Listening to another MST3k song, it inspired me to do another Penelope Pitstop fan fiction. Why? Because, it made me sad. Plus, I wanted to do one. Anyway, the disclaimer! I don't own Penelope Pitstop, which is a copyright of Hanna Barbera, and I don't own Mystery Science Theater 3000, a copyright of Best Brains. I do however, own the first names of The Bully Brothers, and an OC that's going to appear later in the story! Anyway, enjoy!
"Last time we saw Penelope, she was… she was… walking around the town? Is that even right?"
Indeed, the pink wearing heroine was having a great day as she was walking around the town, peacefully, and stretching. Recently, she had just opened another mall dedicated to one of the many citizens in town, she had taken photographs of the wildlife running around the park, and now, she was just laying down and relaxing, taking a deep breath as she gave a small smile. She then picked up a flower from nearby and smiled as she casually sniffed it.
"It's so much of a nice day. Nothing could spoil it." Penelope sighed in happiness.
"But I don't understand. Where's the Hooded Claw?"
"Right here, you dunderhead!"
Penelope jumped at the sudden voice as she looked around, getting prepared. "The Hooded Claw!"
At that moment, Penelope spotted the villain of villains as he was casually looking over a clipboard, humming to himself. "That's right, Pitstop!"
"What's your hairbrained scheme this time?" Penelope asked, her eyes narrowing at the man in the green cape and purple mask.
"Actually, if you can believe that, I have no plan for killing you today." The Hooded Claw said, causing Penelope to just look at the man in bewilderment. "I can see you have doubts, but it's true. See, lately my plans have been costing a lot of money. I mean things have skyrocketed. So, today, I'm thinking outside of the box. And at the end of the day you'll see changes around here."
At this point, Crane Bully and Tank Bully, the twin Bully Brothers, came up to the Hooded Claw, licking some lollipops that they acquired from a candy shop down the road as Penelope took note of them. Penelope couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking between them and the casual Hooded Claw.
"Do you mean to say…?" Penelope asked.
"Yes, Pitstop, the Bully Brothers and I are reengineering. And the Bully Brothers are going to spearhead the people who work for me." The Hooded Claw smiled.
Crane and Tank looked up in excitement, their eyes sparkling in delight.
"Really? Us?" Crane said.
"Wow!" Tank said.
"That's right, Bully Brothers. We got to cut costs! We've got deadwood!" The Hooded Claw said.
"Exactly!" Crane said.
"I think you're right!" Tank agreed.
"Of course I'm right, Bully Brothers! Here, go find the people I'm going to fire, and kick them out!" The Hooded Claw said, handing the Bully Brothers his clipboard.
Crane took the clipboard out of the hands of their boss as he read the names. "Bully, Crane, and Bully, Tank."
Tank sighed. "Poor guys. I bet they had a family…"
Crane and Tank then realized that… "WHAT? We're the one's being fired?"
The Hooded Claw rubbed his hands together and nodded, with Penelope looking on in surprise. "That's that! Painful, but I have to think for myself."
The Hooded Claw then took their nametags off, and their scarves. "By the way, Bully Brothers, what color parachutes do you wear?"
"We don't have parachutes." Crane said before he and Tank began to sob.
"Oh, bummer. Well, here's your parting gift…" The Hooded Claw gave the Bully Brothers a stuffed gorilla. "…And here's your farewell dinner." He then handed the Bully Brothers a frozen TV dinner.
Penelope stared at this in surprise, honestly not sure what to make of this. "But the Bully Brothers are your only employees! How will they eat? How will they live?"
"Oh, they'll be fine. Look at how hirable they are!" The Hooded Claw said as the Bully Brothers just stared in shock. "Anyway, Pitstop, I won't be seeing you for the next few days, due to the fact I'm hiring new employees. So consider yourself lucky!"
The Hooded Claw then turned to the Bully Brothers with a grin as he motioned them to follow. "Well, it's been good seeing you Bully Brothers. I probably won't be seeing you again, so good-bye."
"But, we still live with you!" Tank said.
"Good point. Very well, you can stay with me until you get a job, or if I get new employees!" The Hooded Claw said.
The Bully Brothers sighed as they followed the Hooded Claw out of the scene.
Penelope was left standing, looking over towards the disappointed brothers in sympathy. "Poor guys. They're probably in shock about what just happened."
"You may be right, Penelope. It is a shame, but with the Bully Brothers out of a job, they might not have anywhere to go... who would the Hooded Claw even hire to replace our bumbling sidekicks?"
Here's Chapter 1! How was it? I was going to make this a one-shot, but I decided to put it in multiple chapters! Will that be good? Anyway, review away and no flames!
