"What a beautiful morning" said Brooke stretching herself awake.
"Looks like it's going to be clear sky's all day" Brooke continued as she threw the blinds open.
"Ugh... Brooke" Molly grumbled as she pulled the sheets over her head to be shielded from the light.
"Come on Molly we have a nice day ahead of us" said Brooke enthusiastically.
"We do?" Molly mumbled.
"Yep nothing to big though a trip to the mall is all" said Brooke.
"The mall?" asked Molly.
"Yes I just need to return something to glamour then I think a quick trip to the arcade for the girls and then lunch at that pretzel place" said Brooke.
"Sounds good" sad Molly.
The rest of the early morning was spent waking up Bonnie and Sarah, eating a quick breakfast, and waiting for the bus to the mall. The returns desk of Glamour was at the very back of the store and upon arriving the two tween's and two children found someone already there. A young tween girl was reluctantly taking outfits out of two storage bins while her mother watched. As soon as they she had the desk in sights Molly recognized the pair it was none other then Tracy and her mother.
"This is so unfair" said Tracy to her mother.
"Oh your punishment is just starting up" her mother responded she then noticed Molly.
"Oh hello Molly how are you" Tracy's mother greeted.
"Hi Mrs. Monks I'm good ho about you?" Molly responded.
"Not so much dear I found out I have a delinquent for a daughter" said Mrs. Monks.
"Oh you found out about the Alcohol" said Molly. In one swift motion Mrs. Monks grabbed Tracy by her shirt and brought her closer.
"The what?" Mrs. Monk asked.
"Ok so we had a few sips at the party" Tracy admitted. Molly gave a silent signal to Brooke.
"Hey girl's how about a quick bathroom run" said Brooke leading Bonnie and Sarah away.
"A little" Molly laughed "you guys came back completely hung over".
"Came back you mean you were not with them?" asked Mrs. Monks.
"Of course not I was at the house caring for poor sick Bonnie" said Molly. Mrs. Monks grabbed her daughter's ear.
"Tracy Catherine Monks you told me all four of you went to that collage party and left the girl with a neighbor" said Mrs. Monks.
"Now I find out that you left Molly alone with a sick child while you went off partying" she continued.
"Molly tell me everything that happened this week I want the full story" Mrs. Monks demanded.
"And then Tracy hit Bonnie and I told her, Jenna, and Hazel to get out but I admit I kind of punched Tracy on the way out" said Moll finishing her story.
"Young lady you wait till we get home" said Mrs. Monks as she dragged Tracy out of the store.
"I had fun Molly" said Bonnie as they got off the bus and walked down the street to Bonnie's house.
"So did I Bon" said Molly as she took her key out of her purse.
"Hey Molly do you wanna play?" asked Bonnie.
"Sure Bon you get everything ready while I put my purse away" said Molly.
Walking into the guest room Molly's eyes fell on the gift that Tracy had bought for her younger sister. "Might as well throw it out" said Molly to herself as she picked up the tall package.
"Hey Molly what's that?" asked Bonnie as Molly walked through the living room.
"Oh just something Tracy bought I'm going to throw it out" said Molly.
"What is it?" asked Bonnie curiously.
"I don't know" Molly responded. "Can we open it and see what it is?" asked Bonnie.
"I guess but knowing Tracy it's probably a used coloring book" said Molly as she ripped the top of the cardboard box. Whatever it was it was fragile and was wrapped in bubble wrap through the wrap Molly could see it was a lamp but what really caught her eye was that there was something familiar about the lamp shade. "It can't be" said Molly out loud.
"It can't be what?" asked Bonnie curiously. Molly however was not listening she was unrolling the bubble wrap unbelievingly. At last the final layer of wrap had shed and there she stood wearing her signature dress and carrying her shepherds cane. Molly took the doll of the lamp and brought it close to her
"I missed you" she whispered. Molly glanced over at Bonnie who was looking up at her babysitter with slight concern.
"Bonnie this is Bo Peep" said Molly as she lowered Bo and showed her to her young charge. The rest of the day and night was filled with fun and games of Bonnie's active imagination.
