What's up people? Blaaah its nearly the last day of spring break!!!:'( Ah well. Well not much to talk about so…ANDALE!!!!!
Chapter 5: Little Dress Shop of Horrors!
Molly's POV
It had been 3 days since Simon had been released from the Clinic and apparently he has been doing fantastically since then!
…He's still creeping me out though…
"I am not dead yet I can dance and I can sing! I am not dead yet I can do the highland fling! I am not dead yet…"
"FINN!!!!! WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!" I screamed while I was digging through my closet.
"Geez Molly! I'm just singin'! What are you even doing?" Finn said.
I still continued to search through my small closet until I couldn't find at all what I was looking for.
"MOLLY!!!!!" Finn screamed.
"What? Huh? Oh…it's nothing…" I said blushing. I couldn't tell Finn what I was looking for he would never believe me.
"Tell me, RIGHT NOW!!" Finn said coming up behind me pulling my hair.
"OUCH!!! FINE!!!" I said trying to get my hair back.
"That's more like it!" Finn said.
"I'm looking for…a…a…a…"
"SPIT IT OUT!!!!" Finn yelled.
"A DRESS!!!!"
*PLUNK!!* Finn fell to the ground in shock.
Everyone I knew would be in shock when they saw me in a dress. Though I don't remember much about my childhood I do remember I NEVER wore dresses. I always thought they where too girly. But now its time to grow up!
The problem was I didn't have a dress.
The Tailor Shop was closed due to the fact that they didn't have any materials and Shelly was out getting some and wouldn't be back until tomorrow. The day of the concert.
I couldn't get it tomorrow because we basically have practice all day and get like 2 hrs to get ready which for me it really means 1hr or ½ an hr. to get ready while the other time is taking care of my farm.
"Finn? You okay little buddy?" I said poking his stomach.
"YOU'RE GETTING A DRESS???!!!" Finn said waking up immediately.
"Yes…" I said suddenly getting very small.
"I really can't though… the Tailor shop is closed and I don't have a dress. Ugh I guess I'm stuck with dress pants…" I sighed very unhappily.
Evil lair in Port Huron:
"Hmmm…she wants a dress does she…"
"Yes father I recall that 2 seconds ago she clearly stated she wanted a dress." Said Darien engrossed with his Rubix Cube.
"You know I'm trying to put some suspense and evilness into this story here!" The mustachioed man said.
"You couldn't put any evil in this if you tried! I mean look at yourself! You're sitting in a blow-up chair that you got from EBay! You're wearing a pink cloak! You think that 90 year old women are hot! AND YOU HAVE A HELLO KITTY STUFFED ANIMAL THAT IS ON YOUR BED RIGHT NOW! YOU CALL THAT EVIL???!!!" Darien said throwing the Rubix Cube down out of frustration.
"All right I have answers for all of those. The reason for the blow-up chair was because the other chair broke and it was a bargain AND it was limited edition Barbie blow-up chair! The reason for the cloak was I was washing the cloak, I left the room for a moment and Mr. Wiggles spilled pink dye in the washing machine which is the reason my underwear is also pink! There you go!"
"First off who is Mr. Wiggles? And second what about the other 2 blackmails?" Darien said walking over to his father.
"Mr. Wiggles is our cat!" Mustache man said.
"MEORCH!!!!" Purred and fat ugly cat.
"That doesn't sound like a cat…or look like one…" Darien said gagging.
"Yes I know he will be going through a tummy tuck soon."
"So what about the women and the stuffed cat?" Darien said impatiently.
"I like my women old okay!" Mustache man said.
"And…" Darien said tapping his foot.
"And what?"
"WHAT ABOUT THE HELLO KITTY?????!!!!!!"
"I don't have a Limited Edition Hello Kitty Goes to the Beach Life size plush on my bed!"
"Hello I'm Hello Kitty! You're my best friend!" The plush animal said as Darien pulls the string attached.
