Chapter Two - A Loving Reunion. Together at Last!
(Spring 16-5:00am)
Knock! Knock!
"Chelsea! Open up! Hurry!" Julia yelled as she pounded on the door some more.
There was a crash, yelp and then the sounds of hurried footsteps before the door was flung open to reveal a pajama clad, bed headed, wide eyed but still sleepy Chelsea.
"Why are you yelling? Is something wrong? Where's the fire?" Chelsea asked frantically.
"I needed to make sure you were up!" Julia said giggling in excitement as she stepped inside and pushed Chelsea back by her shoulders after shutting the door. "Come on get ready! Vaughn's going to arrive on the island today, remember? In fact he'll be here in an hour and a half!"
"Whaaaaat?!" Chelsea screeched now wide awake. She made a mad dash to her bathroom yelling, "Julia get the ingredients for porridge, fried eggs, toast and a few jars of milk out form my fridge while I take a shower. But for the love of the Goddess, don't cook anything!"
"Yeah, yeah! Just hurry it up!" Julia replied sounding annoyed.
Chelsea took a shower, brushed her teeth, got dressed and then started cooking. She was just about finished when there was a knock at the door. Julia grinned excitedly.
"I'll get it! I'll keep him busy for a few minutes while you finish cooking." Julia winked at her before leaving the kitchen and closing the door slightly.
Chelsea stood quiet, listening as she heard Julia answer the door. She heard her greet him and say Chelsea was just finishing cooking breakfast and that she hoped he was hungry. Chelsea heard a short, quiet mumbled reply from Vaughn. She was so nervous now that she was shaking. She knew she'd drop the food if she carried it out to the dining table.
"Julia! Could you help me carry the food to the table?" Chelsea called from the kitchen.
She hoped they didn't hear the slight shakiness in her voice.
"Sure, just a minute, Chelsea!" Julia called back.
Chelsea stared at her shaking hands and sighed feeling annoyed at herself for freaking out.
"Just breath, Chelsea, breathe. It's Vaughn. You're best friend, who you confessed your love to as you were being forcibly separated. No pressure! Nope! None at all!"
Chelsea heard someone, definitely not Julia, chuckle in amusement. A deep voice then teasingly said from behind her, "And here I thought I was going to be the most nervous."
Chelsea stood frozen for a few seconds before whirling around with wide eyes.
"V-Vaughn…" The farm girl murmured happily, tears gathering in her eyes.
The cowboy nodded and smiled softly, "Chelsea."
She nodded too and then grinned widely as the tears fell down her face. She then tackled him in a hug.
They pulled back slightly as their eyes darted to the other's bandana, Vaughn searching for the initials CV on Chelsea's red bandana on top of her head and Chelsea looking for the initials VC on Vaughn's white bandana around his neck.
"It's really you…It's really you…" She whispered happily over and over again.
"You still have the bandana I gave you." He murmured placing his finger tips over the two letters he had stitched on it.
"And you too. You still have the one I gave you." She said reaching up a little to trace the initials she stitched on it.
They looked at each other smiling. Then Chelsea felt herself start to blush and turned around mumbling about breakfast and it getting cold.
Vaughn chuckled and turned her back around, wrapping his arms around her waist. Chelsea placed her arms around his neck and looked up at him. The blush on her face would've made a tomato jealous.
Vaughn leaned down to kiss her as Chelsea found herself reaching up to meet him half way. Their lips met in a soft, loving first kiss. They pulled back both blushing now, but smiling softly at each other.
"I love you, Chelsea. I really missed you." Vaughn murmured lovingly.
"I love you, too, Vaughn. And I really miss you too." Chelsea murmured lovingly back.
They smiled again at each other and Vaughn let go of Chelsea to help her carry the food out to the table. Neither of the two noticed the absence of Julia, only focused solely on each other and that they were together again at last and nothing would ever separate them again.
The End
End of chapter two and also the end of this story! I warned y'all Vaughn would be terribly OOC. This chapter was a lot shorter than the last one, I know. But I couldn't really think of anything. Not to mention I have a short attention span and can't concentrate on anything for too long. Be luck I even finished this fic... What do you guys think? Please review, but no flames! Hope y'all enjoyed reading this so far! I don't own Harvest Moon, I only own this story, its ideas and its plot!
