Hey everyone! Wow! TWO CHAPTER UPDATES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS?! I'm surprised I got this chapter done faster than I expected! I'm serious, the ideas just flew through my mind and I was able to type up most of this in one night! Woo-hoo! I'm so proud of myself for pushing through to write this! Now this chapter was originally going to be shorter, but I decided to combine the two chapters I was planning because I was so anxious to get it out there for you all to read! I am determined to get things done! I've waited too long to publish a lot of these chapters!

Just saying, reading through some of your responses to the latest chapter made me smile and laugh. Smile because of the excitement for my return and for the start of Gill and Emiko's date. Then of course laugh at the drama that I set in motion with the cliffhanger at the end. I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but I can't help it. It was funny to read some of your reactions to the shock.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this chapter! This is my early birthday present for all of you to enjoy! Had to get it out before the day when I become a quarter of a century! lol (been waiting to say that for awhile!) Please review or message me about what you think of this shocking chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon. I only own my OC's, Ayame and Emiko. Also this story was originally called 'I'm Stuck Between a Hyperactive Prankster and a Pompous Rich Boy, Great', but I had to shorten the title to fit. Sorry (RIP Quizilla- October 1, 2014)

Review Responses: Thank you everyone! I loved seeing reviews for this story again! I'm glad to see some of you giving me some feedback about how the story is going! I love hearing it from you guys! It's a definite confidence boost for me! ^_^

NO- lol your name that you gave had me giggling. Sorry to laugh at the despair, but this was the reaction I was expecting to hear from some of my readers. Glad to be back! That was fun and a little difficult to write because I haven't written Gill in this sort of situation. He's not used to this sort of thing. Ohhh you'll find out soon! ;) There's a lot more drama coming your way soon. Thank you so much sweetie! Took 5 years but I got it!

ShermanTheWorm- Thanks sweetie! Jobs that don't suck actually haha Wow! Oh my gosh I hope you did good on your exam! I feel bad for taking you away from studying! haha but I am glad to hear your reaction to the posting! Emiko is a little mixture of my sister and I. Doesn't take any crap from anyone. haha I'm glad to hear that! Also oh my gosh! XD your reaction to the fight! That's the funniest thing I've read! Awww you keep being amazing too sweetie!

The Manga Otaku- Seriously?! Wow! I'm glad to hear that I have a loyal reader out there who remembers when they started reading this! Awww I'm still a strong Harvest Moon fangirl deep down! Oh the days of freedom! It's the one thing that I love to do! Without writing...I honestly don't know what I would do. Probably go insane (not really but still haha). Awwww you have no idea how much I appreciate hearing that from you! You are amazing!

rocy6789- YOU'RE WELCOME! I'm sorry for making you think that, so many excuses in life, but the important thing is, I'm back! I'm glad you like the twist. Not every relationship is going to be happy all the way though. Things happen...fights happen. It was bound to happen eventually for them. Aww thank you for your kind words, I'm surprised to hear that I inspire people. I'm just doing what I love in life, writing and making people happy. You'll have to wait and see what will happen for them. I love seeing both sides of the Gill and Luke fight. Team Luke and Team Gill. It's honestly fun to see. hahaha wow! I haven't married anyone in the game because I'm debating on who to marry! Both have good points! How's a girl to choose?! haha I appreciate hearing your suggestion! Thank you!

HelenTheReader- Yes! I'm back! And yes...life is busy and it sucks. Thank you! Feels good getting it finally! 5 years of hard work paid off! Aww thanks! Well there's more to come and you'll find out soon! ;)

Guest- Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I understand some of my earlier chapters might be a little...out of order, but I am trying to go back through and edit them so they flow nicer. Again, I appreciate the feedback. And I will keep going! :)

2 Hours Earlier

"Luke! Seriously! I can't see!" I giggled as Luke tugged me through…wherever he was taking me. I couldn't see a thing since he tied his bandanna around my eyes.

"Of course you shouldn't!" he laughed, tugging on my hand. "Just trust me on this one."

Just when he said that, I stumbled a little, crashing into his back.

Luke stopped and put an arm around me. "Sorry about that."

"Yeah right, you're sorry…" I replied sarcastically. "You did that on purpose."

"Oh you're fine." Luke chuckled before pressing his lips to the side of my head. "Just trust me."

"I'm trying to, and yet you almost made me fall."

"You still look beautiful to me."

This made me smack his arm. "Oh shut up. You're just sucking up."

"Awww…I'm just showering my girlfriend with compliments."

