(upbeat pop music)

(coffee beans rattling)

(steam blowing)

- Thank you.

- Yeah, but he doesn't
know what the difference

between past, perfect,
and present is.

I got to go.

Hey.

- Oh, hey.
- I'm glad you could make it.

- [Liam] It's great to see you.

- Yeah, of course.

I had to grade these
exams somewhere.

It may as well be here.

So?

Your message left me
on pins and needles.

What's up?

- Well, it's good news.

Great news.

I mean maybe.

- Just tell me!

What is it?

- I have someone at
Adams and Andrews

who wants to read
your manuscript.

- They're the best.

The best of the best.

- But, I have a concern.

Okay, we have shopped your
manuscript everywhere,

so this could be
your last chance

to get your book published.

- Yes, but you are
the person that says

it only takes one yes.

- And it's true,

but, this is not the
time to leave town.

What if Adams and Andrews
want additional changes?

- Well then I'll get them done.

Liam, I can't miss this trip.

It's my grandmas 75th birthday.

Se's been planning for months

and now my mom is
stuck dealing with

contractors at the house

and I said that
I'll go help out.

- Okay, I appreciate that
you have family obligations,

but I need you to be available

and ready to finish
this project.

- Definitely.

And I will get
your revisions done

before I leave for the lake,

and if Adams and Andrews
have any other notes,

I will get those done too.

- Good.

I'm counting on you.

I had to call in some
pretty big favors

to get you this read.

- Thank you.

And I promise,
this is going to be

the best draft you have ever
read in your entire life.

(phone ringing)
(both laughing)

- I have to take this.

- Yeah, that's fine.

Go.

- [Liam] Audi, this
better be good.

- Hello!

- Oh!

My Penelope has
returned at last!

- Grandma, you've
got four children,

11 grandchildren, and who
knows how many cousins

that all come see you.

- You're my only Penelope.

You look tired.

- It was a long drive.

- Well no, you're
just doing too much.

- Surely you have not
been retired so long

you've forgotten
about the mad rush

at the end of the school year?

- No, I remember.

(both laughing)

And I have just the thing

to put the color
back in those cheeks!

I have a berry
cobbler in the oven.

- I could smell it the
second I stepped inside.

- Oh could you?

Because I started to
use fresh nutmeg...

- It smells like home.
(perky music)

I love you.

- Did you bring bags?

- Yes.

- [Dot] Go get them.

- Right, I will do that.

(phone ringing)

- [Josie] Hello?

- The eagle has landed.

- Initiating step one.

Jason!

Can you go help that poor girl
in the Campbell's driveway?

- On it!

Here, let me help you with that.

- Oh, no, no.
- No, I've got it.

It's fine.
- It's okay!

- Oh!
- Oh!

- Oh no!
- No!

- [Dot] I told
you it would work.

- [Penelope] Jason.

- Penny.

- It's Pen now.

- It's been a long time.

- Too long.

- How have you been?

- You know.

Can I have my shirt?
(tense music)

- What?

- My shirt.

- Oh, sorry about that!

Here.

Kittens.

- It's vintage.

- What a pleasant surprise!

And you've come to help Pen!

Oh, such manners.

- Yeah.

- It's like magnets
pulling you two together.

(Pen and Jason chuckling)

How long has it been?

- Since--

- High school.

- Oh well, why don't
you come inside Jason?

I've made cobbler.

There we are!

(perky music)
- Mm, my favorite.

- Some things never change.

So, I'm sure you two
want to catch up.

Pen was made a department head

at her middle school this year.

- You teach?

- It's kind of the
family business.

- So Josie tells me
that you're in banking.

- Banking, really?

- Kind of.

- So what exactly do you do?

- Investment banking.

- [Dot] Oh.

- I help corporations
and other organizations

raise capital to grow
their businesses.

(perky music)

- Where'd you get your MBA?

- University of Chicago.

- You know, when
you two were kids,

your grandma and I used to think

you were fated to be together.

I mean, you were
completely inseparable.

- That was a very, very
long time ago grandma.

- Oh, well, you
know the old saying,

the only thing more
powerful than time is love.

- Who said that?

- I did.

- Aren't you quite the poet?

- Oh Jason!

You flatter me!

(tense music)

Say, I have a fabulous idea.

Do you remember Pen's
cousin Annabeth?

Well, she was talking about
going dancing tonight.

I think she wants to practice

her moves for my party.

I think the two of you
should go with her.

- I wish I could.

I actually have
plans tonight though.

Speaking of which, I
should probably get going.

Thank you so much
for the cobbler.

- You're welcome.

- And it was really
nice to see both of you.

- Yes, and we'll see
you again soon too.

(light gentle music)

You know, it feels like
summer when you were a kid

and the house was full.

- [Penelope] Awe Grandma.

- It must be nice to
see Jason again, huh?

- I came here to
see you grandma.

- No feelings because
it's been so long?

- It's actually
a little strange.

- But there's so many memories.

You must have a
lot to talk about.

- Grandma, I just don't have
time for that right now.

I know you really want me to
have a date to your party,

but I'm not interested
in seeing anybody.

- Well, when was the last
time you went on a date?

- How about we talk about
your plans for the party?

- Oh, well, I've gotten
RSVP's from everyone.

The only person I'm concerned
about is your mother.

- Yeah, I know.

But, after she gets
the flood under control

she will be here.

- I hope so.

I brought you a
crossword puzzle.

- I love these.

- I really need
help with this one.

- See, I fell for
that as a kid, but,

you'd always pretend
there was one

you just couldn't
get without my help.

You made me feel very important.

But now I see that you
didn't need my help at all.

- No, I did!

And I still do!

You were always better at these.

So listen, if it's not Jason,
(Penelope laughing)

maybe we can find you someone
who likes puzzles, huh?

- Suppose there's no point
in asking you to stop.

- What?

Stop loving you?

Stop wanting good
people in your life?

No, no, no point at all!
- Awe grandma.

- [Dot] Oh!

- What's wrong?

- I forgot to pick up the
bread for dinner tonight

and Annabeth is
going to be here--

- Oh, I can go.

- Would you?

- [Penelope] Yeah, I'll go.

- Good, but you have to go to
George's Bakery on Main Street

'cause that's where
I placed the order.

(upbeat music)

(birds chirping)

- Penelope's grown into such
a beautiful young woman.

- Grandma, we talked
about this, remember?

You and my favorite cousin Lily

are the only beauties I
want in my life this summer.

- I know, but Dot's
like a sister to me

and it's Penelope.

You used to think she
was someone special.

- Someone special?

- He was completely smitten.

- Grandma!

- All right, all
right, all right.

Why don't the two of you
head down to the bookstore--

- I can get books on my phone.

- You can get a whole lot more
than that at the bookstore.

- Like a coffee date with your
water aerobics instructor?

