Okay... Ummm hello! This is a Hairspray fanfic that I just couldnt get out of my head so I wrote it down... And I would really like to thank dbfan87 for all her help and for putting up with my spazzy (is that a word?) e-mails... Thanks! Oh, and another thing- I made this chapter short so I could get a feel for if people wanted me to continue... or not. I'm hoping for the first one but whatever. OKay, I'll do the disclaimer and then I'll be done... Promise!

Disclaimer: I cant really think of a cute and witty way to say I dont own Hairspray so- I dont own Hairspray!

"Penny? Penny? PENNY?!" Seaweed cried shaking Penny's shoulders gently.

"Mmmm?" She asked looking up from her book.

"Girl, you read more than…" He searched his brain for a good analogy. "Someone who reads to much for her own good."

"That was the best you could do? And I like to read, thank you very much!" She pouted pulling her boyfriend down on the park bench with her. He laughed and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. Penny tossed her book on the ground and wrapped her arms around Seaweed's neck. "You know I think I found something I like more than reading."

"Oh, really?" He asked touching his nose to hers.

"MmmmmHmmmm."

"And what is it?" She leaned her head down so it was next to his ear.

"Chocolate." He smiled devilishly and leaned in for another kiss. When his face was inches from hers Penny jumped off the bench and ran towards the ice-cream man. "Your paying!"

When they both had their ice-cream (hers chocolate, his vanilla) they went and sat on the swings. Once they were done with their frozen dairy products Seaweed looked at Penny swinging. Her plaid skirt, white blouse, and knee high socks with brown penny-loafers may not have been fashionable but she was still the most beautiful girl to him.

"You know, Penny, I think you owe me for the ice-cream." She arched an eyebrow.

"Oh."

"Yeah, I think a kiss would cover it." He said trying to sound nonchalant.

"Only if you can catch me!" She bounded down towards the lake. 'That girl has more energy than Tracy… and that's saying something!' He thought chasing after her. He quickly caught up and grabbed her around the waist and lifted her off the ground a few inches. Penny began to laugh. Then they both caught sight of a white boy about their age running towards them.

"Put her down!" He yelled, coming to a stop in front of them. His dark brown hair was a little ruffled from his run and his outfit didn't look suitable for the park, khaki slacks, a white button-up shirt, and black shoes completed his look. Seaweed shrugged and dropped Penny on her feet. "Are you okay miss?" He asked. Penny glared at him. "Is this negro bothering you?" His voice held a touch of distain. Penny's face twisted into a look of disgust.

"No, I'm not okay. Here I am having a perfectly good time with my boyfriend and-" He cut her off.

"Boyfriend?"

"Yes, boyfriend." Seaweed growled wrapping his arms protectively around her waist.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought-"

"What? Because he's black I wouldn't like him?" Her gaze turned colder.

"Well…" He said implying that was exactly the case. The breeze picked up and Penny shivered.

"Come on baby, your mom'll be wanting you back soon." Penny nodded and turned to follow him. The boy grabbed Penny's arm and said in a low voice:

"If you change your mind, you can always call me." He slipped his phone number into her palm.

"Penny?" Seaweed called a few yards away.

"Coming!" She called. She turned back to the stranger.

"Penny… pretty name for a pretty girl."

"Just leave me alone!" She said turning away. She looked at the paper he had given her. In neat cursive it said:

Alec Goldwin

2242 Orchid Lane

722-3874

Call me!

In disgust she shoved it in her pocket and hurried to catch up with Seaweed.

"What did he want?"

"Hmmm? Oh! He just wanted to apologize." She lied. She didn't know why but she didn't think Seaweed needed to know. It's not like she was ever going to see him again.

"Good." He said pulling her closer. As they walked down the street they got their usual look of disappointment and mortified confusion from passers by. Penny was in no mood to be messed with today so she glowered at everyone. "Baby, are you okay?" Seaweed asked a little nervous.

"Just a little steamed… I'll get over it." He kissed the top of her head and shrugged.

"Aint no thang, girl. He's a jerk." They stopped in front of her home. "Well, goodnight, my princess." He said cornally bowing. She giggled and curtsied back.

"My prince." He gave her a soft kiss on the lips and they both headed home.
