Lady Penelope has been away for days now.
Parker is looking after me.
Penelope’s been on a mission for International Rescue.
She’s been away for six weeks now.
I’ve been worrying whether she’d be alright.
“Don’t worry, me little lady, she’ll be fine!”
That’s what Parker always says to me.
She’s due to return by the seventh week.
Parker has helped me cope all these six weeks.
Now the seventh week has come.
Penelope’s coming home!
During my playdate with Muffin and Socks, I announce the news.
“PENELOPE’S COMING HOME!!”
Uncle Stripe cheers, and Muffin and Socks hug me.
Throughout the day, I do some painting.
I share ice cream with Muffin.
I play Horsey Ride with Uncle Stripe.
I dance with Aunt Trixie and Socks to country music.
And by the end of the day, who should pull up outside?
“LADY PENELOPE!” I scream.
I run into her arms, tears streaming down my face.
“I miss you so much, Penny.”
“I miss you too, darling.”
Uncle Stripe is actually crying right now.
“Don’t worry, Stripe, everything’s fine.”
“Moments like these make me want to…”
But then Uncle Stripe loses it and cries loudly.
Lady Penelope and I laugh.
“Come on, miladies, let’s go home.”
“HOMEWARD!” I shout.
And off we head at last back home.
