"Back step, cha cha cha, side step, front step, back and turn!"
Link sat on the audience seats, watching as Corny ran through a familiar dance routine with the rest of the council. He didn't feel like dancing. One week had passed since Maybelle's party, and Penny seemed to be completely ignoring Link. Tracy insisted she was just upset because of Seaweed, but Link knew it was because of their kiss.
Link ran a hand through his perfectly sculpted hair, mussing it slightly. He didn't honestly care. He sat still, glaring contemptuously at Seaweed.
"Grams," Hannah interrupted, blinking up at me with large blue eyes, "What's going to happy with Penny and Link?"
I laughed and kissed her head, "Let me finish the story, and you'll know!"
"Are they really real?" she asked, smiling.
I nodded, "Yes."
"How do you know?"
I didn't answer, and sighed longingly.
"Anyway, Han. Let me continue…"
Penny trudged onto the set of the Corny Collins show. Tracy had practically begged her to come, and she didn't want to upset her best friend.
Penny perched on the far end of the bench, not noticing Link sitting at the other end. He saw her, though, and scooted up beside her.
"Hey, Pen," he beamed. She jumped violently, toppling off the bench with a loud crash. All the dancers stopped, and stared at Penny, who was sitting up, rubbing her sore head.
"Are you alright?" Link asked worriedly. She nodded mutely, getting to her feet. Tracy and Seaweed both ran out.
"Penny! Are you okay?" Tracy asked, making sure her friend wasn't too badly hurt. Penny nodded again, clutching her head.
"What's two plus two?" Tracy asked.
"Five?" Penny giggled jokingly. Seaweed didn't seem happy that neither of them were worried about Penny's condition.
"Penny, are you sure you're okay?" he asked, "You could have concussion or something!"
"I'm fine, Seaweed!" Penny insisted. Link sighed, giving up, and followed Tracy back out to dance rehearsals. Link scooted closer to Penny.
"I'm sorry about scaring you," he murmured. Penny shot him a glare.
"Okay, thanks," she mumbled.
"Look, we've got to talk," Link whispered.
"No, we don't!" Penny snapped harshly, "What happened was a mistake. You have Tracy; who happens to be my best friend, okay?!"
"It wasn't a mistake!" Link cried, "I felt something…it was just…I—"
"Forget it!" Penny hissed, pleadingly, "It doesn't matter,"
"It does to me!" Link insisted, grabbing her hand, "We can't forget about it!"
Penny yanked her hand away, and got to her feet, "We can, and we will, you hear me? It didn't happen!!"
Link looked up at her with hurt eyes, and Penny just stumbled away, heading towards a different bench.
"Penny!"
Penny spun around to see Seaweed running towards her, disrupting the dance rehearsals once again.
"We've got to talk…"
Penny sighed, "I don't want to talk to you, Seaweed!"
"Please, it's important!" Seaweed pleaded.
Penny shrugged and gestured for him to continue.
Seaweed took a deep breath and, taking her hand, stood on one of the benches.
"I'm sorry I ever cheated!" he proclaimed loudly.
"Seaweed, what are you doing?!" Penny cried, embarrassed.
"I love you, and, darn it, I know you love me!" he exclaimed, "So…"
He leapt off the bench and landed, on one knee, in front of her.
"Penny Lou Pingleton…will you marry me?"
All the other dancers (plus Corny and Maybelle) gasped. Penny's mouth dropped open, and Link bristled in rage.
Penny took a deep breath, and said…
Ha. You'll have to wait 'til next time. Sorry about the shortness. - :D REVIEW