- Well did you want
me to give her a call?

- No, no thank you.

- I want you to pick up a copy

of my Seniors Weekly magazine
while you're down there.

- You got that
delivered yesterday.

(slow perky music)

- I gave it to Dot.

So I need another one.

- All right, come on.

- Oh, by the way, I
have a new optometrist.

Jason, she is so pretty.

- Oh grandma, remember,

you and Lily, the only beauties!

- You are such a charmer.

- Ready?

All right.

(Josie laughs)

(upbeat music)

(slow gentle music)

- Can it be?

- The bakery looks amazing.

I'll have to admit,
I doubted when you

told me your renovation
plans, but great job.

- Thank you very much.

That's not the only
thing that's new here.

Have you met my grandson David?

He's moved back.

- Oh.

George, I would love
to stay and catch up,

but I have to hurry back.

- He's recently single,

and he's really good looking.

Gets his good looks from
his father of course.

(Penelope chuckles)
David, get out here!

David, this is Pen.

She's visiting
from San Francisco.

Dot's granddaughter.

- The teacher, right?

- [George] He's in a band.

- We're called Star Rising.

- About the bread.

- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

We'll put that on Dot's tab.

- Thank you.

- Your grandmother's
a mighty fine woman.

I baked something
special just for her.

Now you make sure that
you say hello from me.

Oh and from David
of course, as well.

- I will.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye, see ya.

- [Lily] Pen!

- Lily bug!

Get over here!

So how was your first
year in middle school?

- You're in middle
school already?

- I got my own phone!

- That is a huge mile stone,

and a very pretty case.

- Uh-huh, Jason told grandma
that you were someone special.

(perky music)

- I didn't say that.

- Well you know,
once upon a time

we were actually
very great friends.

What'd you get?

- [Lily] I got "A
Wrinkle In Time."

- That is one of my
all-time favorites!

You are going to
absolutely love it.

- Really?

- Yeah!

My students always do.

I love watching them
because when they read it,

their faces light up.

- I always knew you'd
make a great teacher.

- Interesting choice.

- It's actually for Josie.
(Lily giggles)

- So, are you here
for the summer?

- Yeah, actually.

You know in grad
school I started

coming back for Christmases.

But this is really the
(phone ringing)

first summer I've
had the chance...

- I'm so sorry, I
got to get this, bye.

Hi!

Hi.

- Okay.
- Just a second.

- [Liam] Pen, I just got a
call from Adams and Andrews.

They're interested
in a publishing deal.

- Are you serious?

- Hey, hold on, there's a butt.

- Right, yes, what is it?

- They want a lot
of story revision

and they want the
final draft done

by the end of the month.

- Liam, I can totally do this.

I promise.

- I'll send you the first round.

Have them done by
tomorrow afternoon.

- Yes!
(perky music)

- [Jason] What?

- You tell me what.

- Come on, let's go home.

- [Lily] Thank you.

- [Jason] Thanks.

- Okay, bye-bye.

- A yacht.

- Yeah, I've been really
into sailboats lately.

There's a lot you could
do with them design-wise.

Except I've been stuck
at this part for a while.

- Wow, I can hardly wait
to sail in that one day.

(Jason laughs)

Isn't it so great being
here in the summer?

You get to know your cousin.

Lily comes when her parents

are working for her
break just like you did.

- Her parents ship
her off so they

can hammer out a divorce
like mine did too.

- I know when your
parents got divorced

that you thought you had
to take care of your mom.

Get a job, give up your dream.

You don't.

It's not true.

I always thought you'd be
a great naval architect.

- Would it be corny if I
say that ship has sailed?

- Maybe it's time for you
to meet somebody special?

- Please grandma?

No more setups.

I have been here two days

and you have arranged
four meetings.

Five if you count
Penelope in the driveway.

I do.

Uh-huh.

Right now, I am just
focused on being here.

The only place that
feels like home anymore.

- Oh honey.
(slow gentle music)

Okay.

Hey, if you feel like sailing,

I still have the old boat.

It's a bit of a wreck
and the sail's torn,

but it floats.

Maybe you could fix it
up while you're here.

- I'd love to.

- Oh hey.

What'd you think
of the new bakery?

Did you meet George's grandson?

- He's not my type.

- Oh, I think he's
a lovely young man.

He's in a band.

- Oh trust me, I heard.

- Well maybe he could be
your date for my party?

- I think I'm going to pass.

- Well maybe you'll
like Brian better.

- Brian? Who's Brian?

- He's Annabeth's friend.

He's coming over for dinner.

- Pen!

(girls screaming)

- Hey!
- I missed you so much!

- [Penelope] How's life?

How's work?

Wait, first you have to tell me

about this Chad guy.

- Or you could just meet him.

- Hi.
- Hey!

- [Annabeth] This is
my boyfriend Chad.

- Now you're the cousin
who might as well

be a sister who can't
get here fast enough

and could probably
just move here.

Or something like that.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

- Likewise.

- Oh, my friend Brian's
on his way over.

He's a dentist.

- Oh, how wonderful.

Pen has such lovely teeth.

Now, if we hurry up with dinner,

we can make the dancing.

- Oh!
- Oh, grandma,

- [Penelope] I'm not going
to be able to go dancing.

I'm exhausted and I have
a lot of work to do.

- Work?

- Yeah, and I'm really behind.

- [Annabeth] She
made us bring Brian.

- I know it's her way.

- I can't believe she's
trying to make you

and Jason happen again.

You know, she must
really want you

to bring a date to
her birthday party.

- Got to hand it to her,

that woman has some
serious determination.

(Annabeth laughs)

- Hey, so why did you two

ever break up anyway?

- I can't remember,
it was so long ago.

- Uh-huh.

- Okay, it was senior year

and we were both really
focused on the future.

You know, trying to figure out

where we wanted to go to college

and what we wanted to study.

We wanted to be all of that

and Jason kept asking

how we could ever be
sure about our love.

- Oh.

- But that was ages ago.

There is absolutely
no way I'm going

to date my old high
school boyfriend.

- So what are you working on?

- Grandma Dots birthday present.

- Ooh.

What is it?

- You'll find out.

- Well aren't you
just full of secrets.

(both girls laughing)

I'm going to borrow this.

- [Dot] Pen, come see,

the neighbors have
a new pool boy!

- Okay.

- And you were saying?

- She's relentless.

- The struggle is real.

- [Dot] Oh Pen, so
glad you're awake.

- [Penelope] What happened?

- The sink is clogged.

Jason was kind
enough to come help.

Anyway, I'm running a little
late for my book club.

Would you mind helping
Jason while I'm gone?

- Oh, I was just
about to go work.

- Oh, thank you dear.

You got the puzzle
and I'll be back soon.

- My grandma broke her
own sink didn't she?

- That's my guess, yeah.

