Mhmm. This is labelled as humour, but only slightly, probably. Depends on the sense of humour which you have yourself. xD Anyhow. I have no idea how long this will be, and have no idea what is going to happen. I've never wrote a multi-chap fic where the chapters actually follow on from each other before, so this could get pretty bad. :c But! Regardless of that piece of information, please try and enjoy!
As the sun began to set over a now peaceful and thriving Harmonica Town, an exhausted Molly wiped her brow with the (notably exceedingly dirty) sleeve of her shirt as she finished up the days chores around the ranch. Standing up, she gazed up at the sky which was beginning to become speckled with tiny spots of silver and gold, and smiled as she instantly knew what time it was. For farmers, it was important to be able to tell the time through the environment alone, and Molly was no exception.
The sky at this very time signalled to her that it was almost 8pm, the perfect time to go make her twice a week visit to the Brass bar, just to relax and take the strain off her daily life. Not just to go see the handsome chef who worked there. Nope, not for that at all.
He also wasn't the reason why Molly felt the need to go inside and to change her dirty clothes and wash before she went out.
"What a jerk, always making me change my clothes and wash and whatnot, when I could easily get away without doing any of those things." Came Molly's usual response as she trudged her way over to the Brass Bar, a short walk, but also a cold one since the night air was become chilly quickly during the mid fall evenings.
Shivering, she arrived at the entrance to the bar, and quickly pulled the door open in order to seek warmth.
"..."
Boy did she pick a great night to 'relax'.
Upon entering the bar and quickly closing the door behind her, Molly was greeted with the pleasant sight of a drunk best friend standing on the table-tops, singing her own rendition of 'Wuthering Heights'.
"Kathy, what the hell!" Shouted a half shocked and taken aback Molly - Shocked because the waitress should off been working, not shocked because she was drunk.
"O-ohhhhh Mollyyyy~!" Slurred the clumsy girl as she learnt forward, with the idea that Molly would be able to hear her better. "I got t-the night off...isn't dat greaaaaate?"
"Yeah brilliant, especially when you're in this state." Thought the more sensible farmer girl as she helped her friend down of the table. "You better get down before you hurt yourself."
"Awww Mol!" Wrapping her arm around her best friend, Kathy proceeded to give Molly a kiss on the cheek. "Your such a great friend ya know!"
"You too, Kath, you too." She simply replied with a sigh.
"You better not be doing that now Kathy! Her boyfriend will get angry with you!" Came a familiar voice from a couple of tables across.
"Oh Goddess, your drunk too, Luke? " Molly said disbelievingly, practically throwing Kathy down in a chair in order to try and ignore the 'boyfriend' comment.
"Nah." Holding up his glass of orange juice as proof he continued; "Just saying the truth!"
"Ohhh, he's right Molly, sorry...I shouldn't have done that, now Chase will be getting angry at me!"
"WHAT? Kathy, you're my best friend, and even in a drunk state you'd still remember the fact that I don't actually have a boyfriend."
"Yeah, but all your friends know that you want Chase to be your boyfriend!" Luke, who happened to be Molly's other best friend, decided to input from across the room.
"LUKE" the girl in question squealed uncontrollably, earning the attention of many of the other people who were also in the bar, including a certain strawberry blonde haired chef, who poked his head out from the kitchen to see what all of the commotion was about.
"Luke, if your harassing the girls again I swear..." the chef began, before focusing his attention on Molly, who just blushed out of embarrassment and anger.
"Oh Molly, you could have said that you'd came in! I wouldn't have guessed it was you from that squeal of yours, considering you're normally so manly. You know, being a farmer and all."
"E...Excuse me?"
"CHASE GET BACK INTO THE KICTHEN AND STOP TORMENTING THE CUSTOMERS AGAIN."
"Hehe, sorry, better be going." The man in question replied with a wink, before heading back to his work before Hayden tried to get angry with him.
For a few minutes Molly just stood staring at the place in which Chase had previously stood, before being brought back into reality through Luke snapping his fingers in front of her face.
With a sigh, she pulled up a chair opposite Luke, and next to Kathy. The latter of which proceeded to hug Molly to comfort her. Even in a drunken state Kathy was still aware of when her best friend was upset or angry, and was always there to try and fix that.
"Ahhh, he's such an ass!" Luke stated as he leaned back in his chair, his male attempt at trying to comfort Molly. Because, let's face it, male best friends have never been the best with relationship problems.
"You can say that again." Molly mumbled, placing her order with one of the temporary waitress's during Kathy's night off.
"He's an ass."
"Thanks, Luke, thanks."
"Ehh...seriously though. You like him, he likes you, why are always so stupid around each other?"
"That's exactly it, Luke! Chase doesn't like me, which is why he always teases me and...and..." Molly trailed off, taking in what the man had actually just said. "Wait, how did you come to the conclusion that he likes me too?"
"Because us guys are the same as you girls are when it comes to noticing things." Noticing the confused look on Molly's face, he sighed then tried to explain further. "So for example, we all know that Chase can be a bit of an ass at the best of times, but we also know he only teases people, when he's shy or doesn't know what to say. "
"Are you being serious?"
"Why would I lie to you Molly! Cor, you never believe me and we're best friends." Shaking his head, Luke adverted his attention to a dancing Selena to give Molly some time to let those words sink in.
For a few minutes the table remained silent, until Kathy decided to break the silence at the worst time possible. And with the worst words possible as well.
"Yeah...but even if that is true Luke, there is still that Maya girl to deal with. We all know she's had a thing for Chase since we don't even know when."
Standing up and grabbing his axe instinctively, Luke raised his arms and cried out; "Ahhh crap I forgot about that stupid-"
"For the love of the Goddess Luke, will you put that thing away!"
Stopping mid rant and turning around, Luke came face to face with a rather pissed off looking Chase, who apparently, had only just avoided the axe which Luke had swung above his head in his rage.
"Sorry bro." He merely said sitting down again, as Chase served him and Molly their ordered drinks.
"Thank you." Molly nervously said as she picked up her drink, worried that Chase had over-heard what the trio were previously talking about. Or worse – Kathy decided to open her big mouth once again.
Luckily for her, Kathy was too involved with her new drink to say anything, and the only words which Chase muttered as he walked back to the kitchen were something along the lines off 'I don't even know why you bring that axe everywhere you go', which had to be directed at Luke.
"...What's his problem?"
Slamming her face to the table, Molly just let out a irritated groan at Kathy's oblivious comment.
"This is going to be a long night..." she groaned unhappily, whilst taking her drink out of Kathy's hands for the fourth time that minute.
Okay, this was going to be longer, but I think it's better to end the chapter here, and then just continue in the next one. xD
So...what did you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Trying too hard? My sense of humour is pretty dry at the best of times, so it probably won't appeal to the majority of you. :c
Reviews will be loved! It lets me know if what you want to read. ;
