Disclaimer: I do not own Rune Factory or the characters, they belong to Natsume. I gave all the characters family names except Godwin because his name made a good family name so I gave a first name instead. No Yu-gi-oh references were made in this story.
Author's note: Hello everyone. This your Elvengoddess. I must apologize taking a full year to update this stoy, but life and writer's block got in the way of making this story, but enough excuses, the story continues...
Year 0, Winter 24, 1:30 p.m. Mt Clemens viewing platform,
Looking up at the sky, I watch clouds drift by. "Since when have I become such a lazy farmer," I ask myself, "I know winter doesn't produce much in the way of crops, but I have never been this lazy about my farm. Rosetta has been trying to get me to at least tidy up my fields, but I just don't feel motivated to clean them up. Did falling in love do something to my ability to farm. Am I in love? I don't know? Maybe, she is a rather cute for a 14-year-old girl." I start to blush as I start to think about Tori, "I wonder what I should get her for her 15th birthday?" I lay back and watch the clouds roll by for little longer. At about 2:30, I get up to head home and get my bath supplies, though Melody provides a lot of the essentials already.
As I climb down Mt. Clemens, I see Melody walking back to town, "Hey Melody," I call to her.
"Oh hi Mist," Melody answers in a sweet voice. My face turns bright red whenever she uses that sweet voice of hers. I used have this biggest crush on Melody a few years ago; however, when I confessed to her, she rejected me saying that I was too late and she already asked Sharron out . To my surprise, Sharron accepted Melody's offer. To my knowledge, Sharron and Mel are still together. "How are you?"
"I am doing fine," I answer, "still sad that you rejected me."
"Mist," Melody explained, "I rejected you for two reasons."
"Oh, really," I say still a little sad.
"Yes," Melody says calmly, "One is I had already asked Sharron out by the time you asked me, Mist."
"And the second reason?" I asked.
"While I do love you, Mist," Melody explains, "I couldn't see us together long term. I saw you with another person, but not even I know who it is at this point."
"You wouldn't tell me anyway," I respond somewhat jokingly, "as long as it wasn't Zavier. I can't stand him. Honestly, he needs to pulls his head out of his ass and stop being so jealous every time I talk to another guy."
"Agreed," Melody confirms, "I wish Lady Ann or Tori would knock some sense into him already."
"You know Tori won't," I reply, "she much too timid for that." We arrive at Gigant Hot Springs just as it started snowing. 'Snow is very pretty maybe I'll make a snow angel with Tori later.' I blush at the thought.
Melody notices me blushing, "What are thinking about, Mist," Melody asks me mischievously.
My face becomes as red as a cherry tomato, "Nothing," I say quickly, "certainly not thinking about making a snow angel with Tori. Absolutely not, no way." I run into the girls' changing room before I can say anything that make me faint from embarrassment. However, what I didn't notice is that Tori heard everything...
Author's note: Poor Mist, complete unaware that Tori heard the snow angel idea. Melody is so mean sometimes. The next chapter will either be Tori or Mist. With Tori's birthday approaching, Mist will be trying to figure out what Tori's present will be.
