~Molly's POV~

'I have a feeling this is not going to go well...'

I stared at my friends that were arriving from the Garmon Mine district. They all had the same looks on their face. Anticipation was it?

"The welcoming committee?" Angela questioned.

"Not exactly..." I muttered to her.

Chase raised an eyebrow as we approached Calvin, Luke, and Kathy. Probably because they were all somewhat staring at him as they glanced over at me.

"Hey guys. What's up?"

Kathy looked at me and then swiftly pointed to my door.

"Uh...Something up with my house?" She kept on pointing.

"Yes, Kathy...it's a house. The one that I'm getting ready to enter. Have you been drinking again because if-"

"In..." Kathy said with such demanding in her voice I felt myself wince.

Luke was crossing his arms in agreement and Calvin let out a sigh. I wonder if he even wanted to be here at the moment.

I noticed Angela looking at them with caution. A trace of anger was written on her face but she quickly let it go and looked at me. I nodded at her and she smiled halfway at me.

"Well, I'll be seeing you then." Chase said but before he could so much as turn, two arms took hold of him on either side and pulled him towards the house with us.

"Everyone in!" Kathy said strictly, she was now completely freaking me out.

With a sigh, I opened the door and everyone walked in behind me.

Chase took a seat in the armchair, Calvin and Luke sat at my dining table, Angela and I sat down on the sofa and Kathy took a place on the love seat in front of us.

We sat in my living room/dining room area for a good few minutes before Kathy opened her mouth to speak.

"So, where are you coming from Molly?" Kathy asked sweetly.

"The docks. I just picked up my sister, Angela. Angela this is my friend Kathy, and the two guys over there are Luke and Calvin." I gestured to the group in front of us.

"Okay, why is Chase with you?" I got nervous.

"Well, you see, I invited him back to thank him for helping me with farm work while I was sick." Angela glanced at me as I lied, she knew I was, it was a sister/twin thing I guess.

"Mhmm..." Kathy said suspiciously. I was tired and she was starting to get me angry.

"Look Kathy I-"

"No you look Molly! I'm going to ask you some questions that we want you to answer!" Kathy gestured to Luke and Calvin who sat at the table.

Angela gave Kathy a look like "WTF" and Chase looked intrigued. I gave a blank stare and nodded slowly.

"One! How did he..." She pointed at Chase. "The man that gets excessively angry with you! Know that you're sick before we do?" Kathy sounded hurt.

"I...I ran into him on my way to buy seeds. You remember Kathy, I was on my way there to buy the seeds after we talked that morning." I explained. It wasn't exactly a lie. I was just leaving out some things.

"Right...Two! Why did you tell him that you went to the clinic after you told us that you didn't?"

"To tell you the truth Kat...I didn't go to see Jin. I just told him that I did because..." I glanced at Chase who looked at me, obviously expecting me to blame it on him. I was going to...but I couldn't bring myself to lie on him like that. Chase might've gotten mad at me but it was my fault that I couldn't accept his help just because I was afraid of guys.

"I told him that I did because he had told me the previous day to go see him. He actually offered to help me but I told him I'd be fine by myself. I ended up not going. It was stupid of me because it got worse." I looked at Kathy, Luke, and Calvin. Surprisingly, they didn't seem convinced and I basically told them the truth.

"Three!" Kathy put a little too much anger into that one word.

"Both you and Chase weren't at the bar that night!" At this, I looked at Chase quizzically and saw he was looking at the ceiling in annoyance.

"I can understand the sickness making you stay home, but then why wasn't Chase there either?"

"M...Maybe he was sick too?" I more asked than stated.

"Yeah. And while you still seem a little sickly he just recovered miraculously?"

I shrugged and Kathy sighed in frustration.

"Just get to the point, Kathy!" Luke said causing Calvin to shoot him a glare.

"Okay...Molly, I'm just going to come right out and say it."

Kathy took a deep breath.

"Did you and Chase...I mean. Are you uh..."

"Argh! C'mon Kathy! Did Chase knock you up?" Luke yelled impatiently.

At this, mine, Angela's, and Chase's jaws dropped. Mouth agape, Angela started to tear up and she turned to me.

