Akira and Hikari were working on one of her two farms one Spring day. They had cows, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, silk worms, a horse and an ostrich. They lead most of the animals into the grass to eat.

They had a Hilltop Plot and a Seaside Plot.

Takeru and Yuuki also worked that day. They had fruit trees and several different crops and flowers, and it was Spring, so there were turnips, potatoes, cabbages, flax, strawberries, breadfruit, green herbs, hycanith flowers, lavender flowers, tulip flowers and moondrop flowers.

They had a Town Plot and Mountain Plot.

One day, Takeru and Yuuki and Akira and Hikari were walking to each other's houses. They weren't sure which farms to go to, but that didn't stop them.

They were halfway when they found each other.

"We have a problem," said Takeru, getting right to it.

He was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans and had brown hair and brown eyes and brown boots and dwhite gloves.

"Yes, we have," said Akira.

She was wearing a long green tunic and blue short and had bright brown hair and bright brown eyes and white boots and white gloves.

"You two have the Seaside Plot!" Yuuki said in complaint. "We want to fish there!"

Yuuki was in red shirt under a white shirt and blue jeans and brown shoes and brown eyes and hair and white gloves.

"Well, you two have the Town Plot!" Hikari also said in complaint. "I want to get to town quicker!"

Hikari was in pink and yellow and yellow shoes and pink hair and eyes and white gloves.

"Well, we there's only one thing to set things straight," said Takeru.

"What?" Akira asked.

"Tell the town mayor!" Takeru said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The two farmers walked to the Town Hall in silence before entering.

Hamilton, the mayor, was at the counter.

He was in blue with blue eyes, wispy gray hair and a red jewel. His shoes were brown.

"Hello!" he said. 'What are you two here for?"

"We want to renew our building permits," Takeru said.

"We deserve the Town Plot!' said Hikari.

"And we deserve the Seaside Plot!" said Yuuki.

"Hmm. How about you two sleep in one of the four plots for a while?" the mayor suggested.

"Actually, I have an idea, father," said a voice from the other room.

Then Gill, the mayor's son, walked in.

He had a blue sweater, blue plaid plants, brown shoes, a gray undershirt, blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I suggest that you for room at the Sundae Inn. For a month," said Gill.

"But our animals are near the Seaside Plot!" said Akira.

"And our crops are near the Town Plot!" said Takeru.

"Plus, I don't see why you two need extra plots," Gill said.

"JUST IN CASE!" the farmers yelled.

"So. What now?" Akira asked aloud.

"What about our animals?" asked Yuuki.

"And our crops?!" asked Hikaru.

"I'll get the owners of Soufflé Farm to replant your crops and the owners of Brownie Ranch to look after the animals and guide them to their own farm until your month is over," said Gill.

Silence.

"I don't understand it!" Gill said. "You're all SIBLINGS! And you don't even live together!"

"There's four plots," said Takeru. "So we all have room on the farm."

"Well, now you may find room at the inn!" Gill said. "And ask to work part-time so you may have money. You'll need it since you don't have anything to sell."

All farmers stormed out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'm afraid you'll have to share a whole room," said the head chef. "It's the only vacant one."

"But Yolanda!" said Takeru, pleadingly. "We had four farms houses so we shouldn't have to bother each other!"

Yolanda was an old lady in pink pigtails, yellow white and blue, red shoes and blue eyes.

"I have an idea!" Yolahda said. "You may work here part-time so you may get some money!"

"That doesn't help us," said Yuuki. "And Gill already asked that of us."

Yolanda blinked. "Well, you may!"

So, Akira and Hikaru worked the restaurant and Takeru and Yuuki worked the bar.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That night, all four siblings slept in one room. It was small, but all had four beds regardless.

"I missed this!" said Hikari.

Each of the other three agreed.

"I also liked part-time stuff," said Takeru.

"We all know what we're telling Gill soon, right?" asked Akira.

More agreement.

"Then let's!" said Takeru.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You want your own NEW plot?" asked Gill.

"Correct," said Yuuki.

"In Waffle Town!" said Hikari.

Gill thought for a moment.

Then he smiled.

"Got it!" he said. "I'll find the necessary workers! It should be finished soon!"

So, the four siblings waited patiently to live together.

Chapter Text

Van, Jin and Anissa's son, was at the Meringue Clinic one Summer Day. Van slumped against the wall, reading a book and drinking an energy drink. It was a superhero manga.

He had short black hair, A green shirt and shoes, orange pants and red eyes.

Anissa was at the counter, waiting for potential customers.

Then Irene, Jin's grandmother and Van's great grandmother walked in.

She approached Anissa.

"Why don't you allow Van to work here? Just for today," Irene said.

"Let's wait for Jin," Anissa said.

Jin walked in.

"What's Van on the floor for?" he whispered in his wife's ear.

"He's here to watch us work," she whispered back. "Remember?"

Jin approached his son.

"Van," he said. "Would you like to work the counter?"

Van looked his father in the eyes.

"Cool!" he said.

Then he got right to it.

But before Van asked his parents to work on the farm and in the clinic, his parents had to marry. This is that story.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

One day, Summer day, Anissa, the inheriter of Soufflé Farm, which her parents, Craig and Ruth had presented to her, and was in front of her brother in age, Taylor, was working with a cow that had just given birth to her calf.

She was in a red and green yellow and orange dress. Her hair was half in a braid, the rest down. She had brown eyes.

Normally, she wouldn't mind such things, help a cow recover from birth and her calf, but the other three farmers who lived on the island were at a Farmers Convention in Flower Bud Village across the seas.

This was a one-time-only thing, however. It wasn't every day that Anissa helped birth a baby animal.

When her chores were done, she decided on one thing.

To visit the town.

And to visit the town doctor: Jin.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anissa knocked opened the door, heard a female voice say "You're allowed in!"

Then Anissa walked in.

It must've been Irene, Jin's grandmother. She and a guy named, "Perry", a trainee, were the only ones there.

Irene was in a orange, green and brown dress. She had silver hair in s bun and green eyes.

Perry was all in white and brown eyes and blue hair.

"Would you like a check-up?" asked Perry.

"I think you should have a Stay Awake," said Irene. "Or would you prefer a nice cup of tea?'

"Ooh! I like herbal tea!" said Perry.

"Just be patience and be ready for. Well, other patients. You're a trainee, after all." said Irene.

Then a man in a white coat, glasses and black hair walked in from the backroom.

"Hi, Jin!" Anissa said.

"I suppose you want to work for part-time, here, again?" asked Jin.

"Yes!" said Anissa.

"Grandmother," said Jin to Irene. "Aren't we out of herbs? And all the other items, too? Should I search the island for more?"

"I suppose you should," said Irene.

