A/N: This story is really a short story, but I broke it down into different sections to outline milestones in Jack's relationship with the Harvest Goddess. So chapters are short on purpose, they are supposed to be cute and sort of humorous. I'm writing this to give me a break from writing my longer piece: Over the Harvest Moon. I'm still working on that, but I wanted to write a cuter type story so here it is! As always, please read and review!

Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

If anyone were to ask me, I would tell them that my life didn't truly begin until that fateful Fall day. I was taking a break alone by the hot springs, contemplating the things that had gone on since I started working on the farm. I was getting better at farming, but my social life was lacking. I had trouble getting any of the girls to be interested in me. It was starting to feel like a very lonely life.

In my hand I was holding a juicy red apple. The tree in my yard had just finally begun to drop apples and I was really excited to try one. I was wiping it on my white t-shirt. It had been on the ground after all; I didn't want to eat any dirt. That isn't the important point here, what I am trying to say is that I cleaned off the apple so well that it became slippery and I accidentally dropped it into the pond.

As I kneeled down to try to get it out of the water, this beautiful creature appeared before me. She was like a woman you could only dream of. Her beautiful green hair was pulled back into two buns on the side of her head, with a longer braid coming down the side. She wore a beautiful green and teal flowing dress that fit her just perfectly. She had the body of a goddess.

"A goddess… you are real!" Those were the first words I ever spoke to her. Carter at the church had always talked about a Harvest Goddess who could grant wishes, but who would believe that kind of crap?

"Thank you for your offering." She smiled and I swear everything lit up around her.

"Offering, oh! Your welcome." I know I was blushing a deep red. I could feel it on my face. This woman had me flustered!

"Would you like me to grant you a wish?"

"A… a wish?" Her beauty had me almost unable to speak.

"Yes. A wish. You can wish for good weather, or for a girl you like to like you back."

I just starred at her for a moment. I wanted her to like me so bad. "I wish for romance."

"Your wish will be granted." She paused for a moment and smiled. "Oh I see. Come and visit me anytime. I will always be here." And with that the beautiful goddess disappeared into thin air.

I don't care what anyone thinks; it was love at first sight.
