Title: Thanks for the Memories, he tastes like you only sweeter.

Chapter 1

It was a late afternoon on October 19, 1963, Penny Connors was in Gordie Lachance' house trying to finish their Science project.

"Hey Gordie, can I ask you something?" asked Penny, looking nervous.

"You just did." Gordie said jokingly.

"Uhm, can you tell me about Chris Chambers?" She blurted out. "And his brother?"

"Why, don't you know him?" Gordie asked.

"Well, c'mon Gordie. I'm sick of hearing all those crappy stuff people think or say about him. I think he's better than those. And you're his best friend, I'm sure you know him better."

Gordie was surprised to hear those from her. At first, he thought she was just like other people who think ill about the Chambers. And she's beginning to be his best friend just after a couple of weeks. She seemed nice too.

"Please Gordie?" She begged.

"Okay fine." He said.

He told her a lot of stuff about Chris. He told her about searching for the body of Rey Brower, Chris's .45 that he pointed at Ace, Chris getting beaten-up by his fucking father and a lot of stuff about their friendship.

"Wow. I didn't know Chris was a really good person." Penny said, amazed.

"Yeah, it's just sad that he doesn't deserved how his father treats him and what people think of him." Gordie said sadly.

"I feel sorry for him, Gordie." Said Penny, thinking about the fact that Chris is always getting beaten up by his dad.

A few minutes later, Penny and Gordie have finished doing their Science project. All those weeks of hard work had paid-off for them. They had a survey asking about what will happen in the future. They made flying cars, modern technology and stuff.

"Well Gordie, I have to go. It's getting dark. I have to help my mom make dinner. It's really fun working with you and thanks for telling me about him." Penny said.

"Sure Penny. It's been great working with you too. Hey uhm, you wanna have lunch with us tomorrow? I could introduce you to Chris." Asked Gordie.

Penny became so happy about this. She was gonna meet Chris Chambers! And maybe try to be friends with him. She didn't need to think about it anymore. It was she ever dreamed of. She was now thinking of telling her friends and thinking about what to wear tomorrow.

"Oh yeah great!! That'd be awesome!!" Exclaimed Penny excitedly.

"Okay well see you tomorrow then. Good night!" He said, trying not to laugh.

"Good night!" And Penny began skipping all the way home. She arrived home as fast as she could and ran to the kitchen.

"Ah Penny, you're just on time. Why don't you help me take out the chicken from the oven. Your brothers love my secret recipe." Said Judy Connors, Penny's mom.

Her mom was a good cook. She was very sweet, optimistic and cares for Penny. Whenever Penny had a problem, she would talk to her mom. She could ask her about anything, like school, friends, clothes and boys. But Penny was shy to ask about boys. And it didn't matter to her anyway. Penny took out the chicken with pot holders on both hands and smelled it. It smelled delicious though. The aroma of the food reached the living room.

"Mmm…DINNER!!!" Yelled Roger, Penny's older brother. Roger was a College football player and really popular in school. Girls usually surround him because of his gorgeous face and perfect body. But only Penny knows about his personal problems.

"Mom, can we eat now? The chicken makes me hungry." Asked Johnny, Penny's other brother who was a senior in her school. Johnny was a little bit like Roger except for the fact that he wasn't really popular in school. He has a great relationship with his girlfriend and they had been together since 8th grade and planning to get married after College. Penny was close to Johnny because of his great sense of humor and carefree personality.

"Well we can all eat now." Said Penny's mom. They sat down together on the table and mother reminded her children that eating together with there is very important. As what their father had always taught them. Who has died 5 years ago. They all got over it but their mother never wanted to remarry, which was fine with them. They had dinner quietly and mother kept laughing at the boys for how they ate. After dinner, Penny helped her mother clean up and hurried upstairs. She got her PJ's and brushed her teeth. She was really excited to present their project and meet Chris Chambers.
