Molly's P.O.V.

It was almost the end of the year and ever since the starry night festival I had been avoiding Chase. I'm sure she noticed this. But Chase wasn't the only one…Gill had noticed it as well.

I was outside doing the usual…watering some of my crops. The only thing I could grow was buckwheat, yellow herbs, and some of the winder flowers. I was tending them when Gill appeared across from me. I blinked and was surprised since he rarely visited me. "Hey what's up?"

He looked at me sternly and I flinched a bit. "Look Molly, I'm not sure if your aware of it but as your friend I need to ask you this. Please answer me honestly ok."

Well that was straight forward and right to the point. I looked at Gill and nodded. It's no laughing matter when he's this serious…especially in a conversation that's important.

"Do you have feelings for Chase? And I don't mean as friends. Do you love him…err…I mean…her?"

I blushed a bit and averted my eyes from him. "No. I mean I do but…not in that way…I mean…I don't know. I'm confused about my feeling towards Chase." I shook my head and started watering my crops. "Look I can't think about that right now, I have to finish my work here and besides we haven't completely restored the land here. I still need to get some of the villagers wishes. I don't have time to be romantically involved with someone."

Gill let out a sigh and shook his head. "Molly…this might sound harsh but…I feel the need the say it. Your being immature, selfish, and a hypocrite."

My eyes widen and I turned to look at him. I was about to say something in protest but I noticed Gill glaring at me. I could tell he was very angry at this point so I stopped myself from saying anything.

"Are you ashamed of your feeling towards Chase? Is that it? Is that why you wont admit that you not only like him but that you actually love him? This it the one thing that I dislike about you Molly. Your always running around telling everyone to be honest about theirs feelings when you can't even be honest about your own. Why don't you just grow up and admit it." Gill then turned around and started walking away.

"And it's her by the way! Why do people keep on saying him instead of her!"

Gill just yelled back. "Whatever!"

I stood there with my eyes wide open. I felt some water tickling on my shoes. How dare he say that about me! And here I thought he was my friend! I stopped towards my house and sat on my bed Indian style. 'What does he know anyway! Hell he had it easy! At least he fell in love with a girl and not a guy! Talking to me in that tone of voice! Acting like he knows everything! '

I covered my face. It's true…I was in love with Chase. I always thought that I was straight but now…I wasn't so sure, especially since I was interested in a girl.

Although…sometimes Chase didn't act like a girl at times. I mean yeah sure she had a kinda manly voice and at times I could swear her shoulders looked broader…but that was because I really wanted her to be a boy.

I didn't want to admit it but…Gill was right. I was being immature, selfish and a hypocrite. I let out a sigh. It's not that I was ashamed of my feeling towards Chase…I just didn't know how she would take it. What if she didn't like me in that way? I shook my head. If I let thing the way they are…I might lose Chase to Maya. And that was the last thing I wanted! I had to tell Chase how I honestly felt and what ever the outcome…I should just accept it and continue to support her in any future relationship she gets involved with.

I rubbed the back of my head. Man! All of this thinking made my neck all stiff. Dealing with feeling like love sure is stressful! I grabbed a towel and headed outside towards the hot spring that was in the corner near my house. I stopped in front of the hot spring and kneeled down to touch the water. Usually it would be hot but this time the water had turned to ice. I sighed. 'Why goddess….why?'

Well it's not like it's the only hot spring in the island. I headed towards the water cave in Harmonica Town. It was already 10pm so I doubt there's anyone in there…besides I don't think anyone's noticed the hot spring in that cave.

Before going to the cave I decided to go to the church, after all…I hadn't made a whish myself. I think I deserve it seeing as I've been doing my best to restore the island.

I slowly made my way to the glass portrait of the Harvest Goddess. I closed my eyes and intertwined my hands together. I squeezed my eyes tightly and poured my heart into my wish. "Please…if you can hear me goddess…please grant my wish. I wish…I wish for Chase to be a boy…please turn Chase into a boy!"

I was startled by footsteps getting close so I stood up and ran out of the church. As I walked towards the cave I couldn't help but wonder if the goddess had heard my wish…I just hope she heard me…

I entered the cave and all that could be heard was some water dripping. I walked towards the hot spring but then froze. Apparently someone did know about the hot spring!

"Molly? What are you doing here?"

Someone was already inside and I just covered my face. I'm probably being punished right now because the person in the hot spring was Chase.

"I I I I'm sorry! I didn't think anyone else knew about this hot spring! I'll just come back later when your done."

I turned away and was about to walk away when I heard a splashing sound as Chase, apparently, had gotten out of the hot spring.

"It's ok…I was about to leave anyway. Besides, I'm sure you don't want to see me or be anywhere around me…" Her voice sounded a bit sad and irritated…but then again how could she not be. I've been avoiding her all this time and I'm sure she's feeling hurt about it.

I had to say something to her before she misunderstood me or even ended up hating me! I turned around to look at her. "Th…that's not true! I-"

I stopped and my eyes widen and my jaw dropped open. My face turned redder than a tomato and I could practically feel steam coming out of my nostrils and ears!

