The Descendants of Sheldon and Leonard
Chapter 1
Friday April 3, 2011 9:30 pm:
Sweating and in pain Amy Farrah Fowler-Cooper and Penny Hofstadter found themselves in the labor and delivery room at the hospital with their husbands Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper by their sides. The two women were about to give birth as the contractions were getting stronger. Howard Wolowitz and his wife Bernadette were there as well as Raj, his girlfriend Emily and Stuart.
" 1,2,3! Push!"
Screams filled the air as Penny and Amy began to push.
" I'm going to kill you for doing this to me Leonard!", Penny screamed.
" Penny shut up!", Amy screamed.
" You're doing great! Keep pushing!"
" Good Lord woman! Quit your d**n screaming!", Sheldon said.
" Would you shut it over there Mr. Whackadoodle?! You're not helping the cause!", Penny screamed.
" Well you're not helping the cause by screaming at me Penny!", Sheldon said.
" Sheldon!", Leonard shouted.
" Uh Sheldon you are so going to be the death of me!", Amy screamed.
" One more big push! Come on!"
The two women gave one final push letting out ear-splitting screams that filled the room but then they were replaced by the sound of two babies crying.
" It's a girl!", the two nurses exclaimed, throwing their hands in the air in celebration. Once the two baby girls were dried off they were given back to their respective parents.
" Hi sweetie!", Penny cooed.
" I can't believe we're parents! I love you Penny!", Leonard said as kissed his wife.
" Look what we created together Sheldon!", Amy said as she smiled at Sheldon.
" I know and I couldn't be happier! I love you Amy!", Sheldon said as he kissed her.
" Does this little girl have a name?", the nurse asked Penny.
" Might I suggest the name Nova. It symbolizes the birth of a star.", Raj said.
" It's perfect Raj!", Penny said as happy tears formed in her eyes.
" Hey Sheldon what's your daughter's name?", Leonard asked.
" Matteron.", Sheldon said as he looked down at his daughter with a smile on his face.
" I love it.", Amy said.
" I love you.", Sheldon said as he kissed his wife again.
" Congratulations you guys.", Stuart said.
" Thanks Stuart.", Sheldon and Leonard said.
Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper and Nova Tina Hofstadter were born Saturday April 4, 2011 2:45 am. Since day one the girls have been raised in the same apartment building across the hall from each other in 4B and 4A. But one day 2 weeks after their 16th birthday Amy and Sheldon started talking about plans to move to Texas to be closer to Sheldon's family. When they told their daughter about this Matteron became very upset.
" Texas?! Are you kidding me?!", Matteron shouted.
" Your dad wants to be closer to his family Matteron.", Amy said.
" I can't believe you want to separate me and Nova after we have been growing up together for years! How can you do this to me?! You know what mom I'm giving you and dad an ultimatum, we either stay in Pasadena or I will no longer be in the picture! I hate you!", Matteron shouted.
" Don't you dare say things like that Matteron!", Sheldon shouted.
" I don't want to hear it dad! Come hell and high water there's nothing you can say or do that will ever make me leave Nova behind! She's my best friend!", Matteron shouted as she stormed out into the hallway slamming the door behind her. She repeatedly hit her fist against the wall as she started to cry. Her long brunnette hair fell in front of her face. It was at this time that Nova came out of her apartment across the hall and said, " Matteron are you ok?"
" No Nova I'm upset!", Matteron cried as she stared at her best friend. Nova's long ombre blonde and black curly hair hung down over her shoulders.
" You want to tell me about it?", Nova said.
" My mom and dad want us to move to Texas!", Matteron cried.
" What?! They can't do that!", Nova shockingly said.
" I know that's why I gave them an ultimatum! I said we either stay in Pasadena or I won't be in the picture anymore!", Matteron cried. Nova immediately knew what her best friend meant by that.
" No dude don't do that!", Nova said.
" What choice do I have Nova?! I don't want to live in this world without you in my life!", Matteron cried.
" I got a better idea.", Nova whispered.
" What is it?", Matteron whispered.
" You and I run away.", Nova whispered.
" Run away? As in run away from home?", Matteron whispered. Nova nodded her head.
" But where would we go?", Matteron whispered.
" I don't know. Where ever I decide we go.", Nova whispered.
" I don't know. It seems so wrong.", Matteron whispered.
" But...?", Nova whispered.
" But it feels so right.", Matteron whispered as she smiled at her best friend. The two girls grabbed each other's hands with smiles on their faces.
" Tonight when our parents go to sleep, we're out of here Matteron.", Nova whispered. Matteron nodded her head in agreement. Later that evening just as planned the girls wrote goodbye notes to their parents, grabbed a few sentimental things and met up with each other in the hallway outside of their apartments.
