"Simon you bloody idiot!" Penny yelled at me as she opened the door to her flat. Simon flinched back at the sheer volume of his best friend. Penny Bounce may be the quiet, bookworm type of girl, but never underestimate her ability to be loud. Simon thinks that it comes with being born into a big family. "I know, I know, tell me something else that I don't know Penn." Simon said as he walked into the flat after her. He closed the front door behind him since Penny just sort of walked off into the flat and left the door wide open. So, he took that as his cue to enter and hoped that she wouldn't go off on him again. After all, he was here for a specific reason. He needed her help to be able to carry out his plans of proposing to Baz. He just needed to tell Penny that was why he was here, and not that he broke the charm necklace that she had made for him to be able to hide his wings better. It was really a cool little thing in Simon's opinion. It allowed him the ability to retract his wings into his back at his own will. It meant no more cloaking spells that wore off, no more knocking people and things over anymore. Simon was ecstatic, he waited years for this to work, even though he had gotten the option to get them removed, but he chose not to. Why? He didn't know, maybe it was because he didn't want to get rid of the last thing that tied him to the Magick World? It doesn't really matter now though, what's done is done and now they have to move on.
But they were getting off topic here, Simon needed to focus. He went into the small flat that Penny shared with Shep and found her camped out in their kitchen. She was sitting on the barstool at the island. Simon walked into the room and pulled up a stool next to his best friend. Simon smiled to himself as he watched Penny typing on her laptop. She must have been working on a project of school or her Mum or something when he called. He's glad that she was able to put all of that stuff behind her that happened to them at Watford. And even though things with her and Micah didn't end well like she hoped it would, he's glad that Shep was able to step up where Micha failed. Penny deserved to be happy just like everyone else in the world if not more. Ever since they got back from their trip to the states, things have calmed down somewhat. Sure, they were in loads of trouble with the parents for sneaking off like that, but they weren't as mad as they thought they'd be. Minimum punishments were given out, but it was something that they all could live with. And they did end up having to help Penny's Mum put out a couple of fires at the school. And Baz was able to convince his Aunt Fiona to expand her vampire hunting crew around the world to try and put a stop to the Next Gen ones that were trying to take away magic from everyone. The council wasn't too happy to hear the news, but they were happy to know that all three of them had an idea of what to do and how to combat them. All, in all things ended up going pretty well for them all.
Another thing that happened after America, was that he and Baz were able to fix themselves. Penny was able to convince Baz to go and see Simon's old therapist, it inspired him to go back. In fact more often than not they would have group sessions with her and they even got Baz's father to come at one point. Though Simon wasn't really included in that one he was just there for moral support. That session didn't go as bad as he thought it would. Sitting outside the waiting room of the office, he didn't hear any screaming or anything of that sort. Though Baz did come out of their crying, but his father didn't seem to be upset with them. Baz and his father over the years that they have been together were able to try and patch up their relationship for the most part over the years. There are still some issues that they need to work on, but they've made wonders over the years that they've been trying really hard. And that was the reason that went to go see Malcolm earlier that day. Even though there's still tension between all three of them, he knew that it would kill Baz not to have his father there with him. He just had to ask him first. He was lucky that he got Malcom's blessing in the first place. He always thought that the man had out for him when they were kids, and he still isn't that fond of him, they can get along well enough now that it doesn't really matter anymore. At least to Simon it doesn't. He just wanted to marry the love of his life, was that too much to ask?