"YOU RAIDED MY ROOM???!!!" He said grabbing the Hello Kitty doll from Darien's hands.
"You know what?! I can't take this crap anymore!! When you die I'll actually be able to some evil!! I'll take away their Nintendo, and their McDonalds, and their Facebook and their YouTube, and their AND…"
"I GET IT!!!! I'M NOT VERY EVIL! Geez what can a dad do to get cut some slack here! Teenagers! If you think you should do a good job at being evil maybe YOU should try and take on today's task!!" The father got up and stared at his son with a playful grin representing a challenge.
The man was still in the shadows. Only his cape and smirk were shown.
"You know what!? I think I will!! But first I need to clear my head! I'm going to Starbucks!" Darien shouted after his father before turning around.
"You can't…THERE IS NO STARBUCKS IN PORT HURON!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!"
"…Dad…you're embarrassing me…and you know what?! OH WELL! I'M GOIN TO TIM HORTANS!!! AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANYTHING!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Darien laughed.
"Not even some Timbits?"
"NO!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Darien laughed again before leaving the lair.
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! BUT DARIEN!!!!!!!!!!!!" The man cried, his head in his hands.
"*sigh* Alright what do you want?" Darien said coming back to his father.
"Black coffee, 50 pack of Timbits, 5 Double Dips, 4 Vanilla Creams and 4 Boston Creams!!" Said the newly happy man.
Darien rolled his eyes at his father and how long his list was but still agreed to buy all of it.
"That's my boy! Now shoo shoo!" Said the man. And with that Darien disappeared in a burst of black dust.
"Ah that son of mine! Evil, but well hearted…hmm I see that he might have feelings for this girl Molly though…I'll see how he does with this task."
Molly's POV:
"YES MICKELSON JUST WON THE MASTERS!!!!!!" I Screamed in happiness. "IN YO FACE TIGER!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Geez never seen you so excited about golf!" Finn said looking at all the tears of happiness throughout the crowd on the TV.
"Of course! All my money was on him!! And he deserves it!" I said grinning ear to ear.
"It's all about money huh?" Finn said scratching his head.
"And about showing Gill that Mickelson is so much better than Tiger!! He thinks he knows everything! HA!" I said laughing at my friend's expense.
*BRRRINNNNG BRRRRINNNGG!!!!* Rung the telephone.
"Haha! It's probably Gill right now to tell me I cheated or something!" I said walking over to the phone laughing.
"Hey Gill! I didn't cheat ya know!" I said casually. But the person who spoke wasn't Gill.
"Uhh…Molly this isn't Gill. This is Darien." He said in his English accent.
"Oh hi! What's up?" I said as casually as I could.
"Nothing much but I heard you needed a dress for tomorrow's concert." Darien said.
"Uhh yeah how did you kn.."
"No time to explain but I know this fantastic dress shop that's a tad out of town. They have amazing dresses that will take your breath away!" Darien said. I still don't know how he knew though.
"Oh wow! That would be very helpful! Thanks Darien!" I said happily.
"No problem. Hehe." He said…he said…Hehe? That's suspicious…
"Ha…what's so funny?" I said a little scared to know the answer.
"Huh? Oh nothing! Nothing at all! Here! Do you have an e-mail? I'll send you directions." He said…he's hiding something.
"Oh yeah! It's ." I said...should i be giving this dude I barely know my e-mail? Ah well! I'm in dire need of a dress and if he can help me? Well how could I refuse?
"Alright it should get there in… 1 minute." He said sounding like he was concentrating on sending it.
"Can I bring a friend with me?" I said. I guessed he would say yes but I wasn't sure…he didn't seem so keen on be being with me being anyone else besides him…protective much?
"Ummm…well I don't know…" He said. Told ya.
"Please! It would make me feel safer if I go with a friend!" I said. This has to make him change his mind!
"Ummm…ok…fine…but whom?"
"I don't know probably Luna if she's free." I said thinking.
