Penelope smiled as she sat down as well, dishing herself some food. "So, what are we going to do today?" She asked before she took a bite.
group
"Well… I was thinking we could go down to the ocean. Maybe visit Elijah at the shop"
She says getting out her phone to check the time, then stuffing her mouth.
Picking up the rose again, he looks at it for a second, then back at his friends.
"What should I do?"
He says calmly, actually concerned for Penelopes well being. He knew she couldn't just live with Harley for the rest of her life. And the fact that it was on the news scared him even more. What were they gonna do?
"I say try to keep her safe and probably away from evil scientists"
One says while the other one steps forward.
"I don't know man…..its definitely something worth looking into more"
He says almost talking to himself.
Penelope smiled, nodding. "Sounds good to me!" She wiggled ever so slightly in her seat from excitement. She is a fast eater, so she was already done. Getting off the chair, she took her plate to the sink.

Finishing her food, she took her plate to the sink, rinsing it off.
"Thanks!"
She says as she leaves the dishwasher open for Penelope to but her dish in.
"Okay, if we are going, then i need to get ready. Oh, you can use my clothes until we go shopping."
She says with a smile.
"You're welcome!" Penelope rinsed off her plate and put it in the dishwasher, closing it afterward. "Sounds good. You can just give me something and I'll probably be fine." She said as she left the kitchen.
group
"Here, follow me"
She says with a little laugh, walking to her room. Opening her walk in closet, she turned around to Penelope.
"Choose anything, I've got more than i need."
Penelope's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh! You have so many clothes!… Thank you!" She stepped in, looking around. After a few minutes of looking, she picked out a softly pleated black skirt and a vintage floral shirt. "Does this work?" She asked with a smile.
group
"Yeah that's cute!"
She says with a smile as she gets out high waisted, riped, light skinny jeans and a Hawaiian looking button up t-shirt she was planning on tucking into the jeans.
"Oh, thanks! I'll go change in my room." Penelope dashed off to change. After she was done, she went to put her shoes on, not doing anything about her red curly hair. She didn't really ever do anything with it anyway.
group
Walking out, the short sleeves of the pink and green floral button-up going to a few inches above her elbows, tucked into her high waisted light blue ripped skinny jeans, four buttons going to her stomach. Her long brown hair falling down to just below her ribs, amazingly straight as it was wavier at the top. A black choker circled tightly around her neck, a triangle dangling from it, matching her earrings.
"You ready?"
She says as she slips on a pair of white sandals.
"You look so cute today!" Penelope said with a smile. "Of course I'm ready! Let's go." She opened the door, holding it open for Harley.
group
"Ah, thanks. You too!"
She says walking out of the door, locking it once Penelope stepped out.
"After we visit Eli we could go shopping and get you some clothes of your own if you want! Although it can definitely give you some of my to. I have way too many"
She says with a slight laugh.
"Awe, thank you. I would love to. Definitely take some off of your hands since you insist." Penelope glanced at the bike then back to Harley. "Is it close enough to walk or are we taking your bike?"
group
"Well this neighborhood is near the ocean, so it's not far at all. Just right over there."
She says pointing to exit near the other side of the small neighborhood.
"Over there, if we walk over there, you can see the ocean, and the shoos not far."
Penelope nodded with a smile. "Okay, that sounds nice!" She took a couple of steps, waiting for Harley before she continued. She let Harley lead the way.
group
After only about 2 minutes, they could see the blues and greens and white of the ocean and the waves, crashing against the rocks violently while other times it was gentle and calm.
"Here we are"
Harley says as she stretches out her arms, taking a deep breath, feeling the morning breeze against her skin, ruffling through her long chestnut hair.
Penelope took in a deep breath, savoring the ocean breeze with a smile. She kicked off her shoes and ran to put her feet in the ocean. Jumping back upon first contact, she slowly put her feet in again adjusting to the temperature. "It's so beautiful." She said almost to herself.
group
"Yeah….its quite gorgeous"
She says smiling to herself as she took another deep breath.
