Who's surprised to see a new Penelope Pitstop story going up? In all seriousness though, since Fairly Oddparents was first place in the recent poll I did and I'm doing my best to finish up all the Fairly Oddparents stories I have, I thought it would be only fair if I made a new Penelope Pitstop story! Now, despite the fact there IS a 'Perils of Penelope Pitstop' section, this is in the Hanna-Barbera' section because there are going to be cameos of famous Hanna-Barbera characters later on in the story... like right now for instance. You'll see as we go along! Anyway, enjoy!

"When we last saw our lovely heroine, Penelope was eagerly waiting outside her mansion for an upcoming visitor."

Indeed, as the unseen narrator as said, outside a large mansion, sitting down on a beach chair holding binoculars to her eyes and looking around eagerly with a smile on her face, was the pink wearing, always happy-to-see-everybody Penelope Pitstop, who seemed to be excited for something. Normally, she would usually go about her every day activities while playing 'damsel in distress' for the fiendish of fiends that always tried to hunt her down. But today, this was a special day for her.

"Oh, I simply cannot wait to see my sister!" Penelope grinned happily as she pulled out a letter from her pocket and hugged it happily.

Now, seeing family members was nothing new for normal people, but when someone believed that she was an orphan for the past few years, only to find out that there was still a living family member out there, naturally, it would elicit an excited response from someone who hasn't seen the relative for a long time. And that was how Penelope felt when she reunited with her twin sister, Pandora, last summer. Sure, Pandora may not like her for her easy-going attitude, and Penelope knew that she was working for villainy, as she had recently heard, but she didn't care. Penelope and Pandora were still sisters and they kept in touch every now and again. Sure, Pandora would often send her gifts of cartoony bombs to blow up in her face, but it was all in good, clean fun.

And she was more excited today as she was looking over the letter that was sent to her again.

To my... well, ONLY sister, Penelope,

How have you been? I'm doing okay for myself. I think I found some goody-good shoes trying to stop me from my ever-wanting quest of world domination.

Penelope could only shake her head upon rereading that sentence. "Oh Pandora, you and your dreams..." She continued reading the letter.

Actually, ever since I started getting into villainy, I've had my troubles of good guys trying to step into my territory. Superheroes jumping in, trying to stop my technological shrink ray or blue shelling my go-karts, you name it. Regardless, I still find time to send you these letters and the nice little packages I've been sending. Speaking of which, I'm surprised at how resilient you are, if the last bomb I sent you didn't even kill you.

Penelope couldn't help but stifle a giggle upon reading that part. Sure, Penelope knew that her sister had a bit of trying to kill her with every package she sent, but thanks to knowing about death traps, she's been doing well to avoid them. At least Penelope knew that Pandora cared. She continued reading.

Anyway, I'm sending you this letter because I need a break from my every-day life. So, I've decided that I'm going to come and visit you for at least a week. Just don't try and make it into a big deal. I just need to get away from villainy for a while and... even though it's hard, I... begrudgingly admit that I haven't spent enough time with my sister, and I have a feeling that you're going to try and find me, dragging me off so that we could have some... 'quality time' together.

Penelope couldn't help but shake her head. "You know me too well, Pandora."

Well, I have to cut this letter short, but by the time you receive this, I'll already be packed and ready to go. I'm taking the train to Hanna-Barbera Town. Don't call a taxi for me, because, again, I don't want a huge deal made of it. It's just a small vacation to Hanna-Barbera Town, where the bears steal picnic baskets, the mystery groups solve mysteries, and villainy happens on every street corner. Again, DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT. I'll see you in about... a week when I finish writing this, two days when you get this.

Sincerely, I suppose,

Pandora Nicole Pitstop

"Awwww, she's even using her middle name." Penelope's eyes widened cutely upon finishing the letter, before folding it up, putting it in her pocket. Of course, when Penelope received the letter and read it through the first time, she knew it was a big deal. After all, how often did her sister come over to visit? She couldn't help but feel excited about the wondrous things she could spend time doing with Pandora... exploring the town, witnessing one of the epic battles between Blue Falcon and one of his arch nemesises, going to a concert featuring Jabberjaw and the Neptunes… her eyes shined as she had an idea. A nice little picnic in the park! That would surely get Pandora excited.

As she daydreamed about the possibilities of the week she was going to have with Pandora, she didn't realize that in the distance, three familiar heads poked out as one of them was adjusting his green hat.

