*SLAM*.Penn turned at the sound. At first he thought Sashi was stuffing the mascot in a locker again. But instead, it was an angry thug slamming someone into their locker. Penn waited, and as soon as the coast was clear, he ran to the locker.
"You okay?"Penn asked.
"Yeah, just a little bit cramped." It was a girl.
"What's your combonation so I can get you out?"Penn asked.
"It's 13, 15, 21. Please hurry, I'm gonna be late for P.E!"
As soon as Penn finished, the girl flung the locker open. She had messy black curls pulled back in a ponytail. She wore black boots, blue skinny jeans, and a white tank-top. And to top it off, a black leather vest and spike bracelet. She even had thin blue glasses that sat on the tip of her nose. Just like his mom's.
"Thanks, I'm Rebecca."the girl said.
"I'm Penn."Penn replied.
As she walked off, Penn realized he'd grown a crush on her.
I have a crush on a girl I just met! What the heck!
Penn walked in the Oddessy behind Boone and Sashi with a dreamy look in his eyes.
"Penn, you okay? You didn't try to race us today."Boone asked.
Penn snapped out of his daze. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Suddenly Phyllis land in front of them.
"You have a new partner on team."Phyllis said in her odd accent.
"Who is it?"Sashi asked.
Then Rebecca walked to the stair railing. "Me, your part-time technologist."Rebecca said, finishing what Phyllis would have said.
Penn stared in shock. Impossible! She couldn't possibly know about the multiverse! Penn thought.
Penn ignored this thought and stepped on the platform. He soon noticed the new spot between him and Boone. As soon as they all got on the platform they zapped.
Penn looked around. They had come back to where their first mission took place.
"Sash, check the specs."Penn said, trying hard not daydream about a possible future with Rebecca.
"Okay, Rippen stole an enchanted crystal and we need to get it back."
"Hey Boone, you think you could make a magic tool belt?"Rebecca asked.
She now wore a rock and roll princess outfit. Like Penn, her air was blue at the tips. She wore a skin tight black dress and knee high metal boots. And on her head sat a diamond crown.
Penn watched Rebecca work. From time to time she'd pull something from the tool belt Boone made, humming while she worked.
"Done!"Rebecca declaired minutes later. Penn couldn't tell what it was, but it looked cool.
"It's a hypnotic sound affect machine. All we need is a good voice to sing with it and we can hypnotize whoever Rippen is into putting the crystal back!"Rebecca exclaimed.
"But none of us can sing."Penn stated, remembering when they could only communicate in song.
"I'll try if you want me to."Rebecca suggested.
"YOOHOO!" Rippen taunted, waving the crystal air. "Looking for something, Zero?"
"Rebecca, I think that's your cue!"Penn stage whispered.
"Got it."Rebecca replied. As soon as she pressed a small orange button, she'd put Rippen in a trance. Then she started to sing.
"Creaking van iddli fla lu va pretty sah lu feh iddli twu ki pad. Trelly goilly doilly seli pretty chedi. Emi swalin gwoh. Seri ferin dorin greh. Fairy seiry don. Sweedes machin twinky doo. Fweeden soreti.
Rippen handed over the crystal. Then in seconds flat, they were home.
"Where did you learn that song!?"Penn asked excitedly.
"My mom taught it to me, she's a hypnotist."Rebecca replied subtly.
Penn was amazed. As he walked home he started to hum Rebecca's song. Just like her, he'd never forget it
