Sorry about the whole misunderstanding. Chapter 2 was meant to be Chapter 1, and also I'm new here so I'm still kinda rusty! Anyways, here's the REAL CHAPTER 2!
Chapter 2: Telling Primo
Rocky
Sure I've gotten the girl of my dreams, but now here comes the real challenge: telling the father. Molly's father Primo and I got along pretty well, but I can't just say, "Hi Primo. Nice day today! Oh, and by the way, I'm dating your daughter!" Who knows how he'll react!
Like I said before, there's know way I can just hypnotize others to allow me to do these things; it's just unnatural. Molly squeezed my hand. "We have to tell him someday, Rock," she told me. I looked into her eyes for comfort, but I still couldn't find courage. I shook my head.
"Molly, I'm such a wimp," I said. "I can't seem to muster up the confidence to say anything." I buried my face in my hands in disappointment. When I looked back up, Molly's eyes were glowing.
All of a sudden, I was gone.

The first thing I did after hypnotizing Rocky was beat myself up about it. Keeping our love a secret wouldn't be easy. I mean, I bet Romeo and Juliet have better chances than we do (I have not seen the play)! The next thing I did was find the brave side of me and use her to give him his instructions. I gulped and began my session.
"Rocky Scarlet," I began, "you are now under my power. You will remember everything that has happened to you when you have been hypnotized. Now, think about how you feel right now about telling my father that we are together. After that, cast any anxious feelings about it aside and let your confidence take its place. When I snap my fingers, you will wake up and as confident as ever. Do you understand?"
He nodded like a puppet. I snapped my fingers and he woke up. Blinking twice, he looked at me. His mouth broke into a smile. "Thanks, Molls," he said. I grabbed his hand, and we set off for the living room, where my father was watching television.
Primo saw us coming down the stairs and waved us to sit by him. We went to the couch, but we remained standing where we were. Both our hands sweated, which was natural for me since my hands would sweat when I was nervous or excited. At this time, I was feeling both.

"What's going on?" Primo asked us. "And why are you holding hands?" I gulped. Sweat slipped down my forehead. My heart was beating. I looked towards Molly, who nodded to me. Confidence rushed through me.
I told Primo, "Sir, I have something to say. I love your daughter, and I would like you to allow me to date her." The suspicious crease on his forehead was gone, and he cracked a smile. He stood up and patted my back.
"Ha ha," he chuckled. "Rocky Scarlet, you have been there for my daughter when I couldn't for eleven years. It would be an honor for you to date my daughter." Molly punched her other arm into the air. She grabbed the collar on my shirt and pulled me to her lips. "As long as you two don't kiss in front of me," Primo added. One family member down, four more to go. And yes, I counted Petula.