"Remind me, Bully Brothers, to request Pitstop for planting new shrubs... if she ever lives, that is." The Hooded Claw gave a sinister grin.

"Sure thing." Crane, the first Bully Brother, rolled his eyes.

"Is it really necessary to do this?" Tank asked. "I mean, you capture Penelope, and she escapes your traps, via the Ant Hill Mob or her competence."

"This time, I have a perfect trap that even SHE won't escape." The Hooded Claw said as he rubbed his hands sinisterly.

"Uh-oh, if what the Hooded Claw says is true, then he's obviously up to no good!"

"You're darn tootin', buster." The Hooded Claw smirked, speaking to the unseen narrator, before turning to the Bully Brothers. "Okay, Bully Brothers, capture Pitstop and bring her to the place I told you to meet me at!"

Crane and Tank sighed as Tank picked up the empty sack. "I guess if there's nothing else..."

"Come on..." Crane said as the two brothers got up as the Hooded Claw stealthily ran off.

Back with Penelope, as she was enjoying the sun's rays and eagerly awaiting the arrival of her sister, she heard a couple of coughing sounds coming from a westernly direction. The blonde haired rich girl immediately turned... only to deflate when she saw Crane and Tank approaching, the latter carrying the sack.

"Ugh, really, guys?" Penelope lowered her eyelids. "Is he really doing this today?"

"Sorry." Crane sighed.

"Policy rules." Tank said.

"I know, but... I have plans!" Penelope complained as she pointed to the door. "I just called a taxi to pick up my sister!"

Tank's eyes lit up. "Oh, is Pandora coming?"

"Yay!" Crane grinned. "That's great news! Oh, she's just sweet!"

Penelope raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I'm surprised you know her."

Crane and Tank winced a bit before looking at each other, Crane tugging his collar nervously. Penelope scratched her head, before her eyes lit up. "Oh! Do you guys know her at your henchman place you meet up? I know Pandora's on the evil side."

Crane and Tank paused a bit, surprised that Penelope, as smart as she was, still didn't put two and two together on the fact that Crane and Tank the accountants were Crane and Tank Bully. It wasn't like they were common names in this universe. But still, they went with it as Crane grinned, "Y-yes, we've met her during our times as henchmen in training. She's awesome, sassy too!"

"Yeah!" Tank said. "You can say she treats people just as good..."

"Oh, that's nice." Penelope smiled. "Say, maybe I can reintroduce you guys!"

"Oh, would you?" Tank asked as he carefully slid the bag under Penelope's feet, capturing her so that her head was visible.

"Well, sure, boys." The blonde haired girl smiled as Crane and Tank lifted the captured girl up and started to carry her. "I'll try and see if I can put in a good word for you two."

"Oh, wonderful!" Crane smiled. "Sorry we have to kidnap you, but hopefully you'll get out of this trap."

Penelope couldn't help but sigh. "Can you give me a chance to text the Ant Hill Mob, let them know I'm trapped again?"

"Sure." Tank said, loosening a knot on the bag to get one of Penelope's arms free as she pulled out a cell phone.

"Thank you." Penelope said as she started typing down a message. "Hey boys. Captured by Bully Brothers again. They're taking me to Hooded Claw. Help help." Penelope then pushed the button to send the message before putting her arm back in as Tank made sure to tighten the bag.

"There..." Tank said as he looked up to Penelope. "So, Penny, seen any good movies lately."

"Yeah, my brother and I plan to go to a movie after today. Any good ones you can recommend?" Crane asked in curiosity.

Penelope couldn't help but give a smile and a sigh. She knows that they were supposed to be their capturers, but she could sense the good natured hearts those two had.

"Oh dear... looks like Penelope is once again in the grasp of the Hooded Claw! What perilous terrible deed does he plan on doing now? Will the Ant Hill Mob come to save her? And what of her evil twin sister, Pandora Pitstop, who, as of now, is currently riding in a taxi sent by Penelope herself?"

Over at the other end of town, leaving the train station was a taxi driven by Mildew Wolf as he turned with a smile to the passenger in the back. "Don't worry, my fair lady. You'll be at the Pitstop residence soon."

Sitting in the back, arms crossed, looking annoyed at sitting in this taxi was Pandora Pitstop, a young girl about the same age as Penelope, with black hair and a purple raicing outfit, pouting a bit. "Joy..."

As she sat down with a pouting look on her face, she couldn't help but hide a small smile. Her sister always had the knack to make a big deal out of everything...

"We'll find out what happens next chapter!"
