Chandler drove up to Molly's friend's house to pick her up. Molly graduated from high school a week ago and she attended her friend's graduation party. She walked into the car sporting her blue beanie, ripped shorts, Pink Floyd tank top, and black converse. "How was your last day?" Chandler asked.
"Great" replied Molly.
"Did you get anyone to sign your yearbook?"
"Only 4 people"
"That's it!" he asked in surprised tone, "Out of all the friends you could've made this year?"
"Look, Dad, Scarlett, Jace, and Daphne are the only friends I made in school. I had no time to care about anyone else in that school, anyway"
"Well you're not wrong about that, most of these girls wear so much makeup, they look like they're applying for clown college"
"Dad" Molly chuckled.
"It's true!" he said, "Hey, I was thinking if me and you go to the movies this Friday. You know Finding Dory comes out that day"
"Yeah"
"Do you want to see it?"
"Yeah, But I don't know"
"What do mean you don't know? Finding Nemo was your favorite movie when you were little"
"It's not that, it's just that I think it would be kind of weird that someone takes his 18-year-old to see a kids movie"
"Oh, just what I need, my own daughter, for the first time, is embarrassed of me"
"Dad, you know I'm not embarrassed of you"
"But the thing is you're going to be going away to college and I'm going to be like one of those suburban dads that lays on the couch all day, watching TV and eating chips" Chandler explained, "Oh god, I am starting to sound like them aren't I?"
"To be honest, you kind of are" Molly replied, honestly.
"I just want to spend these last days with you before you move away because, you know, when you move away, I'm going to miss those times we use to spent together when you were little"
"I'm going to miss that too" Molly said.
"I'm sorry if I'm being so anxious about you growing up" said Chandler, "It's probably just that me and your mom aren't ready to let you go"
"I understand. I may not say this often, But you and Mom have really done a lot for me when I got adopted"
"It's because you were our little girl then, and you'll always will be" he told her.
Molly smiled. Chandler reached out his arms, signifying that this is the moment where they hug. Molly hugged her father. "I love you Dad" she said.
"I love you too, sweetheart" he replied, "So is that a yes to our date?"
"Yep" said Molly, "We should also bring Uncle Joey"
"Ok, so it's not a date?"
"It doesn't have to be. Just me hanging with my two favorite guys"
Three days later, Chandler,Joey, and Molly went to the movies to see Finding Dory. As soon as it got to the opening scene, Molly rested her head on Chandler and he wrapped his arm around her.
