Synopsis[]
Scratch uses a curse to take away Molly's fear.[1]
Plot[]
Molly is traveling with Sharon and Scratch, wondering where they are going for the day. Scratch lets slip that they are going to the dentist and Molly suddenly begins to panic. Molly has a fear of the dentist, not from getting her teeth checked, but because of a creepy looking tooth statue named Toothy that sits in front of the office. While struggling, Molly wishes that Scratch can just curse away her fear and he realizes he can do just that. For the next 24 hours, Molly will have absolutely no fear of anything whatsoever. The curse works and Molly confidently enters the dentist office without giving Toothy much thought.
Seeing as how she has a whole day, Molly decides to celebrate F.O.N.A.A. (Fear of Nothing at All) with her first act, playing with Heidi Hairylegs. She then goes up to her shop class teacher Mr. Bates and tells him that she will not be taking his class for the day. He is enraged, but respects her decision by sending her to detention. However, Molly's fearlessness has her walking out the door instead and she proceeds to do a variety of fearless acts that begin to get more and more dangerous. Scratch soon starts to get annoyed and concerned for Molly's well being as she begins to push the limits of going without fear despite her time nearly being up.
Molly's final act before her fear returns is to launch herself across Brighton with a tail sign telling people to enhappify their lives. Scratch tries to talk Molly down and tells her that he does not want to lose her, or rather he does not want them to be known as "the ghost and the ghost of Molly McGee". Scratch runs the time up, but Molly reveals that his watch is 15 seconds fast and launches herself just as her fear returns. Scratch saves her, but they fall and land on a pile of leaves. Molly chips her tooth, forcing her to go to the dentist again to get it fixed and face Toothy again. Sharon is impressed with Scratch's curse and chaotically asks Scratch to curse her into being a rock star.
