Penny was still learning. She learned rather quickly, especially for someone who had spent most of her short life stuck in a lab and told she couldn’t leave, but there were still glaring holes in her understanding of people and the world and, especially, laws. Of course she’d been taught laws after running away and finding a few friends, but there were jumps in logic that constantly led to her accidentally breaking some laws.
Which was why she was currently sitting in the police department, swinging her legs slowly back and forth, while waiting for Winter. How was she to know that picking up pennies from wishing fountains wasn’t allowed? Weren’t you supposed to pick up pennies? She’d been told they were good luck and, yes, she liked the name association which was why she’d only been grabbing the pennies and no other coins.
It was going to take a while to learn all these rules.