" You ready Matteron?", Nova whispered.
" Yeah. Let's do this before I regret this.", Matteron whispered.
" Well this is it Matteron. We say goodbye to our homes.", Nova whispered.
" Yep. Wait a minute how are we going to get out of here?", Matteron whispered.
" Duh we're going to take my car.", Nova whispered.
" Of course! I am so stupid!", Matteron whispered.
" No you're not! You're a genius like your dad! Now come on let's go!", Nova whispered as the girls grabbed their things and walked down the stairs. They walked out of the building toward Nova's car, got in and drove away. As Nova was driving through the dark streets of Pasadena she played the song Burning in the skies by Linkin Park on the stereo. But as they were leaving the city Matteron suddenly began to get emotional again.
" Matteron are you ok?", Nova asked.
" No!", Matteron cried.
" Is this about your mom and dad?", Nova asked.
" No this has nothing to do with my mom and dad Nova!", Matteron cried.
" Then what is it?", Nova asked. Then she noticed something on her best friend's arm but couldn't really see it in the dark so she turned on the light and was shocked to see that Matteron's arm was covered in scars all the way to the palm of her hand. Nova could see it on the other arm as well.
" Dude have you been deliberately hurting yourself?!", Nova worriedly asked. Matteron nodded her head as she continued to cry.
" Why would you do that?!", Nova worriedly asked.
" Because I'm sick of everything Nova! I hate my life!", Matteron cried.
" Where's this coming from Matteron?!", Nova worriedly asked.
" It's everyone at school! Nobody likes me! And this one kid told me that I would never be as smart as my dad!", Matteron cried.
" That's ridiculous! Who is this kid to tell you that you're not as smart as your dad?! You're the smartest girl I know!", Nova shouted.
" So are you Nova! Your dad's a physicist too!", Matteron cried.
" How long have you been doing this to yourself Matteron?!", Nova worriedly asked.
" Since the day we started school!", Matteron cried. Nova was completely shocked that her best friend in the entire world was doing this.
" Matteron this is scary! Do your parents know about this?!", Nova worriedly asked.
" They never found out Nova!", Matteron cried.
" You need to tell them what's bothering you.", Nova said.
" I can't!", Matteron cried.
" Why not?", Nova asked.
" Because I'm worried that they won't listen to me!", Matteron cried.
" Dude they're your parents! They love you!", Nova said.
" Sometimes I feel like they don't!", Matteron cried.
" Why would you even think that you whackadoodle?!", Nova asked.
" I don't want to talk about this!", Matteron cried. Nova pulled her car over to the side of the road and put it in park.
" Come here.", Nova said as the girls got out of the car.
" Now I know you don't really like this but...", Nova said as she wrapped her arms around Matteron. Matteron slowly wrapped her arms around Nova and cried, " It's ok! I can tolerate it! You are my bestest friend in the whole world Nova Hofstadter!"
" You too Matteron Fowler-Cooper.", Nova said. The girls got back in the car and continued on their way. As they continued their journey Nova said, " Hey I got something that will cheer you up."
" What is it?", Matteron asked. Nova turned on the song True Colors by Cyndi Lauper and began singing the words. Surprisingly Nova's singing voice was very beautiful. Meanwhile in Pasadena the next day Penny, Leonard, Sheldon, and Amy woke up to find their daughters missing.
" Matteron!", Sheldon and Amy shouted.
" Nova!", Penny and Leonard shouted. Raj, Howard, Bernadette, Emily and Stuart joined in the search as well but after hours of searching the city of Pasadena, Amy and Penny were beginning to think they would never see their daughters again.
" This is hopeless! We're never going to find them!", Amy cried as Sheldon held her hand. Penny just stood there crying into Leonard's shoulder as Leonard embraced her.
" Ok, I'm sorry you guys but this is complete b***s***!", Howard shouted.
" Howie!", Bernadette shouted.
" Look I'm sorry Bernie but I'm not going to stand here watching our friends give up on finding their missing daughters!", Howard shouted.
" Dude, Howard there is no trace of them whatsoever!", Raj shouted.
" Rajesh that's enough!", Emily shouted.
" You guys can we please stop yelling at each other?!", Stuart asked.
" You're not helping the cause Stuart!", Howard shouted.
" Howie that's enough!", Bernadette shouted.
" You guys knock it off! Fighting with each other is not going to help us find Matteron and Nova!", Leonard shouted.
" If I could just say something.", Sheldon said.
" Not now Sheldon!", Leonard irritatedly said. Then he sighed and said, " Let's just go to the police." The gang soon realized that was the only option they had left so they headed to the Pasadena Police Department.
