Why hellooooo! I'm up here typing on location at the beautiful Port Sanilac! Yeah so, the Mackinac Races are tomorrow so I'm typing now, because I won't have any time to type any more this weekend. Also it's freakin hot up here so if I pass out in the process of writing this chapter, I'm sorry. Also I don't own the little title thingy.
Chapter 14: Kodak Moment!
Molly's POV
It had been about 5 days since the Beach Festival and I've been anxious since then.
Finally, the day was here!
The Firefly Festival.
And I was going…with Chase.
Was it a dream come true?
Did he really like me that way?
Or was it just a friendly gesture?
I guess I'll find out tonight.
"Molly?" Finn said.
I was humming to the songs my iPod was playing while watering the crops. I completely ignored Finn.
"Mooolllyyy?" Finn asked, tugging on the sleeve of my shirt.
I continued to hum until I broke out into song.
"Don't tell me not to live just sit and putter, life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter, don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade!" I sang happily to "Don't Rain on My Parade" sung by Lea Michelle from Glee.
"MOLLY!" Finn yelled.
I tripped on a weed and fell in a puddle of mud.
"FINN! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!" I yelled at the little sprite.
"You did it to yourself! You weren't listening to me!" Finn snapped.
I threw a bit of mud at Finn.
"MOLLY! YOU GOT MY FAVORITE SHIRT DIRTY!" Finn whined, trying to wipe off the dirt.
"Finn you wear that shirt everyday! In fact do you even have a different set of clothes?"
"Ummm…I do…I just…choose not to wear them…" Finn stuttered.
I just laughed and threw more mud at him.
I then remembered my iPod in my pocket.
It wasn't damaged and was barely covered in mud.
"Anyways, what did you want Finn?" I asked, putting my iPod back in my pocket.
"Well 3 things, A) If you're going to listen to your iPod outdoors, bing your iLive out here so we can both jam!" Finn said, dancing a little jig.
"Uhh…I'm not sure that's a good idea." I replied.
He scoffed at me and continued.
"B) When are we going to start the Purple Bell?"
"Whenever we can, I have no idea on what to do about it; I haven't heard any word of it so far." I said. I did truly wonder when we would be able to start working on the purple bell.
"And 3) What are you going to wear on your date with Chase tonight?" Finn asked with a broad smile across his face.
"First, you went from B to 3, and second, I have no idea! Let me get done with the farm work first!" I laughed.
"Oh…Well can't a person make mistakes like that?" Finn snapped.
"Yes, but I was just pointing it out so you don't make the same mistake again." I said slyly.
"No you didn't! You did it to poke fun at me!" Finn accused.
"Eh, you could put it like that." I said.
"Molly!" Finn whined.
"Just go get changed and take a shower or somethin'! I'll finish out here, then I'll call Luna and Candace." I said, shooing Finn off into the house.
"Fine…" He mumbled and slowly flew off.
I giggled and continued my work.
Moments Later…
"Alright! Clear out! We have a fashion emergency here!" Luna called.
"Ah good! You guys are here!" I said as Luna burst through the door.
Candace quietly followed behind.
"So, what's your emergency?" Luna asked.
"I need an awesome outfit for tonight, I have a date!" I said cheerfully.
"WITH WHO?" The sisters shouted in unison.
That was the first time I ever really heard Candace get loud.
"Chase…" I said quietly.
Both girls squealed in glee.
"Yes, yes, yes, I believe it was just a friendly gesture." I said reassuring them.
"Who knows…" Candace said.
"Anyways, we need to fix you up good for tonight!" Luna said, cracking her fingers.
"Candace, get the portable wardrobe!" Luna said.
"R-right away S-sis!" Candace said and she was off.
"You know just between you and me, Candace is finally starting to come out of her shell!" Luna whispered.
"Yeah! I wonder why that is!" I said.
"I think it's because of Juli…" Luna started but couldn't finish.
"G-got it!" Candace said. Though she still stumbled on words, she didn't do it as much as she did when I first met her.
When Candace brought in the wardrobe, I was shocked.
"W-Whoa…" I said.
"Great, now you're starting to sound like Candace, now lets get you fixed up!" Luna said opening the huge doors of what they said was the portable wardrobe.
It was bigger than my closet!
Also, if you're wondering what Finn is doing right now, I sent him to go play outside with the animals until we're done.
"Alright, ready Candace?" Luna asked.
"R-ready Luna!" Candace replied.
"Are YOU ready Molly?" They both said.
"Umm…I'm not so sure anymore…" I said.
"Oh well…" Candace began.
"TOO BAD!" Luna shouted.
About an hour later…
I looked at myself in the mirror…
I looked like awesome!
Sure it wasn't too fancy, but it was great!
It was a pink tank top with white flowery designs on it. It also had a ribbon in the back which you could tie back to make it tighter. Underneath that was a white camisole. I was also wearing dark blue shorts underneath and white, raised flip flops.
They didn't do much to my hair but they did a thorough brush through it and put a cute pink flower clip in it to keep a piece of stray hair that wouldn't stay down.
I also wore the silver necklace that I made when I first got here.
It was of course, silver with a diamond in the center of it.
"You look cute!" Luna said sweetly.
"Y-yes very!" Candace agreed.
"Thanks you guys! I love it!" I said giving them both a huge hug.
"I'm glad you like it! You can keep the outfit I you like!" Luna offered.
"N-no! I couldn't you guys!" I said.
"Please we insist." Candace said.
Did she just say a sentence without stumbling?
"Candace did you just…" Luna said, completely surprised.
"Yes, I guess…I did!" Candace said cheerfully.
Luna smiled from ear to ear and I did the same.
