A Harvest Moon Vacation
Chapter 23 : "FUN & GAMES"
[SUMMER XX, YEAR 4]
KAREN : We're done! We'll be there in a minute!
* Jack & Karen run to the lobby to meet up with Mayor Thomas *
MAYOR : There you are! We ought to hurry, everyone's waiting.
JACK : Yeah... By the way, what are we playing?
MAYOR : Well, we're going to decide that when we get there.
KAREN : Can we have drinking games?
MAYOR : Er... Maybe later, when the children are asleep.
KAREN : Yahoo~! ^_^
MAYOR : Let's get going then!
* Later, at the Game Room *
KAI : Well, well, well... They finally got here. I thought Jack got caught in the shower curtains or something, since you took so long getting here.
JACK : Of course not... hey!
DRAKE : Watch what you say Kai, we wouldn't want your little secret spillin' out, would we?
KAI : *turns red* Why you blackmailing little...
DRAKE : *whispers into Kai's ears* Easy Kai... I could spill the beans and you'd never be able to show your face in Mineral Town again.
KAI : *clenches fist* Grr....
DRAKE : Good boy...
STU : What secret?
KAI : Aaaaahhhhhhh!!! Nothing Stu! Nothing!
DRAKE : That's right!... *whispers* Nothing.
JACK : What are we gonna play?
MARY : Actually, I would like to suggest that we...
POPURI : Let's play 'hide & seek'!
RAD : Not a good idea... Get lost here, and you could wind up washed ashore as a corpse.
POPURI : What's a corps? Is that edible? ?_?
MARY : Well, how about...
KAREN : Let's play drinking games, and when you lose you have to strip a piece of clothing! *naughty smile*
POPURI, STU & MAY : Strip?
KAI : Hell yeah!
GRAY : Um... *blushes*
JEFF : Oh dear... My stomach is aching again.
ANN : What?!
GREG : Oh my!
ELLI : *gasp*
RAD : This can't be good.
KAREN : Yeah! I'll start!
JACK : Karen, are you drunk?
MAYOR : I don't see how she could be, all the liquor's with Doug in the backroom.
* In the backroom... *
DOUG (Tied up) : *muffled screaming* (Somebody help me!)
* At the Game Room... *
KAREN : Whee!
JACK : We are not gonna have this drinking game... *mutter* At least while the kids are here.
KAREN : Aw... You're no fun, I shoulda just married... lemme see...
RICK : Me?
KAREN : Kai.
JACK & RICK : WHAT?!
KAREN : Isn't that right, Kaiiii? We woulda had lotsa fun, right?
KAI : Oh yeah... *grin*
DRAKE : Kai... *glare*
KAI : Huh? Oh... yeah. Um... Karen, you should rest a bit for the drinking game later, yeah... that's it! Rest up for the drinking game!
KAREN : *focuses vision* Yeah, maybe I shou... *falls unconscious*
JACK : *sigh* Oh well...
MAYOR : I'll bring her to the next room so she can sleep.
JACK : Thanks Mayor.
MARY : CAN I TALK NOW?! _
KAI : What is it that you want?! You've been nagging...
MARY : Shut up!!!
* Mary glows with a scorching red aura *
KAI : W-what the hell?!
MARY : Hyaaaa!!! Book of Divine Punishment!!!
KAI : Huh?
MARY : Take this! *hits Kai with a THICK book*
KAI : Argh!!! *Blacks out*
GRAY : O_O M-M-Mary?
MARY : Yes? *turns to Gray with glowing eyes*
GRAY : N-Nothing...
MARY : Huh? What's everyone looking at?
MAYOR : Eh... what was it you wanted to say?
MARY : Oh! ... I forgot! Sorry!
EVERYONE : @_@
MARY : Hmm?
ZACK : Let's just have a dog race!
BARLEY : That would be nice...
RAD : Not enough dogs...
ELLI : A tomato fight?
MAYOR : Do you guys have enough tomatoes?
RAD : Not enough for everyone...
KAI : *groggy* Eh... What about a swimming contest?
POPURI : It's already night, dummy!
RICK : Ha! Serves you right, Kai!
KAI : Shut up girly-man!
DRAKE : Everyone, Kai...
KAI : No!
DRAKE : I'm sorry... *whispers* Right, you don't want people knowing that...