" Can I help you?", the police chief asked.
" Yes sir we have two missing teenage girls.", Leonard said as Sheldon stood right next him.
" What's your name sir?", the chief asked.
" Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.", Leonard said.
" And who are these two missing girls?", the chief asked.
" My daughter and his daughter.", Leonard said as he gestured toward Sheldon.
" Who are you sir?", the chief asked.
" Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper.", Sheldon said.
" How old are they?", the chief asked.
" They're 16 years old.", Leonard said.
" What are their names?", the chief asked.
" Nova Tina Hofstadter.", Leonard said.
" Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper.", Sheldon said.
" Can you give me a detailed description of what they look like?Obviously they are both caucasion right?", the chief said.
" Yes.", Sheldon and Leonard said simultaneously.
" Hair color?", the chief asked.
" Nova has long ombre blonde and black curly hair.", Leonard said.
" Matteron has long straight brunnette hair.", Sheldon said.
" Eye color?", the chief asked.
" Brown eyes.", Leonard said.
" Blue eyes.", Sheldon said.
" Any other features? Glasses?", the chief asked.
" Yes.", Sheldon and Leonard said.
" You're the fathers of these two girls?", the chief asked.
" Yes.", Sheldon and Leonard.
" Here is the most recent picture of them together.", Leonard said as he showed the police chief the picture of the two girls that was taken with his cell phone. The police chief looked at it before handing it back to Leonard and said, " Well I'll tell you what Dr. Hofstadter and Dr. Cooper we will do everything we can to find your daughters."
" Thank you sir.", Leonard said.
" Just one question. What is it that you two do?", the chief asked.
" Well I am an experimental physicist and Sheldon is a theoretical physicist. We work at CalTech University.", Leonard said.
" My wife Amy is a neurobiologist there as well.", Sheldon said.
" Is she Matteron's mother?", the chief asked.
" Indeed she is.", Sheldon said.
" And my wife Penny is Nova's mother.", Leonard said.
" Well as I said we will do everything we can to find them."
" That is very much appreciated. Thank you.", Sheldon said. The next day while the police were searching for the two girls Sheldon was in his office at CalTech trying to focus on his work but Barry Kripke walked in and snidely said, " Cwooper evwer thought thdat maybe ywour dauwghter rwan away because maybe she cwouldn't stand to havwe ywou as a father?" Sheldon put down the dry erase marker and turned around to face Kripke.
" For your information Kripke your assumptions are completely false and irrelavant to the situation! Also I don't appreciate you talking about my daughter like that!", Sheldon frustratingly said.
" Whatevwer Cwooper.", Kripke said as he walked out of Sheldon's office. Sheldon turned back to his whiteboard and picked the marker back up. As he worked on his calculations his mind drifted to the thought of what his daughter said before she ran away.
' I hate you!'
Those three words swarmed his head like vicious hornets as if they were trying to sting him in his soul. He just couldn't imagine that his precious little girl had said something like that. Because of this Sheldon could not think straight as he was trying really hard to concentrate on his work. His thoughts turned to his wife Amy who he thought was probably having just as a hardship about it as he was. Sheldon suddenly stopped writing and placed the cap back on the marker before putting down again.
" This is preposterous!", Sheldon frustratingly said to himself as he turned his attention to the picture of his daughter sitting on his desk. Even in the picture she still looked just as precious. Sheldon sighed and said, "Matteron please come home." As he sat at his desk staring at the picture he felt a tear sliding down his face. Sheldon missed his daughter very much even though she had only been missing for a day. At this point he couldn't focus on anything else but his precious daughter. All he wanted was for his little Matteron to come home. To make matters worse in Amy's lab, Amy was having a rough time as well. She had to stop doing what she was doing multiple times because she just couldn't concentrate. Tears repeatedly hit the table as she stood there crying. She really missed her daughter and all she wanted was for her to come home.
Meanwhile 10 miles away in the city of Los Angeles, the girls were driving through the woods when they came across an abandoned cabin. Nova parked her car and said, " Check out this cabin Matteron."
" Wow this is cool. Hey where are we Nova?", Matteron said.
" I think we're in Los Angeles.", Nova said.
" Wow we're at least 10 miles from Pasadena.", Matteron said.
" Should we go inside the cabin and check it out?", Nova asked.
" Oh what the heck. Sure Nova.", Matteron said as the girls got out of the car. They opened the door to the cabin and found everything covered in dust.
" Oh-kay it's not too bad in here. It just needs cleaning.", Nova said.
" And a whole lot of this!", Matteron said as she pulled out a big can of Lysol spray.
