Sorry for the delay... I was pretty far behind at work.
But don't worry, for behold... I present the final chapter! How dirty can I go without actually using any dirty words? Only the mods can tell... ;D

Two weeks later...
Jack yawned deeply and stretched out his aching back, surveying the field with satisfaction. Rows of Turnips and Potatoes lined the field in perfectly symetrical lines, all mere days away from harvest. This would be a good one... he could finally afford to build the extension to the barn that he had been wanting, and if he was lucky he might be able to add on to his humble home as well...
Jack lifted his bonnet and wiped away a layer of sweat. The hat did a fine job of blocking out the sun, but it had the annoying habit of falling off his head during his work.
And it was a girl’s hat...
Won had insisted that Jack keep up the lie for at least a month or two. Jack had protested of course, but it was hard to deny that the villagers quickly went from viewing him as a devious pervert to a lonely, confused boy/girl after Won had hatched his “foolproof plan”.
Jack agreed to go along with the story... but not without considerable protest.
He had to endure the humiliation of recieving makeup tips from Karen, and was even forced to wear a sundress during his time working in the fields. It was too hot for the weather and he kept tripping over the hem.
He looked absolutely rediculous wearing it and on more than one occasion he wondered if prison might have been preferable to the humiliation he felt every day. The dress was white and dotted with sunflowers, and was as about as feminine as was humanely possible.
He truly, TRULY hated that dress... although he had to admit that it DID compliment the slimness of his waist...
“What am I thinking?!?” Jack said aloud, shaking his head in horror.
The sudden movement knocked his hat loose for the umpteenth time and it began to blow away in the wind. Jack swore and chased after it, but Kero was one step ahead of him.
“Wooof!” Kero barked, and snapped the hat up in his jaws.
“No! Put that down, Kero! Bad dog!” Jack shouted, chasing after the animal.
Kero’s tail wagged happily as he easily ran away from his encumbered master.
Jack raced after Kero furiously, and once again his feet caught the hem of the dress. Jack came crashing down to the ground and as he lay in the dirt the realization that he would once again have to wash his dress hit him, and Jack began to cry.
Softly at first, and then quite loud.
“Waaaaahhhhh!” Jack sobbed, pounding the ground with his fists.
“Jack?” Ann said, softly.
Jack pulled himself up to his knees and turned around to see Ann standing before him. Her eyebrows were raised and she had a look of deep concern on her face. Jack sniffed and wiped away his tears.
“Ohhhh... Jack what’s wrong?” Ann asked, helping him to his feet. Jack turned his head away and continued to cry.
“My... my hat keeps falling off, and Kero ran away with it... and I can’t catch him because I keep tripping over my dress..... and I’m going to have to wash it AGAIN!”
Jack sobbed as Ann hugged him close.
“It’s okay, Jack... I can clean it for y-”
“It’s not okay, Ann!” Jack said, tearfully.
Suddenly he saw a way out of this horrible mess...
“I... I thought this was what I wanted... but it’s all wrong! I... I want to be a boy again! I don’t wanna wear a dress anymore!”
Ann heaved a deep sigh of relief.
“Oh thank god, Jack!" she said, wiping away a bead of sweat.
"I was serious when I said that I would stand by you no matter what, but... I want my good old, manly Jack back! I have to be perfectly honest with you...” she said, putting her hands on her hips. “It really feels weird kissing you with that dress on.”
“So I can change, then?” Jack said hopefully, his face lighting light up with joy. “I can go back to wearing my overa-”
“Wellll...” Ann said, scratching the back of her neck nervously.
“Well what? Jack said, startled. “I thought y-”
“Oh, I DO want you to go back!” Ann said hastily. “It’s just... everybody is looking forward to the goddess festival next week...”
Jack’s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
“Th- the goddess festival?” he squeeked. “You mean...”
Ann sighed.
“I’m afraid so. The mayor even told me that he’s going to let you wear his wife’s old goddess gown, and you really don’t want to dissapoint him. He... he sort of....”
She looked down to the ground in imbarrassment, and mumbled the last words too low for Jack to hear.
“He sort of ‘what’?” Jack asked, and put his hands on Ann’s shoulders. “Please, what were you g-”
“He thinks of you as the daughter he never had!” Ann said, closing her eyes so she didn’t have to see Jack’s reaction. It was a wise decision on her behalf, as Jack’s face turned a shade of white much paler than the fabric of his sun dress.
“It’s just for one more week!” Ann insisted, kissing him. “Then I promise I’ll figure out a way to at least let you wear your normal clothes from now on!”
“Promise?” Jack asked, once again approaching tears. Ann didn’t reply. She simply kissed him again.
“Jack my dear!" Carter called out, wheeling his way towards the farm. Ann and Jack turned in suprise
"How are you today? And you, miss Ann?” Carter continued with a wide grin.
“Father Carter!” Ann smiled, waving. “How are your legs?”
“Errr... still broken, unfortunately.” Carter grinned, ruefully. “But the lord works in mysterious ways, and I’ve finally learned my lesson. Never again will I steal from the poor box to feed my gambling addiction!”
“Good for you!” Ann beamed, as Jack shook his head in disgust. Carter waved goodbye and then wheeled himself back in the direction of the church.
“Have a good day!” he called back. “I’ll be looking forward to seeing you at the goddess festival Ann. And especially you, Jack!!!”
