Are You Saying I Can Dodge Marriage? by Ziggyme
Part 1: Prologue
Are you saying I can dodge marriages?" A Harvest Moon: FOMT Fanfic by yours truly.
Jack slowly packed up. It hadn't worked out. His boss had fired him. But, on the plus side, some old geezer that he had gotten in good with had died. And since Jack had sucked up to the old *******, Jack got his farm. With that in mind, he packed up and headed for this place called "Mineral Town".
---
On the road Jack thought about what happened in the last town, and what mistakes he had made. He probably should never have gotten hitched with the daughter of the boss. Lousy *****. She married him, she bore one of his children, then she divorced and took half of his large sum of money and lived in one of those million-dollar-per-night suites. Then his dad took all his money because he "couldn't be trusted". And it was all a scam. But he mustn't think this way of these "Friends of Mineral Town".
He slowly trudged towards the town. He would act cordial to these folk. He wouldn't get married by a long shot. All he would get would be some girl nagging him, slowly growing old and fat. She would prohibit him from doing fun things like say, getting drunk. Then she would have a kid. The kid would be whiny and complain and he would have to pump cash into the little brat. But he would be cordial. He would be friendly even. He would be nice to these people and they would be nice to him. Or at least he hoped.
To Be Continued!
Meh, no one insulted the first, so, here is the continuation.
"Are you telling me I can dodge marriage?" Part 2: Introductions
Jack slowly lumbered up to the farm, it had been a tiring day so he went to sleep in his bed which was his and not, say, someone else's'. He woke up the next morning to find the mayor at the door.
"Hello, my names is Thomas, I am the mayor of this town."
Jack just nodded. His caffeine level was low.
"Want me to show you around town?"
Jack nodded again out of instinct, and before he knew what was happening, he was out the door and Thomas was leading him to all manner of shops.
"Here is the chicken shop, it is call-" And before the mayor finished the sentence, Jack was asleep. He continued asleep until they moved on, then he went back into the land of slumber. He finally came to when he got back to the farm. He thanked the mayor for giving him the tour and he got some coffee into his bloodstream.
---
When Jack is actually awake
---
Jack walked through the town. Apparently some guy on steroids was willing to pay big bucks for all items. But he mainly dished out cash for crops. With that in mind, Jack went into the grocery store. He picked up some seeds and turned to go, but before he could he left he saw some babe just standing around. He introduced himself and gave the gal a flower. Then he walked away, he wanted to be in good standing with everyone, so he gave a flower to some girl in overalls. Then it began to rain. He ducked into the nearest door and was led to some old woman knitting. Not wanting to seem rude he gave her a flower. The woman thanked him and she introduced herself as Ellen. The rain continued and Jack didn't want to risk his health, so he caught the woman in conversation.
"Well, the rain seems to be coming down, let me tell you a couple things about this town. I'm Ellen as I have stated previously. You seem new so I'll tell you a couple important things." Jack listened attentively as Ellen talked.
"Two others live in this house, Elli, a sweet girl, and Stu, a young boy. Elli works at the hospital so if you get sick, you will probably run into her. She is still single and I think she might be wanting a good strong man. I have a blue feather al-" And with that, Jack realized that this old woman wanted to set him up with her daughter, or however those two were related. He decided to take his chances with the rain, it seemed more friendly. And so he began running home through the pouring rain. However, rain is never a good thing to run in, so a few moments later, he found himself on the ground, lying in a puddle. He forgot he had used his hoe to make room for the seeds that morning, and when you work hard, you run out of energy. He had completely forgotten about that as he ran from the lady who was intent on betrothal. And now here he was, lying in the wet cold street. And with that, he knew no more.
---Continued
---Continuation
"Doctor, he's coming to."
Jack woke up. He was in the hospital. He saw a girl, who he presumed was Elli, the nurse. And he saw the doctor. He sat up and looked around to see the doctor come around to him.
"Hi, I'm the doctor here, you really worked yourself to the point of collapse didn't you? Well, you shouldn't work yourself too hard."
"Yeah, I gathered as much. Thank you for your help."
And Jack began walking away, when he noticed how the Doctor was looking at Elli.
"Hey, doc, I've seen that look before, you feel something for that girl?"
"What?!?!?!" The doctor said as he jumped in the air, embarrassed that someone found out at last." How did you know? I mean, no I'm not, er..."
And the doctor ran out of words.
