Heyy! I'm back from my long term Hiatus! Sorry about that folks! After a cutsey little chappy, I'm about ready to get back to the main plot! What say you?

Chapter 19: Competition Worries

Molly's POV

Life was absolutely perfect!

Well until Caid announced that we'll be participating in a Band competition, competing against the best orchestras, bands, etc. IN THE WORLD!

Of course, it's exciting, but nerve wracking!

I mean, are we really good enough to compete against THE WORLD?

I mean, THE WORLD is a big place! And at times, I think we're pitiful!

Absolutely pitiful!

After the Music Fest, the judges watching us decided that we were good enough to compete!

HOW DO THEY GET THAT OUT OF US?

I mean yeah, we can be good, but at times we can absolutely suck!

It's like that band I heard of back in America in a state called Michigan I think? Apparently they went to their band competition, the students and the band teacher had no thought of getting anything higher than a 2. Yet they got a 1. A 1 is the best you could get in that competition.

I mean, I saw a video of them a few weeks before and they were terrible! The oboes kept talking, some of the flutes were out of tune, half of the trumpets couldn't play, it was terrible! But then I watched the video from the competition...

How did they get that good?

Apparently they're going to States, still not having any hope of even getting a 2.

I hope they do well...

But back to the main point at hand.

We're basically like that band in Michigan.

We can make or break a song.

I'm just hoping we make.

I've already done enough breaking with the fourth wall- CRACK!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

After practice, Chase walked me home silently.

The tension of the whole deal is getting to him to...

"Do you think we'll do okay?" I asked, breaking the silence.

He stopped walking and looked at me for a second.

"I'm not sure. I hope but...who knows..." He said quietly as if he was trying not to wake the sleeping animals in the trees.

"Why is it effecting you this much? You seem...I don't know, upset..." I said, matching his volume.

We reached my door and he brought me into a hug.

"Don't worry about it love, it's just something from a while back. I'll tell you tomorrow. Well maybe..." He said kissing my forehead and neck.

I pulled away and looked him in the eyes, "I thought we were going to be honest with each other?"

"I am being honest Molly. It truly is nothing!" He said with a smirk, "Now I have to go, I love you!"

I reluctantly gave up, "Mkay...bye..."

We pecked each other on the lips and he walked away.

I guess I have to trust Chase to tell me when he's ready.

I unlocked my door to find a...err...very disgusting surprise.

"Why hello Molly, lovely evening is it not?" Said Darien.

"Umm, what the hell are you doing in my house?" I snapped.

"Just thought I'd pay a little visit love, or is love just your idiotic boyfriend's little pet name for you?" he taunted.

"You know what Darien, it's one thing when you break into my house, but it's another when you insult Chase. Leave. Now. Or I'll call the Mayor." I said pointing to the door.

"What will that fatso do? And I don't have to if I don't want to." He said, sounding like a toddler.

"Kay, that's it. Leave. You're acting childish, now go."

"Nope!" He said, crossing his arms.

"Yes." I retorted.

"Do you want to know why I'm here? It's to persuade you to a few things." He said coming closer to me.

Creeper...

I stayed silent and he continued.

"For one thing, you really need to get some new clothes, that's so last season and secondly, you need to convince Caid to not take us to Globals."

"Why?" I questioned.

Why would we not want to go to Globals?

"I've been to Globals, it's a dog eat dog world. Very competitive. We have no chance whatsoever. I don't want to see all of your puny hearts get crushed." He said plainly.

"Do what J.B says, "Never Say Never!"

"I never said never, and even if I did, I'd never listen to Beaver!" He snapped.

"You just said never 3 times in that sentence..." I mumbled.

"Who cares! Just tell Cain not to go! Darien, OUT!" He said and with that he threw a smoke bomb and walked out the door.

Well that was odd...

The Next Day...

I was still debating whether to tell Cain to stop the plan to Globals or not...

I decided to turn to Kathy for advice.

"Well, I say you forget what Darien says and let's go to Globals!" She said punching her fist into the air.

"I want to but...what if he's right? What if we really will fail?" I asked quietly.

She leaned against the wall and sighed, "True, we might, but isn't the point having fun?"

"Well yeah but-"

"Then don't worry about it! I'm sure we'll do fine and that we'll have loads of fun!" Kathy said cheerfully.

"Hmm, I guess you're right!" I said, returning the cheerfulness.

"Crap, we gotta go!" Kathy said grabbing my arm, pulling me out the door.

Maybe Kathy's right, maybe we will do well!

Now I just have to worry about what Chase is going to tell me...

Well there ya have it! Not the best, but I promise the next one will be better! Now I have a question for you guys! Where should the orchestra go to Globals for? It doesn't have to be Harvest Moon themed it can be anywhere in the world! What ever one gets the most votes or whatever one I think sounds the best will be the winner! Okayleedoke! Talk to you later! Oh! And Happy Easter!(=