The next morning Molly stretched herself awake "what happened?" Molly asked herself as she glanced around the guest room. Bonnie's toys and a few arts and crafts were scattered around the room and little Bonnie was sleeping at Molly's side. "Guess we got a little carried away with playtime" said Molly to herself as she sneaked a kiss on Bonnie's cheek. It was only after a moment that Molly realized that today was Saturday her last day of babysitting Bonnie. "Gee I'm going to miss you" said Molly to the sleeping Bonnie. Molly then glanced around the room all of Andy's toys seemed so in place with Bonnie for the longest time after her brother had left for collage Molly had asked herself why he would just give away his toy's that she his own sister had never been allowed to touch. Now however she understood because he loved his toys so much that he knew that he had to make sure that they were where they were happiest. A place where they could do what they were made to do make a child happy and they couldn't be in better hands. "You couldn't find a sweeter girl if you traveled the whole world" said Molly to herself as she stroked Bonnie's hair. Molly got out of bed and began cleaning up the room placing each toy near Bonnie while gathering her own possessions. Eventually Bonnie woke herself up with a yawn. "Good morning Bon" Molly greeted.
"Hi Molly what you doing?" asked Bonnie as she glanced at Molly's open bag.
"Just packing your mom said she would be back at noon today" said Molly.
"You're leaving?" asked Bonnie as a tear slipped from her eye.
"Oh Bon don't cry" Molly pleaded as she ran to the bed and hugged Bonnie.
"I don't want you to leave" said Bonnie.
"Oh I promise I will come back and visit" said Molly.
"It's not the same" said Bonnie.
Molly looked over at the nightstand where Bo Peep stood. "Bon I have a favor to ask you" said Molly Bonnie looked up curiously. "It's about Bo Peep" Molly began. "See Bo is the type of toy who go's wherever she's most needed and like all toy's she was made to make children happy" Molly went on. "She was my best friend since I was in the crib" Molly went on. "She's loyal she does not have allot to say but she'll always listen but the thing that makes Bo special is that you'll never forget about her" Molly continued. "Ever you'll remember her and she'll be your friend no matter what" said Molly looking at Bo then turning her attention to Bonnie. "See as much as I would love to have Bo back in my room I just don't think I can play with her as much as I used to I need someone to look after her and love her someone who can play with her and make her happy" said Molly. "Think you could do that for me?" Molly asked. Bonnie gave a tearful nod and the two hug until they hear a voice from the living room.
"Girl's I'm home" called Mrs. Anderson's voice. "Girl's?" Mrs. Anderson repeated as she began getting closer to the guest room. "Oh there you two are" said Mrs. Anderson as she opened the door.
"Hi Mommy" said Bonnie cheerfully.
"Hi Sweetie" said Mrs. Anderson as she walked to the bed and hugged her daughter. "How was your week?" asked Mrs. Anderson.
"Can Molly live with us?" asked Bonnie seriously and hopefully making both Molly and Mrs. Anderson chuckle.
"No dear Molly has to go home" said Mrs. Anderson she then looked at Molly and thought for a moment before adding "dear why don't you put your toys in you're room I have to talk to Molly".
"Ok" said Bonnie as she gather up her toys and Bo Peep and headed to her room.
"So how was she?" Mrs. Anderson asked Molly.
"Oh she was just a little angel" said Molly "I'm really going to miss her" she added.
"You don't have to with my schedule I'm going to need a babysitter allot more" said Mrs. Anderson.
"Are you asking what I think you're asking?" Molly asked hopefully.
"Molly Davis how would you like to be my go to babysitter from now on?" asked Mrs. Anderson.
"Yes" replied Molly loudly "I mean yes" she said more quietly.
"Then can I count on you Wednesday at four?" asked Mrs. Anderson.
"Of course" said Molly and the two sealed the deal with a handshake. After telling Bonnie the good news and receiving a delighted squeal from the young girl Molly headed for home. "Well one thing's for sure" Molly thought to herself "my report is going to write it's self and it's going to be a great summer".
