"Stuck In an Elevator with You"

I'm coming back to the writing world! Hoo-Ra! Anyways on to the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hamtaro. Because if I did then it would still be going on. :D

Penelope ran through the park as her chestnut brown hair flew behind her, her ribbon dangerously close to falling out of her hair. She was supposed to meet Cappy at his apartment at 3:15. It was 4:38. She had fallen asleep while she was watching the documentary they had to watch for a school assignment, then the next thing she knew she was more than an hour late for her "meeting" with Cappy. 'He is so going to kill me.' She thought as she jumped over a little kids bike laying in the street. She turned a corner and could she his apartment within minutes time. Then she started to sprint as it became within feet of her. She busted through the door and found an unhappy looking Cappy standing there, tapping his foot impatiently.

"You're late." Cappy stated, an unhappy tone emitting from his voice.

"Sorry! I fell asleep while I was watching that stupid documentary for school." Penelope replied with a sheepish look on her face as she tried to fix her ribbon tied around her curly hair.

"You fell asleep?! I couldn't stop watching it!" he stated, amazement dancing in his eyes.

"Wait, hold up. I thought I was talking to Cappy not Maxwell!"

"What? It's a good documentary!"

"It's about the anatomy of a freakin' pig!"

He sighed; he was obviously not going to win this argument. "Whatever. Let's just get in the elevator." He said as they left the lobby and into the elevator. He pressed the glowing number 5 button and the elevator began to go up. Then suddenly the lights went out and the elevator stopped moving.

"What just happened?" Penelope asked, although she knew the answer.

"Something just blew the power transformer." Cappy replied.

"Power trans-whater?"

"The thing that gives the elevators and lights its electricity," He explained, "but this apartment building has backup generators so the electricity should come back on soon." And as if on cue the lights came back on, but dimmer than before, leaving a yellowish hue on their skin.

"Then how come the elevator isn't moving?"

"There must not be enough energy."

'Stupid generators.' She thought as she slid down the wall of the elevator and sat down, "Guess we'll be in here for a while." She said with a look of discomfort on her face.

She did not feel like spending her afternoon with Cappy in a poorly lit elevator. Not that she didn't like him or anything. In fact, they were best friends. But lately it felt as if Cappy has been slipping away from her. Ever since he go that silly kid crush on her older sister, Pashmina, he never talks to her anymore. She was very surprised when she got a call from him asking her to come over. But she had to admit, she couldn't blame him for having a crush on her. Almost every boy in school liked her, and the guys that didn't like her liked either Bijou or Sandy. And that was still a lot of boys. Penelope let out a deep sigh of frustration, she would never admit it, but she was insanely jealous of her sister. She had everything in the world that she ever wanted. She was beautiful, smart, funny, naturally cool, equally cool, beautiful, smart, and funny best friends. And not to mention talent. Total Molly Sue, right? But along with everyone else her sister has her flaws too. But apparently, God had chosen her to have most of the flawed end. Or so she thinks.

Cappy noticed her sigh and sat down with her. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing of interest. So while were stuck in here why don't you tell me why you wanted me to come over? I mean we haven't talked all week. What's up?" she replied, glancing at him.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask you for advice on how to get Pashmina's attention."

Penelope sent him a death glare, "That's IT?!? I'm stuck here in an elevator with you because you wanted to know how to get with my sister!?" she asks angrily as she stood up and sent him even more death glares.

"Uhm. Yes?" Cappy answered, getting extremely nervous as he slowly scooted to the corner of the elevator, to avoid the wrath that was soon to come.

Penelope let out a groan of frustration, "You are just so, so," she let another angry groan out as she paced around the elevator half yelling and half mumbling things in a different language.

"Why are you so mad?" he asks.

"Why am I so mad? You got me stuck in a stupid elevator because you just wanted tips on how to get with my sister! You could've asked me that over the phone! But no, you just had to see me in person!" she replies angrily.

"Sorry.." he mumbles.

"You better be sorry! Sheesh. I could be at the mall right now with Jenny and Erik, but I just HAD to meet with you."

"Do… do you hate me?" He asks with concern stamped across his face.

"No. But I'm on the verge of doing so."

"Why?"

"Why? Well because you never call me anymore, we haven't talked or seen each other this whole week, and you got me stuck in an elevator because you wanted to know how to get with my sister."

"Oh…" He said, crestfallen.

"But seriously. Why haven't you talked to me this whole week?" Penelope asked, finally calming down as she slid next to him.

"I don't know. I guess I just didn't know what to talk about." Cappy said with a guilty look on his face.

Penelope sighed. It was true; lately they have been having lots of trouble on figuring out how to keep a conversation going. She felt her ribbon starting to get loose again. Sighing she undid the bow and chucked the ribbon to the far corner of the elevator, her curly hair now falling freely. She wondered why Cappy had taken a sudden interest in her sister. Never had she thought that he too would fall under her love spell. The only person not under a love spell by her, Bijou, or Sandy, was Panda. And boy, did Pashmina have a crush on Panda. But right now her sister was dating Stan, Sandy's older twin brother.

"What do you like about her?" Penelope asked, looking Cappy straight in the eye.

"About who?" Cappy asked, playing dumb.

"You know who. My sister, Pashmina."

"Oh, her. Well…" Cappy hesitated, not knowing what to say in front of his 'crush's' sister, "well she has the most beautiful hazel eyes I have ever seen, the softest and shiniest golden blonde hair, soft pale skin, and she's tall. She's also very smart and funny, and she's really good at writing poems."

"I see." She said. 'He's just like the rest of them.'

At first look, you would have never guessed that Pashmina and Penelope were sisters. First off, obviously, Pashmina is two years older than Penelope –she was in high school while Penelope was in 8th grade-. Second, Pashmina was very tall while Penelope was a cute petite size. Pashmina also had straight blonde hair, soft pale skin, and hazel eyes, while Penelope has curly brown hair, soft porcelain skin, and rare purple eyes. And while Pashmina was very outgoing, Penelope was often very shy. But there were talents the two shared and didn't share. Penelope is very good at sports while Pashmina wouldn't be getting a trophy any time soon. Penelope was also good at writing poems, songs, and stories, just like her sister, but what Pashmina didn't have Penelope got. Pashmina was a dancer and very graceful and elegant, while Penelope was a little clumsy. But while Pashmina excelled in dance she failed in the art of singing, where Penelope had an amazing voice. But because of her shyness not many people have heard it, nor did they believe it.

"But there's something about her that's missing. Something that I just don't get." Cappy continued.

"And what is that?" Penelope asked, getting curious.

"Connection. We just don't click. I mean I can't keep a solid conversation with her."

"Well then, I guess that means you two weren't meant to be, maybe you should like someone not two years older than you and who already has a boyfriend." She said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.

"Ha-ha, very funny." He said as he rolled his eyes to show what he ment.

"Seriously though. Why don't you ask that Melody girl out? She's super cute and she's amazing in basketball!"

"But I don't like Melody! She's creepy."

"And your picky! See, perfect couple."

"Oh yeah, then why don't you go out with Robby? You're both big mouthed." Cappy said, crossing his arms.

"You know what? Maybe I will." Penelope retorted as she too crossed her arms and looked the other way.

"Really?" He asked, shocked at her answer.

"No. I couldn't even if I wanted to anyways." She replied, finally looking his way.

"And what's that?"

"I have a boyfriend."

Ta-Da! First chapter up! Hope you like it :D So who do you want to be Penny's boyfriend? YUP! I'm letting you decide! :D the one with the most votes gets the "treasured" position :P.
