Claire sighed and locked her door, walking over to her bed and flopping down on it. Lumina could be such a brat when she wanted to be... She heard about Claire trying to help Vesta catch Skye and for some reason was furious. She went completely off on her, insisting that she "liked Skye first" and Claire couldn't just "butt in out of nowhere and try to steal him away".

Really, Lumina? Really? Last time I checked, you had Rock. Skye drops compliments like that to EVERYONE. It's not just you.

She didn't even like the real Skye! She was probably in love with his egomaniac flirty side. Claire saw more than that- she liked that when she wanted romantic, corny lines, but she mostly liked the Skye who prided himself in making curry and liked simple one-on-one time with her.

The 'flirting with every female creature' thing was just a part of his personality.

Obviously, Lumina was just being a bratty kid...

If she knew this, then why was Claire so angry?

It couldn't be... NO! She was not jealous. Claire did not get jealous, especially over Skye.

When Claire went to meet Skye on the path to Mineral Town, she was appalled to see Lumina standing there already, armed with a steaming bowl of Finest Curry that she'd no doubt made poor Sebastian cook up all by himself. Skye was flirting back, if not acting a little differently than he usually did.

The nerve of that girl.

Claire, embarrassed, started to turn around, but Lumina had heard her footsteps and turned around. She glared venomously. "What are you doing here? Can't you see that I'm trying to talk to-"

"Well, if it isn't my little angel," Skye interrupted, winking at Claire. "Excuse me, beautiful," to Lumina, as he strode over to Claire and hooked an arm around her waist, "but it looks like my girlfriend's arrived." Claire had barely gotten over the fact that Skye had just pulled her so close to him when he bent down and caught her lips with his own, still balancing Lumina's gift in the other hand.

Lumina looked on with a wide-open mouth, not understanding. Her eyes welled up with tears and she stomped her foot. "No!" she said as Skye broke the kiss, and he looked back at her with a tiny smirk.

"No, no, no! This is all wrong! You liked me first!"

"Mm, I don't recall saying that I liked anyone," Skye shrugged. Claire blushed a little, still speechless from Skye's kiss. Lumina pouted and balled her fists. "I-I'm telling my grandma! You'll be caught if it's the last thing I'll do!" She took off running for Romana's villa, knocking the curry out of Skye's hand on her way. He reached out for it and caught it again easily, letting go of Claire so he could taste it.

"Ugh, disgusting," he said, dumping the dish on the ground. "What a waste of fine ingredients." He held his arm out for Claire. "Let's go to the spring, beautiful."

"...Girlfriend?" Claire repeated, staring off into space. Skye winked.

"Well, I'm not taken if you aren't."

"And if I'm taken?" Skye shrugged, still smirking.

"Then I'll just steal you away. Any more questions?"

A/N: Don't get me wrong! I don't hate Lumina! I actually really like her and think she's one of the cutest characters in Harvest Moon. I just got the idea for this sort of fic while I was listening to 'Boyfriend' by Ashlee Simpson, and I needed a girl to claim that Claire has stolen Skye away from them... I figured I could try writing Lumina as a snobby rich girl. Poor Lumina. I'll make it up to her in another fic. ^-^ In case you didn't know, here are the 'Boyfriend' lyrics I used below. Read and Review, please! :D

Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?

Don't put words up in my mouth,

I didn't steal your boyfriend.

Hey, how long till you face what's goin' on,

Cause you really got it wrong,

I didn't steal your boyfriend.
