Chapter 2
The next day at school Matteron was greeted by her friends throwing their arms around her squealing with excitement.
" Ah get off of me!", Matteron screamed as her friends released their grip on her.
" Is it true that you and Alex are dating now?!", Marissa excitedly asked.
" Yeah is it Matty?!", Samantha excitedly asked.
" Cause if it is I am so happy for you bestie!", Nova excitedly said.
" What?! How did you guys know about that?!", Matteron shockingly asked.
" Dude it's all over the school website!", Nova excitedly said as she showed Matteron the school website home page on her cell phone. There in all its glory was a picture of Matteron and Alex sitting in the tree at the park kissing each other. There was a caption written below it.
" Pasadena High's newest couple, Matteron Fowler-Cooper and Alex Wheaton!", Matteron shockingly said. Instantly she began to panic.
" Oh no! This can't be happening!", Matteron panically said.
" What's the problem Matteron?", Nova asked.
" Nova the problem is if my dad sees that he's gonna be furious!", Matteron panically said.
" And why would he be furious Matty?", Nova asked.
" Nova do you even know who Alex's father is?!", Matteron panically asked.
" Not a clue.", Nova said.
" Who's his father?", Marissa asked.
" His father is Wil Wheaton! Him and my dad kind of hate each other!", Matteron panically said.
" What? You mean your dad and Wil Wheaton?", Samantha asked.
" Yes Sam! Which is why I don't want my dad seeing me kissing the son of his nemesis!", Matteron screamed.
" Dude you're overreacting about this! Alex is nothing like his dad!", Nova said.
" That's easy for you to say Nova! You're not in the situation that I'm in!", Matteron screamed. Then she said, " And who posted this anyway?!"
" Don't get mad but it was Satara Sullivan.", Nova nervously said.
" Nova can I see your phone for a quick second?!", Matteron angrily asked.
" Sure Matty.", Nova said as she handed over her cell phone to Matteron.
" Thank you!", Matteron angrily said. Then she stormed down the hallway toward Satara and her friends and shouted, " SATARA SULLIVAN!" Satara looked up and said, " What you loser?!"
" What is the meaning of posting THIS to the school website?!", Matteron angrily asked as she flashed Nova's cell phone in front of Satara's face.
" Um maybe to break you two up. Alex is mine.", Satara said with a smirk on her face.
" Ok first off Alex doesn't even like you and secondly that ain't happening Satara!", Matteron angrily said.
" Well that's not up to you, it's up to your dad. In fact I sent him an email.", Satara said as she smirked.
" You did not!", Matteron angrily said.
" Uh yeah I did. Which means you're gonna be in big trouble.", Satara said.
" I'm dead!", Matteron angrily said as she threw her hands up.
" Come on Matty your dad's at work. He probably won't even read it.", Marissa said but then Matteron's cell phone rang. Matteron looked at the caller ID and screamed, " It's my dad!" Satara and her friends began to laugh at her.
" Well answer it Matty.", Samantha said as the laughter continued but Matteron turned around and shouted, " Shut up!" before she answered her cell phone.
" Uh hi dad.", Matteron nervously said.
" Hello Matteron.", Sheldon said.
" Why are you calling me? I'm at school.", Matteron nervously said.
" Oh no reason except to ask you a very important question.", Sheldon said.
" Which is what dad?", Matteron nervously asked.
" Explain this email that I got from Satara Sullivan that shows a picture of you kissing Wil Wheaton's son?", Sheldon asked.
" What did he say?", Marissa asked. Matteron took the phone away from her ear for a second and frightenly whispered, " He saw the email Marissa!" Satara and her friends laughed again but Matteron shouted, " I said shut up! I'm on the phone with my dad!" before she put the phone back to her ear.
" Ok I'm back dad.", Matteron nervously said.
" Matteron what is going on? And don't lie to me.", Sheldon said.
" Nothing. What makes you think something's going on?", Matteron nervously asked as she began to laugh.
" You are lying to me.", Sheldon said.
" No no I'm not.", Matteron nervously said.
" Yes you are. Are you seeing Wil Wheaton's son?", Sheldon asked.
" Uh...", Matteron nervously started to say but then she let out a defeated sigh and said, " Yes."
" Well then brace yourself for what I have to say because it's...", Sheldon said but then he raised his voice saying, " How could you betray your mother and I like this?! Why are you seeing him?!" Matteron flinched at the sound of her father's voice yelling at her through her phone as she pulled the phone away from her ear for a second but then she put it back to her ear and said, " Because I like him and he likes me."
" No daughter of mine is going to be seen with Wil Wheaton's son! Do you hear me?!", Sheldon shouted.
" But dad!", Matteron protested.
" No! Now when I get off of work I'm going to tell Wil Wheaton to keep his son away from you!", Sheldon shouted.
" But dad!", Matteron protested.
" No!", Sheldon shouted as he hung up the phone in his office. Satara and her friends continued to laugh their heads off.
" Oh this is too rich!", Satara laughed as she smacked hands with her friends.
" Thanks a lot Satara! You just got me in trouble with my dad!", Matteron shouted.
" Whoops not my problem Matteron Cooper!", Satara laughed. Matteron let out an agrivated groan as she stormed down the hallway passing Nova's cell phone back to Nova. The girls continued walking away as Satara and her friends continued laughing.
" That girl is such an idiot!", Satara laughed.
" Yeah she is and her name is stupid too!", Britney, Satara's best friend laughed.
" Yeah! What kind of a name is Matteron Fowler-Cooper?!", Reba laughed. The three girls threw themselves on the floor with laughter. Later at Wil Wheaton's house, Sheldon shouted, " Do me a favor Wheaton and keep your son away from my daughter!"
" And keep your daughter away from my son!", Wil Wheaton shouted.
" Well then I guess this conversation is over!", Sheldon shouted as he began to leave. Alex walked in and shouted, " You can't keep me away from your daughter Dr. Cooper!"
" I can and I will!", Sheldon shouted as he continued leaving.
" No you can't because I'm in love with her!", Alex shouted as his father slammed the door shut.
" You are not allowed to love her Alex!", Wil Wheaton shouted.
" I don't care dad because I will find ways to see her!", Alex shouted.
" She's a threat to us!", Wil Wheaton shouted.
" No she's not! She's my girlfriend and I love her!", Alex shouted as he ran upstairs. Just before he got to his room his mother walked out of the guest room and said, " Alex what's the problem?"
" Mom the problem is dad won't let me see Dr. Cooper's daughter!", Alex angrily said.
" What?! Wil!", Mrs. Wheaton shouted as she walked downstairs to confront her husband. As the married couple fought with each other Alex went into his bedroom, slammed the door shut and called Matteron on his cell.
" Matteron meet me at the park.", Alex said.
" But it's raining outside Alex.", Matteron said.
" I don't care just meet me there.", Alex said.
" Ok. I'll see you there.", Matteron said.
" Love you rose pedal.", Alex said with a smile.
" Love you too cupcake.", Matteron said with a smile as the two hung up. They snuck out their bedroom windows and met up at the park. As the rain poured down on them and they held hands with each other staring into each other's eyes Alex said, " My dad and your dad told each other to keep us apart!"
