(Alrighty so in this version of Pepperony Tony and Pepper are 16 and This version of Tony he never created iron man, iron man doesn't exist, he is not a technology genius and Pepper is not talkative she's just a cute redhead 3 this is one of my ideas of how it would be like if Tony had a normal life so I would re-introduce them AND THEY LIVE IN CALIFORNIA IN THIS ONE O 3O)
It was the middle of summer so it was very hot and humid, it was sunset. A 16 year old boy named Anthony but referred to as "Tony" was outside his house playing basketball with his friend James Rhodes but referred to as "Rhodey." He was wearing white cargo shorts with blue and black plaid stripes but no shirt and Nike shoes. Rhodey was wearing an All Star shirt with basketball type shorts and Adidas shoes.
Across Tony's house was an empty house up for sale but it had been bought by a man with his daughter and they were coming over with a moving truck to start settling in their furniture. The truck arrived and out came a girl with freckles and red long hair in a waterfall braid wearing a dark green tank top and short white semi ripped jeans with white high top converse and a black bracelet.
Tony and Rhodey stared at her like if they knew someone like her existed. "Wooooow she's hot" Rhodey said. "Come on Patricia" said the father. He opened the back of the moving truck, it was filled with boxes. The father and the girl were unloading the truck for a while when another car drove up and honked for them to come outside. "There's not much left in the truck I have to go do something important will you be alright?" asked the father. "Yeah dad don't sweat it I'll be fine" the girl said. The father ran outside and into the car.
The girl waved good bye as the car drove away. "Alright five more boxes to go" she said with her hands on her hips. She got into the truck and grabbed a box that was all the way in the back. She jumped off the truck with the box and sort of lost her balance. "Hey man I gotta go my mom won't stop calling" Rhodey said. "Alright later Rhodes" Tony said still looking at her. Rhodey ran down the block to his house. Tony watched her as she carried the box into the house.
She came back outside then went to go get another box, she got on the truck and tried to pick up a box but it was too heavy so she pushed it to the end of the truck and she jumped off. "Alright Potts you can do this" she said. She took a deep breath and tried picking up the box, when she lifted it off the truck the box pulled her down to the floor. "Whoa!" she said. Tony dropped his basketball and ran to help. "Hey, are you hurt? Let me carry that" he said grabbing the box but touching her hands.
"Oh t-thanks" she said as she looked up and was instantly stunned by the boy's looks. Tony looked into her eyes too, they were both lost in each other's eyes. There was a short pause but the girl snapped out of it first. "Oh um m-my names Patricia Potts but I go by my middle name Pepper" she said. Tony got out of it too. "Oh I'm Anthony Stark but I go by Tony eheheh" he said. Pepper let go of the box and Tony picked it up.
"Wow this is heavy how come your dad left you to finish this if you don't mind me asking?" Tony asked. "Oh my dad's a special cop he had to go to an investigation" she said picking up a lighter box from the truck. "Ohhhhhhh shit" Tony thought. "Oh that's cool" he said in a fake smile but inside freaking out. "Yeah it's cool and all but he's never home" she said. "Really? Same here my dad works at a hospital so he works a lot of night shifts" Tony said. "Aw but there's a lot of guys around this neighborhood I heard don't you hang out with some?" she asked. "Yeah my friend Rhodey lives down the block we hang out all the time" he said. They set rest of the boxes inside. "So where did you move from?" he asked curiously.
"Oh I moved from San Diego" she said. "Kinda far from San Francisco what made you guys want to move here?" he asked. "My dad got transferred to new headquarters" she said. "Ah" he said. "Well thanks a lot for the help" Pepper said smiling at the topless boy. "It's no problem happy to help" he said smiling back at her. "Is there anything else you need?" he asked. "For now I think I'm good" she said.
Pepper wiped the sweat from her forehead. She went outside to lock up the truck and Tony followed her outside. "Well, I'll see you around" he said. "Yeah" she said smiling. "Later" he said walking to his house. "Bye" she said waving at him. Pepper walked inside her new home and closed the door, Tony looked back at the house and smiled. The next day Pepper threw on a purple tank top but with dark colored jean shorts and her same white converse and hair, she went outside to water the tree and grass since it hadn't rained in awhile.
She pulled out the hose from the side of the house, turned it on and started watering the grass. Tony and Rhodey noticed her and they started glancing at her as they played basketball. "Quit staring man" Rhodey said smiling and playfully elbowing him. "I'm not" Tony said chuckling. Pepper noticed Tony looking over and she waved at him. Rhodey let out a small laugh. "Oh shut up" Tony said playfully. The boy's walked over to Pepper. "Hey Pepper" Tony said. "Hey!" she said cheerfully with a bright smile.
