"Oh don't worry, Sheldon you'll be fine!" said Penny excitedly as they took their seats at the bar. "You don't know that," scoffed Sheldon as he sipped his virgin diet cuba libre. "I'm very nervous," he continued. "What if they boo me off the stage? Not only will it result in extreme embarrassment, I'll be stuck doing some god awful plan you come up with as agreed in our wager!"
"Here," Penny replied, handing him a shot glass of tequila. "And don't let yourself taste it this time, just hold your nose and down it in one go. It'll help."
Sheldon gulped it down, and under a placebo effect that it was to have immediate effect, began to let some of the tension out of his shoulders. "Do you know which song you would like to sing, Penny?"
"Huh...Well what do you suggest?"
"Perhaps 'Everytime We Touch', by Cascada?"
"I do like that song, alrite, I'll sing it. But what about you?"
Sheldon gave her a tiny smile that always came with a joke only he knew and understood. "You'll see. I have decided what to sing on the way here." Penny stood up and downed the rest of her drink. "Great," she replied. "I'll go tell the DJ."
She sashayed up to the DJ system and talked to the man, charming him with her incredibly disarming smile. Soon she returned to the table. "We're set to go on right after this person finishes up." They looked to the stage to the woman who was in the middle of mangling Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". "The sooner she finishes up, the better," said Sheldon.
Soon, it was Penny's turn. Calming down her nerves, she headed up to the stage, whispering her song request into the DJ's ear. Taking her spot on the barstool and taking the microphone from its perch, she nodded to him to start the song.
"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel you touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you I just can't survive
'Cuz everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last
I need you by my side
Penny was finding herself becoming increasingly nervous, and desperately fought to find something to focus on in the midst of faces.
'Cuz everytime we touch,
I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss,
I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat so,
I can't let you go. I want you in my life
Penny sought out Sheldon's face in the crowd, desperately seeking something to hold on to to keep her rooted to the stage. She could feel the crowd's growing whispers about how she was destroying the song, feeling her confidence wane. The look on Sheldon's face kept her going. She wasn't sure what expression it was, but felt that she should finish the song for him.
Your arms are my castle
Your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times,
We've been through them all.
You make me rise
When I fall!
'Cuz everytime we touch,
I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last
I need you by my side
'Cuz everytime we touch,
I feel the static
And everytime we kiss
I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat so,
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.
'Cuz everytime we touch,
I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss,
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
I need you by my side."
Penny acknowledged the polite, unenthusiastic round of applause as she returned the microphone to its stand and made her way back to her seat. "I thought you did splendidly, Penny," remarked Sheldon when she sat down.
Penny hid her face in her hands. "Whatever, you're up."
Sheldon slowly wiped his hands on his khakis and walked up the stage, pausing to inform the DJ which song he had chosen.
A/N: next up, Sheldon's song! I'm still having a hard time deciding which song for him to sing :/ I'm sorry about the delay, everyone, thank you for sticking with me on this :)
