Penny thought about that for a second and got a vision of a spry elderly woman beating on the door with a rolling pin demanding entrance and then whacking Mr. Marko or Prof. Xavier over the head for taking too long. Oh God that would be her at that age…. That caused Penny to go into a fit of giggles. ”I’d love to see that.” Then she proceeded to tell Ben the image that she had just had.
There was a look of ‘yeah right’ on her face when he suggested that possibility. ”I don’t think I’m allowed in there anymore.” She couldn’t remember if it was just for a week or for life that she was banned from the science lab. ”We’ll have to sneak into the kitchen after hours. I’m not allowed in there when the staff is there. Something about I keep correcting how they make things. They don’t like that too much.” She shrugged and sipped her drink. ”Honestly, I really don’t mind so if you ever need any help with it, feel free to drop it by.” Penny had no problems helping out a fellow student. ”I’ll watch most anything. I love comedies and big explosion movies. The higher the PD’s insurance premium the more I like the movie.” She grinned at him and even winked. The girl was starting to relax and even feeling like her old self around him. Still the same sweet Sunshine only a bit flirtier.
A best friend was something else Penny didn’t have but she didn’t really let that bother her that’s why she had so many hobbies to keep her occupied. Although his description made her giggle again. When he asked for the snack she got up and headed to a cabinet she found for cheap and refinished. She then proceeded to pull out bags of homemade chips [potato and tortilla], homemade twinkies and cupcakes. Then she went to fridge and got the salsa and dip. The bags of chips hanging precariously between her teeth as she made her way over to him. She nodded when he mentioned working on her small talk, not that she could at the moment.

He shook his head slowly as he looked over at Sunny. "Almost true to life, it wouldn't be a rolling pin. She be coming with her cast iron skillet, of course it would be hidden in her purse so no one knows what to expect right off the get go." He chuckled and started to laugh honestly thinking about his aunt. Looking over at her, he winked. "I'm in pretty good with the Chemistry Teacher, I'll get you back in as long as you don't mind being my partner."
He was really getting into this whole talking thing. Seemed to work pretty good over all. Oh yeah those cop movies are great. Specially when a toilet goes boom." he chuckled thinking about when he watched that movie for the first time. "Can I ask you a question? Ever stop and wonder why didn't I take the other pill?" He looked over at her and part of him was joking, but part of him was serious.
Jumping up he was smiling as he grabbed the bags of chips from her teeth and took the salsa out of her hands. "You know I was partially teasing about all the party foods, but I ain't going to argue either." he winked at her as he helped her set it up. This was so cool, he was liking the Institute more and more every day. "You know we really should hang out more."

”Oh I’d love to have a cast iron set. She really has one?” The girl was exceptionally easy to please when it came to presents. She could be given a Bedazzle set and nearly fall into tears. But then she never really had gotten anything before so yeah really easy to please. A cookbook that she doesn’t have or a pattern would probably get someone bear hugged. But then that was Penny. The thought really did count where she was concerned. Brown eyes widened. ” You really think you could? Of course I wouldn’t mind as long as you can deal with being stuck with me.” Oh she hoped he didn’t drag his GPA down.
”Wasn’t the toilet one of the Lethal Weapons?” She was pretty sure it was the second one. She turned to look at him. ”Because it wasn’t offered.” She shrugged a bit. ”Besides as much as I hate it, I wouldn’t be me without it so I wouldn’t have taken the other pill anyway.” Penny grinned at him then and stuck out her tongue. It was nice just sitting back and talking with someone. She’d almost forgotten how and that didn’t sit well with her.
Penny worked her jaw when he took the chips. ”Thanks.” Eyes widened and she gave a mock gasp. ”Never tease about the food. You can’t talk movies without the snacks. Food is sacred.” She went all dramatic with her little spiel and then sat down giggling as she placed the other stuff on the cheap little coffee table she refinished. ”Maybe a movie night?” She was a little unsure when she asked the question and that came across in her tone. She thought it’d be a blast but she wasn’t sure if he just meant chitchatting or actually really hanging out and throwing popcorn at the bad guys with heave accents.

