Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I awoke to someone calling my name.

"ANN! GET DOWN HERE! NOW!!"

Oh good Goddess. Shut up father.

When I continued to ignore him he yelled louder. I finally dragged myself out of bed, taking my sweet time of course, and went downstairs to see what had his panties in a bunch.

"How may I help you?" I asked sarcastically, not too happy about my rude awakening.

"Oh, there you are. Breakfast's ready." He said, smiling and handing me a plate full of cheesy omelet.

"You woke me up for that?!"

"Well...yeah." I groaned. "What?" He asked. "What did I do?"

"The way you were yelling you would have thought that this Inn was burning down." He laughed at that. I rolled my eyes and poured myself the first of my usual three cups of coffee. My dad says that it's stunting my growth and making me hyper. But I knew better. I was hyper 24/7. With the exception of early morning. Aka, now.

"Dad it's only six in the morning!" I gasped, looking at the clock. He shrugged like it was no big thing. I would show him.

Why?

'Cuz I'm awesome!

I chortled to myself over my favorite catch phrase, but quickly stopped when my father looked my way and I glared at him instead.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

When I was done with breakfast I quickly got dressed and went to the Goddess Pond, where I usually spent my mornings, after of course I SLEPT IN as long as I wanted to. Grr. My dadwould pay.

I saw Popuri there already when I arrived. Goddess she annoyed the heck out of me. I mean really, who had pink hair? Aside from Lillia of course, who was the kindest woman on this planet, the whole family seriously got on my nerves. Popuri had pink hair and a squeaky voice which she constantly used to whine about things. Rick was a hypocrite, always talking about how Kai was, quote, "taking advantage" of Popuri, when he was getting Karen drunk every night just so she would go out with him. And their dad, well I haven't actually met him, but judging from the stories, he was a complete jerk also. Poor Lillia.

I stood by the lake for awhile, just enjoying the fresh air. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard a soft voice say hello. I just about jumped out of my skin.

"HOLY BISCUITS!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and jumped about five feet into the air. I whipped around to see who this person was and what the heck he thought he was doing!

It was a young man about my age, twenty-one. He had a huge cowlick in his dark brown hair and chocolatey brown eyes. He wore overalls. He was tall, taller than me, and even I had to admit that he was handsome. Really handsome...

Oh shut up, you voice in head!

I was threatening myself now. Just perfect.

"Um...hi." He said.

"Oh...hi. Sorry about that. I'm Ann."

"Jack." He said, extending his hand out towards me. I took it. He had big calloused hands, but he was surprisingly gentle when he shook. I just stared at his hand like an idiot until he let go. Then I looked at him in the face.

"Wait, are you the new farmer?" I asked. I had heard dad talk about it with a drunken Duke awhile ago.

I trudged down the stairs to do my work shift like usual when I heard voices. I looked around the bar. It was my dad and Duke, who were obviously drunk. I rolled my eyes. Why my dad wanted me to serve drinks to Duke, was beyond me. He didn't need anymore, that was for sure.

"Hey! My man Doug! How are you?" Duke's voice rang out across the Inn, loud and obnoxious.

"Hello Duke." He smiled, a bit wearily.

"Sit down!" Duke boomed. My dad did as he was told. "How are things?"

"Just fine! And you?" He asked heartily.

"Oh, awesome!" Duke laughed girlishly. "Did you hear? We're getting a new resident!"

"Oh! Is that so?" My dad, asked, getting more and more into this conversation.

"You bet! He finally took over that old dump of a farm! Haha! Sucker!"

"Well I bet the mayor's happy about that." The two men laughed loudly together, until Mayor Thomas himself entered the Inn. Doug was instantly quiet. Duke just kept laughing like the idiot he was...

I snickered. The mayor hadn't been too happy when Duke rashly told him what they were talking about. But I guess he had been right. I figured he heard it from Manna, one of the gossiping mothers of Mineral Town and also Duke's wife.

"Yeah." Jack answered.

Suddenly I felt bad for Jack. I had seen the farm a few times, and the debris pile was even larger than Kai's ego, if that's possible. I snickered again at that, but stopped abruptly when I saw the look on Jack's face.

"Oh, sorry. That really sucks, you know."

"Tell me about it." He rolled his eyes. "That leech of a mayor you guys have is very convincing. But wow, is he evil." I couldn't disagree with him there.

"Want me to come help out or something?" I still felt bad. Which was very unlike me.

"Really?" His eyes lit up with excitement. "You would do that for me?"

"Sure, sure." I said, waving my hand. I brushed off his gratitude like it was nothing.

"Wow! Thanks so much! See you tomorrow Ann!" And with that he darted off. Probably before I could change my mind.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I walked back to the Inn and my home slowly, letting my thoughts wander a bit to a certain someone. My train of thought crashed suddenly when a voice yelled:

"ANN!" I nearly jumped out of my skin again, for the second time this day.

"Goddess Dad! What?!" I yelled back, my hand on my pounding heart.

"I need your help over here!" I rolled my eyes. Of course he did. The man was about as helpless as a newborn baby. Couldn't do anything for himself. I shook my head, mumbling and making tsk tsk sounds as I approached Doug. He was sitting with Duke, drinking.

Wonderful.

"Annie-kins could you bring us some drinks?" He asked, looking at me innocently.Annie-kins? UGH. He hadn't called me that since I was five!

"Get them yourself you lazy butt!" I said but wasn't heard at all over Duke's booming laughter.

"Annie-kins?" He finally asked, wiping tears from his eyes. I stomped to the kitchen, muttering.

"Dookie-pie." I had heard Manna call him this, in the rare moments that they weren't yelling at each other.

When I got to the kitchen, I suddenly had a brilliant plan.

I was going to get back at my father. And Duke.

I grinned evilly and cackled like the evil genius I was, rubbing my hands together greedily.

I went over to the fridge, and took out raw eggs, moldy cheese, (I have no idea how long it's been in there) leftover spinach, and a piece of fried chicken. I put it all in the blender then added food coloring.

Then it was time to give them their precious drinks. I exited the kitchen and walked over to their table.

"Here you go, gentlemen," I said, smiling angelically. "Hope you enjoy your drinks." Then I went and sat behind the counter to watch the results.

Doug drank first. He put the glass to his lips and sipped. Then his eyes almost popped out of his head as he gagged over the thing. I had to put both my hands over my mouth to keep from laughing. Duke didn't seem to notice, or didn't care. He tipped his head back and drank heartily. I watched as he proceeded to spit it all over Doug.

By now, I was rolling on the ground laughing my butt off.

But they didn't even notice.

Stupid drunks.