"This is my friend I told you about the one that lives down the block" Tony said. "Oh hi nice to meet you uhh your name started with an R…Rhodey!" she said. "Eheh yeah that's it" he said scratching the back of his head smiling. Pepper didn't have the top on the hose so she put her thumb on it so the water could squirt out further. "Hey maybe when you're done you um wanna play basketball with us?" Tony asked. "Sure" she said.
A girl with brown hair and a girl with blonde hair drove down the block and stopped at Pepper's house. They were in a white convertible volks wagen 2013 beetle. "Oh is this the new girl in the neighborhood? We heard you were coming" said the girl with blonde hair who was driving. "Yeah my name's Pepper it's nice to meet you" Pepper said with a smile. "My name's Whitney, oh she's so adorable!" Whitney said. The girls in the car laughed.
Pepper was standing on the side walk when she was watering the grass. "Oh I love your shirt it's so cute" said the girl with brown hair. "Yeah it would be terrible if something happened to it" Whitney said with a scheme up her sleeve. "Well awesome meeting you tutalloooo!" she said driving into the puddle on the curb the hose made and splashing Pepper. The girls laughed and continued driving away. "What was that for?" Pepper asked.
"That's Whitney and Katie they're not nice people at all, are you okay?" Tony said. "Yeah I'm fine I'm gonna go change my shirt" she said walking into her house. Few minutes later Pepper came out with another top with a different color, it was orange. "How many colors of that shirt do you have?" Tony asked. "All of them" Pepper said smiling. "I use these shirts all the time so I thought why not" she said.
"Well I think that's it for watering lets go play basketball" she said. They walked over to Tony's house. "Wanna be on my team?" Tony said. "I think I'll be on Rhodeys" she said. The boys looked at her confused but went along with it. "Ready…..Go!" Tony yelled dribbling the ball around running. Rhodey tried to block him from shooting but just in time Pepper got the ball. She ran around the drive way dribbling the ball while being chased by Tony. She got close enough the basket and threw the ball, she made it.
The boy's looked at her in shock. "Have you played before?" Rhodey asked. "I used to play all the time with my dad" she said with the ball between her hip and arm. "Alright let's go again" Tony said. They started again and after a few baskets the score was 6-5. "We're winning!" Rhodey said. "You win once you reach ten baskets so don't get your hopes up" said Tony taking the ball away from him and dribbling around.
"Hold on time out!" Rhodey said with his hands on his knees. "Whew I need a break Pepper could you beat him alone?" he asked. "Sure you go rest" she said. Rhodey went inside Tony's house to get a drink, the game resumed. Pepper dribbled the ball around running, Tony got the ball away from her. "Hehehe" he said. "You won't have it for long!" she said running after him.
He held the ball over his head since he was taller than Pepper and watched her as she struggled to get the ball from him. "No fair you're taller than me!" she said laughing a little. Her body was against his as she tried to get the ball, She took a big jump and hit the ball out of his hands. "Uh oh" Tony said trying to get the ball back. He did but Pepper accidently tripped on a rock. "Watch out!" she said as she was about to fall on him.
Tony dropped the ball and she fell on him. "Ow" she said. Pepper realized she was on Tony as she heard him groan in pain. "I'm so sorry!" she said. "It's no big deal" he said. He sat up and realized Pepper was sitting on him, Pepper realized she was still on him too and she blushed. "Oh what's wrong with me today I'm so sorry!" she said getting off of him and helping him up. "It's alright don't beat yourself up about it" he said. Rhodey walked out of the house. "I gotta go man, mom got's stuff for me to do" he said. "Later Rhodey" Tony said. "Bye Rhodey" Pepper said. "Later guys" Rhodey said walking home.
Pepper felt something sting her arm, she looked over at it and saw she was bleeding. Tony noticed too. "That looks bad let me go get something to clean that up" Tony said. "Come on" he said grabbing the wrist of her good arm into his house and to the kitchen. "It's alright you don't have to-"Tony stopped her. "You can't be outside with that it could get infected" he said. "Alright sit on the counter" he said. She tried but her arm hurt too much from the pressure. "Oww" she said. "Let me help you" he said. Tony picked her up by the waist and set her on the counter, then he went to go get things to clean the wound. He cleaned and disinfected her wound and patched it. "Thanks" she said.
"No problem" he said. "It's getting late I should get home my dad comes home around this time then at night goes back out" she said. Tony helped her off the counter. "Alright then" Tony said. He watched her walk home safely.