"Look, doc, just tell her how you feel."
"No, she seems disinterested, like, she is seeing someone else, or something. If I ever ifind out if she is, I'll slaughter that man. I will. She is mine!" And then the doctor clammed up, mortified at the thought that she might have heard him. Jack slowly walked away, he didn't want to make the doctor more angry.
---
Well, here is more of my not yet complex tale.
---
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT fanfic, by yours truly.
---
Jack walked down the street, the doctor had just surpassed out. He figured he should stay healthy to avoid being back in there with that old lady trying to set him up with her daughter or however the relationship went. And then he saw two men who were yelling at each other, and although they hadn't moved on to hand-to-hand combat, it seemed that that was their goal. One seemed to be some pirate(Kai), the other, a chicken fanatic nerd with dorky glasses(Rick).
"Now, you stay clear of my sister, you will bring no good you filthy *******!"
"You overprotective son of *****. We are in love. I bet you have never felt it neither."
And Jack intervened, because he really didn't want to have a fight.
"Look fellas, break it up."
"Look, newcomer, I bet you are making eyes at my sis, hence why you come here, well I'll tell you, I'm watching you, and if you hurt her in any way, I will injure you beyond your feeble comprehension." Rick said, heated up from the battle with Kai.
Kai took Jack's advice and walked away.
Jack followed Kai to make sure Kai wouldn't threaten him also. Instead, he got an apology.
"Thanks, I've been chewed out before but this time was more heated than usual. I just love his sister. I can't explain it. It makes you do weird things. But Rick can't accept that."
"Don't worry, I feel your pain. I was already chewed out twice today, once by the doc, once by Rick."
"Oh, so you know what this town is like, eh?"
"So to speak, so, who is this girl you're interested in?"
"Popuri. I'm happy for once in my life, I pract-"
"OK, I get the point."
"Although, I'm willing to fight Rick if that is what it comes to."
"I'm sure it won't come to that."
And so they parted, Jack had found someone to sympathize with. He had finally found a friend, who, hopefully wouldn't chew him out.
Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT Fanfic, by yours truly.
---
Jack walked back home, pleased with the fact that he had found a friend. The trip was uneventful, except for Sebastian shouting that if he ever upset Ellen again, he would have to deal with his hammer in the face. But Jack ignored that. He didn't think that old Blacksmith would ever do something so violent. Then he forgot that he didn't buy seeds. Or chickens. He went into the chicken store, only to see some girl with pink hair greet him. He said "hi" friendly like, and gave the girl a flower. He then proceeded to the counter.
"Hello, I'd like to buy a chicken."
"Oh yes, that will be 500 gold."
"Certainly."
"Well, here is the chicken name it yourself, you seem to be a nice young man."
"Um, well, thanks, ma'am."
"Well, my daughter is still single, so if you need a wife or some-"
Jack ran from the store, catching the corner of his eye how Lillain was telling her daughter how nice he was. She had been talking to Ellen. He didn't need this, he put the chicken in the coop, fed it, and ran to buy seeds, hoping he ran into neither Ellen or Lillian. He got there safely, he entered and proceeded to the counter.
"Another one? Let me guess, you want a blue feather, right?"
"Um, no I just want some seeds."
"Oh, few, its a good thing, I had almost run out."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I have already had three purchases of blue feathers today."
"May I ask by whom?"
"Lessee, Ellen, Lillian, and Kai."
Jack had one of those anime sweat drops. He ran.
"Wait, aren't you going to buy something?"
And Jack ran back to his farm. He decided that he needed to take his mind of the possibilities that Ellen and Lillian were trying to betroth him. He fished. He was about to catch something, when he heard a yell from the front of his house. Lillian was there, and she had a blue feather. He ran from his bridge and back into town, there must be a place he could hide. Then it struck him like a cold sausage. The Library! Only complete nerds, completely out of tune with the rest of the world, went there! And so Jack ran to see if he could hide in the library.
---
Part 5: Plots can thicken? You liar!
---
Jack rushed into the library, his heart pounding. He only saw a girl with glasses, kinda nerdy, but she might be OK without the glasses. He greeted her, and gave her a flower. She seemed nice, she talked a lot about some guy, so he assumed that he wouldn't be betrothed to her. He was glad, out of all the others, she probably had the worse facial features. But he was cordial. Then he went upstairs and pretended to read.