" I don't care! I want to be with you!", Matteron said.
" I want to be with you too! I love you Matteron Fowler-Cooper!", Alex said with a smile.
" I love you too Alex Wheaton!", Matteron said as she smiled and threw herself into Alex's arms as the two began spinning around in the rain sharing a kiss. No matter what Sheldon said nothing was going to keep Matteron away from her boyfriend. Same thing for Alex, no matter what Wil Wheaton said nothing was going to keep Alex away from his girlfriend. The two lovestruck teens would find ways to see each other no matter what it took. But unfortunately Sheldon found them together and shouted, "Matteron what are you doing?!"
" What dad?! You're interrupting my moment with my boyfriend!", Matteron shouted.
" I don't care! We are going home! End of discussion!", Sheldon shouted.
" But dad!", Matteron shouted.
" Now Matteron!", Sheldon shouted. Matteron frowned as she pulled away from Alex and walked away with her dad. Alex went home. As Sheldon and his daughter got in the car that his wife was driving Sheldon angrily said, " What did I tell you Matteron?! I said to stay away from Wil Wheaton's son!"
" He has a name and I don't care dad!", Matteron shouted.
" What is going on here?", Amy asked.
" Alex Wheaton is my boyfriend mom and dad won't let me see him!", Matteron cried.
" Sheldon!", Amy shouted.
" It's for her own good Amy.", Sheldon said.
" Oh so you think breaking your daughter's heart is for her own good?!", Amy shouted.
" What is that supposed to mean?!", Sheldon angrily asked as the two of them got into an argument. Matteron sat there in the backseat for a few minutes watching and listening to her parents fight with each other until she shouted, " Mom, Dad, stop fighting! This is really upsetting me!"
" You are fine Matteron.", Sheldon said.
" No I'm not dad! You're breaking my heart by telling me that I can't see Alex!", Matteron shouted.
" Well I don't approve of him.", Sheldon said.
" I don't care what you think dad! He's my boyfriend and I love him!", Matteron shouted as she continued to cry.
" Sheldon this is ridiculous! Look at what you are doing to your daughter!", Amy angrily said.
" Amy don't argue with me!", Sheldon angrily said as they continued arguing.
" Just stop!", Matteron cried. Instantly the two of them fell silent. The only sound that was heard was Matteron's crying. Matteron hated the fact that her parents were fighting with each other about her relationship with Alex. When they got back to the apartment building Matteron walked away from her parents and across the hall to Nova's.
" What are you doing Matteron?", Sheldon asked.
" I don't want to talk to you right now dad. I'm going to hang out with Nova for a while.", Matteron said as she knocked on the door to 4A. Leonard answered the door and said, " Oh hi Matteron."
" Hi Dr. Hofstadter, is Nova here?", Matteron asked.
" Yeah she is she's in her room. Come on in.", Leonard said as he opened the door.
" Thanks.", Matteron said as she stepped inside and Leonard shut the door.
" Hi sweetie." Penny said with a smile.
" Is everything ok?", Leonard asked.
" Not really. My dad won't let me see my boyfriend Alex Wheaton.", Matteron said as she walked down the hallway to her best friend's bedroom.
" What?!", Penny and Leonard shockingly said as Leonard opened the front door and the married couple went across the hall shouting, "Sheldon!" Meanwhile Matteron knocked on her best friend's bedroom door and said, " Nova?" Nova opened the door and said, " Oh hi Matteron. Come in." Matteron stepped inside and Nova shut the door.
" So what's up? Are you upset or something?", Nova asked.
" I guess you could say that.", Matteron said as she sat down on Nova's bed. Nova stopped texting her boyfriend, set her phone down, sat down next to her best friend and asked, " What's bothering you?"
" It's my dad he won't let me see Alex, Nova. On top of that him and my mom were fighting about it.", Matteron said with a sigh.
" Well all I have to say is this bestie, just give it some time. I'm sure your dad will come around eventually.", Nova said.
" I don't know he sounded pretty serious Nova.", Matteron said.
" Look he's just worried about you. My dad was worried about me when I first started dating Jordyn but eventually he accepted it and I'm sure after you date Alex for a while your dad will come to accept it too.", Nova said.
" Yeah but what if he never does? Then what do I do?", Matteron asked.
" Matty it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't. All that matters is that you and Alex love each other and care about each other.", Nova said.
" I would do anything to be with him.", Matteron said.
" I know you would.", Nova said.
" And one thing's for sure, I can't let that snobby Satara steal him from me.", Matteron said with a smirk on her face.
" You got that right bestie.", Nova said with a smirk as the two girls smacked hands with each other. But little did they know that someone was watching them from behind the webcam of Nova's laptop. Meanwhile at A. Johnson Science Corp., the guy monitoring the girls said, " Dr. Johnson come take a look at this." Dr. Atticus Johnson walked over and said, " What is it Agent McGavin?" as he watched the two best friends dance around the room. He instantly became interested.
" Interesting. Who are these two teenage girls?", Dr. Johnson asked.
" Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper and Nova Tina Hofstadter.", another agent said as she put the pictures of the girls up on the big screen.
" Cooper and Hofstadter, I think I heard those names before. Hold on one second.", Dr. Johnson said as he walked over to his computer and did some research. His suspicions were correct as he said, " Ah yes my suspicions were correct! They're the daughters of Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, the theoretical and experimental physicists from CalTech University!"
" So what's the plan boss?", the female agent asked.
" The plan is we're gonna steal research files from CalTech so that I would be the first one to discover the theory of how the Earth was formed which in turn will make me the most famous mad scientist who ever lived!", Dr. Johnson shouted as he shot a fist into the air. His corporation gave him a round of applause.
" Thank you, you're too kind!", Dr. Johnson said as he placed his hand on his chest and bowed to his corporation. Then he fiercely said, "Agent McGavin and Agent Rex, front and center!" The two male agents walked over and stood in front of their boss.
" Yes boss?", Agent McGavin asked.
" I want you two to spy on these two girls! Find out what they know!", Dr. Johnson said.
" Then what do you want us to do boss?", Agent Rex asked.
" Then I want you to kidnap them and bring them here! These two teens are part of our plan! Our plan to destroy those two physicists!", Dr. Johnson said as he began to laugh maniacally. Then he seriously said, " Go." as the two agents left the corporation. Weeks passed and Matteron continued to see Alex despite her dad's wishes to stay away from him. It was same for Alex. He continued to see Matteron despite his dad's wishes to stay away from her. To make matters worse Matteron and Nova were completely unaware that two agents were watching their every move waiting for the right moment to strike and grab them. But just as the girls thought things would get worse something unexpected happened. A new girl came to Pasadena High. Her name was Mickaela Gonzalez. Satara and her friends bullied and tortured her but Matteron and her friends welcomed her into their social circle.
" Thanks for sticking up for me.", Mickaela said.
" No problem Mickaela.", Matteron, Nova, Marissa and Samantha said. From then on Mickaela became best friends with them. But one week later , tragedy struck. Just after 7:30 in the evening when Sheldon, Amy, Howard, Raj, Emily, Bernadette, Stuart, Matteron and the other girls were gathered in apartment 4A with the Hofstadters there was a knock at the door.
