AUTHOR :
I haven't updated for a long time. Really... long time.
There are several reasons, and I don't think so many of you would really care what they were.
If you do want to know, then review.
Am I right?
Anyway, back to the other stuff...
Wait...
There isn't any more.

A Harvest Moon Vacation
Chapter 16 : Morning Fury
[SUMMER XX, YEAR XX]
JACK : O_o ...
KAREN : It's like... *stare*
JACK : Are you... *stare*
LYLA : *Smiling* Excuse me?
KAREN : Popu...
LYLA : *bow* I'm sorry, My name is Lyla. Nice to meet you both.
JACK : Err...Excuse me for asking, but are you related to Popuri?
LYLA : Popuri? No, I don't think I know anyone named Popuri and I doubt I would be related...
KAREN : B-but the hair!
LYLA : Huh? My hair? It's pink. Is there something wrong?
JACK : Well, I guess there isn't.
LYLA : It's quite rude to make fun of people because their different.
KAREN : I'm sorry, we're not making fun of you. You just look like someone we know.
LYLA : Well anyway, I don't believe I've heard your names yet.
JACK : I'm Jack.
KAREN : I'm Karen, Jack's wife.
LYLA : Nice to meet you both... I'll be going now. Toodles!
JACK & KAREN : O_o ...
The day was almost over, the townspeople were exhausted from the long boat ride, as well as the tour of the whole island. So most of them decided to sleep, while a portion of the male population went to the island bar.
*At the bar*
DUKE : Ah, Manna's asleep and I'm home free to get as wasted as I want!! *Insane laugh*
KAI : Pipe down, I'm tryin' to enjoy my drink here...
DUKE : Since when did you need ears to enjoy a drink?! I'll be as loud as I want. *Insane laugh*
KAI : I'll tell you one more time... Shut up!!
DUKE : *Clenches fists* That's it! You're gonna get it, you cocky, little punk!!!!!
KAI : *Grabs a chair* I'll shut you for good! You retarded, old bastard!!!!
*Door Opens*
DUKE : Huh?
KAI : Who the...
*Karen walks in*
KAREN : What in hell is goin' on?!
KAI & DUKE : *Pointing at each other* He started it!!!
KAREN : Grrr!! There will be no brawling in any bar I'm in!!
KAI & DUKE : Y-yes, ma'am!
KAREN : Much better. Now shake hands...
KAI : But...
KAREN : The only buts there will be, are your asses getting kicked by me if both of you don't shake hands!! *Shows off her new steel-toe boots (Jack bought 'em earlier)*
*Kai & Duke shake hands grudgingly*
KAREN : Alrighty! *stretch* Bartender, gimme the works...
BARTENDER : Yes, ma'am!
*Later that evening, Kai walks out of the bar.*
KAI: *Tipsy* I just hope that it's only my imagination...
"But what if it isn't, Kai?"
KAI : *Looking around* Huh?! Who's there?!
"You don't need to know that."
KAI : Oh wait, is that you by the rosebush?
"Dammit!! Don't look there!"
KAI : Uh, whatever. What do you want?
"A--hem... As I was saying, 'What if it isn't?'"
KAI : What if what wasn't?
"IT!! What if IT wasn't!"
KAI : You got me completely lost here.
"Thick, I knew. But dense too?"
KAI : Hey!! What did you mean by that?!
"Nothing. Anyway, I'll put it simply: What if I told you that your suspicions were on the spot?"
KAI : Are you saying...
"Yes. It's true."
KAI : How would you know?
"Trust me, I know."
KAI : I can't trust someone who can't even show his face.
"I'm not an idiot, Kai. You may know where I am, but you can't see me clearly. And I have no intention of revealing myself to you."
KAI : Heh, guess not.
"I'll be seeing you around. Stay alive 'til then."
KAI : I'm not dying anytime soon.
"Right. Nasty goats don't die easily."
KAI : Yeah... *thinks for a second* HEY!!
*Shadow disappears*
KAI : So it is...
*Next Day*
JACK : *Yawns then turns to his side* Good Morni... What the hell?! Ann?!
ANN : Huh? Good Mornin'... *yawn*
JACK : What are you doing there?!
ANN : What do you mean?
*Karen opens the door and walks in*
KAREN : *Eyes flaring with hellbound fury* JA~CK!! I sure hope you can explain yourself!!
JACK : B-but... K-karen... I-it's not...
KAREN : Grrr!! *anger fades and tears begin to drop and she falls on her knees then cries silently*
JACK : Karen?
KAREN : H-how could you?
JACK : I... *tries to hold her hand*
KAREN : *strikes away Jack's hand* Leave me alone!!!
*Then Karen runs out of the room crying*
JACK : Karen!!! *Chases after her*
ANN : *Yawn* What's all the commotion about?
*Jack tries to run after Karen, but she runs onto the road.*
JACK : *gasping for air* Kar--en... w-wait!
Karen runs towards the harbor and as she goes through the pier, a cargo truck appears from the side. The truck is unable to stop in time and Karen is hit by the truck and she gets thrown off into the water.
JACK : Karen!!!
DRIVER : *Obviously drunk* Huh? Wassha wantz fra' meh?
*Driver passes out*
*The air bubbles from the water begin to subside*
JACK : No... It can't be!! Karen!!!
*Bubbles disappear completely*
JACK : What? No, No.... NO~!!!!
*Jack is about to dive in, when something rises from the water.*
JACK : What the...
*Karen's body is raised to the surface by someone. His face is hidden by a cap, slightly dirty and covered with seaweed.*
JACK : Karen...
"Hey, do you want to get her or what?"
JACK : *nods*
"I'll bring her to shallow water... *looks around* There! *points to shore*"
JACK : Okay...
*He brings Karen to the shore*
JACK : Thank you so much...
"Don't mention it."
JACK : *Takes Karen from him*
"Better take her to the clinic... It should be about a block down that way. *points*"
*Jack leaves right away and takes Karen to the clinic*
NURSE : Oh my gosh!! We have an emergency!
JACK : Please, save her...
NURSE : We'll do what we can.
*Karen is placed on a stretcher and carried to the Emergency Room*
*A hand perches on Jack's shoulder...*
JACK : Ack!! No~!!
"She'll be fine..."
JACK : Huh? What? Oh, it's you. Ah, I never got to thank you. *turns to him* Thank... What? YOU?!
"What's the matter? You look like you've just seen a ghost..."
JACK : B-but... Y-y-you're... dead.
"No Jack, I'm not."
JACK : ...