---
After sitting there for five hours, Jack assumed that Lillian would've left his farm. He began heading downstairs. Until he heard voices.
"Oh, hi dad."
"Hi sweetheart. How was your day?"
"It was great, I met a really nice guy, his name is Jack, I think. He reads."
"Really? He must be your type."
"Yeah, he is he gave me this flower."
"Oh, that's nice, maybe I should set you two up?"
"What?"
"Oh, nothing, I just coughed."
And Jack had heard enough, he looked for an escape, he found none, except a second floor window.
"Well, why don't you introduce me to this nice young man?"
"OK, he is upstairs. I'll go get him."
And then Jack decided that he would rather take his chances with the 10 foot drop. He leapt.
---
And he woke up in the hospital. And he saw Elli and the good doctor. And then, as though somebody was really out to get him, Ellen entered, with her blue feather.
---
To be continued DUN DUN DUN
---
I'll just let it hang for a bit. Suspense is good when it builds.
---
Jack panicked. He was very close to getting betrothed and going down the whole wedding path again, assuming he could survive that long, with the good doctor and his threats. And as he freaked out, Ellen gave him the blue feather, it was too late.
The doctor was confused. Elli was overjoyed and gave Jack a kiss, Ellen hobbled away.
"Excuse me, I need to sit down for a bit, that's it, yeah, rest I need a rest." The doc said as he sat down, trying to figure how his girl had been taken by Jack.
Jack was shivering.
"I ah, I need to go home, long day and all." Jack said.
"Of course honey, when should the wedding be?"
"Uhm, I'll sleep on that." jack said as he rushed home.
---
Jack had fully intended to think about how to get out of this one when he got home. The actual result was he fell asleep on the floor. But, at least he couldn't get betrothed to that chicken lady, or the nerd. He was slightly reassured. Then he remembered the doc, and his threats.
---
With that thought, he came to. He woke up and drank the pot of coffee, he would need it. He then opened his front door, ready to take on the doctor, what he found was, Maria's Father?!?!?!?
"Hi, I thought it was really nice what you did yesterday. I thought I should thank you."
"Well I-"
"I couldn't think of anything, but since you did that act of kindness I'm guessing it wasn't altruistic, so I decided that what you really wanted was Maria's hand in marriage."
Jack was frozen stiff.
" I've really left you speechless, huh? Well, the wedding is on the 26th, in a week, should give you enough time. Well, enjoy, Maria is really a nice girl."
Jack could've been knocked down with something really light and soft. He was betrothed to two women, and he didn't even want to be a polygamist neither, come to think of it, he didn't even want to be a monogamist, but here he was.
And so, with that thought, he tried to go to the hospital to work things out. On the way however, he met Sebastian again.
"Hi, I'm glad you are making Ellen happy."
"Uh"
"Yes, I'm sure you will be fine with her daughter. Nice girl."
"Uhm, might I ask if I don't want to go through with it? Hypothetically of course."
"Then, I will mash you into something nice and soft and feed it to Rick's chickens. And mind, this ain't a lie. You know about Lillian's husband and how he hasn't been around?"
"Yes."
"Well, he was the last person I had a, disagreement with. He called me a bad name and well-"
"I see, gotta run, BYE!" And Jack ran to the hospital.
When he got there, he found Elli alone, and he also saw Lillian, with her blue feather.
---
The plot may thicken yet!
I'm in the complicated process of writing myself into a corner.
---
Jack saw both Lilian and Elli. This would require alot of thinking.
"Hi, Jack, I was thinking about our wedding and I thought that the best day would be the 26th, a week from now."
"Uh"
And then Lillian interjected.
"Jack? What is this about, oh and I'm giving this to you from Popuri."
Lillian handed Jack a blue feather.
"Uhm, Elli is having a wedding, and I'm, uh, invited."
"Jack? Why is Lillia giving you a blue feather?"
"Uh, because I'm supposed to give it to Maria."
"But Jack, you know that it is from-"
"Uh, I mean, my mistake , uh, I really need to get back to work. Uh, LOOK OVER THERE!"
"I don't see anything."
But by the time they looked back, Jack was running. They followed.
---
Jack had circled the town several times and they were both following for an explanation. He needed to hide like a pansy. Then he remembered a remote spot in the woods, with harvest sprites. Maybe he could hide there...
---
"Chef, quick let me hide under the beds!"
"I'll let you hide if we become better friends, budum."
