Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!


Dijonay couldn't believe her eyes. Her best friend... no, her FORMER best friend... went up and kissed her man right in front of her. She had to sit down and collect her thoughts. This was just... impossible! She couldn't have seen it!

And yet... and yet she did. She just saw Penny Proud kissing Sticky Webb. Her heart started breaking into fifty-two pieces...

She frowned. This was the worst day of her life...


LaCienga was still staring in shock as Penny and Sticky were released from the kiss as Sticky was giving a lovesick smile. Penny was blushing as she realized LaCienga was right behind her.

"Wow, Proud... I didn't actually think you'd have the guts to do it..." LaCienga said. "I'm impressed.

"Thanks..." Penny said, still shocked at what she just did. All it started was just to drive a point to Dijonay to stop betraying her... but then... why did she ACTUALLY enjoy kissing Sticky?

Sticky had felt the same way. This was meant to be something to get Dijonay away from him... he didn't want that kiss to mean anything... but to him, it did!

"Well... you just gave me a lot of juicy info, Proud. I'll see you around." LaCienga said as she started to leave, the other kids deciding that the show was over and everyone decided to head back to class. Zoey looked over to Penny and Sticky, still concerned, but deciding to walk off.

Penny and Sticky looked at each other for a mere moment... before turning away with a blush. They needed to get out of here... quickly! And so, they departed their separate ways.


"And so you see, with my brand new snack, dubbed 'Proud Chips On High', we have a tasty best seller!" Oscar smiled as he gave some samples to some of his bosses. "Go ahead, try one piece!"

His bosses, still uncomfortable with the idea of Oscar's snacks, decided to give them a taste... before they smiled as one of the bosses said, "Mr. Proud, you may have just made the best snack yet! This could be the next big seller!"

Oscar cheered. "YES! I knew I was onto something!"

"Mr. Proud, we're going to make work on the snacks immediately, we'll have them shipped and selling by next week!" One of the workers asked.

Oscar laughed. "This is the best day ever!"


"I'm having the best day of my life as well, Mr. Proud... though when you get home, it'll be your last!"

The female voice laughed evilly as she continued watching the events unfold from her monitor screen.


Meanwhile, back at the school, Penny was now a little uncomfortable as she was now thinking about Sticky. She couldn't get him off her mind now! She thought the kiss would mean nothing, but the more and more she thought of the kiss, the more and more she thought about Sticky and how handsome he is, for a techno geek like him...

She smiled happily as her eyelids started to go into a daydream...

She mentally slapped herself and tried to stay focus. She couldn't let a small crush get in the way of her studies... could it?


Sticky was experiencing the same emotions as Penny was as he was sitting down, taking notes. Sure, Sticky did have a crush on Penny Proud at one point, but he knew she and him were never meant to be... besides, as he told Oscar, she was a little looney... but maybe looney is what Penny is all about... somehow, he loved that in her...

Sticky's eyes widened as he realized he mentally thought the word 'love' to connect to Penny! He could hardly believe it himself...

He had to stay focused on his tasks. He couldn't let a small, revived crush get in the way of his life... could it?

It was that kiss that was initiated! Why did Penny have to initiate that kiss? Now, he couldn't stop thinking about how much he liked it...

Sticky paused as he started comparing other girls. He knew Zoey was shy, LaCienga was a popular fashionista, and Dijonay was a creepy stalker with no life... but then he started to think about Penny and what it is he liked about her.

"She's very pretty." Sticky thought. "She's not afraid to speak her mind when it comes down to it... she loves technology as much as I do..."

Sticky couldn't believe the similarities...


Penny then started thinking about Sticky as she compared him to other boys she dated in the past.

"Unlike all the other guys I date, Sticky has always been there for me..." Penny said. "He never pressured me into a relationship, and he sees me as a true friend... like he does... me..."

Penny gasped as a thought came to her mind. She really IS in love with Sticky Webb, and she never knew it!

Her first thought was, "YES! I'm in love with a cute boy!"

Her second thought after that was, "My dad is going to kill me and Sticky when he finds out..."

Immediately followed by, "But who cares? Sticky Webb, you may have gotten yourself a girlfriend!"


Sticky was smiling as he knew it to be true. He IS in love with Penny Proud... and it only took him a kiss between them to confirm it!

His first thought was, "This is the best day of my life!"

His second thought after that? "Hopefully she's not as bad as Dijonay..."

Immediately followed by, "Of course she's not! Penny Proud, I will make it our destiny to be your boyfriend!"

With both of their thoughts in mind, they both wanted to be careful... they knew they needed to approach the subject more carefully.

The school bell rang as both of them got out of class, both determined to meet up with each other.


Meanwhile, at the Proud Family household, Oscar Proud came in with a big smile as he called, "Honey, I'm home! And guess what? I sold a brand new snack, and we'll be..."

Oscar started to cough a little. "Be, uh..."

Trudy, who had just came in, raised an eyebrow in concern. "Oscar, are you okay?"

Oscar coughed. "I'm fine... guess I'm a little excited... I should probably lay down for a while."

"You better do that..." Trudy said as Oscar decided to lay down and relax.

Little did anybody know was that the snacks that Oscar ate was just now starting to kick in... and in about an hour or so, he would be... expired.

All according to an evil deity's plan...
