Awwww
*The next morning, the two cowboys stop by the girls' house, saying goodbye, because they have to head to the next town*
Kim: *Holding onto Melody tight* Oh Melody, when will you be coming back?
Melody: *Saddling up his horse* Well Miss Kim, I don't rightly know...
Kim: Will you be back in time for Christmas?
Melody: Well...I'm hopin' to be.
*She looks up to him and the two gaze deeply into each others' eyes*
Sel: *Leaps on Jerry* Oh honey, will you be home in time for Christmas, too?!
Jerry: Don't worry, Melody and I will be back before Christmas...and when we git back...
*He pulls her close and whispers in her ear*
Jerry: You and me...we's gonna git married.
Sel: *Leaps for joy and kisses him sweetly* I can't wait!
Melody: *Buckling down his belongings on the horse* Can't wait for what, Miss Sel?
Sel: *Looks to Jerry* Oh...*chuckles* nothing.
*Kim holds onto Melody's arm, tight*
Melody: *Stops what he's doing and looks to Kim* Don't worry, Miss Kim, I'll be all right...I have a special girl waitin' for me...I can't let her down.
*He winks at her and smiles*
Kim: *Desperate* Please don't leave, Melody, please!
Melody: I'm sorry, Miss Kim, I have to...
Kim: Stay here with me, please, I can't bear to lose you...
Melody: *Goes to hug her, but she stands back* I'm sorry.
*He leaps up on his horse and tips his hat*
*His heart breaks as he sees the tears in her eyes, knowing he's the one responsible for those tears. He starts to ride off*
*Jerry leaps up on his horse and starts to ride away, behind Melody*
Jerry: *Tips his hat* Goodbye, Sel!
Sel: Bye, sweetie!!
*The boys ride off down the dusty trail*
Sel: *Looks to Kim* Well, I gu--
*Kim looks to Sel, then to Melody who's riding further down the trail*
*She chases after him*
Kim: Melody!!
*He continues to ride, unable to hear her*
Kim: Melody, stop! Please!
*She collapses, with tears flowing down her cheeks*
Kim: MELODY!!! PLEASE!!!
*Further down the road, he hears someone calling his named, muffled-like*
*He spins the horse around and sees Kim laying on the ground crying*
*She picks up her head and notices he saw her*
*She gets back up and runs to him*
*He kicks on his horse, and as he gets closer to her he jumps off the horse, running towards her*
Kim: *Running* Oh Melody, I'm sorry!
*The two finally reach each other and he holds her in a tight embrace*
Kim: *Sobbing* I'm sorry, oh I'm so sorry!
Melody: *Kissing her widly* No, don't be sorry, I love you Kim, I loved you from the moment I pulled into this town. I fixed my heart on yours and never looked back.
*Kissing her passionately*
Melody: I'll come back to you, I promise, please don't worry.
Kim: *Wiping her tears away* How can I not worry when my heart's in a strange town, amongst dangerous men? Please take care of my heart...*starts to sob again* Oh Melody, please be careful...
Melody: *Hugging her tight* I will, darling...I will.
*He picks her up and gives her another kiss*
*He leaps up on the horse and starts to ride away*
*She runs after him again*
*He lowers himself on the horse a bit and gives her one final kiss*
Kim: Goodbye, my darling...
Melody: It isn't goodbye...I'll see you in a couple months.
*He rides off and she walks back to the house*

*Kim continues to sniff her perfume and sighs*
Sel: Careful with that perfume, Kim, you'll get a terrible headache!
Kim: Oh...I suppose you're right. *Chuckles* I'm sorry, I just can't help it.
Sel: *Laughs* Don't worry, we'll fix the place up just right when they get back...everything will be fine!
Kim: I hope you're right, Sel. I just get so worried! With cowboys like that, they get into so much trouble...
Sel: Well, Jerry and Melody aren't like regular cowboys...
Kim: *Laughs* Ain't that the truth.
Sel: Let's just focus on the farm, Kim, you know it's gonna be tough for the next couple months, so we've gotta get to it!
Kim: *Sigh* You're right, Sel...we'll start on it in the morning.
*She lays down in bed and shuts off the lights*
Kim: 'Night...
Sel: 'Night!