"Angela wait-"

"Does that mean you're FINALLY over you fear of boys! It's a weird way to find out but...Oh my gosh as long as you're happy Mo-"

"WHOA! Hold that thought! Don't even go any further!" Chase shouted.

"Yes! Get that thought out of your mind! ALL of you!" I jumped up.

"I am not pregnant! I am sick! And most of all!" I sucked my breath in.

"WE DID NOT HAVE SEX!" Chase and I screamed at the same time.

The word coming out my mouth caused me to get a bit flustered. That kind of talk was so embarrassing. And about Chase? Dear Goddess just save me now.

Chase furiously started to rant.

"Seriously! A few coincidences and you assume I'm banging her? We're not even in a relationship of any kind! How you even jumped to that kind of conclusion is beyond my sense of logic!" I stared at Chase, my face hot red.

"D-did...did you just say banging?" Chase looked at me with a bored stare.

~Chase's POV~

Needless to say, I was hysteric. That's when I heard the small voice belonging to Molly say,

"D-did...did you just say banging?" I looked at her with a bored expression but in truth...I was really trying to keep myself from laughing.

She looked way too cute! She bit her lip and her face was redder than the tomato soup that I made the other day.

'Did I just think she looked cute?'

I shook my head of all thoughts. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She kept staring at me so I decided to answer her.

"Banging. Doing it. Making love. Fucking. What do you want me to say? They're all basically the same thing." I told her. She hid her face and Angela looked at her sympathetically. That's when I remembered what Angela said earlier.

"Wait...you're afraid of guys?" This came as no surprise to Kathy but I guess Calvin and Luke took that like a punch to the stomach because they looked at her shocked.

Molly just shied away and Angela patted her gently. Kathy also came over to Molly and stroked her back.

"So you're scared of us Molly?" Calvin asked.

"Well...I...not as much as other guys...you're my friends but...you're still men..."

"She's been scared of boys since middle school." Angela sighed.

I sat back down and looked at Molly.

"Why?" Luke asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"It isn't really my place to tell." Molly uncovered her face that had lost a bit of it's embarrassed color.

"I'm sorry...I just..." Molly's face fell and her eyes were on the verge of over-flowing.

I watched her intensely. Luke and Calvin looked on helplessly as she tried to hold her tears back.

"They scare me is all..." Molly said weakly. I had the feeling that that wasn't the whole truth, but I let it go.

"So Angela had to fight the guys off with a stick, huh?" Luke said jokingly but that only caused Molly and Angela's faces to fall.

"She...umm...no...she didn't know about anything until I told her." Molly looked at her hand and Angela smiled sadly.

"How could she not know?" I asked suspiciously.

"Could we not talk about this, please." Angela said, flashing a smile at me for the first time since she arrived.

I nodded reluctantly.

"Oh my Goddess Molly! I'm so sorry that I had suggested that you had sex with him! What a horrible thought!" Kathy said dramatically with a smirk.

"Hey..." I growled and the two men at Molly's kitchen table just laughed.

Molly giggled and I sighed. I knew Kathy said that to make Molly feel better, and since it worked I had nothing to be mad about.

'As long as she's alright...'

I shook my head again. I had to stop having such weird thoughts.

I looked at the clock.

"It's almost time for work." I told Kathy.

"Hey! We can introduce you to everyone before we head to the bar!" Molly exclaimed happily to Angela.

"That would be a great idea!" Angela agreed.

"Are you sure you're in the condition to go somewhere?" Kathy asked.

"Just give me some cold medicine and I'll be okay." Molly flashed a smile.

Afterwards, Kathy and I headed to work and the others told us they would meet us at the bar and headed towards Flute Fields first.

~Angela's POV~

I followed along as Calvin, Luke, and Molly went to Flute Fields.

"Over here is the watermill. This is where we can go to mill things like wheat, corn, and buckwheat. They ship for a lot more." I smiled. Molly always tried to make as much money as possible.

"Over there is Julius's house. He works at the jewelers and has purple hair with different color streaks."

"Are you sure he isn't a girl..." I heard Luke whisper and Molly looked at him with a chastising glare. Luke turned to the side and whistled innocently.

