Chapter 9
The Arrival
It was Spring 8th, the planting festival.
Jack had been chosen as this year's king.
It was his job to 'sow the seeds', and he had to choose a partner.
His relationship with Elli had stayed strong all this time, and so of course he picked her.
They were floating high in the sky and watching everyone let go of their balloons, when he looked into her eyes.
"I love you Elli."
"I love you too Jack, more than you'd ever know." she replied.
They then locked into a passionate kiss.
It was Spring 22nd, the day before the goddess festival and Jack sat on his bed, thinking.
He loved Elli with all of his heart, and it seemed like she might be the one.
But how could you ever be sure?
He had thought the same with Popuri, but look what she had done to him!
"No, Elli isn't like that." he said out loud to reassure himself.
But he still wasn't sure.
He decided to go buy the blue feather now.just in case.
It was the goddess festival.
Elli had won.thank the goddess!
Being the king, he got to dance with her.
They had a great time at the festival, and that's when Jack made up his mind.
The goddess festival had just ended, and Jack and Elli were walking towards his house and talking.
"Elli, wait. Turn here, let's go to the beach." he said before they got to his farm.
She gave him a questioning look, but then nodded.
When they got down to the beach, they walked out on to the pier.
"So Jack, what did you want to come here for?"
"I have a question to ask you." Jack said with a gleam in his eyes.
Elli smiled; guessing at what would come next.
"Elli," he started.
"Would you be my wife?" he asked, sprinkling the blue feather of proposal over her.
(A/N: Or.whatever the heck they do with it)
Elli beamed and embraced him in a tight hug, tears of joy streaming down her face.
"Yes, Jack, of course I will!"
That Sunday, as Jack was walking out of the church, after putting on his tux, he saw Elli already waiting.
"Wow, you look beautiful." he whispered to her.
"Thanks." She replied quietly.
Then the pastor said,
(A/N: blah blah blah blah blah)
"I do." said Jack.
The pastor then turned to Elli.
"I do!" she replied enthusiastically
"I now pronounce you, man and wife! You may kiss the bride."
Jack and Elli embraced each other and kissed.
The reception went till midnight.
It was a few days after the wedding, Summer 1, and Jack was outside, watering crops.
"Jack? Oh my gosh, Jack!" yelled a familiar voice.
A sense of dread rushed through Jack.
His letter, the note, the voice, it was all coming together now.
HAILEY HAD COME TO SEE HIM!
~~~
A/N: Ergh, I know my chapters are getting really short, but the next one will be extra long, and then I plan to wrap it up in the chapter after that. This is getting really long. Think 11 chaps. will be enough? Lol, hope you enjoyed so far!!