" Who's that?", Penny asked.
" I don't know Penny.", Leonard said as he went to the door and answered it. It was the Pasadena Police.
" Uh yes officers can I help you?", Leonard asked.
" Hi Dr. Hofstadter we are looking for Matteron Fowler-Cooper! Step aside please!", One officer said as he and the other officers gently pushed Leonard aside as they came in.
" Can I ask what is going on?!", Leonard confusely asked.
" We'll explain in a minute just step aside or you will be arrested for obstructing an investigation!", the officer said as other officers began walking down the hallway to Nova's bedroom.
" What?!", Leonard confusely said.
" What the hell is going on Leonard?!", Penny shockingly asked.
" I don't know Penny!", Leonard shockingly said.
" What is going on?", Sheldon asked.
" We don't know Sheldon!", Penny and Leonard shouted. Just then they heard the sound of a door being kicked open and a frenzy of shouting and screaming.
" Freeze! Pasadena Police!"
" For god sakes!", Leonard shouted as the gang continued to listen to what was going on.
" Wait what are you doing?! Get your hands off me!", Matteron screamed as she was pinned to the wall and slapped with handcuffs.
" MATTERON!", Nova screamed.
" MATTY!", Marissa, Samantha, and Mickaela screamed as the police dragged Matteron out of the bedroom with Matteron screaming at the top of her lungs. The girls followed after the police screaming at them leave their friend alone.
" Let go off me! What are you doing?!", Matteron screamed as she kicked her legs repeatedly.
" What the hell?!", Howard shouted.
" Matteron!", Raj, Emily and Bernadette shouted.
" Ok can someone explain what's going on?!", Stuart shockingly asked.
" Yeah what are you doing to our daughter?!", Amy shouted.
" Yeah what fresh hell is this?!", Sheldon shouted.
" Your daughter's being arrested.", the officer said.
" WHAT?!", Everyone shouted including Matteron.
" Arrested for what?! What did she even do?!", Leonard shouted.
" Satara Sullivan's been murdered.", the officer said.
" What?!", the girls shouted.
" That can't be true!", Matteron screamed.
" Well unfortunately it is.", the officer said.
" Why are you arresting my best friend?!", Nova screamed.
" Several witnesses claimed to have seen her at the Sullivan's house tonight.", the officer said.
" That's ridiculous! I've been here the whole time!", Matteron screamed as her friends backed her up on what she was saying.
" I don't think so! Now Matteron Cooper you can either tell the truth or you can go to jail!", the officer said.
" This is preposterous! I didn't do anything!", Matteron screamed.
" Well then if you're not going to talk, Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper you are under arrest for the murder of Satara Sullivan. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.", the officer said as he and the other officers began dragging her out the front door.
" Nova you have to find out who did this! I had nothing to do with this!", Matteron screamed as she was being dragged down the stairs. Then she screamed, " I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" before she was dragged out of the building.
" Matteron no!", Nova screamed from the doorway as she started to cry. The other girls began to cry too because they couldn't believe that their friend had just been arrested.
" I WILL FIND OUT WHO DID THIS MATTERON COOPER! YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!", Nova cried out. She then shut the door and turned to her friends who were clinging to each other crying. The others were completely devestated as well. Penny held Amy as she cried into her shoulder.
" Damn it!", Leonard shouted as he kicked a wall.
" Leonard calm down!", Penny shouted as she continued to embrace a very upset Amy.
" Penny how can I calm down when our friends' daughter was just arrested?!", Leonard shouted at his wife.
" I don't know Leonard! But nothing is going to help if you are acting like a crazy madman!", Penny shouted.
" Oh this is horrible! What do we do now?!", Sheldon said with his head in his hands as he sat in his usual spot on the couch.
" Ok ok let's not panic! I'm sure there's a way to solve this!", Howard shouted.
" Dude, Sheldon and Amy's daughter was just arrested because of a murder!", Raj shouted.
" I know that Raj! We all saw it!", Howard shouted.
" Raj, Howie, that's enough!", Bernadette shouted. Nova sat on the floor with her back to the door crying, " Matty!" Leonard got down on the floor and embraced his daughter as she continued to cry. Nova just couldn't believe that her crazy, fun-loving whackadoodle best friend had been arrested for something that she clearly did not do. As she began to reflect on the crazy, fun things they did together she suddenly remembered what Matteron said to her before the police took her away. Nova had to figure out who was the one that really killed Satara. Nova pulled away from her dad, got up and sadly said, " Come with me you guys!" as she dragged her sobbing friends back into her room. Nova then pulled out her cell phone.
" What are you doing Nova?!", Samantha cried.
" I'm calling Alex to let him know what just happened!", Nova sadly said as she dialed Alex's number.
" Oh hey Nova what is it?", Alex asked.
" Alex you have to get over to my apartment right now! This is serious chiz!", Nova panically said.
" Why?! What's going on?!", Alex asked.
" Matteron's been arrested!", Nova panically said.
" My girlfriend's been arrested?!", Alex shockingly asked.
" Yes your girlfriend! Why do you think I'm calling you Alex?!", Nova panically screamed. Instantly Alex began to panic.
" I don't know! Well what happened?!", Alex panically asked.
" I'll explain it when you get here! Just get over here now!", Nova panically screamed.
" Alright Nova I'm on my way!", Alex panically screamed as he hung up the phone, threw open his bedroom window, climbed out and ran off into the night. Sweat dripped down his face and his heart began to race as he ran through the streets of Pasadena to get to Nova's. As he ran his thoughts turned to his girlfriend Matteron who he could only imagine was extremely terrified.
" Matteron Cooper!", Alex shouted to the sky as he continued running. Once he got to Nova's and Matteron's apartment building he ran up 4 flights of stairs until he reached 4A. He threw open the door and ran down the hallway to Nova's bedroom. This began to get Sheldon even more worked up.
" What the hell is Alex Wheaton doing here?!", Sheldon shouted as he stood up but Leonard shoved him back down on the couch and shouted, "Sheldon calm down!"
" I got here as fast as I could Nova! Now what happened with my girlfriend?!", Alex panically asked.
" Well the 5 of us were just hanging out in my room when all of a sudden the police showed up, barged into my room and handcuffed Matty!", Nova panically said.
" This doesn't make any sense! Why would they do that?!", Alex confusely asked.
" Because they think that she had something to do with Satara's murder!", Marissa panically said.
" Satara Sullivan's dead?!", Alex shockingly asked.
" Yes!", the 4 girls panically exclaimed.
" You know, the popular girl at school?! The one that was being rude and mean to everyone?!", Samantha panically asked.
" Yes!", Alex panically said.
" Well now she's dead!", Marissa panically said.
" And the police think that Matty had something to do with it!", Nova panically said.
" Well why would they think that?!", Alex panically asked.
" They told us that several witnesses claimed to have seen her at the Sullivan's house!", Mickaela panically said.
" Well I know my girlfriend wouldn't do something like that! Yeah sure she hated her but she wouldn't have gone to her house and killed her!", Alex panically said.
" Exactly! Matteron's completely harmless, except for when she got into that fight with Satara! And she can't even stand the sight of human hemoglobin!", Nova panically said.