We kept walking until we neared a huge area where there were two houses and fields of crops and flowers.

"Beautiful..." I breathed.

Molly giggled. "This is Marimba Farm, we can buy seeds here as well as other crops for cooking, Angela! They only have the seeds when they come into season so you'll never get the wrong seeds. It's quite convenient for when you're in a rush and want to buy in bulk. They also sale fertilizer so that the quality of the crops are higher which, of course, brings in more of a profit."

"What's that?" I asked pointing to a house near the bigger building.

"That's Chase's house." Calvin said.

"Oh. I wonder why he picked a place so close to a farm..."

"Chase is an expert chef. He came here to train underneath the legendary chef Yolanda!" Molly said energetically. I smiled at her renewed joy.

She dragged me along and explained the whole rest of Flute Fields to me including Fugue Forest which Calvin said that there were rumors of a witch living there. I had asked Molly secretly and she said she had actually met her, that's how she got the green bell in the windmill back. From Moon Hill there was Horn Ranch and I was able to meet Renee, Cain, and Hannah. While we came back up we ran into Craig (the owner of Marimba Farm) and Ruth his wife. They told us about their kids Taylor, and Anissa and how they left because the soil was poor. Molly told me that after she got 10 good quality pumpkins that she could ring the yellow bell. We then went to Garmon Mine District and Luke took us into the carpenters. Apparently he worked there and he was going to be the one working on the production of my new house.

"If you're the one building it then how come you aren't working on it already." I asked.

"We're going to get to it! There's a lot of um...before hand...planning...YEAH! Planning that we have to do! For the house!" Luke chuckled nervously. His father (Dale) had decided now to hand a full project over to his son? Bo (the apprentice) told me I'd be waiting a while.

"Well then my slave, you must get to work on it starting tomorrow. I shall not impose on dear Molly for too long. Do you understand."

"Yes, mistress." Luke bowed.

"Don't say mistress. I sound like the other woman when you say that." With that Luke and I laughed and Calvin and Molly rolled their eyes. Luke and I decidedly were now master and slave (A.K.A best friends).

We went by the General Store and when Calvin saw a girl with green hair and red rimmed glasses he started to uncharacteristically stare. I nudged him and he stared at me.

"That your woman?" I said in the manliest voice I could muster up. Calvin snorted to hold a laugh back.

"Her name's Phoebe and no. I'm working on it though." He said.

"Working it or her?" Luke and Molly laughed hard at that one and I gave Molly a high-five. Even she could appreciate the perverted jokes I belted out. Calvin flushed red just as Phoebe came up to him.

We said "hi" to Barbara which was her mom who told me about Simon, who was her husband, that worked at the Photo Shop I saw on my way to Molly's house. We left and Calvin seemed a little down that we had to leave Phoebe...so of course I teased him on it. We stopped by the jewelers and the woman who owned the store greeted us warmly. Her name was Mira and, sadly, she had been widowed a year ago. She said she felt a lot better now but she missed her loved one. Molly and I could relate to that.

When we met the accessory maker I could see why Luke said what he did earlier. A man who looked very much like a girl came and greeted us but he gave Luke a glare. Obviously Luke had pointed out to him he looked like a girl before. He was polishing some gems and I noticed the heart shaped earrings he had on which I just died for!

"Oh my gosh! I love your earrings!" I gushed. He smiled at me warmly.

"They're very high-fashioned aren't they? I have a few different pairs like these actually, just in case a match gets lost. You want a pair?" I squealed with glee as he handed me a box that had the earrings in them. Julius and I hit it off pretty well as well.

"You're too good with guys." Molly said dishearteningly. I smiled sympathetically at her and thought about Chase.

"Well...not all guys." I said and she gave me a confused expression. When it came to Molly I was the most protective above anything else. No one was going to hurt her on my watch! We headed to the carpenters and I saw an old man across the counter.

"This is who upgrades our tools." Molly explained. I bowed to the man whose name was Ramsey and he gave a grunt of approval. He seemed to be one of the stern types.

"MOOOOOOOLLY!" A small voice came. I turned my head to see a cute little girl run and jump towards Molly.