"Then I'll leave Perry and you here while I walk Anissa to the hot springs,"

"Yeah-uh!" Perry said with a fist bump.

"Why are we going to the hot springs?" asked Anissa.

"It's another way to relax and feel awake and alert," said Jin. "We are about to work together."

"Then I'll get my bathing suit!" Anissa said.

"Do you have a bathing suit?" Jin asked.

"I was hoping both of us should buy some,"

"Then let's go to the tailors'!" said Jin.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jin and Anissa arrived at the tailor's. Shelly, Luna and Candace were there.

Shelly was another old lady. Luna and Candace were her grandchildren. They were sisters.

"Welcome!" Shelly said behind the counter.

Shelly had pink handkerchief around her gray ponytail in green thread. She has blue eyes behind a pair of glasses. She had a yellow shirt and green pants with yellow spots. She had red shoes.

A girl walked in. "Grandma Shelly!" she said. "I'M working the counter today!"

She was in pink curls with white and yellow flowers, a white dress will ruffles and white shoes with pink flowers. She had blue eyes. She carried around a black plush bunny wherever she went. The bunny had a light green bonnet.

"I'll resume my sewing, than," Shelly said, presumably to that.

Then another girl walked in.

"I-It isn't today my turn, Luna?" she asked, timidly.

She was all and blue. Blue shirt and blue braids. Blue shirt and blue plaid skirt. Brown shoes. And blue eyes, like her sister.

Both sisters appeared to be total opposites.

"Sure thing, Candace!" told the first girl.

"We want bathing suits!" said Jin.

"W-what ever for?" asked Candace.

"We don't want to be in the nude together, right, Anissa?" Jin said.

"Right!" said Anissa in agreement.

"I-Ive have a pair in the back," Candace stuttered some more.

The blue-clad tailor went into another room.

"I only have a full-body suit for Jin. I have a tankini for Anissa," said Candace. "They're in purple and-and white, though, so it's sensible."

Jin bowed. "Now, let's go," he said to Anissa.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"We really have to go straight to the hot spring in Caramel Falls?" Anissa asked Jin when they got there.

"To be honest, I-"

But then a man in blue with a relaxed face and with a fishing rod went to the spring. There, he pointed the hook towards the spring and threw it in.

"Watch it, Toby!" Jin yelled.

It wasn't anywhere near the two, but Toby felt responsible.

"Sorry!" he said.

He quickly left.

Anissa and Jin realized they had been holding each other in surprise.

Both blushed then let go.

"I think we've had enough," said Jin.

"Sounds good."

So, Jin walked Anissa home.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next day, Anissa went to visit Jin at the clinic again.

Jin saw Anissa enter in.

"I want to help you in turn for helping me." said Anissa.

"You sure?" asked Jin.

"Yes," said Anissa.

Jin smiled. "Okay! Welcome!",

Soon, Perry, Jin and Anissa worked with cures and medicines and helping people at the counter.

Then it was getting late.

"I'll help you home," said Jin.

"I don't mind," said Anissa.

"I would like to, though," he said.

Anissa didn't think that much of it. "Okay!"

So, they went to Anissa's home at Soufflé Farm.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jin woke up in the spare room at Soufflé Farm.

Taylor, Annisa's brother walked in.

"Mom and Dad told me to show you the kitchen for breakfast!" Taylor said.

And then he was off, expecting Jin to follow him.

In the kitchen were Annisa, Taylor, and Anissa's parents, Ruth and Craig. They all sat down to eat brunch.

"Nice to see you up," said Ruth with a bow.

She was in a green and blue dress, yellow shoes, short brown hair and green eyes.

"Thank you for looking after our daughter," said Craig.

He brown eyes, an orange hat, orange jacket, green shirt, black pants and yellow shoes.

Anissa blushed. "I was only a helper."

Jin frowned.

Anissa looked at him.

"Something wrong?" she asked.

Jin smiled. "Nothing!" he said.

Craig got right to it.

"Would you like to stay and help out, now that you're here?"

Anissa was the one to frown, this time.

"Dad! He's our guest!'

Jin got up. "I WANT to help!"

"Then let's get started!" said Craig.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Craig, Anissa and Jin went into the fields. It was Summer, though, so they were growing onions, honeydews, tomatoes and corn.

Jin wasn't able to do much.

Craig went to get the mail.

Anissa went inside, then he excited. She had a cup of hot herbal tea.

Jin drank it, then got up.

"That was nice," he said.

Then Craig returned with the mail.

"It's for you, Jin'!" he said.

"How was it sent here?" Jin thought.

He opened it.

"'Jin, Perry and I figured you wanted to spend more quality time with your girlfriend, so, return when you want. Have fun'!" -Love, Grandma Irene"

Jin blushed. "I did not expect that!"

Anissa blushed, too.

"I-I really should leave, yes," Jin stuttered.

"Why go away?" asked Anissa. "Stay!" Please!"

"I guess I should tell you I only visited your farm to spend more time with you," Jin said. "And that I liked you was supposed to be a secret."

"Well I only wanted to work at the clinic to spend time with YOU," said Anissa.

"That's good news!" Jin said.

"I think so, too!" said Anissa.

Then, they were married.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Van was later, working somewhere else.

In the fields.

Jin and Anissa watched as he was working.

Van went up to his parents.

"Mom, Dad! May I please work on the farm forever?"

The parents smiled and looked at each other.

"Yes, you may," said Jin.

"May I work at the clinic?" Van asked.

"You may," said Anissa.

"Both of them?!" Van asked once more.

"If it's not too trouble!" said Jin.

"How about alternating days?" Anissa asked Jin.

"Sounds good!" said Jin.

And so, Van was on his way to working at the clinic and on the farm!

Chapter Text

Vivian, Gill and Luna's daughter, was at the Town Hall one Fall Day. Vivian was at the counter, awaiting customers, while reading a book. It was a graphic novel, where a superhero fought a villain.

She was in Iong, blonde hair with a yellow and white flower in it, a white shirt, black and red skirt, black shoes and blue eyes.

Then, her mother, Luna, walked in.

She was in Fall clothes. A red and pink dress, black boots with pink flowers, pink and yellow flowers and a red headband in her medium pink hair.

"Hello, Vivian!" said Luna. "Shouldn't you be at the tailor's?"

"Well-" but Vivian was cut off.

"GILL!" her mother called.

Gill walked into the other room.

"Luna! How are you?" Gill asked.

Gill was in a white suit, blue shirt, a golden pendant, brown shoes, short blue hair and blue eyes.

It must be said that Gill was now mayor of the town. His father, Hamilton, was retired.

"Don't you 'How are you' to me!" Luna said she shook her finger at Gill.

