That Night...

Daisy, Sam, and Penny were all in Sheldon and Leonard's apartment as they chowed down on pizza while Sam and Daisy were mainly quiet as they listened to the group of friends talk about the events of the day.

Sam looked at Sheldon occasionally as she munched on the pizza. She sighed softly before easing back into the chair.

When the conversation died down, Sheldon flipped on the television. "Time for Doctor Who." he said. "What's that?" Daisy asked, causing Sheldon to gasp. Daisy looked at him, her eyes widening slightly by his gasp. "It's the one about the British guy who travels in the police telephone box. Doctor number 10 was played by David Tennant who also played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Sam rambled before biting into her pizza once more.

"Oh my God, Barty Crouch Jr. is a Doctor?" Daisy asked. "No, sweetie, just the guy, David Tennant that plays him." Sam said. "So what's his name in the show?" Daisy asked. "The Doctor." Sheldon said. "Yeah I know, but what's his name?" Daisy asked. "The Doctor. His name is The Doctor." Sheldon said as he got up to get a drink as the show was starting.

Daisy shrugged. "I'll try it and see if I like it." she said as she sat down in Sheldon's spot unknowingly as everyone gasped. "What?" Daisy asked. "That's Sheldon's spot you have to sit where you were, believe me. Quick before Sheldon turns and sees." Penny said just before Sheldon turned around as Daisy was standing up from his spot on the couch.

"Daisy, I suggest you move." Sam said, seeing Sheldon's wide eyes. "Sorry, just can't really see the TV from where I was." Daisy said as she scurried over to sit next to Penny, who was at a better angle to see the TV. Everyone took a collective sigh when Sheldon relaxed and took his seat.

Daisy sighed in relief once Sheldon stopped looking at her and focused on the TV. "That's not David Tennant." Daisy said. "That's Matt Smith, he plays the 11th regeneration of the Doctor." Sheldon said. Daisy nodded. "I see." she said softly before she watched the show. Sam sat there watching, leaning on her arms as she started to become engrossed in the show. "Not too bad." she said. "I agree. It's not bad." Daisy said.

One Hour Later...

"It's over? Is another episode coming on?" Daisy asked as she turned to Sheldon. "Unfortunately no, but it's ok another episode comes on tonight at ten and then in the morning at 8 and 9." Sheldon said. "I don't want to wait until ten I want to watch more now. That was incredible." Daisy said.

"Netflix." Sheldon said. "What about Netflix?" Daisy asked. "It's on Netflix." he said. "Yeah and how do I get that?" she asked. Sam looked at her sister. "Seriously?" she asked. "Uh yeah." Daisy said. "You go on and sign up." Sam said. "You'll have to show me." she said. "Alright." Sam said before sipping her soda.

"So, what are you two planning to do while you're here?" Leonard asked. "Well, while I'm looking for more acting jobs, I was thinking that maybe Penny could put in a good word for me and Sam at the Cheesecake Factory...if that's ok." Daisy said. "Actually..." Sam said. "I already talked about a job."

"Oh you did?" Daisy asked. "At the Cheesecake Factory?" Penny asked. "No." She said nervously before downing half her coke. "Where?" the two blondes asked as Daisy started drinking her own soda. "It's, um...with a publisher." She said hinting. "A publisher. That's great, what are you going to be doing? Journalist at a newspaper?" Penny asked. "No, um...I'm getting published. Again." she said softly. "Oh my God!" Penny and Daisy said. "Again? What are you getting published?" Penny asked. "A screenplay?" Daisy asked. "A book?" Penny asked. "A book...my second one." Sam said. "That's so great!" Penny and Daisy said as they hugged her.

"What have you published?" Leonard asked. "Um..." Sam blushed. "my first isn't that popular among the masses, but it sold. You might know of it, it's a science fiction fantasy romance. Sort of along the lines of Beauty and the Beast with a bit of inspiration from Star Trek, Star Wars and the steampunk culture. It's called Heart of Steele."

Raj quickly jumped up as he went to the refrigerator and took out a beer as he downed at least half of it before he looked at Sam. "Heart of Steele? I love that book, it changed my life. I didn't know you wrote that." Raj said as he got up and shook her hand and hugged her. "I'm so glad to meet you, you're my favorite author so far." he said, freaking out and completely fanboying over her.

"In this space and time, you have shown me truly what it means to be human. Now that I have tasted the sweet nectar of its beauty I never wish to return to what I once was." Sam blushed as Raj quoted her book.

"Wow. Penny and I both read her first book, but we don't even remember the introduction that well." Daisy said. "Sorry." she smiled. Sam smiled as she shook her head, letting her sisters know she didn't mind. "Please, you must tell me what is the basis of your newest book?! Is it along the same lines of Heart of Steele or will it be completely different?" Raj asked. Sam smiled. "I want you to be surprised, Raj. And tell you what, when the book comes out, I will give you an autographed copy." she said.