"CHLOE!" Molly caught her.

"How's my favorite little pirate?" Molly coddled her as she giggled. A big hulking man came behind Molly suddenly. He had red hair and was fairly tall. A little taller than Luke and Calvin.

"Hey guys." He greeted us which caused Molly to scream and throw Chloe up who landed in Luke's arms. Chloe stared at Luke.

"Yo." Luke stared at her.

"How you doin'?" Chloe responded. I laughed. Subtle humor just got me rolling.

"Did I scare you?" The big man asked.

"No, Owen. Not really!" Molly breathed sarcastically.

"You would've scared me! You're huge as hell!" Luke exclaimed.

"How would you know, Luke?" Owen laughed hard at this and Luke protested with a look of disgust.

After my introduction to Owen (that Calvin, Luke, and Molly later told me was who Kathy was going for) we headed towards the church ground by using the mining cart. I met Perry the pastor and let him know his name was an alliteration. We went down to town and stopped by town hall. That's where Mayor Hamilton greeted us warmly and introduced us to his more than cold son, Gill. He had fierce blue eyes and dressed business like. I shook hands with him and he told me briefly that he was eager to see how my farm would produce. I gave him a polite smile and bowed. I could be serious when I wanted to be.

We headed to the Photo Shop and I met Simon who was previously mentioned to me. I bought a camera for pictures and we left. Next was the Tailor Shop and that's where we met Shelly, who was the kind old clerk of the store. We were also reunited with the fiery pink-haired Luna, and the shy Candace. Candace was in a relationship with Julius apparently and I told her that he was a very nice catch, especially since he understood a woman's need for fashion. She thanked me shyly and Molly gave her a hug. Although she was really shy she must've hit it off with Molly. Maybe shy people attract other shy people? Luna was apparently the business brains and she and I hit it off pretty well. She admitted to me that she like Gill and I told her to go for it since he seemed really nice.

"It's funny how the timid sisters get along and how the out-going sisters get along." Calvin said smirking.

"It's more coincidental than anything else." Molly pouted as I patted her on the back.

We went up the town stairs after leaving the Tailor's to greet Jin and his grandmother Irene.

"Thank-you for taking care of my sister." I said bowing.

"It's not a problem. Someone has to do it." Jin smiled.

We greeted Irene and went next door to Ocarina Inn where Calvin was staying. It was alright when we said hello to Yolanda which I remembered being Chase's mentor. And it was fine when we met Jake and his wife Colleen. But when we met this girl in a maid outfit, things became tense. She greeted me but she then glared at Molly which made me angry, but Molly didn't seem to notice.

"Hello, Molly." The girl somewhat spat.

"Hey, Maya! How are things?" Molly smiled at her.

"Oh, everything is great! Just great!" Maya said sarcastically. I looked at Calvin and Luke who seemed to be annoyed with the girl already.

"That's nice. Well see ya." Molly waved good-bye.

"Stupid bitch." Molly muttered as we exited the building. I was shocked but Calvin and Luke laughed.

"Molly!" I scolded, though I did find it amusing.

"What! She stole my food the first time I ate at the bar. And when I saw Chase arguing with her because she couldn't cook worth a shit she got mad at me and started to fuss. So of course I fussed back and she ran out crying. I may be scared of guys but I'll be damned if I let a dumb ass girl like her intimidate me. She wears pig tails for Goddess's sake!" I laughed at my sisters out burst.

She then lead me to the Fishery where I met Ozzie who was the owner. Greeted Pascal. Met Paolo, Ozzie's son and a very laid back fellow named Toby.

"You like to fish?" Toby asked me.

"It's pretty awesome. I remember that I once caught a Masu Trout that was this huge!" I said holding my hands out a considerable amount.

"Nice." He smiled at me through closed eyes. How cool, just like a fox!

After we left the Fishery we headed to the bar. The bell jingled as we entered and sure enough, Kathy was there serving some random people, they were apparently from different villages. She turned to us and waved us to a table.

"How was the tour?" She asked.

"Eventful!" I replied. Kathy smiled and called her dad over.