"Hmmm, we should go." Luna said looking at the time.
"Yeah, I guess I'll see you guys at the festival?" I asked, hoping they would be there.
Sure I wanted to be alone with Chase, but I needed people there to back me up in case things turn terrible.
"Yup!" They both said.
"Who are you guys going with?" I asked.
"I'm going with Bo!" Luna said.
"I'm not going with anyone…" Candace said sadly.
*Knock knock knock!*
I went to go answer the door, surprised to see Julius standing there looking as girlyish as ever.
"Oh, hi Julius! What are you doing here?" I asked.
From the corner of my eye I could see Candace turn the deepest shade of red.
"Hey, this is gonna sound awkward, but is Candace here?" Julius asked, blushing.
"Oh, uh yeah, she's right here. Why?" I asked, although I think I already knew what was going to happen.
"I just need to…uhh… talk to her." He said. I never heard Julius stumble before.
"Ok? Candace? Julius wants to talk to you!" I yelled in the house.
She quickly ran outside.
"Shhh…" Luna whispered pointing to the back door.
I nodded and we quickly escaped the house.
We decided to hide behind a near by bush so we wouldn't be seen.
"So…umm…Candace, I was just wondering…?" Julius quickly said.
"Ummm…I would love too." Candace said.
"Hehe, that's great! You stuttering stopped! That's great!" Julius laughed.
"Yeah, I guess." Candace said.
"So, I'll see you there?" Julius asked, making sure this wasn't a trick.
"Can't wait!" Candace said cheerfully.
"Alright then, see you soon! Julius waved, and with that he ran off happily. In fact I could've sworn I saw him kick his heels together in happiness.
Candace just stood there amazed.
When Julius was clear out of sight, Luna and I jumped up from our bush, nearly giving Candace a heart attack.
"Now, you have a date!" I said.
"Yeah…I guess…" Candace said blushing.
"Oh, it's getting late, can we just get ready here?" Luna asked, looking at her watch.
"Of course!" I said.
The 3 of us went inside with high spirits, thinking tonight is going to be awesome.
½ hour later…
Luna, Candace and I were on our way to the festival, all pretty'd up.
Once we got there, we were greeted by Hamilton and Gill. The 5 of us talked for a bit until Julius and Bo got there.
Luna and Candace went off with their respective dates, which left me, Gill and Hamilton to talk.
Then Hamilton went to go greet more people so it was just me and Gill.
Soon, Angela popped up out of nowhere.
"Are you guys together?" I asked the two.
"You could say that." Angela blushed.
"Who are you going with, I completely forgot to ask!" Gill asked.
"I'm with Chase tonight, but he obviously isn't here yet!" I laughed a nervous laugh.
"Well you don't have to worry about that!" Angela said pointing to the hill.
I turned around and sure enough, Chase was standing there.
He…looked…ADORABLE!
He was wearing a white button up t-shirt, black pants and black shoes. His hair seemed to blow in the wind.
"Ah, Molly! There you are!" Chase said, rushing over to me.
"Looking good buddy!" Gill laughed.
"Ha, you too!" Chase replied back.
"We'll see you guys later!" I said waving to the happy couple.
"Bye! Have fuuunnn!" Angela sang happily.
I could see Gill mouth to Chase, "Take her arm!"
He then quickly let me wrap my arm around his.
"You're looking…uhh…very pretty tonight Molly!" Chase said.
"Hmmm, you're looking pretty handsome yourself!" I said back.
He smiled warmly at me.
He led me to a blanket right on the rivers edge and let me sit down.
We talked for what seemed like forever, and it was very, very relaxing.
It was finally time for us to put the flowers in the water.
Mine was a reddish pink and Chase's was blue.
I was kneeling down to put mine in the water and Chase was standing next to me, hand on shoulder when we heard 10 people yell…
"KODAK MOMENT!" And about 10 cameras went off at the same time.
I immediately got up and due to all the flashes, I toppled over Chase.
We both laughed and I helped him up.
Everyone else laughed and smiled at that cute moment.
Simon (still with that weird tint in his eyes, but it was going away) showed us the picture he took, which was by far the best of them all.
I decided to buy it, when Chase offered to pay for it.
A chorus of awwwww's filled the air.
"Oh shut up!" Chase snapped.
I just giggled.
We resumed to putting the paper flowers in the water.
They floated down the river together the entire time.
When all of them were out of site, Chase grabbed my hand and smiled.
I returned the smile and sat back down.
Soon, the fireflies appeared and filled the air.
It was beautiful.
My hand still in Chase's, his grip tightened.
I squeezed back and we just laughed.
The festival ended after that.
We waved goodbye to our friends and Chase decided to walk me home.
"I had fun tonight Molly." Chase said, blushing wildly.
"Me too." I said.
We were now at my door, and we just stood there for a moment.
"Umm…I guess I should go now…" Chase said looking down.
"Oh, Ummm, yeah I guess…" I said.
"Goodnight Molly." Chase said, gripping on to my hand tighter.
"Yeah…Goodnight Chase." I said.
He wouldn't let go of my hand.
I really didn't want him to.
"Ummm…yeah…so I guess I'll see you at practice tomorrow?" I said.
"Yeah…" He said.
I then hugged him tightly and he hugged back.
It was a friendly hug!
Nothing like a loving hug!
We then let go and I backed inside.
He waved and ran off, I think I could see a smile on his face!
I sighed and completely backed into the house.
Finn started to interrogated me about everything that happened outside, for he had come home early.
Once 20 questions was done, I fell asleep easily.
With very sweet dreams.
Well, here we are! The long awaited chapter! I'm sorry if it's not that good, but I thought it was cute! Haha, well s'laters!
