Penelope had quite a long lie in that morning. She was incredibly tired out from the previous night. She hadn't been disturbed for the entire night, completely oblivious of the camera in her room. She already had the day planned out. Her and Paul were going on a tour of the town with Sylvester and his son. They were going to introduce him to all of their friends in the town. Then they were going to watch a movie in the evening. By the time Penelope woke up, it was about 11:00. Sylvester would be arriving at about 12:30, so she had an hour and a half to get herself ready. She put on a dressing gown and went to her bathroom to have a nice refreshing shower to help her wake up. Her bathroom was fairly small but it had everything she needed. The walls were coated in tiles decorated with red roses. The shower was fairly small but it was big enough. There was also everything else that you would expect to find in a bathroom. Penelope began having her shower not realising that there was another camera in the room. This one was located just above the shower cubicle pointing straight down. Like the camera in her room, it was too small to be seen. It was actually filming her having her shower, with her having absolutely no idea. Penelope spent about 20 minutes in the shower before she came out, wrapped a towel around her and returned to her room. She sat on her bed with her towel wrapped around her and had a look at the clock on her bedside table. She was excited about giving Paul a tour of the city, although she was very nervous as to how he would react when he would meet Tweety and Aaooga. She would hope that he would be able to control his natural instincts to try and catch the two canaries. If that happened, she would have to restrain him. That wouldn't be easy as he was very strong. It may be necessary for Sylvester to help restrain him. They would probably introduce Paul to the canaries last. Penelope was wondering how Paul would get on with all of their friends, not just the canaries. She decided to dress in normal casual wear for the day and change into smart wear later. When she was dressed, she went into the living room and turned on the telly before heading into the kitchen to get herself a cup of tea. The TV had been turned onto a news channel for the moment. There was nothing special on the news at the moment, just the usual events that happened. Soon after the kettle had finished boiling and Penelope had made herself some tea, there was a knock on the door. Penelope had to put her tea on the table to answer the door, expecting it to be her brother. When she opened the door, there was a yellow male cat in front of her. He was dressed in a shirt and shorts. He was about the same size of Penelope and had similar colour markings to Sylvia. He also had a newspaper in his hand. Penelope just looked blankly at the guest, knowing what he wanted.
"Oh, hi Bruce." Penelope muttered.
"Penelope, can you…" Bruce began but Penelope cut him off.
"Unlock your room door. Sure, sure." Penelope opened a cupboard next to the door and pulled out a set of keys. The keys she pulled out were the master keys for all the rooms in the building. She grabbed the keys and went with Bruce to his room, number 4. She unlocked his door and then looked at him.
"Bruce, this is the 3rd time this week. You really need to remember your keys. The doors auto lock when they close." Penelope said.
"Look, I'm absent minded." Bruce protested. Penelope just smirked and replied sarcastically.
"I haven't noticed."
"I'll pin a reminder to my door so I don't forget."
"You said that last time. If I didn't know better, I'd say that you forget your keys just so you have to knock on my door." Both Penelope and Bruce sniggered at this remark.
"I know you're taken and I'm not bothered. Thanks for letting me back into my room." Bruce went back into his room and closed the door. Penelope tutted to herself and went back down to her room. She actually saw Paul waiting outside her room. He was knocking on her door and waiting for her response.
"Morning Paul." Penelope called out. Paul nearly jumped out of his skin and turned around to look at Penelope.
"Where were you?" Paul asked.
"One of the guests was locked out of his room."
"Does that happen often?"
"It's happened to the same person for the third time this week." Paul and Penelope both laughed together at this.
"How long will it be until your boyfriend comes?" Penelope looked at her watch. It was now 11:30.
"Sylvester will be here in about an hour." Penelope opened the door to her room and went inside.
"Like a drink before he arrives?" Penelope asked.
"Sure."
Before giving Paul a tour of the town and introducing him to their friends, Sylvester, Penelope and Paul had a mixed lunch in Penelope's apartment block. After lunch, they took Paul around the town and introduced him to all of their friends. Sylvester Jr. was with them, playing on his PSP, not paying much attention to what was happening around him. They were currently sitting on a small bench in the park in the centre of town. They had just finished introducing Paul to Porky and Petunia. It had now come to the moment where they would introduce Paul to Tweety and Aaooga. They had agreed to meet in the park, so Paul could be restrained easily if needed. Besides, the canaries' house was far too small. They were waiting for the canaries to arrive at the bench. They had only been waiting for about five minutes so far. A few people had walked past them and not paid much attention to them. After about 10 minutes of waiting, Sylvester saw Tweety and Aaooga flying up the path, with Becky clinging onto her mother's back. He tapped Penelope and Paul on the shoulder to get their attention and then waved at Tweety. Tweety waved back at the cats and the canaries flew over to the bench.
"Good afternoon Tweety, Aaooga, Becky." Penelope greeted.
"Morning Penelope." Aaooga replied.
"And you must be Paul." Tweety said, looking at Paul.
"Yes, that's me." Paul replied.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Paul." The canaries were keeping a safe distance from Paul just in case hid feline instincts suddenly took over. Although they were a safe distance, Tweety did offer his wing in friendship. Sylvester and Penelope held their breath and waited to see what would happen. They were prepared to leap in to save Tweety if they had too. Paul took Tweety's wing ever so gently and the two shook hands. Paul looked at the canaries and smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Tweety." He let go of Tweety's ring and put his hand on his lap. Penelope and Sylvester sighed in relief.
"If you don't mind me asking, how are you able to control your natural instincts?" Aaooga asked.