"OK, fine! Here!"
Jack handed the sprite flour.
"OK, budum."
And so Jack hid under the beds. Lillian walked in, along with Elli.
"Hi chef, have you seen Jack?"
Chef walked over to the bed.
"I'll tell them no for another bag of flour, budum."
Jack gave the sprite another bag of flour.
"No, he is not here budum."
Elli and Lillian seemed satisfied. They walked off. Jack let out a sigh of relief. And then the doctor entered. "Where is that ******?" The doctor shouted, violating his normal quiet character.
Chef walked over to the bed again.
"I'll tell him no for a bag of flour budum."
Jack handed Chef another bag.
"No, he is not here budum."
"Chef, I'll give you 5 bags of flour if you tell me where he is."
Chef peeked under the bed again.
"He will give me 5 bags of flour if I tell him where you are, can you beat that, budum?"
"I don't have that much, I only have four."
'I'll take that, budum."
Chef took the flour.
"I'll give you the entire flour storage from the hospital ,Chef, if you tell me where Jack is."
And with that, Chef was won over.
"He is under the bed, budum."
And so the doctor reached his hand under the bed and Jack scurried out the other side. The doctor quickly blocked the door and Jack made a fist gesture towards Chef.
"So here we are Jack, you take my girl. I cannot be responsible for the consequences."
"You can have her, I don't mind! Take her."
"You scrabbling worm, can't even stand up to the facts. Well, you have had this coming for a while you double dealing thief! I'm going to break your neck and burn it and then throw it in the ocean!"
Jack panicked.
---
To be continued! Don't you just hate it?
---
And so my role goes on, at very least I will beat the scarecrow story in terms of length! Quantity if not quality!
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT Fanfic, by yours truly
---
Jack was cornered, the doctor blocked the only door out of this house. The sprites were happily drinking tea, oblivious to Jack's dilemma, counting their bags of flour. And then he had an idea. He talked to Chef.
"Chef, let's play!"
"OK budum, how should we play? Watering, Harvesting, Animals?"
"I'll introduce a new game, it is called throwing rocks at the doctor."
"Hmm, well, if you give us a reward for it, budum."
"Sure" Jack said as he dug out everything he had, he gave the sprites a considerable amount of flowers and they began stoning the doctor.
"WTF? " And with that, the doc left.
Jack ran away like a pansy. He needed a solution. And in great RPGs the answer always was found by hermits, living deep away from the rest of society. With that in mind, he sought out Gotz.
---
He entered Gotz's shack and checked to see that none of his enemies were around, after that he slunk to the floor.
"Now, what's up? Do you need an extension?"
"No, I need help."
Jack explained the scenario to Gotz.
"Well, that is interesting, tell you what. I'll sleep on it and I'll let you know tomorrow."
"BUT I NEED THE ANSWER NOW!!! IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!! I HAVE THREE WOMEN TRYING TO MARRY ME, THREE GUYS TRYING TO BEAT ME UP AND ONE GUY WITH WEAPONS IF I DON'T APPEASE THESE WISHES!"
"Well, that's life, this is difficult, I need time to think of a solution."
And with a sorrowful sigh, Jack walked back to his house. Of course, nothing in life was ever simple. He found Elli and Popuri and Maria on his doorstep.
"Jack, dear, Maria and Popuri say that they are marrying you on the 26th, I told them that that was folly since we both know that you are marrying me on that date."
"Hey, I thought we were getting married, Jack. you aren't being a polygamist are you?" Popuri burst out.
Maria stood there, rather quietly, a tear going down her face.
Jack was in for it. He had run out of options. He would have to choose.
---
And so I leave you hanging once again! TO BE CONTINUED... So, what do you guys think?
Drat, yours go to one end or the other, Butter. Either Jack kills everyone, or it is worked out peacefully. KEEP IT GOING!!! And so, the twisted plot goes on.
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT Fanfic, by yours truly.
---
Jack was surrounded. Three girls were asking about weddings, all on the same date. Jack did something. And it was incredibly instinctive. He dove inside and locked the door, as he saw that Kai and Rick and many other villagers were coming to see what the racket was about. Sooner many fists were pouring on the door.
"Don't worry, I upgraded it this morning," Gotz said as he stepped out of the shadows. "I think you'll be wanting that solution I promised you, eh?"
Jack just nodded.