"Well, I didn't expect yourself to be here! Weren't you at Sonata Tailoring?" asked Gill.

"Um. Mom, Dad?" Vivian asked, trying to get a word in, again.

"I don't think Vivian should work here!" said Luna.

"I want Vivian to work here!" said Gill. "She should be at the counter."

"Let's ask Vivian!" said Luna.

"VIVIAN!" her parents called.

"I'm here," said a voice from across the room.

"A-and I want both jobs!"

But, before Vivian worked at the town hall and at the tailor's her parents were married. This is that story.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

One day, in Fall, Luna was behind the counter of Sonata Tailoring. Her sister, Candace, entered from another room.

She was in a white shirt and blue jacket, blue and black checkered skirt, brown shoes, long blue hair in braids and blue eyes.

"U-um, Luna? Why do you still carry around that bunny?" she asked as she pointed at the toy.

"Why?" asked Luna with a frown.

"I think it distracts the customers," said Candace. "And it shows you act like a child."

Then Shelly, Candace and Luna's grandma entered.

She was in a yellow shirt with green ends, green pants, red shoes, red handkerchief, blue eyes and glasses and gray hair in a ponytail.

"Oh, Candace!" she said. "You of all people shouldn't worry about bullies. And it seems you're jealous I was the one who sewed that bunny and it was meant for her."

"Sorry," Candace said to Luna as she bowed. "I mostly regret selling my own bunny, by the way. But I'd not show off mine."

"Hmm," said Shelly. "I won't stop you, but I think you'll have more trouble than your sister finding a man."

"But-" but Luna was cut off.

Then, from outside, Gill walked in.

"I need new shoes!" he said.

"My job!" Luna offered as she went past her family. She set her bunny near a chair on the ground.

Luna got Gill by the hand and lead him inside.

"Sit!" she said as she showed him a chair. "What's your size?"

"Nine," said Gill.

"Color?" asked Luna.

"Brown," said Gill.

So, Luna presented shoes to Gill.

"They're wonderful!" said Gill.

Luna blushed. "I'm grateful! I don't usually cobble in this store."

"You mean 'we'?" asked Candace from the corner.

Luna frowned. "Get away!"

Candace left.

Then Gill noticed the bunny.

"This is cute!" he said.

Luna frowned, again. She got up. "It's likable?"

"Yes!" said Gill.

"Everybody thinks it shows off my childlike manner," said Luna.

"Well, you are childish," said Gill.

"But-" Luna was cut off.

"I think it's wonderful you're like a kid! I'm childish, too!" said Gill. "Follow me and I'll show something."

"How long will we be?" Luna asked.

"Not long, said Gill.

Luna went to her grandma.

"I'm following Gill!" she said. "I shouldn't be long!"

So, Gill and Luna left to see a secret surprise.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gill and Luna walked to Maple Lake District and found a flower there. Gill got put a bottle of water and poured it on it.

All at once, five Harvest Sprites appeared! Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple!

"Gill brought a visitor!" said the one in Red. "I'm Alan! This is Collin, Daren, Ben and Edge."

"These are the Harvest Sprites!" Gill said to Luna. "I've known them on and off since childhood. I think if I'm talking to them, you may carry a plushie. There's no reason to feel embarrassed."

"So, you think showing us off to your girlfriend is by telling her we're for kids?!" Collin asked.

Both Luna and Gill blushed.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Gill said.

"Regardless, we're for kids?!" asked Daren.

"I meant I've known you since we WERE kids!" said Gill.

"Oh," said Ben.

"In any case, I'm grateful you helped me," said Luna, blushing, again. "Will you help me, again?"

"How?" asked Gill.

"Grandma Shelly says I shouldn't be able to find a man being more immature than somebody my age," said Luna.

"Nonsense!" said Gill "I'll help!"

"Huh?" Luna asked. "You want to pretend to be my boyfriend?"

Gill frowned. "Not your real boyfriend?"

Luna smiled. "My real boyfriend!"

They embraced!

Then, Gill and Luna went to confront Shelly and Candace.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I don't think we need to worry, anymore!" said Shelly, when they arrived. "I'm glad how things may be!"

"C-Congratulations, Luna!" said Candace.

"One thing I want, though," said Shelly. "Gill, I want you to work here. For a trial. Say Luna gets sick and can't sew, and Candace and I aren't around. You need to be able to sew for her."

"Consider it!" said Gill. "Luna, I hope I may allow this for my own job! Practice at the Town Hall."

"I agree!" said Luna.

So, Luna and Gill spent their time at opposite jobs.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gill went to Sonata Tailoring the next day. He approached Shellly.

"I am here to work in Luna's place, instead, today," Gill said to her.

"Luna already told myself and Candace," Shelly said. "Follow me."

Shelly showed Gill a table, chair and fabric. She also showed him how to sew.

"I'll return, later," said Shelly. "I must be at the counter."

Gill spent the next few hours sewing.

Well, he tried.

"I see you have trouble placing the the thread in the needle," Shelly said as she appeared.

"Yes," said Gill in disappointment.

"No worries!" said Shelly in assurance. "I see trying. I think only trying is good enough for my Luna.

"May I see Luna, again?" Gill asked.

"Yes!" said Shelly.

So, Gill went to see Luna.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile, Luna was at the Town Hall.

"Hello, Luna!" Hamilton said in greeting. "Gill told me you're working here, today!"

"Good!" said Luna. "What should I accomplish, right away?"

"You should be at the counter," Hamilton said. "Gill accomplishes that, daily."

"Who will be at the counter?" asked Luna. "Besides me?"

"Customers!" Hamilton said before leaving to another room.

Soon, one of the town farmers, Takeru, walked in.

"Luna?" he asked. "Why are you here?"

"Never mind!" said Luna. "Why are you here?"

"My family and I want to put a basement on one of our houses," Takeru said.

Luna frowned. "Have enough? I mean, you have four houses!"

Takeru matched her frown. "Never mind."

Then, he left.

And Luna stood there, awaiting for her job to be over.

Hamilton walked in.

"About to tell me I have bad people skills?" Luna asked.

"No," said Hamilton. "In fact, I think Takeru and his family want too much."

"So, I may see Gill, again?!" Luna asked.

"Yes!" said Hamilton.

So, Luna left to see Gill.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was the afternoon, and Gill and Luna met halfway between the Tower Hall and the tailor's.

"My family appears of you!" said Luna and Gill at one time.

"Luna, since both of our families approve, will you marry me?" Gill asked.

"Yes, I love you, Gill!" said Luna.

"I love you, too!" said Gill.

Soon, they were married.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Again, one Fall day, Vivian was working.

Well, she WAS working. She, currently, was standing in front of her parents.

Her parents smiled at each other.

