Author's Note: REVIEW! Pretty please!
Sheldon Cooper sat on his spot, thinking about change. More specifically, a change that had occurred without his knowledge or consent.
Sheldon Cooper was a man of routine, to say the least.
Every minute of his day, pretty much every minute of his existence was planned out. Until a certain actress/waitress came along and disturbed it all.
Suddenly, Sheldon found himself with four friends, three. He sat there, wondering when he began to plan things so Penny would be included. He had never done that. Howard and Raj came with Leonard and without them Sheldon had no one. He didn't need Penny.
But somehow, she had become an instrumental part of his life. Leonard had slipped out of the role of best friend and she had slipped in. They had fallen into an easy routine. It was almost effortless. She accompanied the guys on their excursions to the comic book store and was beginning to qualify as a "nerd". He didn't mind having her around anymore. She woke up every day on Saturday to eat cereal with him and watch Doctor Who. He was allowed to organize her apartment once a week. She was allowed to take him somewhere spontaneously once every three weeks. Yes, they were most definitely best friends.
But something about their relationship perplexed him. He started feeling odd whenever she came over. His pulse would race and his hands would start to prespire. He would feel a bit nauseous and his face would twitch. He had never felt like this.
He stood from his spot when he heard the phone ring. "Hello." he said
"How's my Shelly doing? I was just calling to let ya know I'm coming to see you." His mother said brightly from the other end.
Sheldon sighed, then brightened. Maybe she could help with this...feeling. "When will you be arriving Mother?"
"Tomorrow at about two. Will you have Leonard or that charmin' girl from across the hall come pick me up? What was her name? Patty?"
"Penny will be there to pick you up. Goodbye mother."
"See ya tomorrow, Shelly."
He hung up, still thinking about Penny. Speaking of whom, said waitress walked into the apartment, ready for a Superman movie marathon. Sheldon felt his heart rate pick up when she smiled at him. 'What on earth is happening to me?' Sheldon thought as they started the first movie.
