Chapter 2! The main parts of the story will be in the next chapter and onwards so just hang in there people who are reading this.

The following morning, Molly was awakened by a loud knock on her door. Finn wriggled underneath the covers as she pulled on her robe and walked to the door, opening it with a yawn. There stood Kathy giving her a scary glare.

"What'd I do?" Molly mumbled.

"Why'd you let me drink so much last night?" Kathy muttered back and shuffled into her house.

"You were already buzzed by the time I got to the bar so your argument is denied m'am." Molly said closing the door and getting her friend some water.

Kathy plopped down on the couch and put her feet up.

"You know I have the worst hang-overs ever!" Kathy whined.

"Then why are you all the way out here instead of being at home and resting for your shift tonight?"

"I'm here so I can do…this!" Kathy gave her friend a swift kick in the butt producing an amusing "eep" from Molly who turned to her with a more than livid look.

"HEY!" Molly began but Kathy just "tsked" her.

"It's what you get for making a mess at the bar and not cleaning it up!"

"How do you know about that?" Molly rubbed her backside.

"How could I NOT know? Chase called me at around 2 in the damn morning complaining about you! He said next time I bring you you're getting a plastic sippy cup so that at least if you knock it over it won't spill. I don't need to be complained to about you lil' Missy!"

"I'm not a little kid you know." Molly muttered, she felt her cheeks grow hot from remembering her screw-ups at the bar last night.

"Oh yeah. He said something about children too! Or was it childish behavior? Eh, either or he called you a child, I sorta agree." Kathy taunted Molly but held her head in her hands as soon as she did. Her hang-over was causing her tremendous head pain and she was really bad about the whole "resting" thing, obviously.

"Do you want me to kick you out?" At this Kathy took a drink from her water.

"No. But I'm serious Molls. You act like you don't even know the other gender exists."

"I don't want to hear that from you! You're too concentrated on horses to notice Owen eyeing you!"

Kathy made a "pssh" sound and rolled her eyes, lying her head down on Molly's comfy couch.

"No, I notice. I'm doing something called "playing hard to get"." Kathy stated, quite seriously, making Molly stare at her like she was crazy.

"Why would you do that if he already likes you?"

"It's because if you let a guy get what he wants right away he'll try to have his cake and eat it too."

Molly nodded slightly as if she got what Kathy meant, but in reality, she really didn't understand. In that aspect, she really did feel like a little kid. Calvin was talking about Phoebe and how great she was. Luke was always talking about what kind of girls he liked, and every time a cute girl from another town came to the bar he was the first to flirt. She thought about the way she acted around guys that weren't her good friends, Calvin and Luke, and started to unconsciously bite her lip.

"See there you go! Every time you even think of a guy you get flustered and bite your lip!" Kathy teased the girl.

"I-I do not!" Molly argued back.

"Calvin says that guys will pick on you at this rate."

Molly quietly resigned her argument. She knew all too well that she was never good at handling guys ever since middle school passed. Guys would always pick on her so her confidence around them had become extremely low. She would even get nervous from just looking at Chase! But she guessed that it was because Chase was always so angry and off-standish that it was intimidating.

"You're biting your lip again…" Kathy muttered from the couch.

Well she didn't need someone reminding her every time she did it. It was bad enough that she was aware of it herself, wasn't it? In her aggravation, Molly made her way over to Kathy's resting spot and produced a deafening shout in her ear.

"STOP REMINDING ME!"

"AHHHHHHHHH THE TORTURE!" Kathy groaned. Her hang-over and Molly's scream were definitely not a good mixture.

"I'll let you crash on the couch for a while, Kathy. But you better be sure to get your butt up before I head off to buy some more seeds. I need to plant some more carrots and onions before Winter rolls around."

"Yeah yeah yeah. I don't care about your minor farming issues."

"You will if it means none of my famous stew for the Winter!"

Kathy perked up.

"You're gonna make some stew?" She asked a little livelier now.

"Not if I have to watch you which means I can't make the long hike to Flute Fields to get the seeds to grow the crops so I can harvest them to-"

"I'm going right now! You don't even have to worry! Just think stew!" Kathy smiled drinking the remaining water in her glass and headed out the door.

Molly shook her head and went to get dressed for the day.

"I really need to upgrade the farm…" Molly muttered when she looked at her beat up barn and coop. Even her house was really dingy.

"You just need to work a little harder! You can do it Molly!" Finn encouraged her.

Molly pumped her fist in the air in determination, her silent way of agreeing with him, and set off to take care of her animals.

"How are you guys today?" She called out to her two cows and her sheep.

She did the basic routine of the day. First she put the fodder in their bins for tomorrow and then she pet them all. She brushed Mareep (her sheep) very carefully so that her wool would grow back nice and shiny. She then looked at Midnight, her black cow that was the first resident on her farm, and gave her a big smile. The cow mooed back happily. She was her most precious animal friend. She gave shining milk everyday and seemed like the leader of the animals. She was also good for transportation when it was needed. Molly quickly gave her black and white cow, Millie, a hug and headed to the coop to see her ducks and chickens. After tending to them she let them out into the field to graze.

"They look very happy!" Finn seemed glad.

"Yep. I'm very fortunate to have such great animals." Molly sighed happily and started her walk to Flute Fields. She almost forgot all about the conversation concerning the rogue sprite.

…Well almost.

Well I hope you guys like it so far. I'm really trying. Please review and let me hear your thoughts. I'd be oh so thankful!
