(Author's note)

Hello! And welcome to my first ever change-of pace story. As this is not based on Pokemon nor Animal Crossing, nor any video game. It's based on Looney tunes! That may seem strange to you, as if you know me from other websites or my youtube account, you probably have noticed I have never mentioned that cartoon at all. Well, I decided to make a fan-fiction about my favorite little couple in Looney tunes AND Cartoon history: Penelope Pussycat and Pepe le Pew. I actually have shown interest in doing one of these stories before, but decided against it many times because I thought there wasn't a huge fanbase.

Until MizzAmy15 on DeviantArt came along. I happened to read the huge Penelope fan's stories on there, (Sadly at the moment she is going on a little strike due to the SOPA fear that came up... Now that it's over hopefully she will come back, and fast!) and loved them. So I decided to make my own take on this classic love quest. Note that no other Looney Tunes characters will appear besides those two will appear in this story, and that this takes place in The United States in 1911-1912. (That important history year will be important in the later parts, and where it is in america is up to your imagination) Now, here is the prologue!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Ah, America. They say it is an area of freedom and happiness. And they sure are right. It's so peaceful and quiet.

But I haven't introduced myself, haven't I? My name is Penelope. Penelope Pussycat to be exact. I am a black cat, and a unique one if I say so myself. I am a little shy, and I have been that way all of my life. Nothing bad happened, I was just born that way, I guess.

I have lived in this fine place for all of my life, and I have liked every year of it. I don't really have an owner, and I don't want one. I just like my basic, simple life.

What is my basic, simple life you ask? Well, I will just make a summary of it. I stroll around. And enjoy every minute of it. Seeing how I am a kitty I don't have to worry at all about being feared of by the nice people in the town. I enjoy the nice sights, the wonderful ocean, and life itself. My life seems to be perfect.

But it really isn't. There is one thing. Just one more thing I would like is to Be acknowledged for being very unique. You see, I can actually stand up tall, hardly any other cats I see can even come close to that. When I stand up tall, I don't need to purr against a person's legs. I can hug one of their legs instead. But no matter how cute I act, They always treat me like the average kitty.

And I guess it would be better off that way. Still, I love the attention, and I always crave more.

Until the day my awful luck began.

It was a normal day in the spring of 1911. There were people shopping, browsing around, and just simply getting their jobs done. I had just finished doing my daily stroll when I noticed there was no line at the antique store. Normally that was the busiest store in the city, and whenever I would try to enter, I would get pushed back by the crowd of humans trying to buy one of the old things in there.

But there was no one in line, and the store was open! This could be my chance to explore the inside of a store for the first time in years! I got on my fours and ran inside the store.

Inside the store, I noticed how pretty it looked. On the higher floors of the walls there were a lot of beautiful paintings, paintings I have never seen before. But I had no time to stare at art. There was one thing I have always wanted to do in the antique store.

Play with the manager. According to from what I have overheard from the people who wait in line to get in the antique shop, the manager has some valuable items, and if I could distract her long enough, I could take one home with me. I normally don't like to do sneaky things to humans, as they are actually nice and friendly. But I couldn't buy anything, after all, I am only a cat. So I decided to make my move.

I turned left and noticed the female manager looming over the short table. This was my chance to strike. I went around the table and went up to her legs, where she then looked at me.

"Oh, what a cute kitty!" She bent down and started petting me. I then started my plan. I nudged her feet and began to purr.

"And you are so soft as well... But I am sorry, you can't be back here in the manager desk, little kitty." The manager somehow knew what I was plotting, so I decided to change my plans. I sat down and did what I hated doing the most. I started to speak. I knew humans couldn't understand what cats could say, so I decided to just repeat the word "Meow" over and over again, hoping to get some sort of reaction out of the woman.

"Oh dear... Are you hungry? Is that why you came here? Well, I guess I can get a treat for you in the fridge." The manager went west and entered a door, which I assumed was the kitchen.

I quickly went onward behind the counter, and looked around to see what I could take. There was all sorts of valuables, but I didn't want anything too precious, as I only wanted something simple. So I looked some more and saw it. A black mirror covered in hearts. I picked it up and looked into it to make sure it worked. And it did. I could see myself in the mirror. I held on to it and ran out of the store and into the streets.

Purr-fect. I got something unique for once, maybe I can use this for something...

There was just one problem; I didn't know what to use it for. Not yet. But I had no time to make up my mind, as I heard the voice of the manager.

"Little kitty, where are you? I got you some treats!"

I was a little hungry, but I knew if I entered it again I would get caught, so I stood up and continued my stroll, to the nearby park where I slept every night...

And that's the prologue! Apologies if it happened to be a little confusing due to the introduction of Penelope, but in the next chapter it will make more sense as she messes around with the mirror... Until next time!