" Sure knock yourself out you whackadoodle!", Nova said as she laughed. As the girls cleaned the cabin music from Matteron's ipod filled the air. The song playing was Starlite Karaoke's Glamorous. The girls danced around the cabin to the beat of the music as they cleaned it. When Matteron wasn't totally satisfied with what she was doing she began spinning around spraying the Lysol everywhere. When Nova saw this she laughed and said, " Ok Matty I think you're getting a little too carried away with the Lysol!"
" Nova when it comes to contagious pathogens I never get carried away with anything.", Matteron said. 3 and a half months later when the girls were sitting at the table talking to each other they were suddenly interrupted by sirens coming from outside the cabin.
" What the hell is that?!", Nova confusely said.
" I don't know let's go check it out.", Matteron said as the girls walked over to the window and looked outside. What they saw was at least 5 cars with red and blue flashing lights and words that said Pasadena Police.
" Dude it's the Pasadena Police!", Matteron exclaimed.
" Of course it is Matteron!", Nova exclaimed. Before they even knew it two police officers entered the cabin with their guns drawn and one officer shouted, " Freeze! Pasadena Police!" The girls screamed as they threw their hands in the air.
" Are you Matteron Fowler-Cooper and Nova Hofstadter?", the officer asked.
" Yes.", Matteron and Nova said simultaneously. The officer touches his shoulder radio and says, " We have just received confirmation that the two missing girls in question have been found. Go ahead and notify their parents that they're ok." The response back was, " Ten four."
" Let's get you home girls.", the officer said as the girls grabbed their things and headed out the door. Meanwhile at Apartment 4A the phone rang and Penny answered it. It was the Pasadena Police saying that the girls have been found and that they're ok.
" Oh thank god!", Penny screamed as she cried tears of joy.
" Is that the police?!", Amy asked.
" Yes! They found the girls and they're ok!", Penny screamed.
" Oh sweet Jesus!", Amy screamed as she threw her arms around Penny crying happy tears as well. The two mothers were elated.
" Sheldon, Leonard, the girls have been found!", Penny happily cried.
" Oh have mercy!", Sheldon exclaimed as he placed his hand on his chest.
" Oh come here buddy!", Leonard said as the two of them threw their arms around each other letting out sighs of relief. Half an hour later the door opened and the police came walking into the apartment with the girls. The girls threw their stuff down on the floor and found themselves embraced in the arms of their parents. Then as the girls were sitting side by side on the couch with their parents standing in front of them Leonard said in a serious tone, "Where the hell have you two been for the past 3 and a half months?!"
" Los Angeles.", Nova quietly said.
" Do you know how worried we were?!", Leonard firmly asked.
" No.", Nova quietly said.
" We were extremely worried Nova! I just don't get it! Why did you do this?!", Leonard shouted.
" I was just trying to help Matteron dad! She was upset! What was I supposed to do?!", Nova cried.
" You should have came to talk to us about it!", Leonard shouted.
" Well if my dad hadn't talked about planning to move us to Texas none of this would have happened!", Matteron shouted.
" That's what she was upset about dad! I was just trying to help her! We're best friends!", Nova cried.
" Why are we even talking about this again?! God I'm sick of everything!", Matteron cried.
" Matteron honey what do you mean by that? Is there something you need to tell us?", Amy asked.
" Yes it's everyone at school! They hate me mom! I am so sick and tired of kids calling me a freak everyday I walk down those halls! And I just want it to stop! And to make matters worse this one kid told me that I would never be as smart as dad!", Matteron cried. Sheldon and Amy were completely shocked by what their daughter was telling them.
" Is that what this is about?", Sheldon asked.
" Yes dad! This is why I said we need to stay here! Nova is the only friend I have! And because of all of this, this is what I've been doing to myself!", Matteron cried as she revealed her scarred arms to her parents.
" Oh god Matteron!", Amy screamed.
" Why didn't you tell us about this?!", Sheldon worriedly asked.
" Because I thought you wouldn't listen to me!", Matteron cried. Sheldon came down to his daughter's eye level and said in a serious tone, "You are the most precious thing in the world to us! So don't ever think for one second that your mom and I would never listen to you Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper!"
" I'm sorry for what I said dad! I love you!", Matteron cried as she threw herself into her dad's arms. As Sheldon embraced his daughter he placed his chin on top of her head and said, " I love you too."
" I'll take whatever punishment possible I don't care! I just want to go home!", Matteron cried into her dad's shoulder.
" Sweetheart we're not punishing you. We're just happy that you're home and you're safe. That's all that matters.", Amy said as she hugged her daughter. Matteron then noticed her cell phone was in her dad's hand.
" Can I have my phone back?", Matteron asked.
