The Police arrived shortly and took care of the Hood, leaving Jeff to carry Lady Penelope out. She was exhausted after the Hood's attack on her mind, and didn't have the energy to walk. Whilst they were walking, Jeff looked down at her.

"How many times have I told you not to go after the bad guys alone? Promise me you won't do anything like that again" he sighed.

"Only as long as you promise, never to give your life for mine" she smiled

"I couldn't let him kill you" he snapped.

"Well that's exactly how I felt" she shot back, as he grinned.

"I know" he smiled. "You just had me worried, that's all".

"Well, I'm sorry for scaring you, but I was scared for you too, you moron."

"You know, the Hood was right about one thing" he grinned.

"What's that?" she asked.

"Your tongue is definitely your deadliest weapon!" he laughed. She giggled.

"And what are you insinuating?" she asked, pretending to be hurt.

"That you have the most amazing gift of being able to give as good as you get, and need no time at all to think of a good comeback" he grinned.

"Well, I do try" she giggled. "Is that all he got right?" she questioned.

"Pretty much" he asked, somewhat confused.

"You mean I'm not your Princess!" she asked, in a small, hurt voice. His heart tightened at the look in her eyes, she truly looked upset.

"Penny, I've yet to meet a man who doesn't consider you a Princess" he smiled. She grinned brilliantly whilst slightly giggling.

"I suppose I'm just so amazing" she giggled. He smiled, 'You've no idea' he thought. "So" she continued. "When's the party?"

"What party?" he asked.

"Well I presumed that you'd be holding a big party, you know, to celebrate our defeat on The Hood" she asked cheekily.

"Oh, that party" smiled Jeff. "And what makes you think that you're invited?" Penny's mouth dropped as she stared at him. She grinned as she saw the mischievous twinkle in his eye, before replying tenderly.

"And there was me thinking that I was your Princess!"

"And I suppose that Cinderella would like to go to the Ball?" he smirked.

"Well, I don't know about Cinderella, but Lady Penelope would like to go to the celebratory Party" she said, with utter seriousness.

"Well why didn't you say so?" asked Jeff, receiving a gentle slap around his shoulders from Lady Penelope. "Be there around seven?" he grinned.

"Well, I'll have to check with Parker" she grinned. He just laughed as they made their way out of the bank and towards the Thunderbirds.