Snapping his fingers he smiled. "Sounds like a great idea. How about Friday nights to save us from all the school stuff. We meet up and just have a movie night." He had a thought hit him and he grinned. "I'll be right back." He took off and actually used his webbing like a zip line to fly down to his room. Slipping in he grabbed something from his desk before heading back at full speed. "Told ya I'd be right back. Here this is for you." He hands her an old oak box filled with little hand written cards. "Don't worry, I can get a copy anytime I want one, but she would be happy that you had it." he chuckled as he sat down and popped a chip and salsa. "Dang that is good." He leaned back and chuckled a bit as he sipped from his soda.
He thought about it for a minute and nodded his head when it came to the other pill. She had a point so he wasn't going to really push that line of thought much. "We so gotta go out over the weekend, I know downtown like the back of my hand. At least I better I'm a native."

Penny fairly beamed when he was actually going to make it an on going thing. "Oh that sounds good. I like that. You sure you won't mind?" He was a really cute guy so she wasn't so sure tying up his Friday nights would be overly fair to him. But she wasn't going to argue for as long as they keep this going. She watched as he took off and sat back a bit. She was half surprised when he came back and she blinked at the box. Her eyes widened as if he'd just given her the Hope diamond or the Holy Grail. Her hand slid along the top of the box and she opened as if opening a prized treasure. So many recipes. "Oh Ben, I could kiss you." She wasn't even looking at him. It was real honest to goodness recipe box. Like handed down from generations recipe box. "I couldn't... This is like an heirloom" But oh she so wanted to.
Finally she blinked over at him and she wasn't quite sure if she was really going to kiss him or cry. "Alright. Um I don't really know it that well, just like Central park and few places close by is all I really know. I'm saving up to buy a T.V. and dvd player. Cheaper in the long run than the three hundred bucks for a movie ticket and a piece of popcorn."

He winked and chuckled. "Yes you can, and you will. My Aunt May will want it in the hands of a person who can do something with that box. Not in my deaf hands." He chuckled a bit as he looked over at her and just shook his head. Thinking about it he holds up a finger snags a chip and takes off again. Coming back with a 32" TV and a Blueray player under his arm. Kinda glad he could stick to just about anything made doing stuff like this a breeze. "Guy threw them out, and I took them and fixed them. I don't need them so you can have them." He put the stuff down and handed her the remotes as he went to go hooking up the wires. "Don't worry I got a whole crud load of BlueRay discs back in my room."
He hoped she didn't start to cry, cause he wasn't sure if he could handle it if she did. He was really thinking about taking her with him next weekend when he went home to visit his family. Aunt May would love it if he brought a friend home, which worked for him cause so far he liked spending time with Sunny.

The girl was just stunned she had to take a couple of breaths to calm herself down. But she didn't cry for which she was thankful. She got up and put the box on the shel with her other cookbooks and then came back over. She blushed a bit and then kissed his cheek. Sure it was just a kiss on the cheek but it was like planting one on him from any other girl. "Thank you, I'll take good care of it." She blushed again when she stepped back and he once again took off. She had just sat down when he came back with the T.V. and blue ray player. She figured he was just going to bring it over so they could watch movies.
Penny looked at him like he'd lost his mind. "Ben I can't, I mean even if it was a fixer upper... I mean I can't.... It's just too much... You're going to make me." She couldn't help it she wrapped her arms around him in a hug and then kissed his cheek again.

He grinned as she kissed his cheek....twice. Yeah he was having fun with this and it made him feel good to do nice things for people. "It was free with repairs, don't worry about it." He chuckled as he sat back after getting everything plugged up. "I brought over some of my movies, lets find one to watch for now." He chuckled a bit as he leaned back and wanted to see the look on her face. This is how friends should be just helping people for no other reason than he could.
"Sunny sit down pick a movie, and stop fretting about things." he chuckled as he took the a big bite out of the salsa, he thought about things and wondered what would happen if he got used to living like this. Not that he would, but what if he did?

It still floored her and she couldn’t help but grin. ”Still it’s really nice of you.” It was so weird being on the other end of things. Penny curled back up in the chair and started looking through the movies. ”You like Robin Hood Men in Tights?” She loved that movie it always made her laugh. Brown eyes were bright and there was a huge smile on her face as she looked through them. ”Oh oh.. Rush Hour… “ She started chewing her bottom lip trying to decide.
The girl kept flipping through the movies. She loved pretty much all of them and was having a hard time to decide. She dipped a chip in the French onion dip and finally decided on Men in Tights. ”This one.” She looked up at him and grinned. ”Very few can touch Mel Brooks when it comes to comedy.” She wasn’t going to push her luck that they’d watch more than one. But now she had something to make more money for, to get more movies.

