Giving love a real chance

Miss mystic

Josie is awaiting her time to enter the spotlight as her name is announced, her escort MG is missing however she knew Penelope had something to do with that. Josie heard a familiar voice that only belonged to the obnoxious, self and evil hearted Penelope park.

"Wow Jojo"said by Penelope while admiring Josie's dress

"What are do you want" Josie's states as she tries hide how she really feels

"MG's missing I guess your stuck with me" Penelope's smirked while still admiring Josie

Josie rolls her eyes, however she was truly happy that MG was missing from the pageant.

Penelope slowly escorted Josie down the steps that a spotlight awaited them.

"You ready for our dance" Penelope said as she smirked.

"We won't be dancing Penelope" Josie said while avoiding eye contact with Penelope as she knew that she would be easily persuaded by just the smirk on Penelope's face.

Penelope was confused,
"Jojo what have you got planned" Penelope said with such regret as she didn't really want the answer.

"Jojo you deserve to walk down these steps with your head help high, just like your mum did"
Penelope meant every word she said, she forgets about Lizzy and Josie's urge to always fight Lizzie's battles.

Penelope's eye never left Josie, she saw the pouty face Josie can't control.

*miss Josette Saltzman escorted by miss Penelope Park*

The spotlight shines on the two of them, Josie's frozen,
"Jojo I'm here, just look at me" Penelope squeezes Josie's arm, Josie's eyes met Penelope's and Josie let's her mind go allowing Penelope's words mean something meaningful like they once did.

Josie smiled at Penelope, losing herself and allowing her to enjoy the misogynistic and archaic pageant. Penelope smiles and lets put a snap laugh.

Penelope slowly escorts her Josie down the stairs never taking her eyes off her, Penelope starts to see how free Josie has let herself be, until Josie locks eyes with Lizzy and Josie's snaps back to self destruct mode, locking eyes with Penelope Josie's shoots an apologetic glance at Penelope.

Penelope's POV
Josette Saltzman, you are amazingly stunning, if you do anything to ruin this moment you don't know yet but I'm going to have to leave you. I don't want this to be my last memory of you Josie, I love you so much but you will never see this until you love yourself and let yourself enjoy the things you want

The two stunning girls reach the last break before the last 3 steps, Josie is about to more then ruin her chance or competing.

"Jojo...please" Penelope lets out with a breath of air as he smile is slowly disappearing

Josie's POV
I have too do this for Lizzy, we've been fighting over nothing and this is how I'm going to make it right. I look at Penelope, my gosh she's beautiful, that black jumpsuit is so slimming and fitted and the cape makes her my superhero. Somehow she's always there when I'm in trouble or doubting myself, Penelope is somehow the reason I'm still some what myself.

I look at her and her smile is slowly shifting to a concerned look, I know she knows I'm about to destroy my chances and my image for Lizzy, everything is for Lizzy, why?, I have this amazing and beautiful girl in front of me somehow always there when I need her even when I say I hate her and I'm about to get again do any other humiliating thing for Lizzy.

Penelope shoots Josie with one last smile, Josie's takes a step forward and Penelope is shilling to let her fall, in the last minute before she fell, she locks eyes with her dad, he has the biggest smile on his face and you could tell he was so proud, Penelope locked eyes with Alaric and steps forward and tugs Josie's arm making Josie once again lock eyes with Penelope.

Josie's moment to "shine" was now missed she finds herself smiling and captivated by Penelope, they step on the floor and Josie and Penelope's eyes are yet to unlock.

They now stand proudly together awaiting the other contestants.