"Vivian, we're sorry for arguing about you." said Luna.

"You may work wherever you wish. We won't get in the way." said Gill.

"Hooray!" said Vivian. "I want both!"

And so, Vivian was on her way to working as a seamstress and the town mayor!

Chapter Text

Matt, Toby and Renee's son, was on the deck of middle of one Winter day. He had fallen asleep, not because he was tired, he only wanted a nap.

He was in a blue shirt with a yellow stripe, brown shorts, yellow and blue shoes, short brunette hair with a relaxed face.

Pascal, a boat owner, tried to help him.

"Matt!" he called. "I must ask and tell you something!"

He was in a white shirt, purple and green jacket, belt, white pants, white and black captain's cap and gray sideburns.

Matt awakened. "What's the problem?"

"I was supposed to tell you earlier, but you were napping. Your parents wanted to have you aboard. To learn how to drive a boat. No driving, but you'll watch," said Pascal. "Agree?"

Matt smiled. "Agreed! But-"

Matt was cut off. Both of his parents arrived.

Everybody were in Winter clothes.

"Everyone is here!" said his mother, Renee.

Renee was in a red dress, brown shoes, brunette have hair and brown eyes.

"Want to see how to drive?" asked Toby, his father.

Toby was in blue clothes, brown shoes, a yellow straw hat on his backwards, gray hair and relaxed eyes.

"Yeah!" said Matt.

Cain was in a green shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, short brunette hair and blue eyes.

Hanna was in a yellow green and purple dress, short blonde-brunette hair in a short ponytail and brown eyes.

Paolo was in a white shirt and green vest, dark blue pants and blue shoes, a blue hat, which he wore backwards, dark brunette hair and a relaxed face.

Ozzie was in a yellow shirt and purple vest, green pants, black shoes,yellow straw hat and red band and relaxed face.

Pascal was in yellow shirt, purple and green jacket, white pants, black shoes, red white and black Captain's hat and beady eyes.

"Hi, Matt!" said all of them.

So, Matt saw Pascal drive.

He steered the wheel. He went over a reef. He passed through rapids. People saw fish in the the blue waters. Then, they returned.

"Well?" asked Toby.

"Was that fun?!" asked Renee.

"I think I'll carry out this forever!" said Matt. "But-but also a few other things.

Only, before Matt was free to catch fish and get on a boat, his parents were married. This is that story.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A long time ago, in Winter, Renee was at her parent's farm, Brownie Ranch. She was told by Anissa she was attending the Farmers Convention in Flower Bud Village across the seas, this time. Her family went with her. So, she was helping with the crops. Renee wanted to carry out the planting on her own, since she didn't want to have her family to accomplish anything they weren't happy to. So, it was up to her.

Today, she planted Buckwheat, a Winter crop.

Then, Toby appeared from behind her, with a fishing rod.

"Hi, Renee!" he said to her. "Tired?"

"No," Renee said. "But I always feel better when you're around. I'm currently working."

Toby blushed.

"Well, I may help," Toby said as he handed her a bottle of water. "It's from the hot spring. Near Caramel Falls."

Renee sipped from the bottle. She immediately felt amazing!

"I'm grateful!" said Renee. "Always have hot spring water?"

"Yes!" said Toby. "I also bathe in the hot spring, but the bottle is for emergencies."

"I didn't need it. OBut you also visit Caramel Falls?" Renee asked.

"To fish!" said Toby.

"I've always wanted to fish," said Renee. "Never had."

"Why never tell me?" asked Toby.

"Worrying about disappointment," said Renee.

"You haven't! I'll teach you!" said Toby.

"Terrific!" said Renee. "Sure?"

"I'm sure!" Toby got out another fishing pole. "I always have an extra. Ready to start for the falls?"

"Mm-hmm!" said Renee in agreement.

So, they walked to Caramel Falls. And the hot spring.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Let's leave for the base of the fall," said Toby, the night arriving.

When they arrived, Toby showed Renee how to fish. But Toby caught nothing.

"Guess there's no fish to be caught, at the moment," said Renee.

Then Renee caught one!

"It's only a Carp," said Toby. "But you surpassed even I!"

"I'm showing this to my parents!" said Renee.

"I'll walk you home," said Toby.

On the way there, Renee began to yawn. And Toby forgot to fill his water.

"May I please carry you?" Toby asked.

"No, I-" but Renee was cut off.

Toby carried her home.

Cain and Hanna, Renee's parents, rushed over to them.

"Why is my daughter in your arms?!" asked Cain.

"She was tired," said Toby.

Renee stood. "Mom, Dad, I'm okay. I wasn't tired. Toby is only nice. In fact, I learned something today!"

"'Learn'?" asked Hanna.

Renee got the extra fishing rod from Toby's things.

"I fish!" said Renee.

"That's fine and all," said Hanna. "But you're a farmer, Renee. Find more TIME to fish. If you're able."

"And if Toby wants to help in the future, he must learn to be a ranch hand, too!" said Cain.

"Agreed," said Toby.

"'Agreed'?" asked Renee.

"Agreed!" said Toby. "And should you please work at On The Hook for me? So, we may help each other in the future?"

"Okay!" said Renee.

"If that happens, I should tell you that there's a surprise for you afterwards!" Toby grinned.

So, both went to separate jobs.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Toby spent the night and went to work in the morning. With Renee's parents' help, he sheared the Sheep, milked the Cows, gathered the Chicken eggs, also gathered Duck eggs, milked the Goats and gathered the silk from the Silk worms.

"Amazing, Toby!" said Hanna.

"I expected less than this, Toby" said Cain. "I am proud. You have my blessing,"

"Mine, as well," said Hanna.

Toby blushed. "I'm grateful! I love her. Now, it's her decision."

Then, he left to find her at the On The Hook.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Renee went inside the place. Paolo was at the counter. Ozzie was slouching in the corner.

"Toby told me to visit here to help out," Renee told Ozzie.

"Paolo!" said Ozzie. "Go play outside. Maybe fish. Toby's girlfriend is here."

Renee was blushing vividly. "Well, time to ready myself!"

Only one person visited. It was Pascal, the boat captain.

"I want a Grilled Clam," he asked.

Renee got out the food from a fridge and sold it to Pascal.

"Good job, Renee!" said Ozzie.

"But I only dealt with ONE customer," Renee said.

"Good enough for me," said Ozzie.

Then, Toby walked in. "Oh, good! Here, both!"

"Who?" asked Ozzie. "Me and Paolo.

"Pascal and Renee!" Toby said. "I want to pay for a boat ride."

"I may accomplish that!" said Pascal.

"I want that!" said Renee.

So, Renee, Toby and Pascal went on a boat.

They went on until they were out of site of the island. Then, Toby asked Renee an important question.