" Which means someone else did it and framed her!", Marissa panically said.
" Well who would do that to her?!", Samantha panically asked.
" Yeah it could have been anyone from our school!", Mickaela panically said.
" Well we know it couldn't have been Satara's friends!", Marissa said.
" Yeah cause they worship her like she's some kind of goddess!", Samantha said.
" Ok well how about this, when we go to school tomorrow we observe everyone and whoever we see acting suspicious is probably the one that committed the murder!", Nova said.
" Oh like the Forensic Files show?!", Marissa asked. Nova nodded her head with a smirk on her face.
" I love it! It's genius Nova! Sam, Mickaela, what do you two think?", Marissa asked.
" We're in!", Samantha and Mickaela said.
" Care to join us in this investigation Alex?", Nova asked.
" Oh you know it Nova!", Alex said as he fist bumped Nova.
" Great then it's settled! For the next few weeks we are known as the Forensic Files Squad!", Nova exclaimed as the 5 of them cheered. They put their hands in, lifted them up and shouted, " For Matteron Cooper!" as they continued cheering. Then they walked out into the living room and Nova asked, " Hey dad would it be ok if I played forensics at school for the next few weeks?"
" Why?", Leonard asked.
" Because someone framed my best friend and I have to find out who it was.", Nova said.
" Ok yeah sure but just don't get to crazy Nova.", Leonard said.
" Isn't that illegal?", Howard asked.
" No it's only illegal if you put your own fingerprints on the evidence Wolowitz.", Nova said.
" Well look at you talking like a forensic investigator.", Penny said.
" Please mom, don't ruin it!", Nova said.
" Just what is it that you're going to do?", Sheldon asked.
" Oh we're just going to observe everyone at school and see who's acting suspicious.", Nova said.
" When you think about it, it actually makes sense Sheldon.", Howard said.
" See?", Nova asked.
" Well you don't have to do that Nova.", Sheldon said.
" Please Dr. Cooper we want to do this, because Matteron is our friend. We really want justice to prevail in this case.", Nova said.
" Well alright.", Sheldon said.
" Thank you Nova.", Amy said.
" Hey I'm really going out of my way to get your daughter out of jail. It's the least I can do Mrs. Fowler-Cooper.", Nova said.
" Again thank you Nova.", Amy said. For the next few weeks the girls and Alex observed the students of Pasadena High looking for anyone doing anything abnormal. Everyone checked out ok except for one person.
" We're hitting dead ends here guys.", Marissa said.
" We need to find out who murdered Satara.", Samantha said.
" Yeah otherwise we'll never see Matty again.", Mickaela said.
" Whatcha got Nova?", Alex asked. As Nova was looking through a magnifying glass at a piece of evidence while carefully touching it with latex gloves she said, " I think I got a fingerprint that looks familiar. Hold on one second." She put down the magnifying glass and looked around the cafeteria before her eyes rested on a 5 foot 6 caucasion male with short dark brown hair and freckles on his face. He was carrying a neon greenish backpack over his shoulder.
" Bingo. Satara's ex-boyfriend Dylan.", Nova said.
" I don't think we've observed him yet.", Alex said.
" I think you're right Alex.", Mickaela said.
" That kid looks like he's hiding something.", Marissa said.
" Oh yeah. Big time. What do you think Nova?", Samantha asked.
" I don't know Samantha.", Nova said as she picked up the magnifying glass and observed Dylan's backpack. She could clearly see something dangling from the seem of the backpack that looked like a few strands of long brunette hair. Nova gasped and said, " You guys I think we just solved this case. Walk with me but act casual." The 5 teens got up from the table and casually approached Dylan.
" Uh hi.", Dylan nervously said as he tried avoiding eye contact with them.
" Oh hey Dylan.", Nova casually said.
" What do you want Nova Hofstadter?", Dylan nervously asked as he began fidgetting with his hands while still avoiding eye contact.
" Oh nothing except maybe to ask you a few questions.", Nova said.
" What are you? Some kind of forensic investigator?", Dylan nervously asked.
" You could say that.", Nova said.
" Yeah I would appreciate it if you went away.", Dylan nervously said as he continued to fidget with his hands.
" Cut the crap Dylan! We know you're hiding something!", Marissa angrily said as she crossed her arms in front of her.
" Yeah! So spill it!", Alex angrily said.
" I ain't got nothing to spill Alex!", Dylan angrily said.
" Oh yeah?! Then what do you have in your backpack?!", Nova angrily asked.
" Yeah Dylan!", Samantha and Mickaela angrily said as the 5 of them narrowed their eyes at him.
" Uh...", Dylan nervously started to say but then he began to bolt out of the cafeteria and Mickaela screamed, " He's running!"
" Get him!", Nova screamed as the 5 teens bolted after Dylan.
" Come back here pal!", Alex shouted as he and the girls chased Dylan up and down the hallways of Pasadena High.
" You can't run from the Forensic Files Squad!", Mickaela shouted as they continued to chase after Dylan.
" Oh shut up Mickaela!", Dylan screamed as he slipped on a puddle of water and smacked into a trash can. His backpack flew from his grip onto the floor. Nova and the others knelt down in front of it.
" Step away from my backpack!", Dylan angrily said.
" Shut up!", Nova angrily said as she unzipped the backpack.
" What's in it?!", Marissa screamed.
" A wig, some clothes, a voice box, and... the murder weapon!", Nova shouted as she pulled the evidence out of the backpack holding the knife covered with Satara's hemoglobin up as she stood up with her friends gasping.
" Dun dun dun!", Marissa shouted as she got up in Dylan's face. Her friends stared at her.
" What? It was for dramatic effect.", Marissa said.
" We get it Marissa.", Nova said. Then she angrily said, " Well I guess we know who killed Satara!"
" Busted! Oh yeah!", Alex shouted as he got up in Dylan's face.
" Seriously, what is with you guys?!", Nova confusely asked as she stared at her friends.
" What? I thought that was pretty good.", Alex said.
" Alright Dylan spill it! Why did you kill Satara Sullivan?!", Nova angrily asked.
" What am I supposed say?! That she dumped me and I was furious?! And she dumped me because she wanted to go out with you?!", Dylan shouted as he pointed at Alex.
" Dude I don't even like her!", Alex shouted.
" That's what Matty said!", Samantha exclaimed.
" Is that your girlfriend?!", Dylan shouted.
" Yeah! My girlfriend that you got thrown in jail!", Alex shouted as he angrily threw a finger at Dylan.
" Yeah so explain dressing up like my best friend!", Nova shouted.
" Well Satara was always saying how she hated that Fowler-Cooper girl so I figured that if I framed her for the murder it would make it look like I didn't do anything!", Dylan shouted.
" Well unfortunately Dylan you can't get away with everything!", Nova shouted as the Pasadena Police came running around the corner with their guns drawn.
" Freeze! Pasadena Police!", the cops shouted as they pointed their pistoles at Dylan.
" What?!", Dylan shouted as he was yanked from the trash can, pinned against the wall and slapped with handcuffs.
" Dylan Michealson you are under arrest for the murder of Satara Sullivan! You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law!", the arresting officer said as him and the other officers began dragging Dylan down the hallway.
