Set, for Penelope, immediately after her appearance at the end of ‘Snowglobe’, and for Arthur, obviously, quite some time after leaving her behind at the end of the upcoming season finale, ‘Jest’.
Just because they’re my own characters doesn’t mean I don’t get to write fanfiction about them.
“Penny.” I can hear him grin.
“Arthur.”
“Hey.”
“Is it really.. do you know me?”
He looks confused.
“What’re you talking about?”
“You.. you just left here. Talking about needing to forget.. me. About not knowing me yet.”
“Ah. Well, clearly it worked. So.”
“So.”
“Why’re you here?”
A tear finds it’s way out of my eye and to my chin.
“I.. Arthur.”
He just looks at me.
“Please.” Tears are streaming down my face as I begin to consider what his rejection would do to me.. “Please.” And then he hugs me. My face dives into his shoulder.
“You chose to leave, Penny.”
He grabs my shoulders and sees my tired face in the light of the moon. “What happened to you, you silly girl?”
“I.. Arthur.. I can’t..” The words are stuck in my throat, and I hug him again. “I missed you. So much.”
“Take me with you.” I look him straight in the eyes, with some difficulty because the tears keep coming, “Please.”