"OK, then here is the plan. You tell everyone you have short term memory loss, you simply forgot that you had already engaged yourself. And at very least, Doug will sympathize, go to him, and he will clear everything else up."
---
"Attention! I have short term memory loss!" Jack shouted to the throngs of people waiting for an explanation.
The people just looked at him oddly.
"NO YOU DON'T!!!!" They shouted back. And so their hatred increased by throngs, as though Jack had just put out gold lumber. Jack gave the evil eye to Gotz. Gotz muttered that he really needed to get to work on fixing his door and scrambled off.
"Hey, I have an idea," the doctor shouted. "I'll fix his mental problem, with my FIST!!!" And with that the crowd surged towards Jack. Jack ran towards Doug's tavern, maybe what Gotz said about Doug was right. Hopefully.
---
Jack rushed in and locked the door.
"Now, are you the one with short term memory loss?" Doug said.
"I have a solution."
---
Build the suspense!
And here's more about Doug and his solution.
---
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT fanfic, by yours truly
---
"A solution?" Jack muttered in amazement.
"Yes, I can solve all of your problems."
"Well, don't keep it a secret, let it out."
"Oh, well that is where it gets complicated."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, to give away such information, I would like to have you do a certain job."
"Ok, what is it?"
"Well! Aren't you eager? Ok, you need to steal the helmet from Harris."
"Ehm, what?"
"Harris crossed me the other day and I wanted to get back at him, then I thought to myself, 'I've never seen Harris without his helmet'. Steal it and I'll give you the solution. No helmet, no solution."
Jack was sweating buckets, but he reluctantly agreed, he wanted those people to stop trying to kill him.
---
"Well, I think I'll call it a day Gotz."
"OK, goodnight."
Little did Harris know that there was a helmet stealer outside his window. Jack crept through the window. The helmet was on the coat rack directly in front of him. It should be an easy job. Then the alarm sounded and the next thing Jack felt was a rope tugging at his foot. Within five seconds he was hanging upside down with an alarm going off. Harris jumped out of bed.
"Jack, what are you doing in my home made burglar alarm?"
Jack admittedly had no clue, it was hard to think while hanging upside down.
---
DUN DUN DUN!!!!
---
---
And it goes on.
---
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT Fanfic, by yours truly.
---
Jack was in a bad situation, of course, hanging upside down with a rather large imposing man about to beat you up was usually not the best of circumstances.
"Heh, uh, would you believe that I'm really here to return the, uh, wood I borrowed?"
"That is a really sorry excuse, particularly because I never Lent you wood."
"Well I have a good reason."
"you better, and you should give it to me in the next five seconds, before I use my new punching bag to apply a bright red wallpaper to the walls."
Jack thought. Then he decided something. Wallpaper was never what he really wanted to be. Being honest hadn't helped so far. It was time to lie like a filthy weasel.
"Ok, I'm really testing all the defenses of the homes for Rick. He said that I should see if I could get into all the houses to see how prepared this town would be for a sudden case of burglars. If you ask him he will hotly deny it. He wants to surprise people with their sloth. I'm glad to say you are the first to pass this test."
Harris took this as a possible excuse. He rang up Rick and Rick shouted at him for the accusation, mentioning that he would show Harris a certain finger if he was not on the telephone.
'OK, your story checks out, you're free to go."
Jack was happy. But he had to do something before he left.
"Hey, that looks interesting."
"Where?"
And as Harris looked around Jack snatched the helmet.
Jack ran back to Doug's all the way.
---
Jack shut the door and locked it, he let out a sigh of relief.
"OK, Doug, what is your solution?" He asked as he handed the bartender the helmet.
"I got it all cleared up," Doug said. "Tomorrow you will wed Ann."
The next thing Jack knew, he was walking up the aisle.
---
Butter, you were right, and the ending will be coming soon! I think it will surprise EVERYONE! Questions? Comments?
---
I'm a cynic. But I'm hoping to surprise you all with an ending that took me a while to think up. N2g, finish the sentence.
---
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT Fanfic, by yours truly.
---
SECOND TO LAST POST!!! If I do my math right that is...
---
Jack was walking up the aisle. Well, the gig was up. He was facing imminent doom. Carter began the marriage ceremony. "And do you Ann take Jack to be your husband?"
"I d-"
"Stop the wedding!"
Gotz had come in, stampeding, dragging the mayor along.
"I think Thomas has something to say to you all."