" Thank you for clearing this up for us.", one officer said.
" Oh it was nothing officer. So is my best friend free to go?", Nova asked.
" Yes she will be released.", the officer said.
" Oh thank you!", Nova said with a sigh of relief as her friends celebrated. The officer collected the evidence and began walking away. As Dylan was being dragged out he shouted, " You're gonna regret this Hofstadter! You hear me?! You're gonna regret this!"
" I don't think so Dylan! Have fun in juvie for the next 4 years!", Nova shouted. Then she said, " Well guys we solved the case and Matteron is coming back."
" Shall we do it Nova?", Marissa asked.
" Oh sure what the heck Marissa.", Nova said as the 5 teens did the ending part of the Forensic Files theme song before they fist bumped each other making an explosion with their hands. Later that day Sheldon and Amy got a call from the police saying that they could come pick up their daughter. Amy cried tears of joy as Sheldon embraced her. The two of them headed to the Pasadena Juvenile Detention Center and signed a form for the release of their daughter. When Matteron came out she went home with her parents. Once they got back to their apartment building Nova came running out of her apartment excitedly screaming, " Matteron!"
" Nova!", Matteron excitedly screamed as the two girls threw their arms around each other.
" You have no idea how much I missed you bestie!", Nova said.
" And you don't have any idea of how much I missed you either!", Matteron said.
" Alex get out here! Matteron's back!", Nova shouted.
" Coming!", Alex shouted as he ran out the door and took his girlfriend into his arms as he kissed her.
" God I missed you so much Matteron!", Alex said with a smile.
" I missed you too Alex!", Matteron said with a smile.
" Sheldon, Amy, why don't you come in.", Penny said as Sheldon and Amy walked into the apartment.
" And you come in too Matty because I'm gonna call the other girls and tell them you're here!", Nova said.
" Well ok!", Matteron said as she followed her best friend inside.
" I got to go Nova! My mom needs me for something!", Alex said from the hallway.
" Ok bye Alex! See you later!", Nova said.
" Bye Alex!", Matteron said. Alex snapped his fingers and winked at her before he left. A few minutes later Marissa, Samantha, and Mickaela came running up the stairs, running into the apartment excitedly screaming, " Matty!" as they threw their arms around her while jumping up and down.
" Ah you're crushing me!", Matteron screamed. Her friends released her and Marissa said, " Sorry Matteron."
" We're just so happy you're back.", Samantha said.
" Well let me tell you guys, it's good to be back.", Matteron said. Then she said, " Which reminds me, if you don't mind Nova could you spray me with Lysol please?"
" What for?", Nova asked.
" Because I want to rid myself of the juvie germs and I just want to forget about what happened." , Matteron said as the girls began to laugh.
" Sure Matty!", Nova said as she laughed and grabbed a can of Lysol. As she sprayed her best friend from head to toe Matteron spun around in the mist with a smile on her face. Matteron let out a sigh of relief and said, " Ok that's better! Now I'm home!"
" Oh shut up you crazy whackadoodle!", Nova laughed as she playfully smacked Matteron on the back of the head.
" Ow! Oh you're so gonna get it Hofstadter!", Matteron laughed.
" Bring it Cooper!", Nova laughed as the two best friends started playfully smacking each other around laughing their heads off. The other three girls laughed as well. Sheldon and Amy smiled at this as well as Leonard too while Penny began crying tears of joy just by watching this. Suddenly the two girls began chasing each other around the apartment.
" I'm gonna get you Matteron Cooper!", Nova laughed.
" In your dreams Nova Hofstadter!", Matteron laughed as the two girls continued chasing each other around.
" Ok you two that's enough! Stop before someone gets hurt!", Leonard said as he laughed.
" Dad please don't interrupt my reunion with my best friend!", Nova said as she laughed.
" I'm not interrupting Nova I'm saying you and Matteron need to stop running around the apartment before one of you gets hurt.", Leonard said.
" No wait a minute!", Matteron said as she sprinted around the apartment really fast before ending up behind the couch saying, " I'm The Flash!"
" No you're not Matteron you're The Flash's daughter. I'm The Flash!", Sheldon said.
" No wait, now I'm Kendall from Big Time Rush!", Matteron exclaimed as she held an invisible microphone and imitated Kendall's voice singing part of the lyrics from the song Time of Our Life. Nova walked behind the couch, laughed and said, " You silly whackadoodle!" as she smacked her best friend in the head again. The girls laughed as well as the 4 adults.
" What Big Time Rush song was that?", Mickaela asked.
" Time of Our Life.", Matteron said.
" Why Kendall?", Samantha asked.
" Because we like Kendall.", Matteron and Nova said.
" Is there something about him that you like?", Marissa asked.
" Uh he's extremely cute!", Matteron exclaimed.
" And he's the lead singer of the band!", Nova exclaimed.
" Well don't get any crazy ideas cause you have a boyfriend Nova.", Leonard said.
" Yeah I know dad and Matty does too.", Nova said.
" Yeah my boyfriend that my dad still doesn't approve of!", Matteron exclaimed.
" I would have been ok with anyone else but Alex.", Sheldon said.
" Uh dad could you be, I don't know, less irritating and annoying, at least just for your daughter?", Matteron asked.
" No Matteron.", Sheldon said.
" Figures.", Matteron said with a sigh.
" Well your father's always like that. In fact it was like that when we were living together, and it still is.", Leonard said.
" And I called your mom and dad Shamy when they were dating.", Penny said.
" Again I still don't like that Penny.", Amy said.
" Oh my god!", Matteron and Nova said as they laughed their heads off. The three other girls laughed too and Mickaela threw herself on the floor.
" Yo Gonzalez calm down over there!", Matteron laughed.
" I can't help it Matteron! That was too funny!", Mickaela laughed.
" That is so true Mickaela!", Marissa laughed.
" Oh shut up Marissa!", Samantha laughed.
" Samantha!", Marissa laughed.
" What?!", Samantha laughed.
" You guys knock it off!", Nova laughed.
" You are such a chatty kathy Sam!", Matteron laughed.
" Actually she's a chatty Sammy!", Marissa laughed.
" Oh my god Marissa!", Matteron laughed as the other girls continued laughing as well. Matteron ended throwing herself on the floor with laughter and Nova looked like she was about to hit the floor any second too.
" Omg Matty!", Nova laughed as she saw her best friend pounding her fist into the floor, kicking her legs while laughing her head off.
" I'm in love with your George Clooney improportions!", Matteron exclaimed.
" Was that supposed to be a joke Matteron?!", Mickaela asked.
" Bazinga!", Matteron exclaimed as she laughed.
" Oh Matteron Cooper!", Marissa laughed as the other girls continued laughing too.
" You are really rubbing off on your daughter Sheldon.", Leonard said.
" Well of course I am Leonard. She is my daughter.", Sheldon said. When the laughter died down Matteron got up from the floor as well as Mickaela too and she said, " Oh that was fun."
" Yeah well you know what we should do now?", Marissa asked.
" What?", Mickaela asked.
" Dance party! Oh yeah!", Marissa exclaimed as she danced around like an idiot. Samantha grabbed her shoulders and said, " Ok Marissa calm down."
