Jack yawned as the sun shone through the small window, waking him. He stretched and quickly ate his rice ball, he really wanted to water his seeds so he could get some more fish. As Jack walked out of his house, he saw a strange man standing in front of his house, wearing a tan hat and looking at the slightly growing plants.
"Hi! You must be Jack. I'm a botanist. Actually, my wife and daughter own the flower shop, but I travel most of the year." He greeted. Jack opened his mouth to answer but he was cut off as Popuri walked onto his farm.
"Dad!" She smiled sweetly, and Jack smiled to himself as her father walked over to her and lifted her up, jumping happily.
"Oh Popuri, my sweet beautiful daughter." He cried. She scowled slightly at him.
"Come on dad, I'm not a little kid anymore, stop it!" She cried, he set her on her feet and he smiled sweetly.
"Moms waiting for you, you should go on home." She reminded him as Jack watched silently.
"Oh! You're right! I'm on my way!" The botanist walked away, with his daughter following until she turned to look at Jack.
"My father knows a lot about plants, feel free to ask him any questions." She said, and waved as a farewell. Jack just laughed silently to himself and turned to watering his plants. He put food in the dog dish and ran out to the mountains, ready to catch some fish for a fast profit. As he entered, he saw Jeff fishing out of a small stream, and Elle standing nearby. Jack walked over and sat next to Jeff.
"Hey Jack! They're biting really well!" Jeff said.
"So I see." Jack cast his line out and a minute later he was pulling a large blue fish out of the water.
"Wow Jack! You're really good at this." Jeff said in awe, watching Jack pull several more large fish out, along with a few medium ones. Jack just shrugged and grinned. He had a good pile, so he walked over to Elle and handed her a large fish.
"Wow, thank you so much! I love this!" Elle cried.
"It's worth it to see you smile." Jack winked, and she blushed and knelt next to a small box on the ground.
"I made you some cookies, hope you work hard!" Elle said, handing him the box. He thanked her and noted the setting sun, he should get home soon. He waved farewell to the two and went home, wondering what might happen the next day.
Jack was getting used to the sun waking him up in the morning. He smiled sleepily against the glare, and when he was fully awake he counted his money. He had enough to buy some grass seeds.
"Hi-Ho!" A familiar voice called as he walked outside. Popuri was standing there, and she handed him a bar of chocolate.
"Thought you might like this, well, see you later." She said, and he waved as he walked over to his almost ready to harvest turnip plants with his watering can. He smiled as he watched his dogs chase a bug that seemed to like taunting him.
"I'll go fishing." He said to himself, walking out to town square to give Elle another fish from yesterday and to buy some more seeds.
"Thank you!" Elle said as he handed her the fish, and he smiled.
"Are you doing anything tonight? I want to watch the moon from the mountain." Jack said, and she blushed.
"Sure." She murmured softly. He grinned at her and Jeff looked over with a strange look.
"Ok, meet me here at six then." Jack smiled and she waved as he exited the bakery. He almost skipped over to the stream where he was going to fish. The first date! Jack smiled and hummed as he had semi good luck with fishing. After a little while, the sun started to set, and Jack smiled as he ran to his house to drop off the fish.
At six, Elle was waiting for him outside. She handed him another box of cookies, and he thanked her. He held out his hand.
"Well, shall we?" She nodded, still red, and let him lead her by the hand to the mountains.
