I decided to make another chapter today. Yipeeeee!
Much love to my fresh reviewers!
Mishaay: Words can't explain how happy I was when you told me you joined the sight just to review my writing. That brought the most enthusiasm to me today so I just made a super long chapter because I was too happy.
Frankiegirl2020: They probably should go to Jin first but Molly's friends are definitely not the brightest. I'm afraid I may have reduced Calvin's IQ by a little in this fanfic (sorry Calvin fans!) And don't fret about not reviewing previously, as long as you reviewed now :)!
.: Thanks for your feedback on perverted Jin. I made him a little more serious in this chapter but perverted Jin shall arise again when I find a good scene to put him in. Hahaha. Jin's dark side I suppose you could say.
To my constant reviewers... you are just the greatest. My first fanfic and you've given so much love and feedback, it's encouraging to have the readers come back and review even if they've already reviewed. It makes my day it really does!
Forward...MARCH!
"Well...Looks like I'm almost to Castanet."
"Hey there lass. You look a might familiar to me. Have I set sail with you before?" The old man named Pascal talked to me with a friendly tone. I shook my head.
"No, but people say I look a lot like my sister, Molly. Well, I'd guess it has to do with the fact that we're fraternal twins. But you could easily get us confused if you didn't pay attention to the hair and the shade of the eyes." I bowed slightly to Pascal.
"I'm Angela by the way."
Pascal nodded at me. "So, which one's the older one out of ya?"
"Oh. I'm sorry sir. I would tell you if I knew but, gracious me our parents never got the chance to tell us." I replied.
"Oh. I remember Molly saying that your parents had left you two at home before they left for their round-the-world trip."
"Round-the-world?" A light bulb switched on in my head.
"Ah. Yes! They left us quite some time ago. I hope they're well."
"You should give them a call when you arrive." Pascal said happily.
"Yes'sir. I definitely will." I said smiling brightly.
I decided to get some sleep before we arrived. I wonder how Molly was doing.
~Molly's POV~
I knew I was dreaming. But it seemed so real when I came face to face with my sister, Angela.
"Angela? Angela is that really you?"
I called, hoping that maybe it was one of those things that sometimes happened with twins, you know, where they could talk to each other telepathically kind of. She looked at me and then her eyes widened and tears sprung to her eyes.
"Molly! Molly it's me! Oh my Goddess look at you! You look so pretty!" She tried to reach out to hug me but it seemed that we were floating in oblivion. It was pretty hard to move around at all. I smiled at her and she stopped, she looked disappointed not being able to touch me.
I scoffed at her comment. "I look pretty? Have you looked in the mirror lately? You're gorgeous!" I felt a pang in my heart. Now I understood why she was so upset. I wanted to hug her too!
"Oh stop! Guess what though! I'm going to be on the island tomorrow morning! Around 10!" I gasped.
"So soon! Oh Angel I really wished that you didn't come! Not now!" I said, pained the moment the words left my mouth.
"B-But why? don't you wanna see me Molly?" Angela started to whimper.
"Yes! YES! A thousand times yes but! Just so much is happening! I don't want you to get hurt!"
"Whaddya mean?" I explained to Angela first how great the island was, my friends, and the incident that happened yesterday between me and Chase. She nodded along in sympathy, knowing my fear for boys that this one guy didn't seem to get from my actions which were obvious as Angela tells me. Then I explained to her the event and how Finn (she knows who Finn is from my constant letters to her) told me about the Rogue Sprite and how it almost killed me and wants to get rid of everyone who can help the Harvest Goddess. I knew that because she was my sister, she would be able to help the Harvest Goddess too and right as I explained that a glow came into the midst of the blackness surrounding our floating bodies.
"I knew I felt the two of you here." The voice of the Harvest Goddess came. Without Angela or I even asking why she was there, she made her statement simple.
"Now that Angela is on her way, we will be able to face the foe easier. When two beings of pure heart are together they are able to see the dark sprite. You must find out who is behind the Rogue Sprite and stop them. Their true intentions are not yet clear to me but it is clear that they want Molly dead. And Angela, I'm sure that they want the same of you. I'll watch over you the best I can but I'm still very weak. It's using up a lot of power from me just talking to you like this. I'm sure you know that the quest for the bells is still very important so please work hard. Finn will guide you both along your way. I'm losing my ability to communicate now so I shall take my leave. Come to me if you find anything of importance. Good-bye." And with that brief speech the Goddess was gone. Knowing what to do now, Angela and I went on with our plans for when she got there.
