I ran to every shop and house on the island and told everyone to come down to the beach. An hour later everyone was at the beach exept for one person and that was Vaughn. He was off selling animals to other ranchers across the world. And I would have to tell him about it to him when he gets back.

Everyone was talking to each other. Some with confused looks on thier faces aswell. "Excuse me everyone. I need to make an announcement. It's about these islands. As you may know, many years ago, a huge earthquake struck the Sunshine Islands and the Harvest Goddess used alot of her power to hold some islands up, but that power is starting to fade and now she has set me a task to collect these..." I pulled out the sunstone the Harvest Goddess had given me and held it up for everyone to see it. "This is here... is a Sunstone and I can't collect these alone.  I need your help to find them." Everyone started to shake their heads and whisper to each other, then Gannon the villages carpenter shouted out to me. "Do you seriously think we're all idiots Chelsea?!" Everyone was agreeing with him aswell. I had no idea what to say next. I felt so many voices one after the other. "It's all true!" A voice spoke from the back of the crowd and every single villager turned round to see a figure  that started to walk towards the crowd. Everyone made a path for the figure which was the Harvest Goddess. "I have given Chelsea this task and I asked her to make an annoucement to all of you. But Chelsea really needs your help collecting Sunstones otherwise these islands will sink and we'll go down with them." What the Harvest Goddes had said started to make everyone think. "We'll do it!" Shouted Chen the general store owner and the rest of the villagers shouted a "YEAH!" I was so thankful for the Harvest Goddess' help and everyone who was going to help. "thank you for your time everyone!" I shouted and the beach slowly cleared. I turned to face the Harvest Goddess, but she wasn't there anymore.

I put the Sunstone back into my bag and left the beach to do my work. I was proud for what I accepted to do.
