My Star🌟

Chapter 3

When Penelope finally landed, she couldn't really understand where she was or what just happened. But she knew one thing, she was no longer glowing.

She couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at her body that didn't shine as it would normally do at night. Then, she realised something. She was naked.

She tried covering with her hands, but that wasn't enough. She needed to find some kind of fabric. But how? She knew no one and had no money.

As she looked around, still covering herself, she noticed that she was in the middle of a forest. She started walking, at the hope of finding someone kind that could help her.

As she started walking towards a light that came from somewhere near, she realised that it was a street light. She was in the middle of a park.

Penelope was scared. She was naked, not shining, not knowing in which part of the universe she was, in the middle of a damn park!

As the desperation started to raise, she spotted a man sitting down on a bench, wearing headphones. She hoped that he would be a nice man that could help her.

"Excuse me" she asks as she tapped his shoulder slightly.

He turns around to she a naked woman, covering herself with her hands, as she looked at him with hope, as her eyes are shining out of incoming tears.

He thinks of the worst case scenarios as he thought she was raped or something.

He quickly takes off his jacket and places it on the woman's shoulders.

"What are you doing here alone, looking like this?" he asks nervously.

The woman doesn't answer. After sometime, she finally speaks.

"Do you have any spare clothes?" she asks with a gentle voice, making the man melt.

He thinks for a second before answering.

"No, but if you can wait, I will go get you some" he says.

"That would be really nice, thank you". she says, as a tear rolled down her now redden cheek.

"Here" the man says, extending his arm to give her the clothes.

"They might be a little big as they are mine"

"It doesn't matter, still thank you" the woman replies, as she puts on a pair of pants.

"I'm Penelope" she continues as she turns around to put the sweater.

"I'm Phillip" he says, extending his hand in an attempt to make handshake.

Penelope gladly takes his hand and shakes it.

"I'll get going now" said Phillip

"Okay, goodbye, and thank you again. I hope we meet again"

He waved in reply, as he turned around to leave.

"Oh, by the way" the woman says, making the man turn back to her.

"Where are we?" she asks

The man looks at her surprised, before finally replying.

"We are at America, Los Angeles"

Penelope walked down the street, looking for a suitable place to work, as she needed money to survive.

She knew that on earth, people had to work to get money and live. Hence, she had to find a job, quickly, as she didn't want to sleep on the street.

She passed by a shop, that had a piece of paper glued to the entrance door. Penelope walked closer, to take a look at what the paper said.
