Here is a story mainly about Penny on how she got with Kurt and how she got to California. So no commitment issues at that time.

June 2004

Penny was waiting in line wearing her cap and gown, next to who happen to be Donny on of her exes. She do not know how he was graduating. Somehow she even made it to graduation. A few people in front of her was Rosie, her best friend. All of sudden there he was, Rosie's older brother Kurt. As he was talking to his sister, he glanced at Penny and smiled. Penny remember two years ago at Kurt's graduation he promised her that he would come back and take her to California so they could be together and she could be a famous actress.

Penny saw him walk towards her, when the guidance councilor told Kurt to leave. She saw Kurt get in her face but he left once the principal showed up. Penny felt disappointed because she wanted to know if he was going to hold his promise. She would have to wait after the ceremony.

During the ceremony as her name was called, Penny heard screaming and horns from all her family members and friends that graduated a year or two before she did. Finally she crossed her tassle from the right to the left and threw her cap in the air. She found her family, her mom took pictures of all her family members and all her friends. Then Penny barrowed her moms camera and took pictures of her friends. Then Rosie grabbed the camera and snapped one of Penny and Kurt.

Kurt leaned down to her, "Rosie said that your party is tomorrow night. Well now you are out of school how about you finally leave with me? California is calling your name. We will leave after your party sexy!"

Penny turned with a big smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the lips "Lets do it!" Penny never felt this excited.

The morning of her graduation party, Penny was sitting down with her parents at breakfast. Suddenly she felt nervous knowing they would not be happy, but Penny wanted her dream becoming an actress come true and Kurt was going to help that dream come true. Penny looked up and watched her mom and dad eat in silence. "Hey Mom and Dad, can we talk?"

They both looked up at her with both a worried smile. "What is it slugger?" Wyatt would never stop calling his little girl that.

Penny sat closer to them while she started to fiddle with her hands. "Well tonight after my party I have an opportunity to go to Califorina with Rosie's brother Kurt. So I'm going."

Susan felt hurt as she got up and walked to the sink and looked out the window. As Wyatt frowned at Penny, got up and walked out of the house. Penny knew she hurt both of them, suddenly she did not feel hungry. She just went to her room to call Kurt.

Dispite her parents being upset with her, they still threw her an amazing party. But before she was too drunk, Wyatt and Susan pulled her aside with Kurt refusing to leave her side. Wyatt wanted to make sure Penny was taken care off. "Listen Slugger, before you leave tonight we want to let you know we want your dreams come true. With that I want you to promise us you will go to at least a community college and get a job until you find that acting role. Also here is some money to get you are car and other essitials to get you by for awhile." Wyatt handed Penny an envelope.

Penny opened it felt shocked, "Daddy this is too much!" She started handing it back to them

Wyatt and Susand put their hands up, "No that is for you. I want my Slugger taken care of." Then Wyatt turned and looked ul to Kurt, "Now you! You hurt her any way or form I will come to California and will first bet you with my baseball bat and then shoot you in the ass with my forty-five caliber." He felt anger at this young man he barely knew taking his daugther away

Kurt laughed and stepped closer and looked someway down to Wyatt and watched him push Susan a way a little, "I would like to see you try old man. You tried with her other ex boyfriend's, how am I any different. Penny is mine now." Him and Wyatt were face to face now.

Penny hated this so she stepped between them and pushed them apart, "Kurt, Daddy, please I love you both." Then she turned to her dad and looked between her him and her mom. "I need to do this okay please. I can take care of myself."

Wyatt stepped closer to Penny and hugged her. Penny returned the favor. "I love you Slugger, just let me know when you made it, okay?" Wyatt just watched her nod.

Penny then went to Susan, "I love you mom."

Susan pulled her daughter into a hug . "If Kurt does not work out, you find a good man who will love you for who you are and never wants to change you. Promise me?"

Penny hugged her mom back. "Fine I promise, but I think Kurt will be the one I want to be with forever."

Penny said her goodbyes and packed up her things. Then got in the car with Kurt feeling exited and scared at the same time.

Present Day

Penny was sitting on her couch opening up a package her mom sent. Penny felt happy as she realized her mom sent her a box of old pictures. Just then she saw Leonard walk into the kitchen. "Hey pretty lady, what do you got there?" He asked as he looked over to her, getting a water out of the fridge.

Penny smiled at him, "Oh mom sent me old pictures from high school and middle school. She didn't know what to do with them so I told her just to send them my way. Why don't come over here and look at them with me?" She patted the spot next to her as she asked her husband.

Leonard grabbed a second water for Penny, shrugged his shoulders, and went over to her. Leonard sat next to her as he handed a water. He grabbed a picture and looked at it. "Well I recognize your parents in that picture. Is that my cute blonde wife in a cap and gown? I never thought I would ever see, let alone a picture, you in a cap and gown."

Penny nudged him "Ha ha jackass. You're not funny!" She pushed him a little harder as she heard him laugh.

Leonard continued looking at them as Penny explained each picture. She froze when he came across the picture kissing Kurt from her high school graduation. "Lets just throw that one out." Penny knew how Leonard felt about that man whore as she tried grabbing the picture from him.

Leonard just decide to play keep away and was laughing as she was now laying on top of him. He lost as she kissed him hard on the lips. She pulled the picture out of his hands and ran to the trash can and threw it away.

Leonard frowned at his wife as she sat next to him again. "Why did you do that?"

Penny frowned back at him, "Because it was Kurt. I know how you felt about him. Plus that asshole is the past."

Leonard smiled, "What are you saying?"

Penny rolled her eyes, "Okay fine. He was before you came in my life. I rather not think about my past with him except when we broke up. Because if I never broke up with him I would never have met you or never would have kissed you that Halloween night. Also as much there are days we drive each other crazy, I cant imagian not being married to you."

Leonard smiled at her and pulled her into a hug and kissed her. He broke the kiss as much by Penny's response did not want it to end. Leonard decided to tease her some as he still held her. "Awe!!! you love me and you can't live without me. I knew my nerdiness won you over."

Penny pushed back some trying to hide her smile. It was hard because Leonard had a smug smile to his face. "Oh shut up! Yes I picked you and probably always will, because before you and between you life sucked. Hope you happy you smug jackass!"

Leonard chuckled some more and pulled her into another kiss.
