A/N: This is my first FanFic ever so I'm sorry if it is horrible! I'm not
that great of a writer.
-----------------------------------
This takes place after the episode "Take A Penny, Leave A Penny". It's the morning after Jake makes the pro and con list. Jake and Penny are at the beginning of their relationship and the office seems to be filled with doubts and confusion.
This chapter is called "Morning Doubts".

-----------------------------------
Penny's alarm sounds. It is time to get up and get ready to go to work. Usually she dreads her alarm. It always used to mean that it was time to go to work and listen to Jake whine about Dylan. Today, however, was different. He wouldn't be whining about Dylan. He'd be smiling at Penny. Penny, his new girlfriend. Jake's Dylan days were over.
Penny gladly gets up and into the shower. She gets dressed, does her makeup and dries her hair. She decides to pick up something for breakfast on the way. Maybe a bagel, and a muffin for Jake. She smiles at the thought of it. She finally has Jake.
-----------------------------------
Jake sits in his office. He is waiting for Penny to arrive. He can't believe they are together now. He's so happy. All of a sudden, Dylan walks in.
"Hi Jake," she says.
"Hey Dylan," he replies.
"Want some coffee? I just put on a pot".
"Um, sure".
Jake walks to the coffee stand with Dylan. They begin to talk and laugh, just like they did at their usual coffee sessions. Jake even makes the little creams talk like puppets. Everything Jake had been thinking about before seems to have slipped his mind.
-----------------------------------
Penny walks into the office to see Jake talking with Dylan. He was doing his "creamer" bit again. Penny rolls her eyes.
"Sorry to break the news to you, Gepetto, but the cream isn't a real live boy", she says.
"What? Oh, hey Penny", he replies, startled. He smiles at her.
"Hi. I picked you up a muffin" she tells him.
"Oh, thanks".
"No problem" she says, giving him a kiss.
Penny smiles at him, says a quick "hello" to Dylan, then goes to her desk. Jake watches her walk away.
-----------------------------------
Dylan feels uncomfortable. This whole idea of Penny and Jake together seems so strange to her, so unnatural. She had almost forgotten about the whole thing.
Before, Dylan had thought that Jake had a crush on Penny. Lately, however, she had thought his feelings were directed more towards her, until, of course, she saw them kissing in his office. She shuddered, remembering that moment, and remembering why she had been going to see Jake that afternoon. She couldn't believe her luck that she had seen them together, otherwise she could have made a huge fool of herself, as well as ruining her relationship with Gavin.
'Gavin isn't really so bad' she told herself. She knew Jake didn't like him, but that was Jake, not her. Her feelings were what counted, and her heart belonged to Gavin. She loved him. At least, that's what her mind kept telling her.
-----------------------------------
Jake felt ashamed of himself. While standing there talking to Dylan, he had forgotten all about Penny. In fact, he thought he was still in his Dylan phase. 'You're with Penny' he kept reminding himself. 'You don't like Dylan anymore. You like Penny. She's your girlfriend. She's the one you want'. Jake then nodded (to no one) and walked over to Penny, leaving Dylan by herself at the coffee stand.
"Hey kitten" he says.
"Hey doggy" she replies, not looking up from her desk.
"So, do you wanna come have breakfast in my office?" he asks.
"Um, sure. I'll be in a minute. You can take the food with you if you want" Penny tells him.
"Uh, ok" Jake says, picking up the bag and walking into his office.
-----------------------------------
Dylan was listening to them from the coffee stand. She found it so annoying that Jake would talk like that in the office while she was there. Hey kitten? What was he trying to pull? And she didn't like it that Penny kissed him right in front of her. Public displays of affection were so annoying. Her and Gavin never did that... or did they?
She didn't understand Penny, either. Even with a boyfriend she was still her sarcastic self. Dylan figured that Penny would open up, become a little bit more warm and caring since she was in a relationship. Why was she acting like that? She should be happy for herself and lose the negative attitude.
-----------------------------------
Penny could tell Dylan had been watching them. She also thought that Dylan looked sort of angry or put off, and Penny liked it. All along, Dylan had had the boyfriend, Gavin, her prince, and chasing after her was Jake, Penny's prince. For once, Penny got the guy. Sure, Dylan had never admitted that she wanted to be with Jake, but still, she had kept Jake away from Penny. Now that Jake wasn't available anymore, Dylan was mad, which was so ironic, because Penny was happy. Funny how those things work out, isn't it?
Penny could see Dylan watching her out of the corner of her eye. It was starting to bother her. What was she staring at?
"Do I have something on my face or something?" Penny asked her, in her usual sarcastic tone.
"What? No. Why would you think that?" said Dylan.
"Well, maybe because you've been staring at me for only, well, since I walked in here" Penny answered.
"Oh, have I? I'm sorry. I just have things on my mind. I didn't notice I was staring. Sorry." Dylan told her, and with that she went to her office.
'Yeah, sure you do' Penny thought. It was so obvious that something about Penny bothered Dylan. Could is possibly be that her new relationship with Jake was bothering her? 'Good' thought Penny. 'Let her be jealous. Jake picked me'.
She was still worried though. Jake had given up on Dylan so fast, what if he still had feelings for her? 'No' she said to herself. 'He chose me, he came to his senses and chose me. He won't change his mind'. But a voice in the back of her head said 'What if he does?'. Penny shook it off and went to eat breakfast with Jake.
-----------------------------------
Jake was sitting at his desk when Penny came in. She sat down across from him. He smiled at her.
"Wow, I'm getting lots of stares today" says Penny. "It must be my new shampoo".
Jake laughs. "No, it's just you. You're so pretty" he says.
Penny smiles. "Well, I'm sure that's not what Dylan was thinking while she was staring at me. In fact, I know that's not what was on her mind".
"Dylan was staring at you?" asks Jake, confused.
"Yeah, and when I asked her what her problem was she brushed it off and left" Penny tells him.
"Really? That's weird" he says.
"Nah, who cares?" asks Penny. "She was probably just jealous, because I have a cute boyfriend that I care about, who just happens to care about me too".
Penny smiles while she says this, walking over and sitting on Jake's lap.
"You think she's jealous?" asks Jake.
"I don't know" says Penny. "I don't really care. Why? Do you?"
Penny has a wondering look on her face as she looks at Jake. He's so tense. After a pause, he answers her.
"No. Why would I care?" he replies.
"I have no idea" says Penny, more relaxed.
The two continue to eat their breakfast, talking casually about nothing.
