A/N: Thanks for the reviews!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything

Jack's PoV:

It has been a couple of days since I've last passed out. Elli was nice enough to offer me some medicine, but I declined, I should pay for it since they always help me. I'm also lucky Jane has been there. Ever since I first fainted, she's been helping a lot more. Also, Chef Bold and Aqua are working with us. So everything seemed to be alright.

This morning when I woke up, I looked at the calendar. Hmm, it's thanksgiving eh?

I walked out to our new kitchen, it was growing pretty well. We now have a rolling pin, oven and seasoning set. Which was really convenient for today.

I turned on the tv to see that tomorrow was nice and sunny. I also watched the news to see that we had to give cookies. I knew it, I guess I should make some for Jane when she wakes up. Also maybe some for the other girls too.

Lately, I have been visiting almost every place everyday. I went to the library to read some good books. Now I'm not that much of a bookish type, but when I need it, I love to read a nice horror/humor/romance story. I was also becoming friends with Mary. She seemed to like vegetable juice. Well who doesn't? That stuff is great!

Sometimes, Jane comes with me. She likes to read sometimes, she also likes to talk to that Gray guy. He seems really nice, and she seems comfortable around him which is great! She likes his hat, she thinks its cute. Jane thinks a lo of things are cute.

Also I've paid a couple of visits to the super market. I am good friends with Jeff and Sasha. Sasha told me a good recipe for chocolate cookies! I decide to use it today, but besides that, I think I'm a frequent buyer. I also enjoy to talk to Karen, she's nice at times, she seems to like bamboo shoots.

Anyways, I also visit the inn. I like to buy food there, it helps my stamina and fatigue when I'm a bit tired. Jane also comes with me. She visits Gray and talks to Cliff too. Cliff is also new, he doesn't seem so bad. Me, I talk to Ann while I eat. She is also really nice. She seems like a tomboy which is pretty cool! I don't like to have too many girly girls around.

Recently we got two more chickens. Popuri and Rick come to check on them and we have a little chat. They really like chickens…hehe.

Now my first batch of cookies are finished. I turned to see that my sister has finally awoken. I smiled at her, "Happy thanksgiving sis!"

She smiled back and yawned, she still must be tired. She then grabbed a cookie and her eyes lit up, "Oh my gosh these are so good!" she continued to nibble on it.

"Well its thanksgiving, so the guys have to give girls cookies. But only if they want," she smiled at me. Then it faded and she blushed.

"Every boy?"

I nodded, and then I smirked, "Oh, Gray is probably going to come eh?" but then I paused, "But wait, you made friends with all the guys right?"

"Yeah," she then looked down.

"Oh yay, you are going to get a lot of cookies!"

"Yeah."

She finished eating and went outside to check on the animals. I stayed in here and finished up the cookies.

Jane's POV:

Wow, I get cookies today. But probably only from Gray, he is the closest friend I have here besides Karen.

I walked over to the barn and milked Coco Moo and Bessie. I pulled out my brush and brushed the too and also our sheep named Khas.

When I shipped the milk, I left outside to see Gray, "Hey," I said and walked up to him.

He blushed slightly, "Um, happy thanksgiving," and he presented cookies. I smiled, "Thanks."

He smiled and said, "No problem," he was really shy and kind. I bring him ore everyday, I also give some to Saibara, he's pretty nice when you get to know him.

I waved at Gray as he walked away, he's really nice and I think I may be beginning to like him.

After I left to ship the honey and went to talk to my chickens. They were so cute! I then placed their feed there and hugged them one more time.

I left outside and saw Rick at our door, "Hey," I called out and he turned to me with a slight grin and pinkish face. I too went a little red.

"Um.." he stuttered a bit and walked up to me. I was surprised to see a plate of cookies in his hands, "Happy thanksgiving!"

I smiled slightly; I didn't like him that much, just as friends. I guess he thinks that we're good friends. Well that's ok, its nice to have more friends than in the city. That was a strange and horrible experience. I coughed a bit, "Um, thanks," he smiled at me and waved. That was a little strange, but yay I get more cookies!

Jack's POV:

Finally, I wiped the sweat from my forehead; man did I spend a long time on these cookies. I hope Jane doesn't mind. I wrapped all of the cookies and placed them in my rucksack. I then stepped outside eyes closed as the wind went through my hair. I sighed, this is nice and relaxing.

When I opened my eyes I saw a familiar face. I scanned him and he apparently is the doctor. I should thank him, but he creeped me out. I took examinations once in a while after speaking with Elli and getting bodigizer. He always scared me and I rarely saw him smile. That was until today.

"Hey Jack," he said, "Where's Jane?"

I shrugged and left to look for her in the barn. She was eating cookies peacefully after milking the cow, "Jane," I said and she looked up with a cookie in her mouth.

"What?" she replied with it mumbled because there was still food in her mouth.

"Doctor's here, he has cookies for you," I twitched my eyebrow, where did all those cookies come from, "Have you been flirting with the guys?"

She blushed and shook her head, "Of course not, I do the same thing as you, talk and sometimes give gifts that happen to be in my bag."

She had a point, I did do the same thing. I sighed, "Ok, just go outside he has more cookies for you."

She smiled, "Yay!"

I watched as she walked out, it was strange how she already did all the work and still had time to eat cookies. Man my big sister has a lot of energy.

I walked outside and heard my sis and doctor conversing. I couldn't believe my eyes, doctor was actually smiling. She was laughing and I glared at his freaky smiling face. Man was she popular.

I then shrugged it off and walked to give the cookies to the girls…

Jane's POV:

Wow, that was strange; I had a really nice conversation with Doctor. Although even with the cookies, he still creeps me out. Sorry doctor but you just aren't my type. I shrugged and left to share my cookies with the harvest sprites.

"These are good, budum," Chef said happily eating.

Aqua and Timid agreed, man for guys they are almost as good of cooks as my brother. I smiled and then I saw Cliff walking to my house, "hey," I said and walked up to him. Goodie, he had cookies.

"Happy Thanksgiving," he said shyly and gave me the cookies.

I smiled and thanked him, I only expected Gray to come but wow this was awesome. So many cookies!

Jack's POV:

Man, Mary likes cookies a lot. I just gave them to her and she went all red. I never knew she liked sweets.

Today was pretty rough, I give girls the cookies and they make a huge fuss over it. They talked for a long time. Jeez almost as bad as Mana. I mean, I know they're nice and all but its just cookies!

I stared at the last batch in my hands, sighing almost expecting the same thing from Karen.

When I entered I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulders.

"Oh…Hi," she said. She blushed a bit, "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

I smiled, "happy thanksgiving," she was a little shocked, and her face went red.

"Thank you," she said her face was red. Aww man not again, although I don't mind Karen that much, she's really nice well when she wants to and fun to talk to when she's drunk.

"No problem," I said, my cheeks got a little hot. I wonder why? She was just a friend right? Well, I think I may be growing a little crush, but it's not that bad.

As I exited the room, Karen stopped me, "Um," she started, I was wondering what can she want now?

"You do know what it means when you give them cookies."

"Well that you like them right? I like you, you're a nice person," I smiled and she sighed, oops wrong answer.

"Never mind then," she slightly closed the door, "Good bye."

When I arrived home my sis was still munching on cookies, "Man did like every guy give you cookies?"

She nodded, "Well the ones our age."

My jaw dropped slightly, but then I placed it back on. It was no big deal right?

I turned on the tv and watched it again, the details about the cookies, but then it said that it was for those special girls. Damn, I am so stupid!
