Chapter 6
Blitz
I decided being on the defense wouldn't work. If I wanted to get through to Jamie I was going to have to treat him like a human, no matter how he treated me. I needed to play the offense. I needed to Blitz. So, I smiled. "What are you doing here?" he asked angrily. "Well, I'm visiting you and Calvin." I said, and chuckled. "He seems to like mushr-" Jamie cut me off, "What did you just call my dog?!" He asked. "Calvin," I said, slightly shocked at his mood change. "It's Calvervtutrp. Not Calvin." He said bitterly. "Well, Calvervtutrp is sort of a handful to say, so I shortened it," I giggled. Jamie's face turned from shocked to even more angry. "Okay, okay, before you scream at me, here's some jam… I know it's only my first day but, I think we should really work togeth-," he cut me off again. What was up with that? "No." I stared. "No?" "Yes, you idiot, no." I clenched my teeth… Blitz… Blitz I thought. And I smiled, which made him more angry. "Well at least take the jam," I said happily. Pushing the jam to him. He shoved it back. "I meant no, now get off my property!" he almost screamed. I sighed, but grinned up at him. "I swear, I'm going to get to you one day." He scoffed. "No, now get out." I walked out around his house, and sat at his doorstep. It wobbled open. My mouth turned up into a crooked smile.
--Ninja—
I crept into his house, and shut the door behind me. I looked around, and his house was nice. He had a huge TV in the middle of his house, with a sofa in front, and a bookcase on one side. On the opposite wall, was a huge kitchen set, with every cooking tool imaginable. Next to it was a matching fridge. I nodded to myself, and stuffed the jam neatly inside near all the others. I noticed there was one thing inside the fridge that took up a lot of the space. He must like jam… I guess that's what I'll get him from now on. I smiled, feeling like I'd done a good deed. I skipped happily to the door, eyes shut. But right where the opening should have been, I crashed into something…
--Trouble—
"Get… Off… Me…. NOW." He said firmly. I took a long step back almost running into his sofa. "I… um… well… I wanted-," "Shut up. You idiot, why can't you just leave me alone. I'm going to save the goddess. It's humans that got her that way!" I stared at him, and decided I was in quite a bit of trouble now. "Um, well enjoy your jam… I'll see you tomorrow!" I said happily. Ending on a happy note was definitely the best way to go. Or not. His face turned light red. "Tomorrow!?" he asked, astounded. "Yes, I told you I'm not giving up." I said happily and skipped away. "Enjoy your jam, Jamie!" I called over my shoulder.
--Crops 101—
Once I got to my house I had no idea what to do, Nina and Liz, owners of the flower shop, had given me 2 packs of turnip seeds, and I had no idea what to do. So, I just started using my hoe everywhere on my property. I was getting frustrated. "Stupid hoe… Why can't seeds just plant themselves." I grumbled for a few minutes, not even knowing what I was talking about. "Please, don't take it out on the ground," said Blue. "Oh, hiya Blue!" I said, cheerfully, scratching the back of my head, embarrassed. "You should do that in a different formation, so you get the most of your seeds… Watch." He showed me, and I caught on after a while, but I was getting very tired. "Thanks Blue, you're a big help!" He smiled, and nodded, then waved and went back to his farm.
