Harvest Moon: Whee of Tranquilitscree - Gladion vs. Luke (And Every Other Guy In Existence): Part 1
It was a regular day in Fireball Ranch, which was truly a paradoxically wonderful and brilliant name. Pika was asleep and drooling onto Ore, one of her chickens, who didn't seem very pleased. Meanwhile, Luke was walking by and noticed Pika passed out in the place where her animals grazed, so he creeped over with a present box. He lifted Pika up a bit and put the present under her head, much to Ore's relief. Breathing a sigh of relief himself, he stood up and turned around, ending up nose-to-nose with a rather angry Gladion. That sigh of relief felt like it rushed back down his throat. "Mind explaining this?" Gladion asked, pointing at the present box. He had quite a crush on the ignorant Pika and didn't like other guys giving her presents. Luke narrowed his eyes. "What, I can't give presents to friends anymore?" He, too, had a crush on Pika. "Look, buddy, I don't want any boys giving their little presents to Pika. Now take your, I dunno what, diamond ring elsewhere." Luke had the urge to put his axe in Gladion's side, he was so angry, but decided not to. Glaring, he turned to pick up the present box, but Pika had waken up at some point, had opened it, and had eaten the cake inside. Now she was smiling at them with the stem of a tulip in her mouth that she wasn't eating and had no idea what was going on. She wanted to huggle both of them because she was so happy but she didn't want to stand up. They glared at each other once more as Pika tried very hard to lift herself up onto her ostrich, Defiant. But when she ended up being dragged around by Defiant for little reason while hanging onto her tail feathers and waving casually at people who happened to be walking by and looked quite weirded out. However, when Defiant screeched to a halt, Pika flew into the water and screamed when she got her head above water. Gladion and Luke both dashed toward the water, as Pika couldn't swim and was having quite a bit of trouble. But before they could reach her, her head sunk below the water. Of course, they leapt in, hoping to rescue her. However, she was rather far downstream and out of vision range of the two guys. Meanwhile, Toby was randomly fishing near the waterfall, and his hook caught something. He reeled it in, and he was quite startled when he saw Pika dangling by her tuxedo collar from his line. She waved casually, as if nearly drowning and getting caught like a fish was a regular thing. He would've asked what was going on, but Gladion came storming by, sopping wet, and snatched his fishing rod out of his hands. Toby's retaliation was to grab a pair of scissors and cut the line. Pika fell back into the water as Toby grinned smugly at the aghast Gladion. But then he realized he had just let Pika drop into the water and nearly had a heart attack. Pika, too, panicked. But then she was pulled above water by Luke, who had been swimming the entire time. Gladion glared more than he ever had. Once Luke dragged Pika ashore, he smugly grinned at Gladion like Toby had. So then they got into a massive three-way argument about who Pika belonged to. Pika, however, had water in her ears and was dizzy so she yanked Luke to the ground when she had tugged fiercely on the rucksack he apparently posessed. Then she dug through it and started eating the food she didn't dislike. "I bet she doesn't dig through your rucksack and eat all your spinach." Luke said smugly. That's when he realized that Pika was eating all of his spinach and pulled her out of the rucksack she was halfway in somehow. Gladion rolled his eyes. Pika stood up, brushed herself off, and asked ever so casually "How's up?" While 'how's up' isn't a common phrase or one that seemed to exist before the moment Pika uttered it and made its listeners think of Hau, Gladion huggled her very randomly while glaring at Toby and Luke, who were considering forming some sort of alliance. Gladion walked away while staring at them the entire time in a 'don't pull any tricks' fashion.

Prologue
A sound was heard, like the sound of thunder. Wind was raging. Rain was pouring. But then voices split the air. "Whoa! W-W-Whoa...! Are... are you OK?! No! Don't let go! Just a little longer... come on! Hang on!" "N-N-No! I can't... hold on...!" A loud yell of panic was heard as the storm raged on, lightning flashing in the sky.
