Sheldon wasn't sure how he had ended up in Dodger Stadium, his long limbs squished into a seat between Raj and Penny, but he was positive it had something to do with the woman seated to his right. The baseball game was in full swing but he was trying to distract himself from the game by reciting first the Period Table of Elements and then every scientist known to man in his head. It was no use though and instead his thoughts were drawn into the past.
He hated being reminded of his childhood. Pee Wee Baseball had been a forced constant every summer until he had left for Germany.
Baseball still left a bad taste in his mouth, simply because the little baseball diamond his team had been given was continually dusty and devoid of any sort of shrub. The dust had often blown into his face, eyes and mouth, leaving him to gasp for breath in the outfield while Missy's bat cracked against the ball, slamming it over the simple chain length fence.
The bitterness of lemon snoballs after the game had never completely erased the taste, and had only served to make his hands both dirty and sticky.
He was jolted out of his memories when his right hand was violently tugged on. He blinked, once, twice before turning to glare at Penny. He opened his mouth to ask what in the world she thought she was doing yanking on his hand like that, she could hurt someone for goodness sake, when suddenly her hand was threading through the hair at the back of his neck and her lips were on his.
His hands gripped the armrests of his seat, a shiver snapping his spine straight before he realized that Penny was kissing him. There was no movement from him for several seconds and then unexpectedly he was kissing her back.
It seemed like it had been light years, but the kiss had merely lasted seconds. He blinked at her owlishly, her lips reddened in a way that made his stomach invert itself.
Suddenly he was aware of the stares of Howard and Leonard, and he was sure Raj was choking on the popcorn that he had advised against.
Penny however, was simply giving him a smile and pointed to the large TV that showed the game for those in higher seats.
"Kiss cam." She said giving him a smile before settling into her seat and taking the box of popcorn from Leonard's limp hand.
