Penelope smiles sweetly. "How about I skate around once or twice while you go get her?" As he loses his balance, she stabilizes him by grabbing both of his hands and holding them tightly.

"Oh…okay!"
He says with a smile, quickly kissing the top of her head, then quickly skating off before he could see her reaction.
"Hey, Harley, we're gonna go to the park wanna come?"
Eli says with a bright smile on his face, while losing his balance, making her laugh a little
"Oh….sure!"
She says through a laugh.
Penelope's eyes widen and her face turns bright red. She quickly starts skating around to cool her face off with a slight smile appearing on her face. To be completely honest, she was confused. She hadn't felt anything like this in a long long time, almost forgetting what this even was. To add to it, she had just met this guy today in one of the most strange circumstances.
Her face was still pretty red so she skated faster, it being her third lap around the rink since Eli left to talk to Harley.
group
Skating up to Penelope as Harley took off her skates, Eli started skating beside her with a smile waiting for her to notice.
"yoo hoo" (big summah blowooouut!)
He says skating beside her, trying his best not to lose his balance.
Penelope looked over just in time to see Eli right next to her. Thankfully, her face was mostly back to her normal skin tone. She had a huge smile seeing him skating so well by himself and she was laughing, but she grabbed his hand anyway. "Hello there! You ready to go?"
group
"Only if you are?"
He says tipping her hand as he looked up to the disco balls hanging from the ceiling.
She smiled. "I'm ready, let's go!" She glided to the edge, lightly pulling Eli. She sat down and took off her skates then putting them away.
group
Doing the same, his feet a little sore, he's actually never really skated before and he tried to play it off cool….he failed.
"You guys ready?"
"Of course!" Penelope went back to Eli's car. She waits for him to unlock it before getting in. Once again, she sat in the back, feeling bad for basically ditching Harley.
group
"oh, you can sit in the front if you would like?"
Harley says with a smile as she leans against his car.
Elijah walking out of the skating rink, waving bye to all of the workers, which he knew a surprising amount.
"hey! Ah sorry, i forgot to unlock it!"
He says digging around for his keys, then unlocking the car and hopping in the drivers seat.
"Are you sure? I feel bad for leaving you to skate alone when we all came to hang out with each other." Penelope smiled at Harley. "I don't mind sitting in the back."
group
"oh no its fine! I got to talk to my friend that I haven't seen in a while"
She says laughing a bit while opening the front door for Penelope.
"Okay, thank you so much!" She smiled at Harley and sat down in the front, putting on her seat belt. After Harley closed the door, Penelope stared out the window, for the third time.
group
Sitting down in the back, humming a song to herself, as Eli started up the car and started driving, rolling down his windows letting his curly blonde hair blow out of his face.
When the window rolled down, Penelope smiled. She loved the feeling of wind in her hair. She stuck her hand out a little to feel the air outside.
group
looking to the side, smiling at how adorable she was.
"having fun?"
Penelope looked back at Eli with a huge smile. "Of course!" She leaned her head back on the car seat and closed her eyes to, her hand still out the window. She opened her eyes to look out the window more.
group
Passing the mountains and having an overview of the ocean as they seemed to be colliding together as they drove. Clouds encircling the top of the mountains as waves big and small lapped at the sand, dragging bit by bit with it as it went.
"Here we are!"
Elijah smiles as they pull up to the park. It was exactly how he described it, just…prettier.
Through the whole drive, Penelope was looking out the window, almost like she hadn't ever seen that kind of view before. But she actually hadn't. She was limited to the town of Collage Hill and no pictures of anything outside of it.
"Oh my gosh… this is beautiful!" She stepped out of the car and took a deep breath. Her eyes were basically sparkling while looking at the landscape. This was already ten times better than the skating rink.
group
Stepping out of the car, there was a ring of colorful trees with a stream surrounding it, a water fall in the middle.
Birds and ducks (which are also birds but whatever) flying and walking around the park. Picnic tables in the center while rocks surrounded the water fall. This was by far his favorite place to go other than the mountains.
She was almost stuck in place while looking at the beauty of the park. She had a smile on her face. There was a light breeze providing the perfect temperature. She turned around and looked at Elijah, still with a smile. "Let's go!"
group
"yeah, theres a trail that we can walk on into the woods which is really cool!"
He says grabbing her hand. Harley stepped out of the car, pulling her hair up into a ponytail.
hopefully me and her could be friends
She thought to herself as she took in the surrounding.
Penelope glances up and Eli as he took her hand, she grabs his hand as well. "That sounds amazing! Harley, have you been here before?" She says to Harley while looking over to her. Penelope should probably get to know her if she was going to stay with Harley.
group
"what? oh, yeah , only about twice though….."
She says walking up to the two with a smile.
"Nice! I haven't been out of the town before, so I've only ever seen buildings, street, and lots of people… and no one has ever shown me pictures." Looking around again, she smiled. "This is like nothing I've ever seen before!"
group
"Yeah it's pretty amazing"
Harley says looking around with her hands in her pockets as they walk.
Who knew something as simple as walking on a path in the woods would bring Penelope so much happiness. She could easily be mistaken for a child at an amusement park. "How long have you known about this place?" She asked to no one in particular.
group
"Well, i grew up here, so ever since it existed. It used to be all flat ya know."
Elijah smiled at her as he stepped on a stick, snapping it in three.
"I just moved here five years ago, but i found out about it two years ago"
Harley says as she hums to herself.
"That's awesome! I think I was born here, but I'm honestly not sure… it's been a while." She saw a tree with flowers on it. She let go of Eli's hand and went over to smell it. Penelope loves the smell of flowers, there was something almost comforting about the smell.
group
"oh darn….thats gorgeous."
He says as he steps away taking in the view.
"I need to go get my camera"
He says as he quickly runs to his car.
"hes a photographer….. you don't mind if he takes a picture though..right? You are gorgeous, but he can get carried away sometimes."
Harley says with a little laugh.
