"What did you say?" Corny asked her in shock. He got off her like she was contagious and Penny had never felt so embarrassed before in her life. "Nothing." She said even though it was pretty clear that she called him Seaweed. She didn't know what else to say. She just wished the floor would sink in and take her down with it right now.

"I heard what you said." He said angrily.

"Look I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you Seaweed it was just a mistake." She pleaded. She had been thinking of Seaweed when they were about to make love but she didn't think she would call out his name.

"How the hell did you make a mistake like that, Penny?"

"I'm sorry." She said not knowing what else to say. She didn't know how to explain it to him in a way that he will understand.

"Are you still in love with him?" He demanded.

"What? No of course not!" she said but she had to look away. She wasn't a good liar; everyone knew when she was lying.

"You are aren't you?"

She just started crying which confirmed it. She didn't want to hurt him but she couldn't deny her feelings for Seaweed, even though she couldn't have him. It still wasn't fair for her to lead Corny on.

"Penny, don't cry it's okay. I knew you still loved him from the moment he came back to town. I just didn't want to admit to myself that I was losing you." He said and stroked her hair. She just cried some more. She sobbed and he held her in his arms to comfort her. She was losing him but she wasn't going to get Seaweed either! She was all alone once again.

"So it's really over between you guys?" Tracy asked her on the phone that day.

"Yeah, I realized that I still loved Seaweed."

"You already knew that. He just found out about it, right?" Tracy asked her.

"Right." She said. She didn't tell Tracy about the embarrassing bedroom thing but just basically it was over between her and Corny and he surprisingly understood. He even offered to let her stay in the guest bedroom until she was able to get her own place but she felt it would be too uncomfortable and was back living with Tracy's parents. She had just got through moving her things into the bedroom an hour ago. "What should I do now?" She asked Tracy.

"About what?" Tracy asked her.

"About Seaweed,"

"There is nothing you can do. He's still with Amber and for some strange reason he loves her," Penny sighed in defeat. She knew Tracy was right but when was Seaweed going to realize that he loved her and not Amber?

Penny was still depressed the next day when she went to lunch at the café alone. Only difference now was that she really was alone and everyone really could look at her with pity. She ate her bowl of chicken noodle soup and looked around the café and saw several other people in the restaurant most of them were couples and it made tears come to her eyes. She had never felt so alone before in her whole life. She wiped her eyes with a napkin.

"Aww you're all alone." She heard a voice say and looked up and saw Amber Von Tussle looking at her. She flashed Penny a cold smile. Amber was the last person she wanted to see right now. "What do you want Amber?" She said still wiping her tears with the napkin.

"I'm here to have lunch with my boyfriend, so where's your boyfriend? Oh that's right you don't have one anymore." Amber said in fake surprise.

"Leave me alone, Amber." Penny said rolling her eyes.

"I thought the last thing you wanted was to be alone but I guess you are just getting used to the rest of your life."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well Corny doesn't want you and Seaweed sure as hell doesn't want you. And I'm sure no other man in Baltimore is blind enough to find you attractive. Face it Penny you are going to be an old lady who talks to her cats."

Penny stood up angrily and got up in Amber's face. "Listen to me you evil bitch!" She said and pointed her finger at Amber.

"Amber, I thought you were going to meet me outside." Seaweed said suddenly coming up to them.
"Oh I just saw Penny and had to talk to her." She said smiling and then pulling Seaweed in a kiss. Penny rolled her eyes in disgust. She felt like she was going to throw up her lunch.

"Hi Penny how are you?" Seaweed said smiling at her.

"I'm okay." She said even though it was obvious she wasn't. She was sure her eyes were red from crying but Seaweed didn't question it.

"Great, well I'll talk to you later." He said and walked with Amber to a table towards the back. She watched them sit down together in the booth on the same side and Amber kissed him occasionally and gave her a superior smile. She wanted to knock that smile of Amber's face. She paid her check and left because she couldn't watch any longer. She cried again. She felt that she would never stop.