Sometimes, I wondered why I dated him. Luke was obnoxious at times and a tad immature. However, he was sweet, hilarious, and he really cared about me. What would I do without his humor in my life?

"How much further?" I whined, feeling annoyed by this.

"Almost there."

As we continued walking, I could hear the roaring of something. Like water. Water falling down heavily. Were we at the waterfall?

Luke stopped walking and pulled his bandanna away from my eyes. "Ta-da!"

My eyes squinted as they were exposed to bright light again. Once they adjusted, I could see Caramel Falls before me. Except since it was nighttime, there were a few fireflies buzzing around, glittering their green lights around.

My mouth dropped in awe. "Luke…"

"What do you think?"

"It's…beautiful." I whispered.

He grinned brightly before tying his bandanna over his head. "I'm glad to hear that. This only happens a couple times a summer." He chuckled softly before leading me closer.

I smiled as we stepped closer to the waterfall. The stars above reflected off the water, creating a beautiful twinkle across the water.

He let go of my hand and moved into the tall grass. "Wanna see something cool?"

"You know I love anything cool." I giggled, brushing my hair behind my ear.

Luke climbed up on top of a tall rock and smiled down at me. "Okay, watch this!" he yelled before he jumped off of the rock and landed in the tall grass. Suddenly, dozens of fireflies took flights and rose above the grass. It was like a hundred little green lights going off. It was breathtaking!

"Oh my…."

"Amazing, right?"

A childlike giggle left my lips as I let the little bugs fly near me. I even managed to catch a few in my hands and felt them crawl around my fingers. I haven't done anything like this since I was a kid and my parents would take us out to camp in the woods. There weren't any fireflies in the city.

Luke laughed too as he caught a few of them.

"You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies, lit up the world as I fall asleep." I sang, releasing a few of them into the air.

My boyfriend smiled at me as he joined in with me. "Cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere! You'd think me rude but I would just stop and stare!"

Pretty soon, the both of us belted out the lyrics to Fireflies by Neon Trees while we danced around in the cluster of fireflies. We caught a few and then released them into the evening sky. Then we each took turns, jumping off the rocks and releasing more into the air. It was such a wonderful night.

After we tired out, we lay next to each other in the tall grass, staring up at the night sky. The stars were out by now, covered by a few dark clouds. Perhaps it was going to rain later on.

"Thank you for this, Luke." I sighed, resting my head against his shoulder.

"Anything for my favorite girl." He whispered before kissing my head. "You know I would."

"Yeah, you definitely would. Thank you."

We lay there in silence for awhile, cuddling against each other.

"Sooooo….there's something I want to talk to you about…" Luke started, sounding a bit nervous.

"What is it?" I asked, feeling worried about what he was saying.

"Uh…there's something I have to do in a week and…I wanted to know if you could help me out."

"Sure Luke, I can try to." I replied, still confused over what he wanted. "What is it?"

He paused as he began rubbing my arm. "Uh…next week is a…an anniversary…"

"For what?"

"The day…my mother died…"

My heart dropped. "Really?"

He nodded, frowning slightly as he held my hand in his, playing with my fingers. "Yeah, every year my old man and I visit her grave and pay our respects to her."

"Well…that sounds nice."

"Yeah, it is. I just wanted you to be there and have a chance to talk to her." Luke explained before looking down at me, his amber eyes softly staring into mine.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I know my mom would love to hear from you. She's really awesome."

"Knowing you, I bet she's an amazing woman." I replied with a grin.

"She really is. Still is in heaven." He chuckled. "I bet she's up there, showing off how awesome she is. Mom never let anyone ever tell her otherwise. A real spitfire who never let anything get her down."

"Even the bad times?" I asked, rubbing his chest.

"Yeah, even if things got bad, she never let it bother her." He sighed before turning his head to the sky. "Except that one night…that one stormy night…"

"Luke, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I heard what happened." I urged him, not wanting to see Luke so upset. Watching Gill describe what happened to his mother was upsetting enough. I didn't want to see another person talk about tragedy.

Now that I think of it, there were a lot of things in common between Gill and Luke despite their fight. They both lost their mothers when they were children and it was devastating for both. Gill's mother died of leukemia and Luke's mother died at sea.

Honestly, I'm not sure what I would do if I lost my mom. I already lost one parent in my life. I'd hate to lose another.

"It's just…I wish I would have been able to convince her to stay…if only my parents wouldn't have fought."

