[A Harvest Moon Vacation]


CHAPTER 1, SUMMER : INVITATION


------9:00 AM, SUMMER 4th, YEAR 3------



*Everyone is trying to adjust from what happened last Spring* (1)

JACK (talking to Karen, his wife): Wow! Look at how time passes! It's summer already!


KAREN : Yeah, It seems like yesterday everyone was mourning over Gray.


JACK : Please, don't remind me of that...


KAREN : *giggles* I remember how you got your ass kicked...


JACK : I guess it was a bit funny...


*Someone knocks on Jack's door*


JACK : Huh? Who is it?


"It's me! Popuri!"


KAREN : I wonder what Popuri wants?


JACK : Beats me... *goes toward the door* Hold on! I'm coming!


*Jack opens the door*


JACK : Hi Popuri!


POPURI : *waving frantically* Hi Jack! Hi Karen!


KAREN & JACK : Hi!


JACK : So, What's up?


POPURI : *in a sweet, yet annoying tone* Well... Try to guess!


KAREN : Hmm... It's the end of the world?


*Popuri sticks her tongue out at Karen*


POPURI : Wrong!


KAREN : Well, What?


POPURI : Kai is offering the WHOLE town, a vacation at Moon Island! For free, All expenses paid!


KAREN : That Kai, Trying to show off again...


JACK : Sounds good. I guess everyone needs a vacation after what happened. Did you tell the Mayor?


POPURI : Yup, he was delighted! And he said that everyone should go!


JACK : When do we leave?


POPURI : Kai said that the departure will be at 3pm, the day after tomorrow.


KAREN : *her jaw drops* That soon?!


JACK : Isn't that a bit early? And what will I do about my crops?


POPURI : Kai said some people will handle that.


JACK : Who?


POPURI : Kai said some corporation is gonna be responsible for it... Ask him yourself.


JACK : I guess that's alright... Let's Go!


------1:00 PM------


*Jack visits Mayor Thomas, brings with him his mallet & hoe (don't ask me why...)*


*knock, knock*


MAYOR : Come in!


*Jack walks in and shakes the hand of the mayor*


JACK : Hi Mayor!


MAYOR : Oh Jack! Have you heard the news?


JACK : Yes I did. Popuri told me & Karen.


MAYOR : I see... I'm sure you know why we're taking a vacation...


JACK : Gray?


MAYOR : That's right... We all need a break... So we'll leave ASAP.


JACK : Okay Mayor, Just makin' sure that Popuri's not pullin' a prank... Well anyway, See you!


*waves goodbye to the mayor*


MAYOR : Bye Jack! See you tomorrow!


JACK : Aw hell! So we really are going to some island in the middle of nowhere.


*Jack walks to the clinic to see Elli*


JACK : *knocks on door* Hello! It's me, Jack! I came for those pregnancy test thingies!


*Doctor opens the door and stares at Jack in a very scary manner*


JACK : *freaked out by the doctor* U-um... Elli asked me to drop by and pick up those pregnancy test stuff... Is she in?


DOCTOR : ...


*Doctor stares at Jack even scarier than a while ago*


JACK : Um... I could go by tomorrow if now is a bad time...


*The doctor does an evil grin*


*Jack starts to step back from the door*


DOCTOR : Hold it!


JACK : Yes?


DOCTOR : Come in...


JACK : Uh... I think I have some farming to do... bye!


*Jack runs frantically to the chapel and enters the confessionary box*


JACK : Pastor Carter....


CARTER : Yes? Tell me your sins...


JACK : Well... Actually....


CARTER : You don't have to be ashamed...


JACK : I think that the doctor might be possessed.


CARTER : Oh really?


JACK : Yeah... He gave me an evil sadistic grin...


CARTER : It's alright...


JACK : Really?


CARTER : You're not the first...


JACK : ...


CARTER : ... Your sins are forgiven ...


*Jack runs out the chapel*


JACK : *huff* Maybe the doctor is gone...


*Jack walks back to the clinic*


JACK : Or maybe he's preparing a table so he can open me up & take my guts ...


*Jack gets second thoughts and runs back home*


As Jack walked home, he passed by the square and sees Elli*


JACK : *waves at Elli* Elli!


ELLI : Oh Jack! I already passed by and dropped off the pregnancy test...


JACK : Is that why you weren't at the clinic?


ELLI : *gasp* You passed by the clinic?!


JACK : Er.. Yeah... *changes the topic* What a lovely dress you're wearing!


ELLI : It's the dress I wear everyday...


JACK : Um... It suits you!


ELLI : *weirded out by Jack* ...


JACK : Alright Elli... Have you noticed anything weird about the doctor?


ELLI : Huh? ... *thinks deeply* ... Ah! Was the doctor giving you a weird stare?


JACK : *nods*


ELLI : Grrr... He did it again!


*Elli runs off to the clinic*


JACK : Did what? (I know what you think he did! Don't try to hide it!)


*Jack, traumatized for life, goes home to rest*

(Note: Jack gets nightmares of the doctor trying to take his guts)



------6:00am , SUMMER 6th , YEAR 3------


*Jack wakes up from the nightmare screaming & Karen fixes him breakfast*


JACK : Good Morning...


KAREN : Good Morning... Honey, you were screaming in the bed last night... Were you having a nightmare?


JACK : Huh? *Pretending not to know* Was I?


KAREN : Yes... And you were saying something about medicine...


JACK : It must've been a bad dream...


KAREN : Oh ok...


JACK : Honey, did you pack your things?


KAREN : Done... What about you?


*Jack stays quiet for a while*


JACK : ....


KAREN : What do you mean by '....' ?


JACK : *scratching the back of his head* Sorry honey! I forgot!


KAREN : *sigh* I should've known. Anyway, we still have a bit of time before we leave. So hurry!


* Jack manages to pack his things in a jiffy *


KAREN : Did you forget anything else?


JACK : Nope. (Jack's Mind : At least I don't think so...)


KAREN : Good! We're all set to go!


JACK : Alright! Let's go to the beach!


* Jack & Karen walk to the beach with their bags *


*At the beach, were ALL the citizens of Mineral Town*


JACK : *jaw drops* Wow!


KAREN : Wow... Everyone's here... As in EVERYONE!


*Mayor walks up to them*


MAYOR : Jack! Karen! We're just waiting for the boat to arrive...


JACK : I see...


KAREN : Everyone is really going!


MAYOR : Why yes... It wouldn't be the same if someone were to be left behind...


JACK : We'll just go over there so we can leave our bags...


MAYOR : Oh sure!


*Jack & Karen drop their bags on the sand in front of Kai's shack*


JACK : *Sees thye boat from afar* Look! It's a cruise!


KAREN : *looks around for it* Where?!


JACK : *points in one direction* There!


KAREN : *finally sees the cruise* Wow! It's so beautiful!


JACK : It looks big!


KAI : It's called the 'Mineral Rider'...


*Jack & Karen were scared like hell*


JACK : What the... Kai!!!


KAI : Hehehe... That was fun...


*Karen slaps Kai silly*


KAI : *swollen* Oww... You didn't have to do that...


KAREN : Serves you right!


JACK : Aren't you on the boat?


KAI : No...


JACK : Huh?


KAI : I'll explain some other time... Hurry up and get your asses on board...


KAREN : You wanna get slapped again?


KAI : Heh... Whatever, just hurry...


*Jack & Karen take on last look at the town before they get on the ship*


JACK : *sigh*


KAREN : Why do you look sad?


JACK : I'm gonna miss this place...


KAREN : It's just gonna be one season...


JACK : I guess you're right.


*The ship departs*