- Very nice of you
for helping her.

- Of course.

- I'm sure grandmothers
will have lots of

chores for you to do.

- I am already supposed
to fix the sail

on my grandma's boat.

- Oh, that sounds
a lot more legit

than pulling dish
rags out of the sink.

- I just wanted to
apologize if my being here

is causing you any
problems at all.

- Oh.

No, no problems.

We should both be able
to visit our grandmothers

and let history be--

- History.

- Right.
- Right.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- [Penelope] So do you
actually need my help?

- No, I've got this.

- Great.

(perky music)

- We need a better idea.

- Time.

Just give it time.

- How did you clog the drain?

- Dish cloth.

- Good idea.

(perky music)

- Pen, have you met Greg?

He's my pharmacist.

I told him you were
an English teacher,

so he wrote you a poem.

- You might recognize
the inspiration.

Lily's are white,
daffodils are yellow,

I wrote you this poem
just to say hello.

- Oh.

I'm so sorry, I,

I forgot I have to go.

- Just one coffee, black please.

- [David] Yeah, no problem.

- You following me?

- I know it sure seems
like you're following me.

- Whoa, what's going on?

- I don't have time for
Grandma Dot's matchmaking

and especially not with you.

- Oh my God, I didn't know
you were going to be here.

Just trying to avoid
a date with Rhonda

who still practices
her high school cheers.

- Well I am here avoiding Greg,

the poet slash pharmacist.

- You win.

- Thank you.

- Well look, I--

- I have a lot of work, so.

But I am sure that I
will see you later.

- [David] There you go.

- Yeah, thanks man.

- Jason, please--

- Just play along.

I am so glad you
decided to call!

- What are you doing?

I just told you that I--

- You are right, this
was a great idea.

I can you leave if
you would rather

hear more of Greg's poetry.

- They followed me!

- Should I stay
or should I leave?

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

- You must have a
lot of work to do.

You know, why don't you
come back another time?

- It worked.

I can't believe that worked!

- There really is no
off button is there?

- No.

Unless we keep this up.

- Keep what up?

- This.

Pretending to date.

(Penelope laughs)

- You've got to be kidding me?

- No, if the grandma's
think we're dating,

then maybe they'll
stop introducing us

to every single person
in the 20-year age range.

Come on, you know it'll work.

Just did.

- You and me, us,

fake dating after everything?

Mm-mm.

And what do you get out of it?

- What, other than
peace and quiet?

I guess I could
probably use some help

restoring the boat.

Okay, I have my reasons.

I just got out of a very
serious relationship,

and as much as I appreciate
my grandma's constant setups,

I'm not ready yet.

Dating you would buy me
a little breathing room.

- Breathing room?

- Yeah, like time to reset.

- It's okay, I get it.

I really need time to focus on
my project distraction free.

- Right.

Grandma Dot's big birthday bash.

75 years.

- Yeah, that too.

She does really want
me to have a date.

- Whoa, whoa, what do
you mean "that too?"

- Do you promise that
this stays between us?

- I literally just
told you my secret,

so yes, absolutely.

- I'm trying to publish a book.

- That's great!

Why is that a secret?

- I just, I don't want
my family to know, okay?

There are a lot
of revisions to do

and very little time and--

- This plan would be perfect.

Think about it,
there's no more setups,

no more blind dates,
no more broken sinks.

And it won't be like it used to

because we're just pretending.

It's just for the summer.

- Just for the summer?

- Just for the summer.

It'll be fine.

(Dot laughing)

♪ Some kind of magic, oh yeah

- Everybody's look at us

- That means it's
working, right?

(Josie gasps)

- [Penelope] So, here we go.

- Hi!

- Oh hey!

- Oh, I had no idea!

So, when did it happen?

- At the park.
- At the marina.

- At the marina.
- At the park.

- [Jason] We kept
running into each other,

it was what it was.
- There's talking.

- Just so much to catch up on.

- Yeah, and we both find out
that we still love sailing.

- Oh, that's wonderful.

- Yeah, Pen loves it.

It's actually her passion.

- Oh, I don't know if I'd
say it's quite my passion.

- I thought you did.

- No, I didn't'.

- Well, we were going
to sail around the lake

and fix up the boat together.

- We are?

- Yeah, that's what
we talked about Penny.

Pen, right?

No distractions, get away.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

- [Penelope] No distractions.

- Oh boy, you two
sure played it coy.

(women laughing)

But you've finally
come to your senses.

- Oh, you know.

- Yeah, oh, say,

why don't the two
of you come with

Annabeth and me tomorrow
to meet the caterer

for my birthday party?

- No, you.

Grandma we'd love to do that

but actually we have a date--

- Date, it's a date.

- Oh!
- Wonderful.

- [Penelope] Yeah.

- What are you doing?

- [Penelope] What?

- On your date.

- We were going to go--

- Ballroom dancing!

- Right!

Actually, I meant to say,
about that I was thinking--

- We're really excited
about it, aren't we cookie?

- Cookie doesn't
look that excited.

- He's just excited about
that as I am about sailing.

- Right, we're,

we're so excited.

- Sailing?

- I thought you liked sailing.

- You like sailing, I only
went 'cause you wanted me to.

And how am I supposed
to get any work done

if I'm helping you on the boat?

- You'll write and
I'll fix the sail.

We'll tell our grandmas
we did it together.

- So I'm going to
write on the dock.

That's a really great
work environment.

- Well the real question is,

how are we possibly going to get

any work done with all this
ballroom dancing we're doing.

- I panicked.
(slow paced music)

- Now we actually have to go.

- No, we don't!

We can tell them we're
going ballroom dancing,

but instead we are going
to come down to the dock

and we're going to work.

- Well that's a great plan.

- I thought so.

- Great.

- Great.

- Hi!
(Penelope and Jason laughing)

(upbeat music)

- This one's hard.

- By the time we solve this,

it should be a piece of cake

to figure out where everybody's

going to stay for my party.

- Grandma.

How many people are
coming to your party?

- Friends or relatives?

- And how many people are
staying in this house?

- About a dozen.

- Oh, okay.

Well, we'll figure it out,

but I actually have
to go meet Jason.

- A date.

Oh how exciting!

Don't you want to

wear something a little nicer?

- Oh, no, it's just dance.

It's like practically a workout.

I think I'm good.

- Remember we'd stay in the
lake til our fingers wrinkled?

- Huh?

- When we were teenagers,

we lived in this lake.

- I'm sorry, I really
need to focus right now.

- Sorry.

- We'd be shivering but we
refused to get out of the lake.

- Feels like ages ago.

- We had a lot of fun.

- So Pen.

- Mm-hm?

- Tell me about the
book you're writing.

Sorry.

I should let you work.

- No, no.

It's about a girl that's
growing up in Michigan.

- You write what you know, huh?

