Please don't insult me too much. The first one I wrote was right before I had to do my chores so unless I wanted to be grounded until I'm 30 I had to speed up leaving a bad plot,errors,and rushed chapters. I'm so sorry! So I'll try a lot harder okay? You have the right to insult me but I'd appreciate it if you don't. All it does is hurt someone's feelings.(sniff) And there might be spelling errors but I'll try to keep that on low.I'm not perfect and neither is this story.I didn't make you read like how I wasn't forced to write this.I won't be mad at mean comments but I will be hurt. Wouldn't you? Sorry for this rant. All I want to do is get on with the story. So please enjoy. I don't own Harvest Moon in any way.

I was looking through my mail when I found a letter sent by my cousin from Forget-Me-Not Valley.

Dear Chelsea,

Great news! I just got married! He's a really nice guy and he would like to meet you. Please consider taking a vacation from the ranch. How about Winter? You're not as busy in that season. I can't wait to see you again! Yours Truly,

Jill

Wow. I can't believe that little Jill got married. I remembered when she used to always go to the sandbox to plow pretend fields with a stick at the playground.

Or the time when we both baked a chocolate cake and won second place at the cooking festival.

Then I remembered her dad's funeral I cried almost as much as her that day. We have a lot of memories together.

Well that makes me the only one in my family that's single. Great.

I decided to visit Mirabelle's shop to tell Juia about my cousin's wedding. She was one of my friends after all. I heard Mirabelle was on business so Julia was managing the sales as well. As I entered I heard a usual cheery voice greet me.

'Hi Chelsea! Do you need anything? Or did you want to tell me something?'

I want to tell you something. My cousin got married today, And she wants me to visit her and her husband in Winter. There's one tiny problem though. My ranch will be unattended for about a week. Who's going to take care of my animals while I'm gone?

Hey Julia. My closest and most loyal best friend.

'I don't know if I can Ms. Kiss up. I might be busy that season or my mom might go on business again. But I'll think about it okay?'

Well Julia's out of the question.

'Hey Chels do you want some lunch? I've been wanting to try out this new recipe and your perfect for a taste tester.'

Sorry Julia but the last time I was your taste tester I got food poisoning for a week. I said said half joking half scared.

We talked some more and said our goodbyes as I exited the animal shop I saw Charlie and Eliza running towards me happily.

'Miss Chelsea! The grumpy cowboy is here again!'

'Isn't it romantic? It's like your prince arriving to see you again.'

'Yeah to bad he's a grumpy head!'

'Miss Chelsea go to the beach already! Don't listen to Charlie here.'

'What did I say? Eliza's the one being mushy.'

Well thanks for telling me. I'll go to the beach right now. They were cute kids. I chuckled to myself when I saw them having a little argument.

'Good luck Miss Chelsea! We'll be waiting for you!'

As I walked to the beach I saw Vaughn on the horizon. It looked like he was hearding two horses, one white and one black. Unlike him, they looked happy. I never know what's going through that man's head.

I swear someone is going to mistake him for a manniquen one day.

As Vaughn got off the ship I seemed to be the last thing he noticed. Well, he was like that all the time so I finally got used to it.

Hi Vaughn. Glad you had a safe trip. Where did you get the horses? Hey is that a new hat?

'...thanks Mineral Town and no.

He said giving me a passing glance.

Wait! Don't you want to talk a little bit more?

'No,not really Chelsea. Can I go now? I need to work'.

Hey Vaughn aren't you missing a horse? I said as I saw that only the white horse was next to him.

Chelsea! behind you!

The next thing I knew I felt a hit on the head and a thud. Everything went black after that.

I began to come to. The back of my head was pounding. Not only that the beach sand didn't feel like sand. It felt warm and comforting. I wanted this moment to last forever. When I opened my eyes I saw an unconscious Vaughn.

Oh my god! I must have hit Vaughn when I fell and knocked him out! Not only that I was on top of him! This is so embarassing!

I quickly took out my watering can and dumped all the water on Vaughn to wake him up.

'H-Hey that's cold! Cut it out!'

Good, Vaughn woke up.

'Chelsea what happened? Why does my head hurt so bad?'

I wanted to explain as quickly as I can so I calmly and nicely said:

THE BLACK HORSE KNOCKED ME OUT AND I KNOCKED YOU OUT COLD WHEN I FELL AND I WAS ON YOU WHEN I WOKE UP AND I'M SORRY IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

I ran to my house as fast as possible. I didn't want to see Vaughn ever again.

He probably hates me now anyway.

'Miss Chelsea what's wrong? Why are you crying?'

It was Eliza.

Eliza it's nothing. Nothing happened.

I said trying to force a smile so I wouldn't make Eliza worry.

But if Vaughn comes by don't tell him where I went.

'Okay Miss Chelsea.'

I ran inside my house and locked the door.

I buried my face in my pillow. Wishing I could go back in time.

Hours passed and I was still locked in my house.

I began thinking of the feeling I had when I was close to Vaughn.

A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door.

GO AWAY!

'Chelsea it's me, Vaughn.'

I don't care! Go away!

'Chelsea I need to talk to you.'

I had no other choice but to get it over with.

I opened the door to see Vaughn. His amythest eyes sparkled in the light.

Why didn't I notice that before?

Vaughn I'm sorry okay? I understand if you never want to see me again.

'Chelsea it's not that. I'm not mad at you. I should be the one to apologize.

'I let the black horse out of my sight and it hurt you.

' I'm...sorry.'

He was apologizing to me?

Vaughn...I-I like you a lot.

And I guess the moment took over me because I gave Vaughn a peck on the cheek and closed the door.

I looked through my window to see a blushing Vaughn walking down the path to the town. His hand was on his cheek.

I think I even saw a smile.

Well that's chapter 1 for you. Flames are not appreciated here. It took me 10 hours to make this chapter decent (Editing and stuff).So please don't crush me into tiny pieces. I hope you liked this. Advice and praise is more than welcome. If you want to help without being a jerk then type away! Someone gave me a flame yesterday and half my confidence is already shattered. (not here, someone else) I know I'm ranting again. Sorry. I just hope you enjoyed it. I'm not saying you can't insult me it's just that what good will that do? None. Have a nice day. Critics and all. By the way this chapter was a little rushed because I needed to go somewhere for about a day or two.