"No I don't"
"Yes, yes, you do."
"No I don-"
"I was thinking, I should really tell them about-"
"OK, fine!"
"The mayor would like to say that this is all really his fault. He told Jack what to do because he was prepping him up to be a stand in mayor should he ever get sick, or die suddenly."
"Yes..."
"And this whole situation was created by telling Jack what to do. Being a loyal citizen, Jack did it. And it led him here. This whole situation was created to test his character, RIGHT MAYOR?"
"Er, yeah, whatever."
"So, Gotz you are saying that when he was trying to steal my helmet.."
"Yes, that was the mayor's doing, he told Jack what to do. Jack trusted him. We can blame nothing on Jack at the moment, for he was just being a good citizen. Jack, I think since the mayor has confessed, we can safely stop the marriage."
Jack stopped it, quite grateful. Ann was disappointed, but then she realized it was for the good of the town. She cheered up a bit.
And so Jack walked home. How had Gotz done it?
---
All will be revealed in the final post where I wrap everything up! If it wasn't obvious, Gotz was using the mayor. But what happened, DUN DUN DUN!!!
Well, final post, everything is explained, then it ends. Yeah. I doubt any of you saw this coming.
---
"Are you saying I can dodge marriage?" A FOMT fanfic, by yours truly.
---
Last Part!!!
---
Gotz walked into Jack's house. Jack was relieved that it wasn't someone wishing to do him immense bodily harm.
"I'm guessing you want to know the answer to all that?"
"Yes, kinda. How did you do it? I mean, after you offered me the Doug thing I thought I had given up on you."
"It was all part of the plan."
And Gotz began his speech.
"After I saw what had happened, my mind instinctively began working. It went back to Winter, when the Gourmet guy said something about the mayor's "Fantasticorum". The Gourmet guy looked at him oddly. Then the mayor clammed up about it and tried to pretend it never existed. It was obviously something that would threaten his vast political career. I found out what it was. It took me many months of searching, but I finally found what I was looking for, in a town called Flowerbud village. There the mayor runs a shop and it is, well-'
"Go on."
"There is no way to get around it. The mayor runs a porn shop. It is quite successful and has brought in substantial profit, whilst allowing him to look at erotic pictures of nude young ladies. I knew Doug would ask you for a favor, and I knew you would oblige, but the favor had already been worked out. He would give me the information to track down this shop, if you did a job for him."
"I was almost beat to death!"
"Don't worry, Harris often makes empty threats, I also knew you would get caught in the trap, and Harris is somewhat gullible so I also thought you would escape. Although, your lie was quite, amusing."
Jack had another one of those anime sweat drops going down his face.
"Well, now that that is all cleared up, I had best get back to work. If you need anything upgraded come see me, and don't tell anyone about the "Fantasticorum". The mayor will be veryuhappy that you said it."
"Are you telling me you blackmailed the mayor?"
"Blackmail is a strong word, lets just say I gave him proper motivation. I'll see you around Jack."
Jack was confused, but he still lived happily ever after. The doc got hitched with Elli, Kai and Rick settled their differences and Kai got hooked with Popuri. Ann recovered and hooked up with Cliff. Maria met some nice guy and they got married, Jack attended the wedding, glad he wasn't in it. In fact everyone lived happily ever after, until the next festival...
---
Epilogue
---
The next festival...
---
"So, Rick, when are you going to show your presentation?" Harris said as he walked up to Rick.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know, the information Jack was helping you collect a while ago."
"I don't know what you mean."
"Oh come on, you don't have to fool me, I already know."
"Know what?"
"All about your little presentation and how you will save the town."
"I can honestly say, Harris, that I have never done a presentation, nor do I intend to do one, especially not today. I do not know what you are talking about."
"What? But if you weren't using that information to do a present- Hold on."
"What?"
"If Jack wasn't collecting that info for the presentation, you must have been planning to use it for something else! Like robbing the town! Sound familiar?"
"What? How dare you accuse me!"
"Oh, don't play innocent, you're going to sit behind bars for a while."
"But I didn't do anything!"
Rick was sent to jail for attempted theft. He was never quite sure what he had done wrong.
And so, everyone lived happily ever after, except Rick, because it is sometimes hard to be happy in a jail cell.

THE END!
FIN!
FINISH!!

Comments? What did you think? It is my first fanfic. I'm kinda nervous about it.
