Here we go. = = = = = Once upon a time a large, hairy, pink __#|elephant__ was running full speed down the long winding highway. Her name was Penelope, and she had just come from a ballet performance, where she danced the leading role better than any elephant had before. Penelope was wearing a beautiful flowing, silky, multicolored tutu, which rippled in the strong breeze like an American flag high upon a #|flagpole. She ran as though her life depended on it, because, unbelievably enough, it did. AB You see, after Penelope had swept away the competition with her amazing routine, a group of people called "The bad boys" had told her that since she had ruined their carrier, she had to give them something that she had never heard about called "the dancers jewel" in one week, or they'd take her to a far away island were she would never find her way home and would be stranded forever. ID And then the Bad Boys also said that if penelope does not get the dancers jewel they would send her family far far away into the desert space and they would never be able to see penelope ever again!So the next day penelope grabbed her stuff and headed out to find the dancers jewel so that way she would be able to be with her parents forever.3 months later she returned with the dancers jewel but the Bad Boys had moved out of town and taken her family and parents with them.The next day penelope stole a car and did not have a licence to drive she drove all the way till she could find out where her family and parents are.Onew day she found out where they were so she hopped back into the car and drove to the place where her parents and family where THE END = = OR IS IT.............BN =  No, it is not the end because Penelope's __#|phone__ with a graceful ballerina on it began to ring. The caller identification showed up that read, "Unknown". "Hello?" she asked. "Yeah, you know who it is. Now we have a proposal for you. The only way your parents will remain alive is you must pay us 50,000 dollars and give us your special Dancers Jewel. If not, you know what happens." "What? I can't do that!" Penelope replied in disappointment. "You know the deal. Actually, you run out of town and be never seen again and no one finds out about it. Then, your family will be dumped off at the back of your dance place, Shoes ]] Ballet." "Okay, where do I send the money to?" "I'll meet you in a half hour." Click, end of conversation. Penelope was devastated and didn't know where she would find fifty grand. Her Dancers Jewel was her grandfather's and had a lot of sentimental value to her, which also had #|money value as well in addition to that. Her facial expressions were like puddles after a torrential rain storm. DB

 And then she was thinking in her head of ideas she would get the fifty grand. She thought in her head"M aybe I can bet money on a pool game and __#|win a__ hole bunch of times and eventually get $50,000" Then she thought that was a stupid idea. She thought it was as stupid as a cow doing push-ups. But we all know that cows are too fat and chunky to do that. So she thought about robbing a bank. She she thought o her self"that was a brilliant idea" She was so joyful at that moment then she thought well how am I going to do it. At that moment she was picturing her in a bank and they were making money angles in the beautiful money. And she thought "why don't I ask them nicely for $50,000 and mayby they will give it to me" So she stuck with that but she went in the bank in and FBI costume and said to the lady I need $50,000 for military purpose please" And the lady said here you go. And Penelope leapped in her car and drove off. JO. As Penelope was in her shiny pink Volkswagen, she took off her FBI costume. But, she didn't notice that next to her in the black uncover police car. Penelope got pulled over. "Hands up where I can see them," screamed a police cheetah. "I mean no harm, sir," Penelope replied back. The cheetah took the 50 grand and left. When the police cheetah was leaving with the money, he dropped the Dancer Jewel. She picked up the sparkly purple Dancer Jewel and starred at it in fright. "All I need now is $50,000." Penelope shook her head in disgrace. //Boing!// A lightbulb popped above Penelope's head. "I know where to get $50,000," Penelope screamed inside her head. SG = After that the beautiful Penelope went across Shadow lane to Carrol's Creamery to get her favorite Peanut Crunch ice cream. When she walked in she said,"Ohh my it smeels as sweet as a candy factory in here." She got her ice cream and sat down on a bench in Eagle Park. "It is as cold as a freezer," Penelope said. She ate her ice cream and said "Mmmmmmmm, this is as good as a piece of penut pie." Then Penelope picked up her silky,gorgius, blue purse and walked over to a taxi. She hopped the yellow taxi that was as bright as the shining sun. "Take me to 118 Walker Avenue please" said Penelope. "Certainlly miss" the driver in the black suit said. "Sir you are as quiet as a mouse," Penelope said in a deep voice. "118 Walker Avenue" the driver yelled loudly. "Thanks sir" Penelope said as she gave the money and walked up the driveway to here big,bright,beautiful,blue mansion. Penelope walked in the door got into her pink,puffy,perfect pajamas and feel into a deep sleep.MC. When she finally awoke the next morning, she pulled on her silky pink skirt, and pink ruffly shirt, and raced down the stairs and out the door. She hailed a cab and told the driver she needed to go to the nearest park possible. At the park, she walked onto a big, blue boat and sailed all the way to a island, where she searched and searched for her frightend loved ones. EF After Penelope arrived at the tiny island, she kept thinking in the other direction from searching. Instead of searching, try earning the money and have people donate. By the end she surley would have enough money if many weathly people support her in her