"Renee, I love you! Will you marry me?" said Toby.

"I love you, too!" said Renee. "I will marry you!"

After a while, they were married.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was still Winter and Matt and his friends and family were on the same ship.

Toby and Renee tried to tell Matt something.

"Having fun?" asked Renee.

"Want to spend more time with this?" asked Toby.

Matt tried to explain himself.

"Mom, Dad?" Matt asked. "Is it okay if I also want to work Brownie Ranch and On The Hook and fishing?"

Both parents smiled.

"We were about to ask that!" said Toby.

"You may!" said Renee.

And so, Matt was on his way to working on the farm and fishing!

Chapter Text

One Spring day, each resident of Waffle Island was getting ready for the warm, warm weather.

Angie, the daughter of Julius and Candace, was at Maple Lake in the Maple Lake District, fishing.

She was in dark pink and purple dress with red flowers, dark purple shoes and pink socks, purple hair with a red bow in it and purple eyes.

"I wonder where your father, Julius, is?" asked her mother, Candace, who had accompanied her there.

She was in more pale clothes than the Winter ones.

Then, Julius, Angie's father and Candace's wife approached. Owen the miner, Ramsey the blacksmith, Owen's grandfather, Chloe the young miner and Toby went with him.

Julius was in a frilly red shirt, black shirt, black pants and yellow and red shoes, silver heart earrings, short purple hair with yellow highlights and red eyes.

Owen was in red pants and black shirt with red shoes and brown shoes, a white neckerchief, short red hair, blue eyes and many muscles.

Ramsey was in a blue and orange smock, orange gloves, blue pants, brown shoes, gray hair, mustache and a goatee.

Chloe was in a yellow shirt with a purple stripe, red skirt and a red apron, red shoes with white socks, short red hair in a green thread and green gloves with red at the end.

Toby was in Spring wear.

"Hi, Candace! Hey, Angie!" Toby said in greeting. "I'm here to show your daughter some new ways to fish. Unfortunately, a few people saw me and followed."

Then Angie paused with her fishing.

But before Angie was born and began work at the Tailor Shop and the On The Hook fishing shop, and sewing and fishing and mining, her parents married. This is that story.

Julius had only arrived from off the island, recently. He had been working the counter at Koto Accessories. He was currently reading a paper. He turned a page. Then Luna walked in.

"Where's Julius?!" Luna asked.

Julius stopped reading. "Right here! Um. Who?"

"Luna!" said Luna.

"Luna?" Julius asked. "I failed to recognize you!"

"Me also, Julius!" said Luna.

"How is Candace?" asked Julius asked. "Your sister?"

"Horrible!" said Luna. *You caused her to be a shy wallflower a long time ago! "

"Well, Candace almost caused me to be shy, too! I was okay, though. What fails to help you helps you to be stronger." Julius said. "And more courageous!"

"That's not the right saying!" said Luna.

"I like mine the best!" said Julius. "It's better than others."

Then Julius remembered something. "I know why Candace is shy. And I am not to blame."

"I don't believe you, Julius!" Luna said. "But I'm curious. What do you mean? At all?"

"That is between me and Candace," said Julius. "Why are you even here?"

Luna frowned. "I'm here to warn you not to bother my sister anymore."

"Candace and I are grown-ups," said Julius. "She'll side with me."

Luna stamped her foot. "I will not let you see my sister!"

'How about you ask her and see what she decides?" said Julius. "I think she'll say 'yes',"

"All right,'" said Luna. "But don't ever be surprised when she says 'no',"

"And tell her I also explore the mines, currently," said Julius. "She'll be able to know why."

So, Luna went to ask Candace about Julius. In worry.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Candace and Luna were at The Tailors. Shelly was busy working in another room.

"Julius is on the Islands, again?!" Candace asked in surprise once she heard

"Yeah, I told him to not see you again, but we agreed YOU should decide. I figured that-" Luna said.

"Where is Julius?!" Candace asked.

"At Koto Accessories shop," said Luna. "He works there. He also frequently spends time in the mines, now."

Candace got out a coat and ran outside without saying farewell or a goodbye.

"Candace?!" said. Luna. "CANDACE!"

But Candace didn't hear Luna.

She had other plans.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Candace knocked on thr accessories shop, but got no response. So she, went to leave, but then saw somebody approach her.

It was Chloe, the cousin to the other blacksmith, Owen and granddaughter of the blacksmith, Ramsey

"Hi. Candace!" said Chloe. "I was at the mines a bit ago. I'm only allowed some of the time since I'm a kid. Whatcha doin' here?"

"I heard Julius returned, but he wasn't there today," said Candace. "It was closed."

"I only met the guy, today, though!" said Chloe. "Today!"

"He left years ago. Where is he, then?!" asked Candace.

"He went in the mines with Grandpa Ramsey and Cousin Owen. To get gems," said Chloe.

"Isn't that dangerous?! Very dangerous?!" Candace asked.

"Hey. They let a kid in there, right?" Chloe pointed out. "As in me?"

Candace was calm. "Are the mines cold? I think they are."

"Sometimes," Chloe said.

"Then I'll go in the mines, also!" said Candace.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Candace entered, she saw Owen and Ramsey were there.

"Why are you here?" Owen asked.

"You must be inexperienced, Miss Candace," said Ramsey.

"I'm here to see an old friend," said Candace. "Julius."

"He went a few stairs into the mines past us," said Ramsey. "He said he's helping you."

Candace went to the steps past the blacksmiths.

She knew why Julius was there.

And she was about to help him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Candace saw Julius hitting rocks.

"What are you trying to accomplish?" asked Candace.

Julius paused. He placed his hammer in a bag. "I'm glad you're here, Candace! Good to see you! Are you here because I'm mining?"

Candace smiled. "I should ask you something why, Julius."

Julius blushed. "I. I wanted to give you a present. You like Pearls, yes? Yes?"

"Yes," said Candace. "How thoughtful! I'm glad!"

"I was about to create a Pearl Necklace for you!" said Julius.

Then, Candace realized something. "Pearls aren't found in mines! At all!"

"Huh?!" Julius asked in surprise. "I suppose it is true. I caught a lot of fish while I traveled the world for a while. Maybe I was confused?"

"May I fish with you?" Candace asked.

"Even after all I put you through?" Julius asked. "I mean, I wanted to create a necklace to amend, but-"

"I forgive you!" Candace said.

"I forgive you, too!" Julius said.

"And here, we should share a coat in the mines," said Candace.

"Yes, let's," said Julius.

So, things were alright with Candace and Julius. Between the both of them.

But they still had a ways to go.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Candace and Julius walked, holding hands towards the ocean.

"I want to teach you how to fish," said Julius. "It's a fun talent."

