Chapter 3: Spring Day 3

A/N: Sorry, change of plans. Each chapter will be one day.

Jack woke up drowsy from last night's encounter with the girls. He rubbed his eyes and stared at his clock, '5:30 a.m it read, he woke up a bit early. He thought that since he was already up, he might as well start working. He walked outside his door and his eyes shot open at the blaze that was right in front of him.

"What in the world!" he yelled out and rushed towards the kitchen.

"Oh no, budum," said a small voice.

Jack shook his head, "I must be hearing things," he looked down and saw a little person, "Oh and I must be seeing things too…"

The little creature faced Jack, "Oh please Jack help!"

"How do you know my name?" Jack asked bending down towards the little creature.

"Never mind that budum! Your sister is in big trouble…budum!" the little creature frantically waved his arms and then pointed towards the smoke.

"Oh yeah I forgot about that!" and Jack ran towards the inferno.

"Ugh…" was what he heard among the smoke. He recognized it and ran towards the moaning.

"Jane!" he yelled out. He was panicking, this was bad.

Suddenly he heard from a distance, "WE'RE GOING IN!"

The voice was feminine, and very familiar, he ignored it, "Crazy town folk probably," he mumbled as he rushed his sister out.

But then as he emerged from the smoke, he felt very cold water splash on his face, "Ahh!" he yelled out almost dropping his sister.

"Oh sorry Jack…" said the girl, Jack rubbed his eyes and looked at the girl. It was Ann.

"It's ok….What are you doing here anyways?" he asked after placing his sister on the floor.

"We saw the fire and rushed over here."

"Ok," he then frowned and turned to his sister, she made a noise and opened her eyes.

"What just happened?" she asked getting up.

"There was a fire budum," said the small creature in a red suit.

"Oh hey Chef," Jane said waving.

"Jane I told you to be careful budum," he said.

"Sorry," she said sighing.

"What were you doing?" Jack asked. It was strange for there to be a fire, and who was that little creature that she called Chef?

"Oh, I was cooking…"

Jack jumped and a sweat drop appeared on his face, "Oh…" he scratched his head, "Don't you remember what happened last time?"

Jane closed her eyes, she remembered all right. That was a strange day in the city. She tried to make breakfast for the family when she was ten. But it didn't work out too well and they had to call the fire department. Poor sis, she still can't cook.

"Sorry," she mumbled.

Ann looked concerned, she turned to Jack who was frowning and he sighed. She did too, "OK I think I'll go now…"

But Jack stopped her from going, he grabbed her arm and her cheeks grew warm, "Wait Ann," he began and his eyes softened. She sighed dreamily and nodded, he smiled, "Please stay, I want to thank you with some pancakes!"

She smiled, but then frowned when she glanced at the kitchen, "But your kitchen…"

Jack turned to it and frowned, "Oh yeah…I think I'll go order a new one later, sorry Ann."

"It's ok," she said and waved good bye to Jack and a sleepy Jane.

Jack's POV

Once Ann left I sighed again and reached for the handkerchief on my neck. I wet it using the water hole near our farm and placed it on her head, "Wipe your face and get up."

She got surprised from the cold water, "Hey! You meany!" she then wiped her face quickly threw the handkerchief at my face. At this point I would've been steamed and killed my sister, she was really stubborn at times. But that was just how she was, and I love her that way.

I then looked at the time, how strange after all this time in here, it still is 6:00, its like times stops here. I then faced my sister who was pouting at the mess she created, and I sighed. Damn, I thought that we could've kept our other kitchen, but now I have to order another one.

"Sorry," she mumbled again. I placed my hand on my face and sighed, "It's ok," I said and she smiled.

"It's a good thing Ann came," Jane said with a smile about a couple of seconds later.

I nodded as Chef waved at us. Jane hired him to water our crops which is a good thing since we have so many. So now we planned that she was helping the animals and so I went off to collect grasses and ship them…

Jane's POV:

This cow is so cute! In about one more day she can produce milk for our farm.

Now that I was done with her, I went to my chicken coop. I planted a egg in the incubator so we can have more chickens. I plan to call it Jack, after Jack. I feel so bad about this morning. Now we have to spend 4,000 gold to get a new kitchen. I'm so glad he isn't mad.

After I placed the egg in the incubator, I hugged my precious chicken and left. Outside I saw Rick, Popuri's brother.

