Writer's note: I was watching a video on utube the other day where Jim Parsons was saying that they had to knock Sheldon on the head with a frying pan and tell him he's got feelings for Penny in order to realize something like that. (Plus I saw a sweet moment where Kaley kissed Jim on the cheek at comic con 2009 and I wanted to put it in.) So here's my story.
I don't own Big bang theory, but I do own this story!
The Frying Pan Consequences
It was 2 am and Penny couldn't sleep. She was sweating. It wasn't too hot or anything but she could use some water. She got up and went to the kitchen without turning on the lights. What would be the point in that? She would just wake up for good and then she wouldn't be able to sleep.
She filled a glass and took a zip. Suddenly she heard a sound. Someone was trying to open the door. She grabbed the frying pan and hid herself behind the kitchen bench.
The door opened and closed, but no voice was heard. The stranger started looking around and messing her stuff up. It was a thief nonetheless. She tightened her grip around the pan and waited the right moment. When he was close to her, facing the door, she stroke.
She turned on the lights and a terrified scream came out of her mouth. "Oh my God! Sheldon!" She said and ran next to him. The PhD, theoretical physicist, Sheldon Cooper was lied on her floor, face down, completely motionless. "Oh, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap." She kept saying until reaching her neighbors door.
Knock, knock, knock, "Leonard!"
Knock, knock, knock, "Leonard!"
Knock, knock, knock, "Leonard!" she yelled.
"You should stop hanging out with Sheldon. What do you want Penny? It's 2 am." Leonard said half asleep.
"Sheldon! Sheldon! He's…."
"What did he do now?" Leonard interrupted her. "I told him he could come and search for his flash driver tomorrow." He added.
"What?" Penny said.
"He believes he dropped his flash driver in your apartment." Leonard explained. "What is he doing there?" he asked seeing his friend through the open door.
"Actually, I hit him with a frying pan." Penny said leading her ex- boyfriend to her leaving room.
"I know he is annoying but a frying pan is too much." He said checking him out.
"I thought he was a thief. He just sneaked in with his emergency key. Is he ok?" she asked.
"We'd better get him to a hospital." Leonard answered.
It was 3 pm the next day but Sheldon was still unconscious. The doctor had said that he had a concussion, but nothing worrying. Penny was sitting next to him, half asleep. She hadn't slept for thirteen hours and Leonard was at the university working and arranging Sheldon's days off.
She had to go in two hours but he was nowhere to be seen.
An hour later he arrived followed by Howard and Raj.
"You knocked Sheldon on the head with a frying pan? You are my goddess." Howard said teasing her.
"I'm not in the mood, Howard. I haven't slept for thirteen hours and I feel really bad for what I did." She said.
Raj bended over and whispered something at Howard's ear. "Yeah, he looks almost peaceful asleep. Don't get used to it." He said.
"Come on guys, stop. Penny, you should go home, rest a little. You have to go to work." Leonard said.
"Will you be fine?" she asked him.
"I'm going to be just fine. I'll call you if anything happens." He told her and she left.
He didn't have to call; she did that, every ten minutes. Her boss was looking at her menacing as she messed up the orders. It was Saturday night and there was a lot of people she had to service. Her mind though was absent.
Sheldon was annoying, arrogant and was lecturing all the time but he didn't deserve this. He was also sweet and cute in his own special way, a best friend who had saved her many times and was always there for her. This was devastating.
It was 1 am when Penny opened the door to Sheldon's hospital room. Nothing had changed. Leonard was sleeping next to him while Howard and Raj were long gone now. Sheldon was still lied down, eyes shut, like he was sleeping.
"You can go home now." Penny whispered at Leonard waking him up.
"No, you should go and rest. You are up since last night, almost 24 hours." He said rubbing his eyes.
"You are too." She replied.
"No, I am not. I slept at the office." He confessed as he was standing up.
They both looked at the lying form in front of them. "Look at him. He looks so innocent and harmless. I almost miss his lecturing." Leonard said.
The next moment Sheldon's eyes trembled a little and then he woke up. "Where am I?" he asked.
"I just regretted." Leonard told Penny and then faced Sheldon. "You are at the hospital buddy."
"What am I doing in the hospital? Who are you?" he asked him.
" I am your roommate, Leonard, remember Sheldon, we are friends." Leonard said
"Who's Sheldon?" he asked him.
"Uhm, you are honey, Sheldon Lee Cooper PhD theoretical Physicist?" Penny said.
"And who are you?" Sheldon asked her in a wicked voice and scanned her ,head to bottom.
"She's Penny, our neighbor, Sheldon." Leonard explained.
"But Why do you keep calling me that name? I don't know this Sheldon guy, I am Bruce Wayne." He replied.