"I already thought it through and I bought the river plot just before I got the tickets to the boat. The Mayor assured me that they'd have everything fixed up for me there soon." I nodded at this.
"I have extra room from upgrading my house to level 2. So if you need somewhere to stay just barge in the front door." That's when I heard a voice ripple through mine and my sister's domain.
"I think she's waking up..." Came Jin's voice.
"What's going on?" Angela asked.
"I guess when I passed out, Chase took me to the clinic." Angela became shocked.
"You didn't tell me you passed out!"
"Don't worry Angel. I'm not hurt, though I guess I have to thank Chase when I see him next." I shuddered at the thought and Angela giggled.
"Okay. Promise to meet me at the docks?" Angela asked hopefully.
"Even if I have to climb out of my bed and drag myself to meet you!" Angela and I shared a giggle before I opened my eyes to see Jin and Chase staring at me.
Wait...CHASE!
I sat up in bed and stared at the both of them, who in turn stared at me. I looked at Chase and noticed he held a couple of bags in his hands. I stared blankly at the bags and then pointed to them inquisitively.
"Oh! I grabbed some clothes for you. And I brought you a meal. It's the least I can do for scaring you away the other day." Chase said nonchalantly.
I nodded silently and took the items from him. Looking inside the clothes bag I saw my Yellow Casual outfit and upon further inspection...my lingerie. My face turned so red that I'm sure Gill would've thought it a very nice gift of a tomato.
"Chase...You went through my underwear drawer?" I asked startled.
"You want to shower right?" Chase asked. I only stared at the contents. What all had he seen? I had some questionable outfits in there too, but that's only because Kathy had insisted on me getting them. I told her that they would only bring trouble later on but nooooo, what Kathy says goes! She went so far as to even ask Calvin and Luke their opinion of the lingerie. And Calvin and Luke had the nerve to give their honest opinions! Who did they think they were? Julius?
"Molly...you're biting your lip again." Jin's voice said.
"WAAAAH!" I cried out in embarrassment. I ran to the way Jin had pointed to, indicating that the shower was that way.
I took a quick shower and packed my other clothes in the bag and put on the clothes that Chase had brought me. As soon as I was finished I came to a stop in front of Jin and Chase.
"Th-Thank you both..." I mumbled, too embarrassed to look at them.
"You should really thank Chase more. He rode all the way here on your cow with you just to make sure you got here in time."
I looked up at Chase skeptically.
"Which cow?"
"The black one." He stated and my eyes grew wide.
"H-How? Midnight doesn't let a stranger near her!" I exclaimed. That was too amazing.
"Well, I don't know then." Chase and I stared at each other for what seemed like forever. I started to wonder why he was still here.
"So...I'm trying really hard not to come off as being mean but I...Well...Why are you still here?" Chase looked at me and I thought that I had pressed another wrong button again. I shut my eyes, waiting for his shouting but when it didn't come I looked up to see a stern, and intimidating Chase looking at me.
"Uhh...umm..." Was all I could muster up to say.
"I'm here because you're clumsy and if I leave you alone while you're still healing and you get hurt again I'm not going to forgive myself."
"Umm...Well...I have...some business to attend to...at 10 tomorrow..." I heard my voice getting quieter and quieter.
"You've been asleep since yesterday morning." Jin pointed out. I looked outside and saw the sun in the sky.
"Oh."
"And it's a minute to 10 right now Molly." Chase informed me.
"Oh." Was all I could say which caused them to give me very worried stares...until reality finally set in and my eyes grew wide. I softly dropped the bag of food Chase had offered to me.
"Oh! OH OH!" I started to jump up and down hastily.
"H-Hey! Don't move around so much! You can't go until I release you!" Jin shouted a little out of character towards me.
"Look at the time, today's the date. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" I said suddenly reciting rhymes.
"Molly?"
"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!" I glanced at the clock that now read 10:03, I disregarded Jin's orders and I sprinted out the clinic door.