"Howdy young lady, I'm Hayden, Kathy's father. I'm sure you'll feel right at home if you stop by as often as your sister does." He chuckled and I shook his hand.

I saw Molly peering into the back of the bar counter and I saw what seemed to be a kitchen, but from where I was standing I couldn't see what she was looking at. That is, until a certain chef stepped over to the cutting board. Molly watched him carefully until Kathy asked for our orders.

The bar was pretty much cleared out to where The only ones left were a few out of town villagers, Kathy, Luke, Calvin, Molly, Chase, Hayden, and I. Chase was still behind the counter cooking but Kathy was off the clock. She had one too many drinks obviously because she was lying across two chairs next beside Molly.

"Nooooooobody knooooooows *hic* the trouble I've seeeeeeeeeeeen! Noooooooooobody knoooooooows *hic* my sorrooooooow!" She sang, swinging an empty cocktail glass around. She looked at it sadly.

"Noooooooooobody knooooooooows the trouble I've seeeeeeeeeen...And I don't know the words to the *hic* rest of the sooooooong!" I broke down laughing and Molly did the same. Luke and Calvin put their heads in their hands and groaned. Kathy looked at me and Molly, then she looked down at her glass.

"You think this is funny?" She asked, waving the empty glass in our faces.

"THIS...is SAD! Do you know how long I've waited for this thing to fill itself up? Too damn long that's for sure!" She looked at it sadly and started to sing again.

Calvin and Luke turned to each other.

"You do it this time." Calvin told him.

"WHAT! WHY?" Luke said upset.

"I did it last time! And you don't have a girl your after! So you do it!" Calvin relayed and Luke grumbled.

"I do have a girl I like thank you very much Mr. Indiana Jones!" Luke said.

"Aha. Aha. Shut up!" And Calvin kicked Luke's chair almost sending him toppling over.

"Well, somebody better get her out of here!" Chase called from the kitchen.

Luke stared at Kathy.

"Is that food coloring in your hair, Luke?" She asked.

"No..."

"I'll make it disappear then."

"No...no making things disappear tonight." Luke lifted Kathy up off the chairs issuing a very ecstatic 'WHEEEE' from her.

"Alright. Time to go." Calvin said and we all got up.

"Aaaaaaaand I'm flying again. What. The. Hell! I'm frickin magic baby! WHOOOO!" Kathy exclaimed before we left.

"By the way, Molly." Chase called out to Molly who turned to him.

"Thanks for not making a mess this time." He said and turned around to put away the dishes. I was expecting Molly to yell at him but she did just the opposite.

"You're welcome." She said smiling and let the bar doors close behind her.

"What was that about?"

"I always screw-up and make a mess here but tonight I didn't. I guess he was thankful for that. I know I'm thankful that he didn't make me sip from a sippy-cup this time."

We waved bye to Luke and Calvin and were on our way to our home. When we finally arrived I was tired and flopped down on Molly's bed.

"You have a bed in your room you know!" Molly scolded.

"I wanna sleep with you tonight! We haven't seen each other in years and years! Please!" I begged her. She smiled and shook her head laughing.

"Alright. You wanna scrub each others backs in the tub like we used to too?" She teased and I threw a pillow at her.

"No! We are much too developed now!" I giggled and she took a shower first.

When she got out, I got in and I let the hot water soothe me. The boat trip had been long and I couldn't remember the last time I took a shower in water that wasn't lukewarm. I was already starting to love it here. I climbed out and Molly was already dressed so I got dressed and we laid down on the comfy bed.

"Where's Finn?" I asked her.

"He probably went to see the Harvest Goddess again." Molly's muffled voice came.

"Oh..."

"Hey, Angel."

"Yeah, Dolly?"

"Don't go too far for your midnight walk. Okay?" Molly said with a yawn.

I smiled, she knew me too well. It wasn't long before she went to sleep and I got up and put some clothes on to go for my midnight walk. I usually did this to think, or to get something off my mind. It was relaxing.

