Hi all, I don't own the Big Bang Theory or any Characters except Ally she is totally mine. This is supposed to be set after the second series. I wondered what it would be like if there was another girl in the group, one who actually like sci- fi and was hot! Please review this is my first fan fiction so hopefully I will only get better.

Also sorry if I didn't get Sheldon quite right, he is very hard to write dialogue for!

Penny was lonely; she had been lonely for the last 4 months ever since her geeky neighbours went to the Arctic. Penny knew she was going to miss them especially Leonard but she never thought she would miss them this much; she even missed Howard and Raj. Penny filled her nights with various dates that she went on more for the company than actually liking any of the guys. She just couldn't get Leonard out of her head. She spend hours on the internet looking up facts about the Arctic and tried to imagine the guys there, what would they be doing, what would they be like when they got back.

Penny was spending her Friday night trying to get her head around a Battle star galactic box set when her phone rang.

'Hi Penny this is Stuart'

'Hey Stuart, what's up?'

'Well I kind of have a favour to ask, my cousin is moving here for a few months from England and I was hoping you could maybe take her out some time?'

'Um, sure. When is she getting here?'

'Well that's the thing she's actually been here for two weeks and she's been hanging around the comic book store everyday. She actually moved here to get over a break up so I think she could do with a bit more fun and I don't really know where to take her so…' Stuart let his sentence trail off hoping that Penny would help him out.

'Ok, I'll come by the store tomorrow say 11ish?' Penny knew all about having a broken heart and immediately felt sorry for the girl.

'That's great, and could you not mention the fact that I called you, she says she doesn't want anyone's pity.'

'No problem, see you tomorrow.'

Penny was secretly excited about going to the comic book store, she didn't have a reason to go since the guys left but she wanted to be around the things that they loved, the only thing that stopped her was the thought that Stuart might think she was there to see him.

Penny spotted the girl as soon as she walked through the door; she was far too pretty to be in there of her own accord. Long red hair hung in a wave down her back, and big blue eyes drew your attention straight to her pretty face.

'Hey Penny, what brings you here?' Stuart called out as Penny stood in the door way.

'Oh not much' Penny played along

'This is my cousin Ally'

'Hey Ally, I'm, Penny'

'Hi, are you a good friend of Stu's' Ally asked

'Yeah, you could say that. Are you from England?'

'Yeah I'm from London, just over here on a working Visa. Helping my cuz out in his store.'

'Great. Do you know many people in town?'

'No just Stuart and I'm starting to get to know a few of the regulars, but there not very chatty.'

'Well I was hoping to go out for lunch but my friends just cancelled, want to come with me?' Penny quickly lied.

Ally looked at Stuart a little unsure, 'Sure go ahead' Stuart encouraged.

'Alright but I am going to look at your taxes when I come back just the same.' Ally called as she and Penny headed out the door.

'So' Penny began once they were in her car 'how come you moved here anyway'

'Well I was having a rough time at home and needed the break.' Ally confessed

'Bad break up?' When Ally didn't answer Penny continued 'you don't have to tell me about that'

'Well I'm trying not to think of it, I mean I'm in LA I am determined that the next 6 months are going to be awesome. With no men to complicate things.' Ally declared. 'So where are we going? And how did my interfering cousin persuade you to take me out?'

Penny laughed and tried to compose herself 'you got me, but don't worry all he did was ask. To be honest I'm glad of the company as well, see I like this guy and he left town a few months ago so any distraction is good at the minute.'

Ally smiled at Penny as she pulled in to the restaurant car park. 'I think were going to get along fine'

Over the next two months Penny and Ally became inseparable, they realised they had lots in common one of which being a fondness for geeky guys, so they spent a lot of time rating the customers at the comic book store. Ally had come up with a great way to make money and to increase the business at the comic book store that combined her two favourite things, fancy dress and fantasy. Although Ally worked at the comic book store most days she also got Stuart to agree to let Penny help out now and then as well, it wasn't hard to convince him as, as soon as both the girls were dressed up in spandex, like superheroes, business almost doubled for him.

Working at the comic book store meant that Penny could cut down on her shifts at the Cheesecake factory and had more time to go to auditions; she had already gotten work in two commercials and had a call back for a recurring character on a new soap opera.

'It's not a main character, but it's a start!' Penny declared one night when the girls were watching old movies and doing each others nails.

'Exactly! I think your going to be great' Ally said supportively 'thanks for letting me stay here by the way. If I have to listen to Stuart and his new girlfriend doing the business for one more night I think I might have killed them. I mean do they have to be so loud, it's just inconsiderate.' Ally blew on her toes to dry the polish while Penny got up to re fill there margaritas.

'Hey is this the guys from across the hall?' Ally asked holding up a framed picture of Penny, Leonard and Sheldon.

'Yeah, that's them Sheldon's on the left and Leonard's on the right.'

'Wow I can see why you like Leonard he is very cute. Sheldon's cute to though I like his glasses'

'What, no, Leonard's has glasses not Sheldon, Let me see that photo?'

Ally passed the frame across to Penny.

'Yeah sorry Leonard is on the left and Sheldon's on the right. Oh my god did you say that you thought Sheldon was really cute?' Penny broke into peals of laughter causing some of her margarita to go up her nose.

'What's funny, he is cute; actually I think he's pretty hot!' Ally defended herself.

'Just wait until you meet him' And that was all Ally could get out of Penny on the subject for the rest of the night.