SASHA : Know what, doctor?
KAI : No, it's nothing Ms. Sasha!
SASHA : Oh, okay. How about we have a lottery?
ANNA : That would be really fun!
DUKE : That'd be boring!
MANNA : No, it's not! Actually, it would be very interesting to have a lottery right now. We could have lots of prizes, and we could even have special guests arrive as hosts. Maybe we could also have a bingo game! A bingo game would really liven up everyone! Right? I can just imagine it right now!
RAD : We can't organize an entire lottery in one night, you know.
MANNA : Hmm... I guess not.
SAIBARA : *sigh* At this rate, we'll wind up like my grandson when it comes to women. SO indecisive that it'll be too late when he finally decides.
GRAY : What?!
SAIBARA : There ya go again, blushing and stuttering.
CARTER : We should just take a vote on it.
MAYOR : A fine idea!
JACK : But what choices do we have?
DUKE : Hmm... How about we share... *lights go out* ... *turns on a flashlight below his face* ghost stories!!
POPURI : No~! *shrieks*
KAI : You all know what happened the last time we told ghost stories with Rad.
RAD : Hehe... I could tell you more stories I've heard.
KAI : That would be interesting.
JACK : *gulp* Eh... Could someone turn on the lights already?
ZACK : Uh, sure. *walks to the light*
POPURI : Please turn on the lights already, I'm getting scared.
ZACK : Um... Rad, I think we got a problem here.
RAD : What do you mean?
ZACK : Try to guess.
DRAKE : This can't be good.
MAYOR : What's going on?
RAD : Everyone, follow me. We're going somewhere.
JACK : What about Karen?
RAD : Carry her with you. We can't leave anyone behind.
STU : Big sis, why aren't the lights on?
ELLI : Er... It's just an electrical problem.
* Rad leads them through the now dark hallways *
RAD : Stop...
JACK : Huh? What is it? You sense something?
RAD : I think I stepped on gum. Who the hell's been chewing gum?
CLIFF : *spits something out* Not me.
RAD : Let's just go.
* Rad finally stops in front of a large elaborately decorated door *
JACK : This is it?
RAD : We should be fine in here. *Opens door & makes an eerie creaking sound*
RICK : Popuri, you okay?
POPURI : *fainted*
RICK : Oh well. *Carries Popuri on his back*
LILLIA : That's nice of you, Rick.
RICK : Come on, Mom. She's my sister, of course I'd only wish the best for her.
KAI : Rick, I'm sorry if I made you look bad to the peeps of Mineral Town. But believe me when I say that I care for Popuri just like you do.
RICK : I... I... I'm sorry too, for all the things I said 'bout you. I just don't know how to react about Popuri getting along with you.
KAI : It's okay.
DRAKE : Hey! Girly-man & Squid-guy! Get your butts in here before we lock you two out.
RICK : Girly-man?!
KAI : S-S-Squid-guy?!?!
DRAKE : Are you two coming, or not?
RICK & KAI : Wait!!! We're coming!
* Both of them get in then Rad locks the door *
RAD : This ought to be good enough.
JACK : What about the lights?
DRAKE : Zack, could you flip the switches there?
ZACK : *points to a switch* This?
KAI : Deja vu?
KAREN : Yeah, this scene feels so familiar.
(A\N: Chapter 13)
ZACK : Turn this, right?
DRAKE : Yeah.
ZACK : Okay! *Turns the light on*
RAD : Okay everyone, roll call.
DRAKE : Jack & Karen?
JACK : Here.
DRAKE : Ellen, Elli & Stu?
ELLI : Here!
DRAKE : Doctor, Pastor, Zack & Greg.
PASTOR : Thank the goddess we're all here.
DRAKE : Jeff, Sasha, Basil & Anna?
BASIL : Over here! *Waves*
DRAKE : Mary & Gray?
GRAY : *Raises hand*
DRAKE : Okayyy... Mayor Thomas & Harris?
HARRIS : Finally! I get a line!
DRAKE : Whatever. What about the Chinese guy? Won, was it?
WON : Yes, I am here.
ANN : Doctor!!
DRAKE & DOCTOR : Huh?
ANN : Sorry, I mean Dr.Drake.
DOCTOR : Oh...
ANN : My dad's missing again!
DRAKE : What?!
