"Penny, let me make you some tea. Neither of us has to be at work tomorrow. Let talk about this a little. It helps to talk about him."
Penny shook her head in agreement and Leonard left to start the tea. Leonard phone lit up with a text. It was from Raj telling Leonard to turn on the TV. Raj had gone back to India for a few weeks to be a guest lecturer at a new observatory and hopefully see a new comet. Penny tossed the phone on the bed thinking Raj wasn't paying attention to the time zones again. Her phone chirped with a text from Howard with a similar message. Leonard called out that the tea was ready and she walked out to the kitchen.
Penny and Leonard sat at the counter and shared some of the memories about Sheldon. They were lost in their memories when they realized their tea had started to grow cold. A loud banging was heard on the front door with Howard shouting. Before they could stand up, Howard opened the door with a spare key.
"For heaven sake people, turn on the TV! I've been calling and texting! Raj has been trying as well."
"Howard, you wanna catch me up here? Penny had a rough night with another nightmare. I'm not sure this is a good time. Yes, we know Raj is in India and maybe found his comet while there. We were talking about Sheldon and ….
Howard pushed Leonard out of the way as he turned on the tv and tried to find a channel.
"Leonard! Shut up and look. Sheldon is alive!"
Leonard and Penny turned their attention towards the TV at a 24 hour new channel based in London.
A small yacht was recently found a drift. It had become disabled during a hurricane and lost it mast along with the radio antenna. When they didn't check in for several days, a search team was called in as one of the passengers was a minor European celebrity. After a few weeks of not finding anything or hearing anything more, it was presumed the ship was lost. The yacht eventually drifted near a shipping lane where it was eventually spotted. It took several more weeks before a rescue tug could catch up and bring it to Hawaii.
The new station was replaying a bedside interview that the celebrity was giving from the hospital. When asked how they survived for so long without help, she boasted how they had some sort of a beautiful mind guy on board that was wicked smart and knew so much stuff about everything. The camera panned to next bed over. Bandaged up, laid Sheldon sleeping. The celebrity walked over and gave a small kiss to his forehead and whispered, "Thank you Sheldon for everything."
Penny slowly reached up and touched the TV. Her fingers gingerly touched the screen as though she was trying to reach Sheldon. A small tear escaped from her eye as she turned around to see Amy standing in the door with Bernadette.
Three women ran towards each other for a group hug. "Amy!" Penny shouted. "He is alive. He is alive!"