"Oh my God, I would love that! Would you mind if I have your autograph now? I'd like one that I could frame, but you can still autograph my copy of the new book. Do you know when it will be out?" Raj said, unable to stop fanboying. "Probably within the next month or so. And yeah if you go get the book I can sign it for you." Sam said. "Wonderful!" Raj said happily. "I can't wait. If you could give me an exact date so I can mark my calendar, that would be wonderful as well." he said. "I believe it will be on the 20th." Sam said. "Wonderful! I can't wait!" Raj said before he went and sat back down. "Wow, I haven't seen him that happy since Eat, Pray, Love came out." Howard said.

"I'm glad I got to meet a fan, don't really have a lot of them." Sam said. "I don't see why." Raj said. Sam shrugged. "Well at least I know you appreciate my book." she said. "It changed my life, honestly." Raj said. "Really? How so Raj?" Sam asked. "Well the entire perspective changed my view of the entire world. It was like an entirely new place when I got done. I couldn't put it down, I literally read it all in one night." Raj said. "Wow Raj, I'm..I'm very flattered by that." She smiled happily and couldn't help a cute giggle that came out. "Sam, would you like to go out for dinner with me tomorrow night?" Raj asked. "I-" Sam squeaked, not expecting that at all. "I..." She glanced at Sheldon, who showed no interest. "Yes. I would love to have dinner with you Raj." she said. "Wonderful. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8?" Raj asked. "I'll be waiting." Raj was undoubtedly cute, like Sulu cute. "Great. Well, I've got to get going home." Raj said and Howard stood up. "I'll give you a ride home." he said before the two filed out of the apartment, leaving the girls with Sheldon and Leonard.

"Wow." Sam said, blushing. "Awwww, that was adorable." Penny and Daisy said. "Well, if you three don't mind, Leonard and I have to be getting up early tomorrow morning." Sheldon said as he stood up.

"Oh, Sheldon, wait a minute. Do you think you could give me a few need-to-know things about Doctor Who before I start watching it from the beginning?" Daisy asked. "You're planning to watch it from the beginning? Do you know how long that will take?" Sheldon asked. "No, but it's ok. Just give me what I need to know before I start watching it." Daisy said.

"Doctor Who originally began in the sixties. If you wish to start from the beginning you must watch the originals first. Then again you may not need to you can start from Christopher Eccleston a.k.a The 9th Doctor and just go from there." Sheldon said. "I'll start from the beginning. Do they have those on Netflix?" Daisy asked. "More than likely if not you can always head down to the nearest Barnes and Noble." Sheldon said. "Or you could let her borrow your DVD, Sheldon. Be a good friend." Leonard said with a big smirk. "I would think once she sees it, she would want to keep it, so buying it would be the best idea." Sheldon said before he headed back to his bedroom.

"Well, we'll see you tomorrow, Leonard." Penny, Daisy and Sam said before they all filed out of the apartment. "See you tomorrow." Leonard called out after them after he kissed Penny goodnight.

"Hey Penny, could I talk to you for a minute?" Daisy asked her sister after Sam had said goodnight to the two of them and went to her apartment for the night. "Sure, sweetie, come on let's go inside." Penny said as she and Daisy walked into Penny's apartment.

"Ok, so what's up?" Penny asked. "Well, I was at the comic book store today and I met the owner, Stuart." Daisy said. "Oh, that's great. What did you think of him?" Penny asked. "I really like him. He's a cutie, but he seems so nervous around me." Daisy said and Penny smiled. "He was the same way with me at first too. Remember when I told you I went out with him that one time?" Penny asked and Daisy nodded. "Yeah." she said. "Well, it was after a while that he got to be comfortable around me. So maybe when he's a little more comfortable and he's not stuttering around you like he is right now, maybe you could ask him out or see if he'll ask you out." Penny said and Daisy smiled. "Thanks, sis. That's great advice." she said as she hugged her older sister.

"Oh, I was thinking. Maybe tomorrow if you want, I could talk to my boss and introduce you to him so that I can put a good word in for you if you want to get a job at the Cheesecake Factory." Penny said and Daisy nodded. "Sure, that'd be great, Penny. I'd really appreciate that." she said. "Alright then. I leave for work at 10, so I'll pick you up at 9:30 and I'll drive so that I can show you the way in case we have different shifts, but I'll ask my manager if he can give you the same shift as me for a little while until you figure your way out around the place." Penny said. "Thanks, sis. That sounds great." Daisy said and the two hugged once again before Daisy went to her own apartment for the night.

Meanwhile...

"I can't believe you asked her out." Howard said to Raj, stunned. "I was going to ask out the Jessica Rabbit chick." he said. "You were going to ask her out for the wrong reason. I asked her out for the right reason. At least we'll have something to talk about." Raj said. "By the way she has a name and it's Sam."

"Look, you do it your way and I'll do it mine. She is Jessica Rabbit! Look at that Hair!" Howard said. "It's obviously dyed, what do you care?" Raj asked. "Because it is a chance to fulfill my childhood dream. And besides who else but the two of us are interested? Leonard is taken and Sheldon is far too robotic and Spock-logical to even give her a second glance." Howard said. "Well, I don't care. I'm not giving up my chance to have dinner with Sam." Raj said. "You can try and win her over all you like, but I better not see you on our date." he said before Howard pulled up to Raj's place.