“Goodbye, father!” Ann shouted cheerfully as Jack’s shoulders sunk in shame.
“He’s on the right path.” Ann said, nodding her head in approval. Jack raised an eyebrow at her optomism.
“I’m just about done in the field, Ann.” Jack said suddenly, desperate to change the subject. “How about I change out of this dress and make us some dinn-”
“Jackkkk!” Rick shouted from the distance, running towards the farm. Jack sighed in annoyance. He really didn’t want to talk to him...
"Happy goddess day!!!" Rick shouted, his face full of mischief. Jack looked at him with weary suspicion.
"It's not for another week, Rick..." Jack started, but Rick merely grinned even wider.
"I know!" Rick replied. "But I have a special gift for you! Behold!!!"
And with that, Rick reached into his pockets and removed...
"Where did you get that?!?" Jack screamed in rage, pulling the pink unmentionables from Rick's hands. Rick merely grinned in return.
"I knew you would like them...
"Give those back to Popuri, you sicko!!!" Jack roared, hiding the private garments behind his back.
"Huh?" Rick said, confused. "I thought you would like the-"
"How could you?!?" Ann cried sticking her fists in Rick's face.
Rick put his hands up in defence.
"Wha?" he said, confused. "I was just giving Jack a gift for the Harvest Godddess Festival! I figured he didn't have a pair of panties of his own so I-"
"So you took them from Popuri... your own sister!!!" Jack yelled, swing wildly at him.
Rick stumbled backwards and fell to the ground, holding his hands up in fear.
"I swear, I was just trying to help!" he cried, as he cringed before the vengeful Ann and Jack.
Just then, a dark figure dropped from the roof of Jack's house and landed behind Rick. Before anyone could react, the mysterious stranger grabbed the panties from Rick's hands.
"Yoink!' Kai yelled, and ran into the distance.
"Come back here, you bastard! She's mine!!!" Rick cried.
Ann and Jack looked to each other with raised eyebrows as Rick realized his critical mistake.
"Umm...Uhhh... MEIN. Mein... Schwester? Yeah! Mein Schwester! I'm... uhh... studying german in sch-" he began, and quickly realized that no one was going to believe him.
"Get back here with those panties, Kai!!!" Rick howled, running after him.
Jack watched in disgust/amusement as Rick finally dissapeared from sight. He breathed a deep sigh of relief, turning to Ann.
"Okayyy.." he began. "NOW, let's go inside an-"
"Jackkkk!" Cliff shouted from the distance, clad in a stunning red evening gown.
Jack and Ann were completely speachless as Cliff ran to their side. Clearly this poor young boy had surpassed all previous standards of suprise...
"Y- You've inspired me!!!" Cliff shouted, panting from the exertion of running from the vineyards to the farm.
"Huh?" Jack said, startled. "What do you mean, 'I inspi-"
"I followed your example!" Cliff shouted in triumph, interrupting Jack. "Thanks to you I finally realized that I need to stop living my awful lie and admit that I've always wanted to be a girl!"
Jack, and especially Ann's jaws dropped in amazement.
"Th- that's great, Cliff..." Jack started, his words coming out with great difficulty.
Cliff's face beamed with joy.
"You have no idea how alive I feel!" Cliff shouted, twirling in a circle with disturbing grace. "For the first time in my life I feel unashamed! The dear lord knows that my sins have been committed in vain... I've simply been longing to live out my new life as a darling young girl!"
"Behold!!!" Cliff yelled, pulling a fan from behind his back and waving it seductively before his face.
"From now on I shall be known as Claire! You're an inspiration to all the confused young men in the world, Jack!" Claire said, smiling demurely.
Jack fought back the urge to vomit.
"Fare thee well, my gentle women!!!" Claire cried as he/she skipped and pranced into the distance.
Ann shook her head in disgust.
"I can't believe I used to like him..." she said, shaking her head.
Jack suddenly lost all patience with the world and swept Ann up into his arms. Her eyes widened in suprise as he carried her to his home.
"Jack!" she cried, blushing. "What are y-"
"I'm a MAN, dammit!" he growled, kicking the front door of his house open with suprising force.
Ann's heart began to race with excitement as she was carried inside. She knew, or hoped, where they were heading...
Before long all questions of Jack's orientation were put to rest.
"Mmmm..." Ann cooed, wrapping her arms around Jack's chest. "I'm so glad to have my good old, manly Jack back!"
Jack grinned with satisfaction as he wrapped his hands behind his head.
"Was there any doubt?" he smiled, kissing her forehead tenderly. Ann grinned back and snuggled close to his kneck.
"None at all." she replied, sighing in contentment. "You don't have to work tomorrow, do you?" she asked, hopefully.
"Nope!" he grinned, holding her tight. "I made sure to leave a few extra days of food with the animals. I just have one little thing to take care of..."
Ann raised an eyebrow and propped herself over him, staring deep into his eyes.
"What's that?" she asked, her lips moistening. Jack blushed in imbarassment.
"Well... it's not what you think. I made a promise to Won to visit him tomorrow..."
"Ohhh.?." Ann pouted. Jack grinned in return.
"Don't worry... I just told him I would visit him before his big court appearance."
Ann started suddenly in realization.
"Oh! That's right... you were both locked up before your big trial, but now you're free and he's still in jail! What did he do, anyway?" she inquired.
"Ohhh, nothing too bad." Jack replied, massaging Ann's shoulders.
"Just practising law without a license..."
