DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters except for Joe, and the poor people who got spit on...

Quicker update than usual eh?

Anyway, important A/N at the bottom, but for now, enjoy!

Recap:

"Will you go out with me? L-like on a date tonight?" Joe stuttered.

Molly was speechless. Her best friend had FINALLY asked her out! She was ecstatic!

"Yes!" she said excitedly.

"Oh, okay...I understa- wait, what?"

"Yes! I said yes!"

"Great! So I'll pick you up at six? We'll be back by ten." Joe reasoned.

"Brilliant, that's fine!" Molly said before hanging up.

"BYE KIDS! I'M OFF TO WORK!" Pietro's voice echoed through the house. Damn! Molly had forgotton all about what her parents would say. When she said 'parents', she basically meant 'her papa'. Pietro would be so mad if he found out that she was going on a date with Evans.

Suddenly, she had a plan. She ran down the stairs to where her Papa was and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. This took Pietro completely by surprise as Molly hadn't done that since she was seven! Something was definately up.

"Bye Papa! Have a nice day at work!" Molly smiled brightly to him.

"O...Kay?" Pietro left without another word. He wondered why Molly was acting a bit...strange? She wouldn't normally do something like that unless she wanted something. Pietro was going to ask but didn't bother.

Inside the house, Molly heard chuckling behind her. She turned to face Jared and Peter smirking at her. She returned it with a scowl.

"Where's Roic? Don't you guys have school today?" Molly demanded an answer as her chocolate eyes scanned the table.

"First of all, if we have school, shouldn't you as well?" Jared started.

"And second of all, it's a Saturday!" Roic's voice came from just behind her left shoulder. Molly reacted by instinct when she whipped round and punched him in the face. Roic landed on the floor with a very satisfying THUMP!

"Wow...Somebody's a bit violent this morning. One second, when did you get back?" Peter looked suspiciously at her. Three pairs of eyes were now staring intensely at her.

"I think I would like to know that as well." Her dad's voice said from the doorway.

Correction, four pairs.

Molly gulped. She couldn't exactly lie and say her Papa brought her back, he wouldn't go along with it anyway.

"Last night."

"When?" Lance pressed for more answers

"Hn." Molly refused to say anymore whilst Lance just sighed. True she may have gotton her looks from him but her attitude was definitely from Pietro. No doubt about it. Especially the stubborness.

Molly poured herself some orange juice and began to think. What was the best way to get her dad to agree to let her go out tonight, without letting her Papa know exactly where she was. There was a number of ways, but one was definitely full proof. She was going to act really goody-goody and happy all day, then she was going to tell her dad that she was going to go out with a friend. Of course, without mentioning where she was going. No way were they going to find out. Her dad would agree but Papa had his ways of getting what he wanted.

Yeah, she was going to do that.

At four, Molly called went and texted Joe. She told him to, instead of picking her up, meet her at the park. He agreed with no questions asked. He had known Molly long enough to realise she always had some sort of reason, though he didn't ask why.

Molly looked down to what she was wearing. It was a simple black tee-shirt with neon rainbow butterflies going up her side. She was also wearing three quartered jeans accompanied with a brown leather belt. On the bottom of the left leg on the jeans, there was a studded 'M' on them. She was also wearing some red converses.

Yeah, she was fine. There was no need to change.

Then again, a little bit of make-up couldn't hurt anyone. Molly rushed up to her room and tipped open the make-up bag. Lip gloss, mascara, nail polish and all other types of make-up poured out of the small bag. Molly picked up a vibrant nail varnish and clear mascara. She wouldn't need any more than that for now.

Glancing at the time, she saw it was , five already. It took her about fifteen minutes to get to the park, so if she was going to go, then her plan would have to start now.

Lance had most Saturdays off, unless it was some great emergency or something. Pietro, however, worked Mondays till Saturdays, quite late as well. He sometimes wouldn't come home until past midnight! So, all Molly had to do is convince her dad not to tell Papa, which of course would be easy.

Skipping down the stairs, she listened to see if any of her brothers were lurking. Luckily, they weren't. She continued into the kitchen, where she found her father sitting at the dining table, still in his pajamas, (who could blame him, it was a Saturday after all), reading the local paper. Molly strolled into the pristine kitchen and subtly made her way towards the coffee machine. She made two cups, one for each of them before sitting down opposite Lance and placing a cup in front of him. Lance put the paper down and gave her a confused look, one eyebrow raised.

"So, Dad. How's work been going? Found anything on the missing people yet(1)?" Molly inquired.

"No. Nothing yet. But it should be close. I might hand it over to someone else. That way, I'll have more days off.

"That's good!"

"Molly, are you ill or something? You don't seem like yourself..."

"What?" Molly asked, playing innocent.

"Okay, I know you. You don't just waltz in here, make me coffee and start a conversation, especially about my work, without wanting something. What is it?"

Molly chuckled.

"Heh. They don't call you detective for nothing, do they (2)?" Her brown eyes sparkled with micheif as she spoke "Anyway, Dad. I need to tell you something. Now, I don't want you to get mad or -"

"Oh G-d! You're not PREGNANT are you?" Lance stood up and slammed his hands on the table for emphasis. Molly just looked shocked!

"Dad! I'm fourteen, nearly fifteen! I'm not fricking pregnant!"

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Carry on." Lance sat back down and started to drink his now lukewarm coffee.

"Right. Anyway, I don't want you to get mad or anything. Don't tell Papa either okay, because you know how he'll react. I just wanted permission to go out with a friend tonight. I'll be back about ten. You guys have trained me since I was little, I've got powers now so I'll be perfectly safe."

