Chapter 13: Concert on the Beach!

Molly's POV

"YAAAWWWNN!" I exclaimed as I woke up.

Looking out the window, I could tell it was going to be a perfect day!

"Good morning Finn!" I sang happily.

"Morning Molly! Doesn't it look like a great day?" Finn asked.

"It sure does! I say after work, we should get a group together to go to the beach!" I said cheerfully.

"Well, we need to go to the beach anyways!" Finn said.

"Huh? Why?" I asked, looking at him curiously.

"Don't tell me you forgot! It's the Beach Festival today! You guys are playing!" Finn exclaimed.

"Oh…yeah…I forgot…" I said.

"You sure did!" Finn said laughing.

I began to laugh too as we walked into the farm.

"Hey you got some mail!" Finn yelled as I was tending my corn.

"Ok, I'll look at it in a minute!" I yelled back and continued to water.

After the crops were watered, the ripe crops were shipped, the animals were fed, the animal products I had today were shipped, and the animals were let outside, I finally looked at the letter.

Yeah, I have a busy life…

"Dear Molly,

Hey, it's Caid! As you know the beach festival is today and we're playing. Just wanted to let you know, Dresswear wise, just casual, summery clothing, make sure to wear your swimsuit underneath! Make sure to be there by 11:00 am so we can get warmed up.

See you there! Caid"

"Glad he let me know!" I said looking at the clock.

It was 10:50.

"DANG! I gotta hurry! Come on Finn, get your swim trunks on!" I yelled running into the house.

"Ok, ok!" He said following me into the house.

Moments Later…

I came out of my bathroom in a pair of white shorts, a pink tanktop, white flipflops and black sunglasses. Under that was a pink bikini top and bottoms.

I was ready for today!

Finn didn't look that much different.

He had orange swimtrunks and an orange t-shirt.

"Come on Finn, don't you want to show off your abs?" I said.

"Uhh…noooo…" He said, shaking his head.

"Alright, oh come on we gotta go!" I said pulling him out the door, nearly forgetting my Flute.

At the Beach…

Finn and I got to the beach just in time.

The set up was great! White beach chairs everywhere, colorful beach balls filled the scene, the water was crystal clear!

It was amazing!

"Ah, hello Molly, go on and tune over there." Mr. Caid said.

"Ok, thanks!" I said, taking my Flute out and started to tune.

Moments Later…

After tuning and getting all my music together, I took my seat in the setup.

"Hey Molly!" Chase said coming up next to me.

"Hey!" I said.

Chase and I have been great! After "Harvest Idol" , we couldn't be closer!

Well, we could, but that would be awkward…

We turned our attention to Perry, who was going to conduct us in warm-ups.

We did our little sluring thing, our scales (WITH ARPEGGIOS!), and the chorale.

People had started to fill the seats in front of us.

Once the festival started, Mr. Caid started by saying, "Hello everyone, we're going to kick off this festival by some great summer music! Presented to you by the Harmonica Town Band!"

The audience cheered.

"First off, we're going to start this off with a song that you should know if you're a Jimmy Buffet fan, "The Desperation Samba!"

The crowd exploded into applause.

The song started.

The trumpet part in this was AMAZING! I loved it!

I liked their part better then ours that's for sure!

True, ours was fun, but still.

Soon, Kathy and Jill's solo/duet kind of thing popped up.

They played it fantastically!

The people who weren't playing, like the strings, were singing the song in the background.

Then Calvin did his guitar solo. Sure he played double base most of the time, but guitar was a necessity for this song!

Back to another solo from Kathy and Jill, then the song ended.

The song went very well and the audience seemed pleased.

"Next up, we have another favorite! It's "The Pirates of the Caribbean Medley!" Mr. Caid said.

This was a fun piece to play!

Ever since I saw the movies, I had always wanted to play the music from it. That dream is coming true!

The medley was about 5 minutes long.

After the 5 minutes were done, we had a great finish!

"Now, most people hate this movie, but now we have a medley from "High School Musical 2!"Mr. Caid said.

Despite everyone hating the movie they still clapped.

During the "You Are the Music in Me" part in the medley, the first flutes got a soli, so Me, Chase, and Darien got to play an awesome part!

We got to the clapping part, which was my favorite.

A soli from the trumpets, and then into the finale of the song.

More clapping from us and then "All for One."

"Next, we have an incredibly popular song, "The YMCA!"

The crowd went bananas.

You all know how that goes!

After another explosion of clapping, we were ready to finish the concert!

"Alright, now, we'll conclude our performance this afternoon with "Wipeout" By the Surfaris!"

This was an awesome song! A tradition at the beach festival, it really gave that awesome kick to the festival!

The audience again exploded into clapping once the song was done, and again when we stood up to take our bows.

"Thank you all for coming today, please enjoy the rest of the festival!" Mr. Caid concluded and let us go.

Most people headed straight for the ocean to go swimming, I was of course one of those people.

Luna, Kathy and Candace came over to me.

Luna, of course was in a pink bikini, and having an inner tube around her waist.

Kathy, was in a cute western kind of bikini, that looked like it was leather like, but I don't think it was…or was it?

And Candace, I've never seen her in a bathing suit before but, she looked nice in it, it was of course a blue one piece.

I couldn't wait to get in that water! I was sweating terribly!

I took off my tank and shorts to reveal my swimsuit.

"Oh wow Molls! Never think you'd get a bikini!" Kathy said.

"Yeah, well, I thought it was time, and plus this was adorable, I mean Luna picked it out!" I said.

"Yup! And it looks gorgeous on you!" Luna said.

