A/N: I was holding back on a Harvest Moon Fiction, only because I thought
I might give it a shot elsewhere before I started writing here. But alas,
only failure was pushed into my hands, which gave me a not-so-sweet taste.
Anyhow, I hope you like this one. It's a Muffy and Jack fiction, seeing as
no one really writes about them together and they're my favorite couple in
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. P.S. Muffy's POV. Also, some spoilers
will be present but not until later chapters.
It seems like it's been forever.
It's just been really long.
"Muffy? Are you going to keep drying that goblet or are you going to take some orders?" Griffins' voice came by, and I shot up from my sorrowful daydreaming. I think I gave him a shocked look because his tone changed from anxious to gentle.
"Maybe you should get some sleep." He said. "I can take it from here."
"I think I will." I said, sighing and tossing the rag on the counter and placing the very clean drinking cup on the rack behind the counter. Sadly I opened the door and went upstairs to my room, feeling that sleep wasn't going to do me any good.
I don't know why I've been feeling this way all of a sudden. Ever since I was little I've always dreamed of being married, not too soon and not to the wrong guy, but at the right age and to the best man. Though, I'm already at a prime age, and I haven't seen one man I've felt any special connection to.
I think it's just because I want to travel, but Nami tells me otherwise. She says that it's not important to get married and find a man, and that time should be spent on better things. I know Nami thinks what she said was good advice, and it was, but really I want someone to spend my life with.
Someone to spend forever with.
But forever, still appears to be long, and now I just hope that I'll be able to find the right man after all because I really don't want to be alone. I want to learn different things and find that I can come to someone without having to hold back my real feelings.
I got into bed at that moment, and spent the last night of winter tossing in my bed with dreams of trying to catch something I've never had, fighting with a sword that wasn't there, and protecting myself with a shield that can't be found.
The next morning I awoke very early, around five o'clock I would say. I took out my curlers and brushed my blonde hair out. Sad green eyes stared at my in my vanity mirror and I gave a weak smile to try to reprimand it. No such luck though.
I waited a few hours until Griffin called me from his room. (I always did this in case I would wake him up, or I would catch him at a "bad" time.) "Muffy, you can come down now, Takakura is coming down with the new arrival."
"New arrival?" I asked quizzically.
"Yeah, a new guy came to town. He's taking over the farm with Takakura. He's around your age too I believe Muffy."
"Oh. Okay. Should we go meet him?"
"If you want to. It'd show some common courtesy."
"Alright."
I followed Griffin out of the bar when we heard Takakura's low raspy voice coming from behind the door. "This is the Blue Bar, owned by Griffin and also where Muffy works."
"How do you do?" The man said politely. I blushed heavily and kicked my one foot behind the other.
"Oh, I'm fine..."
"Jack, my name is Jack." He replied. His piercing brown eyes smoothed calmness and caring over my mind. His equally brown hair was slightly untidy but I actually wasn't expecting that much tidiness from a farmer.
"Well, we ought to be going then. Jack, this is Nina and Galen..." Takakura said, traveling over to the house opposite of the bar. I saw Jack keep looking back at me as he met nearly the whole block, and as he was about to go up to Romana's Villa, he gave me a wink.
"Ready to go inside now?" Griffin asked, opening the door for me.
"Oh yeah. Sorry Griffin."
And with that, my hope fired up freely, and I began to sleep better as the days went on.
A/U: So? How did you like it? Reviews are always welcome and criticism is all right as well, as long as it is constructive mind you.
Preview of Next Chapter: A Visit
I wandered into Jack's farm, hoping to catch a glimpse of him or anything else. I saw a normal cow, as well as a large male brown cow. I leaned over the edge of the fence to gather a better look when a large bark came tumbling my way. A point eared puppy with a red bandana tied around his neck was barking at my presence. I wasn't quite sure of what to do, and I gave a yelp of surprise. Then I heard footsteps coming closer and saw that Jack had just heard. He was talking to Takakura, but the bark or my yelp must've ended the conversation. Takakura gave me a fading look, and walked off.
"I'm sorry, was I interrupting?" I asked Jack.
