Chapter 3: A day of joy and happiness

It was afternoon. After the meeting with Hikari, Molly was now in the attic, drawing... The cat from her nightmares. Why? If she is afraid of that cat, why does Molly continue to draw it? No idea...

Drawing was something like a therapy for Molly. If there is something that scares her, she'll make many drawings of it. She even made some drawings of the shadow demon that used to haunt Libby and Scratch.

Speaking of Scratch, Molly was planning to have a super fun night with him. Watching movies, playing games, eating food. Just one special night for best friends. Molly already made a whole plan how they will spend the entire night on a little notebook. When she took it and checked if she wrote everything right, Scratch appeared in the attic, looking for something.

'''Moll, have you seen my red bow?'' Scratch asked, looking inside his doolhouse.

''I think it's somewhere under my bed, I don't remember. Why?''

''Me, Geoff and Clara will hang out tonight, I need it!'' Scratch said, as he flew under Molly bed and found it.

''WHAT? But... What about us? You promised me tonight you'll spend time with me!''

''Ohhhh... Tonight was supposed to be our BFF's special night?''

''Yes! I already made a whole plan what we'll do!'' Molly said, as she showed the notebook to Scratch.

''Yikes... I completely forgot. Listen, we'll do it tomorrow, I really have to see Geoff and Clara'' Scratch said, as he putted his bow and opened a portal.

''Scratch! Yesterday I spended so much time to make this plan!''

''I know, I know, I'm sure we can hang out someday, but not right now''

''But... You are aways in the Ghost World! I barely see you a day after you started working for Lecter! This was supposed to be our night, it's not fair for you-

''Listen, Moll, I promise to make it up somehow, but now I really have to go, bye!'' Scratch said, as he left.

Molly was just standing, speechless. She and Scratch both wanted this night to be special, but he just left. The last few days, even after he was done with his work he was still staying for few more hours in the Ghost World. Not that Molly was againts that, she loved how Scratch was spending time with his ghost friends, but she didn't like the fact they barely see each other.

Well, Molly now is gonna spend the night alone. Her parents were going out to eat tonight, Darryl left without even telling Molly where he is going... Probably again doing some shady stuff no one should know about. A whole night for Molly... Only for herself.

Maybe she can see Libby? No... Not a single chance she is meeting that traitor. Maybe she can see Ollie? No... Ollie would want to ask about the foreplays Molly and Libby used to make, not a chance she is listening to his lecturing. What about Hikari? Normally yes... But Molly already spended the entire day with her, she didn't want to bother her.

Molly really was gonna spend this night alone. From very fun BFF's night, now it was just one miserable and lonely one. Normally Molly will be sad about that... But now she just smiled.

''Ha! Like I need any of you!''

Molly went outside, looked at the electrical pylon, raised her hand and started to drain energy from it.

''Yes... YES!''

Molly's veins were glowing and her wrists started to hurt a little, but she didn't payed any attention to the pain. A bright aura appeared around Molly and she became a full ghost.

''HECK YEAH!''

So, what should Molly do now? She was a ghost, she can do whatever she wants, she can travel to any country she wants... That's a plan! She should visit another country. But which one? Chile? Brazil? Uruguay? Or maybe some place in Europe? Germany? Spain? France? France sounds like a good option. The sun will go down here soon, which means it will be perfect day there.

Molly closed her eyes and imagined a picture of Paris in her head... Deeply imagined it... And after few seconds, she opened her eyes and knew the right direction. She flew to the clouds and started to fly on a trip to Europe...

...

Libby was back home with the DVD. She was looking at it with very confused eyes, because of how strange it looked. Old, black DVD with only ''HatMan_exe'' written on it. The TV and the DVD player were right in front of her... So, she got closer and was ready to watch it.

Libby got closer to the player, but before she could put the DVD inside, her mom showed up.

''Hey, turtledove...''

''Hi, mom! Are you... Okay?'' Libby asked, the moment she noticed how tired her mom looked.

''Yes... Nothing... To... Worry... About...''

Leah looked like she is on the verge to faint. No idea what Jessica made her to do today, but Libby didn't even want to imagine. She left the DVD on the table and grabbed her mom's hand.