Is that all you're going
to tell me about it?

- You'll just have
to wait and find out.

(slow paced music)

- At least tell my
why you don't want

your family to know about it.

- If the deal goes through,

I'm going to dedicate
it to my grandma

and give it to her
for her birthday.

She's always been the
biggest supporter of me

following my dreams.

I just hope that if
this deal comes through

it happens before the party.

- That's really thoughtful.

You could still
give her the book,

even if you haven't heard
back from the publisher yet.

- No.

I've had too many
rejection notices already.

I just, I can't risk telling
her til it's certain.

It would be too embarrassing.

- She'd still be proud of you.

- With a failed book.

If this publisher
passes and with all the

revisions that
they're requiring,

they probably will, then
it just wasn't meant to be.

- So you'd give
up on your dream?

- I'd just be facing reality.

Look, I just really don't want

anybody to know right now.

- I get it.

You are going to try to make
those revisions though right?

- I'm trying.

(slow gentle music)

- I missed summers
out here on this lake.

Reminds me what my life was like

before my parents split up.

- [Penelope] Life really
changed after that.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it was hard.

But then you just get used
to the way things are.

New normal.

So you think.

I quit my job at McGill's.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I started working there
because my parents

really wanted me to be

safe.

I didn't think it was going
to be my life, you know?

I just wanted time.

I wanted time to figure out
where I want to go next.

What I want to do.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- I brought you an herbal tea.

- Oh, thank you.

- You know, even though I
like big birthday parties,

I don't like big surprises.

- I know, it's okay.

- If you say so.

You know, I remember when
you were a little girl,

you used to sleep
over here on weekends

and stay in this room.

- It feels like yesterday.

- I am so proud of you
Pen, you know that right?

- I know.

- So, did you and
Jason have fun today?

- Yeah, it was nice.

- Good.

I'll never forget cousin
Richard's wedding.

- No!

Don't tell this again, please.

- You were about six-years-old

and there the two of you were,

standing up there
all dressed up.

- I do remember.

- After Richard said "I do,"

Jason looked right at you

and clear as a bell
said, "I do too."

- Yeah grandma, we were five.

That was a very,
very, long time ago.

- Time is nothing
on fate my dear.

What's meant to be will be.

- You are exactly right
about that grandma.

- You know, I just want
you to be happy Pen.

That's all.

And no matter what, I love you.

- I love you too.

- So, tomorrow
morning for puzzles?

- Oh, you know it.

It's on.

- [Dot] Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

(window taps)

What on earth are you doing?

- You got to come see this?

- What are you talking about?

- I'll meet you out front.

- This is crazy.

(Jason laughs)

Okay.

What?

- I bet it's even
better from the beach.

(slow gentle music)

- Oh wow.

- Biggest full moon
I've ever seen.

- [Penelope] You know, you
could've just texted me

instead of scaring
me half to death.

- Some old habits never die.

So, is tonight the
night you finally

tell me about this story
I've been hearing about?

'Cause I'm dying to know.

- Maybe.

- Consider it a bedtime story?

(Penelope laughs)

- She finds these
woods near the lake

that nobody knows about.

And she figures out that when

she's in these
woods, time stops.

- Stops.

- Yeah.
- Like completely?

- [Penelope] But
only in the woods.

- Wow.

- Right.

So she decides that
she's going to stay

because she's afraid
of growing up.

- Well, that I can relate to.

Sorry, I'm getting
into the story okay.

Does she ever find her way out?

- Well at first she makes
life for herself there,

but then yes.

She musters the courage up
and she leaves and goes home.

- Let me guess.

Everything's changed?

- Who's telling this story?

- I'm sorry.

- As I was saying,

she steps out of the woods

and time catches up fast.

She instantly becomes an adult.

She matures, she grows taller,

her face looks different.

She hadn't realized how
long she'd been gone.

- Does she ever find her family?

- Yes, but they've all
forgotten about her.

- That's a sad story.

- I know, it has a happy ending.

Or it will.

- What happens?

- You're going to have
to read it to find out.

- Come on, there's no way
you're doing that to me.

Come on.

- Okay but, seriously
you will actually

have to wait to read
it until I write it.

Or rewrite it.

That's one of the main revisions

the editor's insisting on.

- They didn't like your ending?

- Not one bit.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it doesn't feel finished.

- And you became
a literary critic

somewhere along--

- I'm not saying I
know what you meant.

- I was trying to show
how when we grow up

we have to move on.

And she has to have the
courage to face all of the--

- Well no, I get that people
would have to move on.

I understand that,

but it seems weird
that they would

actually forget about her.

- Yeah, I suppose.

- I think maybe
it's kind of like

how people tend
to remember others

at the age they last knew them.

Like our grandmas,

how they always remember
us being in high school.

(both laughing)

- Yeah, they really do.

- So maybe somebody
goes looking for her.

- Yeah, but what really
draws me to this story

is how she builds
this life for herself

and it's how she
develops courage.

- So maybe he doesn't find her.

Maybe he gets lost too.

It's a way to show that
she wasn't forgotten.

Maybe he doesn't find her
until they both come back.

- And so she hadn't realized
that he'd looked for her.

- Maybe.

It could happen.

I'm sure you've got a
better solution than that.

- No, I actually think there's
really something to this.

And I have to figure
out how it effects

the rest of the story.

- Kind of feel like I
just saw a light bulb

come on over your head.

- I think that's
called the moon.

(Penelope laughing)

Well thanks for showing me.

- Yeah.

- Think I might go
back to bed now.

(slow guitar solo)

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

♪ She was walking on the moon

♪ And then she said

♪ Don't you worry

♪ Along the road

- I just talked to
my mom on the phone.

She says "Hi, love you,"

and they'll be here for
Dot's birthday party.

- That's great honey.

I can hardly wait to see them.

Is that a full moon in
the middle of a lake?

- No, I see it.

It's a daisy, right?

- Yeah!

Does it look all right?

- You should make a
bunch of little ones

to go around the edges.

- That's not a bad idea.

- Didn't realize you
turned your artistic

talents to pie dough.

- Oh, helping you bake pies

is one of my favorite memories.

Making a little extra
pieces of crust into shapes.

Baking them in
cinnamon and sugar.

- I do that every summer!

- Ooh, well I haven't done
a lot of dough work since.

Okay.

Does that look like a daisy?

- You should be an artist.

- You should see
his boat drawings.

- You draw boats?

- I once thought about designing
sailboats for a living.

Still do it for fun sometimes.

- What happened?

- Well, my mom thought I should

pursue something more practical.

- [Lily] That's how you
winded up working in the city?

- Exactly.

She suggested I pursue something

that allows me to
afford my passions.

- That sounds like diet food.

- What?

- Like when you're biting
into a chocolate chip cookie,

but all the good stuff is
replaced with chemicals.