I could see his eyes watering a little bit. "Luke…please don't blame yourself." I said as he held his cheeks. "It's not your fault at all. Things just…happen sometimes."

"I wish they didn't…" he replied, his voice cracking a little. "I wish things never changed…"

I shushed him softly, stroking his cheeks. "Shh…don't say that."

"Why not?"

"Because if things were the same…I wouldn't have met you." I tried to convince him. "I would be in the city still and I wouldn't be here right now."

He blinked his tears away. "Well…I guess that's true."

"Yeah, if I wouldn't have met you…then we wouldn't be here right now." I whispered, smiling softly.

A smile appeared on his lips. "Yeah, you're right." He sat up, wiping his eyes a little. "Thanks, Ayame."

I smiled back before he pulled me in for a hug. We hugged for a little bit before he kissed my lips gently. Once he pulled away, Luke stood up.

"May I have this dance, Milady?" he asked, offering his hand.

I took it and stood as well, giggling soflty. "Of course."

For the next bit of time, we slow danced under the stars and among the fireflies that still flew in the air. My head rested against his warm chest, breathing in the scent of fresh cut trees and sawdust. A scent that I had grown used to over the last few weeks.

It was peaceful. The sound of the waterfall mixed with the chirps of crickets that hid in the grass. It was nice, relaxing, and even sweet.

Luke picked the perfect place for a date.

"Sooo…not to interrupt the moment, but how's work been going?" Luke mumbled against the top of my head where he rested his cheek against. "I mean, you're joining the working world like me."

A giggle left my lips. "I actually like it. I get to sort through paperwork all day and I honestly don't get bored by it."

"Seriously? Filing papers? Sounds awfully boring to me."

I chuckled softly. "Well that's mainly because you're a person who likes to do something physical. You like using your hands and muscles."

He laughed as well, hugging me. "Yeah, nobody can chop a tree like I can. But seriously, I don't think I could do that kind of a job."

"It's not so bad when you get used to it." I replied with a shrug. "I like it."

"I don't know how you could like work. I get to make things explode and you just get to stare at paperwork. Sounds really boring." He mocked before adding, "Especially when you work for someone like him."

I rolled my eyes in exasperation. "Luke…"

"What? Oh right…I'm not allowed to talk about him…" he grumbled, his chest vibrating against my body.

"No, you can talk about him. But you can't bash on him anymore because-"

"Because he's your friend, I know already." He mimicked, sounding annoyed.

Usually I would laugh at his mimics, but this one…well it rubbed me the wrong way.

"Luke, that's not funny." I informed him, annoyance in my tone.

"Oh come on, Ayame. You don't actually expect me to be nice to him, right?"

I sighed before lifting my head. "Luke, I've told you this again and again-"

"I know, I know. And honestly, I'm getting a little sick of it."

I was taken aback by his cold tone and stared at him with a bewildered expression on my face.

"I mean, why stick up for someone like him? He's arrogant and a loner. He's also cold and he hates everything."

I frowned at him, pulling away. "Luke, this is serious. Gill is my friend still. I don't like hearing things like that. He's actually a good guy once you get to know him."

"Oh, I know exactly what sort of guy he is." Luke replied, rolling his eyes. "He's someone who lies and lets down everyone around him. He's also selfish and only cares for himself!"

Usually when they would fight, things would be kind of funny to watch; mainly because their arguments were pointless and silly. However, this one, Luke acted very…very different. He was hitting vital points that would make someone extremely upset, not to mention, since I knew Gill's side of the story, it sort of made sense. But…I still didn't like hearing this.

"Luke! Stop it!" I implored, grabbing his arm, only to have him jerk it away. "Gill is still my friend no matter what! What has gotten into you?"

"What's gotten into me?! What about you?" He demanded, pointing a finger in my direction. "You're always spending time with him!"

"Well yeah, I mean, he is my boss!" I tried defending.

"And outside of that? Huh? You lied to me and spent the day with him instead of with me on my birthday! Your own boyfriend!" he shouted, walking away, his back facing me.

"We weren't dating then, Luke! And I thought we were okay after that!"

"Yeah, for like a few minutes. And then you start spending more time with him! Calling him on the phone, going to visit him on weekends sometimes, and even setting him up with your sister!"

I stormed over so I could stand in front of him. "Because I was trying to help bring them together."

Luke snorted, rolling his eyes again. "Sure; just another thing for the two of you to do. What's next? You gonna plan his wedding next?"

At this point, I was getting beyond frustration with him. Luke wasn't acting like himself and he was being extremely rude.

