Chapter 2: Bluebell

I woke to the annoying call of the birds and the repeated knocks on my door.

"I'm coming…" I grumbled as I dragged myself over to the door. Nori and Ina were standing on the other side of the door, each smiling brightly.

"Good morning Lillian!" Nori exclaimed, "I made a few outfits for you and after that I'm going to take you over to Bluebell and introduce you to all the villagers over there!"

"NO. Wanna sleep." I mumbled.

"C'mon Lillian," Nori laughed, "It's already 10 AM."

My eyes widened. "WHAT. Crap." I grabbed the clothes Nori was holding out, "I'm gonna go get changed."

I closed the door. Then it hit me. My wrists were exposed. I groaned, "I hope they didn't notice it."

Sorting through the clothes Nori made, I found a loose black and white t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and fingerless gloves that went halfway up my forearm. I hopped towards the door as I pulled on my boots.

"I'm ready!" I exclaimed, "Let's go!"

*(~)*

The trip over the mountain took an hour, by cart anyway. I had to convince Nori and Ina that it was just a welcoming present from me. Yep, a different present for each person. They were so gullible. So trusting.

So annoying.

We went to the Town Hall first. Everyone was shouting greetings to Nori. Huh, looks she comes here a lot.

Rutger looks a lot older. I didn't know what I should've expected. He still has the same profile. Still happy and healthy as ever.

I grabbed two of the presents in the cart and ran into the town hall before Nori could get off of it. I burst into the hall and two surprised faces turned towards me.

And then my face breaks into a grin. I run up and hug both of them as tightly as I can, laughing my head off. "Um…" Rutger squirms a little, "Do I know you?"

I release them from my hug and look them both in the eyes. Rutger and Rose. "Yes, Rutger, yes you do."

Rutger looks me up and down. "No…I actually don't."

Rose gasps suddenly, "…Lillian? LILLIAN!" Rose squeezes me tightly and says things that aren't comprehendible between her sobs.

"Lillian?" Rutger asked, dumfounded, "Is that really you?"

"Yeah. It's really me."

*(~)*

I got to see everyone but 3 people. Cam was out and Ash had to go deliver some things. They'd both be back tomorrow.

And Phillip…I was heading over with Nori to see him now.