(Jason laughs)

- You're going to need
to cover the edges.

- I don't remember
you doing that.

- Well I didn't often
bake with such artistry.

But when you do, you've
got to manage the baking

so you don't burn all
these lovely details.

- All right.

- Yay!

- See Jason, try as you might,

but you got nothing on grandma.

- Oh, is that so?

Well, if I were you I
would start running.

'Cause I will catch you,

and when I do, I will
throw you into that lake!

(Jason laughing)
(perky music)

You think you're faster than me!

- [Lily] Yeah.

- [Jason] You are so far!

- [Lily] Like I said,
you're too slow!

- Enough already.
- Hi.

- [Dot] What are you
working on so hard

during your vacation?

- Oh, you know, just
all those lesson plans

and tests and things like that.

- You always were
such a hard worker.

I don't mean to boast, but
I think you get it from me.

- Oh, well I'm honored.

- Although, your grandpa
was a hard worker too.

Did I ever tell you
about the time we met?

- No, but he did.

He said he fell in love with you

the moment he set
his eyes on you.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- [Dot] Well, it wasn't mutual.

I thought he was horrible.

He was arrogant and
just plain rude.

- Oh.

Well he told me
that you guys met at

the college bookstore
buying textbooks.

- We did.

I reached up for the last
biology book on the shelf,

but he was so tall he leaned
over me and grabbed it first.

So I did a quick turn
and a little elbow

and I thrust all the rest
of my books in his arms

and I said, "If you're going
to carry my biology book

"you might as well
carry all my books."

- Oh, well what a spitfire.

I'm sure he fell in love
with you right there.

- Naturally.

- So what happened?

- Well he started
to talk back to me

but I put my hands on my hips

and I gave him the look.

- Oh, you already had
your teacher face.

- Oh yeah.

And then his face burst
into that grin he had.

But he saw I was
having none of it.

(Penelope laughs)

So he marched all my
books up to the cashier,

and then he just
stood there, grinning.

I just thought he was rude.

- Okay, but, I know this part.

Didn't he walk you
home with your books?

- Well, they were very
heavy books, so yes.

I let him walk me home.

It's the least he could do.

- So what happened then?

- On the way he apologized

for not having noticed me.

And he said he had been working
full-time to pay for school

and he was so tired.

But then he said he would never

not notice me again.

- Awe, that's really sweet.

So he wasn't that bad after all?

- Exactly.

So I gave him a chance.

You know, I'm thinking
about him a lot lately.

Because of the party.

I wish he could be here for it.

- You know, I don't
think grandpa would mind

if you met somebody.

- Hold on, I know
where you're going.

- Maybe you are the
person who needs

a date to your
big birthday bash.

- And you went there?
- George.

- [Dot] Missy, you leave
the matchmaking to me.

Okay.

- [Penelope] Okay.

- Love you.
- Love you too.

- [Penelope] Thank you.

- [Dot] Don't work too hard.

(Jason laughing)

- [Jason] You got to go faster!

Nice--

(Penelope gasps)

(both laughing)

- You startled me.

Sorry.

- Sorry about that.

Just thought I would bring
you a snack while you worked.

- Oh, that's really
sweet of you.

Thank you.

- Actually, your grandma
saw you sitting out here

and insisted I bring it to you.

I shouldn't have said that.

I should've just taken the
compliment shouldn't I?

- [Penelope] Well that's
very sweet of her.

- They're eating the pie.

- That's great!

That's just great!

- I'm just going to sit
here for another minute

because she's definitely
still watching us,

but I promise not to bother you.

- Okay, thank you.

- I made the pie for myself,

but she insisted
I bring it to you.

- Well you can eat it.

- Oh, I just,

I didn't want you to
think I was like weird

just bringing you a random
pie out of the blue.

- Gotcha.

- I remembered that you
always like cinnamon

so I put a little
bit in the crust,

but don't tell anyone.

That's a secret ingredient.

What's wrong with page 43?

- Absolutely everything.

- You really should
try some of that pie

while it's still warm.

(Penelope sighs)

I'm sorry, I said I
wasn't going to bother you

and I am.

- No, it's okay.

I really need to take a break

and here you are with pie.

- Okay.

- Aren't you going to slice it?

- Slices are for amateurs
who like washing dishes.

(Penelope laughs)

- Okay.

You are definitely
better at this than I am.

- Years of practice.

- Mm, that is so good.

Mm!
(Jason laughing)

- Cheers.

- What are we cheersing to?

- You.

Your book, your book.

- Shh!

- Your book is going
to be incredible.

- No it's not
because it's probably

never going to happen.

- What makes you say that?

- Because now the editor wants
me to change the setting,

apparently the woods
are too spooky,

which I don't even
get, but whatever.

I mean, maybe it's just
time to throw in the towel.

- Oh, come on, don't say that.

You're going to
figure something out.

- No, I really don't think I am.

I am way too attached
to this story.

- Okay, look at it this way.

You're not changing the story
because you're selling out.

You're changing the
story because you want

other people to find the
same joy in it that you do.

- Yeah, except that probably
nobody's going to read it

because it's very hard for new
authors that are starting out

and I am just,

I'm out of ideas
for now at least.

- Have you tried
hanging upside down?

- Excuse me?

- Okay, follow me.

When I'm stuck, I like
to hang upside down.

It gets the blood
moving to your brain,

it gets the ideas flowing.

- What are you doing?

- [Jason] I'm looking
for a good place to hang.

- I'm not hanging upside down.

This is very serious.

- Okay.

Why don't we row out to the
little island like we used to?

It might have the same effect,
(slow gentle music)

I don't know.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- I'm coming back
for you later pie.

All right.

Do you remember how to do this?

- Oh yeah, it's been a minute.

See?

- [Penelope] I'm very impressed.

- Okay, the woods
are too spooky.

- Yeah.

But so is a cave and
an old abandoned house.

It's just, it's
really frustrating.

The setting is
everything to the story.

- Well maybe it needs to
be more personal then.

- Yeah, like some place
that's normally really safe

until she gets to know
this new side of it.

That could work, but where?

- When you told me about
the story the other night,

it reminded me that
we used to play

on that island when
we were little kids.

(Penelope laughing)

- We used to spend
so much time there.

That's perfect.

That's completely perfect.

A little island on the outside

and then this secret
world on the inside.

(slow gentle music)

I hate to admit it,

you did kind of probably come up

with the perfect
solution to my story.

- It's your dream,

I'm just here to support.

- Excuse me!

I don't mean to
interrupt your date.

- Oh, it's okay.

Jason was just leaving.

- Oh no!

Well I'm sure he'd rather
stay here and help us.

Wouldn't you Jason?

- What are we doing?

- Pen and Annabeth will
be making party favors.

And you can help me address
the event reminders.

- I don't remember the last time

I addressed an actual envelope.