"No! I'm just trying to help him!"

"Help?!" Then he laughed dryly. "You call that help! It sounds a lot like pity. You pity him because he can't make friends on his own so you decide to quote 'help' him. And now you're giving him your sister to face his wrath!"

"Luke!" I protested, trying to get him to stop this nonsense.

"You're helping him when you should be spending time with me! Cuddling and watching movies or even training!"

"Luke stop-"

"Actually, now that I think of it, how is your ax training going? I mean, when is the last time that we actually worked on your skills? Huh? I think that was clear back in the spring and what, it's almost fall! You're neglecting me, Ayame!"

Anger and frustration burned inside of me. "That's not true and you know it!"

"Whatever! I know what's going to happen. Eventually, you'll stop dating me and realize that Gill is your new role model in life. Pretty soon, you'll start abandoning people and focus on your career. Then you'll break up with me and start hanging around the loner."

"Luke!"

"And you know why, because you continue to hang out with that idiot! His attitude will rub off on you! Then you'll turn into a selfish, pathetic, arrogant, and weak freak like him!"

Suddenly my hand flew, smacking him across the face.

Tears streamed down my cheeks and my mouth quivered. Sobs began racking through my body as I stared at the man, whom I thought was my supportive and loving boyfriend. Instead, now he was just an immature and envious hollow of a man that I fell for.

Shock filled his eyes when he stared back at me.

"H-how dare you." I choked out. "How could you ever…say that to me?"

Dread filled his gaze. "A-Ayame….I…I'm so-"

"Save it! You've already said enough!" I gasped through my sobs. "Maybe you're right…maybe we need to break up. Except I'm not doing it because of Gill. I'm doing it because of my boyfriend being a total selfish moron!"

Without another word, I rushed off into the night without looking back.

Present

I bawled against the door, trying to get rid of the tears that kept falling.

'His attitude will rub off on you! Then you'll turn into a selfish, pathetic, arrogant, and weak freak like him!' Luke's words rang through my mind.

'Selfish! Pathetic! Arrogant! Weak! Freak!'

"No! No! I'm not!" I wailed, pulling on the strands of hair that hung in my face. Every word was like a dagger to my heart. One by one, each pierced through me, making me think that everything that Luke said was right.

Selena used some of those words to describe me and Luke said that he didn't believe her. But maybe after seeing me in another light…maybe that's what he really thought of me…

No! He wasn't right! Selena wasn't either! I was none of those things and neither was Gill!

But still…why did Luke ever say that?! It wasn't true! None of it was! Why would he continue to berate Gill after we have been over and over his attitude? What had gotten into him?

My heart ached, my stomach was in knots, and I felt sick. Luke practically shattered my heart into pieces. The way that he looked at me…when he said those hurtful things to me and Gill…it was like a whole different side of him.

It was like animosity towards the blonde. Was there more to what Luke thought of Gill?

I knew Gill's side of the story, but what about Luke's side? What was going through his head that day when Gill's mom died? Was there more to the story than what Gill told me? Maybe there was…

My mind drifted back to when Luke mentioned our training. Was I really blowing it off to spend time with Gill? Well…there were a few moments where I did go see him before I started working, but that's what friends do in life; they visit.

I wasn't purposely skipping training, I would just forget.

Anger bubbled inside of me when I thought of Luke's words again. 'Weak'. I was not weak! I was never weak!

I could chop a hole through that tree trunk!

Shakily, I stood to my feet and went looking for my ax.

Sam barked at me a little, wanting attention, but I was determined to find it. I was determined to prove Luke wrong!

Once I found it, I left my house, shutting the door behind me.

As I trudged off, I could feel droplets of water hitting my face. Naturally it was raining, but I could care less at the moment. Anger and determination surged through my veins as I came closer to the tree trunk that was blocking the path.

Staring at the trunk limb, I could hear those words echoing through my head again.

'Selfish!'

Gripping the ax, I lifted it over my shoulder and took the stance that Luke had taught me.

'Pathetic!'

Digging my fingers into the wooden handle, I cried out before swinging with all my might.

"I'm not selfish!" I yelled as I made the first indent. "And I'm not pathetic!"

When I pulled the ax away, I could see that I actually made a pretty large mark on the tree. Well, at least I could make a bigger dent this time. But I was far from over.

'Arrogant! Freak!'

WHAM! The ax flew again, making another bigger hole.

"I'm neither of those!" I shouted at the sky.

Pretty soon, my ax was flying so fast, I could barely even tell that I was cutting further into the tree. The words cycled through my head over and over, making me chop at the tree faster.

