Now, not far from Lucky Jack's house sat the charming public house called The Tart. Jack popped to the Tart every now and again to get the latest village gossip, chat with friends and, more importantly to Jack, gaze lovingly at the beautiful barmaid, Froot deLoop.
Froot had worked at the Tart for years and, as Jack came through the door, she gave him the same big smile she always had for Jack.
"Hi Jack, the usual?", she asked.
"Yes please Froot", he smiled back at her, "Apple cider for Lucky Jack".
"What's up Jack?", Froot enquired, "You look like something's troubling you."
"Well, I don't really know. I just have a weird feeling in my stomach. Ever since I had my American Breakfast Cereals this morning, I have just had this strange idea that I need to... do something."
"Like what? We've got a quiz night tonight. Stay here and join in"
"No Froot. I mean - really something. Something important. Something big. Something beyond Charmsville."
"Oooh", laughed Froot. "That sounds like you need an adventure."
"Yes!", he exclaimed, "That's exactly how I felt. An adventure. I need to go and do something different."
Just that instant, a man entered the Tart in a fine suit and cravat. It was Mr Grits. The town mayor.
"Hi Mr Grits", Froot smiled, "Any exciting news today. Jack is down on Charmsville and thinks he needs an adventure. Me, I love Charmsville. No adventures for me."
"Well Froot" Mr Grits said, "I do have some news. That's why I popped in. I want to leave these leaflets and tell everyone about an exciting event coming up. In two weeks, the King is going to be visiting our region's capital city, Smores, and there is going to be a big parade. He is welcoming Lord Graham the Golden into the royal court. And there is going to be a huge celebration. I think that will be an adventure, hey Mr Charms."
"Sounds great.", said Jack, "That sounds really great. I might leave for Smores next week and get there early. Do some sightseeing and then make sure I have a prime position for the celebrations. That is very exciting indeed."
"Well Mr Grits", giggled Froot, "You've made Lucky Jack Charms happy!".
