Chapter 3
PenelopeÕs Squeak
ÒWe were separated when we where young. My parents divorced and I stayed with mother. Yosei had to stay with father, in Ham-Ham Land. Father was very cruel and given the name Devil-Ham.Ó Harmony said sadly. Everyone gasped. ÒYOSEI'S FATHER IS DEVIL-HAM?!?!?Ó the ham-hams exclaimed. Yosei nodded. ÒAs I was saying, Yosei ran away from home, which is not suprising. My sister and I have ben keeping in touch. Yosei is small and didnÕt know very many words. But she knows lots of magic and taught herself how to speak.Ó Harmony said. There was a short silence. ÒDo... you think you could teach Penelope how to talk?Ó Pashmina asked sheepishly. Yosei looked worried. ÒShe might help, Yosei...Ó Harmony said. Yosei perked up. ÒOkay!Ó she said. Suddenly a wand appeared in front of Yosei. She aimed her wand at Penelope and fired. A huge cloud of yellow, sparkly smoke filled the clubhouse. After the dust cloud disappeared everyoneÕs eyes were on Penelope. ÒC-c-can I talk?Ó she asked. Everyone's eyes widened. ÒWhat?Ó Penelope asked. ÒSh-sh-she can talk!!Ó Howdy exclaimed. ÒHer voice is cute...Ó Cappy said, sort of in a trance. ÒYeah.Ó Panda agreed. ÒWell it seems that PenelopeÕs adorable squeak was actually her real voice, which makes her soo adorable!Ó Maxwell said. ÒOoooh!Ó all of the ham-hams said, except Cappy, who was still in a trance. ÒI think Cappy has a crush on Penelope...Ó Stan teased. ÒPenelope, why donÕt you take off your blanket?Ó Pashmina said. She winked and smiled. Penelope blushed. ÒO-o-okay...Ó She said very sheepishly. She slowly took off her blanket and everyone smiled. ÒSheÕs so cute!!Ó Sandy exclaimed. ÒAwwwww...Ó Bijou said. Cappy stood transfixed at PenelopeÕs cuteness. Penelope blushed. Suddenly Stan started singing. ÒCappy and Penelope sitting in a tree...Ó he started. Sandy got the idea. ÒK-I-S-S-I-N-G!Ó Sandy sang. Penelope and Cappy looked at each other. They blushed. ÒC-C-C-Cappy?Ó Penelope asked very shyly. ÒY-y-yeah?Ó he said in the same tone. ÒI-I-I--Ó Penelope stammered. ÒI do too..,Ó Cappy said. They looked at each other and smiled.