Chase immediately turned red as well and scrambled to get her…or more like histowel.

"Wh…what the hell Molly! Turn around!" He practically growled at me.

I feel on my knees and covered my face with both hands. I could feel a bit of blood starting to drip out of my nose.

Dang! Did she work fast! Dear goddess! Thank you! Thank you for granting my wish!

"I I I I I! I'm so sorry Chase! I know that you would have like to stay as a girl but…but…"

"WHAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

I looked up at him but then covered my face again. "Oh dear Goddess! Why are you still naked! Please put something on!"

I heard some rustling and I parted some of my fingers to take a peek at Chase. At this point he was pulling up his pants and his face was still red.

"What the hell do you mean by 'staying a girl' crap!"

"I I I I" I was stuttering. I was happy yet somehow I felt guilty…seeing as it was my fault that he was turned into a guy for my selfish desires. I had to confess the truth about wishing her…err…him a boy. I bowed like a thousand times (well more like 5 times) and gulped nervously before spilling it. "I I I really li like you Chase! But you were a girl…so…so I wished for you to be turned to a guy! I'm really sorry!"

I looked at Chase and his eyes were the size of plates and his mouth was agape.

"Y…you…you what!"

I stood up and bowed in apology. "I I'm sorry! I know it was a very selfish thing to do! Please forgive me!" I looked up slowly and noticed that one of Chase's eyes was twitching and so was his brow. Not only that but his face was red with rage, he fist were clenched and were shaking… and I could see a vein starting to pop out.

"WHAT PART OF ME LOOKS LIKE A GIRL YOU STUPID GIRL! SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU THOUGHT I WAS A GIRL!"

It could have been my imagination…but I could have sworn I felt my hair fly back a bit and the cave shaking from him yelling at me.

I fidgeted with my fingers nervously. "Uh…well…um…I got to go!"

I didn't know how I did it but in less than a second I was out of the cave and I was now banging on Gills front door.

Yet again I felt my face make contact with the floor and I immediately stoop up.

"Molly! Do you know what ti-"

"I WISHED FOR CHASE TO BE TURNED INTO A BOY AND MY WISH WAS GRANTED!"

Gill blinked. "You…WHAT?"

I gulped nervously. "I…I went to the church and I wished for Chase to be turned into a boy and and…the Harvest Goddess granted my wish! And I know this cuz I was going to the hot spring to relax but Chase was there and…and…" I blushed and then covered my face. "And….I saw it! I saw his weewee!"

Gill looked at me blankly but then he looked down and started shaking.

"I I I know it was a very selfish thing to do! Please don't yell at me!" I put my hand up to cover my head and shut my eyes tightly. Gill was either going to hit me or yell at me for what I had done.

All of a sudden I saw Gill on his knees and he covered his mouth with his hands. That was a reaction I did not expect from him. I think I would have liked him to be angry at me…not disgusted. I looked down at the floor. "I…I'm sor-"

I was interrupted by the sound of Gill's hysterical laughter. I looked at him in astonishment and confusion. He was hitting the floor with one of his hands and the other one was in his stomach. He was practically crying with laughter!

My face started to heat up with annoyance…or more like anger. "What the hell is so funny!"

Gill was gasping for air and wiped some of his tears away. "Oh…oh my goddess! Your so naïve Molly! Oh man…that was the funniest thing I've ever heard!"

I began to blush. "Wh…what!"

Gill stood up letting out a few chuckles more. "First of all, I don't think the Harvest Goddess has the ability to change peoples genders. Secondly, she's to weak to grand any wish let alone that kind of wish!"

I tilted my head to the side. "So…does that mean….Chase was a boy all this time?"

Gill let out a snicker and nodded.

I felt my face turn crimson red. "U u u u u…you knew! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"

I could see a big smirk on Gills mouth. "Yup"

I grabbed Gill by the collar and started shaking him. "I'LL MURDER YOU! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"

"L..l l l let go!" I let him go and he straighten himself.

He cleared his throat. "Anyway, it wasn't my place to tell you that Chase was a guy. It's your own fault for assuming he was a girl! Don't try to blame it on me!"

I let out a sigh in exasperation and fell on my hands and knees.

Oh great…now he tells me that! Now what am I supposed to do! Chase is probably mad at me!

I heard footsteps and I lifted my head. I fell back and my eyes widen. Chase was standing right in front of me with his arms crossed in front of him and was glaring at me. I stood up and was about to run away when I felt someone grabbing the back of my shirt and pulling me back, making me fall flat on my butt. I rubbed it to ease the pain and looked at the culprit.

One of Chase's eye was still twitching. "Oh no your not! Your not escaping this time!" He stood right in front of me leering at me. "Your not going anywhere this time…not until you explain to me what the hell is going on!"

I gulped and turned to look at Gill with pleading eyes. Gill just looked up and started whistling.

Dear goddess! If you can hear me…Please help me!
