Zzaaaaappppppp! Penn and his friends finally stood back on the teleporter in the theater again.

"Ah! Finally! Home!" Penn breathed, throwing his hands up.

"Yeah," Sashi agreed. "Home." She turned to Boone. "I still can't believe that 'true love's kiss' worked. And since when did robots have true loves?"

His face turned the color of a tomato. "It wasn't a kiss. More of a peck," He mumbled.

"Oh please! That was so a kiss!" Penn guffawed.

"I did what I had to, okay?" Boone shot back. "She did explode."

"Yeah, with happiness," Sashi snickered.

"Let's just put the past behind us, or should I even mention who got their foot stuck in his own bucket during the final chase?" Boone huffed.

Penn threw his hands up in defeat. "Okay, Boone. You win. We won't mention it again. Besides, how was I supposed to know she goes berserk if she doesn't win?"

"You don't. But you should've trusted Sashi to win."

"She didn't want to win!"

"Not wanting to win and not winning are two very different things!"

Sashi shook her head in fake disgust. "Boys."

She began walking out the door, and Penn chased after her. He stuck his hand inside his pocket and touched the MUHU. Okay. Here goes.

"Um, Sashi?" He called out. She turned back with a flick of her pigtails. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Would you, um, would you mind going to the, uh, movies… With me? Tomorrow?" He stammered, feeling a blush coming on.

Sashi raised her eyebrows, but cracked a smile. "Yeah, sure."

And with that, she stalked out the theater.

"So, movies, huh? What're we watching?" Boone prodded, nudging Penn on the shoulder.

"Not 'we', Boone. Me and Sashi," He explained.

"Oh," Boone said, feeling hurt. Then, his face expanded into a huge grin. "Ohhhhhhhhh…"

"Boone!"

….

"So? Did you ask her yet?" His mom called from the MUHU, sitting on a rock with his dad.

"Mom!" Penn whined. "And yes. I did."

"And what did she say?" His dad commented, as spikes suddenly started growing out of the rock.

"She said yes, okay?" He confirmed, smiling sheepishly.

"That's my boy. Now, go to the movies, and have a great time," His mom said, jumping off the now living rock, holding hands with his dad. "Got to go! Have fun, and we'll be back home in no time!"

The MUHU clicked off, and he was left sitting in his room. He edged over to the window and looked out in the vague direction of Sashi's house.

"Yeah," He whispered, smiling wistfully. "In no time."

Okay, I am soooo not done with this yet. Stay tuned.
