed.
"I am not!"Elliott said. His face was red, if it was from anger or from embarrassment I'm not sure.
"There no need to be embarrass about it."I said. I felt bad because I was the one who cause Natalie to say it."I don't like bugs that much either."
Elliott smiled at me. I smiled back. I looked at the heart that was near him and it took everything in my body not to freak out.
It was purple.
"What's wrong?"Elliott asked. I looked at him.
"I have to go! I'll see you guys tomorrow!"I said and ran out the door.
WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?I screamed in my head.
I sighed. I would have to talk to Agate and the other Harvest Sprites tomorrow. I began to make my way home, because now seemed like a pretty good time for bed.
Author's Note:Hello everyone and thanks so much for reading and review! I would like to say thank you to the people who did the googlewhack and reviewed about it! And even if you didn't, thank you so much for just reading my Author's Note. I realize that the Harvest Sprite leaf island is only in the Sunshine Island version, but I wanted it in the story, so think of it as a crossover. Now it's time to get back to your missions.
Mission: Try the googlewhack again. This will be your mission in till the story ends.
Mission two: Try to make up a new word. Think about spelling, what it means, and how to pronounce it! I will use this in my story!