He looked over at her and wanted to laugh a bit. "How about we just have a marathon? See how many we can put under tonight. Oh and just to let you know my taste runs from the funny to the weird and the educational to the what the hell? So yeah I even got Master's of the Universe on Blue-ray in there." He chuckled a bit as he sat down, and didn't have any arguments about Mel. "You got me there, I can't really find one of his movies that wasn't at least funny if not side splitting." He chuckled as he leaned back and popped a chip before getting them another drink each.
He was even nice enough not to take the remotes from her as she was figuring them out. That was a fight he just wanted to snatch them and turn on the movie, but that's what happens to a tech nut when dealing with someone who just got new toys. Plus, he was having fun watching her trying to get it all running. In the end he figured that she would either ask or get the movie started. Then he heard the opening notes and chuckled, looks like she would just get it started without him. Cool, this was going to be a good day after all.

Penny looked over at him and grinned. ”A marathon sounds good.” Oh this was going to be fun and it was something she’d never done before. ”I’ll try to watch anything once but I can’t promise not to fall asleep during the boring stuff. Masters of the Universe? We definitely need to watch that one.” She grinned as she studied the remote controls. They would not defeat her! She flashed him a grin at his comment about Mel Brooks. ”Definitely the King of Comedy.”
Finally! She got the remotes figured out and she just hoped that she’d remember the intricate and advanced combinations of buttons in order to get it to work again. Translation: She needed to remember to hit DVD or TV first. Sunny sat back and grinned over at him and then ran and grabbed two more drinks. ”Let the marathon begin.” Maybe she should make popcorn.

"Sweet" Kicking back he sipped from his drink and ate a few treats while watching the first movie. He noticed the girl seemed to crave company, and he couldn't blame her. So far it had been a bit boring since he first arrived here." He looked around the room again and got a feeling for the person and had the funny feeling she aimed to please other's way too much. Thinking about it he could understand that on so many levels. As the movie finished he chuckled. "Well, throw in the next one, you mind if I use your rest room really quick?" He stood there waiting for her answer in case there was a problem with that.
He looked over at her and smiled a bit she seemed to wide eyed he really was having fun so he thought it might be good that he made friends with her already.

Penny grinned at him and then watched the movie. She couldn’t help but laugh at most of it, but then Mel Brooks was a comedy god. She let out a small breath as the movie ended. ”I don’t have a room with a private bath. Sorry, it’s a pain in the middle of the night, so yeah be careful, I’ve ended up in the boys room on occasion.” She started looking through the movies again and picked out Blazing Saddles may as well have a Mel Brooks marathon, or at least three Mel Brooks and on to Monty Python. Oh maybe Monty Python… No Mel Brooks.
Brown eyes looked up and she grinned at him. ”Mel Brooks than Monty Python, if we are still awake or you are up for it. Oh just let me know when you are ready for real food, I should be able to sneak into the kitchen any time now.”

Nodding his head he moved off to the bathroom and chuckled a bit as he came back to hear her mention Mel or Monty. "Hell, lets do it as far as I'm concerned either one is golden. Hey, why don't we do this, let me order in some pizzas that way neither of us have to miss a beat." he pulled out his cellphone and waited for her approval of the idea. "Come on your pick of toppings." He chuckled as he dropped onto the couch again, this girl was a blast to hang out with. Which was something he had to admit wasn't one of the things he was used to. Nine times out of ten the girls he knew never gave him the time of day or where even interested in talking to him for three minutes. That is until it was time to pick lab partners in Science class, then he was the most popular guy period.

Penny looked up and grinned at him. He really meant it they were going to hang out for the night. ”Pizzas sound awesome. I love pretty much any toppings accept anchovies. Want to pause then until they get here since we’ll have to go down and get them anyway? We could take a bit of a break to prep for the marathon, stretch our legs on down stairs.” She was so happy it wasn’t even funny but she wasn’t on the edge of psychotic with it. That kind of surprised her and she was happy she wasn’t clinging to him just because he paid attention to her. That was a good sign at least she hoped it was. But Ben was fun and he seemed like a really great guy and she could easily see them becoming close friends. Although she doesn’t realize he tends to get picked on which won’t be too good for those she caught doing it. The girl had a protective streak and a rolling pin.
