Chapter One.
We were both young when I first saw you,
I closed my eyes and the flashbacks started.
I'm standing there,On a balcony in summer air.
The song drifted through the Stubs household, as Penny's youngest granddaughter, Chelsea, had the song playing from the living room stereo. The silver haired woman closed her eyes as she let her memories wash over her. She could see the day she was first introduced to Seaweed Stubs; it had been through her best friend Tracey Larkin, who was Turnblad at the time. Penny could still see his sweet, young face, as he looked her up and down, causing her to blush. He had smiled warmly at her as they contunied to stare at each other
He was her first real crush, and man was he cute. She laughed softly as she remembered the butterflies that filled her stomach everytime he looked at her. How silly she must have been talking with Tracey for hours on the phone, although her best friend understood. After all she did the same about Link Larkin.
See the Lights, the party the ball gowns,
See you make you're way through the crowd.
And say Hello Little did I know.
Sitting down in one of the chairs in behind the house that she and Seaweed had shared, and raised four children in. Starring out at the empty field just behind she let her mind wander again, the window was open and Chelsea had turned the volume up. Memories of the Miss Teenage Hairspray competition of 1962 came to her mind. She had been so nervous that night, wearing a dress that one of Seaweed's friends had lent her. It was a beautiful, blue form fitting dress that had a little coat that covered the shoulders, being raised Catholic Penny had always been taught that a lady never revels her shoulders. On her feet were a pair of deep red pumps, her first time wearing a pair. She laughed to herself as she remembered getting so many bruises and scratches from practicing how to walk.
The night had been spectacular, Tracey had stood up finally to Amber vonTussel and had won the heart of Link Larkin, whom she'd been crushing on since Penny could remember. The best part though was that Inez, who was Seaweed's younger sister, won the competition and integrated dancing on the Corny Collins show. Seaweed had been so happy, and Penny remember feeling the urge to cry because she remembered the crestfallen look on the girls face when Maybell had said Negro Day was cancelled, and she was happy for her because Inez was a good dancer and deserved to win that night.