"Hmmm…alright…fine." He said. Again, told ya.
"Ok!! Thanks again Darien!! You're the best!" I'm such a liar. I like Darien…at times…but still he's definitely not the best person I know.
"Haha, why thank you miss Molly! I pride myself in being the best!" He said. I could hear him smirking.
"Ok thanks again! Gotta go bye!!" I said just about to hang up the phone so I could hurry up and call Luna.
"Alright. Goodbye Molly."
I hung up the phone and then picked it up again.
Luna happily agreed to come with me and be my fashion teacher.
On my way out I ran into Chase. I haven't seen him in ages!
"Hey Chase! What's up?" I said casually. What's up with me and being casual today?
"Oh…Uhh…hey Molly. Nothing much just taking a walk." Chase said…something was wrong with him.
"Chase are you okay your face is all red…"
"Uhh…yeah…I'm fine! Anyways where are you going?" He said as his face got redder.
"Oh heading over to Luna's then we're gonna go to a dress shop outside of town that Darien told me about!" I said perking up. I wonder what Chase's expression will be when he sees me wearing a dress?
His painful smile vanished.
"I don't think you should hang out with that guy a lot Molly…" He said looking down.
"Why? He seems nice…cocky, but nice…enough…" I said.
"Sorry molly I gotta go…bye…" He said then took off.
"But…*sigh* alright bye…" What was with him?
Moments later…
"Alright Luna looks like this is it!" I said happily as we reached the dress shop. I left Finn behind because he wanted to sleep.
"Hmmm…not as nice as our place though, but good enough!" Luna said.
We walked inside to be greeted by an older women and her cat.
"Why hello ladies! Go ahead and look around! Everything's on sale!" She said.
"MEOWRCH!" Said the cat…I think that's a cat…
"Alright thanks!" Luna said grabbing my arm and pulling me around the store.
We finally decided on 2 decent looking dresses. Everything in the store looked like it had been from the 1800's!
"Alright Molly we have these 2 choices. Which one?" Luna said holding them both up. These 2 actually looked modern. One of them was a sleeveless teal dress with sparkles and rhinestones that flowed and the other one was basically the same only with a jacket, no rhinestones, and was red.
"Hmmm…I'll have to try them both on but I'm leaning more towards the red one." I said looking sideways at the dresses.
"That's what I was thinking too! Alright so we should go ask for a dressing room for you!" Luna said pulling me towards the lady at the desk.
"Is there anything I can help you ladies with?" She said petting her cat.
"Yeah could we get a dressing room for her?" Luna asked sweetly but sassy.
"Of course! Right this way." She said pulling us to a back hallway.
All of a sudden the cat attacked Luna forcing her to the ground!
"Where's the amulet?!" The old woman screeched as she transformed into a huge carnivorous plant.
"What are you talking about??!!" I screamed trying to put the now mutant cat devil thing off of Luna.
"GIVE ME THE AMULET!!!" It screeched again.
The Devil/Cat was scratching Luna's face that she was bleeding. I had to do something quick!
I found a metal pipe that was coincidently placed on the floor in my time of need.
(Insert Mortal Kombat Theme here)
I swatted the pipe at the plant thing but it kept trying to bite my head off. I swung harder and harder until it bit my arm.
"OUCH!!!" I yelped. That was it!
"I then started swinging at the Devil/Cat thing in my fight to save Luna.
"Molly!! HELP!!!" Luna screamed. She then fainted from blood loss.
"LUNA!!!!" I screamed and started swinging at the cat even harder until I felt a tingling in my veins.
All of a sudden The pipe burst into flames, yet it didn't burn my hands!
Grass is weak against Fire! (Or so says Pokemon at least.)
I started swinging the pipe at the plant and it burst into flames as well. Pokemon is always right!
The plant then turned into a vortex of darkness and then disappeared. The cat did the same.