- Well, it'll be fun.

- [Jason] It'll be fun.

- Oh, don't forget
to put the glitter in

before you seal it.

- Right, right.

- Daisies.

- What?

- She likes daisies.

And ice cream, she
loves ice cream.

- Oh.

Good to know.
(Dot chuckles)

- Who's coming from Thailand?

- My life coach.

- Suddenly really glad you
prefer Pen over Penelope.

(women laugh)

- Yeah.

Alexander is too long.

I'm going to go with Alex.

- I'd even go with Al.

- Well, leave it to
grandma to come up

with the most extravagant
party favor, ever.

- You know, Jason should
be the one doing this.

He's the artist.

I couldn't believe
it when I heard

that he's still
working at McGill's.

- What do you mean?

- Oh, his passion was
always drawing and design.

- I know that,

I mean, what do you
mean "still working?"

- I just don't think
making an investment banker

has ever made him happy.

- I mean, well he
still has other things.

- You spend all
this time with him

and you don't know
what his interests are?

- Oh, no.

It's just that we've been

so busy talking about boats

and work and grandmas.

- Nice try.

What does Jason like
to do on the weekends?

- What's with the third degree?

- You don't know do you?

- I do.

I told you, we've
just been really busy

talking about other things.

- Like how you think
you're fooling everyone?

- Does anybody else know?

- I'm the only one
who suspects you.

As far as I know.

That's a rotten trick Pen.

- No, it's not like that.

We both just sort of,

we're just so sick
of the matchmaking

and we needed a break.

- I get it.

And I can see it's actually
a pretty brilliant plan.

- [Penelope] Right?

- It's definitely the only thing

that I can see working.

- [Dot] How's it
going in there girls?

- Oh, great!
- Almost done!

- [Annabeth] Yeah.

- So you won't tell?

- I'll keep your secret,

but just be really careful
that no one gets hurt.

- No, I would never
hurt the grandmas.

- I mean you or Jason.

(Penelope laughs)

- No, we're, oh no.

We are so, we are
so clear that we are

not interested in
a relationship.

You know?

- Okay.

But you two have history.

You should probably
make peace about it.

And you should definitely
get to know each other more

because high school
was a long time ago

and you were completely
different people back then.

- I guess you might
be right about that,

but

you are writing
Aunt Caroline's name

with an L-I-N-E

and not an L-Y-N?

(Annabeth groans)
(Penelope laughs)

- [Annabeth] Took me
forever to do this!

(gear cranking)

- Okay, I got the sail fixed.

Can't seem to get
the mast stable.

- Heads up, Annabeth
figured us out.

She wont' tell.

- I guess people are ready
for level two dating then huh?

(Penelope laughs)

- Level two dating?

- Yeah, past the
initial awkward stages.

Where the you and
me become a we.

We're a us.

- I get it Jason.

All Annabeth was
suggesting is that

we get down some of
the simple facts.

Like what do you like
to do on the weekends,

do you have pets?

You know, that kind of thing.

- That's definitely level two.

- It's funny because it
feels like we know each other

but really we don't.

- You're a teacher
and an aspiring writer

living in an
apartment in the city.

Your favorite food is ice cream,

but I don't know what flavor.

On the weekends you like to read

and you're a coffee connoisseur.

- You've been paying attention.

- You like sailing and baking.

What happened to your art?

- I actually started
drawing again recently.

I'm designing boats,

but just as an amateur.

- Oh, but have you
ever considered doing
it professionally?

- I'm not good enough for that.

Yet.

- What else?

- I have a cat.

My friends takes care
of him while I'm gone.

- That's sweet.

- Yeah, he was a rescue.

He's got one kind
of squinty eye.

His name's Popeye.

- Good name.

But Jason, you were so talented.

And you have always
been such a hard worker,

there is no reason why you
shouldn't pursue your dream.

- Not now.

It's not the right time.

- Why?

You don't have a
career that you're

tied down to at the moment.

Really, you're free
to do anything.

- There's something else you
should probably know about me.

I was engaged.

- Oh.

Engaged like past tense?

- Most definitely past tense.

Turns out she
loved the lifestyle

my job afforded us more than me.

- Must've been
really devastating.

- It was.

Made me rethink
everything in my life.

Question all my choices, again.

- Well,

we all need to adjust
our sails sometimes.

Maybe you're just
getting back on course.

- I see what you did
there by the way.

- [Penelope] Yeah?

- Weaving everything
back to sailing.

- Did you like that?

- [Jason] Yeah, it was good.

You're such an English teacher.

- Or a writer.

- Double trouble.

- I have to go help
grandma with dinner,

but see ya later?
(slow gentle music)

(door knocking)
- [Jason] Anybody home?

- Hey!

Just a second.

- You're working hard.

- Yeah, ever since our
brainstorming session

the ideas have been flowing.

- Really?

That's great!

- What is it?

- I just wish you'd tell her.

- If the deal goes through
I'm going to tell her,

but it just doesn't
mean anything

if it doesn't get published.

- Yes it does.

It means everything.

- Hello my little lovebirds.

Are you here to help
decorate for the party?

- Oh, I think we were--

- Actually, I was
thinking we could

go set up the boom today.

If you're interested.

- But if you need
my help grandma,

I can stay and help you.

- Oh, no, don't worry.

Aunt Caroline's coming over.

You two go have fun.

- We don't actually have to go,

I just know you
need time to write.

- No, actually I'd
really like some air.

- Great.

Come on.

(tense music)

Okay, hold her steady.

Wow.

Okay, this is not
my strong suit.

- [Penelope] You can't give
up, you're so close now.

- Don't know what else to try.

- Is there some
place around here

that you can hang upside down
and get the blood flowing?

Or maybe--

- Oh!

Whoa.

- Whoa?

- No, no, no, I know this look.

No, don't you dare.

- Have you been in the
lake yet this summer?

It could really help.

- You're feeling brave huh?

You push me in, I'm
taking you with me.

- Fine.

Fine.

- They really think
they're fooling us!

(women laughing)

(Jason laughing)

(Penelope laughs)

- I'm sorry.

I remember these little
boats in a bottle

that you used to make.

I really loved these.

- Grandma Josie was
smart to teach me that.

That took up a lot of my time.

- I can't believe how
many you made of these.

- Yeah.

- Are these your designs?

- Yeah, yeah.

Some of these are pretty old.

- These are beautiful.

- Thank you.

- These are really good.

You should submit
these somewhere.

- I'm not nearly as
bold as you are Pen.

(Penelope laughs)

No, I'm serious.

I look at you now and you
are publishing a book.

That's really inspiring.

I always kind of
felt like you were

the courageous one
between the two of us.

(Penelope laughs)

- What?
- What?

- [Penelope] You're
serious right now?

- [Jason] Yeah.

