Hello, my name is EvelioandZgroup. Now here is chapter 2 of one of the most original stories in this archive. Also I would like to say to check out Major Kyle's story of "Out of Place" since it feels like a story worth reading. Anyway, enjoy.

Penny looked herself in the mirror, she was a bit more calmed down since she found out that she was really just a deer under a peanut shell. It was all so confusing for her, was she even related to her mom and/or dad? These kind of thoughts spiral out of control to her thoughts.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Said Mr. Fitzgerald, with his family outside and Penny in her room. "Why has this happened?" The doctor took in a while to give an answer. "You see, your daughter comes from a line of family that only happens about 3 or 4 generations of family since your species isn't an original breed, so in order to maintain, one family member must have their shell gone for now and later get another shell."

"Well can you just get us a new shell for her?" The doctor gave him a neutral face with a bit of worry. "I'm afraid it's not that easy since it takes weeks to get a new shell." Mr. Fitzgerald rubbed his face a bit and thought for a while to see how they can keep this under control. "How long is it gonna take?" "About 2 to 3 weeks, and that's if she's lucky to get one in time." "Oh this is terrible. My poor Penny is in that room." Mrs. Fitzgerald point to her room for dramatic preference. "Confused and scared about this."

Penny was a young girl, she looked at the mirror and didn't see "Penny" anymore, but one thing doesn't change for her, it's that she is a strong young lady and is about never giving up when the odds are against you. She decided to not let this get her down, but one thing still left her a bit of a funny question. It made her giggle, just for a bit. Was she naked or was like what Darwin is?

Either way, she grabbed the rope from the floor and grabbed the strings that held together with it and tied a knot from behind, over and loop for her. She went up of the door from her and slowly opened, pressed her fragile head against it and stared at them. Her family was arguing for her, they thought she didn't want to be looking like this. Though Penny was willing to try new things as her mother says and others say so, "You'll never like something until you try it out."

She went outside and saw her parents and gave her a look, but all she could do was give a smile, an innocent one. That made them think maybe they should just wait for the new shell to come for them. "I guess we can wait a week or so." Then she went back inside her room, with nothing to worry about.