"Hey! COME BACK HERE YOU FRICKIN WHITE RABBIT!" I could hear Chase scream after me. I actually thought it was cute that he knew what I was mimicking. Alice In Wonderland had always been one of Angela's and mine's very favorite books as children.
Ignoring Chase's calls I rushed to the dock, already Hamilton and a few others gathering round as the new villager stepped off, looking around with worry and confusion.
"Molly! Wait! You're still in no condition to go anywhere!" Chase called out to me even louder, causing everyone including Angela to turn to me. Her chocolate brown eyes turned to meet my dark caramel ones. She dropped her luggage slowly and she stood with the most unbelieving face in the world. I knew that I had the same look on my face. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes and I could see the tears in hers threatening to fall. Time seemed to change seconds into hours as Angela started to push past the crowd and came running to meet me half-way.
"ANGELAAAAAAAA!"
"MOLLYYYYYY!"
We spread our arms out like an eagles as we approached the other and squealed with delight as we crushed one another in the hug of the century. The tears streamed down our faces, and both of us being so overly moved with emotion, we sunk to the ground while holding on the each other. Our foreheads laid against the others and we smiled through bitter-sweet tears. I had my twin back. My sister was finally by my side again.
"Molly! Hey, Molly! What's the matter with you? Is this the business you had to attend to?" Chase called from above us.
~Angela's POV~
As we slumped to the ground in emotional overload, we smiled and a few giggles could be made out through the sniffling and sobbing. Suddenly.
"Molly! Hey, Molly! What's the matter with you? Is this the business you had to attend to?" Reluctantly, I took my gaze away from my beloved twin and glanced up to be pierced with madly violent violet hues. I almost cringed with fear at the man with the apron standing above us. His air was intimidating and his black long-sleeved shirt was rolled up slightly to reveal finely tone and cut muscles. His exotic hair was breathtakingly wavy with hair clips in it. He wore blue jeans and sandals to tie off his look. In short, a handsome man had been calling out desperately to my sister. That's when I noticed Molly turning rigid and digging her head into my chest like she would so often do when she just got the shock of her life.
"Sorry, Chase..." Her muffled voice sounded.
'Chase? As in, the Chase who made my sister cry after she got hurt Chase?'
I looked up at him and, without Molly noticing, I glowered at him. He gave me a surprised look, but the moment he returned with a look almost as fierce as mine is the moment I knew that he was a challenge for Molly indeed. She had a bad experience with his type, the boy pushed her down when she was already at her most vulnerable. The type that was angered easily, he seemed a little anti-sociable too.
"Ummm...Miss Angela?" Came a voice almost as timid as Molly's. Molly and I now glanced to the villagers behind us to see that the voice belonged to a blue haired, blue-eyed girl standing next to a girl with pink hair and the same color eyes. Among them were various other villagers. Molly and I looked at each other and we both flushed red.
"How embarrassing!" We both chuckled out simultaneously and we giggled with flushed pink cheeks.

"So, you're twins?" Candace and Luna (the girls from earlier) sat across from us in the clinic along with Chase, who I figured out to be the chef of the local bar, standing beside Doctor Jin (a fairly handsome man himself) murmuring something about Molly who sat next beside me.
"Yup." We replied.
"But you guys look different from one another." Luna, the pink-haired girl, stated.
"Luna..." Candace, the blue-haired girl, chided her.
"It's okay, Candace. Angel and I really don't look the same." Molly said, using the affectionate nickname she gave me as very, extremely young girls.
"That's right, but Dolly and I are definitely linked as twins." I said, also using her childhood nickname.
"We're fraternal." We told them, both of us grinning from ear to ear. We looked at each other and suddenly said, "It's been too long!" At the same time.
It felt so good to have my twin back...
~Chase's POV~
I looked at the girl that Molly had not too long ago, slumped to the ground in tears with. The girl already didn't like me, Goddess knows why because I sure don't! I sighed.
"Upset?" Jin asked.
"Course not." I responded.
"Oh. I just thought you would be, seeing as how you're precious Molly has forgotten all about you for her sweet twin Angela." Jin said.
"Are you mocking me? Cuz it feels like you're mocking me." I gave him a dull look as he sipped his tea, a smile spreading across his lips.
