For Penny this was an ordinary day at the Cheesecake Factory but the fact was, now she was on the bottom of the waitress staff having to work her way up yet again. This was because she had to come crawling back since her other job had failed her. The waitressing job although probably the worst job in the world it paid enough for her to live in her apartment which was good enough for her. Because she had come crawling back her bosses expected her to ACTUALLY work, which was terrible for her since she never had to really do anything for herself her whole life. Just smile and she got everything she wanted, but not now, no now she had to bust her butt to keep a job she had never wanted in the first place.
Today she was almost done for the day all she had was one more table to take orders from and then she would be free from this disgusting, embarrassing place! She practically ran up to the table, but then she paused… there was only a young girl sitting at the table. She looked at least to be in her early teens and she was here ALONE?! She was sitting at the table nervously moving her messenger bag into different positions next to her. Penny smiled hoping to make the girl feel better for being alone. She walked up to the girls table.
"Hi, I'm Penny what would you like to eat?" The girl looked at Penny and sighed. "I don't usually eat here and it's not on my schedule… But I guess i'll have the barbecue bacon cheeseburger with the barbecue, bacon, and cheese on the side."
Penny was shocked! No one except Sheldon has ever ordered the sandwich THAT way before. Then the girl looking a bit upset frowned at Penny. "I guess you don't give people drinks here… But i'll take a lemonade if you ever want to stop standing there like an idiot and get my food." Penny finally took a deep breath and walked away to get her order. Six minutes later the chef gave her the girl's food and she walked towards the girls table with her order, but when she looked towards the table the girl was sitting at, the girl was gone! Penny closed her eyes and sat down, laughing to herself. She thought that she must be hallucinating. "It was bound to happen one day once I met Sheldon." She proclaimed standing up and setting the order down. She took off her apron and ran out gleefully, smiling at the crazy evening she had had. She jumped in her car excited to tell Leonard what had happened today and how crazy stupid she felt for imagining such a ridiculous thing.
Meanwhile at the comic book store, Howard, Raj, Sheldon, and Leonard were browsing through the comic books seeing if they needed any to finish a collection. Howard and Raj were arguing about Raj's close attachment to Cinnamon his dog and Sheldon was looking through the new comic books with Leonard. The bell to the door jingled and the guys looked up to see a girl in her early teens walk in.
Stuart walked up to her very surprised. "Can I help you?" The girl raised an eyebrow at Stuart. "Yes, but I don't like you so therefore you cannot help me." She then walked away and headed towards the bin next to them. Howard was really happy to hear the girl say that she didn't like Stuart since he himself wasn't a fan either. He approached the girl "Hi, I'm Howard how are you." She tilted her head confused. "Do you mean how are you as in hello or how are you as in how are you feeling today?" Howard smiled and sighed. "Um...usually people say how are you to be nice. You don't get out much do you?" She rolled her eyes. "I don't need to
"go out" as you put it. Academics are more important and doing anything other than work really wastes my knowledge." Then she walked towards Raj who was looking at her up and down trying to figure her out. "Why do you keep staring at me like your trying to figure out how the theory of quantum entanglement solves time travel?" The guys all stared at her except Sheldon trying to figure out the mystery that was the girl. Leonard then walked up to her. "How do you know about the most complex theory in physics?" She shrugged. "Well I guess it's because I have a doctorate in theoretical physics." Leonard's mouth dropped open surprised. " YOU have a doctorate?! You're only like twelve!" She frowned and crossed her arms. "I am not twelve, I am fourteen… I got my doctorate at eleven for crying out loud!" Then she stomped over to Sheldon mumbling about how idiotic the people she had just met were acting.
She stood in front of Sheldon and smiled. "Can you please tell me where the Flash comics are? I don't want those infantiles helping me." Sheldon smiled as well, facing her. "Yes they are on the first shelf to your right. I'm deeply sorry about my friends they don't understand that smart people can graduate before them." She walked over and grabbed a flash comic, paid for it and walked out, leaving the guys really confused about what had occurred.