Elijah looked out the window of the shop to see two figures out near the ocean.
"Hey…..that your girlfriend?"
His friend says with a smile as the other one elbowed him.
"Which one?"
He says with a laugh as Eli picks up a cactus, pushing it on his friends arm.
"OW, WHAT THE- oh…..HEY what was that for!!!!???"
He says holding his arm, pulling little thorns out of his arm.
Penelope had a huge smile as she let the water crash onto her feet. She couldn't think of a better way to spend her morning. It was a good way to clear her mind.
group
Sitting down on a rock as water crashed over it every now and then, knowing she would get wet, she took off her pants, and unbuttoned her shirt, setting it on a higher rock. Revealing a yellow and white flowered bathing suit, the straps were tied with bows as so was the bottom, on the side of her hip. Frills at the top that would move slightly as the wind blew.
"Good thing I came prepared"
She says with a smile as a wave crashed over the rock she was on. (It was small lol)
Elijah decided not to interrupt the girls time, so he sat back down at his chair picking up the rose that he left on the desk once again.
"Well, if Harleys free….i wouldn't mind takin her off of your hands"
One said with a wink as Elijah laughed.
"What? You think she's too out of my league?"
He says looking at the window at her, then back at Elijah.
"She's gay dude"
Eli has trying not to laugh even more.
"WHAT!!!??? NO WAY!"
He says wide-eyed.
"Yeah….shes talked about liking girls every now and then and so ink inda picked that up, and when I finally asked her if she did like girls she was like " yeah what of it""
Elijah says mimicking Harley, putting his hands of his hips and flipping his hair.
"Aw man…"
He says sitting down on an extra wooden chair.
Penelope nodded and smiled. She wasn't the biggest fan of getting all the way in the water, but she did enjoy it a bit. After a bit though, she stepped back onto the dry sand, burying her feet in it. She wished Eli was there, she was eager to see him in the flower shop actually.
group
Looking over at her, she tries to read her expression, which she was actually quite good at, unlike Eli who SUCKED.
"Hey, you wanna go visit Eli? He's not far at all"
She says pointing to the flower shop in the distance, it looked small from here, which it was, but that made it seem farther than it actually was.
Penelope looked where Harley pointed. "Only if you don't mind… it's really cute from here and small… like me." She said with a giggle while shifting her gaze to Harley.
group
"You got that right"
She mumbles to herself as she grabs her clothes, jumping off of the rocks and stepping over to Penelope.
"Well then….lets go"
She says with a smile as she rung out the ends of her hair. Only the ends got wet.
"Okay! Can we just follow the coast to get there?" Penelope asked as she grabbed her shoes. She tucked some of her hair behind her ears since it was going in her face.
group
"Yeah"
She says pulling her hair over her shoulder, trying to air it out.
Penelope smiled and nodded a little. She started slowly making her way down the coast, after a bit getting lost in her own world.
group
Arriving a the flower shop, every now and then Harley looked over to Penelope who was too frikin adorable for her to handle.
"Here we are!"
She says looking at the flower shop with her hands on her hips, still managing to keep a hold of her clothes.
Penelope came from behind Harley right next to her. "Hello, Eli!" She said with a smile, then she noticed his friends gathered around him by the counter.
group
"Oh! Hello!"
He says as his posture straightens and his friends playfully roughly his hair as he tried to walk over to the girls.
"Hey, Dude!"
His friend says to Harley as Eli talks to Penelope.
"Call me dude one more time and you lose your pride"
She glares at him, though followed with a smirk, then laughing a bit punching his arm.
"Hey man, I was joking. Don't take it so seriously"
She says with a laugh.
"Oh! Haha, um okay"
He says trying to laugh it off. He thought he was about to die just then.
"What're you guys doing here?"
Eli asks Penelope with a smile.