Kim: You're right about that...
*She takes a deep sigh and yawns, getting out of bed and walking to the dresser*
Kim: Ah well, let's not fight it this time, you know, the sooner we get the work done, the sooner it'll be 'till our fellas come back!
Sel: *Leaps out of bed, opening the curtains* Oh! I can't wait!
*Sel takes a deep sigh and breaths in the morning air*
Kim: Sel, what do you think we'll all do when the boys get back?
Sel: Oh, well...let me think......
*She sweeps out a gown from her drawer and draips it over herself, dancing around*
Sel: We'll probably do somemore dancing! And...oh, of course after the wedding there'll be plenty of time for that!
*Kim laughs weakly*
Sel: *Stops dancing and looks over to Kim* What's the matter?
Kim: Oh, just thinking of Melody again...
Sel: *Rolls her eyes* When are you not thinking of Melody?
Kim: I can't help it, Sel, I'm growing fondly towards him...
Sel: *Teasingly* You mean you's growing in love with him...
Kim: *Gasps* Oh Sel, I didn't say that!
Sel: Nah, but I did! It's written all over your eyes, girly...
*She places the dress back into the drawer nicely*
Kim: I can't help it, Sel, he's got me wrapped around his finger...
Sel: *Chuckles* And you've got him wrapped around yours.
Kim: *Leaps on the bed, looking to Sel, excited* You think so?
Sel: I know so! Have you seen the way he looks at you? That man's plum crazy over you! He'd ride off a cliff with his horse if you asked him to.
Kim: Oh Sel, I don't know how I'll get through these months without him.
Sel: Don't worry, Kim, you've lived your years just fine before you met him...a couple months won't do you anymore harm.
Kim: *Sigh* I know...but I haven't really known love like this before...Sel...it's so amazing! He makes me feel like I'm the only gal in the world, and that-- *sits up and looks out the window at the mountains* --...that it's like he's laid eyes on no other woman on earth before....you know? Like I'm the only one!
Sel: Well, when he kisses you, do you feel that special tingle in your toes? Or when he runs his rough hands down your cheek, do you get goose pimples?
Kim: *Embarassed, looking down to the ground* He's never kissed me...and he's never touched me.
Sel: What?!
Kim: Well, he's given me a hug! But--
Sel: He's never kissed you?!
Kim: No....*gasps* Sel, does that mean he doesn't find me attractive or like me the same way I like him?
Sel: Well, I'm confused now...*laughs* I've never met a cowboy who hasn't kissed a gal he's liked before...
Kim: So he doesn't like me, then...
Sel: Ahhh, I don't know, with the way he looks at ya', he's plum crazy for ya'...I'm just not sure why he hasn't kissed ya' yet!
Uncle Bill: *Bangs on the window, muffled* Hurry up!!
Sel: Oh! Let's hurry!
*After the girls get dressed the race outside for the chores*
Kim: *Plucking chicken feathers* Well, what about you and Jerry?
Sel: What about him?
Kim: You guys are plannin' on gettin' married when he comes back, right?
Sel: Yep!
Kim: Well...how did you know he was the right fella?
Sel: *Sweeping the porch* Whaddya' mean?
Kim: *Stops plucking and looks to Sel* When he kissed you, did your toes tingle?
Sel: Shore did! And the hairs on my head all stood up and heat came out of my ears!
Kim: *Laughs* Really?
Sel: Well, Jerry's a special boy...he knows how to make a lady feel special...and boy does he know how to make me feel special.
*The two laugh and continue cleaning as a teenage boy comes running up*
Kim: *With her hands on her hips* Oh boy, what do you want, Tommy?
Tommy: Awww, nuthin', I was just wantin' to help you gals out.
*He smiles flirtaciously, but doesn't pull any affect, because he's just a kid and his practice is a little rough*
Kim: Git outta' here, you bum! We're doin' just fine on our own.
Sel: Yeah, you pest, GIT!
Tommy: Don't haffta' be so mean about it! I's only tryin' to help!
Kim: Well...ya' ain't! Now skat! Before I stick this shoe in your neck!
Tommy: You wanna try and take me on? I'll fight you any day of the week...and I'll win, too!
Kim: *Takes a broom into her hands and starts to aim high* Tommy Wilkins, you git outta' here before I pummel you into the ground!
Tommy: You ain't got the guts...you're only a gir--
*Kim leaps off the porch and starts chasing Tommy*
Tommy: *Screams and runs* You're crazy! Both of ya's!