" No because you're going to go take a nap.", Sheldon said.
" Dad I'm 16! I'm too old for that!", Matteron protested.
" I don't want to hear it Matteron.", Sheldon said.
" We'll see you guys later.", Amy said as she grabbed her daughter's things and the three of them headed across the hall to their apartment. Once there Amy pushed open the door to Matteron's bedroom and the three entered it. The afternoon sunlight pouring in from the window illuminated the bright neon pink and orange walls as well as the Avengers poster hanging above Matteron's neatly made bed. There was also a Big Time Rush poster and another poster with a bunch of cats on it. Also covering the walls were decals of physics calculations. In one corner of the room was a dresser with a mirror attached to it. Sitting on the dresser was a boombox, several Avengers action figures, several bottles of nail polish and a tv. The shelf hanging above the dresser had several Avengers comic books, CDs, DVDs and a lava lamp. Amy set Matteron's things in the closet before shutting it. Hanging above the closet was Matteron's name in cursive letters surrounded by flowers and butterflies. Matteron climbed into her bed and removed her glasses from her face as Sheldon began shutting the blinds on the window. As he pulled the covers up over her Matteron protested, " Dad this is ridiculous! I'm not even tired!"
" Do not argue with me Matteron. It is nap time.", Sheldon said as he kissed her forehead. Matteron wanted to keep protesting against taking a nap but decided to keep her mouth shut because she didn't want to be grounded if she said anything else. Amy kissed her forehead too and the two parents walked out of the room shutting the light off before shutting the door behind them. Matteron stared at the glow-in-dark stars that were stuck to the ceiling because Raj put them there for her when she was sick one day. The blue-ish glow that they gave off made her smile a little as she began to doze off. To her it felt comforting to know how much her dad's astrophysicist friend went out of his way to help her feel better. 4 weeks later at school Matteron and Nova were talking to their two friends in the library.
" Hey did you guys get through that physics test today?", Marissa asked.
" Oh god Marissa that test was so hard. I felt like falling asleep.", Samantha said.
" Tell me about it.", Nova said.
" What did you think of that test Matteron?", Marissa asked.
" Eh.", Matteron said.
" She probably aced it because she's a genius like her dad.", Samantha said.
" You'd be correct on that assumption Samantha because when it comes to physics I ain't a dummy.", Matteron said.
" Yeah you never really explained what your parents do Matteron.", Marissa said.
" Well my dad is a theoretical physicist and my mom is a neurobiologist.", Matteron said. Samantha nearly choked on her saliva as she shockingly said, "What?! Are you freaking kidding me?!"
" No I'm not Sam I'm serious.", Matteron said as she shook her head.
" For real?! Are you serious Matty?!", Marissa shockingly asked. Matteron nodded her head.
" Ok it's official! I so do not regret being friends with you!", Marissa said as she laughed.
" Hey I'm smart too. My dad's a physicist too.", Nova said.
" Shut up! No way!", Marissa and Samantha exclaimed. Just then a boy walked up behind Marissa and said, " There's my beautiful gemstone." Marissa turned her head around, smiled and said, " Correy!" as she stood up to hug him and kiss him.
" What are you doing here baby?", Marissa asked her boyfriend as she sat back down.
" Oh I had a half day and I thought I'd come see you Marissa.", Correy said with a smile.
" Aww isn't he the sweetest you guys?!", Marissa said.
" So what are you up to?", Correy asked.
" Not much I'm just talking to my friends.", Marissa said.
" Oh right. Samantha Goldstein, Nova Hofstadter and what did you say your name was again?", Correy asked.
" Matteron Fowler-Cooper.", Matteron said.
" Right. Hey listen Marissa I got to go because I'm going hunting with my dad.", Correy said.
" Ok Correy. I'll see ya later then."
" Ok. Talk to ya later. Love you.", Correy said with a smile.
" Love you too.", Marissa said with a smile as she kissed her boyfriend.
" Bye.", Correy said as he began walking away.
" Bye.", Marissa said.
" Later Correy.", Nova said.
" Omg Marissa! You are so lucky to have a boyfriend like that!", Samantha exclaimed as she let out a girly squeal.
" I know! Correy is so sweet!", Marissa exclaimed.
" So is my boyfriend Nelson!", Samantha said.
" Don't forget my boyfriend Jordyn too!", Nova said. Matteron let out a groan as she slammed her head on the table.
" What's the problem Matty?", Nova asked. Matteron lifted her head up and said, " Do you guys realize that I'm the only one at this table that doesn't have a boyfriend?", Matteron asked.
