Silhouettes
Summer (Prompt 31-35)
Prompt: belong
It took Molly witnessing Jin and Anissa interacting to finally understand how lonely she felt.
Sure, she was friends with Luna and Candace, she was acquainted with everyone, but that was that.
It was so difficult to settle in a small community where everyone had a designated spot. Where was hers? Was she just an extra gear, unnecessary?
She felt very stupid, but to witness the threads linking the islanders and wonder how she was supposed to tie her own loose ones amidst the patchwork, to crave the silent trust Jin and Anissa had towards the other...
It hurt.
Prompt: ignore
If there was one characteristic Molly had that she was proud of, it was that she knew how to be polite. As long as she didn't let her emotions get in the way, of course.
Which was the reason why, as weird as it could seem, Julius did not spare even a glance every time she walked by him.
But I just didn't know! I wouldn't have called him 'Miss' otherwise!
A month later or so, she strolled into Sonata Tailoring to overhear him reveal to Candace that his new hobby was teasing the farmer into thinking he hated her.
Prompt: destination
She wasn't expecting Toby to knock on her door this morning, or for him to hurry her to the dock with a vague "you'll see".
Neither did she foresee the very familiar trio waiting by the fishery.
"Molly!" a short girl jumped in her arms.
"Molly!" mimicked with a falsetto one of the men as he crushed them both in a bear hug. He ignored the two's protests ("Argh, Kevin!" "Get. Off."), practically whining, "I missed you, little sis!"
Finally 'noticing' their glares, he released them.
Gently, the last visitor patted Molly on the head. "It's been a while, huh?"
Prompt: shine
Finn's POV
It's funny how happier Molly has been since her family arrived!
By family, I mean her little sister Angela, her older brother Kevin and the latter's best friend! Well, it basically means the same thing in their case.
There is such a difference between how she acted before and she does now – she smiles a lot more now! More importantly, she doesn't get mad at me as often, which is very good (though I don't understand why she gets angry in the first place?).
Although it seems obvious to me that Molly is weird around Kasey when they're alone, no?
Prompt: garden
Molly had missed Kevin. Really.
That didn't mean she didn't wish he would clam up once in a while.
"Look." Gritted teeth. "I invited you on Toucan Island because I wanted company. If I'd wanted background music, I would have brought a radio."
"So mean, Molly!"
"How did you end up married – to such a sweet girl?"
"Sweet indeed! The other day–"
Typically rambling about his wife... At least I don't have to reveal I'm looking for hibiscus flowers to save a witch-turned-frog so she'll hand me a bell that'll save Castanet.
...When did my life get so bizarre?
