A/N: HEEEEEEEEEEY! I'M HERE WITH ANOTHER CHAPPIE! AND IT'S MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS! Actually, more than two thousand...YAY! :D
Gill, Vivi and Maya: HOWDAREYOUSTEALMYCOOKIE DON'T OWN ANY HARVEST MOON AT ALL!
The only noise was Selena, who was screaming about Mitchel catching her. Exlo and I just stared at each other's eyes, well, his bangs for me. Anyways, I knew Ash was voted, 'Most likely to kill someone who ditched her' in her high school yearbook. I look at it from time to time.
Exlo just stood there with a blank face. "Hey, uh, Exlo, do you and Mitchel wanna help me save Ash from Gill…?" I asked as if it were a normal situation. He nodded and waved at Mitchel, who hurriedly ran out the doors of the bar. "Hey, get back here! Come over her, you little midget!" Selena yelled, chasing after Mitchel. We heard a few ells outside before there was a loud splash. Exlo and I exchanged looks-I think- and ran outside.
Mitchel was in the water under the bridge and Selena was freaking out while she looked at him. Exlo found his way to the stairs and ran down them to help Mitchel up. Selena kept saying a string of apologies. I'm guessing she accidentally pushed him in there. Mitchel was soaking wet and shivering as Exlo led him up. "Hey, Selena, can you, you know, watch him for me until Kat and I get back?" Exlo asked. Mitchel looked at him, his face trying to turn into a scowl.
"I-I can take care of m-myself!" he protested as Exlo led him over to Selena. "I'll let you take care of yourself; you're just going to hang around the inn for a bit. And I'm sorry." Selena told him, leading him inside, leaving Exlo and I outside alone. "So…LET'S GO!" I screamed, fist pumping. He looked a bit startled, but quickly went back to normal when I ran away towards Flute Fields.
I heard him shouting behind me and I let out a giggle, but it was cut off when I tripped. Just my luck, too, since I was on concrete. My head slammed against the stone, face first. I felt myself slowly drifting away, everything around me getting darker. The last thing I noticed was Exlo running up to me.
"Bonjour, renoncules, où deux allez-vous?" Ash's mom's tone rang throughout the room. I laughed, "Je ne suis pas une renoncule!" Ash looked between us. "You guys need to stop speaking French all the time." She said, rolling her eyes when we both laughed. "Mais c'est amusant, chérie!" her mom responded and I agreed by shaking my head. Ash sighed and grabbed the dolls we were coming to get in the first place. "Whatever. We're going to play dolls, not go anywhere. Come on, Kat!" I nodded and waved to Mrs. Haus.
I was dreaming, I knew it. But the thing was, was that I was here. I'm watching my younger self, chat with Ash's mom, speaking French. Mrs. Haus waved back to younger me and Ash as we ran up the stairs. I followed myself and Ash.
Ash grabbed a brown haired doll that looked like a Barbie and put her in a dress and I grabbed a regular one and put a t-shirt on it with some funky looking pants. Neither Barbie's had shoes, but we were both happy.
"Nom de la mine est Arianne! Ce que vous appellerai votre du?" I asked Ash.
I kept wondering why I was speaking French. Did I originally speak French and Ash eventually teach me English? Or did I know how to speak both and forget about French?
The doorbell rang and Ash and I ran down stairs, me following. Mrs. Haus spoke with a man with shaggy strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes like mine.
"Ich bin hier für meine Tochter. Ihr Name ist Katrina, ist sie hier?" he spoke in German.
I did a double take when smaller me sent a glare at the man, but stepped towards him. What? My real name was Katrina? No! That's a weird name! And that was my dad, huh? Wait, wait, wait! How did I know what he said in German? What?
"Ja, ich bin hier, Vater. Was willst du?" smaller me spat. My 'dad' gave smaller me a stern look before returning his attention to . " Tut mir leid, aber ihr Englisch-Unterricht sind nicht über." She told him. My father looked at me then back at Mrs. Haus. "Fine. I will allow her to stay for another day." He spoke, finally in English. Mrs. Haus mouthed a thank you and waved bye to my dad.