- No, you were the
person that was

always getting me to do the
very stupid, crazy things.

Like, oh, sailing.

Or that one time
you made me walk on

a very frozen lake.

- It was not a wise choice.

- No, it was very

courageous and

I did it because of you.

- Well I did it because of you.

I always kind of felt like I
was more when I was with you.

After high school,

I really wanted to find you

and explain or try to explain.

- What do you mean?

- I really thought I was doing
the right thing at the time.

Graduation was coming up

and I was freaking
out about my future

and my parents had
gotten a divorce.

I didn't really

have a good idea of what
a relationship should be.

- I mean, it could
have been nice to find

something in the middle
between all and nothing, but--

- I did finally
realize my mistake.

I looked you up and
came back that summer.

- Wait.

Wait you came back here to...

- Kept a pretty low
profile, but I saw you.

You were with that guy.

- Kyle?

You just up and
left unexpectedly

and disappeared and
never explained.

Was I just supposed to be
waiting around for you?

- No, no I didn't expect
you to wait for me, I--

- Relationship, talk to me,

instead of disappearing again.

- Would it have
made a difference?

- Yeah, well...

I mean it might have back then.

(slow gentle music)

But it really, it
was so long ago.

It just does not matter.

- All right.

- Awe again!

This is so sweet
with Pen and Dot!

You should give this to
her as a birthday gift.

Or even better, let
me buy it from you

and I'll give it to her.

- How much are you
paying me for it?

- For a sketch of this quality,

I can go as high as say

a buck 50.

- This drink cost twice that.

- Yeah, but that's branding.

You're a new artist,
and if I'm not mistaken,

this is your first sale.

- It doesn't sound like
it's your first time buying.

- My parents are both lawyers,

I've learned to negotiate.

(slow gentle music)

You have an awful lot
of pictures of Pen.

Were you practicing
or something?

- Yeah, something.

Hey, how much will it cost

to keep that between
the two of us?

- I'll keep your
practice pictures secret.

- And?

- And you strop threatening
to throw me in the lake.

I mean, I don't know
why you even try.

You can't catch me.

See?

You're way too slow.

So, are we calling it a deal?

- Yeah, it's a deal.

- [Penelope] Did you order me--

- Cinnamon toast, buttered
on both sides with no crust.

- How'd you remember that?

- It's pretty hard to forget.

It's like the only thing
you ever ate after school.

You going to sit?

- Yes.

- So I figured we both
could get some stuff done

and the grandmas
think we're on a date.

Does that work?

- It's perfect, thank you.

(slow gentle music)

- Thanks!
- Bye!

- [Penelope] I'm done!

- As in, done done?

- Yeah!

(Jason laughing)

(Penelope screams)

When'd it get so late?

- I know.

- I can't believe I got all
the revisions done on time.

You know, I really
wouldn't have been able

to finish them without
you, so thank you.

- Happy to help.

Did you send it?

- I did!

I don't know how long
it's going to take now,

but I'm really proud.

- You should be.

(light music)

- Pack up!

- Yeah.
- Okay.

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh

- What do you think
about this for grandma?

- Mm, nah.

She has tons of
beachy shell stuff.

I still think you should
write something for her.

You know how she
loves your stories.

So, what's the
latest with Jason?

- He...

- Yes, he's what?

- Nevermind, look at this.

- Don't change the subject.

You know, considering the
history between you two--

- It's not all good history.

- And that you
spend every minute

of the last two weeks together.

- Not every minute.

- It's totally understandable

that you've developed
feelings for him.

- I told you, we are just
becoming friends again.

- Admit it, it's more than that.

Have you told him how you feel?

- I don't think
that we're looking

for the same things right now.

- Of course you are.

You know, you can't just wait

for the universe to
do everything for you.

Or grandma.

If you want something,
you got to go out

and you got to get it.

But you know that.

- See, I do have this,

this sense of knowing him.

Like really deeply knowing him,

but then on the other
hand I feel like

I don't know him at all.

So far every time he
has come into my life

and every time I have
started to care about him

he's disappeared.

Abruptly.

So how am I supposed
to know that this time

would be any different

and he's not pretending

and that maybe he would
actually stick around?

- Well he does keep coming
back into your life.

- Just because he's
the boy next door

doesn't mean that we are
fated to be together.

- It's because you bring
out the best in each other.

That's why you belong together.

(Annabeth gasps)

- What?

- I just found

Grandma Dot's birthday present.

- That's perfect.

- I'm getting it.

It's so good.

- I have to figure
out how to hang up

the sheet for a screen.

- [Penelope] I
think it could work.

- Yeah.

- What are you two up to?

- Do you like movies?

- Well of course.

- Well we have a
surprise for you.

Just wait.
- Oh!

- [Jason] You'll see.

- [Dot] How long
do I have to wait?

(perky music)

(people chattering)

♪ Summer In Love

Or.

- "Zombie In My Basement."

(Josie screams)
(Dot gasps)

- Oh, oh.
(Josie laughs)

Zombie.

- Zombie!

- [Man] I don't think
we should go in there.

- [Woman] We need to split
up, I got to find Jane.

- [Man] We haven't seen
Jane for a bit, okay.

She'll catch up, she's smart!

- [Woman] I can't go
in there without her!

- [Man] Well look, as
long as we stick together

we'll find Jane.

- [Woman] The zombies car.

- [Man] Just relax.

- [Woman] Oh my God!

- [Man] We can't do that okay.

It's so dark in here.

- [Woman] Okay, well hold me.

(everyone gasping)

(film clicking)

- [Man] Look, I know it's
only been a few weeks,

but I'm having very
strong feelings for you.

But your parents.

- I can't believe
that Jason put all

this together for grandma.

Why didn't we think of
doing something like this?

It's so much fun.

- He's a really good guy.

- He likes you.

Actually it's pretty
clearly more than like.

- I told you--

- Especially flavored
homemade ice cream.

And that's not pretending.

I'm just saying.

I think you should
tell him how you feel.

- What did I miss?

- Well, this ice
cream is amazing.

- Hey, you're the one
brave enough to try it.

- Speaking of brave.

- Excuse me!

Jason.

- One second.

- Yeah.

Well, I guess there
will be another time.

(upbeat music)

(Jason laughing)

- [Jason] I can't believe
it's finally done!

(Penelope screams)

- [Penelope] That's so awesome!

- Is there any word about...
- Are going to...

- [Penelope] I'm sorry.

You go first.

- Any word from
your publisher yet?

- No, not yet.

And I think that this
waiting might actually

be harder than writing a novel.

- Yeah.

Well I hope I delivered
on my pledge to help.

- You really did.

This has all been so helpful.

This lake, the quiet.

You.

I've really been able to focus.

I just wish that I
could stay here forever.

- Yeah.

I get that.

So I submitted a blueprint

to the boat design competition.

- Yay, Jason!

