Chapter 2

Cliff walked around the town thinking about what had happened to him. Ann had asked to just be friends with him so she had obviously found someone else. He thought that it was Jack. Ann had always liked Jack it wouldn't be so much of a surprise if she had fallen in love with him. Cliff walked onto the no longer owned by Jack farm. Cliff figured he should probably get to know the new farmer.

Cliff saw a young woman who slightly resembled Karen. She had the same light brown shade of hair that Karen had accept it was a fair amount longer and smoother and those two streaks of blond hair at her bangs. She had a bright shade of emerald for her eyes. She had a light blue long sleeved shirt on with a dark blue miniskirt that went down to her knees.

" Hello," Cliff said already love stricken by the beautiful young woman in front of him.

Melissa turned around and saw Cliff. " Hello you must be Cliff Karen told me about you," Melissa said.

" How do you know Karen?" Cliff asked.

" I thought she told everyone already. I'm her cousin," Melissa stated. Cliff was shocked sure she kind of resembled Karen, but he had no idea that Karen had a cousin.

" Okay then I guess I don't have to introduce myself," Cliff said as he grinned and scratched the back of his head, " I decided to drop by to greet the newcomer." Melissa gave him a smile and went back to work with Jack who was planting in one of the fields near the chicken coop. Cliff decided that this was a good time to leave.

Cliff started to walk to Aja's Winery. So many thoughts were crossing his mind. He thought he loved Ann, but know all he could think about was Melissa.

Jack walked into the inn and got a big hug from Ann as his greeting. Jack let off a big smile.

" I'm glad to see you too!" he exclaimed.

" So is your new job working out?" Ann asked him.

" Yeah I am sure making a lot of money. Melissa is taking great care of the farm and she isn't even bothering the Harvest sprites at all! Well maybe that's because I'm working for her," Jack told Ann.

" Probably," Ann said. Jack started walking toward his room when Ann noticed he was leading a mud trail. " I suggest you take a shower."

" That might be a good idea," Jack said as a faint shade of red formed on his cheeks. While Jack was taking a shower he thought. He was falling in love with Ann rapidly, but he didn't know if she loved him that much. Jack decided not to propose to her yet, he would make their relationship stronger and then maybe he would propose. Jack got out of the shower and dried himself off. Within minutes he was dressed and back downstairs.

" What's the inn specialty dinner tonight?" Jack asked Ann.

" Top Sirloin steak with mashed potatoes, vegetables, buttered bread, and salad," Ann answered.

" I'll order that," Jack said simply.

" How do you want your steak sir?" Ann asked as if she was a waitress at a fancy restaurant. Jack chuckled at the small joke.

" Medium-well will be fine," Jack said. The steak took a while to cook, but Jack waited patiently until it was finished. Ann brought to the table one plate with the steak, mashed potatoes and vegetables and the other with the salad and buttered bread along with an Italian dressing on the side.

" Enjoy," Ann said. Jack ate with manners in front of Ann even though he was ravenous. When he was done he asked Ann to come with him to his room for a moment.

" Sure," Ann answered as she followed Jack up to his room. Once they were inside Jack started a conversation.

" You know of Mineral City right?" Jack asked.

" You mean the city 60 miles from here that has movies, shows, and fancy restaurants?" Ann asked.

" Yes," Jack answered.

" Yeah I know of it," Ann said, she always wanted to visit Mineral City.

" I was wondering if you would come with me to Mineral City in two days? We would be staying there for one week. I already have reservations at a hotel," Jack told Ann. Ann was speechless she had always wanted to go to Mineral City and now she would be able to go for a whole week! Not only that, but she was going with Jack!

" Of course I'll go with you!" Ann answered trying to control her excitement. " I better go tell my dad. As Ann ran down the stairs into the main room Jack grinned to himself. He was so happy Ann actually said yes. Jack picked up Fudge and started to pet him.

" I'm sure Doug will feed you while I'm gone," Jack whispered in his dogs ear. He put Fudge down and walked downstairs. Ann ran up to him with a wide smile over her face.

" He said I could go with you!" Ann said enthusiastically.

" Great!" Jack answered. Jack walked toward Doug.

" Can you feed Fudge while I'm gone?" Jack asked him.

" Sure," Doug answered. After all the organizing Jack decided it was time to go to bed after all he'd better get a lot of sleep in these two nights before he went to Mineral City. Jack closed his eyes and immediately was dreaming.

Ann was in her room full of energy. She couldn't get to sleep so she started packing up her things. The door opened and Doug walked in.

" Take this," Doug said as he handed Ann a camera, " I want to know if the rumors about Mineral City are true so do me a favor and take lots of pictures."

" Okay," Ann said as she took the camera and stuffed it in her suitcase. Doug walked out of the room leaving Ann by herself again.

After packing for about an hour she decided to go to sleep. Ann got in her bed and tried to fall asleep, but it wasn't that easy. Eventually Ann fell asleep. She dreamed she was looking at Mineral City from a distance at night. The whole city was lit up in different colors. Next to Ann sat someone. Next to Ann was Jack.