I felt my eyes open and look around. Exlo was sitting next to me and I was still on the cement. "WHAT THE HELL! DUDE, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST BROUGHT ME TO THE CLINIC!" I screamed at him, jumping up. His head turned upwards, so I was guessing he was looking at me. "So?" he simply said.
Calm down, Kitty Kat.
Not you again. I thought you left.
Meanie.
Whatever.
You're supposed to say sorry because I am. Anyways, don't explode at him. Look, he seems sad or something.
My conscience was right. He did seem somewhat depressed. "Uh, you know what, I'm sorry, let's just get going." I suggested, turning around. I heard him get up and we began walking to Flute Fields.
Selena and Mitchel walked inside the bar and took a seat. The seventeen year old stayed in a stool and shivered. "Hey, do you want a towel or blanket? You look cold." Selena asked him. His light blue eyes moved from the floor and met her violet ones. He lost his thoughts staring into them. The deep violet was like a vortex and it sucked him in. Her eye shadow just complemented it and made him more lost.
Selena snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Hey, squirt, did you hear me?" she asked, her eyes narrowing, losing some of the beauty that he saw. "Uh, yeah, sure, I'll take a towel. And…y-you know, that maybe you shouldn't narrow your eyes," Selena looked over at him, a questioning face that caused Mitchel to blush and look down. "B-because you look prettier w-without them narrowed…"
A light shade of pink crossed Selena's features, yet she rose up her nose. "Stop acting like Luke or a drunken Owen. None of those cheesy lines work on me." She told him as she grabbed a towel and brought it to him. Mitchel looked back up at her and took the towel. "W-who's Luke and Owen?" he asked. Selena blushed, "W-well, Luke is the carpenter's son. He's really nice, but oblivious and really funny and…and a complete spaz. He has this crazy blue hair that sticks in almost every direction and cat like yellow eyes. He also has this bandana his mom gave to him, it's pretty cool looking. And Owen is Kathy's boyfriend. He comes here often and gets drunk all the time. He has spikey red hair and I think he has gray eyes. I'm not sure." She explained.
Mitchel noticed that she blushed around Luke's parts. 'She must like him…' he thought.
"So, anyways, squirt, tell me about yourself. Like, what's your name, how old are you, and more! You get it, right?" Selena asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Well, my name is Mitchel, I think we t-told you. And m-my birthday is Summer 25…I'm also seventeen…" he mumbled. Selena did a double take. He was seven freaking teen? She thought he was at least thirteen or fourteen!
"Wow, I thought you were younger! Are you lying to me?" she said, "Anyways, I'm Selena and I'm twenty. Not telling you my birthday until we become closer friends, got it?"
Mitchel smiled at her, but it wasn't one of the big ones he used to show every day, it was now a small, sweet one.
"Got it."
"LET ME DOWN FROM HERE THIS INSTANT, GILL!" Ash screamed at the young man that seemed somewhat…disturbed currently. Gill wasn't himself. Ash mainly knew this because he tied her upside down on a tree over a fire and he was dancing in circle around her.
"You are crazy, you know that? When Kat comes back with help, I'm going to get you arrested, man. You are totally nuts, loco, crazy, a loony!" She told him.
A rustle in the bushes nearby made her stop talking and Gil stop dancing. Gill slowly walked towards the bush and fell back when Luke jumped out. "TAAA DAAAAAA!" he shouted, "Gillward, stop hurting and being mean to this farmer lady!"
Gill got up and rubbed his head. "W-what?" he mumbled before looking at Ash, who was still up in the tree, but she was shooting daggers at Gill. "Duuude…you must've been, like, possessed or something to tie her up like that…" Luke told him. Gill looked at Luke like he was crazy. "I did not do this! Are you mental? Why would I do this?" Gill almost yelled at Luke.
"Dude, something's wrong with your mind," Ash yelled at Gill, "YOU tied me up here and you tried to freaking stab Kat with an axe! She ran away screaming! I guarantee you that she's probably NEVER talking to you again. She's really awkward that!"
Gill's face came to one of realization. He remembered a bit clearly of what happened and looked down in shame. His feet seemed to attract the most attention to him at the moment. Luke walked over to Gill and patted his back, "Dude, since this is a first and I, like, you know, used that wizard guy's controlling powers to get you to do this, it's fine!"
