I count Molly as an extension of the family so, yes, she is included. Enjoy and review it really makes my day.
Reasons You're Great.
Christina and Molly stuck together through everything. They were almost never apart. The two girls were complete opposites of each other which confused most. Perhaps, this is why their friendship was a lasting one. Christina was-for the most part-calm and collected whereas Molly was always outspoken and loud. More often than not Shaggy and the kids walked into the house only to see Molly already there sprawled out on the couch with her usual I don't care what you think attitude. Christina wasn't very far away from her bestie. Ever, even if they weren't actually talking to each other. In time, Shaggy and everyone else came to accept this. Molly wasn't perfect, she didn't always make good choices but everyone slipped up. One particularly sunny day the twins walked into the house only to see Molly passed out on the couch like she hadn't slept in years. Confused by their mother's absence they went looking for Christina who was busy preparing Shaggy's before dinner snack.
"What's wrong with Aunt Molly?" Taylor asked as she sat at the counter.
"Well, against Danny's advice she went drinking,"
"I thought she didn't have a drinking problem," Sammie piped confusedly.
"She doesn't it's just when she does drink she gets wasted,"
"Oh,"
"Mom?"
"Yeah SJ?"
"How are you and Aunt Molly friends again?"
"Because we are. Molly makes me laugh and she cheers me up,"
"Isn't that Dad's job?"
"You know what? Let me finish here then I'll show you why your aunt is the best friend ever,"
"Okay,"
After finishing in the kitchen, Christina ushered her kids into her bedroom. While they made themselves comfortable on the bed Christina pulled a box from her closet. At first glance, it was a dingy looking shoebox but upon closer inspection, you'd realize the meaning and memories behind the box. Christina opened it as she sat down. Inside the lid, a faded paper heart declared in Christina's first-grade handwriting: Best Friends Forever. Setting the lid aside, Christina pulled out the first photo she found. It showed Molly holding up a handmade sign that read: I got in trouble again please don't be angry. Molly was about ten-years-old in the photo. She had a swollen lip but she still smiled. Christina flipped it over and read what she'd written on the back.
Molly got into a fight with someone in art class after they insulted my drawing of her. She gave them a black eye and in turn, they gave her a swollen lip. I made her this sign to show her parents. They shouldn't be too angry. After all, she was defending me.
Setting the photo to the side, Christina pulled out another. This one wasn't of the girls but a bouquet of flowers. The card attached to the vase the flowers were in reading Get Well Soon. Christina flipped the photo over and started to read the back.
Molly sent these after she found out I was in the hospital. She wanted to visit but she has to get her grades back up before she can. Still, it as nice of her to send these.
The next thing Christina pulled from the box was printed screenshots of a conversation the two had while Christina was out of School.
Ugh, I hate school.
What's wrong now?
I got detention.
Why? You were doing so good!
Drew.
Oh.
He kept asking where you were.
Creep.
I know.
Did Drew get in trouble too?
Do a bloody nose and three-week suspension count?
Only three?
Sadly.
Ugh
I know.
As the kids looked these things over they started to realize why their mom and Molly were such good friends. Molly was protective, smart, funny. She was always there for Christina. Always there. Even though she got into trouble more often than Christina's other friends. Even though she had a fiery temper and a sour mouth. Christina and Molly were and would always be the very best of friends.
Always

Okay, that ends that. Well I had a busy day cough graduation cough. Good news summer is around the corner and that means more frequent updates. Yay! Anyhow, people say that Molly is a marysue. SHE IS NOT she is the fictional version of my very best friend in the whole wide world. Call her Mary Sue again and I will personally shove you into Ghost zone. Molly as I hope you have realize it's not 100% perfect character she has flaws like her temper and her mouth and her violent tendencies she's not perfect she's no angel but she is a very special character so please don't call her and Mary Sue again.
