Setting: Penny and Rob Reiner's Home
"Oh, Rob!" Penny said imitating Laura Petrie crying
for Rob in the Dick Van Dyke Show.
"Look honey. I'm sorry, but I have to go. All In
The Family has to go on location to shoot the next 3
episodes. You know I wouldn't leave you unless I have
to" Rob said trying to calm his wife down.
"But I'll be all alone!"
"With Tracy" Rob added and Penny gave a sigh and
said "I give up!". She picked up Rob's last duffel bag
that had to be loaded into the trunk and shoved it in
his arms.
"Call me when you get there" and with that she gave
him a quick kiss on the lips, turned him around, and
shoved him out the door. When she was sure he had
pulled away from the house she leaned against the door
and with a relieved sigh she said "I don't know how
many times I'll have to have to do that. I may be an
actress, but this is crazy!" then she said slightly
under her breathe "I hope he rots in hell."
Later on the afternoon, about 11:00 am actually,
Penny was busy trying to figure out how much more she
can jab out of Paramount. She had a pair of sunglasses
taking the place of a headband, her forehead rested in
her left hand and drumming her pencil in her right
hand on the table as she stared from her calculator to
her sheets of figures. She thought she heard a creak,
so she looked up and realized that her daughter Tracy
was standing in the doorway in a very revealing
outfit. She was wearing a very low cut red halter top,
tight, black short shorts, and her dark colored hair
piled on the top of her head secured by a pair of
sunglasses placed on her head like her mother.
"Mom? Do you know where my little black purse is?"
Tracy asked.
"Look in the car" Penny suggested not even noticing
her outfit. She went back to her work and then she
looked over as Tracy walked out of the room and she
yelled, "Tracy! Get over here!" Tracy knew she was in
trouble. "Where did you get that outfit?" Penny was
ready to pounce on her but when Tracy told her she got
it out of Penny's closet she realized she was caught.
She told her she was only going over to Lori's house
and Garry would be picking her up in 3 minutes so she
let her go. Smutty outfit or no smutty outfit she had
to let her go. She figured she'd let Garry handle her.
"How long are ya gonna be over at Gar's?" Penny
asked, still staring at her calculator.
"I dunno ... we're just going over to the country
club with Aunt Barbara." Tracy replied. "Mom, I can't
find my mascara! Can I borrow some of yours?"
"Yeah, it's upstairs on my dresser."
Tracy rushed upstairs. Penny sat there,
contemplating for a moment. She was in a deep train
of thought when she heard the door shut. She looked
up and saw it was her brother Garry, and his daughter
Lori. "Trace! We're ready!" Lori yelled as soon as
she entered the home.
"She's upstairs Lori," Penny informed her niece.
"Oh, hiya aunt Penny! Upstairs huh?" Lori asked.
Penny glanced at her quickly and nodded, then turned
back to the numerous figures. Lori dashed up the
stairs screaming, "C'mon Tracy! Get your butt down
here!"
"What's all that?" asked Garry, walking over to the
table.
"Salaries, taxes, budgets ... all that fun stuff,"
answered Penny, lighting up a cigarette.
Just then, Tracy bounded down the stairs along with
Lori. She ran over and threw her arms around her
mom's shoulders. "Bye Mom!" she screamed as she and
Lori ran out of the door into the California sunshine.
"Bye sweetie!" Penny yelled after her.
"See ya later Pen," said Garry.
"Bye!" Penny yelled.
With that, Garry left. Penny looked back at her
paper and figured it was a hopeless case, so she
neatly stacked everything up in a pile and put in a
her desk drawer. She walked over to her TV and turned
it on just in time to see reruns of L&S (it did come
on in reruns earlier around noon in the 70's). She
stared blankly at the TV as she saw her and Cindy
bound up the sidewalk chanting "1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 8 ,
etc.." She quickly realized what episode this was. It
was "Look Before You Leap." She smiled slightly as she
watched Lenny and Squiggy figure out Laverne thought
she was pregnant. Although she kept telling herself
she was smiling because the two guys were funny as a
team, Penny knew she was smiling because Mike's face
was on the screen. For a few months now Penny and Mike
had been having a secret rendezvous. They tried not
to let anyone know, but of course Cindy found out. She
was kinda lost in a reverie when the phone rang and
snapped her back into reality. It was Tracy on the
phone asking if she could spend the night at Garry's.
Penny agreed and said she would pick he up about 1:00
PM tomorrow afternoon. She placed the phone back in
it's cradle and then thought "Well, isn't this
something? I'm home alone. No one here. I can do
whatever I want all night..."
Flash forward to a half an hour later...
Penny has music blaring and is singing her heart out
and dancing around the house in one of her many
naughty negligees. As she is in the chorus of "Stop In
the Name of Love" the doorbell rings. She turns down
the music, puts on a coat, and checks to see who is at
the door. She discovers it's Michael McKean! ('Bout
time he showed up! I was getting worried!)
"Hey Mike!" Penny says trying to catch her breathe
from darting across the house.
"Hi. Is Rob home?" Mike asked cautiously.
"Nah. He left on a business trip for a few weeks."
Penny explained as she let him in. "Why'd ya come
over?"
"I was bored at my place. Susan is at a baby shower
in Tampa for the weekend with Colin, again. She goes
out of town a lot and always takes him with her" Just
then he noticed she was wearing a coat. "Hmm ...
interesting choice of clothing. Starting a new trend
are we?" He asked with a smirk.
