The Prom-ise: Chapter 2.

Later that day, Penelope was at home, talking with Lola on the phone...

Lola:" You What?.."

Penelope: "you heard me Lola, Pepe asked me out and I said yes!"

Lola: "But I thought you hated him?"

Penelope: "I never hated him Lola...well, maybe in the start! But he's a nice guy and he wants to go with me! Besides, Sylvester is going there with Sylvia, so why not?"

Lola: "..I got a bad feeling about this!"

Penelope: "Geeze, aren't We being positive..." Penelope said sarcastically.

Lola: "No no Penny, I'm happy that you and Pepe have found a date, it's just…I mean you know how sensitive Pepe is! It seems like a bad idea to go with him out of feeling sorry!"

Penelope: " yeah…I guess I was so upset about Sylvester that I couldn't take the chance of going alone...But you should have seen Pepe's face, Lola! He was so happy! I can't back down now!"

Lola: "Yeah well, I think you should do whatever you feel is right...But it's still nice of you to go with him though!"

Penelope: "Thanks...well, I'd better go take a bath for tomorrow..."

Lola: "yeah me too. Good luck with it Penny, ok? I'll see ya then!"

Penelope: Thanks, you too! Bye." Then she hung up.

Penelope feeling restless and worried of what Lola said, she took her robe and went to the bathroom. After her bath and in the middle of drying her hair and tail, the phone rang. She shaked the last bit of water of her tail and picked up the phone.

Penelope: "Hello?"

Sylvester: "Hi ehh…Penelope, its Sylvester!"

Penelope gasped and looked surprisingly at the phone then answered quickly.

Penelope: "Oh hi Sylvester! What...why are you..." but before she even could answer, Sylvester spoke again.

Sylvester: "yeah, I'm just calling because I thought about your offer and ehm...I would really like to go to the prom with you."

Penelope: "Really? You would?" Penelope said with an amazed look.

Sylvester: "Yes." He replied.

Penelope: "But, I thought you were going with Sylvia?"

Sylvester: "Oh her? It seemed like she didn't wanna go with me after all..."

Penelope:"oh I see..." she said feeling a bit sorry but also a lot happy!

Sylvester: "So, How about it?"

Penelope: "I would absolutely love too!" Penelope said like if she were talking to a celebrity.

Sylvester: "Great, I'll pick you up by 6:30 Pm tomorrow."

Penelope: "sounds great!" and after that they both hung up.

Penelope couldn't believe it. He had finally said yes! She danced around feeling like the luckiest girl in the world! But soon all that stopped and Penelope made a worried face. She had already promised to go with Pepe! Like she said; she couldn't back down! But then again, she had liked Sylvester for soo long and maybe she wouldn't get a chance like that again! She sat down for a little while, thinking. She made her mind and decided to call him the next night, right before the Prom. She couldn't stand to see his reaction! She had made her decision; promise or no promise, she couldn't slip the chance with Sylvester out of her hands! She just couldn't!

A day went, and it was the day of the Prom-Night. That night it was almost 6:30 and she was almost ready. She had put on elegant make-up, not to much cause she didn't find that attractive, and at red dress to go with red shoes. Suddenly the door rang. She exited ran over to the door, pulled herself together and opened.

Sylvester: "Hi Penelope!" Sylvester was wearing a black tuxedo and hold flowers in his hand.

Penelope: "oh, Hi Sylvester!..So happy you could come!"

Sylvester: "these are for you" He said handing her the flowers

Penelope: Aw, Thank you, they are so pretty!" she took the flowers and admired them

Sylvester: "so are you! Ya look great!"

Penelope: "hehe, why thank you!.." she said flattered.."So do you, by the way!"

Sylvester: "Thanks! Listen..Can I make a phone call before we go?"

Penelope: "well, yeah sure! There's one out in the kitchen."

Sylvester: " Thanks." He said closing the kitchen door.

Penelope feeling wonderful, looked into a mirror next to the kitchen door and sighed heavenly. Then she heard a voice, almost an annoyed one. Who was Sylvester talking to? She listened by the kitchen door where she clearly could hear what he talked about. He talked with Sylvia. Sylvia talked very loud, so it was easy to hear her too…

Sylvester: "No Sylvia, it's nothing!.."

Sylvia(phone): "..Then why did you go with Penelope?.."

Sylvester: "Because she asked me, and you didn't wanna go!.."

Sylvia(phone): "Why didn't you just go alone?.."

Sylvester: " Ya know I can't do that, it's a Prom!"

Sylvia(phone): so what is this?...you like her or what?"

Sylvester: No!...look, it's just a Pity-date..It doesn't mean anything!.."

Penelope looked up in shock! Everything just turned black to her now. The last thing she heard was Sylvia hanging up. She covered her face and ran to her room, locking the door. She sat down at the floor and cried her heart out! She couldn't believe her own ears..A Pity-date? She really liked that guy! how could he do that to her!...then she thought..It was kinda the same thing she did to Pepe!..Suddenly she didn't feel so sorry for herself anymore!..She cleared her face, fixed the last bit of her make-up, and walked out of her room. Sylvester just came out the kitchen..

Sylvester: "Sorry about that!.." he said with a tensed look

Penelope:" yeah, you know what?..I am too!"

Sylvester: "what?"

Penelope: "I heard everything in there!.."

Sylvester: Oh..You did?..Listen Penelope.." then Penelope interrupted him.

Penelope: "No, just forget it..It's my own fault anyway!..I have to go!"

Sylvester: "I understand...where are ya going?"

Penelope stopped by the front door..

Penelope: "…to get my date." Then closed the door after she walked out.
