Hey everyone, chapter two is UP! The title is really weird, but really important! It took longer than I hoped it would because I was fighting minor writer's block and my mom and sister were hogging the computer… I also forgot to mention last chapter that this takes place in the summer and the following seasons. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and yet another thank you for no flames! Chase does not go on fire today Enjoy!

Chapter Two:

When I Thought He Was Mine,

She Caught Him By the Mouth

Angela's P.O.V

I rushed through my farm work the next morning so I could meet Kathy at Brownie Ranch at noon so she could help me get ready to ask Chase out. We couldn't do anything to my hair because it's so short… and the cowlick made matters worse, so we went straight to makeup. Kathy didn't want me to look to "done" so she applied some light pink eye shadow and lip gloss. Luna had somehow heard that I was going to ask someone out today so she gave me a new violet halter top and mini-jean-shorts with cute rhinestone designs. Once we were done(A/N Some makeover, huh?) Kathy looked me over and sighed

"Well, it's not much, but it's enough to get him to ask you out. He cares more about food than looks."

"Yup." I agreed. Then we began to go over the plan for tonight.

"I'm going to ask him out at six-thirty, that way, both you and Maya would have gone home and Yolanda wouldn't be there yet."

"And at seven I'll come by your house to see how everything went!" Kathy chirped. I checked my wristwatch.

"Wow, it's three o'clock! That took way longer that I thought we did, considering how little we've done."

"Well, we had to pick up that outfit from the tailor's…" Kathy said thoughtfully.

"That took ten minutes!"

"Nope." Kathy replied, countering my statement "Luna kept on trying to get you to buy something else remember?"

"Oh… yeah." I said, remembering the pink-haired midget that had been harassing me at the Tailor's Shop

"And besides," she continued, "there's no way that Chase is going to say no, you are an awesome person, slightly sarcastic but that's what makes you perfect for him!" Kathy finished her pep talk with a huge smile. Suddenly, I remembered something.

"Wait, don't you have a meeting at four?"

"Oh crap! I almost forgot!" Kathy exclaimed in sudden realization, and was gone in a flash

To burn time, I decided to hang with Candace, a sweet and almost painfully shy girl with long blue hair, and Luna the short, twelve-year-old looking girl who was harassing me earlier that day. I decided to take the long way through the Ganache Mine and Caramel River Districts, a.k.a "the scenic route" and by the time I had gotten to the tailor's it was four forty-five. Shelly, the owner of the shop, greeted me warmly as I stepped inside and she even let me say after they had closed for the day. While I was there Luna kept on trying to get me to tell her who I was going to ask out, which, needless to say, went terribly for Luna. Honestly, that girl couldn't convince a five-year-old to tell her something! When six-thirty rolled around I bowed saying my goodbyes, and headed to the Inn, Kathy's encouraging words echoing through my mind.

When I arrived at the Inn (nearly smacking my face against the door), I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. What I saw next left me standing there in shock.

Chase and Maya.

In front of the stairs.

Kissing.

'What!' I thought 'I thought he hated her!' Then, they broke apart and Maya was, to my dismay, grinning ear to ear while Chase said

"Alright Maya, I'll be your boyfriend."

At that moment, my heart felt like it shattered into a hundred thousand pieces (A/N cliché I know…) and I began to fight back tears. Chase noticed that they had an audience and stuttered, surprised.

"Oh, h-hi Angela." Maya whipped around to glare at me.

"Hey Chase… Maya." I said, trying to keep my voice steady. Boy, this was awkward.

"Did you come for a bit to eat?" Chase asked, trying and failing to ease the tension Maya and I were giving off.

'Uh, no Chase, I actually came to ask you if you would by my boyfriend.' Was what I wanted to say. What I really said was: "Um, no. I came to say 'hi.' 'cause I gotta get back to my farm."

"Oh, okay then." He replied. And with that, I ran home, tears streaming down my face.

About a half an hour later there was a knock on my door; Kathy, getting the details on how everything went. I answered the door and the first thing she said was,

"What the hell did Maya do?" it was her way of showing concern. She sat on my bed, waiting for me to begin; I swear I've never seen that girl so angry.