All of a sudden the store disappeared and we were on the ground outside Marimba Farm.
I quickly ran to Chase's house and started pounding on the door.
"Molly what is it?!" He said opening the door.
I couldn't speak but I pointed to Luna. He gasped and then knew what I was talking about.
He helped me carry her to the clinic and waited with me to hear the results.
She was pretty banged up so I doubted she would be able to play tomorrow. I couldn't stand to loose my best friend. She was one of my first friends since I arrived a year ago. I couldn't stand to loose her.
I started to cry a tad.
Chase didn't say anything he just started to hug me and keep me close…I could feel his body heat against mine. He was extremely warm and very comforting.
The door opened and we quickly let go of each other.
"Well it's nothing too serious." Jin said. "A few scratches on the face and arm. She'll have to be in recovery for a bit though."
"Will she be able to play tomorrow?" Chase asked before I could get the courage to ask myself.
"It's a possibility that she might be able to but let's just pray to the Harvest Goddess that she'll be alright. I've already contacted Candace and Shelly and should be coming over to make sure she's okay." Jin said.
"You 2 might want to leave." Irene said.
"Alright, thank you Jin, Irene, let's go Molly." Chase said putting his arm around my back.
I just nodded in response.
We walked out of the Clinic and Chase walked me back to my house.
"Hmm I guess all we can do is pray, like Jin said." Chase said looking at the way to the Goddess pond.
"Goodnight Molly…" He said before turning around to walk back to his house.
For a minute there I was completely speechless. Why was he being so nice and caring?
He apparently didn't expect an answer and kept walking.
"Chase…" I began to say looking at the ground.
He paused.
"Yes?" He said turning his head around.
"Thank you…for everything you did tonight…it really helped…" I said. I could feel the blush coming on.
He chuckled a bit. "No prob. See you tomorrow." And with that he was off.
"Goodnight…Chase…" I said turning into my house.
As soon as I shut the door and turned around Finn was in my face.
"WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT??!!" Finn screamed.
I told him everything. I cried during quite a bit of it.
Finn comforted me and told me it was alright. He said we should go to the Goddess Pond and pray to the Harvest Goddess in person.
Once we were there I told the Harvest Goddess everything.
"It's alright Molly. I will do everything in my power to heal Luna but the thing that wounded her was from dark sources. It may take time." She said also trying to comfort me.
"But what about everything else? What about the fire and all of that stuff?" I asked. I needed to know.
"I'm not quite sure. I'm sure all will be answered soon, just be patient." The Harvest Goddess said.
"Alright…Thank you Harvest Goddess. Goodnight! And I hope you'll be able to see the concert tomorrow!" I said trying to be happy.
"I wouldn't miss it. I'll be watching. Goodnight Molly. Goodnight Finn."
"Goodnight Harvest Goddess!!" Finn said.
When I got home there was a package on my doorstep.
I took it inside and opened.
"OH MY GODDESS!!! IT'S A DRESS!!" I squealed happily. "There's a note. Dear Molly, I knew you needed this so I whipped it up for you! Enjoy! From: HG, and all the Harvest Sprites."
"FINN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!!!!????" I screamed with happiness and annoyance that he didn't tell me.
"I wanted it to be a surprise! SURPRISE!" Finn said with a huge grin.
"OH THANK YOU!!!!!!!! IT'S JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF!!!!!" I was jumping up and down like a little kid who just found out they get to go to Disney.
"Haha, it was nothing!" Finn said.
It was a beautiful red dress that was tiered with rhinestones and was sleeveless. It was gorgeous and I had the perfect high heels to go with it too!
When I went to bed I couldn't help but think about everything that had happened. It was all confusing! What's this Amulet the creepy lady was talking about? And what about that fire? And what about Chase? And will Luna be okay?! Hmm… I'll just have to do what the Harvest Goddess said, be patient.
But 1 question still eludes me though…
How would there be a dress shop outside town if the town is basically the whole island?
…