Soon, they were on the beach in the sand. Julius got a rod. He put it in the sea. But nothing happened.

"Then your turn!" Julius said.

Candace attempted. Then.

She got an Oyster! With a Pearl!

"Stupendous!" Julius said.

"Now, you may create me another necklace!" said Candace.

"One more thing, though," said Julius. "We have to see your family, also."

"Meaning my grandmother, Shelly?" Candace asked.

"And your sister," said Julius. "Luna."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Julius and Candace walked over to the Sonata Tailoring shop. Shelly, Luna and Candace's grandmother was there. So was Luna, also.

"Oh how good to see you, Julius!" said Shelly.

"I'm surprised you may tell it's me!" said Julius. "Me!"

"Someone as flamboyant as you? I should always recognize you!" said Shelly.

"I'm not sure if that's an insult or a compliment, but okay!" said Julius.

Luna heard them talking from another room and burst in. "Candace! What are you with HIM for?!"

Candace smiled. "It doesn't matter, Luna. We forgave each other."

Luna pointed at Shelly. "Why, also, are you on his side?!"

"Because they BOTH played tricks on each other in the past! And they were only pranks, and they didn't mean it! Then, Julius played one last trick on Candace. It didn't go well," said Shelly. "But it was obvious they liked each other when they were children."

"Why fail to tell me?" asked Luna. "EVER?!"

"You were so immature, than. You still are immature for love even right now," said Shelly.

"But I'm married!" Luna said. "To Gill!"

"And now I realize you are ready," said Shelly. "Definitely."

"Julius? Do you still like Candace?" asked Shelly.

Julius blushed. "I still. Candace?"

Candace blushed. "I, too"

"But Candace is shy because of you!" said Luna. "A wallflower!"

Then Julius nudged Candace. "Time to tell them, Candace.

Candace got out a bottle. "Grandma Shelly? Remember I have ADHD?"

"Yes?" asked Shelly.

"Well, I started with these to help me concentrate. To sew without distractions. That is why I'm so soft-spoken. It's a side effect. I only take them as needed, now. But still!"

"I'm going to help Candace sew!" said Julius. "And she won't take meds. And she'll never be shy, again!"

Then, Julius got on a knee on the ground.

"Candace, I'm glad we're finally together. I was saving this moment for a necklace or a. Blue Feather, but I didn't wanna to wait. Will you marry me? Will you say so?"

"I do!" said Candace she said in elation.

Luna and Shelly glanced at each other.

"Good luck!" said Shelly. "Be happy!"

"Good luck, Sis!" said Luna. "And you, too, Julius!"

Then, they were soon married!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Angie looked around. Each adult was staring at her.

"I want to fish and sew for work!" Angie said. "AND, sometimes, mine gems and go into the mines!"

Each of them all smiled.

"Follow your dreams," said Candace.

"Do whatcha want," said Julius. "Be happy."

So, Angie was in training to sew and fish! And, also, went into the mines!

One day in Fall, young Calvin was busy at his grandmother, Barbara, and his grandfather, Simon's General Store. His mother, Pheobe, and Calvin, his father, walked in.

"Hi, Mom!" Heath greeted his parents. "Why are you here?"

"To win your grandparents over, Son!" said Calvin.

"Mom!" Pheobe said. "I told you I wanted Heath to work with Calvin and myself!"

Pheobe was in a blue shirt and orange jacket, brown pants, yellow socks, red white and blue shoes, red glasses and short green hair.

"I think it's too dangerous for a child," said Barbara.

Barbara was in a blue handkerchief, a yellow shirt, A light and dark blue skirt, red and yellow socks, green is sandals, dark eyes and a green ponytail.

"We may prove it's safe!" said Calvin.

Calvin was in all yellow-brown with a special hat with blue eyes.

"How?" asked Simon.

Simon was in blue, everywhere, except with yellow pants and green shoes.

"Ramsey! Owen! Julius! Chloe!" said Calvin.

All four people entered. They were in Fall wear, except for Owen and Julius.

Owen was in a brown jacket with a blue shirt, green pants, brown shoes, short red hair and green-blue eyes.

Julius was in yellow, purple and red jacket, red pants, white and yellow shoes, heart earrings, purple hair with yellow highlights and red eyes.

"I've spent so much of my time in the mines, I may assure you they're safe," said Ramsey.

"I thought you were retired!" said Simon in surprise.

"Well, retirement is boring," said Ramsey. "So, I'm mining, again!"

"It's good exercise!" said Owen. "Look at my muscles!"

Owen flexed.

"And there's pretty gems to find!" said Julius.

"And-" but Chloe was cut off.

"Never mind!" said Barbara. "I won't let my grandson to be in such a place.

"But Grandma!" Heath tried to argue.

Only no one would listen to him.

And before he was born, his parents had to fall in love and marry.

This is that story.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was Fall, once more and Calvin was in the mines. Pheobe walked in.

She got out a special hammer.

"Hey, Pheobe!" Calvin said. "Whatcha have over there?"

Pheobe grinned. "An automatic hammer!" said Pheobe. "There"s other hammers like it, but this one is faster!"

"May I try it?" Calvin asked.

"Sure!" said Pheobe.

Calvin went over to a rock and placed the hammer near it.

"Push the button!" said Pheobe.

Calvin pushed the button.

The machine turned on! It broke the rock!

"Amazing!" said Calvin.

Then more people walked over. Owen, Ramsey, Julius and Chloe.

"Hi, Calvin! Pheobe!" said Owen.

"Nice to see you!" said Ramsey.

"We've been here for a while," said Julius.L

"Why ARE you here?" asked Chloe.

"I'm finding gems like always!" said Calvin.

"And I'm here to show Calvin my invention!" said Pheobe.

Calvin blushed. "Only for me?"

"For you!" Pheobe said, blushing, herself.

"I wanna try it out!" said Chloe.

Each had a turn. Soon, their rucksacks were full of gems.

Soon, the day went into dusk.

"I should return to the inn," said Calvin.

"We should all return, too!" said Julius.

"And I should return to my parents' general store," said Pheobe.

So, they all went home. But Pheobe and Calvin should return.

Soon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next day, it was raining. Calvin was walking to the mines.

Then the rain pelted his hat off! And into the lake!

"It's ruined!" he said to himself. "Well, I guess I should see to the mines, anyhow."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Pheobe saw Calvin without his hat.

"What happened?" Pheobe asked.

Calvin explained.

Then Pheobe got an idea!

"I think I may help," Pheobe said. "Should I continue with mining for the day, or should I help in another way?"

"Stay please," said Calvin.

So, they mined together, once more.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was the next day and Calvin wanted to see Pheobe. So, he went to the general store.

Barbara was at the counter.