"Maya…Chase…Kissing…asked…boyfriend…yes…WAAAAAA!" was all I managed to get out before a fresh batch of tears erupted from my eyes. Kathy (thank Goddess) understands hysterics and got the whole story. She was silent for a few moments, and then she suddenly exploded

"What the fuck! That stupid bitch! I swear the next time I see her I will pummel her to pudding! Chase too! He likes YOU! Why the HELL would he say YES! I'm going to-"

"Kathy…" I squeaked. She stopped almost immediately. "Two things," I continued "One, you're really scaring me, two, you can pummel Maya all you want, but leave Chase alone, knowing Maya they won't last a season. I can wait." I finished my mini-speech with a sigh.

"Alright," Kathy said "but I just don't get it, he likes YOU! Why would he say 'yes' to Maya?"

"WHAT!"

"Ya, he likes you he told me. Why do you think I was so sure he would say 'yes'?"

"Umm, because you're a good friend! Besides if he liked me so much then why would he go out with Maya? He obviously just likes me as a friend."

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt." Kathy replied smugly "have you seen the way he looks at you?"

"Whatever Kathy…"I sighed. At least the tears were gone.

Kathy looked at the clock on my wall and squeaked "Eep! I have to go, it's almost nine!"

"ACK! My animals are still out!" I screamed in sudden realization.

"Don't worry, I'll put them back, you've had a loooooong day."

"Fine." I replied tiredly. We said our goodbyes and I fell asleep faster than usual.

In the days that followed Chase and Maya were almost inseparable, every time I saw them together was like a knife pierced my heart (A/N yet another cliché). I absolutely hated it, but I knew it would pass. That was one of Maya's many, many quirks… all (two) of her relationships work in three various stages; Stage One: Perfection which would usually last two-three weeks, Stage Two: Arguments which would last one week and Stage Three: The Meltdown which lasts a day or two. How do I know this? Renee-a sweet girl with short brow hair that cares for the animals on Brownie Ranch who also happens to be one of my close friends- told me about her past relationships; One with Toby, a lazy fisherman who never seems to open his eyes and white-blonde hair that Renee has had a crush on for FOREVER, and another with (unfortunately for Kathy) Owen, a tall blacksmith with short, spiky brown hair and muscles the size of bowling balls! Kathy has always like this guy… even though he's obsessed with drinking. The one thing both of these men have in common is that they have a strong stomach, which makes a lot of sense because Maya's cooking tastes like shit.

About two weeks after Chase had agreed to be Maya's boyfriend, I was on my way to the Inn because, quite frankly I was way too tired to fix my own dinner…plus I hadn't been there for more than two weeks! Everyone might be missing me…well, except Maya. When I walked in however, I happened to have walked in on (yet another) event between Chase and Maya.

'Oh Chasey-kins!" Maya called hopping into the kitchen where Chase was working, her hair sprayed braids flying anywhere and everywhere.

"Yeah…" Chase sighed turning around, his amazing violet eyes looking reproachful.

"Have you tried the dessert I made for you yet?"

"Erm… no," he looked uncomfortable. "I was going to ha-"

"WHAT!" Maya screamed, cutting him off. The whole bar seemed to be watching the scene unfold. "You've been off thinking of ways to make me feel terrible haven't you? No, that's not it, you've been flirting with that cow smelling An-ge-la!" She enunciated every syllable in my name as she shot daggers at me. I felt the eyes in the room snap their attention to me, watching my every move. She then 'humphed' and stomped away, nose in the air like a spoiled rich kid.

"Why that little…" I muttered as I began to follow her, now that they were no longer watching me I was going to give her a good talking to! A hand on my shoulder stopped me in my tracks. Kathy.

"Angela, don't. I know what you want to do, it'll just make it worse." Our eyes met and she gave me one of those 'you better listen or I'm going to pummel you to pudding' looks. Pummeling people to pudding is a specialty of hers.

"Fine…" I replied angrily as she removed he hand from my shoulder. Then I asked

"Kathy, do I really smell like cows?"

YES! It's finally done! I want to thank ChaosMorning for that last scene between Maya, Chase and Angela, without him, there would be no chapter now! This chapter is a LOT longer than the last O.o I warn you again no flames or I will set Chase on fire and he will be unable to do the disclaimer for the next chapter! R&R not Read & Run, Read & Review PWEASE!