" Sorry Sammy.", Marissa said.
" What song did you want to dance to?", Mickaela asked. Marissa turned on the song Pocketful of Sunshine by The Superstarz Kids on her ipod connected to the little speaker hooked to her hip, turned it up full blast and began to dance.
" Oh yeah go Marissa Stevenson!", Samantha exclaimed.
" Oh stop talking Samantha Goldstein and start dancing!", Marissa exclaimed as she continued dancing.
" Ok you asked for it!", Samantha exclaimed as she joined in with Marissa. Then she exclaimed, " You too Mickaela Gonzalez!"
" Oh yeah! It's on!", Mickaela exclaimed as she started dancing.
" Hey move over! Let me get in on this action too!", Nova exclaimed as she joined her friends. Matteron stared at her friends and said, "Really you guys?!"
" Oh get in here you looney toon!", Nova exclaimed. Matteron screamed as her best friend yanked her into their little flash mob. All 5 girls were now dancing around with each other.
" Matty what Big Time Rush song did you say you were singing?", Marissa asked.
" Time of Our Life.", Matteron said. Marissa switched the song to Time of Our Life by Big Time Rush. As the girls continued dancing Matteron and Nova began to sing the words of the song. When the song was over the two best friends took each other's hands as they jumped up and down screaming with excitement.
" Woah calm down you guys!", Marissa exclaimed.
" We can't help it Marissa!", Matteron exclaimed.
" Yeah Big Time Rush is our favorite band!", Nova exclaimed.
" Yeah and Kendall is our favorite member of the band!", Matteron exclaimed. Once again the two girls held each other's hands jumping up and down excitedly screaming, "KENDALL!"
" Nova and Matteron use your inside voices!", Leonard shouted.
" Sorry dad.", Nova said.
" I guess we just got too carried away.", Matteron said.
" Hey guys there is also another band that Matteron and I are fans of too.", Nova said.
" What band is that?", Marissa asked.
" The Black Eyed Peas.", Matteron said.
" Really Matteron and Nova?!", Marissa, Samantha, and Mickaela shockingly asked.
" Uh huh.", Nova said.
" And this is one of the songs we like by them." , Matteron said as she pulled out her ipod and played the radio version of Do It Like This. The two best friends began to dance around to it but in the middle of the song Matteron said, " But of course our favorite Black Eyed Peas song is..." Matteron switched the song to the album version of Boom Boom Pow. The two girls began to dance but when the first S word came up Leonard said, " Ah stop! Turn that off for a second!" The girls stopped dancing as Matteron paused the song. They began to stare at him as if he said something crazy.
" What?!", Matteron and Nova asked.
" Did he just say the S word?!", Leonard shockingly asked.
" Yes!", Matteron and Nova said.
" Oh my god!", Marissa, Samantha, and Mickaela exclaimed as they began to laugh.
" That is a very inappropriate word and we don't want to hear that!", Leonard said.
" Well how else are we supposed to listen to the song then?!", Matteron asked.
" Listen to the radio version.", Leonard said.
" We don't want to.", Matteron said.
" Yeah we like the album version better dad.", Nova said.
" Nova it's the same song just without the S word.", Leonard said.
" Well we want to listen to the S word.", Nova said.
" Yeah cause it makes the song so much better.", Matteron said.
" Well I said no.", Leonard said.
" Ugh why?!", Matteron and Nova said as they groaned.
" Because Leonard just told you why. It's inappropriate.", Sheldon said.
" Dad quit being such a buzz kill!", Matteron protested.
" Matteron do not talk to me like that.", Sheldon said.
" I'm a teenage girl for crying out loud! What do you expect me to say dad?!", Matteron protested.
" Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper that's enough!", Amy said.
" What the...?!", Matteron started to say.
" Do not say what the hell Matteron!", Amy said.
" Oh come on! You guys get to say stuff like that and we don't?!", Matteron protested.
" Yes because you two are children and we're adults that know how to use it in the right context.", Leonard said.
" That sucks!", Matteron protested. But then she got an idea. She licked her finger and stuck it in Nova's ear.
" Ew I'm gonna get you for that Matteron Cooper!", Nova exclaimed as she chased her best friend around the apartment again making the other three girls laugh.
" I'd like to see you try Nova Hofstadter!", Matteron exclaimed as she ran toward the front door and threw it open. Then she exclaimed, "Na na can't get me!" before running out into the hallway and toward the stairs leading to the 5th floor.
" Get back here Cooper!", Nova exclaimed as she chased Matteron up the stairs.
" Not a chance Hofstadter!", Matteron exclaimed as she continued running up the stairs to the 5th floor. The two best friends were laughing their heads off too. The other girls and the 4 adults followed after the two best friends. When the girls got up to the 5th floor Nova laughed and said, " Really Matteron?! You just got out of juvie and you're gonna make me chase you?!"
" Yeah pretty much Nova!", Matteron said as she laughed. Then she laughed and said, " Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going up to the roof!"
" Good luck bestie! You ain't getting past me!", Nova laughed.
" Try me!", Matteron laughed as she flashed her arms in front of Nova distracting her long enough to get to the stairs leading up to the 6th floor.
" Show off!", Nova exclaimed.
" Told ya! Bazinga!", Matteron exclaimed as she sprinted up the stairs.
" Oh come back here you whackadoodle!", Nova exclaimed as she sprinted up the stairs after her best friend. They ran up past the 6th floor to the roof. They chased each other around the rooftop completely unaware that the two agents were still watching them. Later that night when Matteron was sleeping she had a nightmare and didn't realize that she was screaming. She suddenly felt someone gently shaking her shoulder and when she jerked her eyes open with a scream her eyesight focused on the culprit.
" Dad what are you doing in my room?", Matteron tiredly asked.
" Well your screaming woke your mother and I up so she told me to come check on you.", Sheldon said.
" I'm sorry dad I'm just having a bad dream.", Matteron tiredly said.
" About what Matteron?", Sheldon asked.
" Nova and I being chased by zombies.", Matteron tiredly said.
" It sounds like you two have been watching way too many episodes of The Walking Dead.", Sheldon said.
" I think you're probably right dad. Do you think there's a theory that someday the world's gonna be plunged into some zombie apocalypse?", Matteron tiredly asked.
" Matteron there's no such thing as a zombie apocalypse.", Sheldon said.
" Yeah but there could be.", Matteron tiredly said.
" You and Nova should really stop watching The Walking Dead. Now it's 10:35 which means it's past your bedtime and you need to get back to sleep because you're going back to school tomorrow.", Sheldon said.
" Ok dad. It's just gonna be weird going back to school and not seeing Satara anymore. I mean I know I hated her but still I just can't believe that she's dead.", Matteron tiredly said.
" Well as your grandmother would say, ' She's now staring into the eyes of the Lord.'", Sheldon said.
" Or the eyes of the Devil.", Matteron tiredly said.
" Matteron?", Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at his daughter.
" Bazinga. I was kidding dad.", Matteron tiredly said.
" Leonard was right, I really am rubbing off on you.", Sheldon said.
" Well I am your daughter so it makes sense doesn't it?", Matteron tiredly said.
