Disclaimer: I don't own the game natusme does if you though I owned it I
recommend you get some help.
This is my first fic so please review and any helpful criticism accepted.
This will not be the traditional harvest moon 64 story though it will be
based on that world but with some changes.
AN OLD MANS WISH
CHAPTER 1
Looking out over the rail Jack caught his first glimpse of land. At the very same moment the ferry's intercom bellowed, "We will be arriving at Flowerbud Village in fifteen minutes, all passengers prepare for arrival." Disrupted from his half daydream Jack got off the rail and returned inside the ship to gather his belongings and say good bye to his parents, well his mom at least. He doubted his father would even bother to wish him luck or say good bye at all. Not that Jack really cared what his father did. Thinking back to that horrible day one moth ago, he remembered the moment he had opened the letter.
The letter telling him his beloved grandfather was dead. Even more shocking then that though was the news that in his grandfathers will, he had left the farm to Jack and not his father. He also recalled his fathers' reaction to all of this. For the first time in years Jack saw what appeared to be a sign of emotion on his fathers face and thought he was going to cry, only to seconds later see his father start to scream about how that stupid old fool father of his, left the farm to a freaking kid. Soon though his father started laughing, and saying it didn't matter anyways because Jack was still a kid, and because he had custody over him he could still sell the farm. Both Jack and his father had realized right away what his grandfather was trying to achieve by giving Jack the farm. He knew his coldhearted son would try and sell the farm and in a desperate bid to prevent this, he gave it to the one person he knew that would no mater what, never sell it. Soon though it was his father in surprise, as Jack himself began to laugh. Almost screaming at his father he said "unless you can sell a whole farm in two days father, I don't think you will be selling it at all." Watching his fathers confused look, Jack continued, "Don't you remember that I turn eighteen in two days, making me a legal adult and giving you no right to sell my farm." After a few seconds his father realized his son was right. "In that case what are you going to do with the farm?" his father asked in an angry tone. Jack was quite, he had never thought about it, he had been so busy in worrying about his father selling it, he had never thought about what to do with it if it wasn't sold. "I..I...I will take over the farm myself." Jack barely stuttered out. There was silence, half expecting his father to either laugh at him or yell at him he was shocked when his father simply said, "fine you leave in one month, I will give you enough money to get started but if you haven't restored the farm within two years, you sign it over to me so I can sell it. He couldn't believe his ears. His father walked out after that and soon could hear his mother screaming at his father after he told her about there little talk.
A month later hear they were on the boat and about to land at Jacks new home. What would await him there he didn't know, at this point the only thing he could be sure of was that he was doing what his grandfather would have wanted him to and that all that mattered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- So what do you think please review I need to no that even a few people would like to see this continued. Chapter 2 preview, Jack says good bye to his mother and arrives at his new home.