"You're the guy that my daughter likes!" she said aloud.

"She LIKES me?!" Calvin asked in surprise.

"It's because of you she's spending less time here! And isn't it dangerous?"

"Not at all. Um," Calvin stammered. "Your name is!-"

"Barbara!" said the lady. "And I don't like you, much,"

Then Calvin got an idea, also.

"What if I work here for you? Today?" Calvin asked. "So I may prove myself to you?"

"If you accomplish some tasks, you may date my daughter," said Barbara.

Calvin didn't have to think. "Deal!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Pheobe didn't see Calvin for almost a whole day. And she had something to show him.

So, she tried the general store. She figured he may be looking for her.

Calvin was at the front desk. Pheobe's father, Simon was directing him.

"You've accomplished such a good job, Calvin!" Simon said.

"Why are you working here?" Pheobe asked Calvin.

Simon explained.

"Calvin doesn't have to prove himself to me!" Pheobe said.

"He must to me!" said Barbara as she walked into the room.

"Mom, I'm going to mine for the rest of my life! It's not about Calvin at all!" said Pheobe. "Plus I'll always be an inventor! In fact, here's something to created for Calvin!"

Pheobe showed Calvin a strange object.

"It's a hat sewing machine! It's faster than other hat creating machines!" Pheobe said.

"I'll enjoy it!" said Calvin.

"But what about the store?" Barbara asked.

Calvin and Pheobe glanced at one another.

"We'll help part-time!" said Calvin. "One thing, Pheobe!"

Pheobe braced herself. "Yes?"

"Will you marry me?" asked Calvin.

"YES!" said Pheobe.

Then, they were married!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was Fall, and Heath was unsure of what to say.

"I want to accomplish both!" said Heath.

"I shouldn't allow it!" said Barbara.

Then Chloe finally spoke. "I explore the mines all the time! It's safe."

Barbara thought. "Well. Heath may explore, also, than. But he must always be with an adult!"

"Ye-ah!" said Heath, overjoyed!

So, Heath trained himself for spending time at the store and in the mines!

Chapter Text

It was Winter and it was snowing. Luke, one of the local carpenters, was chopping trees in The Fugue Forest. It wasn't only for the customers, it was also for his family. He was gathering wood for a fire.

Then his daughter, Lucy, joined him.

She was only chopping logs and stumps. Her father did the other tasks.

'"Why can't I chop trees, as well?" Lucy asked.

She was in a white undershirt, dark skin purple shirt, shoes in three shades of purple, a white bandana with purple flowers, purple hair, purple eyes and golden earrings.

Her father smiled. "You're allowed when you're older."

Luke was in his Winter clothes, a red undershirt and black and green jacket, brown shoes, a blue and white bandana, blue hair, brown gloves yellow eyes and blue jeans,.

Then, Selena, Lucy's mother, went over.

"How's my daughter and my husband?" Selena asked.

Selena was in also in her Winter clothes, also dark skin, a green blue and black dress, black shoes, a frilly black necklace, in a golden ponytail thread purple eyes and long red hair.

Sue, Lucy's grandmother, Samson, Lucy's grandfather, and Dale, Lucy's other grandfather and Bo, Luke's friend arrived, as well.

"Hello, my young granddaughter!'" said Sue.

"Yeah, hello!" said Samson.

"Are you in training to be a carpenter, still?" Dale asked.

"Yeah!" Lucy said.

"Awesome!" said, Bo elated.

"And are you still thinking of running Toucan Inn when you're older?" asked Sue.

"I thought we were letting her to dance," Samson whispered.

"We are," Sue whispered "In fact, I should like that Selena and Lucy should dance for us right now!"

"Yeah!" said Lucy, once more.

"I still don't like it, much," Samson said.

Another lady was in the shadows of the trees, brooding, The Witch. She was in a black shirt and black hat, brown poofy shorts, brown nylons, black heels, long silver hair and orange eyes.

But before Lucy was considered for carpentry, inn-training, and dancing, Lucy's parents had to marry.

This is that story!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was Winter, not long ago. Selena arrived on Waffle Island. It was especially chilly for her, since she grew up on the tropical Island, Toucan Island. It was her first time on Waffle Island, so she decided to explore.

"My parents are such jerks!" said she as she remembered what happened before she left.

And a lot was leftover.

She wandered into Fugue Forest. She had heard that a witch lived in the forest and that two lumberjacks often cut down trees for wood there.

Selena heard somebody yell, "Timber!"

She saw from a distance two lumberjacks were the ones responsible.

"Please remove the stump, Luke!" said Bo, a lumberjack. "I'm not strong enough, yet!"

"Okay, Bo!" said the other, Luke. "You'll get stronger with practice."

"Well, that's our quota, today," said Bo. "We'll leave to home."

All at once, a woman appeared from the trees.

"Stop cutting down trees in my woods!" said she.

"You mean your 'neck of the woods'?" Luke grinned.

"BANISHMENT!" said woman as she pointed at them.

The two men raced out of the forest, quickly.

Then, the woman also saw Selena.

"THE SAME IS FOR YOU!" she said.

Selena went away, as well.

Then, all three were outside of the forest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Selena bumped into Luke once they were out. Luke caught her.

Selena looked into his eyes and Luke looked into hers. He let her down.

They both blushed.

"What were you trying to accomplish in the woods?" Luke asked. "It is dangerous in there!"

"Why were you two in there, if it's dangerous?" Selena asked.

"We need wood!" said Bo. "It's our job!"

Selena laughed. "Ha! Wood. Ha!"

Bo went red in the face, although this was from embarrassment, rather than attraction.

Luke frowned. "Chopping trees is serious business! What do you do for a living?"

Selena twirled around. "I dance for a living!"

Bo laughed.

"It's not funny!" said Selena.

"I think it's awesome!" Luke fist bumped the air.

"If you like it, we may dance together!" Selena said.

Then, they started to dance! It was a quick dance.

Selena grinned. "I was hoping somebody liked my dancing! I'm from Toucan Island, and my clothes are for dancing and warm climate! It's a bit cold, here, though!"

Luke stared at her. Bo nudged Luke.

"Time to leave!" said Bo.

"Oh!" Luke said as he realized. "I guess we will return to my father's carpentry business!"

"Bye!" Selena waved.

"Goodbye!" said Luke, also waving.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bo and Luke arrived at the carpentry. Dale, Luke's father was there.

"Where were you both all that time?" Dale asked.

Luke had a dreamy look in his eye.

Bo snapped a finger.

"Oh, Bo!" said Luke. "You're still here."

"What is up with him?" Dale pointed with his thumb.

"He's in love, or something else," Bo said.

It was Luke's turn to be embarrassed. "It's not like that, at all!"

