Penny X Ben

**Penny X Ben** is a romantic ship between Penny Morris and Ben Hooper. In series 9, it was one of the most hinted ships due to Penny appearing to have a soft spot for Ben.

**Please note:** This is a fan-made pairing, it is NOT official or has been confirmed!

## Special Moments

### Season 9

* In "**All At Sea**" When Penny sees Ben for the first time, her mouth drops open, she was obviously love-struck by his appearance. After the rescue, Penny can be seen staring at Ben and smiling.

* In " **The Pontypandy Cup**" Penny was chatting to Ben whilst the two and Sam were doing ocean drills. Throughout the episode, Penny and Ben kept laughing and teasing with Sam after he kept falling into the sea or getting splashed with water.
* In "**Turtle Hunt**" when Ben explains they can see what the turtle is doing through the camera, Penny tells him that is brilliant.
* In "**The Treasure Trap**" Ben tells Penny what a great job she's doing and tells her she's really good. Penny then hesitates and thanks him, she then says "you're not so bad yourself". She then appears to get nervous and says "any way's, over and spouse... I mean out!" and Ben smiles (this is a strong hint that the writers could be up to something with these two).

### Season 10

* In "**Paddle On**" Penny can be seen performing first aid on Ben after he injures his shoulder.
* In "**The Treasure of Pontypandy Pete**" When the professor says "it's a shame the treasure is lost forever" Ben looks at Penny and says "lost forever Penny?" Then the two go in Neptune together to retrieve the treasure.

### Season 11

* In "**The Why Files**" at the end, Penny and Ben together away from the group.

### Season 12

* In "**Brother's Weekend**" after Mike's rescue, Penny tells Ben "good work" and puts her thumb up, Ben then smiles and replies "right back at you!"
* In "**Operation Sea Turtle**" Ben and Penny smile at each other after Ben explains the ocean cleaning campaign.

### Season 13

* In "**Sparkes In The Sky**" After Penny puts out the fire on Titan, she smiles at Ben and gives him a thumbs up as Ben smiles back at her. Ben then walks up to her and gives her a high five and says 'that was close!' and Penny smiles and nods at him.
* In **"Pontypandy Pickle Paddle"** Penny is inspecting the Ocean Rescue Center and tries to prove to Sam and Ben that she can be scary. Throughout the inspection she manages to scare both Sam and Ben whilst Sam and Ben try scaring her as well but with no luck. At the end, after the rescue, Penny has a go on Mandy and Sarah's coracle. During this, Sam grins at Ben, implying that this is their chance to get their revenge, so they both set sail on Titan and Neptune and both sail past and splashing her, causing her to get soaked. Everyone laughs, including Penny who admits that's what she deserved.

## Trivia

* In series 9, it was very clear Penny had a crush on Ben. Her jaw dropped when she first saw him in "All at Sea" and couldn't seem to stop staring at him. She also gets nervous while talking to him like in "The Treasure Trap".
* It is possible that Ben could see her in the same way, he never fails to compliment her when she's doing a great job.
* In the series 9 promo poster, Penny stood next to Ben.
* It is probably the most popular Ben shipping.
