HAHA! I hope none of you hate me for the cliffie! I just love 'em! It's fun to make people squirm! Sorry if Sunny seamed OOC. I just wanted her to have some more flaws. She's only human. Uh, half human. She's a little meen in this chapter. Well, I won't keep you much longer!

ON WITH THE STORY!

TTNG: New Team

Chapter 7: Penny Parker Part Two

...a bunch of figure skating uniforms.

"If that's what's in the closet, then what's in the chest?" Sunfire wondered out loud. She took out her lock pick and unlocked the chest. Inside was a bunch of trophies. Not much of a suprise, they were all for ice skating. LB gasped.

"I knew I'd heard her name before! She's Penny Parker the figure skater!" she said. Sunfire realized the same thing.

FLASHBACK FROM A MONTH AGO...

"Hey Ari! Where are you going at this hour! It's like, 4:00 am! And what's with your hair? Why are you in street clothes? Where's your mask?!" Sunny asked. Arachne's hair was in a bun, and she was in sweats. She turned around and dropped her bag, and something fell out. Before Sunfire could get a good look at it, she had put it in her bag. Sunfire realized now that it had been a skate.

"Oh! Hey Sun. I'm just going to, um...go get my hair cut!" Arachne said nervously. Sunfire raised an eyebrow.

"At four in the morning?" she asked. Arachne nodded.

"Yeah! Gotta beat the crowd! Bye!" she said running out the door. That's when Sunny started to keep an eye on her.

END FLASHBACK...

"That sure explains allot. Why she named her cat Kristi, why she leaves at 4:00 am, why her door code is Triple Lutz..." LB added. Sunfire suddenly got angry.

Then, they felt a presence behind them. They turned around and saw Arachne. And she wasn't happy. Even behind her mask, they could see the anger flashing. Now she hardly EVER got mad. But when she did, let's just say World War II looks like it was a bunch of six year olds with super soakers.

"What are you doing in my room?" she asked her eyes burning holes in Ladybug and not effecting Sunfire. Actually, Sunfire was getting mad herself. Nothing gets her mad quicker than someone getting mad at her for no good reason (actually she did have a good reason to be mad. Sunfire's just to much like her dad to see it).

"Finding out more about the side of you that you keep secret. What is it with you? It's like you have some completely different identity that we know nothing about. Until now!" Sunfire was starting to yell now. The boys had come back from their shopping trip, and were now watching the show. Arachne glared. Hard. So much that Sunfire was shocked at how different she looked.

"A whole other identity that you know nothing about?! That's why they call it a 'Secret Identity'! Not a 'Hi! I want everyone to Know Who I Am Identity'!" Arachne yelled back. Ladybug was getting annoyed. It brought back some very annoying memories.

FLASHBACK FROM THREE YEARS AGO

"Hey! You skipped me!" Sunfire yelled at Crow. Ladybug made a mental not not to play Sorry with these two ever again. Because no matter what, they were never sorry.

"Tough luck Blondie! You snooze, you lose!" Crow said mockingly. That was a BIG mistake.

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BLONDIE YOU PATHETIC DWEEB!" Sunfire screeched.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A DWEEB YOU WALKING TIME BOMB!" Crow yelled back.

The insults kept on going until...

"QUIET!!" They turned to see Ladybug, with her face red with anger and annoyance. She took a moment to gain composure.

"If you guys want to settle your differences, you'll have to do it the hard way."

END FLASHBACK A/N I bet you guys recognize that!

Not a good memory.

"Ugh! You guys are acting like you and Crow did when we were thirteen! If this turns into 'The Hard Way' I'm out of here!" LB said finally taking charge. Everyone looked at her in shock. Sunfire shook it off and turned back to Arachne.

"Look Arachne, Penny, whoever you are! You need to start telling us things. How can we even trust you if we don't know about your past?" she asked. Then instantly regretted it. Percy was not amused. He got into the mix.

"Hey! She doesn't need to tell you everything about her past if she doesn't want to! I never even told you everything! If I didn't have to why should she? You've known her your entire life, and you say you can't trust her? Come on Sun. That's not how it works. I thought you of all people would know that." he said. Everyone stared at him. Did he actually say something serious? It couldn't be. Sunfire sighed, then walked out of the room to cool off. Arachne put her wrist in position and everyone ran. She stopped Percy.

"Thank you." she said.

"Hey. I can relate to you. So no problem." he said. Arachne was finally starting to understand him. She then put her hair in a bun, and put on her sweats. Then took off her mask.

What a crazy day. Why did she act like that to Ari? Something that had to do with control no doubt.

"Mind if I join you?" Crow said sitting next to her on the roof. It was their favorite hang out.

"I don't have much of a choice now do I." Sunfire gave a weak smile. He put his arm around her.

"You mind telling me what was going on there?" he asked. Sunny sighed and put her head on his shoulder.

"Well, I wanted to know more about Ari, and I tool the opportunity to learn more about her when she left. I dragged LB with me. She caught us. You know the rest of it." she explained. Crow looked at her a bit confused.

"Sun, that really doesn't sound like you. What more do you need to know about Arachne? We've known her our entire lives. Sure she has a few secrets, but who doesn't? Don't give me that look. I know you, me, and LB don't have any secrets about our pasts, but it's not the same for the others. They haven't had the same life we've had. We can't always have complete control over everything Sun. That's just the way life is. Especial for super heroes." he said pulling her a little closer. Sunfire stared at him.

"Who are you and what have you done with my boyfreind?" she asked. Crow laughed.

"Hey! Give me more credit than that!" he said. Then he flashed a goofy grin.

"There you are!" Sunfire declared. He grinned again.

"Come on. Let's go see if you can make up with Ari." Crow said. But before they could leave, he kissed her. Of coarse she kissed him back. It was a long kiss. It would have lasted longer if it hadn't been for:

"MY EYES! THEY BURN!" Hex screamed running down the stairs. And if he ran, you know he ran fast.

"OK. NOW let's see if you can make up with LB." Crow repeated.

"You can't. She went to the Ice Rink." LB said.

"When she gets back." Sunfire said.

On the ice. It felt so right. It helped her cope with her problems. Think about things. This time, she was thinking about whether or not she should tell her friends about her life. Or two lives (she fell). That was the problem. Two lives never work. You need to chose, but that was an impossible choice (sit spin). Her dad didn't need to chose, so why did she? That was one of the many problems with her life. That and the fact that she hid behind a ditsy mask.

That girly, romanticy mask she hid behind just made her miserable. It made her constantly aware that her freinds didn't know her. Not really (she did a double axle). The only person who really knew her was her father (Triple Lutz).

Unlike most teenage girls, she was very close to her father. He was the only one who really knew and understood her. She got her powers from her father. Peter Parker was like her best friend. He came to every single competition she was in. Sure her mom did too, but she never understood how important it was to her (figure eight). She was glad that he would be visiting in two weeks. He had respected her decision to join the Titans. He knew why she had done it. She wanted to learn more about herself.

Now she understood. The only way to do that, was to tell her friends about herself. About her life.

Wow. This is my favorite chapter so far! I don't know why, but I love it.