" Yes it does. Now go to sleep.", Sheldon said.
" Ok dad. Good night, I love you.", Matteron tiredly said as she fell back asleep.
" Good night, I love you too.", Sheldon said as he kissed his daughter's head before he walked out. The next day after school got out Matteron decided to hang out with her friends at her apartment because she knew her's and Nova's parents were going to be working late that night so she didn't want to be alone. As the girls were watching a movie on public tv in Matteron's bedroom it was suddenly interrupted by the Emergency Alert System.
" Oh come on?! The Emergency Alert System?! Really?!", Nova complained.
" What's it for?", Mickaela asked.
" I don't know Mickaela. Why don't we shut up and listen. Matteron turn up the volume.", Marissa said as Matteron turned the volume up on the tv.
" The National Weather Service in Long Beach has issued a Tornado Warning for the southern area of California until 9:15 pm eastern standard time. At 7:30 pm eastern standard time, National Weather Service doppler radar indicated a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado.

A flash flood watch is in effect until 10:30 pm eastern standard time. Please stay tuned for more updates."
" Oh that's just great! We're under a tornado warning!", Marissa irritatedly said.
" I don't like this! This is freaking me out!", Samantha frightenly said.
" You guys calm down! Everything's gonna be fine!", Matteron said.
" Matty how are we supposed to calm down when a tornado is gonna hit?!", Mickaela frightenly asked.
" Mickaela a tornado warning doesn't necessarily mean a tornado's gonna hit. It just means that we have the right weather conditions for one to possibly spawn or they detected rotation on radar.", Matteron said.
" Yeah so calm down you guys! Because Matteron knows what she's talking about!", Nova said.
" Thank you Nova!", Matteron said. Meanwhile at CalTech, Sheldon was working on his calculations in his office when all of a sudden he heard the civil defense alarm going off in the hallway.
" Attention! Attention! A tornado warning has been issued for the area! A tornado warning has been issued for the area!" He ignored it at first but then he was interrupted by Howard.
" Sheldon, Dr. Gablehauser wants everybody in the basement right now!", Howard said in a serious tone.
" Excuse me but what on Earth for Howard?", Sheldon asked.
" Don't you hear the civil defense alarm going off?!", Howard asked.
" Yes but I'm choosing to ignore it!", Sheldon said as he continued working.
" Sheldon there's a tornado warning in the area so we need to get downstairs!", Howard irritatedly said. Sheldon slammed the marker down and said, " Oh that is preposterous Howard! There's no way that... Oh good Lord!" Sheldon looked out of his office window and saw that the sky was looking kind of ominous. Heavy rain and hail was falling, the wind was blowing really strong and thunder clapped as lightning split the sky. He turned back to Howard who was standing in the doorway and said, " I think I'm starting to see that something is going on here."
" Yeah Sheldon so we need to get downstairs!", Howard said.
" Where are Leonard, Raj, and Amy?!", Sheldon asked.
" They're in the basement with everyone else waiting for us so we need to get down there!", Howard said.
" Well alright.", Sheldon said as the two men walked out of Sheldon's office and walked down the hallway to the stairs leading to the basement. The civil defense alarm was still blaring in the hallway. As the two of them walked down the stairs Sheldon pulled out his cell phone.
" What are you doing Sheldon?", Howard asked.
" I am calling my daughter.", Sheldon said as he scrolled through his contacts on his phone.
" Sheldon don't bother your daughter Matteron ok. She's probably hanging out with her friends.", Howard said.
" Precisely Howard which is why I'm going to call her and tell her to bring her friends with her down to the lobby.", Sheldon said as he found his daughter's cell number and pressed the call button. The phone rang twice before Matteron answered the phone saying, " Yeah dad what is it?"
" Matteron where are you?", Sheldon asked.
" I'm at the apartment with my friends. We're hanging out in my room.", Matteron said.
" Ok well listen to this. This is really important.", Sheldon said.
" What is it dad?", Matteron asked.
" You and your friends leave the apartment and go down to the lobby right now.", Sheldon said.
" Dad I think we're ok here for now. If we hear the tornado siren we'll go down there.", Matteron said.
" You will go down there now regardless of whether you hear the siren or not.", Sheldon said.
" Dad this is ridiculous! We are not leaving the apartment unless we hear the siren!", Matteron protested.
" Matteron Chase Fowler-Cooper if you don't listen to a word I say right now I will tell your mother and you will be grounded! Do you hear me?!", Sheldon said.
" Yes ok I get it dad! We'll go down to the lobby! Wait a second, why are you using your cell phone?! I thought you were working!", Matteron said.
" I was working until I was rudely interrupted by Howard and now I am going into the basement.", Sheldon said.
" Hi Wolowitz!", Matteron said. Howard intrudes on the conversation and says, " Hi Matteron. How are you?"
" I'm good. How are you?", Matteron asked.
" I'm good. Thank you for asking.", Howard said.
" You're welcome. Is my mom down there too with you and my dad?", Matteron asked.
" Yes your mother is down here with us.", Howard said.
" Howard is that Matteron?", Amy asked.
" Yes.", Howard said.
" Can I talk to my daughter for a second?", Amy asked.
" Sure Amy.", Howard said as he handed her Sheldon's phone.
" Matteron?", Amy asked.
" Oh hi mom.", Matteron said.
" Hi. What are you doing right now?", Amy asked.
" I'm hanging out with my friends at the apartment.", Matteron said.
" Well you, Nova, Marissa, Samantha, and Mickaela just go down to the lobby right now.", Amy said.
" Mom we're already heading down there. Dad already told us to. Plus the siren is going off anyway too.", Matteron said as her and her friends continued walking down the stairs. The tornado siren blared in the background over the city of Pasadena.
" Ok well when you get down there stay down there until the storm is over.", Amy said.
" Ok mom. I love you.", Matteron said.
" I love you too Matteron. I'm going to hand the phone back to your father now.", Amy said.
" Ok bye mom.", Matteron said.
" Bye.", Amy said as she handed the phone back to her husband.
" Matteron are you still there?", Sheldon asked.
" Yeah I'm still here dad.", Matteron said.
" Are you and your friends in the lobby yet?", Sheldon asked.
" We're about halfway there dad. We still have two more floors to go.", Matteron said.
" Well just keep walking down there Matteron and like your mother said you and your friends stay down there until the storm is over. Oh and while you're at it, use a can of Lysol to protect yourself.", Sheldon said as his wife, his friends and colleagues stared at him as if he said something crazy.
" Dad how's a can of Lysol gonna protect me against a tornado?!", Matteron asked as she laughed.
" Oh it's not for that it's for deadly contagious pathogens. But I suppose it could work for that too.", Sheldon said.
" Dad no!", Matteron said as she laughed. The other girls laughed too as all 5 of them continued walking down the stairs to the lobby.
" Well I'm just saying it could work.", Sheldon said.
" Dad a can of Lysol is completely defenseless against a tornado! Are you crazy?!", Matteron said as she laughed.
" I am not crazy. Your grandmother had me tested.", Sheldon said.
" Yeah well grandma Mary had me tested too dad.", Matteron said.
" That's only because you were paranoid about having to take a nap.", Sheldon said.
