Author's Note: This is actually a fan fic on a fan fic. It's based on trbl's wonderful story "Sheldon's Girlfriend", which is the 4th story in her Shenny series and I'd strongly recommend reading all of them first. Vera, a minor character in her story, sang to me and I decided to give her her own story ... though with some familiar faces too.

The only thing I own of The Big Bang Theory are my DVDs and a rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock t-shirt. The characters are all from the genius of Bill Prady and company and Vera is from the talented trbl. I suppose the boyfriend and the dialogue are mine and I hope you enjoy them.

"I still don't understand why you won't tell me where we're going," Marty grumped, carefully putting his laptop bag in the back seat.

"I told you," Vera smiled, enjoying the rarity of seeing him not in control of a situation. "We're going visit some friends of mine."

"But you won't tell me who."

"Nope." He grimaced as she popped the "p".

"And I need to bring my laptop."

"Uh-huh," she nodded, getting into the car. "We both do."

"Why?"

"There's a good possibility we're going to be tested."

"You're kidding, right?" He got in the other side and closed his door.

"Nope." Pop!

"Come on! Just –"

"Marty, sweetheart, love of my life," she cooed at him, starting the car before he could climb out of it. "Have I ever lied to you?"

"No," he mumbled, knowing she'd already won.

"Then please trust me when I promise you that you'll be glad you came with me, OK?"

"'k."

See, I learned a lot from both of you!

Marty thought the house they pulled up to was nice but it wasn't anything particularly special. Vera parked on the street in front of it, got out of the car and grabbed her own backpack. Getting out on the lawn already, Marty started across the grass to the driveway."

"No!" She snapped at him. "Not in the grass!"

He stopped, giving her a "WTF?" look.

"He doesn't …" she started to explain then thought the better of it. "Just … walk in the street, with me. Please." He stepped into the street and followed her.
