That picture is almost exactly how I picture the Penny/Carla friendship <3

Contrary to popular belief, Penny was actually really excited about the party! She had, thankfully, grown out of her tattling "phase" after she was adopted by the Montgomery-Quinn's. Thankfully Madison, Ron, and Alice forgive her overtime and they became friends again. She even got an apology from Ted and Carla for becoming distant after figuring out she was a robot. Everything was finally back to normal in her life.

The android was at a small cafe with her best friend Carla, sitting in comfortable silence while they finished their homework and ate together.

"Hey Carla, you never answered if you were going to the party or not?" of course Penny knew the answer already.

Carla continued eating, "Hopefully. I don't know yet though, I haven't asked my dad."

Penny, satisfied with her answer, looked back down at her notebook.

On the other side of the table Carla was struggling to focus on the advanced algebra in front of her. Though she would never let anyone know, she really wanted to go to this party but she highly doubted her father would let her. Like most of Jerome's party's, there will be most likely be alcohol, sex, and drugs, a traditional Highschool party. And Carla's over protective father seemed to know that. All the other Highschool parties she's been to she either sneaked out or lied, saying she was going to sleep over at Lily's. Well technically it wasn't a lie, she really would sleepover at Lily's house, but they'd make a quick detour to whoever's parents were out of town that day's house. Her dad was becoming suspicious.

Carla didn't know why this party felt so important to her. Any other party she would've been ok with not going, I mean there was probably gonna be another in a few weeks anyway, but this time. It felt different.

"No."

"Please dad!" Carla slammed her hands on the kitchen counter in front of her. She instantly regretted her actions when her dad momentarily stopped washing dishes to glare at her.

"I said no." her father told her sternly and continued to do the dishes.

"But why though? I promise I'll be responsible!" Carla didn't like how high her voice was becoming as she borderline begged her dad to let her go to the party.

"You know damn well why not." he was starting to get agitated but Carla didn't care. "Theirs gonna be boys there, TEENAGE boys, I know how they act. I'm doing this for your sake."

"Daddy come on, I'm 15 I can handle myself! I'll be fine."

Her father finally looked back at her and gave a long pause, pushing his lips together in thought. Carla knew this dad was over protective of her, if he knew what happened to her in kindergarten he would probably homeschool her, but she was a teenager who wants to do teenager things! And that includes going to parties with her childhood friends.

Just as Carla was about to give up and text Penny she couldn't make it, her dad spoke up.

"I'll think about it. Ok?" her eyes brightened as she made a high-pitched sound and ran to her celebrate. This was possibly the happiest moment of her year so far, I mean she now had about a 40% chance she could go to Monty's party!

"Wow that's a lot a soda." Penny spoke as she walked into the kitchen to help Jerome and Monty bring all their supplies into the AirBnB they rented for the party. Jerome smirked and reached down into the cabinet the Montgomery-Quinn's kept their expensive wine and alcohol in and pulled out a case of cheap beer that the rich Christina Montgomery would never even buy, "And there's more in the garage." he let out a small chuckle and handed Ozzy the case to hide in the car.

None of them were able to drive yet so they still needed their parents to drive them over. Ozzy side-eyed Monty with a small smirk. "And moms ok with this?"

The ginger rolled his eyes at the stepbrother. "Obviously not that's why we're not telling them."

"Where'd you even get this stuff anyway?"

"I have a guy." Monty said casually and went back to leaning against the counter and texting someone on his phone. As the school's local merchant, Monty could practically get his hands on any thing he really wanted. Both legal and illegal. Thats what made his "shop" more popular then Carla's.

Penny softly laughed at her brothers antics and picked up the bag to ¢99 off brand soda off the counter.

Carla looked from the device she was tinkering with as she heard loud knocking on her door. The old door creaked as ther dad meekly stepped into her small room, closing the door behind him.

They stared at each other for a second, Carla not use to seeing her father like this, before Alejandro cleared his throat. "...you can go."

The girl couldn't believe her ears. Her father, the same man who almost stabbed Jerome when he came over to finish a group project, was letting her go to Highschool party where there would certainly be alcohol and boys.

"Really?"

"Really."

Carla shot up from her desk chair  and jumped into her fathers arms, engulfing him in a big hug. "ThankyouThankyouThankyou-"

"But there are a few rules." her dad hugged her back as he spoke. Carla looked up from her dads chest to look him in the eyes.

"One: be home before 11. Two: you will come back sober and unharmed." Carla rolled her eyes but let him continue his typical overprotective "Dad Speech".

"And three: no sex-" she let go immediately and glared at the older man, red in the face.

"Gross dad."

"Just being safe." he smiled and put his hands in the air in mock surrender then turned out the room, closing the door behind him.

Carla immediately pulled out her phone with the biggest smile on her face.