"That sounds...alright. Which friend? Jill? Amaya? Alyssa(3)?

"Joe. Evans." Molly looked at him in the eyes, holding the eye contact.

"Oh."

"Please?"

Lance stared into his daughter's eyes. They may be his colour, but they held the same energy as Pietro's had. The power of their eyes was just amazing. They could be warm, happy and make your heart melt one second; the next it could be cold, dark and full of hate and malice. Of course, their eyes also had the 'pouty' look which got pretty much anyone doing what they wished. Mesmerizing.

He sighed. He knew he couldn't win this one.

"Fine. Besides, your Papa shouldn't be coming home till half eleven tonight. So make sure you're back before ten!"

Molly got up from her seat and took her cup to the sink with a look of triumph plastered on her face. She was going on a date! Before going upstairs to get her bag, filled with essentials, she gave her father a great bear hug and a kiss on each cheek.

"Oh come on, Evans! I said six at the park!" Molly whispered to herself.

Suddenly, two hands came from behind her. One covered her eyes and the other covered her mouth so she couldn't scream. But Molly reacted quickly and grabbed her attacker by the arm. She flipped whoever it was onto the ground before pinning them in place. However, once she got a good look at who it was, she laughed at helped them up.

"Ow. Molly, that hurt you know! That's not the best way to treat your date!"

"Sorry! But that'll teach you not to sneak up on me again!" She stuck out her tougue playfully as Joe brushed himself off. "So, Romeo, where art thou taketh me?" She laughed.

"Why, I shall take thy fair maiden to the local celebration and keep her entertained! But first, I shalt escort thee to the finest restaurant that exists in the kingdom."

They both fell over laughing at their 'medieval' act. What Molly didn't know was Joe was actually planning to take her to a fair that was staying in their town for a month. He knew that Molly like to have fun and what better way to do that than go to a fair?

Joe took her to a small italian restuarant which wasn't very well known but had good food. Molly decided to have a cream pasta with seafood whilst Joe decided he would go for the traditional bolagnese. The restuarant only had a couple of tables full, including themselves, yet they liked it that way. They chatted about school, lives, family - small talk really. Neither of them wanted to touch the subject of their developed powers or the fact that Joe was leaving soon.

After they had finished, (Joe had insisted on paying for the whole bill), they made their way towards a fair which had recently come into town. There was a circus, a ferris wheel, bumper cars - the works. It was only eight in the evening when they arrived and they planned on spending about an hour and a half there.

Molly had the best time of her life there. Her and Joe had gone on literally every single ride. The ferris wheel went round pretty slowly, so when they were at the top, (being the mischievous people as they were), they were able to throw popcorn down to the unsuspecting people down below. Joe had also won Molly a small Teddy Bear which she was currently carrying around the whole fair.

Time passed for the two teens when Joe finally suggested that they leave as it was getting late. He wanted to go have a peaceful walk in the park to end the date with.

X~X~X~X~XX~XX~X~X~X

Molly and Joe were currently sitting on a wooden bench, with Molly resting her head on Joe's shoulder, hands intwined as they stared up at the dark sky, illuminated with millions of sparkling stars. Neither of them spoke, enjoying the comfortable silence that surrounded them. That is, until somebody had to break it.

"Thank you, Joe. That was the best time I've ever had." Molly smiled up at him

"It was nothing. I only wish one thing..."

"What?" He locked eyes with her.

"That I asked you out earlier. You're funny, smart and beautiful; what's not to love. I hate that I'm leaving."

Another silence.

"Molly, I love you."

She was so shocked that she couldn't move. So, Joe took this oppurtunity to lean it. It was now or never. He placed his lips on Molly's for a short sweet kiss, lasting for only a couple of seconds before pulling back. He connected their foreheads and stared deep into her eyes.

"I..I love you too." Molly chocked out. Finally, after all these years. They had grown up together, forming the tightest bond possible. It was a shame that Joe was leaving very soon. She would tresure every single second. They leaned in for yet another kiss, this one lasting longer. Just as they melted into the kiss,

"What the hell are you doing with my daughter?"

(1) Yeah, the 'missing people' won't play a big role. It's just something I thought of.

HELL! That is seriously one of the longest chapters I've ever written!

(2) Heheh. That's a line from LooseScrapper! I don't own it! ;)

(3) None of these people will actually appear in this fic.

But the names come from here

-Amaya: She's going to be a new OC of mine in a Naruto fanfic (if any of you are intereseted) that I'll be publishing -soon!

-Alyssa: If any of you read my other Fanfic, On the Run, then you'll know who Alyssa is! ;)

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN THIS FIC, JUST SO YOU KNOW!

Oh, crap! Looks like somebody's not very happy... You guys can guess who it is right? Oh well. Obviously they weren't going to do anything! G-d, they're only 14/15!

Anyway, I suggest you actually READ this next part. It's important.

Right now, I'm not feeling too much in the mood for X-Men. I don't know why either. I have these weird phases where I'm completely obsessed with a fandom, then not really, but I still like it. For example, I used to be pretty obsessed with Twilight, but I don't really read it much anymore. But then, I liked it again. Does that make sense? No? Oh...Basically, I do like X-Men: Evo, just not as much as I used to, for some unknown reason. However, I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON MY FICS! I know the feeling of when you read a story, but then the author/ess decides not to continue it. I did feel like that, but decided not to. So, you will still get updates, just not as often (yeah, cos I updated SO much {!} )

Sorry...

BUT! I am hoping to get another chapter up. I'm aiming for the New Year. I love the holidays, don't you?

Anyway

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and for those who don't celebrate Christmas:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

P.S Just so you know, this is the LONGEST chapter I have ever written
