A/N: Well this is the last part! Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy it! Reviews are always appereciated :)
"I'm fine Tracy, really" Penny said. She was talking to Tracy on the phone at work a couple of days later. She had told her everything that happened and now she felt that Tracy and her parents were babying her. Tracy called her every couple of hours, and Wilbur and Edna were always asking if she was okay. It was nice and she appreciated it but sometimes she got tired of always saying she was fine. "I'm really sorry that happened to you and I'm sorry I can't be there for you."
"That's okay. Your parents have done enough for me already." Besides checking on her every hour, Wilbur also took her to work and picked her back up. Plus, Edna called her while she was at work and never let her even go down the street alone even if it was broad daylight. Her eye had gone down a lot but it was still evident that she had a shiner. This was why she was working in the back.
"Have you talked to Seaweed?" Tracy asked her.
"No, not at all. He must still be with Amber." She had hoped he would dump her after seeing who she really was but he didn't so he must love her for some reason. She was starting to wish Seaweed had of left her there being that close to him and losing him again hurt even more than being assaulted.
"I'm sorry Penny. He'll wake up one day," Tracy said trying to reassure her.
"Well, I won't hold my breathe." She said sadly. One of the salesgirls walked in the back and told her she had a visitor.
"Tracy, I have to go. Someone is here to see me."
"Really who?"
"It's probably one of your parents checking up on me. I'll call you right back." She said and hung up the phone. She went out to the front and was surprised to see Seaweed standing there.
"I just came to check up on you." He explained when he saw the shocked look on her face.
"I'm fine," She said in an exaggerated tone.
"That's good. Look I'm sorry about Amber but you know how she is."
"Yeah I do." She said. He knew how she was and yet he was still with her. She didn't understand it. Why did men like stupid mean girls like Amber Von Tussle?
"Do you want to have lunch later? I'll pick you up and we'll decide where to go."
"That's nice of you but what about Amber? Wouldn't she be mad?"
"We broke up and she went to Europe to live with her mom. I still can't believe I was so wrong about her."
Penny smiled. Seaweed and Amber were over and she had left Baltimore, probably forever this time. Could it get any better then that? She stopped smiling when she realized that Seaweed might have been upset about the break up. Maybe he was sad because he still loved her.
"Oh I'm so sorry Seaweed. Maybe one day you guys can be friends."
"I don't think so and I'm not sorry. I'm glad it's over and I'm also glad she's gone."
"Really?" She asked shocked.
"Yes I am. Penny being with Amber was a big mistake. I know I had to move on but Amber was a poor choice. I should have known better."
"Well, Lots of guys like her. She was the most popular girl in our high school and she was also voted most attractive. She's very pretty." Penny said
"But she's also very bratty and mean. You are much prettier and you are also nice. Amber can't hold a candle to you Penny." He said taking her hands into his. Penny blushed from head to toe. It felt so good to hear him complimenting her again.
"Penny I still love you and if you can forgive me for not seeing Amber for what she was, and if you feel the same way. I'd like for us to start all over again."
"Oh Seaweed! Yes! I'd love to!" She said and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. She had been hoping for this to happen for a really long time and it finally was.
"Why are we here?" Penny said to Tracy as she walked her into the TV station a week later. She and Seaweed had been back together for a week and she was happier she had been in a long time. Tracy had came home for the weekend and Link was with her. They were all dressed up in formal wear. Link and Tracy hadn't told her much of anything. Tracy had came into her room earlier that day with a box with a pretty lavender dress in it with a white ribbon. There was a note in the box saying it was from Seaweed. She didn't know why Seaweed would give her such a dressy dress that she probably wouldn't use for anything. Now, they were dragging her into the station and she had no idea why.
"Come on Penny. It's a surprise." Tracy said and looked at Link and smiled at him. They obviously knew something that she didn't. Tracy opened the door to the studio of the Corny Collins show. "What's going on?" She asked Tracy.
"Come on you'll see." Tracy said as they stepped inside. Penny saw the studio decorated with pretty balloons and streamers and a lot of people who graduated with them from their old high school was there all dressed up along with some members of the council including Lil Inez. "Is it some kind of party?" She asked watching everyone dance around and as they noticed her they flashed her a smile.
"Wait here. I'll get someone who can explain everything." Tracy said and dragged Link off. Okay, what was going on here?
"Hi Penny." She heard a voice say from behind her. She turned around and saw Corny standing there smiling at her.
"Hi Corny." She said she was a little uncomfortable around him especially since she was back together with Seaweed. She didn't know if he knew they were back together or not.
"So how have you been?" he asked her
"Very well actually." She said smiling and immediately stopped smiling because she felt bad since how she was feeling had a lot to do with Seaweed. She was sure he didn't want to hear that.
"It's okay. I know you and Seaweed are back together." He said reading her mind.
"Are you really okay with it?" She asked.
"Of course I am. I want you to be happy. You deserve it." He said and hugged her.
"Thanks." She said
"I hope we can be friends now." He said when he let her go.
"That would be great and maybe as a friend you can tell me what's going on here," She said hoping someone will tell her something.
"I can't do that, Penny. You'll just have to wait. Sorry." He said and smiled at her then walked off. If someone didn't tell her what was going on soon, she was going to go crazy.
"Penny," She heard someone calling her. She saw Seaweed standing there dressed up in a tuxedo and carrying a plastic box. Link and Tracy were behind him smiling.
"Wow Penny you look great!" he said
"Thanks so do you but Seaweed what's going on here?" She said hoping he will clear things up for her.
"Well, we didn't go to the prom and I've always wanted to take you so I recreated it for you. Well really for us." He said and kissed her hand. She was surprised. "So you got all these people to help you out?" She asked shocked. That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her. "Of course I did! It was hard but it was worth it. Here's your corsage!" He said opening the plastic box and putting it around her wrist.
"Oh Seaweed! It's beautiful. If I had of known I would have gotten you one."
"Then it wouldn't have been a surprise." Tracy pointed out.
"I can't believe you kept this from me." Penny told Tracy.
"Me either. I can't believe I kept a secret." She said smiling at Penny.
"Come on Tracy let's dance so they can be alone." Link said and led her to the dance floor.
"So do you want to dance Penny?" Seaweed said holding out his hand.
"I'd love to!" She said grabbing his hand and letting him take her to the dance floor.
"I still can't believe you did all this fro me!" She gushed.
"Well, it was worth it. I love you Penny Pingleton and I'm going to make sure I never lose you again." Seaweed said.
"Don't worry you won't." She said and kissed him passionately. She loved Seaweed and this was her happy ending.
