Chapter 2: Muffy Asks Daryl for Help

Nami woke up and stretched, yawning. She rubbed her eyes and got dressed. After getting dressed, she walked over to her diary and opened it.

"Does the new guy, Jack, deserve a heart?" Nami asked herself. Then she smiled, remembering the day before. It seemed he was trying to get her attention, but she just pushed him away; like she always did. She shutted herself away from everyone; not letting anyone getting to know the true her.

She drew a green heart beside his name. "I don't think I'm going to let that happen this time," she said, shutting her diary.

Jack got up and did his chores. Afterwards, he went exploring. He turned left and saw Celia's farm.

"Well, I guess I should go and pick some flowers. Best way to impress girls these days," he said. (A/N: As you can tell, Jack obviosly likes the girls) As he passed by Celia's, he saw a big patch of flowers by her farm.

"Jackpot!" he chuckled to himself as he picked every one of them. As he got done, he noticed the wind seems to pick up. 'Stange' he thought. Then he turned his head to the way the wind was blowing and he seen a pick dirt road leading up the hill.

Interesting' he thought, and decided to check it out. As he neared it, three small little guys popped up. "Would you like to conect to the Gameboy Advance Friends of Mineral Town?"

Jack arched his eyebrow. "Ummm..... no. I have no idea waht you're talking about," he said to the small creatures. They sighed and walked off.

"That was weird," he said, as he then left and headed towards town.

Muffy headed towards Daryl's weird house. She knocked on his door, and he answered. "Yes?" he asked, looking strangely at the girl.

Muffy laughed nervously. "Uh, hi. I'm Muffy and I was wondering if you could make me something," she asked. This guy always made her nervous.

"Yea? What do I get in for it?" he asked looking at her, annoyed.

Muffy smiled. "I've got lots of money,"

Daryl's eyes lit up. 'Yes! Money! That's exactly what I need to finish my experiment on finding that weird hairy creature from the forest!' "OK, miss. What do you need?"

She grins evilly and walks inside his house, without being invited in. He just looked at her plainly, and followed her in.
Jack is walking threw his fields. He's cutting grass for his cow, Betsy. After cutting about 28 bales of grass for her, he hears a feminine scream. It's coming from the entrance of his farm. He runs to the where he ehard the scream, and he sees Nami.

He gasps and runs to her. "Nami, are you OK?" She's laying on the ground, grabbing her foot. "Ou.....ouch...." I think I sprained it. Jack bit his lip, as he didn't know what to do.

"Umm..... how about I give you a piggy-back ride," She shot him a cold glare. "No!" Then she remembered what she said this morning to herself. "I....I mean OK," she said, ashamed.

Jack smiled and picked her up onto his back. 'Wow, he's so strong.' she thought, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Jack smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder. 'Wow...... whenever she's nice, it's like she's a whole other person. Nami felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world; he was the first guy to treat her like this, and she wished it'd never end.

"Ah! Here we are!" Jack said triuphantly as he reached Dr. Hardy's house. He knocked on the door, making sure he had ahold of Nami so she wouldn't fall.

Dr. Hardy answered the door and let them come in. "Now, what's wrong today?" he asked them. "I.....I sprained my ankle," Nami said, guilitl looking down.

--10 MINUTES LATER--

"There! All better!" he said triumphantly. Then he loked up at Nami. "What made you trip in the first place?"

She blushed, afraid he would ask that. "Well, I was going to visit.... Jack and tripped over a branch that must have grown above the ground," she said, ashamed.

Dr. Hardy laughed. 'Young love.' he thought. Nami shot him an icy glare. "What's so funny, DOCTOR?" she raised her eyebrow at the last part.

"N...nothing," he said, wiping his eyes.......er.... eye.

Nami then got up, being very careful not to hurt her sprained ankle that was now in a cast. "Would you like me to carry you home?" Jack asked, flashing her a smile.

"Uhhh.... sure, I guess..." she said. She prepared to get on his back, but this time he sweeped her off of her feet and carried her in his hands.

'This is so much more romantic.' Nami thought, laying her head on his chest. Her eyes widened. 'Wow! His muscles on his chest are even stronger!' she thought, as she blushed deeply.

"Well, here's the Inn," Jack said. "Do you want me to drop you off here or carry you to your room?"

"I can walk upstairs now," she said, gotting off of him. He smiled. "OK. Bye Nami," he said, turning around to leave.

He took a few steps untill he heard her call out to him. "Wait! Jack!" Nami called. Jack turned around. "Yes?" he asked, clueless. "Uhhh...thanks," Nami said hesitantly. She quickly walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek and walked back to the doors.

"Bye, Jack," she said, blushing. Then she went inside.

He stood there, holding his cheek, VERY shocked. "Wow....' was all he said as he turned around and left.