Back with Penny at the apartment building, She was drinking wine waiting for Leonard to get home. She knew that he was probably at the comic book store and that she could have just gone there but the last time she was there Leonard completely ignored her. Besides her and comic books don't mix. She finished her bottle of wine and sat down bored wondering what in the world to do. "I could hang out with Bernadette? But that won't work since she is working at the place that fired me." She thought cautiously trying to find a way to wait for Leonard.
Then it occurred to her… She paused and looked towards her bedroom…. She could do Leonards laundry for him! "He always comes over here and there is never anything clean for him to wear!" She cried out loud. Then she ran to her bedroom and gathered all the clothing into one big basket. She shot out of her apartment and ran down the stairs until she reached the laundry room. Suddenly she stopped as to not run over the young girl sitting on the last step leading towards the laundry room.
"Hey! Aren't you that girl that ordered the barbecue bacon cheeseburger and then ran out?" The girl turned towards Penny and shrugged. "Aren't you the terrible waitress that takes forever and looks like a dumb blonde." Penny laughed in a mean way and looked at the girl's computer. "Whatcha playing there?" "Well I'll put this in simple terms for you… I'm playing a video game called War of Warcraft: Age of Conan." Penny smirked and put her hands on her hips. "I played that and I was a level twenty five before I stopped." The girl smirked back and stood up closing her laptop. "Yes, well you may think that that is a good accomplishment but unfortunately i'm a level eighty five. What was your name again barbie?" Penny set down the clothing and started to fill the washer. "My name is Penny… why are you down here all alone?" The girl closed her laptop and stood up. "My name is Sadie, and i'm down here alone because my mother is fighting with her newest boyfriend and I cannot stand yelling." Penny finished with the laundry and set the basket near the washer. Then she spun around to face Sadie and frowned. "I feel bad for you… um look I know we got off to a bad start, but if you don't want to be alone you can come up and wait in my apartment." Sadie walked over to Penny. "What is there to wait for? They fight all day and night making sleep impossible and then the next morning is exactly the same." Penny thought for a moment and crossed her arms smiling. "Well my friend Amy is out of state and my other friend Bernadette is working and we were supposed to have a girls night so we could have a sleepover tonight if you want. Then you'd get a good night's sleep and you wouldn't have to listen to the arguing." Sadie smiled and walked over towards Penny. "Sure what apartment number are you i'll get my stuff." Penny hugged Sadie and after three long awkward seconds of silence she let go and answered. "4B, just knock and i'll let you in. See ya soon!" Sadie got out a can of lysol from her bag and started spraying herself. "That was completely unsanitary… but yes i'll see you later." Then she walked out of the room. Penny picked up the basket and paused… She started thinking about all the things Sadie had done and how much she reminded her of Sheldon. "They'll get along very well." She said smiling at how ironic this whole problem was. Then she walked up to her apartment and got another glass of wine and sat down on the couch, waiting for the lonely little Sadie to return.