My mind was wandering again. when that happened, my feet would just start to pull me any which way. Surprisingly, my feet would respond to the feeling in my heart. Curiosity, anxiety, hatred, sadness, anger, I have yet to be pulled along by love. I've experienced liking someone a lot, but love seemed to avoid me. I guess Molly and I were somewhat the same there. What sad twins we were.

I glanced up and found myself in Harmonica Town and mentally slapped my forehead. If Molly found out I came this far she was going to kill me! But, a scent wafted in front of me and my thoughts were stopped once more. I turned to my left to see where my feet had guided me and I was curiously in front of a big white house that Molly hadn't told me about. I just assumed it was unoccupied. But low and behold, a cinnamon tanned man was leaning against his house, looking up at the star filled sky. His hair glowed in the moonlight as it kissed his frame. It was white, and short take away the long braid that fell over his shoulder. I couldn't see his eyes. He wore a long purple cloak that had golden lining, a black turtle neck, white pants, and jewelry that seemed to dangle off of him in a beautiful manner.

I felt myself being mesmerized by the appearance of this phantom-like man who seemed to fit into the night scene before me. My feet compelled me to walk closer to the man and when we were about two feet apart from one another, he slowly turned to me. My breath caught in my throat. His eyes were the definition of breath-taking. Such unique hues, one a very vivid green, almost like a lime. And the other a soft honey cream yellow. He looked at me with such knowing, as if he was expecting me. And then he said in a deep, soft, smoother than caramel voice.

"What stirs your thoughts?" He asks. I was going to greet him...I was going to say "hi" and give him my name...I was going to ask him for his...I was but...instead.

"Your eyes are the most beautifully unique things I've ever seen..." I sighed in a trance. My eyes widened and his did too.

"Oh...I'm sorry! That wasn't suppose to come out!" I explained hurriedly. His eyes caught mine.

"That wasn't...what I was expecting..." He mumbled.

"I...I wasn't expecting it either..." I said still staring at him. We stood there for a moment.

"I'm Angela." I suddenly said which caused him to look at me.

"The new farmer."

"Wizard..."

"Huh?"

"They call me...Wizard." The name certainly fit his appearance. Not just the apparel but also his whole entire self as a whole. That's when I noticed the tattoo that adorned the bottom of his right eye, the honey colored one.

"That's...different."

"Yes...it is." Another silence. I looked down at my feet and I noticed that Wizard was pretty tall. He seemed to bet the same height as Chase. Maybe a tad bit shorter, by a centimeter maybe.

"It's dangerous..." He said softly.

"What?"

"It's dangerous for you to be out here alone..." He turned to me with half-lidded eyes.

"I...uh...this is a peaceful island. I'm sure nothi-"

"You know what I mean...the rogue sprite...you and your sister call it this...right?" My eyes widened. How did he know? Could he be?

"I'm not the bringer...I am on your side...more or less." Wizard stated. I looked at him and he opened the door to his house where the scent that awoke me from my trance now spilled out from.

"Coffee..." I muttered dreamily. He looked at me contemplatively.

"Would you...care for a cup?" He asked. I nodded, absent-minded and he held his door open for me.

He lead me to a table with what seemed to be a crystal ball in the middle, I sat on one side as he came to me with a cup of the hot drink and took a seat on the other side of the table with his own mug in hand. We sat there silently for what seemed like a year. I looked around and noticed a huge telescope that stood in the midst of bookcases and shelves on his second floor.

'He must love stargazing' I thought, remembering his previous interest in the night sky before I approached him.

I heard the clink of his mug and turned to meet his gaze that was soft but serious.

"Now...have you noticed anything...strange, since you've come?" He questioned. I looked intensely at him and thought very hard on my answer.

"Well...several people thought that my sister, Molly, was pregnant." I replied seriously and sipped at my drink.

This produced a surprised look from Wizard and he stared at me in confusion.

"She's not really pregnant though!" I said quickly. He continued to stare at me.

"Again...not what I expected..." Wizard finally stated and sipped his drink as well.

Hope you liked it! Sorry it took so long to type up. First I had to do chores, then there was the mall and I mean...c'mon!...Sorry that was a lame excuse. I'm so ashamed of myself. T~T. I'll try my hardest to release the chapters out sooner! Well...R&R please. I love you all!