Candace nodded in agreement.

"Well come on! Let's hit the water!" I exclaimed pulling them towards it.

After swimming for a bit, Chase invited us to play volleyball.

Of course we agreed, but Candace wanted to sit out.

As I was following Luna and Kathy to the other side Chase grabbed me by the stomach.

His hands were cold and wet against my bare stomach.

"Molly's on my side!" Chase yelled.

"Oooohhh, Chase and Moll's are together now!" Luke yelled.

"Oooooooooooohhhhh…" Everyone else followed.

"We're so not together!" Chase yelled.

"Yeah!" I yelled.

"Jk guys, jk!" Luke said.

We blushed, of course we knew they were kidding.

We also blushed because we were still in that awkward pose with his arms wrapped around my stomach.

Before we broke apart, he said "You look awesome."

I blushed even harder now.

We played the game of volleyball, with Jin and Candace keeping score.

The other team won, I think it was because Miley Cyrus was playing in the background, that was our weakness.

"REVENGE! REVENGE!" Luke yelled and ran behind the fishery.

He returned with 6 HUGE water guns. He had 2 for himself and gave Chase, Me, Selena, and Owen each a water gun. Toby didn't get one because he slept thru the whole game.

We started to squirt the other team.

"ENOUGH!" Gill yelled from the sidelines.

He reached behind him to reveal a ginormus water gun!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" We all screamed.

Gill got at least all of us once.

In return, Gill got a good pelting with water balloons once he was out of water.

Toby finally woke up and asked what happened. We told him he missed the fishing contest and he spazzed out.

We told him it was a joke and he went back to sleep.

After finally finding, Will, Steiner/Skye, Vaughn, and everyone else who didn't live in town, we decided to have all the guys have a swimming race.

Lots of them backed out, but a couple stayed in.

It was against Owen, Luke, Chase, Gill, Will, Vaughn, Skye, Cliff, Ray, and Kamil.

Kamil was the new guy, he plays Alto Sax, he was really good too, and good looking, but defiantly not for me.

It was a tough race. But in the end, there could be only one winner…

And that winner is…

"GILL?" We all exclaimed.

Sure Gill was awesome, but I've never seen him as a swimmer type person…

"I was on my high school swim team you know!" He said when he came back to land.

We still couldn't believe it.

After that we chilled out for a bit and ate food from the buffet line.

Just by tasting it, I could tell Chase and Yolanda prepared it.

I had fish and chips! It was awesome!

It was still light out so we decided to hop on some jet skis and have races!

I, being as skilled as I am on jet skis, won most of the races.

This was surprising because I hadn't been on one in like 2 years.

Once it got darker we decided to chill out on the beach the rest of the time.

There were bonfires going around all over the place and music blasting from the stereos.

Every song we knew, we sang to and danced to.

We burnt lots of marshmallows, made decent s'mores, ate ice cream, and had an all around good time!

Then the fireworks.

They were fantastic!

Chase was sitting next to me, and at one point grabbed my hand slightly.

When he saw that I noticed, he pulled away.

By the time it died down, it was about midnight, so we decided to head home for the night.

"Night Molly, Goodnight Chase!" Everyone yelled as me and Chase headed back to our houses.

Once we got to my house we stopped at my front door.

We were silent.

"Ummm…Chase?" I asked looking at the ground.

"Yes?" He asked. He picked up my chin, forcing our eyes to meet.

I shivered by his touch a bit. It wasn't cold or anything, it just…felt…weird…

"Oh…ummm…it's just…well the way you held me at the beach most of the time…like during the volleyball game…it just felt kind of odd…" I stuttered.

"Oh, you mean when I held you like…this?" He said grabbing me, the same way he did earlier.

"Chase…please let go…" I said.

He immediately let go of me.

"I'm just being playful Molly…I'm sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable." Chase said.

"It's…okay…it just feels…odd…" I said, stepping back a bit.

"Odd? How?" He asked.

"I don't know it just feels weird." I shrugged.

"Oh…okay…I guess I was being…I'm sorry…" Chase said backing up even farther then I had.

"It's ok," I said stepping closer to him.

"Uhhh…that's…uhhh…good…" He said actually stepping closer.

Realizing what I was doing, I immediately backed up.

"Ummm…I should be getting inside…long day tomorrow…goodnight Chase." I said turning to go inside but he stopped me.

"Ummm…the firefly festival is coming up soon, I uh…I wanted to know if you wanted to go with…uhh…me…" He said.

I was overjoyed…

"Oh…ummm…yeah…that's sounds gr…great!" I said.

"Co…cool…so…ummm goodnight Mol-Molly!"

"Good…Goodnight Chase…" I said walking into my house.

I silently screamed my head off in my joy.

"Well there you are!" Finn said when I turned around.

"Oh…yeah I stayed at the festival a bit late…"

"I heard everything!" Finn said, flying up to hug me.

"You can finally have someone to love!" He said.

"Now, Finn I wouldn't say…" I was cut off when Finn turned on my stereo and "Somebody to Love" Came on.

"Finn, don't do this to me now!" I said.

Finn started to sing and I basically died it was so bad.

I finally found a way to sleep that night.

I took out my old iPod and turned the volume all the way up.

Hi! I'm really sorry that this wasn't the best, but it was average I guess. Also, yes I know that the Firefly festival is BEFORE the Summer Festival, but I thought it'd be cute if they were switched, I wanted their first date to be late in summer!

Well that's it for now but btw,

MEGAN SAYS HIIIIIIIIII! AND BANANAS!

Bye!