My muscles were cramping a little, but I never stopped. The rain began falling harder, almost clouding my vision, but I never stopped. Everything in my head told me to stop, but I never stopped!

Suddenly I lifted the ax up behind me, reading to make the final swing.

'WEAK!'

"I AM NOT WEAK!" I screamed as I swung the ax with all of my might.

KABOOM!

The power of the explosion knocked me backwards into the mud. Once I was able to focus and sit up, I looked at the trunk to see a giant gaping hole staring back at me. I could even see the woods behind it through all of the rain and sawdust.

I...I did it. I actually did it. I chopped a hole through the Goddess Tree root.

Blinking in surprise, I rubbed my eyes, only to smear mud on my face, to see if I wasn't seeing things. Surprisingly, I wasn't.

How did I-No! I proved Luke wrong. I am not weak. I am stronger than I look! Luke was wrong and I was right!

Slowly, I stood to my feet, mud dripping from my clothes, staring at the work I had done. I couldn't wait to see the look on Luke's face when he saw this! Gill wasn't doing anything wrong! He wasn't any of those things that Luke said and he certainly wasn't rubbing off on me!

Even if I felt better by succeeding in my goal, my heart still ached from our fight. I couldn't get it out of my mind even if I proved him wrong.

Tears started falling down my cheeks again and the ax slipped from my grasp. Before I knew it, I was a sobbing mess again, clutching my chest. It hurt...it really hurt. Like a empty and painful feeling.

I wanted it to stop!

My head tilted back to stare up at the grey sky, the raindrops rolling down my face along with the various tears. Why was this happening to me? What did I do wrong?

~ Gill's P.O.V ~

"Wait! So she seriously showed up in just a beach towel?!" Emiko laughed before coughing on the food she was chewing on.

Normally, I would scold someone or stare them down while they did something like this. But I tried my hardest to be on my best behavior. Besides, Emiko wasn't so terrible to speak to.

"Well she did have her suit on underneath it." I added quickly before she was under the impression that her sister loved to show up nearly naked to wherever I was hiding. "She wanted me to join the rest of the islanders for a day at the beach."

"And did she convince you? Please tell me she did." She begged with a smile once she finished coughing.

With a sigh, I replied. "Yes, she did."

"And how was that?"

"Well…it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. I did get a little bit of a sunburn. But, I do have to admit, it was rather pleasant to swim."

She drank some of her juice before meeting my eyes. "What? Do you never go swimming or something?"

Feeling slightly embarrassed, I brushed the hair away from my eyes. "I…I can't really find the time to do it."

Her eyebrows drew together as she lay back on her back against the large blanket I brought for us to sit on. "Well make time. You are the mayor's son and you should enjoy things."

"I try to." I defended before grabbing my drink to take a sip.

She snorted just like her sister. "Sounds like bull crap to me."

Yep, just like Ayame.

"You should make time to enjoy things. Now before you roll your eyes at me, just hear me out."

Exhaling loudly before slowly laying back on the blanket, my eyes trailed up at the sky. "Fine, what do you have to say?"

"Well…the way I see it, you should enjoy some of those things."

"Yes, you've said that before."

"The reason being is because if you do things like that, not only are you going to enjoy it, but you can truly experience it."

My eyebrows drew together in confusion. "I don't follow."

"I mean, you can always see if the things in the brochure are true. When I found it, the brochure helped entice me into wanting to do it. Like it said, beautiful beaches for swimming and fishing. There was rich farmland to do cropping and to enjoy the scenery."

That made me snort. "Yeah, well that brochure is a bit outdated. I'm surprised your sister stayed after she realized that things weren't the same as the brochure said they were."

"Then update it! Find some of those fun things that can bring tourists to the island and explore them yourself. Then whatever you like, you can include them in your brochure. Does that make sense?"

I thought over her suggestion and tried to see any faults.

"It would show that you really care about the island. You want to bring tourists and new residents to the island, don't you?"

She had a point. "Yeah, I do want to bring people here."

"Then indulge yourself in the activities to do around here. People want adventure and fun! This place is the perfect way to do it! I can even help you if you want! I have some pretty awesome skills in creating and editing newsletters."

"Really?" I asked, surprised by this piece of information. "Well…that would certainly help around here."