" I was 4 years old dad! I was a toddler for crying out loud!", Matteron said.
" Well still that was the reason why. Speaking of that you are going to take a nap tomorrow.", Sheldon said.
" Why dad?", Matteron asked.
" Because I told you to take one earlier when you got home from school and you didn't listen. So you will be doing so tomorrow since tomorrow is a Saturday.", Sheldon said.
" Dad how was I supposed to remember that you asked me to do that?! And anyway I told you I'm too old for this!", Matteron protested.
" Matteron do not argue with me. I am the one in control of your sleep schedule and that includes your nap time.", Sheldon said.
" Dad I'm not a little kid anymore! I'm 16!", Matteron protested.
" Gee you think I don't know that?", Sheldon asked.
" You sound like you don't know that because you're talking to me as if I'm still a little kid!", Matteron said.
" Matteron you will always still be my little girl no matter what age you are.", Sheldon said.
" Can I hang up now? Cause we're in the lobby.", Matteron asked.
Yes you may go now. I love you. Bye.", Sheldon said.
" I love you too dad. Bye.", Matteron said as she hung up the phone.
" Dude why did your dad tell you to use a can of Lysol?!", Nova asked as she laughed.
" I don't have a clue Nova!", Matteron said as she laughed.
" Hey how come we're the only ones here in the lobby?", Marissa asked.
" Probably because everyone else in this building headed to some underground storm shelter outside of the city Marissa. You know what we should get in my car and drive there.", Nova said as she jingled her car keys.
" Woah woah woah Nova are you nuts?! Do you know what our parents would do to us if we headed out into a storm that could spawn a tornado?! We would be grounded for life!", Matteron shouted.
" Do you have a better idea Matty?", Nova asked.
" Yeah Nova. We stay here and wait out the storm.", Matteron said.
" This doesn't feel very safe Matteron.", Nova said.
" It's better than driving through a tornado and getting killed. I already got in trouble for not taking a nap today and I don't want to get in trouble again.", Matteron said.
" Alright we'll stay here.", Nova said.
" I don't like this! I'm scared!", Samantha frightenly said.
" Sam are you afraid of storms?", Marissa asked.
" Yes Marissa! They terrify me!", Samantha frightenly said.
" Everything's gonna be fine Sammy.", Mickaela said as she draped one of her arms over Samantha's shoulder.
" You don't know that Mickaela! What if a tornado touches down and we get sucked up into it!", Samantha frightenly said as the tornado siren continued blaring outside.
" Hey Sam I got an idea of what we can do to distract ourselves from the storm.", Matteron said.
" What is it Matty?", Samantha frightenly asked. Matteron plugged her ipod into her speaker system , turned on the song Shake It Off by Taylor Swift and began to dance around the lobby. Her friends began to laugh including Samantha. Then the girls started chanting, " Go Matty! Go Matty! Go Matty! Go Matty! Go Matty!" as Matteron continued to dance. Then Nova said, " Hey Matteron give me your ipod for a second."
" Sure Nova. But why?", Matteron asked as she handed her ipod to her best friend.
" Because I got another song that we can dance to.", Nova said as she switched the song to Dance Like Yo Daddy by Meghan Trainor. Matteron laughed as Nova started shaking her hips to the beat of the music. Matteron joined in with her and two best friends started laughing as they were dancing around the lobby with each other. Marissa, Samantha and Mickaela started dancing too. As the girls were dancing around the lobby they began to individually shout out their names.
" Matteron!", Matteron shouted.
" Nova!", Nova shouted.
" Marissa!", Marissa shouted.
" Samantha!", Samantha shouted.
" Mickaela!", Mickaela shouted. Then they shouted together, " Best Friends Forever!" The girls continued dancing but suddenly stopped and screamed as the power went out.
" What the heck just happened?!", Mickaela frightenly asked.
" Duh the power went out Mickaela.", Marissa said. After another flash of lightning and another clap of thunder Samantha screamed in terror and began clinging to Nova. The tornado siren still continued to blare outside.
" Sammy it's ok it's just thunder and lightning!", Nova said as Samantha continued holding onto her.
" That's just it Nova! I'm terrified of thunderstorms and tornadoes! I want my mom!", Samantha screamed in terror. Just then the glass door blew out and Matteron screamed, "Hit the deck!" as the girls threw themselves on the floor covering their heads and the back of their necks with their arms. As debris and hail swirled about the girls began screaming in terror. Matteron frantically pulled out her cell phone and called her dad.
" Matteron?", Sheldon asked.
" Dad it's hitting us! The tornado is hitting us!", Matteron screamed.
" Well are you ok?! Where are you?!", Sheldon worriedly asked.
" We're on the floor in the lobby! The power's out and the glass door just busted open! We're being hit by debris and hail!", Matteron screamed.
" Well what ever you do, don't get up Matteron! Do you hear me?!", Sheldon worriedly asked.
" Ok I hear you dad!", Matteron screamed. Suddenly part of the ceiling fell down on top of the girls making them scream in terror cutting off the phone connection between Matteron and her dad. This made Sheldon begin to panic as he began to fear the worst had happened to his daughter.
" Matteron are you there?! Can you hear me?! Matteron!", Sheldon shouted through the phone as he began to hyperventilate to the point where he could barely stand up. Howard and Raj caught him before he could hit the floor. Leonard began to panic as well and Amy started to cry. Once the storm passed Dr. Gablehauser said, " Dr. Cooper, you, your wife and Dr. Hofstadter go home and check on your daughters." Sheldon and Amy got into Amy's car and the two frantically began driving home. Leonard went to go pick up his wife Penny and the two headed home as well. The 4 adults were relieved that the apartment building was still standing but had some minor tornado damage. They got out of their cars and ran to the lobby where they saw big gaping hole where the door used to be and saw part of the ceiling laying on top of the 5 girls. Panic set in as they freed the girls from the rubble. Marissa, Samantha and Mickaela were ok but then they began to worry about their two friends Matteron and Nova as they were unconscious. As the 4 adults held their daughters the two best friends began to cough and regain consciousness.
" Matteron!", Sheldon and Amy exclaimed as they embraced her in their arms.
" Nova!", Penny and Leonard exclaimed as they embraced their daughter. The other three girls cheered as paramedics came rushing in and rushed the two best friends to the hospital. The two girls came home the next day and were hanging out at Nova's. Then Matteron got a phone call from her dad.
" Yeah dad?", Matteron asked.
" Come home. It's nap time.", Sheldon said.
" Ok I'm coming dad.", Matteron said as she hung up the phone. Then she says, " See ya Nova. I got to go."
" Ok. See ya Matty.", Nova said as Matteron walked back across the hall. Sheldon tucked his daughter into her bed, removed her glasses from her face and shut the blinds on the window. He then kissed her head as he walked out of the room shutting the lights off and shutting the door behind him. The soft blue glow from the glow-in-the- dark stars from the ceiling illuminated the room as Matteron began to fall asleep with a smile on her face. Back in 4A Nova decided to take a nap too. But little did the girls know that the two agents were still watching them waiting for the right moment to come and kidnap them.
Dun dun dun! Watch out girls, they're coming for you! Find out what happens next.
