Hey everyone! Ok, so it's been a while since I did this. Anyway, I'm back! This chapter is a prologue of sorts, and it's in Chelsea's first person POV.


So I think coming to these islands would be a great idea. I think I can start a new life for myself, an easy, laid back life. I think that maybe, finally, I can find some quiet place where not a lot happens. Well, yet again, I am sadly mistaken. Craziness seems to follow me where ever I go.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a great place. The air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and everyone here is so very kind (save for Vaughn, who seems inclined to hate everyone he meets). It's just that I happened to choose the only magical islands in existence. Magical islands that contain sprites, witches, and a Goddess. Worst of all, these magical beings seem to have chosen me to raise all the other magical islands with magic stones, seriously. I must sound like I'm insane or something. Not only that, but some stones are magically invisible to me. The villagers can somehow find sun stones that I can't find no matter how hard I look. Do I have the worst luck in history or what? Sometimes I think I'm on some reality show and everyone here is in on it.

Besides being chosen by destiny to raise islands, I must say that life is pretty sweet. Growing vegetables is very rewarding. Raising animals is pretty nice too. There are also an abundance of guys my age... not that I'm the flirtatious type.

Anyway, right now I'm out with my friends Natalie newly befriended Lily who came shortly after I raised that volcano island. Actually Lily is more like an annoying tag along who shows up when my other good friend Denny is absent, but that's beside the point. We're not doing anything important, just hanging out.

"...Sometimes, I just want to clock that brother of mine..." Natalie always seemed to be badmouthing her older brother, Elliot. I don't think he's as inept as she makes him out to be. Poor Elliot, he has to endure living with her. "...Can you believe that? He's so stupid sometimes."

"Oh come on, he's not that bad." I attempted to interject. It's no secret that I try to defend Elliot whenever I can, so much so it's become my second job.

"Seriously Chelsea, have you seen him work? It's hilarious and annoying at the same time. Just the other day..." And she went on.

I drifted in and out of the conversation where necessary. Right now I was focussed on the rather large boat off in the distance. At first I though it was Denny's fishing boat, but now I could see that it was way to big. Perhaps another person had decided to take up residence here?

"By the way guys," Lily said, finally joining the conversation while my attention was diverted, "I came to this island because I am convinced that there are treasures here." As she said this, the boat had docked, I'm sure I could see someone disembarking. Was that person riding a horse? I think so. He seemed to be coming toward us. "I really need to strike it rich..."

I had been watching the newcomer trot slowly toward us. My initial thoughts of him? Well, he had an air of elegance about him. He must be a prince or something. That's it, a prince on a white horse. Maybe he bought the island and wanted all of us commoners out of here. I expect he'll be an arrogant rich boy with a superiority complex. Oh my God, he's headed straight for us!

"Ah, greetings dear maidens." I watched him dismount, he seemed to know what he was doing anyway. "Are you maidens all residents of these islands?"

"Well duh! Do we look like tourists to you?" Natalie replied. I hope she didn't anger the prince and have us all banished to animal island...

He surprised me by smiling. Apparently he's a good natured prince, or perhaps that's his evil grin. "Oh, I've been ever so busy today! How lucky I am to have run into such beautiful maidens upon my arrival."

At that, Natalie scowled. I noticed Lily furrow her brow as if she was doing a very difficult calculus question. He seemed pleased somehow, though I'm not sure why. Already I don't like him. I've seen his kind before, always hitting on any female he sees. I hope he doesn't notice my disdain.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is William Terry Louis Andrew Carrick Jonathan Dredge Hams Reading Roger Southwark Alwick Plymouth Junior Regison III. A pleasure to meet you all."

"Pssh." Natalie replied, rolling her eyes.

"I've decided I like you." Lily responded hardily.

"Er, welcome to the island William Terry Andrew Ham..." I began. I felt myself blush because I couldn't remember his unnecessarily long name.

He chuckled and said directly to me, "is my name too much of a mouthful? Never fear my lady, you may call me Will. I hope you will come and visit me. Anyway, I have much more to do. Farewell maidens! Come Arthur, we must depart."

Then he was off. He climbed atop his horse and headed back to his yacht. I figured I'd have to befriend him if I wanted to get the sun stones he'd magically be able to find. This must be a trick by the harvest Goddess to socialize me with all kinds of different people. Oh well, if I could befriend Natalie, the Witch and Vaughn, I was certain I could befriend him. Although I have no idea what kind of present would be suitable for a rich guy.

"Guys, I think I've hit the jackpot." Lily stated, somewhat elated.

"What do you mean?" Natalie asked.

"I came to these islands to get rich, and I think I know just how I'm going to go about doing it."


Ok, so this is the end of the prologue. It's pretty obvious what's going to happen, but if you like fluff and stuff, well, enjoy.
