(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.
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.
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?"
"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.
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.
"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…!"
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!!!!"
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.
Penelope essentially leaped into the car. She couldn't help feeling a guilty, after all, she suggested going out and hanging out, the three of them. This time she didn't look out the window she lied on the backseat, worried and thinking about the worst possible scenarios.
Driving up to his house, motioning for Penelope to come as he realized the house wasnt on fire.
She sat up and she let out a huge breath of relief. Her body visibly relaxed as she got out of the car. She went inside and slowly approached the oven. Afraid of the result, she slowly opened the oven. As she saw what actually happened, she burst out into laughter.
Harley decided to stay in the car as they…did whatever they were doing.
"W-what?"
Elijah asks slowly walking up to it.
Still laughing Penelope pointed to the oven, sitting there was an uncooked pie. "I… we didn't turn in the oven!" She managed to say that in between laughs.
Slumping down on the ground as he looked at the pie, letting out a grin as he was trying to catch his breath.
"Wow….i am an absolute…idiot"
He says as he looks up at the girl hysterically laughing.
She finally calmed down a little. "But I'm so glad!" She looks over at Elijah on the ground and a smile crept across her face. "Maybe we should actually turn on the oven and invite Harley inside?"
"Yeah?"
He stands up, closing the oven door and actually turning it on this time.
"I can go get her, although….i thought you were taking a nap…after being a statue in not surprised though."
He mumbles the last part to himself.
She looks up for a second remembering that she said that. "Well, I'm actually not tired right now! I'll set a timer so we don't over-cook the pie while you go get Harley." Penelope starts looking around the kitchen for a timer, not knowing that ovens nowadays have timers built into them.
"The oven has a timer to alarm you when it's done"
He says ruffling her hair with a smile.
