Chapter 2: Sleepover

Disclaimer: No, Harvest Moon isn't mine :'(…

Jack walked in after the girls and left to the kitchen as Jane led them into the living room.

Jack stared at what he had. He and his sister brought food, and this kitchen is new. He only had the frying pan, mixer and oven and also the pot. He stared into the fridge scanning it checking what everyone would want. He then took out the egg, cheese, milk, turnip, and some corn from his city home. He sighed; this sure did take some stuff from their first day. Tomorrow he knew that he had to work really hard to catch up.

Meanwhile in the living room the girls were telling Jane all about the guys in the town.

"Well, my favorite is Kai, although he only comes in summer, I really miss him sometimes," Popuri said frowning.

"Oh I see, he must be your boyfriend if you miss him that much," Jane replied comforting Popuri.

Popuri instantly turned red and shook her head, "Oh no," she continued to shake her head and tried to turn away from the others, "No, no…I don't feel too much for him…"

The other girls in the town smirked, "Sure…" they all remarked at the same time.

"Shut up!" Popuri yelled in annoyment.

"Well who else is there?" Jane asked turning to Mary who was playing with her hair.

"Why are you asking her?" Karen asked. She closed her eyes and shrugged, "No offence to the boys but they never go to the library!"

Mary shook her head slowly, "No, Gray sometimes goes to the library…"

Jane's ears twitched when she heard his name, "Oh, he didn't seem like the bookish type, he seems like the tough guy…"

"Oh," Mary replied continuing to play with her hair.

"Well you sure don't know him, remember," Ann responded.

"Don't judge a book by its cover," Karen commented rolling her eyes, "Ann and her quotes, man how many times have we heard them?"

"About a million, probably!" Popuri said laughing and Ann stuck out her tongue.

"No, it was only 5…" Mary said so quietly that only Jane heard.

Jane smiled, "Then what is he really like?"

"Well…" Mary began.

"He is sensitive and likes making stuff," Ann began.

"Saibara is his grandpa," Karen pointed out.

"Really? They were fighting…" Jane said remembering before.

"They do that a lot," Mary said, "But Gray just wants to get better."

"Aww, you like him don't you Mary?" Popuri asked and the other girls raised their eyebrows.

"You're kidding, don't worry Mary, Popuri just has problems," Karen said.

Jane smiled, "Ok then, um who was that guy at the chicken place?"

"Oh," Karen began, "He's Rick, he's a childhood friend."

"And," Popuri added, "He's my brother."

Jane nodded, "Ok then, and is that it?"

"Oh wait! Who's the guy at the inn? Ann's boyfriend? The other new guy?" Karen said smiling.

"Hey!" Ann said smacking Karen and missing, "He is so not my boyfriend! The one with the boyfriend is Elli! She and the doctor!"

"What!" Elli yelled out.

"Oh nothing," Ann said laughing.

"His name is Doctor?" Jane asked.

"Yeah," they all said.

Jane laughed, "That's strange…But you know you guys are funny! I'm not used to being around people; I always thought they were like…them…"

"Who?" Mary asked.

"Oh nothing…" there was an awkward silence when Jack came in with dishes for everyone.

"Oh, hey brother," Jane said and embraced her brother.

"Hey Jane, oh and everyone here's something for each of you," he smiled at them and laid down different dishes for each of them.

"Wow," Ann said licking her lips while staring at the cheese fondue in front of her.

"How did you know that I liked stuff like this?" Karen said a bit pink and smiling at her popcorn.

"Oh, yay! Scrambled eggs!" Popuri exclaimed starting to eat.

"Oh, thanks, vegetable juice," Mary said smiling.

"Wow, hot milk, I love this!" Elli exclaimed in excitement.

Every girl looked up at Jack in awe, "Jack, how did you know?" Karen said first.

"I don't know, lucky guess," he said smiling and sat down next to Karen, he and Jane smiled at each other as the other girls ate.

As the girls ate, Jane told Jack about the other guys, "Oh and I already told you about my bump into Gray."

Jack nodded and then he turned to Karen, "Oh and I told you about my bump into Karen too right?"

Jane smiled and giggled a bit, "That was funny!"

Karen heard this and turned red and so did jack. Popuri and the other girls lit up, "What happened?" they all said at the same time.

Karen and Jack looked at each other and turned red again, "Uh," they both muttered, "I don't really want to…" They trailed off embarassment showing all over their faces.

Jane smiled, "Then I'll tell!" She exclaimed the girls looking at her with a smile.

Jack turned white, "Uh, then I'm going to take a shower…" and he rushed into the bathroom.

"Ok so the story is that Jack went to the springs to relax and then he heard Karen here and got worried," she began.

"Aww, he was worried," Popuri said smiling.

"Ok and then, he got up to talk to her but then after talking for a while they realized that Jack only had a towel on."

All the girls gasped and Karen turned even redder, Ann smirked and looked at Karen, "OH, how did he look?"

Jane sensed that they were going to talk about her brother so she sighed and went to her room.

The girls stared at Karen waiting for a reply, Karen frowned and sighed, "Ok fine…He was…hot."

They all smiled, "Oh Karen has a new boyfriend!" Popuri said giggling.

"I never had a boyfriend, and I just met him!"

"He still is better than Rick," Popuri pointed out.

"Yeah," the other girls agreed.

"Is it getting warm in here or what?" Elli pointed out and turned to see someone amongst some kind of steam. It was someone pretty tall and about the same age as them.

"Oh hey you guys," the person greeted and it turned out to be Jack. The girls stared in awe and he said, "Is there something on my face?" he was again, only in his towel, and this time without his hat.

Jane came in and saw this and pulled her brother back into his room, "Ok girls, show's over!" she smiled uneasily and Jack waved bye to the girls.

The girls looked at each other and then at Karen, "We see now…"

Karen was red all over, hehe, deja-vu.

"Ok girls, see you tomorrow," Jane said waving bye.

The girls waved bye and left.

Outside the girls spoke of Jack, "He is hot," Ann pointed out.

"It isn't nice to talk about him behind his back," Mary pointed out and Elli nodded.

"She's right," Karen said still red.

"Oh, you're saying that because you like him," Popuri said.

Karen turned tomato red, "Not!"

All the girls laughed, "But you know, I kind of like him too," Ann said and all the girls froze.

"What about Cliff?" Karen asked.

Ann said, "We never were that close."

All the other girls looked at each other, "He is nice, and cute," Elli said blushing.

"I kind of like him too."

"Same," Popuri said, and they all glared at each other, "HE'S MINE!"

Karen sighed, "Oh no, what just happened…"

A/N: Ok that was short I know. And so the next chapter we'll finish off spring and half of fall.
