A/N: Well, I should probably put this higher on my list of priorities. I'm
sorry I don't update this often. I'm working on it. I think I'll keep you
in suspense as to who the girl Jack is gonna choose, heh heh. I'm getting
there, though. And I don't really like to make a new paragraph every time
someone talks, but it does let you know someone else is talking, so I'll
keep doing it. Thanks for the tip, Amaya! Or Krazie4Christ, or whatever
your name is when you read this. :)

Chapter 4: The weirdest day
Jack woke up, remembering today's the sowing festival. He didn't know what that was, just that a kid named Kent told him it was the sowing festival, and he had to go to the town square. He walked to the crossroads, thinking he's got time, might as well explore the mountains.
He gathered a few items he could sell, and a flower, for Popuri. He saw a fisherman, and walked over to him. The fisherman saw him too, and greeted him.
"Hello there! Do you have a fishing rod?"
"No, I don't. I'm new here." Jack replied.
"Well, I just happen to have an extra. You can have it." He handed the rod over to Jack, carefully. "Do you want me to teach you how to use it?"
"Yes, please." Jack said eagerly.
"Alright." The fisherman cast the rod, and pulled it back. "Obviously, you should pull it back when there's a fish on the line." Jack nodded. Then the fisherman handed it to Jack. "You try."
Jack casted it into the river. He waited patiently, and after a few minutes(A/N: even though it really takes hours in the game), the line started to wiggle. "Hey, I got something!" He pulled it back quickly, but the fish fell off in the air, and back in the water.
"It takes practice."
"I noticed. Well, thanks anyway." Jack then started off for the next part of the mountains, where the carpenters live.
"Hello there, stranger!" Jack was greeted with. The man was pretty old, and short too. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" he questioned Jack.
"I'm Jack, and I was exploring the mountains. I'm new here."
"Well, isn't today a festival? Everybody goes to festivals. Except for us mountain-dwellers. You aren't a mountain dweller, are you?"
"No, I'm not. I guess I'll get going."
"Well, if you need a home extension, come to me. I'm the head carpenter. The others are in the house."
Jack walked out of the mountains, back to the crossroads and through the town to get to the square. When he got there, he saw an air ballon and people surrounding it.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Jack asked the first person he saw, the parson.
"Shh! They're about to go up in the sky." Jack saw the potion shop dealer near the balloon, with the mayor.
"Well, who would you like to go with?" the mayor asked the potion shop dealer.
"I'd like to take my grandson, Stu." Stu and the potion shop dealer went inside the balloon, and it went up in the sky. Then Jack saw a bunch of people tying bags to balloons they were holding. He accidentally bumped into the Florist, Lillia.
"Is everything ok? Is there anything left undone?" she asked Jack, who at this time was very confused by all this. He saw Popuri, she could tell him what's going on, he thought.
"Hi Jack! something wrong?"
"Yeah, I don't know what all this is! This is the weirdest day of my life!"
"It's the planting festival. Ask my mom for a balloon, and tell her everything's ready. You'll get the rest later."
He still didn't understand it all, but did as Popuri said. All the balloons went in the air, with bags of seed, someone explained, tied to them. When they popped, they would spread the seed all over the land, so they would have a bountiful crop season. Jack understood it now, as Popuri said. He was beginning to like this place.
A/N: Short chapters, I know. I stink at writing long ones. It seems like this story is going nowhere, I haven't really done anything out of the ordinary with it since the first chapter. I'm trying, though. And if you're wondering, I was really confused by the planting festival when I saw it for the first time, and was wondering what kind of game I bought, and also was wondering if it was worth the $40 I got it for. So I just decided to put that confusion into this story, since I'm sorta trying to model Jack after me. And it's a proven scientific fact that the more reviews, the faster I'll write! Meaning: You review.
