I'm back! Again. For the sixth time in two days. My chapters tend to be really short. They might start gradually getting longer... Hopefully.
"Did you get in that much trouble?" Cassie asked worriedly as Penny ran into the dorm, breathing hard.
"Not at all," Penny said between breaths.
"What happened? Tell us! Now!" Lily squealed.
"Let her catch her breath first." Cassie reprimanded her.
"Yes, ma'am," Lily responded sarcastically.
"And don't call me ma'am, either!" Cassie threw her pillow at Lily from were she was sitting on her bed.
Lily responded by throwing it back.
Soon they were in a full blown pillow fight, with Penny on the sidelines laughing so hard that she didn't get a chance to catch her breath.
After a few minutes the pillow fight stopped, and Lily stared at Penny, finally asking, "What's so funny?"
This caused Penny to laugh even harder.
"I think she's gone mad." Cassie commented.
"We should dump a bucket of ice-water on her head." Lily said, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
"Nah, we should tickle her!" Cassie said.
And so the two girls proceeded to tickle Penny until her face turned red.
"We should stop before she starts hyperventilating," Lily finally said.
"She's been hyperventilating for a while now," Cassie retorted.
"Shut up."
It took five minutes for Penny to start breathing evenly again, and another ten for her to gain enough breath to talk.
"You two," She said, "Are hysterical."
"That's all?" Cassie asked.
"No, dummy, of course that's not all. It's certainly not why she got sent Madame Randolf's office!" Lily said, simply to disagree with Cassie.
"So, why were you sent back?" Cassie asked.
Penny grinned. "Adoption!"
Lily gasped, and Cassie shrieked, "Whatjamacallit?" Causing Penny to start laughing all over again.
I just discover spell check! I spelled that wrong...
I also just discovered that Ashkhabad and Assad are words...
Whatjamacallit, however, is not a word.
Pity.
