Make that the third chapter for today...

Disclaimer: Nope, I don't see any papers saying that I own Harvest Moon or its awesome characters.


It began with a piece of fruit.

Vivi was searching through the woods for herbal ingredients when someone yelled, "DUCK!"

Before she could respond, something hit her forehead and Vivi stumbled. Beside her, an apple rolled to the ground.

Footsteps approached and a pair of worried eyes filled her vision.

He was silenced when the apple lifted from the dirt and fell into Vivi's outstretched hand. Kasey's eyes widened when Vivi whispered menacingly, "Run."

The fruit soared through the air, aiming straight at Kasey.
