Chase
"Chase! Two grape cocktails, an apple cocktail and Two pancakes!"
Chase grunted and got to work.
He pulled out a pan and got the ingredients for the pancakes, as well as the grapes and apples for the cocktails. Chase slowly put down the eggs, milk and honey on the counter, then he walked over to the aging pot. He took the grapes and apples and gingerly put them into the aging pot. On his way back to the counter, he opened a cabinet above him and got a bowl.
"Chase! Hurry up!"
Ignoring Hayden's demands, he expertly broke the eggs, poured in a couple of glasses of milk and three tablespoons of honey. He reached for a wooden spoon.
"I'm getting really worried, Molly was never late before."
Chase dropped his wooden spoon and caught the bowl right on time before it fell; but as he rose, his head hit the side of the counter. Chase swore colorfully. Hayden gave him a wary and exasperated look. Ignoring him again, he rubbed the sore spot. Then bowl and wooden spoon still in hand, he edged closer in an effort to eavesdrop on their conversation…
Luna
Luna sighed loudly and stretched like a cat in her seat. The church bells bellowed and sang: 8 chimes.
It's 8 o'clock; where the hell are you Molly?
She solemnly tapped her fingers on the table as she waited for her friend. Panic was bubbling inside of her, but she managed to dismiss it as paranoia. Luna rested her chin in her palms and surveyed her surroundings.
The Brass Bar was quite full- it burst with laughter, random chit-chat and gossip. Selena gracefully danced and swayed to foreign upbeat music, meanwhile, Luke gaped and gawked his eyes at her fascinated. Owen sat at the bar, talking loudly and laughed with Kathy, the waitress, as he drowned cocktail after cocktail. Luna smirked at him. The mayor sat down a couple of tables away and was concentrating on guzzling his dinner, rather than listen to what Ozzy and Pascal were trying to tell him. Not that they seemed to realize it, they were too busy arguing about some fish. She rolled her eyes at them.
Nearly all of Harmonica is here. She silently wished that Gil was here too. Luna's cheeks were streaked in scarlet at the thought. Gil- the mayor's son- was arrogant, rude and a workaholic. And she liked every bit of him- the good and the bad. His cold, azure, eyes that were always narrowed, his neatly pressed shirt and vest, his sleek, long platinum blond hair; even that untamable lock of hair, that stood in the centre of his head no matter what he did. Luna sighed dreamily. She's been crushing on him since that day, when he came to their shop looking for a pair of gloves to buy. He was wearing his navy blue shirt…
Or was it the midnight blue shirt?
She giggled; no, it was definitely the navy blue shirt.
Luna started giggling.
"Umm…Luna?"
Luna stopped abruptly, her cheeks turning pink. She looked up to find Kathy staring at her worriedly. Luna cleared her throat.
"Hey Kathy!"
Kathy was hesitant, but she finally smiled.
"Hey, you scared me there for a second," Kathy laughed nervously, "can I get you something?"
"No, I'm fine," Luna stated, "I'm waiting for someone."
Kathy's eyes widened and sparkled upon hearing that. Realizing her mistake, Luna's cheeks were, once again, highlighted a soft pink.
"No! No! No!" she shook her head violently, "Not that kind of person! I'm waiting for Molly!"
Kathy laughed softly and smiled at Luna; Luna smiled back at her.
"But isn't it kind of late?" Kathy continued uneasily, "I mean for Molly?"
"I know," sighed Luna, "I'm getting really worried, Molly was never late before."
They heard a loud thump and then someone cursing intensely. Kathy rolled her eyes, obviously recognizing the voice; Luna tried to look behind her to identify the person, but she was cut short by the waitress,
"Anyway, so Molly promised to meet you here when?"
"At 7 o'clock" replied Luna.
"And that was an hour and…" Kathy looked back at the clock behind them, "twenty minutes ago."
Luna nodded. Now, hearing it from Kathy like that, it seemed much more worse than it sounded in her head. She felt her body tense and heart rate fasten. What if something happened to Molly? After all, Molly was quite punctual and even when she was late, she was never that late.
Never an hour and twenty minutes late.
She suddenly felt something touch her shoulder. Looking up, she found the waitress with a sweet beam plastered on her face, and her right hand placed on Luna's shoulder for comfort. Luna lifted her arm and placed it on top of Kathy's- smiling.
"Don't worry," Kathy quietly, "she'll burst in through that door in a couple of minutes, with a huge goofy grin and yell "Hey Luna! I'm so sorry for being late! I owe you a blackberry pie!""
Luna laughed and as Kathy went to complete her duties, she turned her head towards the door and silently waited for her friend.
