A Harvest Moon Story: The Unlikely Romance Chapter 3
As soon as she reached the beach, Sara groaned. The ferry had just sailed out of the harbor. Suddenly a nasty thought and a horrified look came to Sara. Isaac! She had left him in his crib back at the farm! A tear began to dribble down her cheek, followed by another and another until they were cascading down her face in a waterfall. Suddenly somebody called out to her. "Hello? Hello, who is it? What's wrong?" It was a female voice. Sara didn't want to turn round in case it was Karen, but she forced herself to look. A girl with ginger hair in a plait was walking towards her, looking concerned. "Hi, I'm Ann. Who're you?" "S-s-Sara!" she choked. "Oh! Jack's girlfriend? He still loves you, you know. Karen said he likes her, but he told me that she is just possessive and annoying." "It's...it's n-not just that..." Sara sobbed, though slightly relieved inside. "Well, what then?" "My baby! I left him back at our old farm!" "Oh, don't be stupid. One of the villagers will look after him for you, and when the ferry next comes they'll bring him over." "Y-you think?" "Of course!" Sara wiped her eyes. "When does the next boat come in?" Ann mumbled something. "Pardon?" "Well...it's the 30th of summer today, right?" "Right..." "The...the boat will come on the 30th of fall." "THIRTIETH OF FALL?????" Sara shouted, and some owls took flight from some nearby trees. "Ssshh.you can stay with me if you want." Ann said, patting her arm.
"But...why can't I stay with Jack?" questioned Sara. "Ok, we'll see about that tomorrow, but he'll probably be asleep by now. He needs rest." Sara followed Ann up to the ranch Cliff had shown her earlier.
"Twwet tweet. Tweet tweet." Jack yawned. "Tweet tweet tweet twoooooh! Tweet tweet tweet twooooooh!" Jack pulled himself out of bed and into clothes. The bird song continued. But...it was fall...weren't those summer birds? He walked outside and saw Ann sitting on a rock, hands to her lips to make bird sounds...with Sara next to her. They were giggling, oblivious to Jack staring at them, until Sara turned round. "Hi Jack! Bet you didn't expect to see me here!" Laughed Sara, grinning at his gob smacked face. "You know, Sara does deserve a little respect," said Ann severely, catching her breath. "I...I...I..." Jack stuttered. Sara just laughed again. "Jack, we really should break it off." The farmer couldn't understand what she meant. Was she serious? "I mean, we've started new lives...Ann says I can help out on Green Ranch." She explained. Jack gulped. "But...Sara..." "Please, Jack. It's the best for both of us." Crestfallen Jack Ran Angrily To the animal Stable so not to show Sara his real feelings. Opening the old rusty door of the stable he walked sadly into the dark stable and clicked on the lamp (it gets a little dark in there, even during day). Sara was his true love, his one and only...Sure Karen Was Really Hot but really she's just too annoying. Touching his furrowed brow, jack started milking his prize cow named "Bessie" "Bessie, what should I do?" he inquired of the cow that was mooing softly. He knew that she could not answer but he just had to let all the steam out. Picking up the bucket full of the warm fresh milk he ran to the stall across with his sheep, "wool". "Looks Like Your Wools Getting Pretty Thick, Time To Cut!" The sheep baaed in acknowledgement as jack got out sharp sheers. "What to do next, lets seeee.........yes I must win her dear heart back, but how is the question!" As he was muttering to himself he gathered the wool and stormed out of the stable.........meanwhile Sara was....
Sara And Ann had become the best of friends, Ann was the sister that she never had and Sara was the so dear sister that she never had. Ann Had proposed ever so kindly to stay with her and help out at her ranch, the green ranch. To Start Of a new life and wash away the memories of the old like the ebbing tides of the ocean Ann told her the other day. Gazing into the faltering sunrays of early fall she got of the rock she was sitting and patted a black horse with red hair who nuzzled affectionately. This is the life, much better than at the old farm were jack never made enough money to buy any livestock really. But something kept nagging at the back of her mind. "But but deep down I still have a part in my heart that is still with jack that I can't let go, but I must I must!" The Last four words ringed around the grass fields on the green ranch loudly. "Who are you talking to", a voice rang happily from somewhere. Ann walked right behind her and put her left hand on Sara's shoulder. Surprised, Sara jumped a couple inches and yelped in shock. "Oh hehehelllo Ann"