''Come on, you need to go to sleep''

''But... There... Are... Many dishe-

''Don't worry, I'll take care of them! You just need to go rest'' Libby said, as she dragged her mom to the bedroom.

Leah slowly layed on the bed and closed her eyes. That's all she needed... Few hours of sleep. Libby kissed her mom and left her to rest. Looks like Libby won't be able to watch that DVD now, because of all the dishes she had to clean...

...

It was sunny and hot day in Paris. The streets were full with tourists. Molly spended few very fun hours in the city of love. Right now, she was on top of a huge house, eating a croissant and staring at the Eiffel tower. It was the best way to spend her life. Being a ghost, flying around different continents and countries. Really, a dream life everyone wishes to have.

''Oh sweet baby corn, how could I break my phone? If I had it, I was gonna take DOZENS of pictures!''

When she actually thought about it, she didn't need it. After all, she was a ghost, she can come back here whenever she wants. She could do anything here! Steal food, fly around, scare and prank people. Molly thought what to do, and decided to visit the Palais Garnier. After all, she was invisible, she can watch opera for free.

Or maybe... She can do something more exciting. She looked at the Eiffel tower again. Pretty beautiful, but very boring. Molly raised her hands... And shoot a lightning at it, causing to light up the tower. All the people on the ground looked at the tower, confused.

''Qu'est-ce que c'est que ce bordel? Vous avez vu ça?'' A woman asked, confused.

Molly wasn't done. She flew as high as possible... Her eyes turned red... And started to shoot lightnings in the sky, causing a thunderstorm.

''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!''

All the people looked very confused how in 3 seconds from sunny, it became stormy. Some also noticed something bright in the sky, sounding like it was laughing...

''Regardez ça! Il faut que je filme çe!'' A man shouted, as he grabbed his phone and started to film what was happening.

Molly was finding so funny how confused and scared the poor french people were. When she realized some people could see her, she turned invisible again and flew in a little french patisserie and secretly grabbed few macarons, then flew outside again.

Another hour have passed in which Molly visited every possible place in Paris. It was now 11:00 AM, which means it's 7:00 AM in USA, so she had to go back home. She started to fly... When she saw in a little alley how some hooligans were beating up a little girl...

''DONNEZ-NOUS VOTRE ARGENT! NOUS SAVONS QUE VOUS AVEZ DE L'ARGENT!'' One of the hooligans was yelling.

Unbelieveble... In a beautiful city like Paris, even here there are idiots. Should Molly just leave those bastards to kill the poor girl? NO! Molly flew in the alley, behind them. They continued to yell at the girl... But then heared a large growl behind them.

''Bonjour, jerks...''

They turned around... And Molly turned into a large terrifying ghost and scared them to death.

''AAAAHHHHH! FYEZ!'' All of them screamed and ran like a little crybabies.

When they were gone, Molly was back in her normal and friendly form, and turned invisible. The girl was just laying on the ground, scared and confused from what just happened. She then saw a little macaron left for her with a little note...

Here's something sweet to enhappify your day ;)

...

It was 7:30 AM. Molly flew back to her attic and turned into a human again. Scratch still wasn't back, which was good. It was a very fun day for Molly. To think about it, even more fun than that ''Special BBF's night'' they were gonna do. Molly was actually glad Scratch left.

She sat on the chair next to her desk and started to draw again. This time all the things she saw in France. She was drawing... But suddenly a burning feeling hit her in the chest.

''Ouch!''

Molly stood up and grabbed her chest. It was awful... Not just hot, it felt like someone stabbed her with a hot blade. It was so bad, Molly almost lost her balance.

She slowly opened the attic door, went downstairs to the kitchen, grabbed a cup, fill it up with a very cold water and drank it in one go... Thank God, the pain stopped, but Molly still wasn't feeling okay.

Molly walked to the couch and layed on it, thinking what just happened. She also noticed her wrists... Her veins looked like the veins of someone who tried to commit a suicide, but failed. They looked burned and bloody red. If she managed to hide them before, now her veins were too noticeable.

''Oh no...''

That was bad... Molly realized what will happen if her parents see her like this. She now needed to think of something to hide her wrists...
