Ok, so here's the next chapter. Not much happens, but it leads to other things in upcoming chapters. Hope you enjoy.

Peter's POV

I was so excited. It's really not that hard to guess why. I had a date with a pretty girl! Yeah!

In fact, I was so excited that I got all my work done before 11:00. Not that I had much to do. I had no animals yet, and I wasn't growing nay crops until next season. I fed the local dog, because I was trying to get him to warm up to me, so I could adopt him. I always wanted a dog.

After I met Gwen, I didn't feel like meeting anyone else so I called it a day and went home. Plus, talking with Aurelia always tires me out.

With four hours to spare, I started walking toward the plaza, knowing I wanted to go to the carpenters. I wanted to see if I could work for some lumber to fix up my house. The first person I saw was a young guy, younger than me, chopping wood in front of the building. Behind him was an older guy, probably about my age.

"Hey!" I called to them, waving. They both turned around.

The younger one smiled almost at once and ran down the slope to meet me. The other followed behind slowly.

"Hey, I'm Joe! You're Peter right?" The younger guy asked.

"Uh…ya, how did you know?"

"Kurt here, my brother, knows you. Said you used to play together as kids."

I looked at the quiet guy next to him and recognized him immediately. He gave me a half smile and extended his hand.

"Hey. I'm Kurt. Remember me?"

I shook his hand. "Hell ya! Dude, I haven't seen you in forever!" Kurt was one of my best friends here as a child, apart from Bob. He was always the quiet one, never doing anything risky or getting into trouble. He was the good kid of the group. I had always thought he'd move outta this town the first chance he got, but I guess I was wrong.

"So what're you still doing here? I thought you wanted to be a city man!"

"Nah," replied Kurt, "Did once, but I found a great payin' job here at Woody's. Plus my brother here is a baby and would cry if I left."

"Would not!" Joe said sarcastically and pretended to cry. I laughed. He was funny as a baby too. I remember going to Kurt's house and playing tricks on Joe all the time.

"So anyway," Kurt continued, "I'm sorry about your grandfather, man. Sucks. I hear you're taking over his farm."

"Ya, well, for now. Not really something I wanted to do, but…" I created an awkward silence.

"Anyway, I had a question to ask. Think I could cut down some lumber in the forest maybe soon? I need to fix up the house."

Kurt answered, "Ya, sure Peter, no problem. Come over anytime. Forest's always open to you."

"Thanks guys, see ya 'round." I turned to leave. I would go cut down trees some other town. I didn't want to get sweaty before my date.

I went home and took a shower. I shaved and put on some of m best cologne. Then I set off for Bob's.

Gwen had beaten me there, and was already fixing up her horse. "Hey beautiful!" I called.

She looked up at me with those pretty violet eyes. "Hey Peter. Bob said you could ride Nessie." She pointed to the pretty white horse beside hers. I saddled her up, remembering how from my experiences with grandpa. And then we were off. Bob said we could take them anywhere in Leaf Valley, but not outside the town.

I suggested we take a ride by the Goddess Spring and head down to Pike Mountain. It was the perfect place for talking and very romantic.

As we rode, she told me about her life, and how she moved to Leaf Valley two years ago. In turn, I told her I was willingly taking over my grandfather's farm. I bit of a white lie, but hey, I would stay here my whole life if she stayed here.

As we approached Pike Mountain, we heard music. Ocarina music. I know, because it has a very unique sound. My grandpa used to play it all the time, and had even taught me at one point. I wasn't sure I remembered how anymore.

We rode on, eager to find the music maker. I only had to peek around the corner to know. There was no hiding that pink hair.

Aurelia's POV

I had played the ocarina since I was a child. One of the nuns at the Abbey had taught me. And even though I really didn't care for that place, there was something about the music that I couldn't give up. I loved it.

As I played my favourite tune, one I wrote myself, I heard footsteps behind me. Rather, I heard hoof steps. I turned to see two people on horses round the corner. One was Gwen, a young woman I had seen around, and the other was…well…I regret to say it was Peter, for the second time that day. I turned back around and started playing my ocarina, ignoring both of them as they walked past.

"Oh Hey! You're Angie, right?" Gwen called to me.

"Uh, no, I'm Aurelia. Nice to meet you."

"You too. So, do you think you could move?" Gwen asked in a fake polite way.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Peter and I wanted to chat here, and you're here, so we can't chat."

"Well, go somewhere else!" I replied a little rudely. "I was here first!"

"C'mon, Aurelia, please?" Peter asked. I guess I had taught him some manners.

"You've no right to come here and kick me out. This is not your property."

"I asked nicely!"

"No." I wasn't giving in.

"Fine then," he said. "She won't bother us Gwen, let's go sit over here." They parked their horses and put a blanket down on the ground. They only lasted for a minute before they began making out right in front of me. I turned my back.

I was finally so disgusted by the noises they were making that I just left. I couldn't take people making out in public.

I headed back to Mallard Lake, and continued to play my music over the water. Chester came out and joined in with his flute in harmony. We played for a good hour, not really thinking about anything, and then we decided to turn in for supper.

I cooked steak and mashed potatoes and left Ches to eat alone in my bedroom. It was when I was just turning out the light to go to sleep when I realized I forgot my sweater at Pike Mountain. Whatever... I'd get it tomorrow.

I went to sleep and dreamed that I became an assassin and shot Peter while he was sleeping.

Next one to come soon. Sorry this chapter was a little boring.
