"What?… Oh yeah, no, I don't mind at all!" She smiled at the compliment. Penelope gently picks one of the flowers and holds it. The flower was a light blue, greatly contrasting with the dark red of her hair. The flower in her hands triggered a memory, she wasn't sure what it really was, but it brought her peacefulness.

Running back with a big, obviously expesnice camera, staring in awe as he puts his hand over his chest and let out a puff of air.
"okay, dont forget to breathe lover boy"
Harley says with a laugh as Elijah caught his breath finally.
"um….hold that..right there"
He says snapping back to reality, setting up the camera frantically.
"Woah! That's a really nice camera!" Her eyes were a bit bigger and a smile was on her face, in awe of the camera. She stayed in place as instructed though.
group
Sure to get a picture of her heart-melting smile, then of her looking at the flowers,

He lets out a big smile as he takes a few pictures. The light-reflecting perfectly along her hair and her eyes, she made the bright flower seem like a dead leaf with how much she outshined it.
"th-thanks"
"You're welcome! Do you want me to move so you can get some pictures of the tree?" This was one of the few moments where she like being the center of attention. She never was a fan of the spotlight, which is ironic since she was the main statue in the middle of town.
group
"Could you…..stand right in front of the tree please?"
He asks with a red face as he centered the camera.
"y-You dont have to at all if you dont want, but youre just…..i mean….. i love taking every picture i can get, i mean…..sorry"
He says looking at the ground in embarassment.
stupid
Penelope smiles at Eli and moves right in front of the tree, still holding the flower in her hands. At the perfect moment, the breeze picked up, blowing both her hair in her face and the flower out of her hands.
group
Snapping the picture, before, during, and after the breeze, it was beautifully perfect, and it was written all over his face.
"perfect….."
He says as he looks up at her from his camera as Harley looked away.
"Thats it…. you need to be a model or something…."
He says throwing his hands in the air dramatically with a slight laugh, then running his fingers through his blonde hair as he turns around looking at the mountains then back at her.
Rosy pink fills her cheeks at his comment. "Thanks!…" She says with a smile. "I mean, this is fun. So maybe I will!"
group
"Actually dont, nowadays its way to stressful…..for your sanity. I dated a model once, its not fun"
He says with a laugh, then moving the camera closer just by about half a foot, then walking up to her, picking a few flowers and gently putting them in her hair, he looked like he was incredibly focused, which he was.
"Hmm, okay!" When Eli got close and put flowers in Penelope's hair, once again, her cheeks filled with pink. She might as well get used to it, she blushes way too much. But, she was glad he was focused, hopefully, to focused to notice her pinkness.
group
"perfect"
He says stepping away as he seemed to form a flower crown. Stepping back to his camera again, noticing her red cheeks, it was just way to cute to not get a picture. Like a kitten.
She had a shy smile, which must be perfect for Eli. Penelope moved around a little (Lol idk how to model) trying to provide Elijah with more pictures.
group
"okay, sorry im probably making you unconfortable, we can start walking"
He says putting up the camera stand, hanging the camera around his neck as he compacted the stand into a block.
"No no, it's okay! You weren't at all. But walking is a good idea." She happily kept the flower crown in her hair and looked over to Harley. "Hey Harley, if I'm going to stay with you, I should probably get to know better, right?"
(omg lol I just remembered that they put pie in the oven)
group
(OH MY GOSH!!! wait…so his house doesn't burn down, what if he forgot to turn on the oven in the first place?)
"Oh? Yeah!"
She says walking up to them, looking at her cute flower crown as Elijah set the camera stand gently on the seat.
"so….do you like him?"
She says rather quietly to her with a big curious smile.
(Yeah that's a great idea lol!)
Her face had just cooled down, right when Harley asked that question and it, this time, turned red like a bad sunburn (lol). "I uh…" She bit her bottom lip again, as she tends to do when she's thinking. Looking around, hoping to find something to change the conversation, her lip started bleeding from biting too hard. She quickly hid her lip and smiled at Harley, trying to act like nothing was wrong.
group
Noticing her lip before she could hide it, she quickly stepped in front of her looking at her face.
"oh my gosh are you okay?!"
SHe says suddenly panicking at her bloody lip that she could no longer see thanks to her hiding it.
"Well…i don't expect you to have any feelings about him right now, ya know considering you just met him today."
She says, about to say the word soulmate, but it hurt her a little to even say it.
Penelope's eyes widened. "Oh yeah, I'm fine! Nothing is wrong." She honestly didn't know how she felt about Elijah. She needed to figure out everything before she could even answer that question. Penelope smiled and looked at Elijah who was almost done packing up his camera.
group
Standing up, banging his head on the car ceiling
"ow!"
He says as he backs out then standing up, rubbing the back of his head.
"okay! Im done! Sorry it took so long"
He says still touching the back of his head as he walked over to the girls.
"Oh, it's okay! Harley and I got to talk a little." Penelope smiles, still making sure no one can see the bite on her lip. "So, are we going to keep walking? Or something else?"
group
"hmmm well we came here to walk so lets go!"
He says as he awkwardly puts his hands in his pockets, like a cute little kid.
He was really happy that she and Harley got along.
"Sounds good to me!" Penelope linked her arm around Harley's then the other around Elijah's. Like a little kid or three best friends, you choose. She was really enjoying it.
group
Harley laughing a bit as she linked arms with eachothers,
"so….did you go to school at all?"
Elijah says walking beside the girls, trying his hardest to match their pace.
Penelope frowned a little. "I guess you could say so… I mean I was in regular school throughout elementary school, then… they took me somewhere and they taught me what I needed to know for each year after, basically homeschool… but not at home." She looked down for a second then took a breath and looked back up with a smile.
group
"oh, do you like amusement parks? Like….rides, rollercoasters or Ferris wheels and stuff like that?"
Harley asks awkwardly, but noticing her tone of voice.
She takes a breath, thinking for a second, this time not biting her lip so she doesn't make it bleed more. "I'm not a huge fan of really big or fast rides, but some are fine and Ferris Wheels are fun. I remember loving them 30 years ago!" Penelope stopped in place, with her eyes very wide. "Um… Eli? Remember how we made pie? It's been a few hours since we put it in the oven…!"
group
Dropping his arms as he stared up to the sky as he heard her horrifying words.
"im…..i am doomed."
He says as his eyes looked at her filled with horror.
"um…..i like ferris wheels…yeah theyre fun….."
He says slowly turning away and looking back at his car, which was now a little ways away now.
She looks at him with an almost equal amount of horror. Without hesitation, she sprinted for the car. "COME ON!! WE NEED TO HURRY!!!!"
group
Harley sprinting there faster than even Elijah she hops in the car, slamming the door shut.
Still dazed, Elijah holds his camera so it doesn't bounce of of his chest. Stopping by the car
"WAIT, i need a picture real quick."
He says out of breath as he holds his camera up at the mountains and the sky, with the ocean and the trees matching perfectly. Snapping about three, he quickly gets in starting the car.
