"Well that didn't work out as planned.." I muttered as both Neil and I walked out of Dunhill's house.

"No kidding." Neil scoffed, sending a glare at me, like I had done something wrong! ME! The almighty Rio, had done something utterly wrong! Sigh..I suppose I should speak of the events leading up to this dreadful moment huh?

Well, after I ran out the door to check on my farm animals and plants (then ran back inside to get changed once Neil reminded me that I was still in my jammies) because somehow it had turned into 9 o'clock a.m! I mean seriously, did Neil and I talk for that long? It only felt like a couple of minutes! Ugh I swear the time in this village is strange. One second is probably one minute here...

Well if that was the case then a whole day would be 24 minutes!

Good Goddess! This cannot be true!

Of course not, I'm only exaggerating.

Okay okay, back on topic. So anyways, after Neil checked on my cow while I did everything else (Neil tried to convince me that my cow was pregnant but I didn't fall for it!)

Flashback~

"She's either pregnant.." Neil started, looking at Jaune right in the face, his eyes showed no sign of anger or shock.

"PREGNANT? HOW IN THE WORLD COULD THAT HAPPEN?" I screamed, and started pacing back and forth. Sure this was wonderful news and all but can I really afford this financially? I mean Jaune provides the best milk and if I can't milk her then that'll definitely cut me back a bit on my funds, and having to care for the new baby. Not to mention the food too.

"OR she's just slightly allergic to something." Neil interrupted my train of thoughts while rolling his eyes at me.

"So..which is it?" I asked, concerned.

"Considering there are no male cows here, she's allergic to something you idiot."

"..."

Back to the present~

Did you just see a flashback? No! I don't allow it! Don't believe anything you saw there. It wasn't true!

Okay, so now that I've brai-I mean convinced you what the truth was, one with the story shall we? Where was I? Oh yeah, after I finished my farm work, I had decided to go have a serious talking with Dunhill about this whole 'Farmer's Olympics' course Neil didn't want to come with but I didn't want to do it alone! So, I ended up giving him my best puppy eyes. However, considering it was first thing in the morning and I still looked like a wreck, I'm quite certain I looked like a demented mole. And judging by what Neil said ( "Fine, as long as you don't make that creepy face again") I can assume that I am right.

So when Neil and I got to Dunhill's place, I pleaded, begged, got on my knees and kissed his shoes (All while Neil just sighed in the corner), so that I would not have to do the Olympics thingy. It did not work.

At all.

I don't even remember how it happened, I must've used the 'I've already done so much for this town' card one too many times because Dunhill started to get frustrated. So, even after all that work.

This...this happened.

"I can't believe he made me your f***ing trainer!" Neil yelled angrily as he threw his hands in the air. He-We got some unwanted looks by random people, that I didn't recognize. Must be tourists...well I suppose that's good for the town. I wonder why so many of them though.

"Well, at least I'm not out of shape?" I suggested, hoping to cheer him up a little bit. Obviously it did not work because he just sent me an angry glare.

"Your training starts tomorrow at ten o'clock." Neil snapped before walking off "Be at my place by then, and don't you dare be late."

Pfft, like I'm ever late.

"Mwa ha ha ha ha..." I laughed evily to myself as I wrote on a piece of paper while sitting in Clements restaurant. I know I said I don't normally eat lunch, but like I said before too, I have decided to have today off. No foraging, no mining, no fishing. Just laughing maniacally while writing on this piece of paper.

"So..whatcha writing?" A friendly voice asked, peering over my shoulder. I didn't look behind me because I knew the voice, and besides, I was too busy on my writing.

"A hit list." I said honestly. I couldn't see the face that Tina had on, but I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume she got a weird face on.

"..Am I on it?" She asked, a bit nervous. I nodded, an evil grin finding it's way onto my face "Everybody's in it."

"Even the children?"

"Especially the children."

"You know what? I've got some errands to run, see yeah Rio." Tina said nervously as she started to back walk slowly away from me. Normally, I would be embarrassed for having someone get scared of me like that, but I'm pretty pissed at everyone. Hence the hit list.

Of course, Tina didn't actually have errands, but it would've been nice if he ran out the door instead of to the table behind me. It would've been a better lie at least.

"Did you tell her?" one of the voices asked behind me, I recognized it too, Felicity. I've recognized all of their voices. Just because I don't TALK to them, doesn't mean I don't eaves drop.

Hey! Don't judge me! I'm a girl too! I like gossip!

Like for instance, I know Tina has been flirting with Rod lately but he doesn't return her flirts. However, it doesn't seem like he knows she's flirting. I doubt Rob even likes her though, if you ask me, I'd say he's got his eyes on Iroha.

It's the perfect love story too! I mean, the cheerful, friendly type of guy and Iroha, the quiet one, always lost in her thoughts, and she's very dense when it comes to love. So romantic..

Uh...okay so I know I ACT like a guy..but on the inside I'm a girl.

Especially when it comes to love.

I don't really understand why some people think I'm a tomboy, I do like a bunch of girly things! Like I've said before: gossip, romance, and caring for my hair. I'm just fine with getting my fingers a little muddy.

Actually I enjoy it.

But believe me when I tell you this; I am not a sports person.

So there, that's the truth about me.

"No..she got kind of...crazy." Tina answered, a little bit nervous, most likely glancing at me. Okay..maybe I shouldn't have said that last part but it wasn't like I was going to lie! I shifted uncomfortably, feeling the gazes of those people on me.

"Well we've got to ask her!" Someone else jumped it, Rod. I started to feel a bit nervous about what these people wanted to ask me. Last time someone wanted to tell me something, I was stuck in this Olympics thing. At least it sounds like they're going to ask me.

But when it comes to the villagers of this town, it's not usually asking, more demanding.

As you can see.

"Do I have to? I doubt she'll wanna come anyways, it's not like she actually talks to us." Tina argued, not angrily at me, just more like she was stating a fact. It still kind of stung though. These are people I considered...people that I like.

And I do enjoy talking to them when we do talk, and listening to their conversations as I had spoken before.

Whatever, it's my own fault for not talking to them that much.

"That's not fair, she's just shy." Someone argued, hm I think that would be Rod again. He didn't sound angry, but like what Tina had done before. Just stating a fact.

"Fine, I'll do it then." Tina sighed in defeat and I could hear her footsteps coming closer to me. It as kind of funny how they always thought that I couldn't hear them at all.

As if my hearing doesn't work.

Or just because I don't talk much, means I don't listen either.

Normally it's the other way around too.

People in this village are strange, I'll say that.

But at least they're kind, most of the time. Back in the city most people are jerks. Hm how can I explain it..let's say here I dropped something beside someone. That person would most likely pick it up for me. Now, if I dropped it back in the city, they would probably take it for themselves, or use it to hit on me. To be honest it's just a giant pain there. And we can't forget all the light pollution so you can't see the stars, or the honking from cabs so you can't sleep.

At least here you can actually walk around without being worried of being mugged...or worst.

"Hey Rio, before I do my errands," Tina started, peering over my shoulder. Well, at least she's trying to live up to her fake lies. "Why don't you come with us to the beach next weekend?"

"The beach? Won't the water be too cold for you? And does Echo village even have a beach?" I questioned, considering this to be a trap. Not that I didn't trust her, it's just...well even people you trust can lay pranks out on you. It's strange though, I don't know her that well, but I would still trust her.

Maybe not with my life, but with other things.

All the villagers are like that.

"Where we're going, everything will be perfect." Tina said sending me a wink before striding over to the other villagers. So much for errands. And so much for this day getting better.