Penny then realized she still in her jacket. "Well,
I was kinda just having some fun."
"Doing...?"
"You'll see," and with that Penny darted behind the
archway from the hallway into the kitchen and he could
hear the tune from Pretty Woman start up (what is
this, Oldies but Goodies night?! Anyway...). Right
when the words "Pretty Woman walking down the street"
were sung Mike could slowly see Penny appear again.
She was doing sort of a sexy walk in her nightie and
of course had a see-through robe over that, all done
in black. He began laugh when he saw what she was
doing.
"Penny, you never cease to amaze me."
When the words "No one can look as good as you"
Penny slowly raised her arms above her head and kinda
did one of those sexy wiggles where you lower yourself
towards the ground. Then she dropped the see-through
robe, revealing just the black negligee. And Mike's
jaw just dropped. She leisurely rose back up and
wrapped her arms around Mike's neck and he dipped her
back. She giggled alluringly. As Mike lifted himself
and her back up, their eyes met. They stared into
each other's eyes yearningly for what seemed like an
eternity. After a while the song ended, and somehow
Penny was distracted from this sort of trance. "Uh...
I'd better go... uh... put a different song on," she
said stuttering. She took a deep breath and added
confidently, "Any requests?"
"Yeah," Mike started. Penny was off to change the
music but he stopped her and said, "No. Let me." He
walked into the kitchen and looked through all of the
records and 8 tracks. When he found just the one he
was looking for, he took the "Pretty Woman" record off
the player and put on this one. All of a sudden, the
familiar tune of "When A Man Loves A Woman" (Ya know
... that song! "When a man loves a woman..."
somethin' somethin'... "Turn his back on his best
friend if he put her down..." Yeah, okay.) blasted
through the house, echoing off every wall. Michael
appeared back in the archway, and smiled. He
sauntered casually over to Penny, and whispered in her
ear, "May I?"
She looked up at him with those big green eyes, and
nodded, "You certainly may."
Pen wrapped her arms around Mike's neck, and he
placed his arms around her waist. They began to
dance. Michael pressed his lips gently against
Penny's forehead. After a while though, tension began
to mount, and the seductive temptation began to build.
The two went into an almost instant lip lock, the
passion becoming more and more intense. When they
finally stopped, Mike was out of breath and Penny's
face was all red. She turned around with her back
against his chest, and he wiggled his way ever so
slowly down her neck, and touched his lips to her bare
shoulders.
"Mike?" Penny asked.
"Hmm?" Mike responded with his lips still locked to
her body and his hands caressing her shoulders, back,
stomach, and waist.
"Are you still in love with Susan?"
This caught Mike's attention and made him kinda
uneasy. He could feel every muscle in his body tense.
"What made you think of that?"
Penny turned around and met his gaze face to face. "I
dunno. I guess I just go to thinking with you coming
over here a lot when no one is home"
"Well, don't think so much" He said and he pushed
back her carmel colored hair and began to kiss her
lips. They both shared one long passionate kiss.
Penny threw her arms around Michael and laid her head
against his chest. Just then, she heard a clangor.
She used her thumb to touch her ring finger ... and as
she had suspected, the ring was gone. "My ring..."
she mumbled.
"What was that?" Michael asked, his hands caressing
her waist.
"Nothin'..." Penny trailed off.
Just a few minutes later, Michael looked down at
Penny. He noticed she was looking awfully thin, and
he knew she hadn't had an appetite for days. He also
noticed she was in deep concentration. On what, he
couldn't be sure though. Out of nowhere, Michael
blurted, "I'm hungry."
Penny laughed and turned to him. "Did you just say
you were hungry?"
Michael laughed at himself and nodded, "Yeah I...
guess I did. Hey, why don't you go into the kitchen
and make some sandwiches okay?"
Penny replied, "Okay ... sure." Then she walked into
the kitchen. As soon as he saw her figure disappear
he bent down and picked up the wedding ring that had
fallen off Penny's finger. Inside it there was an
inscription. "PM & RR 1971." Michael kept studying
it. He walked into the kitchen with it still tightly
secured inside is hand and found Penny going through
the fridge.
"Lose something?" he asked and showed her the ring.
She looked down at her hand.
"Oh I guess I did" Then Michael took her hand and
placed it on her finger while gazing into her eyes. He
started leaning towards her and Penny leaned back into
the open fridge door and it slammed and she fell down
flat on her back. Michael dropped to his knees and put
one knee along either side of her and laid down on top
of her. Slowly their soft lips touched and Michael
slipped his hands under her waist and moved his hand
up the back of her blouse stroking her back. When
Penny felt his hand reach her bra clasp she drew back
from his warm embrace.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked.
"I dunno" Penny said with a confused look on her face.
"For some reason I feel sick, but not a flu sick".
"Cramps?" Mike suggested.
"Hmm ... probably" she said trying to shove it out of
her mind. At that moment they heard a crash. Mike got
up and helped Penny up too and they went to
investigate. They found that Rob and Penny's wedding
picture had fallen off the wall and the glass had
cracked right between Penny and Rob. Penny picked it
up and simply said "I'll take this as a sign."
"First the ring, now the picture. Something is wrong
here." Mike said getting an eerie feeling.