"Um, hello?" I greeted him and cautiously approached him. He seemed nice and he also liked chickens like me. But then again I love all animals.

"Hello, is this your chicken coop?" he asked.

"Of course," what a strange question, it was on my farm so of course it's mine.

"That's nice, this coop is pretty good."

"But we only have one chicken," what was his problem? Why does he want to know so much.

He smiled and walked away, "Wait!" I called out.

He turned, "What?"

"Why are you here?"

He blushed a bit, that was strange, "I heard about you from Gray."

My cheeks went a bit pink when he mentioned the name, "Oh…"

"He said that you guys where the new farmers so I wanted to pay a visit," he smiled wider, "Ok then, bye."

I waved bye to him and left to the beach to pick up the grasses there…

Jack's POV:

The forest here is pretty small but I was able to find some grasses. That was good, each of these would make a good one hundred. I then walked up to the entrance of the hot springs. There was a mine there so I decided to go there. In side I got two silver ores and when I left I found Popuri and Ann.

"Hey Jack," Ann greeted with a smile. I smiled back she was nice, and also Popuri. Popuri was kind of too happy, but that was okay.

"What are you doing here?" Popuri asked.

Ann rolled her eyes and pointed to the grasses in my hand and the ore sticking out of my rucksack. Popuri went a little red, "Oh…"

"It's ok," I replied and I placed the grass in my hand inside my bag. Then a flower appeared from my bag. Oh yeah, I remember getting that…

I then turned to Ann and Popuri who were staring at the falls. I planned to give the flower to Ann for thanks from this morning.

So I walked up to her with the flower and when I was to offer it I tripped and it fell into the water. Suddenly a green haired maiden came from the water, is she the famous Harvest Goddess?

"Thank you?"

"Jack."

"Thank you Jack. I liked this offering," she smiled at me and disappeared.

I then turned to Ann who was still staring at the falls, "Did you see that?"

"What?" I guess she didn't see it.

"Never mind," I then took another grass and left to my farm to ship it.

As I placed the stuff inside to ship it, I saw Popuri near my chicken coop, "Oh hey Popuri."

She smiled and I swear her cheeks were a little pink, "Your chicken coop looks really cute."

Cute? Well I guess she can say that, "Thanks."

Can you tour me around the farm?" she asked. I guess I could. I assume that Jane went to ship several things and so I said yes.

After an hour of showing her things, she left and waved bye. I sighed, man she sure does love to talk about chicken. So since it was pretty late I decided to kill the weeds and wait for sis to come back…

Jane's POV:

The grasses were in my bag and I left to buy some flour for the harvest sprites. Inside the super mart I greeted Karen.

"Hey Karen," I said.

She smiled at me, "Hey how are you Jane? How's Jack?"

"Jack?" I wonder why she asks about him, well she must be really nice then.

"He's good," I said with a smile and paid for the seven flour.

"That's good," she said and he face went a little red, "Tell him I said hi!"

"Ok," I smiled wider; I think Karen likes my little brother!

After taking the gifts to the harvest sprites they thanked me. They were so cute, and really small too, it's nice to have them assist me on the farm. Yeah, just me and Jack working on the farm.

As I walked back to the farm I heard commotion from the clinic or hospitel, man, is that how you really spell it?

I walked inside, oh my gosh, I saw Elli there and she was sad, "What happened?"

She turned to me and sighed, "Oh, Jack just worked himself too much," she then walked me over to his bed.

"Hey Jane," he said in a tired voice.

I turned to his side to see Zack, he looked concerned, "Oh hey Jane, I found him collapsed in his field."

I stared at the panting and tired Jack, he was blue. I then turned to the doctor. He seemed pretty young for a doctor.

He looked at me, "you're his sister am I correct?'

"Yeah," I then looked at Jack. Man, he should do the easy stuff tomorrow; he's been working too hard lately. But I am extremely grateful.

So before I walked out, Elli presented to me a bodigizer and turbojolt for Jack.

"Just in case you know," she smiled and was blushing a bit, "I get concerned when people of the town come here, and that includes you and Jack.

The doctor came up beside her, "Oh yeah, do you want me to check you too?"

I shook my head, "No, I should be getting home soon."

He smiled, "Ok, be careful though!"

I waved good bye to the two and walked home and went to bed…