Approximately two minutes later Penny stood up to hear… *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Penny!" *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Penny!" *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Penny!" she walked towards the door mumbling how she expected nothing less considering Sheldon had done it countless times before. She opened her door to find Sadie with her messenger bag with her hand still poised in a knocking position. Sadie walked in and sat her bag down on the couch, then she walked to every seat and sat down until she found a seat that she was comfortable with. Meanwhile Penny shut the door and walked towards the kitchen to get yet another bottle of wine. "Sadie you want anything to drink?" Sadie shook her head. "Not unless you have herbal tea or hot chocolate that is heated to precisely 183 degrees." Penny grabbed a box behind her filled with different teas and selected the herbal tea. "I have herbal tea, that sound good?" Sadie nodded and Penny got started on making it, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Penny set the tea down on the counter and walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Leonard. "Hey Penny, the guys wanted to know if you wanted to join us for paintball?" Penny frowned. "I can't I have company, sorry Leonard." Sheldon obviously very upset walks out of his apartment. "Now we can't go and it's your fault." Leonard frowned. "I'm sorry about his childish behavior. Would you want to come over for dinner you can bring your guest?" Penny laughed. "Sure just get extra tangerine chicken." Leonard tilted his head confused. "Why extra tangerine chicken no one eats that except Sheldon?" Penny laughed. "Well not anymore it's my guests favorite as well." Then she smiled. "Thanks Leonard I appreciate it!" Then to show how much she appreciated it she pulled him closer and kissed him. Sheldon then walked up to the pair, rolled his eyes, and pulled them apart. "Please go get my food Leonard it's past my schedule as it is." Leonard rolled his eyes and stalked away throwing his hands up in the air in frustration. Sheldon then walked into his apartment gleeful to finally be getting food. Penny on the other hand walked over to Sadie about to explain what had occurred but Sadie cuts her off. "How did you know that it was chinese night and what I liked?" Penny's mouth dropped open yet again that day. "It was just a lucky guess." Sadie stood up and shook her head no. "There is no such thing as luck in the science world there is just pure hard fact with supporting evidence." Penny ignores her comment and walks towards the door. "Well lets go we have nothing to do and I guess meeting my friends isn't that bad." They walked across the hall and Sadie had her hand poised ready to knock again when Howard opened the door. "Come on in ladies!" Sadie started to twitch and Penny rolled her eyes. "Howard can you shut the door for a second she does the same knocky thing Sheldon does." Howard frowned and shut the door. Then Sadie smiled. *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Guys!" *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Guys!" *Knock, Knock, Knock* "Guys!" Then Howard opened the door again and they walked in to see Raj sitting on the couch and Sheldon getting a drink. Sadie walked over to Sheldon's spot and sat down.
Howard froze up and Raj started giggling, Penny spoke up though. "You can't sit there Sadie." Sadie got comfy. "Why not? I mean in the winter it's close enough to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close to cause perspiration. In the summer it's directly in the path of a cross breeze created by opening windows there and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct thus discouraging conversation nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion. I could go on but I think I have a reason to sit here."
Everyone stared at the girl, mouths wide open. Sheldon smiled at the girl "You are a very ingenious girl Sadie and it would be a pleasure to have you sit in my spot…. um, just for tonight." Sadie smiled "Why thank you… I never got a name from you at the comic book store all I met was a guy named Howard." Sheldon started making hot chocolate and glanced at the girl. "I'm Sheldon and if you are as smart as I assume you are i'm guessing you know that I am the youngest to graduate college at 14 years old and that I have a doctorate in theoretical physics." Sadie smirked and crossed her legs. "Yes well I graduated from college at the age of eleven and I have a doctorate in the same thing although I did tell one of your friends that already. I'm surprised you didn't hear me. Then again you may not have been listening too intently." Sheldon gasped and looked straight at Sadie. "I cannot believe another one of my homo novis nature is alive!" Then he got back to his hot chocolate and Raj finally spoke up. "I'm Raj and you look familiar Sadie." Sheldon looked at Raj. "Well yes she was the girl at the comic book store that I helped, but that was already established though." Sadie nodded and got out some hand sanitizer. "Yes that is very true Sheldon. And Raj, Sheldon was the most likable and helpful person that I asked no offense." Howard laughed and pointed at Sheldon. "Sheldon… likable…. helpful?!" Then Sadie frowned. "I'm guessing you don't have a doctorate do you?" Then Sheldon laughed as Howard hung his head and looked at the ground. "No, I don't… But just because you're smart doesn't mean i'm not." Sadie giggled. "But that's exactly what it means." Howard started whispering to Raj and Leonard walked in with food. "Why is that girl in Sheldon's spot?" he asked surprised while setting down the food. Sheldon shrugged his shoulders. "Well her name is Sadie first of all and she gave me a very good argument about why she likes the spot so I figured why not… it's just for tonight." Leonard turned to face Sheldon "Wait you gave her your spot AFTER she gave you a convincing argument?! That never happens! You never even let people explain themselves usually." Then Sheldon walked over and sat down plates and they got out the food. "Why is there two orders of tangerine chicken?" Sheldon asked confused holding up both packages. Sadie grabbed one of the containers that he was holding. "It's mine." Then she opened it up and started to eat it. After a second though she stopped. "This isn't tangerine it's clearly orange HOW dare those people substitute orange with tangerine that isn't tangerine chicken it's ORANGE chicken." Everyone stopped and stared at her remembering when Sheldon had complained about the same thing and even went as far as learning mandarin to complain to the manger in his native language. Then Sheldon frowned and looked towards Sadie. "Yes I know, I tried to fight with the company about it but they just won't listen to me and change it so I try to imagine like I ordered orange chicken in the first place." Sadie nodded at the enhanced knowledge of Sheldon and she started to eat again.