"Easy, I'm allergic to birds. I can touch them but I can't eat them." Paul replied. Penelope gave herself a mental slap on the head. She suddenly remembered that allergy that Paul had; he had had it ever since he was young. Becky decided to peep over her mother's shoulder to see what was happening. Paul noticed the small canary and looked at her.
"Who's that?" Paul asked.
"This is our daughter Becky." Tweety replied. Becky flew off her mother's back and onto Sylvester Jr's shoulder. The kitten was still engrossed in the PSP, but he did register that Becky had landed on his shoulder. The young canary began watching the PSP, completely engrossed in what was going on. She didn't know enough to know what was going on though.
"So where are you staying Paul?" Tweety asked.
"In Penelope's block of flats." Paul replied.
"The ones she inherited?"
"Yeah."
"How are you enjoying the town?"
"It's a nice town. I'm going to like it here."
"Are you guys busy tonight?"
"On that note Penelope, you're going to watch a movie tonight aren't you?" Paul asked.
"Yes, we're going to watch a surprise movie." Penelope replied.
"It's still a surprise." Sylvester added.
"Why do you ask?"
"You haven't brought me tickets have you?" Paul asked.
"We thought we'd ask if you wanted to come before we brought the tickets."
"I'll let you two have your time together and stay in my room."
"Sure thing."
"No offence, but you sound like a bit of a loner." Tweety said.
"Tweety, he's just been through a rather tough time." Penelope said.
"I'd rather not say what's been happening." Paul added.
"Ok then, sorry." Tweety replied.
"Tweety, we'd better go. It's been a pleasure to meet you Paul." Aaooga said.
"Ok then. Come on Becky." Becky jumped off of Sylvester Jr. and onto her father's back. Tweety then flew over to Aaooga.
"We'll see you guys whenever we see you." Tweety said.
"See you guys." Sylvester replied as the Canaries flew off. This left the four cats on the park bench. Sylvester Jr. was still playing on his PSP, still completely engrossed in the device.
"Penelope, did you know that Paul couldn't eat birds?" Sylvester asked.
"I did remember when he mentioned it actually." Penelope replied.
"You forgot that!" Paul exclaimed.
"Yeah. I'm a little embarrassed." Paul put a hand on his sister's shoulder.
"I forgive you."
"Thanks."
Much later that evening, Sylvester and Penelope were both standing outside the cinema in the town. They had gone to a small cinema very near the block of flats that Penelope owned. The cinema was called Alpha films. Sylvester had chosen this small cinema rather than the big cinema as it was often much quieter. They also replayed old classic movies as well as showing new movies. The two cats had just watched the old classic 'Casablanca'. The cinema exterior was also a classic looking building. There were statues of famous movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe outside. They made enough money out of people coming to see old classics rather than modern new productions. The two cats were standing outside Sylvester's car.
"Do you want a lift back?" Sylvester asked.
"I'll walk. The block of flats is within walking distance. Besides, I need the exercise." Penelope replied.
"Ok then. I'll give you a ring tomorrow."
"Goodnight Sylvester."
"And you Penelope." Before Sylvester climbed into the car, the two cats engaged in a compassionate kiss. It lasted about 10 minutes before Penelope broke away.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Sylvester climbed into his car as he said this. He waved to Penelope before driving off. Penelope waved back before walking back home. In order to get back to the flats, she had to take a route through an alleyway. She did know this but it had only just clicked in her head. She began walking down the alleyway nervously, remembering the story Sylvia had told her about what had happened to her in an alleyway. She walked down the alley slowly and nervously, hoping that nothing bad would happen on the way back. As she was walking down, a sudden chill went down her spine. She had a sudden feeling of paranoia. She nervously looked around the area, but saw nobody.
"My imagination." Penelope muttered. She resumed walking down the alleyway, being ever cautious as she went. As she was walking, she suddenly heard a clanging from the alleyway. She quickly turned around but saw nobody. However, a lid had been knocked off a nearby dustbin.
"Who's there?" Penelope called out. There was absolutely no response at all. She began to feel very nervous. She felt as though there was somebody around, but just couldn't see anyone. She proceeded to walk again, but this time even more cautious. There was another sound from the alleyway; this time it was a rustle. Penelope spun round but still couldn't see anyone. A drop of sweat ran down the side of her face as she looked around. She could feel her heart begin racing out of fear. She could even hear it beating. Luckily, the alleyway didn't go on for much longer and the block of flats was virtually next to the alley. Penelope walked again, even more cautiously and slowly. There came one final sound from the alley. This time it sounded like footsteps. When she heard this, she freaked out and ran. She quickly got out of the alley and into the door to the block of flats. Once inside, she gave a huge sigh of relief and went into her room, as she now knew that she was safe. When she was in the room, she had a quick glance around. She noticed that the red light on the phone in the far corner was flashing. This told her that she had a voice message waiting for her. She wasn't particularly in the mood for listening but decided to listen anyway. She went over to the phone and pushed a button on the phone.
"You were called today at 20:00 hours. The caller withheld their number." The machine said before the message began to play. The voice was incredibly spooky and low pitched. It had also been altered by mechanical means.
"Hello there Penelope. You don't know me, but I know you. I know your every move. I know about your brother and your boyfriend. I knew that you were going to the cinema tonight. I know everything that you did last night as well. You cannot escape my watch. I'll be watching you forever. You cannot get rid of me. You do not even though who I am, and you can't fight whom you can't see or know. I'll say now that the only way to get rid of me is to sell me your body in person. I shall eave you details at a later date. If you try and get the police or any law enforcer involved, then the one you love dies! You have been warned." A wave of fear flooded over Penelope. She had a stalker. Nothing like this had ever happened to her, not including the incidents with Pepe le pew. Sylvester had to be told about this, but there was no way she would be able to sleep peacefully now.