tiring, hectic and unknowable quest. Penelope set up a little stand much like a lemonade stand except it said "Donate For A Cause". A.R.M. The donation didn't go so well only seven elaphants donated and she only had $7 she thought " I'll never get the moeny in time at this rate " so she did somthing crazy. Penelope went to every store in town and searched the entire floor for coins and surprizingly Penelope was reciving more moeny this way so she started to count the moeny. When she was finished Penelope nearly fainted she only had $3 left to get "that should be easy" she said.PB But she no had no luck in finding 3 more dollars,in fact all shae found was 1 dollar.So she thought to her self "think think think.".Then,Tink! She had an Idea,her fathers sercret box!But that was in the basement of their home,deep,dark,scary. but I have no choice she thought.She she ventured down into the deep,dark,basement.But as she was just reaching the bottem step,she heard a horrible growling noise.TB/LL. Hello Penelope shouted with her voice shaking; actually her whole body was shaking. "Anybody here?", she said softly. No one answered. Penelope felt so much better knowing that nobody was there, so now with the burst of comfort she screamed, "I'm batman!!". Penelope found an old, dirty, black rag and tied it around her neck like a cape. She ran around the basement like a psyhco bird about to fly into a window but instead she raced into a wall.To her surprise the wall opened revealing Picklestick her dog barking into a tuba. Well then, that explains the growling she thought. Penelope asked Picklestick where she had been. Picklestick told her she was chasing an easter egg last year when she bumped into the wall. SPLAT the wall opened so she walked inside and the wall closed behind her and she was trapped!!! "Sorry Pickles", Penelope said, "but right now I really need to find the secret box my dad kept." "I know exacly where that is", Picklestick said sweetly, "Follow me." Once we found and opened the box we figured out that the money was only valid in SnoodleDoodle land which doesn't exist. Suddenly we heard a creaking of the stairs, the bad boys were coming!!!BH So when the bad boys were coming Penelope decided to hide.Where should I hide? Penelope thought in her head so since it was really dark she hid in a corner but she did not notice that near that corner was a trashcan.Well this was not such a smart idea hiding near a trash she thought.So when he Bad Boys came down the stairs ..slowly... and quietly.Then she knocked the disgusting smelly trashcan over and the bad boys turned the dusty light on. Penelope finely sees the bad boys familiar faces. It turns out that the mean bad boys are Penelope's evil older brothers.Once Penelope saw her brothers old tattered disgusting faces she started to run after that horrible grin on their faces she was running like a cheetah until she fell.....poor Penelope she was now surrounded by the bad boys...give us the dancers jewel and the money you promised us or else they go bye bye. he pointed to two figures and the took the bag of their head and there stood Penelope's dirty,tired parents.C.D. "It is my mouth. I ate so no one could ever get." said Penelope. "Then will just have to cut you open." said one of the bad boys. "But we have anything boss." said another bad boy. As soon as Penelope ran upstairs as fast as a car. she got on her karate outfit and started to do all these different kinds of kicks."My teacher say I have the best kick in the class" said Penelope, "What do you that" "He right about that" said a bad boy knocked out. "O'yeah" shouted Penelope. Then she heard a little noise. She went outside, right when she called 911. Then outside she looked in the bad boys car. Right there in the back seat was her parents tied up. As quick as a bull chasing after something red Penelope opened the door. Lucky the doors were locked. She untied her parents. The the cops showed up to take the bad boys to jail. And they all lived happily ever after. Wait the bad boys escaped jail.NT The Bad boys were so clever they can go through anything just like a cat. Now they are after Penelope! "Penelope I never got the dancers jewel or fifty thousand dollars"said the bad boys. Penelope thought that they were gone and she got rid of everything. "where is the stuff" the bad boys said. "Uhh I thought I didn't need it" Penelope said very worried. "well you better get it or else your parents go bye bye." Penelope was so worried that she didn't even think she just ran out the door as fast as a cheetah. But it turns out that the bad boys were still in jail and paid their friends to trick me but what happens when they get out?TM later that evening Penelope found out that the bad boys had just gotten out of jail so at the first step of her door she left the dancer jewel and the fifty thousand dollars. So that night when the bad boys showed up at the door they had every thing they needed.when they found out were Penelope was they called her up and said "meet us at the old abandon cookie factory = = so you can get your parents back". Once Penelope arrived at the creepy old abandon cookie factory she yelled at the top of her lungs "I'm Here!!!!!!" The bad boy came out of a dark corner and pushed her towards her. Then in secret code Penelope "called the police and they took the bad boys to jail.GBH = Penelope was so happy to see that those the bad boys were in jail.Also she was just glad to have her parents.They looked so tired and dirty.They smelled bad as rotten cheese in the sun."Thats a foul funny funky smell" said Penelope.When they finally got home a sudden ring came to Penelope's ears.It was the phone."Hello?" said Penelope "It's us,the bad boys and we can't wait to get out of this rotten,rusty jail." said the bad boys.Penelope gasped and made sure her parents were right beside her.This is gonna get __EVIL!__  TO BE CONTINUED.BE
