Gold and purple banners were placed throughout the hall. It smelled like tacos as I neared the cafeteria. I saw a 17 year old Penny, surrounded by meatheads. She was radiant with blush of youth.

I didn't dare scare her by approaching her without reason, "Ms. Queen?"

Penelope "Penny" Regina Queen turned to face me in a green Hawaiian halter top dress that ended at the top of her knees. "That would be me."

"Cal-Tech is interested in helping you develop your management skills. The Pasadena Cheesecake Factory requires a manager, then a new district manager in 5 years." I handed her a packet with a paperclip holding a college application that was mostly filled out. A job application for a manager's position was behind the college one. "It will give you a chance to get away from Nebraska."

Penny was too busy browsing the packet to notice my longing look then my leaving. Her face contorted as she saw the conditions at the Cheesecake Factory.

I made sure to include small and large health regulations broken like the lack of latex gloves plus sick personnel allowed to work. I put in the suggestion of 6 hour work days for the waiting staff since I remembered how frequently Penny would complain about her achy feet.

The graduation luncheon was walking tacos which explained the reason for earlier smell. Lemonade was stored in 5 gallon coolers that one would see at football games. A fruit salad was evidently their dessert. I discreetly put the salad on top of ice trays to prevent food poisoning.

I used one of the school's library computers to email Leonard an application to NYCU, to prevent him from meeting Penny. I was going to be selfish by also stopping him from ruining my Artic Expedition. In order for Amy Farrah-Fowler and Leonard to "hit it off", I sent them an open invitation to meet.

I stayed to watch Penny toss her cap in the air as was the custom.

I bought a lottery ticket with the winning numbers to pay for the scholarship trust that I set up for Penny to pay for her tuition. I didn't want to give her any reason not to continue her education.

A week later, I hacked into Cal-Tech's servers to see to if Penelope signed up for courses. I was extremely pleased to discover she was going to minor in culinary arts with a management major.

During that week, I had checked up on my associate, Rajesh. He had been disowned by his Indian parents after he told them he was homosexual. His partner, Joshua Willis (John Willis' grandson- owner of Willis Auto Campus) was a fashion designer who had plenty of money while they live in Hawaii, close to the telescopes Raj loves. Josh helped Raj dress in pleasing aspects. I guess, my interference with this timeline caused a few things to change. Oh, Rajesh has no problem speaking to non-related females.

Another change was Bernadette's father dying in the line of duty, causing her and her mother to move to Pasadena sooner thus she met Howard sooner.

Penny never gets to meet Kurt since hse won't attend the community college.

I have no more matter to attend to before I could die back in my timeline, my past self.