"Besides, I'm still new here. I want to be able to do some of the activities here. My sister has told me all about how things are around here." She sighed, staring up at the stars above. "You can add this to the brochure. Star gazing up at the night sky. It's so beautiful and you can actually see the whole sky. In the city, you can barely see the stars. Out here, I can see million and billions of them…"

"Yeah…you really can…" I mumbled softly.

As we stared up at the sky, I felt something touch my hand. When my eyes trailed down to see what was touching me, it almost felt like my heart leaped inside of my chest. Emiko's hand was slowly sliding into mine. She was trying to hold my hand? Mine?

She giggled, making me look at her. "Is this okay?"

My mouth felt dry. "I…I mean…yes. I suppose...it's okay."

Her hand was fully in my own. "Good."

My heart was racing wildly. A girl was holding hands with me for the first time. Did this mean that she liked me?

Well…from my observations throughout the evening, I've noticed that we've had a steady flow of conversations over the last few hours. It was out of my comfort zone, but I still think I was doing a good job. Also, I've noticed that she smiles and giggles a lot. Well…she wasn't always laughing at me. More like a happy giggle.

As of now, she was holding my hand. That was definitely a good sign. Maybe I wasn't so bad as I thought I would be.

Once it started sprinkling, we decided to call it a night and I offered to walk her home. We talked about my plans for the village and she talked about what she hoped to accomplish while she was living here now. It was comforting to talk to someone about goals.

Before we knew it, we were outside of the now closed, Sundae Inn.

She turned to me, a bright smile upon her lips. "Thanks for tonight. I had fun." She thanked as she took the blanket off of her shoulders. Since the evening had grown so cold, she had used the blanket as a covering for herself.

"Yes, yes I suppose I had fun too." I agreed, trying to stay friendly. My nerves have settled a little, but I was still nervous.

"You're awfully proper with your speech, aren't you?"

"Well…I mean it's just the way I've been raised to speak. My parents were both very proper."

"Were? Have you lost someone?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.

I hesitated over the subject. "M-my mother passed away when I was a child."

Her smile disappeared. "Oh…I'm so sorry to hear about that. It must be hard to lose someone when you're little." She told me as her hand found mine.

My heart began to race again. "Um…it was. But…I'm doing this for her. Becoming Mayor was a dream that she hoped to see me accomplish. Just like my father."

The smile returned to her face.

"I'm sure she would be proud. Does your dad think so?"

"He's always been proud of me no matter what." Although, he was slightly aggravating about some things; such as finding a girlfriend and taking more time off of work. Then he would go on his long speeches about how he would do things whenever he had a moment. As for myself, my whole life was work time.

"I'm happy to hear that." She said before handing the blanket back to me.

There was a slight pause between us where neither of us could make eye contact or made a sound. The only thing that could be heard was the sounds of crickets hiding in the grass and the roar of the nearby ocean.

"Um…well…thank you for tonight and I guess I'll see you later."

"Yes…well…goodnight." I told her before slowly walking towards my house. But I was jerked backwards and something soft pressed to my cheek.

By the time I turned back around, Emiko blushed and ran into the Inn before I could say anything.

I stood there in the cold evening air as I felt raindrops falling on my head. I was in complete shock and awe as I tried to understand the situation.

Did she just kiss me?

~ End of Gill's P.O.V. ~

Well...she did it! She actually did it! (Yes, I know it's a little cheesy that she was able to make it explode, but then again, in Harvest Moon, they're able to do that lol). I know a lot of you were shocked by the cliffhanger. Especially how they fought and how I destroyed the favorite couple. Well...sadly in most relationships, they fight. Ayame and Luke couldn't be happy forever. What do you think got into Luke's head? Hmm? If you have theories or anything to add then go ahead and share it. I like hearing theories!

I did the whole thing with Ayame because sometimes when people break up, your mind is always racing with ideas on what you did wrong and you go through every single detail of the relationship. I know I've been through that before. Whatever you did in that relationship, you have to find a way to move past it and get on with your life (another piece of advice I've been told).

Also on a happier part, Gill and Emiko's date went well from the look of things lol. Hope you guys enjoyed it! I tried my best make this chapter good for you all. What do you think is going to happen with Luke and Ayame? Do you think they'll make up? Gill and Emiko? Do you think their romance will blossom? Only time will tell.

Please review and message me about what you think. Don't be afraid to message me either, I always try to reply to my messages and it's fun to talk with all of you. Also, if you have any ideas for me at all, please let me know. I like hearing them and who knows, maybe I'll even use one! (of course you'll get credit for it! :) Hope you enjoyed the craziness! I will try to get the next chapter out of soon as I can! Thanks everyone!