Gill and Ash's gaze snapped to Luke.
"You did WHAT?" they both yelled at the blunette. Luke's eyes widened and he backed away, holding up his hands.
"Uh, well, let me explain! That fortune guy gave me some dust because I saw him do some weird stuff and it came outta his hands! He said if I promised not to tell anyone, then he would give me that EPIC dust, so I HAD to agree! THE DUST CONTROLS PEOPLE! I-I don't know why I chose to do it on you, Gill! IT WAS SOOOOOO TEMPTING!" he screamed.
Gill just stood there with a face that said I'm-no-where-close-to-believing-you and his arms crossed. Ash just stared, a bit confused.
"Whatever, just…get her down. I have files to get done." Gill mumbled, turning around and leaving the forest. After Gill was gone, Luke and Ash just…were quiet.
"Sooo…." They would mumble at the same time, then blush and look away and after about ten seconds, the process would happen again. Luke finally got over it and climbed up the tree Ash was hanging from and helped her down. They both left the forest, neither saying a word.
After getting to the bridge by the waterwheel, Luke spoke up, "So, Ash…Sorry about the dust thing…It was really tempting!" Ash laughed and ran ahead of him, twirling once or twice before looking over the side and at the water. "You know, I'm…fine with it! Normally, I would never believe anyone if they told me some kind of a fortune teller slash magic user gave a person some kind of, uh, controlling dust! But…something's telling me to believe you!" she explained to the carpenter. He smiled, noticing how she grinned. He's seen her grin, but it was more of an embarrassed looking one because of Kat, but this one seemed like a real one.
Maybe it was because of how her hair fell over her shoulders, and that bow she had in her hair, controlled his next actions. His hands shot from his sides and pulled her into one of his famous bear hugs. Nothing could tell him, or her, why he did that. "Luisgfjj…." He heard her mumble from being stuffed into his shirt.
Luke immediately pulled away and began having a panic attack. "OH MY GODDESS! ASH, I'M SO SORRY! CAN YOU BREATH? ARE YOU ALIVE?" he screamed, grabbing her face and squishing her cheeks.
"L-Luke! Knock it off!" she cried, pushing his hands away, "I'm fine! I have a personal bubble here, dude, try not to pop it!"
I laughed as I watched Ash whack away Luke's hands. Exlo and I were in a bush, watching them. I'm a stalker, I know. OH, WELL. I grabbed the binoculars from Exlo and he whispered, "THAT'S your friend, Ash? She looks like someone I used to kn- no, my sister used to know! And she is h-" he started, but I cut him off just as Gill walked by. Perfect.
I made the quiet sign to Exlo and slowly got out of the bush and began to follow Gill.
Of course, Gill turned around and I literally jumped into the river, well onto the ledge and hung on. I thought I was going to land in a bush, not be hanging on a ledge!
A sound of footsteps made their way to my ears. "You're an idiot. Come on, get up." Gill's voice echoed through my head and his hand reached out toward me. Graciously, I grabbed it and pulled myself up. "Thanks…nerd." I slyly smiled at the end of the sentence.
"You're really going to keep that up? Fine, but I'm changing yours. Hm…I know! How about female Luke! Or female ape, seeing as how they're both exactly the same…" he muttered, raisng an eyebrow. I gasped as if he offended me. "Why, I thought I was more to you then a dirty man-boy-monkey thing!" He smirked and continued with the act, "Well, dear, I thought you were scared of monkeys." He got me there. I was absolutely scared of monkeys.
"Wait! How do you know that?" I asked, ruining the act. "Your town profile. It has everything but your family and allergies filled out. Care to finish it?" he asked, pulling a paper out from a folder he was holding. I took and inspected it before looking up at him a whining, "Can I just tell you and you write it?"
As our conversation continued, I forgot that Exlo was still not very far away. He was just…standing there, like he was really deep in thought. Finally, his head snapped a it up word and he pushed his bangs back, showing blue eyes exactly like Mitchel's.
"That's it!" he shouted, "Kat! You're my sister!"