"You guessed right. Do you wanna cookie?" Yeah, he was mocking me.
"Well besides that. Did you know that Molly had a twin?" Jin tilted his head slightly at my question.
"No, and that bothers me. Molly didn't put anything about her relatives down on her medical application forms. Now suddenly she has a twin. And Angela has on her forms only their parents names and where they are. And have you heard their back story yet?" Jin began.
"No. Why? What's wrong with it?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.
"It seems their parents left for a trip around the world around the time that the girls were 7 years of age."
"Yeah? And?"
Jin looked at me worriedly.
"Yes. Well, that was 13 years ago Chase. They aren't back yet apparently. And have you ever seen or heard a clue about Molly's parents for the whole half a year she's been here?" Jin's brow furrowed now. That was a bit strange.
"Maybe they don't get along with their parents." Jin shook his head.
"I don't know Chase. I'm going to have to do some more research on this matter. If these girls have problems with even simple things, if I don't know their parents medical history then how can I possibly know what to treat them with?"
"Just hope they don't get sick?" Jin raised an eyebrow at me.
"Everyone gets sick at some point Chase. I don't want to risk their health. Until I get more information on them, would you be sure to keep an eye on them for me?" Jin gave me a smile.
"Wh-WHAT! Why me! Hey! JIN!" I grumbled as I turned to the girls who were now waving good-bye to the Tailor sisters. I accidentally met Molly's gaze and she flushed red and looked down, biting her lip as usual. I sighed and scratched the back of my head.
"Well, Jin needs me to walk you home Molly."
"I can walk her home just fine." Angela cut in.
"You need to go see Mayor Hamilton and meet the rest of the villagers. Right now, your sister needs rest!" Angela glared at me but when we heard Molly break out into a coughing fit we both rushed to her.
"I'm fine...really." Molly said meekly smiling at her sister. She looked at me and bit her lip again. I was actually growing accustomed to that reaction...
'Stay focused, Chase!' I screamed in my head.
"Well, let's get you back to Harmony Farm." I said helping Molly up. She automatically became flustered so her sister nudged my hand away and held onto her protectively. She gave me a look that said "don't try anything." and I only sneered at her.
Molly then gasped from horror.
"I forgot to tend to the farm yesterday! And this morning too!" She exclaimed.
"Don't worry about that." I muttered.
"Huh?" Molly looked up at me with her caramel doe-eyes.
"I...well I took care of them yesterday and earlier this morning." I admitted.
Molly's eyes widened with shock but it melted into an expression of appreciation.
"Thank-you very much, Chase!"
"Yeah. Don't read into it too much. I only did it because it would be a pain to have to hear you cry about an animal getting sick or a crop dying." I muttered, leading the way to Harmony Farm, the twins right behind me.
~Meanwhile~
The evil sprite watched another image and exclaimed with fury, "The other girl is here! She's HERE!" It hissed, menacingly.
"Calm down, calm down. They won't be around for long. That is...if you do your job right." The bringer of the creature stated.
"Of course! You made me so of course I'll be able to do it."
Suddenly, another image that neither the sprite or the bringer made popped up in front of them.
"I see. You're up to no good again." The image was a communication way.
"Shut the hell up! There's no way I'm going to let them save that filthy village and it's Harvest Goddess!"
"Hmm...we'll see about that. Just remember that you'll have to go through me as well."
"Heheheh! You seem to be my only threat! Those girls won't last to the New Years...but that boy...he's getting on my nerves. I can feel his interference. What would you say if I got rid of him too?"
"Those girls won't go down easily. And I wouldn't underestimate that boy either. I'm watching you..." And with that. the communication way was cut off. Leaving the sprite and the bringer to ponder their next move.
And they had just the idea!
~Third Person~
"We got here just in time to confront them!" Kathy said with an eerie glee.
"I still don't think we should assume the worst." Calvin crossed his arms at his two, overly-determined friends as Chase, Molly, and the new girl, Angela (that was already being talked about) came up the path to Molly's house.
"We aren't assuming, Calvin. We're just asking a lot of questions concerning her sexual activities with Chase." Luke said, simple-minded.
"I could've been talking to Phoebe right about now." Calvin gave an exasperated sigh and waved as he saw Molly and Chase notice the trio.
