Learning the ropes
Chelsea's p.o.v.
In the morning I awoke quickly which is an accomplishment since these pills knock me out good, but if I didn't take them I wouldn't rest or if I did sleep the nightmares would hit, so until I run out I can sleep. I then proceeded to get ready for the day so that by the time Taro showed up I was just finishing up a little breakfast thankful I'd brought food in my rucksack.
When I opened the door I tried not to grin as he waved his cane at me half grinning half annoyed.
"Now listen here missy, while I'm impressed you got so much done yesterday, you need to learn to pace yourself so you don't pass out. " he said as I followed him to my nice mostly clean field.
After that we got to work, Taro taught me about tilling and planting and watering and before you knew it I had quiet a bit planted and watered. Taro then told me to get my fishing pole and meat up with Lanna and Denny so they could teach me how to use it. So I went in the house after he left to clean some of the dirt off and rinse my contacts before grabbing my pole and heading down to the beach, I began to look around for the couple, from what I remembered the guy had a bandana so I was hoping he'd be easy to spot. She looked a bit and then spotted him with the perky blond she remembered as being Lanna They waved to her as she walked up.
" Hey Chelsea, Taro told us you would be by to get some pointers on fishing.", he said with a grin as he handed out a tanned hand to shake.
I shook back as I took in his appearance quickly so I could get his name memorized faster.. He was tan all over with chocolate brown eyes and curly brown hair peaking out from under hi bandana, and he had a cute little parrot on his shoulder. I then looked over at Lanna who was blond like Julia accept she was more of a lighter blond, and she seemed a little overdressed for the beach in a lovely long green dress.
She shook my hand as well as they set to teaching me about casting and reeling and about all the different fish on the island and when and where you could catch them. It seemed like a lot of information to absorb at first but thankfully I catch on quick and was able to pull in quite a few myself, which I was glad for cause that meant I could eat some later or put some in the shipping bin and get a little income started for today.
After a while I said my good byes and headed for the forest where I met up with Lily who showed me the ropes in the mines, Although I really didn't like being in or near the mines I still learned a lot and I could see me and Lily would be fast friends.
Lily was also very blond, and Like the other girls on the island very in love with her boyfriend Will, which I realized because she would complain about him often as they would argue over flowers and jewels. I headed back through town and waved hello to Julia and her mom as I headed back to my ranch, and remembering to pick up herbs or fruit or what not as I passed through .When I got back home I placed the fish, I got with Denny and Lanna, ores I got with Lily, and the herbs and other stuff I found in my shipping box, glad to get the day over and things shipped even though it was barely five o clock.
I went into my home and washed up and then fished my laptop/tablet out of my drawer and checked for emails, thankfully it was just junk mail. I decided to head over to Julia's because it was a little lonely on the farm all by myself, so I headed over to the animal shop. When I entered Julia was standing over poor Elliot who was lost looking as he pecked at the keyboard of the computer in the room.
"Hey guys what's up?", I said.
"Oh I working on the ad to send out to the companies to try to get a newAnimal trader coming through, after all with a new rancher we need animals for the ranch, and as I was about to send it my computer screwed up and poor Elliot has been trying to fix it so I can finish it but we can't figure out what's wrong with it." she said sounding very tired and stressed.
"Well maybe I can look at it, that is if you guys don' t mind.", I said as a walked over.
"Give it a shot Chelsea, I think its gone.", He said as Julia began to cry. I began to start typing and trying to check what was wrong when I realized she had a nasty virus.
"Well Julia you have a nasty computer virus, what do you do on here play Farmville all day?" I said as I began to type some more, I didn't even notice Mirabella enter the room as I got caught up going through things trying to catch the virus attacking the computer.
I'd forgotten what a pain these things were to locate. So I pulled up the antivirus program that had been foolishly disabled to allow the games in that brought the virus. After what was another hour I had cleared the virus, the games and managed to recover and back up Julia's ad as well as the computers important files.
"Chelsea you're a lifesaver you found my file, but what did you do, you typed so fast I didn't see what you did.", she said as she hugged me and it took everything in me not to jump again.
"I used to do computer programming,", I said as I gave Julia back the seat by the computer.
"Chelsea thanks so much for fixing our computer, how about you join us for dinner since its late.", Julia's mom asked.
"Thanks that would be great" I said as I stayed and hung out for a while later as we had supper and even Julia's boyfriend Elliot joined us. He began to go on and on about how great it was I was able to fix the problem and before long it was time for me to return home.
I returned to my Ranch and gazed out at the stars and wondered a split second beforeI thought back to my best friend wondering if he's staring at the same sky as me somewhere. I missed him more than anything. Did he miss me?
