AN: Hello everyone, I know it has been some time, but this is the story I have promised you, I took a different take on it, hoping that it will be enjoyed by many of you. So here you go, have a fun and read away.

As one man had once stated; there can be over a thousand parallel universe that we don't even know about, universe where nothing is the same, and everyone has a different life from the one they have now, that being true the focus is on one universe. In this particular parallel universe, Leonard doesn't work at the University, but he instead owns it and he's teaching his oldest son how to run it, and where Raj is still in India, married, and is the GEO of a telescope company. Howard still doesn't have a PhD but he has already been on dozens of missions into space and is married to a gold digger. Bernadette is working on curing the common cold, while Amy is a top Biologist who has a loving wife, and as for Sheldon, he still has a high IQ, still OCD, but he doesn't work in the science field, he's in fact a Doctor who lives in California.

Now as for Penny?

She is neither a waitress nor an actress, but in fact she is a small shop owner that sells trinkets, but unfortunately for Penny, in this universe she didn't get a lucky break like everyone else, Penny was born with a frail heart. Every time she has an attack, it brings her closer to her death, and as days pass the attacks come sooner and sooner.

Another thing about this parallel universe; no one knows each other.

That is until Penny has another attack that sends her right into a Dr. Cooper s hospital.

December 12th, 2011, 1:46 PM

Penny was rushed into a near by hospital on a stretcher, attached to a breathing machine, and Dr. Sheldon Cooper was running beside her as she was being pushed around the hospital to get her into a room on time to save her. Penny was originally out and about with her friends when she had another heart attack, she fell crippled to the hard pavement. Dr. Cooper was on call at the time, and he was paged to assist Penny at once.

He finally got her hooked up to a ECG, the room echoed with the screeching noise of the machine, signalling that there is no heart beat.

"Quick! Get me the defibrillator!" Dr. Cooper screamed over the sound of the ECG, while the nurse did what she had been told, Dr. Cooper tore Penny's shirt open as to place the pads on Penny's flesh when the nurse returned.

"Here!" The nurse handed Dr. Cooper the equipment, he then placed the pads on Penny's body, rubbed the two paddles together till the static could be heard.

"Clear!" He placed the machine's paddles to the pads, and Penny's body jolted up, no responding heart beat, "Again!" Dr. Cooper repeated the motion, again with no heart beat, he was going to give it one more time before he called it.

"Clear!"

Penny's body went up right and her heart jolted back to life, the room soon was filled with her steady heart beat, everyone gave a sigh of relief that she was alive. They got her cleaned up and fixed her room so when Penny finally came too it would at least look like a clean hospital room.

6:07 PM, Same day.

Penny was dreaming that she was flying, that she had the wings of a bird and she could feel them carry her to wherever she could of gone, she was happy to be free, but the dream was only happy for a short time, a sharp pain shoot through her heart and her wings began to dissolve away, she was now falling. What brought her out of this dream was a faint beeping in the back ground.

Penny slowly opened her eyes to the bright light that was above her, she knew these type of lights all to well to actually freak out that she was in the hospital, she turned to see a tall man with some what gangly body, dark brown and combed off to the side hair. What really got Penny was the bright blue eyes that were fixed on her.

"Hello, Miss Hunter, I'm Dr. Cooper."

"Um, Hi."

Penny wasn't used to people calling her by her last time, she preferred them not too, "You can just call me, Penny."

"I'm sorry but I can't do that."

"And why not?"

Dr. Cooper folded his arms behind his back and said in such a matter-of-fact voice, Penny could feel her ears actually bleed.

"Because if I were to do that, it would destroy the doctor and patient barrier, and I would like to keep our relationship as that; professional."

God was her doctor an anal bitch.

"Please? It would make me feel less like I'm actually in a hospital." Penny was putting on her best pouty face, but it wasn't working with Dr. Cooper, he was unmoved by this.

"Well alright let me think... No, Miss Hunter."

Penny was defeated and rested her head deeper into her pillow as she possibly could.

"So, how long do I have to stay in here this time? A day? Two days? A week?" Dr. Cooper got really still and quite, he slowly moved closer to Penny, hands still tucked away behind his back.

"About that, I'm sorry, but you won't be checking out of the hospital anytime soon. Your heart is far to weak to continue with a normal living, if you over work it you will have another attack, and this time we won't be able to bring you back."

Penny was in complete shock to this news, she wanted to cry, shake her head no, and yell at him that he was a lair, that she won't be dying at 22. But sadly Penny knew this was the truth, she couldn't keep on living, it was a surprise to everyone that she even made it to five, even more when she was still alive on her sixtieth birthday. Her heart was just not up to keep fighting, and she was too poor to get a transplant, and she wouldn't want anyone else's heart anyways.

"How long? Do I have I mean?"

Dr. Cooper looked over his chart on her footrest, "Maybe a month, give or take. . Again I'm really sorry, we can try our best by making you comfortable here."

"Why can't I leave thou? I'd really rather die in my own bed."

Dr. Cooper took a large sign, and tried his best to explain to Penny, why she can't leave, "Because it is not in this hospital's policy to release a dying patient, for one it's just wrong, and two if you leave, you risk dying sooner. Now if you were to stay here we can keep watch over you and progress your life a little longer. That's all we hope for really, you to live as long as you can."

Penny folded her arms over her chest, wanting to disapprove of what he was saying, but she did have to admit that it made sense, it was no use to throw a dying person out on the streets, it could also give him and the hospital a bad reputation.

Self-centered anal doctor.

"You said you'd do whatever you could to make me comfy, right?"

"That is correct, do you have something in mind already, Miss Hunter?"

"Yeah. Call me Penny."

Dr. Cooper narrowed his blue eyes at her, but agreed to it anyways.

"Alright, Penny."

"See, isn't that better?" Penny smiled up at him.

"Not really. But if it suits you, then so be it." Dr. Cooper walks his way over to the door to leave, Penny stops him before he can make it to the hallway.

"Wait, what's your name?"

He doesn't bother to face her when he tells her his name, "It's Sheldon." the he just leaves Penny alone to herself, "It's nice to meet you, Sheldon."
