Hi. This is my first Harvest Moon story. Hope you like it, though I seriously doubt it.
Harvest Moon: The Adventures of John & Jack
Based on the Harvest Moon video game “Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town”
By: JHS
NOTE: I do not own any of the Harvest Moon characters, nor do I own the copyrights of video game “Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.” Anyways, enjoy!
Prologue
“So, are you sure that you can take care of this farm all by yourself?” said a man with a red hat. The man next to him nodded and said, “Positive. I can do it. I have to. It’s like a mission that I have to accomplish, Mayor sir,” the man with the blue cap said. “Well, that’s just too bad Jack because someone will be helping you with your work,” the mayor said. “What? Who is this person?” Jack asked. Before the mayor could respond, he saw someone running towards them. “Ah, here he is,” the mayor said. As soon as the man with the red cap arrived and said, “Sorry I’m late. Had to talk to the residents in Mineral Town.” “I see. Well then. John, this is Jack. And Jack, this is John,” the mayor said. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, John,” Jack said, extending his hand out. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too,” John said and shook Jack’s hand. “Now then. Jack, your house is the one with the blue roof,” the mayor said to Jack, pointing to the house with the blue roof. Jack nodded. “And John, your house is the one with the red roof,” the mayor said to John, pointing to the house with the red roof. John also nodded. “Now then, do you want me to explain anything else to you two?” the mayor asked. John & Jack shook their heads. “Alright, then. Enjoy! Oh and I think it’s best to get some money before you start doing some things, such as upgrading your house or getting married,” the mayor said and left. Soon, a muscular man with brown hair walked into the farm and said, “Hi. My name is Zack and I’ll be collecting the items you put in the shipment bin everyday at 5 PM. Just remember that my days-off are on the day of a festival. I’ll pay you both money when you ship things.” John and Jack nodded. “Now then, what’s the name of this farm, anyways?” Zack asked. John & Jack looked at each other and said to Zack, “It’s called the Xtreme Farm.” “Hmm. What a weird name for a farm. Oh well. Have fun and don’t forget: 5 PM,” Zack said and left. “Well, now what?” John asked. “Well, we start by planting something. C’mon. Let’s get some seeds,” Jack said. “Are you sure about this? We only have 1000 G,” John said. “I know what I’m doing. Now let’s go,” Jack said. John nodded and followed Jack into town.
Chapter 1: Love at First Sight
As soon as they got the seeds (one bag of turnip seeds and one bag of potato seeds), they then went home. As they walked home, John stopped and said, “Do you hear something?” Suddenly, a chicken was running away from a pink haired girl. “Come back here, little one!” she shouted. John dropped the bag of potato seeds and caught the chicken. As soon as the girl caught up with the chicken, John handed the chicken to the girl. “Thank you,” the girl said. “Anytime,” John said. “By the way, who are you?” the girl asked. “Oh! Sorry. My name is John and this is my assistant, Jack. We’re both running the farm down there,” John said, pointing to the Xtreme Farm. “Assistant? Since when have I become an assistant?” Jack asked himself. “I see. My name is Popuri. Do you like chickens, John?” Popuri asked. “Do I? I love chickens! I love scrambled eggs!” John said. Popuri smiled and said, “Really? I like people who love chickens. By the way, would you like to go out with me?” Popuri asked. “Sure. I’d love to take you someplace nice. Would the beach sound nice? I know it’s not the most romantic place for a date, but would you like to go there?” John asked. Popuri blushed and nodded. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’m so happy, I could cry!” John shouted. “What’s all this ruckus?” said a boy coming towards John and Popuri. “Oh, Rick. It was just John. He’s working with his assistant at the Xtreme Farm and wanted to go out with me. That’s all,” Popuri said. “WHAT!? No way! No one’s gonna go out with my sister! You hear me!? No one!” Rick shouted. “But why?” Popuri asked. “Because I said so. That’s why,” Rick said. Suddenly, Popuri threw the chicken she was holding at Rick and ran away, crying. “Wait, Popuri! I’m sorry!” Rick shouted. “Don’t worry, Rick. I’ll find her. You worry about that chicken. I’ll go find her. I think I saw her go near the Harvest Goddess Pond,” John said. “Okay, then. Go and tell her I’m sorry, too,” Rick said. John nodded and left for the Harvest Goddess Pond.
John ran as fast as he could to the Goddess Pond. From there, he saw Popuri crying. Suddenly, she heard John’s footsteps. “Who’s there? Is that you, John? Or is it Rick? I hope it’s not Rick,” Popuri said and began to cry again. “Don’t worry. It’s me, John. I just came here on my own. No one’s with me. Not even Rick. He says that he’s sorry. Let’s go home now,” John said peacefully. “Wait! Can you stay here with me? I like to talk about some things,” Popuri said, who stopped crying. “Okay, then. I’ll stay. What would you like to talk about?” John asked. “Let’s start with you. Where did you come from?” Popuri asked. “Me? I came from the city,” John said. “Okay, then. Next question: why did come here?” Popuri asked. “To find a girlfriend, marry her and start a family,” John said. “Okay, then. Final question: do you...do you love me?” Popuri asked. John gulped, sighed and said, “Yes. I do. I’ll always love you. You can believe that,” John said. Popuri smiled and began to blush bright red. “I love you too, John,” Popuri said, giving John a kiss on the cheek. They then walked back to the Poultry Farm.
As soon as they got back, Rick apologized repeatedly to his sister Popuri, thanked John for bringing Popuri back and said, “You can date my sister anytime you want, John.” John nodded, looked at his watch and said, “Oh my! Look at the time. I got to get going. I’ll see you later.” “Okay, then. See you later, John,” Popuri said. John then left for his farm. As soon as he arrived, he saw Jack working on the fields, planting the seeds on the ground. Jack then spotted John coming. “Hey John. Did you find Popuri?” Jack asked. “I did. She’s now at home, safe and sound,” John said. “Great. It’s getting late. We better get to bed now. Good night,” Jack said. “Good night,” John said and entered his house. He then went to bed and dreamed good things about Popuri.
More will come.
