Chapter 7
The next day at school the candidates for the prom's Queen and King were announced. Of course Link was the lead runner for the boy's and Tracy for the girls.
Penny was walking the halls at lunch looking for Amber when she heard a someone banging around in the gym. She opened the door and saw Amber bent over the prom queens chair with a rope. "Amber?" Amber shot up and turned around to see Penny standing by the door. "Amber what are you doing?"
"Nothing. Just trying to finish the decorations for the prom. You know I'm on the prom comity."
"What's with the rope?"
"Oh that's just nothing. Come on lets go find Link." Amber grabbed Penny's hand and pulled her out of the room.
It had finally come, the day off the Prom. Penny was at Amber's to get ready for that night. They had pampered them self's that day by getting there nails and hair done. Penny had them do her hair like she did in the pageant and everything was perfect.
Penny and Amber were waiting for the boy's to arrive. When the door bell rang Penny and Amber grabbed there bags and headed into the living room to see Link and Brad waiting for them. When Link looked at Penny he went speechless, he keep opening and closing his mouth until finally he choked out "You look amazing." They all got into Links car and headed off to the prom.
When they arrived they all got the traditional pictures taken and went inside the gym. They couldn't even recognize it. It looked like a winter wonderland (which was the theme). The place looked amazing. "Wow Amber this place looks great." Penny said.
"Thanks and it's going to get better."
"What do you mean? Do you have surprise in store."
"Why yes I do."
"Well what is it?"
"Oh well if I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise would it? So you just have to wait and see." Amber grabbed Brads arm and walked off. "She's up to something." Link said as he put his arm around Penny waist and pulled her to him.
"Oh don't fret over that. Let's just have fun."
"Your right lets dance." Link pulled Penny out on the dance floor and they danced the rest of the night until it was time for the prom queen and king to be announced. The Principle called up all the candidates on the stage and walked up to the microphone. "And your prom king and queen are Link Larkin and Tracy Turnblad." Everyone clapped as Link and Tracy got there crowns and went to sit on the chairs that Amber made to represent there thrones. Tracy couldn't be happier until she actually sat down.
When Tracy sat down this green goo pored on top of her. The entire gym went silent. Then people started to laugh. Tracy started to tear up and she ran out of the gym. Penny and Link looked at each other with concern and surprise on there faces. Penny could hear Amber laughing next to her. Then it clicked this was the surprise that Amber had been talking about. Penny looked at Amber in disgust and shock. "You did this?"
"Yeah isn't it hilarious."
"No it's not." Amber stopped laugh. "It's horrible I can't believe you did this. I thought you changed."
"Penny she deserved it after what she did to you. She needed to be punished."
"Not like this no one deserves this, to be humiliated in front of everyone."
"Penny I'm sorry I thought you'd be happy."
"Well you thought wrong." Penny turned and found Link right by her side with the whole school looking at them. Penny Pushed through the crowed to find Tracy. She ran down some halls and looked into bathrooms until she saw Seaweed out side of one of the classrooms. "Come on Trac let me in." Penny walked towards them and when Seaweed saw Penny he stepped aside. "Tracy? It's me Penny. Please let me in." She could hear footsteps coming closer to the door a click and the door opened just a sliver. Tracy's hand came out and grabbed a hold of Penny and pulled her in.
"Did you have anything to do with this?"
"No of course not. If I had known I would have stopped it."
"I know you wouldn't do this your to much of a nice person to ever hurt anyone." Tracy said as she sat down in a chair. Penny walked over and sat in the chair next to her. "Everyone's going to be talking about this on Monday. It's so embarrassing." Tracy said.
"Don't worry about it Tracy it will blow over."
"No it wont."
"Yes it will I'll make sure of it."
"What do you mean?" Tracy looked over at her confused.
"I'll give them something else to talk about." Penny gave her a big smile. "Come on let's get you home. I'll spend the night and we'll catch up."
"Really that'd be great."
