I'm sort of time-jumping here. This chapter would take place after the Witch Princess probably could resist killing Kasey...so it would definitely be after the previous chapter, but not immediately...if that makes sense. Hope you enjoy this and thanks for reading!


Kasey peered curiously over Vivi's shoulder. "What're you reading?"

"Etymology. Shush."

"Uh…"

Vivi gritted her teeth but answered anyways, "It's the study of names, doofus."

His eyebrows furrowed inquisitively. "Why would you read that?"

"Because names are important," she replied curtly. "It's like a title—they give a person an identity…meaning."

"So what does my name mean?"

Vivi sighed, impatiently flipping the pages. "Kasey means 'brave' in Irish."

"Kasey the Brave. I like that."

She snorted.

"I wish I knew what your name was," Kasey said pointedly.

Though Vivi didn't reply, she already knew the answer. Her name meant "Life".


Disclaimer: Don't own Harvest Moon, etc, etc. Also, I got the information about the names from ask dot com, but I'm pretty sure that Vivi IS Latin for life, which is pretty cool coincidence for this chapter! Oh, and in case anyone is interested, Kasey also means 'vigilant' or 'watchful' in America.

Lastly, I know that Vivi's beliefs on names kinda differs with the Introduction chapter, but oh well...this was just such a perfect coincidence hat I couldn't resist!