Kim: What if he isn't a gentleman, Sel? What if he really does have girls in other towns? Maybe he doesn't find me attractive enough, and...and...
Sel: Stop it. You're making me sick. He loves you, all right? And everyone in town knows it but you! Now, you better shape up, or I'll make sure he NEVER sees you again.
Kim: What are you saying, Sel? You're gonna kill him?!
Sel: Nah, I'll just tell him you don't wanna see him anymore, THAT'LL fix the problem.
Kim: Oh Sel...you wouldn't!
Sel: *Smirks* Don't be so sure...
Kim: All right, he loves me, there, does that make you happy? *Sigh* I'm just confused as to why he hasn't kissed me yet.
Sel: *Sighs* He's a gentleman, Kim...something you don't find around these parts very often.
Kim: *Stares off into a daze* You think he'll ever ask me to marry him?
Sel: *Laughs* Are you kidding? That man wanted to marry you the minute he laid eyes on you.
Kim: *Smiles proudly* Well! I reckon he have a lot to do before our boys git home...
*She stops immeditaly and looks to Sel*
Kim: Oh Sel!
Sel: What?
Kim: When Jerry gets back...that means you'll be movin' outta here. I'll be living here all alone!
Sel: Nah, Melody will ask you...I'm sure you'll be married by Christmas time!
Kim: I don't think so, Sel...he ain't the kind of fella to outright ask a gal to marry him...he's the shy type.
Sel: Well, if he never asks to marry ya', then I guess you're stuck with Uncle Bill the rest of your life.
*Kim gasps in horror and nearly faints*
Sel: Oh stop it, if nothing else, you can move in with Jerry and me.
Kim: Awww, you'd do that?
Sel: I wouldn't, but Uncle Bill will kick ya' outta the house, and you shore can't spend the rest of your old maiden years out in the dusty trails.
Kim: *Sarcastic* Thanks, Sel...I'm glad you cleared that up for me.
Sel: Awww, you're welcome!

Sel: *Laughs* Shore are. *The next morning the girls get to the shop and start their long days work* Uncle Bill: Kim, can you come here? Kim: Sure, Uncle Bill. *She puts down the broom and walks over to him* (Funny how we're always sweeping, this place must be so dusty!) Kim: Yes, sir? Uncle Bill: You have a letter. Kim: Hmmm, who from? Uncle Bill: Don't rightly know, open it fer yourself and find out. *Kim, exicted, goes to the shelves and finds her box* *She pulls out a letter addressed from Melody* *She gasps and frantically opens the letter*
Hello Angel Cakes:
Right now I'm looking up at a clear, star-filled night and I can't help but fill each passing moment thinking of you.
I've missed seeing those beautiful eyes and hearing your sweet voice.
When I left you that afternoon I didn't think I'd survive the first day apart from you. The only thing that's kept me going so long is knowing that you're there, waiting for me; Hopefully thinking of me as I am of you.
My darling, I'm sorry for leaving you in the first place. It wasn't my choice, please believe me.
I keep replaying those moments I first laid eyes on you, the second you fixed your eyes on mine I was lost, completely helpless in your captivation...
Jerry talks about Sel every day, over here, and I always seem to find myself in a heavy daze and think of you and our life together...
I'm jumping ahead of myself, but my sweet angel, I promise I'm coming back. Nothing could stand in my way...
Well, it's getting late, and George is getting restless...I hope to hear back from you soon, and I hope this letter didn't find you in ill-mannor. The silence was piercing, and I just had to write my heart on paper...
Yours,
Melody Jones
P.S. George says hi *Kim holds the letter tight to her heart and takes a deep sigh* *Sel walks over and looks to Kim* Sel: What's wrong? Kim: *Dazed* Oh......nothing. Sel: You look like you're about to cry. Kim: No, just overwhelmingly happy. Sel: Well, what happend? Kim: Melody sent me a letter. Sel: Really?! Kim: Mmm-hmm... Sel: What did he say? Kim: Oh, just that he misses us. Sel: That's it? --Oh! If Melody sent a letter, then maybe Jerry did too! *Sel runs over the mail shelf and finds a letter in her box* Sel: Oooooh!! He sent one! *She rips it open and...* (I'm leaving it open for ya'...what does the letter say? *

Sel: Yeah, sure would answer your question to see if he's the cheatin' type or not.
Kim: *Laughs the pauses* ...Yeah...sure would answer it, wouldn't it?
Sel: Don't get any funny ideas, missy.
Kim: *Shrugs* Oh well, if things don't work out with Melody, at least I'll have his horse George.
*She starts laughing hysterically and Sel looks to her as if she's insane*
Kim: I'm only kidd, Sel...boy, you sure are serious today.
Sel: No, I'm not serious, just worried.
Kim: Why's that?
Sel: 'Cause he said somethin' about Melody bein' roadkill...do you know what that means?
Kim: Not a clue, Sel......I gave up tryin' to understand that boy a long time ago.
Sel: *Laughs* Well, you gonna write Melody back?
Kim: Oh, that's right. I plum forgot about that.
Sel: Well...are you?
Kim: Do you think he'll like one?
Sel: Gee, I'm assumin' he'll want one back if he sent one.
Kim: Yeah, you're right...you sendin' Jerry one?
Sel: Shore am! To-night at supper I's gonna write him a nice, long letter and spray it with that special perfume he bought me.
Kim: Awww, good idea!
Sel: Yeah! You should do the same. I hear the fellas really like the smell...makes 'em go crazy!
