Dislaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon, or it's characters. But I did write this story.

POV: Jack

"Won!" I screamed running into the Inn, to find him where he usually sits...right under the stairs. "I need Autumn Flowers for Nam-" I was cut-off by Won making the universal "SHH you idiot" (putting one finger to his lips) and with his other hand he was pointing directly above him, where Nami was heading to her room. I stopped and watched the beauty walk away, before walking up to Won.

"Don't worry, Jack. I know exactly what you need." He said before dissappearing into the black bag he always carried around, and coming back out with a bouquet of beautiful Autumn Flowers.

"How is it, that you always know exactly what I need, and you are always a foot away when something big happens in my life?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm a traveling salesman, I know what's best for my customers." He smiled that goofy grin of his.

"How much do I owe you?" I asked, worried about the price, I was a bit broke at this current time.

"No charge." He grinned a really wide grin.

"Well, thanks Won. I owe you, I'll give these to her when the timeis right." I said smiling, before turning to walk out the door, little did I know Ann was right behind me, unto which I bumped into her.

"Agh!" we both exclaimed falling to the floor.

"I'm so sorry, Ann!" I said getting to my feet, and helping her up.

"It's okay, really, it was my fault...say who are those flowers for?" Ann asked, she was always the noisy type.

"To be honest...they are for Nami." I started to blush.

"What? I thought you like Elli?"

"Elli likes me, I'm just friends with her..."

"You didn't feel this way until that slut came to town!" Ann said getting angry.

"Woah, you don't even know the girl, and why are you getting so defensive?"

Someone cleared there throat.

"Jack, Ann, this is not the place for an argument." Doug said behind the counter, he had been watching the whole time. "Ann, go to your room, I have to talk to Jack." Doug motioned Ann away.

Disheartened, Ann took off for her room.

"Now Jack, you're a smart, and handsome young man, correct?" Doug asked...which was a bit creepy.

"I suppose..."

"Well, have you ever thought that Ann has a crush on you? I know it wouldn't work out between you two, the entire village would be set on fire by the time the honeymoon is over." He chuckled at his own joke. "What I'm trying to say is, try not to rub in the fact that you like another girl, to a girl that has a crush on you. I promise you, if I didn't stop you, hell would have broken loose, and devoured all of us. Now if you want to talk about girls, talk to Mary, or Karen...maybe Popuri during the summer, everyone else is head over heels in love with you."

"I see what you mean, Doug...thanks." I said smiling "I'll keep that in mind.

POV: Nami, Spring the 5th

I looked at my watch. "11:47...perfect" I looked up at the beautiful moon. "It's perfect to go to the hot springs tonight. I walked out of the rowdy Inn, which was always rowdy at night, and outside toward the hot springs. Outside of the Inn it's a much different story, everything is so quiet, you could hear your heartbeat if it wasn't for the animals always making noise.

Reaching the hotsprings, I looked around and started to undress, before quickly going behind the screen and jumping into the hotspring.

"Ah..." I said contently, sinking into the warm water.

I liked it here...alot, I might stay longer than two weeks. The people are actually bearable, Karen and Mary especially. That Jack guy wasn't half bad either...He was always around though, and I always put on a cold shoulder. "I'm not going to let him get close to me." I said defiantly, and sunk beneath the warm water, letting it soothe my muscles.

I arose from underneath the water, and to my surprise, I saw someone else jumping into the hottub. Too embarassed to scream, I covered myself, and scooted into the corner.

"Ahhhh" The figure said "After a long days work it feels good to relax." It was Jack's voice, speak of the Devil.

"...Jack?" I asked.

"Agh! Nami I'm so sorry!" Jack said, making a fuss, and splashing me with water.

"Just close your eyes, and let me get out. Thanks for ruining my evening." I said angrily.

"...Nami...I...okay." He had such a look of hurt in his eyes, before covering them with his hands, as I stepped out of the hottub, and put my clothes back on.

"You should really ask if anyone is in there before jumping in." I scoffed.

"I did ask...you were underwater." Jack said.

"Oh..."

"Yeah..."

"Look, I'm sorry I've been a bitch."

"No, it's okay...you haven't been."

"Jack, why do you insist on being so nice to me?" I thought back to the past few days, of him being everywhere and always, always smiling.

"I don't know...I find you interesting." I could see him blushing even in the moonlight.

I sighed...I shouldn't even be talking this much to him. I sat down, and put my feet in the water.

-

A few hours later, Jack and I were still talking.

"I'm not fishing for compliments or anything like that, Jack...but why do you find me interesting?" I asked in my usually depressing voice.

"Well..." He blushed, which was a little cute."You know exactly what you want, and you're not afraid to get it, you speak your mind, and to top it all off...you're beautiful."

"...You know, I can make up random shit on the spot too." I said a bit pissed off.

"I deserved that...I do want to get to know you...you intrigue me, Nami." He said quiestly, as he placed his hand on mine, gazing into my eyes...He smiled a little "Nami, you're blushing."

"Jack...I..." stuttered, as I gazed at him, he certainly was...hot...I guess that's what a girl would usually say in this situation, as I stared at him in the hottub. "Uah!" I exclaimed, standing up, and running away...I couldn't do this, I couldn't get close to anyone ever again.

-

I ran for what seemed like an enternity, until I reached the Inn, the only person up at this hour was Doug, I couldn't let him see me crying, so I hid my face...I slammed open the door to my room, and cried on my bed, I wasn't going to see him tommorrow, I can't let him know that I have a small, meaningless feeling for him, I needed a day to just cry..."Where's my razor?" I asked to no one in particular when I noticed it was missing, I searched frantically, it turned out behind the bed.

I felt the hot tears again slide down my face, as the razor dug itself into my skin.

POV: Karen

I sipped my hot coffee, I couldn't sleep the beautiful night, so many things were on my mind. "When was Popuri's birthday, did I over feed the chickens, and how long had it been since I've seen Jack this happy?

"I need to go for a walk, I can't sit still." I sighed, and stood up.

After walking for a few minutes on the nature trail, I heard the sound of someone chopping wood...at 4 in the morning.

"Speak of the Devil, Jack I was just thinking about you." I said smiling, and walking up to him. What's wrong Hulk?" I asked sarcastically.

"Nami." He took a big swing at the tree. "Is." another swing. "Pissed." another swing, getting his axe stuck in the tree.

"What did you do this time?" I sighed.

"I told her she intrigued me...and then I took her hand in mine." He said leaning against the tree, and sinking down into a sitting position.

"Ooo, bad move there, Nami doesn't seem to be the type of girl who likes being touched."

"I know...I shouldn't have done that." there was an awkward silence. "Say, Karen...why do you think she's like that...depressed and what not?"

"Why don't you let her tell you when she feels up to it?"

"Alright...DAMN!" He exclaimed loudly, and without warning.

"Woah, woah, woah, what's wrong?"

"I promised Elli I would take her on a pic-nic tommorrow."

I started to laugh, "See what happens when you get yourself involved with two women?"

"Calm down, it was just a joke...look the Spring Goddess Festival is coming up soon, why don't you just..." I bent down to whisper the rest in his ear, him and Nami would be hooked up in no time!

Did you like it? Hate it? I'm trying to develop the characters a bit more...hopefully I'm still sticking to the personalities they had in the game. That's the end of Chapter Two, Chapter Three will be up very, very soon. Reviews would be appreciated, good or bad. -Management.
