And with that, we are now in the finale of 'Spring Break Adventure'! It's been quite a while, but I'm glad I finally found the strength to continue and finish up the story beyond it's first chapter! Now, let's get down to it! Anyway, enjoy!

"And so, throughout the rest of the week, the Pitstop sisters have managed to reconnect with each other in ways they had never imagined. Putting their sibling rivalry aside, they became much more happier as they decided to exchange a lot of stories about what happened after they went their separate ways. Pandora even chuckled at some of the antics the Ant Hill Mob went into when Penelope told them the stories of the time they tried to save her from many perils, and in return, Pandora would share her stories about her life of crime. Even though these two girls realize they were opposites, they knew how to get along just great! Even the Bully Brothers got to enjoy their vacation, getting along with the Ant Hill Mob and having a great time together. All in all, a happy time for all..."

About a couple of days later, at the airport, Penelope, the Ant Hill Mob and the "Scully" Brothers had just arrived as Pandora was seeing them off.

"Are you sure you don't want to come back home with us?" Penelope asked her black haired twin sister. "The town has changed quite a lot since you left."

"Meh, no thanks. I think my days at Hanna Barbera Town are over for me." Pandora said as she looked over at the sun. "I think I want to get back to my hometown... maybe get myself a degree in racing..."

"Racing, you say?" Penelope said in interest. "You know, I was thinking about racing as well, whenever the Hooded Claw finally gets arrested for good!"

"Really?" Pandora smirked. "Then I guess I'll see you at the tracks if we ever meet again."

"I'll write a letter to you every week!" Penelope grinned.

"I probably won't write back." Pandora kept her smirk.

"But you still love me anyway!" Penelope giggled as she ensnared her into a hug. "BIIIIG HUG!"

"Hey, let go of me, you're squeezing-" Pandora choked a little bit as Penelope hugged her tight. "Stop wrestling me to the ground!"

As soon as Penelope let go of her twin sister, she paused. "If you ever do stop at Hanna Barbera Town, though, will you try and make a visit with me?"

"Hmmmm..." Pandora paused. "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it'll be a long visit..."

"Hey, Penelope!" Clyde called as the two sisters turned to the lead mobster, pointing to his watch. "I don't want to cut the long goodbye short, but we have an half hour before our plane leaves!"

"Oh, of course!" Penelope said as she turned to her sister. "Well, good luck out there!"

"You too, sister." Pandora smiled... before pausing as she turned around and picked up a wrapped up gift. "Oh, I have a gift for you!"

"Ohhhh..." Penelope smiled as she took the gift from Pandora. "What's inside?"

"Open it and see!" Pandora said as she took a few steps back, still holding the sinister grin on her face.

The Ant Hill Mob noticed Pandora's sneaky grin as they looked in horror as Penelope opened the gift, as Yak Yak laughed, "Penelope, don't open tha-"

KABOOM!

The present exploded in her face, leaving Penelope with soot all over her face as she blinked. She then turned to her sister with a glare as she gave a chuckle, Pandora saying, "No hard feelings, sis, but I did say until the vacation was over. And we are back to being enemies once more! Expect more like this in the future when we meet again! Good-bye, my sweet sister!"

And raising her hand, a taxi came in as she entered inside and it drove away, Pandora laughing evilly in the distance. Penelope just glared towards the departing car as she wiped her face off... before giving a small smile. "Sisters. What can you do?"

"Aren't you worried about what she said?" Softy cried.

"Not really." Penelope shook her head. "She always had a bad streak to her, always wanting to stand out. I think that's just how she is. I know she says she hates me, but I think deep down, she really cares for me."

"Well, if you're sure, Penelope..." Clyde said as Penelope turned to the "Scully" Brothers.

"You know, it is quite a shame Sylvester Sneekly just went back home without even a word of good-bye or where he went." Penelope noted as the Ant Hill Mob gave a sigh of relief.

"Maybe because he's in the hospital." Dum Dum pointed out. "I mean, he IS the Hooded Claw!"

"Dum Dum!" Clyde gasped as everyone turned to him as Penelope's eyes went wide.

After a minute of silence... Penelope just gave out a laugh. "Oh, Dum Dum, you are a funny guy. Sylvester Sneekly, my trusted guardian of the fortune, is the Hooded Claw? That's just plain ol' ridiculous!"

Everyone else sighed in relief as Penelope paused. "Come to think of it, though, I haven't seen the Hooded Claw either since the last peril he put me and my sister through. I wonder whatever happened to him?"

"I wouldn't worry about that, miss." Crane said as he shrugged.

"Yeah, I'm sure he's stewing somewhere, plotting for next time..." Tank gave a cheeky grin as the two both chuckled as the group started to head towards the airport.

"You know, they do bring up a good point. What DID happen to that Hooded Claw?"

Recently getting out of the hospital in San Francisco, more peeved than ever, was Sylvester Sneekly, who, at this moment, was limping on his leg. "Blast those Bully Brothers! They forgot all about me! Blast them! Blast the Ant Hill Mob, AND blast those Pitstops!"

Sylvester sighed as he did a quick spin as he changed straight to his Hooded Claw get-up, as he gave a sinister frown. "Well, no matter. After I get back home, and dock those Brothers's pay, I'll have some brand new plans to get rid of Pitstop for good... both Penelope AND Pandora..."

The Hooded Claw gave an evil laugh as he started to walk, only for him to wince as he kept walking on his bad leg. "Ha ha ha ha, ow! Ugh, walking on this leg is harder than I thought. Maybe I'll wait until it heals..."

With that, the Hooded Claw looked towards the morning sun as he gave a frown, knowing he'd have to catch the next plane back to his hometown... but he knew it didn't matter anyway... he knew that he'll be able to get back on his feet soon enough...

Soon... enough...

Orange Ratchet Story

"That's All, Folks!"

An Orange-Ratchet Fanfiction

And that is the end of this story! How did you guys like it? Okay, my final thoughts on this story!

When I first started on this, it was back in 2016, and even then, I only wrote the one chapter, because I wanted to experiment with this. Unfortunately, it was all but left as forgotten... until the poll for this month's stories came, and this tied with two other stories! And after using a randomizer and it chose this story, I decided to look over the original concept I had for this again, since I know Wacky Races had a reboot since that time. And I knew this desperately needed a rewrite, but since it was the one chapter, I figured 'Why not focus on not a romantic relationship in which Penelope meets another boy... but a family relationship, in which Penelope finds out she's not an orphan, as I depicted her in past stories I've done'. I'm glad Pandora was introduced, because it gave me fresh opportunities to explore her character, and how opposite she was to Penelope! All in all, I'm glad I went in that direction! For those curious, if I had went with my original planning, she would have met Peter Perfect from the original Wacky Races. However, I think Pandora had more of an interesting character to work with!

Aside from that, I'm glad I was able to finish this Perils of Penelope Pitstop story, and with that done, I'll be able to focus on April's next story for my 'Complete One Incomplete Story a Month' challenge... and this next one will be 'Future Visions', a Rocket Power story. Until then, for the rest of March, expect at least a couple updates on 'They Grow Up So Fast!', my Loud House story!

Anyway, thank you all for reading, and have a very wonderful day!
