It was a long day for Molly and her friends to finish the final episodes of the first season of her show. But even with so many takes, it was worth it, including a long delay to begin production on Season 2, Disney Channel executives and writers will take the time they need to write episodes in the coming months. Molly McGee along with her friends on set, Libby and Andrea got out of the studio satisfied.
"That took way longer than it should've taken." Andrea said, heading out the door.
"How many facial expression classes did you take Molly?" Libby added.
"Three, before I got the main role. You wouldn't understand how it felt when I got a call from the executives." Molly turned her head to her friends. "You didn't see my audition videos?"
"I got a call thanks to my commenicals, I had less time looking at other auditions okay?" Andrea replied.
"And I only got in since they wanted a jewish character for a change." Libby added. "If anything, I would've written the episodes instead of being part of them."
The optimistic girl took months of auditioning with her friends before their show happened and she only experienced pairing with them rather than knowing them personally. As they left the studio, she wondered what she could do to pass the time. "Seems like I've been focusing on our show then thinking about what Cartoon stars do when they're on vacation."
"Have you known anything other than Amphibia and The Owl House?"
"Mostly from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. They live further away from where we live."
"They're from different networks, what did you expect?" Andrea signed. "It's only once in a while where they can meet each other as long as the other network show's don't perform in a place like this."
Molly and Libby took Andrea's words into consideration. Even as Disney Channel stars, they never met any other network stars in person. Especially what they do once their shows take a hiatus or completely finish. When they headed down three blocks to Channel studio's exit, they saw Ally and Jess from Amphibia putting a poster up on a wall.
Usually they would advertise the next episodes of their show but once Molly saw the poster closely, it had nothing to do with her older sister's show on the network. "Hey, what are you putting up?" She got the attention from Ally and Jess who immediately turned after taping up the poster.
"It's a fundraiser for our community." Ally added.
"The Amphibia community?" Libby wondered.
"Not really." Jess replied. "It's the LGBT Cartoon Community."
Upon hearing the four letters, Molly became puzzled, same goes to her friends. As Ally and Jess went past Libby and Andrea, Libby looked at the poster itself. "Wait, wouldn't you two like happy to be together on your last video post?" Molly follows the two.
"We recorded that video yesterday and just after we did the editing today…" Ally stopped herself, causing her girlfriend to stop as well. "It turns out that message the community sended us, that we're having a last minute intervention."
"A last minute intervention?" Andrea added.
"It's really private when it comes to this type of community." Jess replied. "Let's just say we need a bigger idea for people like us to come closer as a community."
The two girlfriends left the newest Disney Channel stars as they headed to their car in the parking lot. Molly then turned her attention to the poster that Libby had been reading.
"It looks like Ally and Jess's friends in this community need more help for the fundraiser." Libby said with Molly and Andrea standing by her. "It says, [i]stars and former stars in communities of far networks. We had to cancel our latest convention due to our budget receiving major cutbacks. Our last social media activities may get us success with our supporters, but we want this to be different, a project which hasn't been done before, but a showcase of how we support each other in this community. Not to mention it would be interesting to have some new faces for the experience. If only we can have new inspiration from someone who'll know what it takes to make things bigger."[/I]
After reading every single word from the poster, the three felt stunned, as if a commentary like this could end sooner than expected. "The LGBT community is gonna split apart!?" Molly screamed.
"Do you even know what LGBT stands for?" Andrea added. "If you ask me, none of our show writers told us we're adding that in our show."
"Oookay…maybe I don't know about the community but it seems like it's about love right?" Molly said, making an awkward grin.
"I think there's more to love in this community. There's no hearts here just…rainbow colors." Libby noticed the poster's design. "I expected something like this from you Molly."
When Molly looked at the six colors of the rainbow, it immediately gave her the bigger picture of the LGBT community's situation. "Maybe after I know everything about the LGBT community, I can come up with a fantastic idea to raise money for their fundraiser." Just as Molly celebrates in excitement, she completely sees Luz and Amity from The Owl House who'll be planning to go to Animal Kingdom. "Hey Luz and Amity!" She called to the two witches.
"Is there anything you need Molly?" Amity called back.
"You might want to take a look at this poster." She pointed at it.
It didn't take long for Luz and Amity to head over to check the poster itself. Once they read the paragraph, they couldn't believe it at first. "Was this poster just put up?" Luz pointed.
"We saw Ally and Jess putting up posters so…yes." Libby answered.
"I think we should cancel our trip to Animal Kingdom and head straight to our community." Amity replied.
Molly's eyes were shot open at the fact her Disney neighbors are familiar with the LGBT community. "You're part of this?" She leaned close to Luz.
"Well, technically since 2020, thanks to the fanbase but…we've been taking this relationship to the next level since season two started." Amity making an awkward smile.
"How am I getting the feeling none of your friends in that community warned you about financial problems." Andrea replied.
"We only met Applejack and Rarity along with a few, we never met all of the pairings in person. Including Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline."
"Seems like a bizarre relationship to me." Libby commented.
Luz would make a head start with Amity for damage control on a budget crisis, but upon meeting Molly McGee for the first time, she witnessed her contributions in her very own show. And having creative independent freedom once shows go on hiatus, she wonders what she can do with all the spare time she has.
"Molly, I know you're not part of the LGBT community, but this is really important for me and Amity." Luz placed her hand on her shoulder. "This may be an expensive job, but we can help out, we'll do anything you come up with."
"And don't forget," Amity pointed to Molly's friends. "You may have an opportunity to surprise ours and your followers."
When Molly looked at Libby and Andrea, along with the poster behind them, she could make a difference even as a newcomer. "You're right." Molly smiled. "As long as I get everything I need to know about LGBT, they will live on until the end of time!"
"Now that's the spirit!" Luz hugging Molly in joy. "Let's get to work!" As she and Molly ran together to make their first step for the LGBT community to stay strong, Amity stands next to Molly's friends, watching Luz and Molly heading to her place to come up with a plan.
"Amity." Libby turned to Luz's girlfriend. "Is it okay that you tell me what relationships are in the LGBT community? You know, just for a heads up?"
"Believe me when I say this, you would probably be accepting of the pride representation but not entirely wanting any part of it." Amity biting her lip, after watching Libby's performances in her best friend's show. She then whispered into her ear to give her the basics. Just when Libby was catching on, what Amity referred next stunned her. As if it was mostly about friendships, but it was more than that. When Amity backed away, Libby's eyes shot open, and couldn't believe it while Molly may think otherwise.
"Libby?" Andrea looking at Libby stood in place like a statue. All that Libby did was spazzing a bit, but she stuttered to speak with the idea that Molly could have mistaken her situation, knowing full well.
"I could tell you're not prepared to have a girlfriend anytime soon." Then Libby collapsed on the ground, unphased from what she just heard. "I stand corrected."
