Harvest Moon Fan Fic
Chapter Four
The following morning, Jack opened his eyes, blurry at first, and then took a look around the room. He stared again and now realizing he was at his grandfather's house. For a second he panicked, thinking he was kidnapped...then he calmed down yet again. Then he turned his head and glanced at the clock, 6 30, he usually wakes up this early to go to his summer tutor's house...
He decided to go see where his grandfather is; he walked down the hallway discovering that his grandfather's bedroom door is open. He peeked inside and saw that he wasn't there.
Next, he decided to change first then go downstairs. He chose a blue and red checkered short sleeve, then took out a dark blue jeans. He quickly got dressed and ran down the stairs finding a plate of eggs, bacons, pancakes, and sausages on top of the dinning table. Next to them were four kinds of syrups. They were blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and maple.
Just about he was going to dig in, he found a note held down by the syrup holder. On the note it said 'I am outside taking care of the plants and animals. Go ahead and eat, its ok if you don't finish, usually Melody would eat whatever I didn't finish. If you want you can go and watch TV. ~Gramps.'
No wonder why Jack couldn't find him. Jack went and sat down and started wolfing down the delicious breakfast because he wants to go outside and enjoy the sun again. Finally about ten minutes later, he finished and went to the kitchen and put the plates inside the sink. He practically sprinted out of the house onto the fields of the farm. He stood there for a second, taking big breaths of the morning air, and stretching his arms wide above his head. He ran through corn stalks and tomato plants, searching for his grandfather...but he couldn't find him...Jack thinks back to the note... 'I am outside taking care of the plants and animals.' Oh yes, now Jack remembers, he went to the barn, the stable, but didn't find him, so the last place to search is the CHICKEN COOP!!
By the time Jack got there he was almost out of breath, he pushed the door open a little, making sure no chickens were going to peck him and run out. Then finally he sees his grandfather putting chicken feed in the feeding place, "Good morning, grandfather," Jack yelled so suddenly that his grandfather jumped off the ground by about four feet.
"Look at you today, all dressed up and ready to go, ok, today I'll bring you to the supermarket, because I need to buy some more seeds and plant them today."
"Ok, so are we going now?"
"No, in just a second, how about you go to the river that is at the side of the farm? You can see fishes in the river."
"Sure, I'll be waiting for you there," Jack, ending the conversation, walked out of the chicken coop and glanced into the river. He saw tiny fishes and fish eggs right at the side of the small river. Watching in astonishment, he walked down the river and saw some tadpoles and some frogs. He took a stick and started poking the frogs and slowly all of them are on the other side of the river, he liked to see the frogs leap rapidly across the river. The tadpoles look like they were slipping down the river because of the current. Then after about ten minutes, his grandfather came down and started chatting with him, "So, what do u want to do today?"
"I dunno...go hiking again? Or lets go to the hot spring and take a good swim!"
"Sure, lets go get our swimming suits and towels." His grandfather said. So Jack walked back to the house, into his new room. He now realizes that he didn't see his swimming suit that day when he unpacked. He panicked, flipped through his whole sports bag, the he found it on the very bottom of his cloths. Then feeling very happy, he runs into the bathroom and grabs a fluffy white towel from the bathroom. Then he ran downstairs finding his grandfather at the front door, "You got everything? Good, then lets go, it's on the right of the farm." His grandfather commented.
"Ok!" Jack yelled as he ran down the farm, almost tripped over a rock. His grandfather smiled. Took only two minutes walk from the house to the hot spring because the hot spring is right outside the boundaries of the farm. There is a wooden fence around the small, steaming hot spring. This made Jack so excited he changed in about five seconds and leaped into the hot steamy water. His grandfather came a few minutes after Jack; he walked into the hot spring and sat down to recover his muscles. He had been working too hard, so he thought maybe tomorrow he'd ask Jack to help him in the chicken coop.
As his grandfather sat there watching Jack, he listened to the sounds around him, feeling calm and relaxed in the hot spring. Meanwhile, Jack was swimming in the hot spring, diving, floating, and looking through the misty water. He couldn't believe how pretty the hot spring water could be. This is, actually, his first time in a hot spring in his whole life. His mom just didn't care if he never had fun, its all about the future, future this, future that. Jack never argued with his mom, because it was very bad when he did once, the memory is really painful.
"Oh Jack! Time to go to your favorite summer school again!" His mom yelled up the stairs of their house.
"I'm not going this year, I am so sick and tired of studying every summer! Why can't I enjoy summer like any other people? Today I am going to go to the park with my friends and walk in the sunlight," Jack yelled from his room, with his arms folded and his door locked just incase his mom tries to come in.
"You better come out of your room right now, or you'll get a very bad memory for your life! Even though you are not having fun right now, I am thinking about your future, your family, your business, and your knowledge." His mom howled up the staircase again, tapping her foot impatiently.
"NOO! You think! I want to have fun over the summer, not stuck in a small classroom, sticking my head in the math book and writing vigorously over pieces of paper! I get made fun of in school just because I go to summer school at my age like this!" Jack shouted, tears falling down his cheek, dripping down to his small bed.
"I am going up to your room right now and pull you out of there!"
"You can't, because I already put up my door knob lock and another lock so you can't come in."
"Fine," his mom hollered, walking outside to the shed. Jack looked out the window, and saw that his mom took out an axe, waving it in mid air, threatening him that she'll crack his door open. But Jack ignored it and lay on his bed. Then suddenly he heard footsteps coming up the stair and a sudden stop right in front of his bedroom door, "I warn you again, are you going to come out of the room? If you don't, then I'll chop down your bedroom door!"
"I don't believe that you would chop down my door, and pull me out of my bed."
"That was your last chance! Here I come!" Suddenly the room shakes and the door cracked open right in the middle, and more slashes came at the sides of the door. Jack jumped behind his bed and watched. The door broke down and his mom looked like a crazy maniac holding the axe. She then charged toward Jack, and slashed his bed. Feathers were everywhere and his favorite blanket was ripped into six pieces and thrown into the fire burning in the living room. Then she ripped his pillow and smacked on top of his head, "now are we ready to go?" His mother asked, glaring at him.
"Yes..." Jack whimpered through his breath, scared to death. Then getting dressed he took his backpack and sat quietly on the car.