"How can you see someone with mad ninja skills! and besides...where are you taking her?" Howard asked. "I was thinking about-oh no I don't think so. I'm not telling you so you can just show up. Good night, Howard." Raj said as he opened the door and walked out of the car. "Damn it!" Howard said to himself before driving off.

The Next Day...

Sam ran out of her apartment and started knocking on the door. "Sheldon?" knock knock. "You there?" she asked through the door. Sheldon answered the door. "Yes?" he answered. "Hi, okay I really need your help." She walked into the apartment wearing a large over coat and a pair of heels. "I need to know if this is too much for my date with Raj." She turned around and opened the coat, showing off her Alexander McQueen Lace Jaquard Circle dress. The dress was red with black accents and came to just at her knees.

Sheldon looked at her as if she had just grown three heads before he called out. "Leonard!" he called. "Believe me, Samantha, Leonard knows more about fashion than I do. He's around Penny all the time. Speaking of, why couldn't you go to her or Daisy?" he asked. "Because neither one of my sisters are here and you are right next door." she sighed, throwing off the coat fully. "Oh." Sheldon said before Leonard walked out. "What do you want, Sheldon?" Leonard asked. "Sam needs your help on whether she's wearing the right dress or some nonsense." he said before he sat back down and put his headset on as he was lost in his computer once more.

"I just need to know if this is too much. Everything else I have is just too...Me, I guess. I want to look nice so I pulled this dress out of the closet. And, Sheldon yelled for you because he doesn't know." Sam said. "I realized that. The one thing he doesn't know. That's a great dress, Sam, but I think Raj would really like for you to be yourself, but that dress is really nice if you're going to one of those really nice restaurants." Leonard said. "That's the thing, I don't know where he is taking me. He won't tell me so how am I supposed to know what to wear?" Sam asked. "Well then that should be just fine." Leonard said. "Okay." She said nervously. "Don't worry, you look great." he said just before Penny and Daisy were heard coming upstairs.

"You did a great job, you're really getting the hang of it." Penny said. "Thanks, it's not as hard as I thought it would be, although the table numbers are kind of confusing me still. We both were never very good at math." Daisy said. "Yeah, it was confusing for me too." Penny said. "Girls!" Sam came running down. "Will you make me look pretty for tonight?" she asked.

"Makeover time!" Penny and Daisy yelled happily. "Ok, I've got hair and make-up, Dais, you got clothes covered?" Penny asked. "Sure do, let's go!" Daisy said happily as they dragged Sam into her apartment. "But I already picked out a dress." Sam tried to say.

"Ok and that's too gorgeous to change out, so how about I do make-up and Penny you do hair?" Daisy asked. "Alright, you're a bit better at make-up than me anyways, especially when the outfit is already picked out." Penny said before they sat Sam down on a bar stool. "Ok, where is your make-up?" Daisy asked. "And hair supplies?" Penny asked.

"Um, I believe in the bathroom. What are you going to make me wear? Why is it too pretty?" Sam asked. "You can keep your dress on, sweetie, don't worry." Penny said as she set up a mirror and stood behind her sister to start fixing her hair. "Ok, let's see..." Penny said, thinking about how to style Sam's hair.

Sam sat there, watching her sisters circle her while they were in thought. It easily creeped her out when they did this. "GOT IT!" the two yelled, making Sam jump in her seat before the two sat her down and got to work on her hair and make-up. "I really hate when you do that." she said. "We know." they said.

Sam sat there for about two hours before she was all done from head to toe. "Well?" She asked still unable to see herself.

"Hold on, we have to check our work. Ok, Penny, check the make-up and I'll check the hair." Daisy said before the two switched places. "Perfect." they said before Penny moved out of the way and let Sam see her reflection in the mirror as her sisters stood behind her with big smiles on their faces.

"Oh...my..." She smiled. "Good job, girls. You think Raj will like it?" she asked. "He'll love it. But if you want we can always get a first and second opinion." Penny said. "Um...sure." Sam gasped as her sisters jerked her up and dragged her next door.

Daisy knocked on the door. "Leonard, Sheldon, we need your opinions!" she and Penny yelled.

Leonard opened the door and smiled before he looked at Sam. "Wow." he stuttered. "Opinion number 1." Daisy said before they pushed past Leonard and walked in with Sam. "Sheldon, what do you think of Sam's look?" Penny asked as she let Sam stand near Sheldon, who was watching something that was either Star Wars or Star Trek.

"Sheldon!" They yelled. "What is it?" he asked irritably as he looked at the girls, obviously stunned by Sam as they could tell. "What do you think?" Sam asked. "She looks very presentable." Sheldon said before turning his attention back to the TV. "That's Sheldon's version of you look beautiful." Leonard said. "Wow. Thank you, Sheldon." Sam said. "You're welcome, Samantha." Sheldon said. "Ok, let's go ahead and get you back to your place. Raj should be here any minute to pick you up." Penny said as she and Daisy took Sam back to her apartment, just in time for Raj to pick her up as the two went on their date.