" Well it seems like that for now but come on I'm sure you'll find someone Matteron.", Nova said. Matteron leaned back in the chair and said, " I wish. It's not like some random guy is going to walk through the door and I develop some instantaneous crush on him." Just then a really cute boy walked in and said, " Hi Nova." which made Matteron shoot up straight in the chair as she stared at the boy that just walked in.
' Omg he is so cute!', Matteron thought.
" Oh hi Alex.", Nova said as Alex sat down next to Matteron.
" He's the new kid right Nova?", Marissa asked.
" Yeah this is Alex Wheaton. And Alex this is Marissa Stevenson, Samantha Goldstein and of course my best friend Matteron Fowler-Cooper.", Nova said.
" Nice to meet you.", Alex said as he shook hands with Matteron. Matteron could tell that he was staring at her a little bit too.
' Oh my god he's staring at me! What do I do?!', Matteron thought. As they all continued to talk to each other Matteron just couldn't stop staring at Alex.
" Well hey it was nice chatting with you girls but I got to go to gym class.", Alex said as he stood up.
" Ok we'll see you later Alex.", Nova said.
" See ya Nova, Marissa and Samantha. And I'll see you around too Matteron.", Alex said as he began walking out of the library.
" Ok.", Matteron breathlessly said as she batted her eyes, blushed and smiled.
" Omg! You have a crush on Alex don't you Matty?!", Samantha shockingly asked.
" What?! That's ridiculous Sam! What makes you think I have a crush on Alex?!", Matteron shockingly asked.
" Dude you were batting your eyes at him as he was leaving and you're blushing!", Marissa exclaimed.
" Yeah and don't think I didn't see that as well because I did.", Nova said.
" I just met him Nova!", Matteron said. The other three girls stared at her.
" Alright I admit it! He is so cute!", Matteron exclaimed as she leaned back in the chair.
" I knew it!", Samantha exclaimed as she squealed.
" If you like him then why don't you go out with him?", Nova asked.
" Are you nuts Nova?! Do you know what my dad would do to me if I was dating someone?!", Matteron shockingly asked.
" Not a clue Matty.", Nova said.
" He would make me sign some stupid Relationship Agreement just as he did with my mom when they were dating.", Matteron said.
" Well what's the problem with that Matteron?", Samantha asked.
" I just think relationships should be natural and free. Not tied to some agreement between two partners. You guys are lucky that your fathers don't do that to you.", Matteron said.
" Ok well how about this? You get to know Alex and start out as friends with him. See where that goes.", Nova said.
" I don't know Nova.", Matteron said.
" Oh come on bestie. You deserve someone special in your life.", Nova said.
" Alright I guess I'll give it a shot Nova.", Matteron said.
" Cool! I'll text Alex and tell him to meet you in the park after school!", Nova said as she took out her cell phone. The message she typed was, 'Hey Alex it's Nova. Meet my best friend Matteron in the park today after school. She wants to talk to you. :)' The response back was, ' Hi Nova. Sure of course I'll meet up with her. :)' Nova texted back, ' Thanks Alex. :)' Alex texted, ' Sure thing Nova. Anything for a friend. :)'
" Why the park Nova?", Matteron asked.
" Duh the park is really romantic.", Nova said.
" Yeah that makes sense.", Matteron said. Just then the popular girl in school walked over to their table with her group of friends, laughed and said, " Oh look at this! It's the freak with her geek posse!"
" Go away Satara Sullivan! Leave me alone!", Matteron rudely said.
" Matteron don't stoop to her level.", Nova said.
" Yeah listen to your geeky friend and shut up!", Satara said as she and her friends laughed. Matteron slammed her hands down on the table and angrily said, " What did I say Satara?! I said to leave me alone!"
" You are such a slutty bitch Fowler-Cooper!", Satara shouted. Matteron gasped.
" Matty don't!", Nova shouted. Matteron stood up on the table and shouted, " That tears it! I'm gonna kill you Satara Sullivan! Come here!" Matteron flung herself at Satara knocking her to the floor and the girls engaged in a fight with each other. As the two girls were swinging fists at each other, screaming, yelling, kicking and pulling on each other's hair the librarian called the principal down to the library to come break up the fight.
" Miss Sullivan and Miss Fowler-Cooper report my office right now!", the principal shouted. The two girls followed the principal to his office. The principal contacted Matteron's and Satara's parents and the girls soon found themselves in the office with their parents and the principal.
" Why would you start a fight with someone Matteron?!", Amy angrily said.
" That wasn't me mom! Satara's the one that started it!", Matteron angrily said.
" You tackled me to the floor!", Satara angrily said.
" Yeah because you called me a slutty b****!", Matteron shouted.
" Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper!", Amy shouted.
