As Molly left Gypsy by lakeside, her eyes frantically searched over the lake and its shore. Finally she spotted Mic. Their eyes met as Molly sprinted up, Mic waved and, as soon as she was close, greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. "So what's up?" Molly asked, "And you might want to make it fast because we won't be alone for long..." she stated checking to see if the rest of her family had arrived yet. "Why won't we?" Mic asked regaining her attention. "My parents and my brother are coming soon." she replied in an irritated voice. "Oh, I see. Well I just wanted to talk to you about... us." Mic said in a melancholy voice. A bit flustered by the sudden subject change Molly abruptly stepped back from Mic as she stammered inarticulately trying to think of what she should say. As soon as Mic observed this sudden reaction to the subject he contorted his head in such a manner that looked like he had been slapped across the face. "Ahem... well I... um... well what is it about us that you want to talk about?" Molly questioned trying to regain control of the situation. "Well... I don't know about you but, I have strong feelings for you Molly..." "I like you too Mic!" Molly interrupted. "And I don't doubt that! I really don't. Except the way you act, like you did just now and the other day, well I have to know if..." Mic paused. Oh no he must have realized he's not the only one... Molly thought to herself. "If you're embarrassed to be with me. Are you?"

Molly almost laughed, she was so relieved. "No Mic, I am not." she stated smiling and shaking her head in relief. "Great!" Mic practically shouted beaming a large grin, "Then on to my next question..." he hesitated. "Molly would you be my..." "YOU WHOOO!!! MOLLY DEAR! MIC!" Molly sighed in frustration as her mother approached screaming to them at the top of her lungs. "Yah mom, we're over here!" Molly replied as she gave Mic a sympathetic smile fully knowing what he was about to ask.

After setting up the picnic, Molly, Malon, and Mic sat bathing in the warm rays of the sun. "So Mic how's your mother?" Malon engaged the conversation. "Fine." Mic replied coolly. "Oh, has she found you a bride yet?" Malon persisted, "Uh... not yet." Mic replied in a voice near a whisper as he noticed how Molly shot up at the question. "What are you talking about mom?" Molly quickly questioned. "Oh, you didn't know?" Malon questioned her daughter as she sat up and removed her sunglasses, "At Mic's age a zora is to get married." she paused, "The parents usually find them a bride." she finished as she leaned her back onto the blanket and placed her sunglasses back on. Molly looked back and forth from her mother to Mic speechlessly. "I am going for a swim." was all she could bring herself to say in reply to the shocking news she had just heard. As she got up she made sure she dodged Mic's wistful eyes.

::whack:: Molly shook her head as she tried to see what had just hit her. As soon as the volley ball came into focus a devilish grin came to her face. "You'll pay for that!" she screamed at her giggling little brother who was now running for whatever protection the water had to offer. Molly jumped to her feet and ran into the water after her brother. She quickly caught him and dunked his head under the water, when she finally let his head come up it was no longer her little brother but Mic. She turned away from him, arms crossed, to show him she was not pleased with him. "Molly please?! Let me explain..." was all she heard before she dunked under the water's surface and began to swim away. However, this was not the wisest choice of escape from a zora and he soon caught up. Molly gasped for air and struggled to get out of Mic's grip as they surfaced. "Molly..." Mic said before his lips smothered her shouts for him to let go.

"Aha..." Malon said to herself as she lowered her sunglasses and watched the two teens make out in the middle of the lake. "She is playing with fire..." "You have to let her learn this lesson on her own Mal." Malon was startled by the presence of her husband next to her. "Ah, um, when did you come over." she asked trying to regain her composure. "Mal you can't protect her forever. Just let her figure this one out on her own." Link replied without moving from the rays of the sun. "You know?!" Malon asked ignoring the advice given to her. "That's besides the fact Malon. You have to let it go." He replied sounding a little annoyed. Malon replaced her sunglasses on the brim of her nose and laid back down with a huff.

"I'll come by tomorrow, ok?" Molly question the zora who had just been investigating her tonsils with his tongue. "Mhmm..." he replied cocking his head and licking his lips. "MOLLY LETS GO HUN, BEFORE YOUR MOTHER THROWS A FIT!" her father yelled to her. "OK! BE RIGHT THERE!" she replied. "I've got to go. I'll see you tomorrow." with that she released his hand and ran off to Gypsy.

Dear Diary,

I think I have chosen the right guy. Mic has all these great qualities and he really likes me. I am going to tell him tomorrow that I will go to the ball with him. And if he asks... I will tell him I will be his girlfriend. I'm so very happy. Till tomorrow.

Molly
