Alone Again (Naturally)

The Girl is back in town

"So how did you pull this one ay Ray? " 

" Hello Luv, I don't believe we've met before." The new voice introduced as he turned on his charm,

" Don't recognise me? Do ya David?" Penelope spoke sarcastically,

"Am I supposed to?" The boy inquired awkwardly thinking she was one of the many one night stands he'd had.

She whipped off her glasses before speaking " Do you now?" Mimicking her 11 year old drawl. 

"Fucking hell... Lo?" He questioned as his jaw dropped, taking a moment to scan her body, bloody hell she'd changed, she was different. Slim, curvy, still short but every so... Well hot. 

" Didn't your mother every teach you staring was rude?" She interrupted sarcastically,

 You'll never know how much I really love you

You'll never know how much I really care

"Why don't you ask her?" He uttered 

"I'll keep that in mind." She responded,

"God if we were playing a game of cat and mouse , I'd definitely be mouse right now" He thought to himself. "This bad... I have a fucking girlfriend and I fancy her... God what am I 11 again!!!" He thought. 

" How come you're here?" He spoke forcing himself out of his trance,

" I decided to do my college year or two here." She replied,

" So you're staying?" He continued making note to contain his excitement,

"Yeah, for a while." She laughed as she could see straight through the 'I'm cool' act. 

" That's great- I mean that's cool!" He jabbered,

" I'll just leave then-" Ray joked,

" No! Sorry it's-" Penny started,

"Yeah piss off!" Dave joked back to his brother before they chuckled,

" I still can't believe it..." Dave whispered,

"Me neither" Penny smiled understanding their old silent bond before she was brought into a hug by the younger brother. 

" So you found her then Davies?" Stu asked whilst both Annetta and Helena stood behind. 

" Look at all of us, the Muswell Misfits are back together! Why don't we all get out of here?" Helena asked before the remaining 4 agreed,

"I'm gonna stay actually" Ray informed,

"You sure?" Penny questioned her voice soft as she tilted her head slightly,

"Yeah go have some fun."

The five excited teenagers were sat in a old booth in one of their generic hangouts, The Archway Tavern. 

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time

" I'm going to see if I can change this" Penelope cringed,

"Agreed, coming with?" Dave asked before Penny nodded,

As the two teens reached the jukebox,

"Preferences?" She asked, before the teen shook his head.
