Chapter 1

Once upon a time……Don't all stories start like that? Well, mostly fairytales about princess and knights in shining amour do, that much I know. So then, what do you call the stories about four princesses with four different problems, who happen to be the potential love interest of four….what to call them? There's a shy one, a perverted one, a rude one and a gentle one. Lets just call them….

Or better yet, lets just screw the fairytale introduction altogether. Because , quite frankly, 'once upon a time' is too way vague, and 'happily ever after ' isn't really on the guest list.

By now you're reading this and wondering who in name of Spock we are? Yea I said we. Plural, even. I'm a cynical Marine Biologist. I am a clumsy costume designer. I'm a messy super model. And all those fairytales tell a lie.

" Penny!" Knock " Penny!" Knock " Penny!"

Penny groaned as she lazily lifted her head and stared at her apartment's door. Even after a year of living in California, after living across the hallway from them, she wasn't quite used to her wake up calls.

Today was one of those days were Penny hated those wake up calls. Yesterdays actions had caused her grief today. She had almost lost her job. She couldn't take the weekend off. And she was getting those stupid cramps….

" Sheldon…maybe's she asleep." She heard Lenard reason with the taller scientist.

" At nine o'clock in the morning?" Sheldon paused " Yes, yes that could be a reasonable explanation."

Penny sighed as she opened the door " What ever do you all need?"

The four geeks looked up at her, before Sheldon answered " It's Wednesday. "

" And your point is , Sheldon?

" It's Thai food night…." Sheldon explained.

" And it's your night to pay, my fair lady." Howard winked.

" Oh right! I had totally forgot!" Penny bit her lip " Look, I'm a little short on cash so do you think maybe….?"

" We could buy the food.." Leonard smiled

"Really?"

"Anything for you my sweet, cheesecake scented goddess, beauty.." Howard wiggled his eyebrows

" Thank you so much!" Penny smiled, brushing off Howard comment.

After goodbyes where exchanged, Penny shut her door and slumped back down on her couch. Sighing, she glanced over to her messy coffee table and spotted a bright orange envelope. Only one household she knew of used orange colored envelopes. A huge grin came on her face. Quickly, she picked the letter up and spilled its contents on her lap. Reading the letter quickly, a even larger smile grew on her face.

Her bad day just got extremely better….

Penny sat awkwardly in her usual spot on Wednesday night. As she ate her food she tried listening to the scientific conversation going on around her. Clearing her throat, she boldly spoke up.

" Um, speaking of relatives visiting.…" Penny said " I want to ask you guys something."

" No one in this room had said anything about relatives visiting, Penny." Sheldon tilted his head to the side " Unless you were having some sort of inner conversation where that was topic being discussed."

" Um, whatever…I need to ask you all a favor."

Leonard answered quickly" Yes, of course. You need not to ask me-uh…us twice."

Penny blinked " Um, could any of you pick up a two relatives of mine from the airport tomorrow? My stupid car's steering wheel broke off and I have to work a double shift."

"Cars normally don't do that…" Howard said, smiling.

" That's what the fixer dude said." Penny frowned.

" I'd loved to go!" Leonard exclaimed " Just say when and where an I'll be there quicker then the Flash to a robbery!"

" Great! The….guys were really worried that no one would be able to pick them up." Penny lied .

Raj leaned over to Howard and whispered into his ear " Raj wants to know what is the names of these relatives of yours."

"Um…..Their names are…Julius and…Bill!" Penny blurted out quickly.

Raj had a look of glee on his face as he whispered to Howard again " He says he can help too. Really?"

When Raj nodded, Penny smiled and clapped her hand together excitedly " Thank you, both of you."

Leonard puffed out his chest and smiled at his neighbor" Anything for you Penny. Because I mean…You are a friend and friends help out friends because if their friends that usually means there is some sort of connection to that person who is your friend."

Penny blinked a few times before gathering up her belongings " Well, I should head off to sleep. Goodnight , guys."

As the goodnight chorused from the room, Penny left the apartment. As she closed the door, Howard turned and looked at Leonard " Could you write your exclamation about friends down for me? I want to use when we go to the Comic convention…"

" Shut up…" Leonard sighed " So Raj, you and me tomorrow? We'll have to leave early to beat traffic."

"Yea…." Raj agreed " Can we stop at that McDonalds on the way? I really want Egg Mcmuffin!"

Leonard looked at his friend strangely before shaking his head " Sure, whatever.."
