Author's Time: Time to go back to my roots in romance/humor fics. Well, this story takes place in the BTN time line. So if you don't know it, you might get confused. But that doesn't mean you won't like it! Anywho, I based this story around another fanfic I wrote. Also note that this is probably the longest chapter in the story since the rest of the chapters are going to be the letters only. So....enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was New Year's Day and everyone was at the Inn having fun. The guys drink to their hearts content as the girls exchanged gossip with one another. At the far side of the Inn, Jack and the girls were sitting down, talking and laughing at each other. But, little did they know, it was all going to change. The old, ten cent phone rang and Doug picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" He answered. Doug listen to the person on the other line and looked over at Jack's direction. Jack saw Doug signaling him to come over so he did.
"What's up?" Jack asked.
"For you..." He said, handing him the phone. Jack took the phone and placed it against his ear.
"Hello?" He said. The girls watched as he took the phone call. "Huh?! Dad! I ...whoa, this is so sudden....I mean...uh huh....uh huh....what?!" Jack's voice screamed. Just then, the girl's expressions went blank. "Ok, tell me again...what happened?" He said, walking back and forth.
"What do you think is happening?" Ann asked them as they continued to watch.
"You think something bad has happen?" Popuri asked him. They all looked at each other and then looked back at Jack.
"Yes I...yeah...yeah...But I have a farm to run and....ok...Fine! ...I'll be there as soon as I can." He said, putting down the receiver. He slowly walked back to the cluster of girls and sat down.
"What's wrong? Who was that?" Elli asked. Jack let out a sigh and looked at them.
"That was my dad. He said mom is extremely ill....he wants me to go back home..." He said to them.
"You're not going to are you?!" Popuri asked him.
"I...I have no choice...." He quietly said to them.
Chapter 1: The Girl Next Door
Spring 2
Jack let out a sigh and locked up his belongings in his case.
"Well...that's everything...from my tools to my personal items...." He said, walking out of house and into his field for the last time. He took one good look at his hard work and smiled. There was a meadow of grass as far as you can see, a forest of flowers that would take you days to count, and vegetables and fruits that covered most of his land. "If grandpa was here, he'll be proud...." He said, heading to his mail box. He stopped in front of it and laughed. "You know, the only things that come in the mail are when shops stock on something or Ann's invitations...nothing else..." He said to himself, checking the mail on last time. But this time it was different. Inside were six different letters, all addressed to him. "Hmm...Who would send me letters now?" He asked himself as he took them and walked into his house.
Jack sat down and scattered the letters all over his table. He noticed that one of them was written in pink and had a little picture of a baby chick on it. He laughed and picked it up. "It must be Popuri's..." He concluded as he opened the letter. In fact, it was from Popuri but it wasn't a short farewell letter, it was something more....
Dear Jack,
Where do you think you're going! You can't just leave us! You have a job to do and animals to take care off!! If you go, who will take care of the farm! But then again...you mom is sick...and I guess it's the right thing to do...but you better come back! You don't know how much you mean to me...
Why's that you ask? Well, let's just say that I could have turned to you if I had any problems. Heh, I remember when you first came...you just happen to catch me at the wrong place at the wrong time...but you were nice when you talked to me, comforting me about my lost...You really helped me back then and I always knew that if there was anything else I needed to get off my chest, you were just a door away.
You were also a role model to me. Someone I could look up to. When you inherit that rundown farm, I thought you would give up the second you saw how neglected it was. But you didn't care, you worked your butt off, trying desperately to restore the farm land you grandpa once had. Back then, I didn't have any faith in you, nor did I really care since farm work for me was extremely boring. But you proved me wrong. You proved everyone wrong. Out of that wasteland of a field came the best produce since your grandpa used to run it so many years ago. Since then, you were an inspiration to me. To try my best, even if it isn't enough. To try my best...
And...there is something I was meaning to tell you. Something that I have kept a secret for all these years. I was going to tell you one day...but every time I see your kind personality and caring eyes, I just lose track of time and forget what I was going to say. Well...I guess now it a good time to tell you, even though it wouldn't make a difference in the world...but still, I would still like it if you knew anyways....
It's....it's that I love you! O god I love you! But I was to afraid of what you're reaction might have been. Sure...I may act really childish, like a cry baby, and a little immature, I admit that, but this time I'm serious. From the bottom of my heart, I do in fact love you....will all my heart and soul. Every morning that I wake up, I look forward to the day, knowing that I'll see you again when you pass by. I'm not sure what you're feelings are towards me...but it's not the biggest concern now... So...this is it, my final good-bye. I'm sorry that I can't be at the pier and say bon voyage when you leave...but I know that I won't be able to stop crying if I did see you go...
Just promise me something. When you do come back to Mineral Village... and I mean, WHEN you do come back...please come see me first? It would mean the world to me if you do...so...so long...farewell. I'll always remember you...forever and ever as the farmer next door.
Yours truly, Always and Forever,
Popuri
Jack took a minute to re-read the letter and looked at the direction of the Poultry Farm.
"Popuri...I...I didn't know...but then, if her letter's like this..." He said to himself, looking at the other letters. "Then that means that the other letters about going to be the same..." He placed Popuri's letter down and reached for another one. "Well, let's see whose letter I'll read next..." He said, picking up a letter.
End of Chapter 1

Sorry for stopping it right there! I know I know... "Boo! Suspense sucks!" I know I know..but I had to...anywho, do you guys like it? Hate it? Tell me! Well, I would like to take this time to thank fairyfriend and Lynnika for giving me some information about Popuri...but whose letter I'll type up next? Heck...I'm not sure...but it'll be up! Don't worry!