A few minutes later when everyone had finished Sheldon stood up and pronounced excitedly "It's Friday night so it's game night! Who's turn is it to pick? Can I pick oh please. Oh can we please, please, please play Mystic warlords of Ka'a?!" Leonard frowned and so did Howard and Raj. "No, you only picked that game because you win everytime." Raj said upset. Sadie crossed her arms and stood up. "I say we play, it is against social protocol to deny a friends request and might I say it is quite rude on your behalf as well." Then she opened up her bag and grabbed a new pack of the game and set it down. Sheldon smiled and grabbed them up opening them. "Goodie goodie goodie!" He then dealt them out to everyone.
About halfway into the game...the game was getting good and Howard had been giving everyone the play by play. "Wow the game is heating up! It's only against Leonard, Sadie, and Sheldon now." He shouted pretending to have a microphone in his hand. Then Sheldon smirked and played the Enchanted troll. "Leonard I know that you have the enchanted bunny, carrot of power, molten river and nest of snakes. How you got such terrible cards I don't know but you have to play your enchanted bunny and you lose!" Leonard threw down his cards and smiled walking away excited to finally be done with the game. Howard on the other hand was still narrating. "And then there were two! What is Sadie going to play? Will Sheldon know what she has and win once again?" Sadie threw down a ruby sword and Sheldon retaliated with a cursed mace then Sadie put down a Lava serpent and Sheldon put down an invisibility spell. Sadie smiled. "Well considering that, that was the last invisibility spell then I know that you only have a Luminescence spell, brimstone, fire demon, and sulfur all of which are high cards but are all beat by the one and only water demon. I also know that you would then play the fire demon sending us into sudden death put since there is only two lesser warlords three enchanted bunnies and one small rock in the undrawn stack I assume that when I put down my phantom warlord you would either pick up an enchanted bunny or a lesser warlord both making you lose so therefore I automatically win!" Then she threw her cards down and smiled. Sheldon sat back shocked with his mouth wide open. "No one beats me at Ka'a, no one." He replied sadly. Penny spoke up. "How did you beat Sheldon? Even better question how did you know all of that!? That was AMAZING!" Sadie smiled and noticed everyone's shocked faces. "Close your mouths it's not that amazing… well from your vantage point it most definitely seems like it doesn't it. I have something called an eidetic memory it's not extraordinary or anything I mean Sheldon has it too." Then she stood up and walked towards the fridge and grabbed a water out. "So your telling me that you have some creepy photographic memory that Sheldon has and he couldn't tell what your cards were?!" Penny called out while Sheldon stood up and whimpered. "No I knew perfectly well what three of her cards were she just didn't give me a chance to figure out what the last one was. And Penny it's eidetic not photographic." He explained. Then Sadie walked over to Sheldon and held out her other hand. "You are a very worthy opponent and I believe that if we played one on one in the first place you most likely would have won." He shook her hand and smiled. "Why thank you Sadie of course I would have it was them that messed up the game of champions." Sadie laughed and sat down. Then a loud shout was heard from in the hall. "SADIE!" Sadie stood up and approached the door. "Sorry that's my mom give me a second." she opened the door and her mom stood with her hands on her hips frowning. "You were supposed to stay AT THE APARTMENT!" Sadie backed into the apartment with her hands over her ears and her mom followed. "You know I do not like yelling mother and yes I understand the concept of staying somewhere but you never told me to stay anywhere, half the time you don't talk to me and anyways you and your new boyfriend are always yelling or kissing so why do you care what I do." Sheldon stood next to Sadie. "I think I know you from somewhere." Sadie's mom's eyes widen at the statement. "Nope I guess it was someone else I haven't met you before in my life." Then she took Sadie's arm and tried to drag her out. "Come on Sadie I have to go makeup with my new boyfriend so we get more money for food and you have to go to bed… or um whatever it is you do."
