A Call-Me-Out post for all the sweet Penny action you need.

[Cleo tries a few times to edge in and reassure Penny that absolutely does she want to do this, and absolutely is she sure, but eventually she just resigns herself to taking an actions over words approach. She leans in close, eyelashes lowering, and cuts Penny off right there by pressing her lips to Penny's in a soft, warm kiss.

It's a cliche, but hey. They only have so much time to do this thing right.]

[Action's probably the best option when trying to interrupt someone who doesn't need to stop for breath, honestly. Penny has time for one last nervous eeping sound before her lips press to Cleo's, eyes closing.]

[Penny can't feel it physically, the way Cleo can - it's just a sense of pressure. But mentally, emotionally, it brings a moment of stillness. It's peaceful, after her rising anxiety.]

[She leans into the kiss, raising her hand to rest on Cleo's. Waiting for but not wanting it to end.]

[When it finally breaks, it's a second before she speaks again.]

That was nice. Did I do it right?

[Cleo's eyes flutter closed, and even though it's a simple, chaste kiss, it's better than anyone she's kissed since she can remember. There's a feeling in her stomach that's either carsickness or butterflies, but she's pretty sure it's the butterflies. Penny's hand covers hers, and Cleo lets the world around them, the bus, the Vengaboys all fade away. When they pull back, she smiles, her voice uncharacteristically soft.]

Yeah. You did a really good job. I couldn't tell you were a robot at all.

[in4apounding]

Thanks?

[That was really nice, but how do.]

...I couldn't tell you were a clone at all?

[Cleo grins, and leans in for one more soft, brief kiss.]

Thanks. Penny, you make me feel....totally original.

[It's something she's just now realized she's always wanted. To feel like her own person. Not just a copy.]

[in4apounding]

Hee. Thanks. You ARE totally original.

[That phrasing sure hits close to home, though, in a very sudden moment of clarity. That how closely they've bonded might not be so unexpected after all.]

[Penny leans in, resting her forehead against Cleo, eyes closed.]

[But then a few seconds later her eyes snap wide.]

Wait, does that mean there's another Gandhi.