I'm so proud of you!

- Yeah, we'll see what happens.

Either way, I'm going
to pursue it further.

I even looked up some contacts

and some classes
that might help me.

- That's awesome.

- Yeah, and I couldn't,

I wouldn't have
done it without you.

Like I said before,
you really inspire me.

You,

you had something to say.

And I interrupted you.

I'm so sorry, please.
- Right.

- [Penelope] It's just,

it's about getting to know
you again this summer.

- You really helped me.

- I haven't--

- No, no, no, you have.

After Michele called
off our engagement,

I guess I was just shocked

about how blindsided I got.

And then I had this realization.

It wasn't her fault, it was me.

'Cause I had been on autopilot
for a really long time.

I needed to figure out
what made me happy.

So our pretend
arrangement has given

me the time to do that.

- Totally, I get that.

- There was something
you wanted to say?

I'm not going to
interrupt again.

- I just wanted to
say I'm really happy

that we're friends again.

- Me too.

Shall we head back?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

(slow gentle music)

- So.

- Yes.

- How's Pen?

I knew it!

- Knew what?

- Jason grinned.

- So?

- You love her!

He loves her.

- He always has dear.

- No, it's not--

- Come on!

I know, you know, Grandma knows.

Everyone knows!

- Lily dear, I forgot
the lemon for the tea.

Would you go get it?

- Sure thing grandma,

but I can't wait
until I'm old enough

to stick around for
these conversations.

- We're better off as friends.

- You and Pen need to
take your relationship

to the next level.

I promise, it won't
be like Michelle.

- I thought I was
in love before.

- But you can trust Pen.

- I don't trust myself.

It doesn't matter though,

Pen and I, you know,

we're not meant to be.

- That's crazy talk.

The two of you--

- No, we had a chance at
a point, but it's over.

And Pen, she's got
this great life

and these goals that
she's pursuing and...

You know what, I am actually
glad that we're friends.

Anything more than that
would just complicate things.

I would never forgive
myself if I hurt her again.

- What'd I miss?

(slow gentle music)

- [Annabeth] Pen?

- Hey.

- The sun's setting,
the party's starting.

Don't tell me you're
working again.

- Oh, I was just checking on
an update about my present.

- Well what is it?

- It's nothing.

I was hoping...

You know, we should get going.

(light gentle upbeat music)

- Oh hey Chad!

Oh look, there's grandma!

Grandma!

What?

- He's so cute!
- He's so cute!

- [Annabeth] I'm
going to go see Chad.

Go find Jason.

- Yeah.

Mom, hey!

- Sweetheart!

- [Penelope] You made it.

- Traffic was a disaster
but I'm finally here.

- I was starting to worry.

- I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.

Now, what are these
rumors that I'm

hearing about you and Jason?

- They're just rumors.

You know, how grandma
loves to play matchmaker.

- [Mother] Is that a
champagne fountain?

- Oh yes, most definitely.

- Mom really outdid herself.

- Oh hey, have you seen Jason?

- Nope, haven't seen him.

- Have fun.

- Hey, are you okay?

- Have you seen

Liam?

- Who is that?

- That might be Grandma
Dot's birthday present.

- He's a little young, but.

- Hey!

- Sorry to interrupt
your grandmother's party.

- No, don't be sorry.

What's up?

- I drove out here because

I wanted to tell you personally

because I know how hard
you've been working.

- [Penelope] Just
tell me already.

- Congratulations Penelope.

(Penelope screams)

- What?

- [Penelope] This is--

- Champagne!

- Yes, yes!

- Okay but, would somebody
tell me what's going on?

- I got to find her soon.

Jason!

Jason!

- Jason!

- Honey, what's happened?

- I'm not really sure.

- Well, where did Jason go?

Did you two have a fight?

The relationship
was going so well.

- Grandma I'm really sorry
to have to do this to you,

but I need to tell
you something.

- Should I sit down?

- [Penelope] Yeah.

- [Dot] Okay.

- Jason, why aren't you
coming to the party?

- I am really trying to do
the right thing right now.

- Honey, it would seem
to me the right thing

is to come to the party.

- I love her.

- I know!

But I'm not the one
you have to tell.

- Grandma, there's.

You don't understand, there's
so much more going on.

And I won't be the guy
who gets in the way

of Pen pursuing her dreams.

- Jason, I don't
completely understand

but I do know that if you
don't come back to the party

and tell her how you
feel, you'll regret it.

The two of you have been dating

and it's so clear--

- Yeah, Grandma, about that.

I have a confession to make.

- Jason and I wanted to
make you and Josie happy.

And full disclosure,

give ourselves a
bit of a break and

we've been pretending--

- To date.

Yes, we know.

It's all part of
the plan my dear.

- The plan?

- Well Josie and I knew
that the two of you

would never come together

unless you thought
it was your idea.

And we knew you'd
never get around to it,

so we just gave it a little--

- Push?

- Nudge.

- Wait.

The pharmacist, the bakery,

the kitchen sink, all of it?

- Oh, even the broken
mast on the boat.

- All part of--

- Bringing you two together.

Yes dear.

- Grandma I'm so so glad

that you are on my side.

And you have a, dare I say,

a cunning and devious
streak in you, don't you?

- I'd make a good spy.

But I prefer to be a grandma.

- Hey, there's a party
going on you know.

Sorry, do you need more time?

- No, actually,
you should probably

hear this next part.

So Jason and I
were pretending but

I actually fell for him.

I have feelings for Jason.

And as you can clearly see

he does not have those
same feelings for me.

- Oh that's nonsense!

All you need to do is
just give him a chance.

- [Penelope] I have
given him a chance.

- Can you give me another.

- I thought you were leaving?

- I was going to.

I thought you were
just pretending.

I don't want to
complicate things for you

and I never want to
hurt you ever again.

And I know that
you need your space

and you have your dreams, but,

it's never been
pretend for me Pen.

From when we were
little kids to just now.

I always thought of
this place as home,

but it didn't feel like
that until you got here.

It's always been you Pen.

And it's always been real.

And if it's real for you too

then I'm never leaving.

- Really?

Because it is so real.

- I love you Pen.

- I love you too, Jason.

(everyone gasping)

- Yeah!

- I have one more confession.

- [Dot] Oh, what else is there?

What else could there be!

- It's about your
birthday present.

- Oh okay, that I don't
know anything about.

- Well good, good.

So,

this is Liam, he's my editor.

- [Josie And Dot] Oh!

- I wrote a book

and it's getting published!

- Yes, congratulations!

- That is wonderful!

- And,

grandma, I dedicated it to you.

And it says, "To my
matchmaking Grandma Dot.

"Having you as my grandma has
been a match made in heaven."

I am so thankful

you have loved me
beyond all measure

and all doubt.

I love you.

- I love you too!

Congratulations.