"'Bout time you found someone!" Dale said with glee. "What is her name?"

"Selena!" said Luke, dreamingly.

Dale frowned. "That woman is in trouble for not accepting her family's business. She's supposed to be running the Toucan Inn. Instead, she wishes to be a dancer."

Luke matched his frown. "She is a wonderful dancer! And she should follow her dreams!"

"Well. It's none of our business," said Dale. "But, as long as you, Luke, help around the carpentry and do not disrespect your own duties, I don't mind."

A metaphorical light switch went from Luke. "It's decided! I'll help Selena with her family!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Luke arrived at Toucan Island. And a ways away, saw Selena.

"Why are YOU here?!" they asked each other.

"I'm here to help reunite you with your parents!" said Luke.

"Me, as well," said Selena. "Only, I expect them to return to their senses."

"Then I'll agree with you," said Luke.

Together, they went inside the inn.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Pineapple Inn on Toucan Island was

A woman, Sue, and Selena's mother, was at the counter. She was surprised!

"Selena?!" Sue asked.

A man, Samson, and Selena's father approached.

"You're here to apologize?" Samson asked.

"No!" said Selena. "I'm here to allow YOU to apologize!"

"Selena we don't care if you want to dance," said Samson. "We want you to run the inn, as well."

"I want to DANCE!" said Selena. "I'm leaving! Again!"

"But Selena!" said Sue.

"Listen," said Selena. "How about I work at the inn if my dancing career fails?"

The parents looked at each other.

"I suppose," said Sue.

"Okay," said Samson. "Only, your mother and I wanted to go on a vacation to another island, soon. We need somebody to watch over the inn until we've returned."

"Mr. Samson. Mrs. Sue. How about I run the inn, instead?" Luke asked.

"You'd carry out my job for me?" Selena asked.

"Yeah!" said Luke. "I'll totally help!"

Selena grinned. "I appreciate that!"

Selena was about to weave. "Follow me home?" she asked Luke.

"There's something I want to ask Luke in private, Selena," said Sue.

Sue, Samson and Selena went to another room.

"I'm worried that our daughter is no longer on a tropical island," said Sue. "There's Winter on Waffle Island! And she only wears Sumner clothing!"

Luke had another idea!

"You grow Pineapples and Bananas on Toucan Island, right?" Luke asked.

"Yeess?" asked Samson.

"Well, their bark is especially for sewing clothes!" said Luke. "I might be able to chop a few and create clothing with them!"

Samson and Sue were elated!

"Good idea!" said Samson.

"We'd adore that!" said Sue.

Then, Luke left the room.

"What was that about?" Selena asked.

"It's a surprise!" Luke grinned.

Selena was about to leave the island. Luke stopped behind her.

"Luke?" Selena asked.

"I'm won't return to Waffle Island with you," said Luke. "It's about the surprise."

"Okay," said Selena as she shrugged. She whispered. "I'll accomplish a surprise, as well."

Then, Selena left for Waffle Island.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Selena went all the way to the carpentry and got an axe. Then, she traveled to Fogue Forest, once more.

"Since Luke helped me with my job, I'll help him with his!" Selena said to herself.

She decided to cut a tree.

Then, out of nowhere, The Witch appeared!

"THIS IS MY FOREST!" she said.

Selena was surprised!

"I know you are from Toucan Island! I'll send you there and hide you in a grove of banana trees!" said The Witch.

Selena went flying threw the air, on a boat and onto the island! She was trapped in a grove of trees.

"GOOD RIDDANCE!" said The Witch with a wicked grin.

Then, Selena was trapped with no escape! She stood there, awaiting rescue.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Luke spent the day at the inn, but no one arrived. It appeared that nobody should check in because the island was out of the ways.

"We will have more customers soon," said Sue. "It's Winter on Waffle Island, which means guests should soon visit since we're a tropical island."

Samson entered the room. "It's night. You're off duty."

"I'll get the materials to sew Selena a dress!" said Luke.

Then, Luke left.

To cut down banana trees.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Luke found some trees he liked. He was about to cut it, when he heard a voice.

"Help me!" Selena called.

"Selena?!" Luke asked in surprise.

"I'm behind the trees!" Selena said.

Luke cut a tree in such a way, it shouldn't hit either him, nor Selena.

Selena went from the trees! She hugged Luke.

"Oh, Luke!" Selena said.

"How'd that happen?" Luke asked.

Selena explained everything.

"We need to return to Fogue Forest! The Witch will not allow you to chop trees, at this rate!" Selena said in warning.

"I wish I should disagree, but you're right," said Luke. "And I want to tell her to apologize to you!"

"Let's leave!" said Selena.

They were about to leave, but Luke stopped to pick up some bark.

"Another surprise?" asked Selena.

"Yeah!" said Luke.

Then, they left for the forest on Waffle Island.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They knocked on the door to The Witch's Hut.

"GO AWAY!" a voice said.

"Witch!" Luke said. "We have something to tell you!"

A latch was heard and The Witch appeared from the door.

"I'm listening," she said.

"We're angry that you harmed Selena!" said Luke.

The Witch scoffed. "I only banished her to her Island."

"Because I tried to cut a tree!" said Selena.

"In my forest!" said The Witch.

"Please, Miss Witch!" said Selena. "I don't need wood, but it's Luke's livelihood!"

The Witch thought. "Okay. But only for his job!"

Luke fist bumped the air! "I appreciate the help, Selena!"

Then, they each went to their separate homes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

One day, Selena went to the forest on Waffle Island, which was where Luke was.

"Luke!" she said as she saw him. "I wanted to ask you something!"

"Me, as well!" said Luke, as he showed her a dress.

"This is for you, Selena!" he said as he presented it to her.

"It's what I needed!" said Selena. "This'll keep me warm! You bought this at Sonata Tailoring?"

"Nope!" said Luke. "I sewed it, myself! I wanted it to be special!"

Selena smiled. "I'm unsure of what to say."

"Say you'll marry me?" asked Luke.

"That's what I wanted to ask!" said Selena. "I'll marry you!"

Then, The Witch appeared to them. "Are we friends, now?"

Selena and Luke stared at her.

"Um, yes?" Luke asked, awkwardly.

"Good!" said The Witch. "Because I've always wanted to attend a wedding. And witches and wizards only attend weddings during the night. I've always been busy."

Luke and Selena looked at each other.

"Sure!" said Selena.

Then, they were married!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Everyone gathered around Lucy.

"Mom. Dad. My grandparents. Miss Witch," she said. "I want to dance! And cut trees! And work at the inn! May I accomplish all of them?"

Everybody exchanged glances.

"Yes!" said everybody.

Lucy danced with glee!

Then, Lucy went in training for all three jobs!
