I do not own Pepe or Penelope
Based off of a surprising concept I noticed in the names of the French skunk and pussycat. Still early marriage and where Penelope mentions meeting Nancy and Henry.
Chapter Six
Meant for Each Other
"Your parents will like me won't they?" asked Penelope one evening as she rested on top of Pepe on the couch after their dinner. Her back faced his front side which made her turn her neck to see his eyes.
"I don't see why zhey would hate you Pen," said Pepe feeling lazy. He brought one arm to her stomach. The television quietly played a crime show that was no interest to the two.
"They may ask why you married someone not French, since my name isn't French and I don't have an accent."
"I love your voice," said Pepe. "You don't need an accent Penelope. I love you for you."
He kissed her neck since it was easier to reach than her lips.
"I zhink you have the most beautiful name out of all zhe women who leeve in France," he continued. "Eet even goes well weeth mine. My name eez een eet!"
"What?" asked Penelope moving to her side to face him. She smiled at him. "No way."
"Yes eet eez." said Pepe. "I just realized zhat! Zhe first and last letters of your name spell out mine."
"Penelope," said Penelope to herself. She quietly spelt out her name. Then she looked surprised and wide-eyed. She looked at Pepe who was sitting up, cross legged. He put his hands behind his head calmly and smiled at her.
"We were meant for each other alright," she sighed sweetly. She propped herself on her knees and then nestled into the corner of the couch next to Pepe.
"I knew zhat long before I even noticed zhat detail," said Pepe.
"I guess wishing my name to be something else was a waste then." She said. "I usually wondered why I wasn't named Charlotte because I thought I looked like one."
"You don't to me," said Pepe gently and took her in his arms. "Penelope eez zhe right choice of a name for you."
"My father named me Penelope," said Penelope.
"Zhen zhat shows fathers have a knack for choosing good names for daughters." said Pepe, not knowing that would be true for him.
