Hello everyone. This is my second fanfic, and I think it'll be a lot better than my last one. Please read and review.


The Mad Doctor

Chapter 1

Proposal

I sat on my bed, twisting the blue feather around in my hand. What if Elli doesn't have feelings for me? She spends so much time with Doctor, what if she has feelings for him? Yesterday, when I bought the blue feather from the Supermarket, I was so sure that we were going to spend our life together. Now, reality has hit.

I lay down and placed the blue feather on my chest. I shut my eyes and pictured Elli's face in my mind. She's the most beautiful, most friendly, most amazing girl in the whole town. What if she said no? I don't have feelings for any of the other girls in town. Karen is too tough, Ann doesn't want a boyfriend, Mary is too shy to talk to me and Popuri…I don't get along too well with her. She's too…hyperactive.

Maybe I shouldn't bother. She'll probably say no. No! Don't think like that, Jack! Be positive! Be positive…be positive…

I walked to the Clinic and opened the door.

"Hi Jack. How can I help you?" Elli asked.

"Um, well, I wanted to ask you something," I said, lowering myself to one knee and pulling the blue feather from my pocket. I took a deep breath. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh Jack, I'm so sorry. Doctor already proposed, and I accepted. I just don't have feelings for you like I do for him."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

My eyes snapped awake. I found myself lying on my bed, drenched in swear. Phew! It was just a dream.

I walked over to my clock and checked the time. Goddess! It's 3:50! The clinic closes in 10 minutes! I ran to my mirror, brushed my hair and changed into a pair of fresh overalls, the ones I was currently wearing was wet. I pushed the blue feather into my rucksack and raced out the door and up the path.

I got to the Clinic just as Elli was locking the door.

"Elli! Elli!" I called.

"Jack! What's wrong? Do you need anything? Jack?"

"I'm…fine…Elli…" I panted, feeling kind of like an idiot.

"Jack?"

I took a few deep breaths and stopped myself from panting.

"Jack?" Elli asked again.

"I was wondering if, ummmmm, you wanted for a walk with me. We could go to the beach. I hear the sunset looks beautiful on the ocean."

Elli blushed. "Sure, Jack."

We walked silently to the beach. I was shaking too much to say anything. I chanced a few glances at Elli, and she was blushing, seemingly caught in a daydream.

We walked to the water's edge and watched the waves roll in and out. Well, I had certainly chosen a romantic area. Now, I just had to get my courage up and ask her.

Then the nerves came back. What if she said no? What am I to do? Luckily, Elli broke the silence first.

"You're right, Jack. It sure is beautiful," she said dreamily.

"Yeah," I sighed. "Hey, Elli, there is actually a reason I brought you down here."

"There is?" she asked, blushing again.

I reached into my rucksack and felt the blue feather. I ran my fingers over it, deciding what to say. My hands were shaking, I didn't know if I could speak. I looked up at Elli, and her beautiful brown eyes gazed down at me, confused but adorable. All my nerves left right at that moment. I knew I could do it. I pulled the blue feather out of my rucksack and heard Elli gasp.

"Elli, you are the most amazing girl on earth, and I want to be with you forever," I said. "Marry me, Elli."

"Oh, Jack! I was always hoping you'd ask! I want to be with you forever! Yes! Yes I'll marry you, Jack."

I'd never been so happy in my life! I felt I could fly! Elli gave me a kiss and went home, and I skipped joyfully back to my farm. I saw myself in the mirror. I'd never had such a big smile, nor had I blushed so much. I jumped on my bed and sang, even though I'm not the best singer. No one in the entire world could be happier than me!

***

A week later, I waited in my tuxedo for my beautiful bride. Mineral Town weddings are great; they only take a week to organise. The doors open, and there she was, looking more beautiful than ever. She wore a white silk gown with a blue dress underneath. The white gown opened at the front, revealing the blue, and she had a bow in her hair as well as a veil. She carried a bunch of blue and white flowers. She walked gently up the isle and met me at the top, while Carter began his speech.

"I never imagined you in a tux," she whispered.

"You know what, neither did I," I whispered. "You look beautiful, by the way."

She blushed. "You don't look too bad yourself."

"Do you, Jack the Farmer, take Elli to be your wife?" asked Carter.

"I do," I said.

"Do you, Elli the Nurse, take Jack to be your husband?"

My heart skipped a beat when she said "I do."

"You may now kiss the bride!"

We kissed and, hand in hand, walked back out the door. Elli tossed her flowers into the air, and Popuri caught them, squealing hyperactively. We walked together back to my farm.

"We'll always be together," I said.

"Yes," said Elli. "We will."

We sat at my table together, gazing into each others eyes.

"May I still work at the Clinic, Jack?" Elli asked.

"Of course," I answered.

Elli smiled. "As long as I work at the Clinic, you get everything free."

"I love you Elli," I said. "I always have, and I always will."

Elli leant over and kissed me. "I love you too, and I have for a long time. Nothing could make me happier than spending my life with you."

Jack grinned. "As long as I have you, nothing can go wrong."

It's amazing how wrong a man can be.