" Don't yell at me mom! She's the one who said it!", Matteron shouted as she pointed at Satara.
" Satara is this true what she's saying?!", Mrs. Sullivan shockingly asked.
" Yes! I said that!", Satara shouted.
" Why would you say that?!", Mr. Sullivan shouted.
" Because she's a freak!", Satara shouted.
" That's not true and you know it!", Matteron shouted.
" Shut up Fowler-Cooper!", Satara shouted.
" You shut up Sullivan!", Matteron shouted.
" That's enough! You girls are suspended for the rest of the day!", the principal shouted.
" What?!", Matteron and Satara shouted.
" Go home and if I see either one of you around here through out the rest of the day again I will call the Pasadena Police! Do you understand me?!", the principal shouted.
" Yes.", Matteron and Satara said.
" Good! Now get out of my office!", the principal said as the two girls left with their parents. When Matteron and her parents got home Sheldon disappointedly said, " Matteron I have never been so disappointed in you."
" We knew you had problems but you just took it to a whole other level!", Amy disappointedly said.
" Satara wouldn't leave me alone! What was I supposed to do?!", Matteron angrily said.
" You could have ignored her Matteron.", Amy said.
" She kept pushing the issue mom! How am I supposed to ignore that?!", Matteron angrily said.
" Go to your room. You are grounded for the rest of the day.", Sheldon said. Matteron went to her room and slammed the door behind her.
" What are we ever going to do with her Sheldon?", Amy said in frustration.
" I don't know Amy.", Sheldon said as he wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder. Meanwhile in Matteron's bedroom Matteron kicked the door angrily and threw herself on her bed just as she heard footsteps coming down the hallway toward her room. Sheldon walked into his daughter's bedroom and angrily said, " Do not kick your door Matteron! Do you hear me?!"
" Leave me alone dad!", Matteron angrily said.
" Excuse me but how dare you talk to me like that!", Sheldon angrily said. Matteron flung her hand up pointing a finger to the ceiling indicating that she was saying, ' F***off!'
" Do not do that to me! Keep it up and you will be grounded longer!", Sheldon angrily said.
" Dad I said to leave me alone!", Matteron shouted.
" Look at me when you're speaking to me!", Sheldon shouted. Matteron sat up on her bed and shouted, " What dad?! What do you want me to say?!"
" I don't want you to say anything right now!", Sheldon angrily said.
" Then why are you yelling at me!", Matteron angrily said.
" I'm not yelling at you!", Sheldon angrily said.
" Yes you are dad! And whatever this is about is not an excuse to yell at your daughter!", Matteron shouted.
" Come here!", Sheldon angrily said as he pulled his daughter onto his knee and began smacking her on the backside as if she was two years old. He didn't hit her too hard but hard enough to reduce her to tears.
" Ow! What was that for?!", Matteron cried.
" That was for rudely talking back to me!", Sheldon angrily said.
" That hurt!", Matteron cried.
" I'm sorry. I don't like doing that but you left me no choice.", Sheldon said. The next day at school Matteron and Satara were sitting in the cafeteria at a table across from each other. Nova and the other two girls were standing in front of them.
" Why are we here?!", Matteron irritatedly said.
" Yeah explain you losers!", Satara irritatedly said as she crossed her arms in front of her.
" Because I really think you two should be friends and not enemies!", Nova said.
" Why would I want to be friends with her?!", Satara said as she laughed.
" Because she's a genius!", Nova said. Satara looked at Matteron and said, " Oh yeah?! Well if you're a genius, solve this!" as she wrote down a physics math problem on a piece of paper and passed it to Matteron.
" I bet you can't solve it!", Satara said.
" Oh yeah Satara?! Just watch!", Matteron said as she began to solve the problem. Nova, Marissa and Samantha watched with anticipation as Satara sat there with her arms crossed waiting for the answer. Other students began to crowd around them as well. When Matteron was done she slammed the pencil down on the table and passed the paper back to Satara who stared at it with wide eyes. She then looked at Matteron who was leaning back in the chair with arms crossed and a smug look on her face. Satara then looked back the paper and shockingly said, " What the hell?! This is completely correct!"
" See?! Told you she's a genius!", Nova said. Instantly the crowd of students gave a round of applause.
" How did you know that you loser?!", Satara shockingly said.
" Duh I have a genius IQ level and my dad is a genius too! He's a theoretical physicist! So that's another reason how I knew the answer!", Matteron said.
" Oh yeah?! Who's your dad you little geek?!", Satara asked.
" Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper!", Matteron said.
" Yeah right!", Satara said as she laughed.
" This isn't a joke Satara! I'm serious! Why do you think my last name is Cooper?! Ever thought of that?!", Matteron said as she got up in Satara's face.