Sadie shook her head and removed her hand from her mother's desperate grip. "No mother i'm going to stay with my new friends that actually like me and care about me." Her mother sighed and held her head. Sheldon meanwhile pointed at her and then crossed his arms. "Yes I do know you I recall that it was May 14, 2000 and you started handing out flyers for a progeny experiment. You were the one that offered us the job of a lifetime by letting scientists use us as part of the experiment. If I remember correctly you were handing out flyers to smart scientists at the university and me and Raj gave you a few ideas for the project and a long list of reasons of why they should be taken into consideration immediately. I believe your name was if i'm not mistaken." Sadie's mother shook her head no whilst Raj shook his head yes. "Yeah I remember that project it said on the flyer that specializes in the progeny experiment and that we could pay ten dollars and let them use some of our sperm to create a dominant child race for the future." Dr. Maxwell turned to Sadie. "Sadie this is all your fault for getting us in this mess! You're going to get it miss I can leave the apartment whenever I feel like it." she proclaimed. Sheldon frowned. "And then before we could see how the project was going, there was a note from you that said you had to shut down the experiment because no one was showing up and I never understood why it was shut down." he questioned curiously. started to shift from one foot to the other until she finally couldn't take it anymore "The truth was I wasn't doing an experiment I was trying to get a child to pick up guys with so I tricked whoever looked desperate enough. Then I shut it down so they would never know what happened." Sadie thought for a second and then gasped putting two and two together. "Wait a second I was a test TUBE baby! Out of desperation!" Penny opened her mouth and stepped forward "Wait guys, think for a second if Sadie was a test tube baby and she acts like someone almost exactly... wouldn't we know who Sadie's dad was?" Raj nodded and then all of the guys gasped shocked at what they had figured out." Sadie a bit confused stepped toward Penny. "Please clarify what you mean?" Penny smiled. "Well sweetie you act a lot like someone in this room and there is a good possibility that he is your father... if i'm right… which most times i'm not." Sadie nodded and stood next to Penny." walked closer to Sadie. "Well of course the blondie is right since the containers I collected were alphabetical I took the first one I came across and it just happened to be the annoying, one and only 's which created Sadie Lee Cooper. Since of course she loves her dad more than me she is your responsibility for the rest of time. Have fun with Sheldon 2.0." Then stomped out and slammed the door. Howard started laughing "Sheldon has a daughter… This i...is priceless." Raj and Leonard stared at Sadie with their mouths wide opened surprised while Penny smiled and looked at Sheldon who was trying to comprehend what he had just heard. "I cannot believe I was actually right for once." Penny said while she sat down on the arm of the couch. Sadie blinked and then opened the door and ran across the hall to Penny's and slammed the door. While Sheldon at the same moment rushed to his room and slammed the door behind him. Leonard meanwhile had snapped out of his surprised trance and smacked his forehead. "They ARE exactly like each other how about I call down Sheldon 1.0 and you calm down Sheldon 2.0 and lets say we meet up here in about five minutes." Penny nodded and headed towards her apartment while Leonard headed towards Sheldon's room. Meanwhile in the living room a very entertained Howard and a very Shocked Raj sat down. "Dude they forgot about us what will we do?" Howard smiled evilly. "How bout we wait for the drama of Sheldon's daughter to unfold in front of us." Raj shrugs. "Alright cool!"
