A Harvest Moon Vacation
Chapter 22 : SUNSET SCANDAL
[SUMMER XX, YEAR 4]
NATE : Um... hi?
STU : Big sis!
ELLI : Stu! Where have you been?! I've been looking for you!
STU : But big sis...
ELLI : No buts... We have to go with grandma.
STU : Aww... Okay. Bye May! Bye Uncle Nate!
NATE : Wait a minute... I'm not old yet, so call me big bro Nate, 'kay?
STU : Okay Uncle Nate!
NATE : -_- *sigh* 'kay... See ya!
ELLI : Oh! By the way, May, you're grandpa's looking for you. He said he'd be at the lobby of the beach-side lodge. Nate, could you bring her there?
NATE : Sure. Are you ready to go, May?
MAY : *nods* Let's go, uncle!
NATE : That's "BIG BROTHER" Nate, kay?
MAY : Yes, uncle!
NATE : *sigh* Why do I even bother?
MAY : Did you say something, uncle?
NATE : No, nothing. Let's go to your grandpa.
MAY : Hurrah!
* Nate walks May over to the beach-side lodge and drops her off to her Barley *
NATE : Here you go, May.
BARLEY : Thank you, Nate. *Turns to May* We're gonna share our room with Grandma Ellen, Ms.Elli & Stu, kay?
MAY : Sure! That's great! Now I'll have someone to play with in the room!
NATE : I'll be going now!
BARLEY & MAY : Bye! *Waving their hands*
* Meanwhile, Jack & Karen take a walk down the beach during the sunset *
KAREN : Wow, this beach is so much bigger compared to the one we have at Mineral Town.
JACK : I know... *Looks to the sunset* It's really nice that we get a chance to spend time together like this again.
KAREN : A walk down the beach during the sunset is SO romantic.
JACK : Yeah, but...
KAREN : But what?
JACK : I think a lot of people already thought of that. *Points to Gray & Mary, Ann & Cliff, Popuri & Kai then Elli & the doctor*
KAREN : Oh... I see now.
JACK : Let's look for a place where we can be alone, how about it?
KAREN : Sure!
* Jack & Karen walk to the area near the docks *
JACK : This place looks okay.
ANN : Jack! Do you mind?
CLIFF : Um... we kinda... got here first, you know?
KAREN : Oh, sorry! We'll go now.
JACK : Sorry, I didn't notice.
* Jack & Karen leave *
ANN : Let's move somewhere else, someone might bother us again.
CLIFF : Sure...
* Cliff & Ann leave *
* Jack & Karen run to the now-empty beachball spot *
KAREN : Jack, we even get a perfect view of the sunset!
JACK : Wow!
GRAY : Hey... I got this spot, move over.
KAREN : This spot, too?
JACK : Don't worry Karen, we'll find a good spot.
* Jack & Karen leave *
GRAY : Someone else might drop by so let's find another spot.
MARY : I think I know just the spot!
* Mary & Gray leave *
* Karen & Jack continue to walk down the shore till they reach an area near a cliff *
JACK : Let's head over there! *Points to a place behind a few boulders*
KAREN : Why there?
JACK : We'll see the tide and the view should be great, too!
* They steadily walk through the rocks and they come across a few voices *
KAREN : Jack, hush! I hear voices.
JACK : Really? *Listens* I hear a faint voice but I can't recognize whose.
KAREN : Let's take a look.
JACK : *nods*
* Jack offers to give Karen a boost & she gets atop a boulder with Jack following after her *
KAREN : I can't see clearly, just silhouettes.
JACK : Hmm... All I can tell is that there are two of them.
KAREN : One is a guy & the other is a girl.
JACK : How can you tell?
KAREN : The other one has a swimsuit on.
JACK : Damn, I can't see so well because of the sunset.
KAREN : O_O Oh my gosh!
JACK : Huh?! What?
KAREN : The guys just kissed her!
JACK : Who? Who?
KAREN : I can't recognize them...
JACK : Was it a 'kiss' kiss? or a 'kiss'?
KAREN : A kiss as in 'kiss'!
JACK : So a 'kiss' kiss?
KAREN : Yeah, a 'kiss' kiss!!
JACK : Would that be the kiss 'kiss' or the 'kiss' kiss?
KAREN : @_@ Huh? I'm confused.
JACK : Er, so am I.
KAREN : Argh! I can't see so well, how about you?
JACK : Let me get closer... *trips on a rock* Argh!
KAREN : You idiot!
* The couple hear Jack fall & run off *
KAREN : Now look what you did.
JACK : Sorry, I tripped on something.
KAREN : *Sigh* Now we'll never know who they were.
JACK : But at least we know there's something going on with someone.
KAREN : We'll just have to see who reacts when we ask them.
JACK : Nice plan. By the way, since when were you a gossip monger?
KAREN : What?! I feel insulted you think I'm one. I'm just a bit curious on who's getting married next.
JACK : Whatever, let's just head back to the beach-side lodge. It's geting dark and we might be the ones being talked about since we're out here so late.
KAREN : You're right. It is getting dark, so let's go.
* Karen & Jack run through the beach and arrive at the beach-side lodge *
JACK : It was fun running through a beach that long!
KAREN : Yeah... It was as if I could run forever!
DRAKE : Hey people, the lovebirds are back!
MAYOR : You two are just in time for the fun & games! Hurry up and get changed, your rooms are upstairs.
DRAKE : Here's the key to your room. *Hands them their card-key*
JACK : Okay, let's go, Karen.
* The couple head to their room & take their bath together then change into their casual clothing *
KAREN : I wonder what Mayor Thomas meant by fun & games.
JACK : Maybe we'll play Cluedo, or Battleship.
KAREN : Yeah, we might even play drinking games! That would be fun!
JACK : I hope they won't start ahead of us!
KAREN : Hurry up then!
JACK : Okay... I'm done. Let's go!