" I don't know!", Satara said.
" Exactly! You can't explain it Satara because it's the truth! I am Dr. Cooper's daughter!", Matteron said.
" And in case you haven't noticed Satara I'm Dr. Hofstadter's daughter!", Nova said.
" Oh please don't tell me your dad's a physicist too!", Satara said.
" Yes he is! He's an experimental physicist!", Nova said.
" So you two expect me to believe that your dads are Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter?!", Satara shockingly asked.
" Yes!", Matteron and Nova shouted.
" Ok I admit it! That makes sense!", Satara said.
" Told you! And another thing Satara my mom is a doctor too but she's a neurobiologist!", Matteron said.
" Oh yeah?! What's her name?!", Satara asked.
" Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler-Cooper!", Matteron said.
" And my mom is Penny Hofstadter! She's an actress and a bartender!", Nova said.
" Like I care! And another thing Nova, your name is stupid!", Satara said. The girls gasped.
" Excuse me?! But what did you say about my name Satara?!", Nova angrily asked.
" I said it's stupid!", Satara said.
" Oh don't you dare go there Satara! My name has a very special meaning to it!", Nova angrily said.
" And what is that?!", Satara asked.
" It symbolizes the birth of a star!", Nova angrily said as she got up in Satara's face.
" Who gave you that stupid name?! Your parents?!", Satara asked.
" No! It was actually my dad's and Matteron's dad's astrophysicist friend that gave it to me Satara!", Nova angrily said.
" Then he must be pretty stupid!", Satara said.
" No he's not Satara! He's a very intelligent scientist that studies the stars and the solar system!", Matteron angrily said.
" Not to mention he's really nice too!", Nova angrily said.
" Well if you two losers know him then what's his name?!", Satara asked.
" Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali!", Matteron and Nova angrily said.
" Is that all you losers wanted to tell me?!", Satara asked.
" No! They also have another friend that we know who's an engineer and an astronaut!", Matteron angrily said.
" Yeah and his name is Howard Wolowitz!", Nova angrily said.
" Ok that is the stupidest name I've ever heard!", Satara said as she laughed. Matteron wanted to hit her so badly but decided not to because she didn't want to get suspended again. Instead she shouted, " Satara if you don't shut up I will kill you!" But little did she know that someone had secretly recorded her voice. Later after school Matteron met up with Alex in the park.
" I am so sorry about yesterday Alex.", Matteron said.
" It's cool Matteron. So what happened yesterday?", Alex asked.
" I got into a fight with the popular girl at school, ended up getting suspended and grounded for the rest of the day.", Matteron said.
" How did the fight start?", Alex asked.
" Well Satara Sullivan kept insulting me in front of my friends and I guess I just got so mad that I exploded and attacked her.", Matteron said.
" Figures. Popular girls always insult everybody.", Alex said as he laughed.
" Uh ya think?", Matteron asked as she laughed. ' Omg! He has the cutest laugh!', Matteron thought. ' Damn this girl is pretty!', Alex thought. The two of them continued talking to each other. These meetings with each other went on for weeks and the two of them became pretty good friends. It was at this time that Sheldon began to get suspicious about what was going on with his daughter. Then one night Alex texted Matteron asking her to meet him at the park. Matteron snuck out the window of her bedroom with a smile on her face as she looked at her phone. Once she got to the park she saw Alex sitting in the tree at their usual meeting place. She climbed up the tree and sat down next to him dangling her legs over the tree branch.
" Hey Matteron.", Alex said with a smile.
" Hey Alex.", Matteron said with a smile. Then she asked, " So what did you ask me to come here for?"
" I got something on my mind and it can't wait until morning.", Alex said.
" Well what is it?", Matteron asked. Alex played the song Don't Matter by Akon on his cell phone, gently took Matteron's hand and kissed her on the lips. Instantly a love spark ignited inside of Matteron's heart as Alex kissed her. When they broke apart Matteron asked with wide eyes, " Did you just kiss me?!"
" Oh is that what I did? I'm sorry maybe I shouldn't have, I don't know what I was thinking, I...", Alex started to say but was interrupted by Matteron kissing him back. When they broke apart again Alex asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
" Yes!", Matteron said as the two of them kissed each other again. But what they didn't know was someone took a picture of them kissing each other while hiding in the bushes.
" Ooh Matteron Cooper you are in so much trouble. Because when your dad sees this, Alex is all mine.", Satara said to herself with an evil smirk on her face.
Uh oh sounds like future trouble for Sheldon and Wil Wheaton. How will they react to their daughter and son dating each other? And will Satara win Alex's heart or not? Find out in chapter 2.
