First I've noticed the last couple weeks I have seen a couple stories feature Missy in them whether due to this story or not I take full credit, haha.
I was going to have a Christmas and or New Years but that'll be pushed back due to one it's going to take Missy a couple extra chapters before she decides what to do and whether or not she moves to sunny California and also I started this to late in the year as the date to due this plus needing a beta didn't help either so if there's a holiday chapter(s) jan, feb or even later don't get upset this was planned all along.
Happy New Years and I hope everyone has fun and not to Drink and drive.
The boys are sitting down in the Caltech Cafeteria when Leonard breaks the news that Missy is in town.
Without missing a beat, Howard fires off, questioning Leonard, "So Missy is back? Like before? Just visiting? Or more?"
"Just a few days, I think. Penny said she just showed up in the middle of the night."
"I wonder if something's wrong." Raj wondered aloud.
"Penny said she just got engaged and is having second thoughts, and not to tell Sheldon until Missy gets a chance to tell him later." Leonard replied.
"Well, it must be destiny that she's here. Maybe this is my second shot with her, since the last time she seemed to be interested, until my mutism reappeared." Raj said, hopeful.
"Oh please, she wasn't interested in you." Howard scoffs.
"You weren't there, she was craving the mocha chocolate delight that is me, not pale and pasty." Raj retorted.
"Oh please you can't even talk to her." Howard snarks back.
"It won't hold me back this time, I've been getting help for it."
Howard then pulls up Missy's Facebook page and sees the picture of her fiancé from his phone.
"What are you doing?" Leonard asks.
"Seeing what Missy's fiancé looks like." Howard replies. He shows both of the guys the pictures of him and Missy together.
"So Raj you may be mocha chocolate, but Missy craves chiseled good looks with a tan and a body of a Greek god." Howard smarmed.
"Why do you have to be so mean?" Raj pouts. He sighed, takes Howard's phone to get a closer look and flips through some other photos, some different but in each they're always smiling "He looks like a more groomed and better looking and overall better version of Brad Pitt, plus much taller, how can I compete with that, curse you Shiva."
"How tall is he, he looks like a giant?" Raj pouts
"Penny says Missy told her he is 6'4" and had a shot at the NFL before getting hurt."
"What's that?" Howard asks clueless.
"Beats me Penny said its a big deal."Leonard shrugs.
"I have no chance now." Raj sulks.
"What happened to you being Mocha Chocolate? I thought you were Brown Dynamite and your mutism wasn't going to stop you." Leonard smirked.
"That's before I learned she was dating a blonde Greek god, I can only dream of having a body like this" Raj pouted.
Howard and Leonard look at him questionly at the last part.
Sheldon sat down at the table.
" I hope you three weren't just discussing my sisters sudden appearance, do I need to refresh your memories of her last visit?" Sheldon inquires.
"We're more mature this time, thank you very much. Plus I'm married, so tell Missy hands off. Unless she wants to share with Bernie, then I'd be okay with that." Howard says.
"Howard I seriously doubt she wants to have a threesome with you and Bernadette. Is Bernadette even into that?" Leonard asks, his curiosity piqued wondering if what he thought about Bernadette was true.
"I don't know, she might, but I haven't asked. Plus Missy just got here, although Bernadette does have some interesting fetishes and fantasies" Howard says
"Can we please not discuss your delusional attempts at engaging in coitus with my sister." Sheldon says with not a small amount of disapproval in his tone.
"Well, you have nothing to worry about. I have Penny now." Leonard said proudly.
"Raj you're awfully quiet, nothing to add to this?" Sheldon raised an eyebrow.
"He's just upset that he can't compete with Missy's guy." Howard replies, earning himself a glare, courtesy of Raj.
"I'll have you know, Missy would be the happiest woman if she was with me. I'd spoil her and treat her like a queen. Also, Sheldon, every family needs a little mocha in their latte every now and then." Raj announces.
"Oh please, you can't even talk to my sister unless inebriated or heavily medicated." Sheldon shot back.
"Not this time! Not this time, I won't let it hold me back. I'll make her my Amazon Princess and unlike the two of you she's not taller than me. Missy Koothrapalli even has a nice ring to it." Raj trails on.
"One; she has a guy. Two; who says she's interested? And you 're the same height, maybe she prefers a tall guy? And three, do you really want Sheldon as your brother in law?" Howard lists off. Sheldon sends Howard a glare, "and lastly, but the most obvious; you're a mute around women! Somehow I doubt a woman like Missy would be all over a guy who can't hold a conversation with her." Howard finished.
"First of all, she showed up out of the blue, so maybe something's wrong and second, last time she was actually going to invite me in, except that drug wore off. " Raj smirked this time. "And I'm ok with Sheldon being family. Missy is his sister, he can't be that bad. And stop being so pedantic about my mutism, I'm working on it dude."
"Raj, while I applaud both your enthusiasm and your efforts, I feel it my duty to inform you that, sadly for you, you're likely to fall just short of your goal. Even if out of the three of you, you are the evolutionary primary candidate for her mate." Sheldon said, surprising them all.
"What?" Howard and Leonard sputtered in unison. "And we're not?"
"Howard, Leonard, I could go on for days, just listing off reasons why either of you would be beyond subpar suitors to my sister, and I'm certain she would agree to most, if not all of them." Sheldon deadpanned. "Now, as I was saying; Raj, you have the evolutionary advantage of being the most exotic out of this group and you have a point about genetic diversity produces the strongest offspring as it maybe true, not to mention your lack of evolutionary impeding allergies, thus giving you the largest advantage in this motley crew of delicate genetics. However, you do not display characteristics nor mannerisms that would give you an edge with Missy. And as we all keep pointing out, but I feel the need to drive this point home; Missy is currently attached. You would do well to remember that."
"It's because I'm Indian, isn't it?" Raj pouted, ignoring the last part of Sheldon's rant.
Sheldon sighed. "Well, actually, I am not sure Mother would approve, a factor that bears considerable weight with Missy. I was also under the impression that your parents want you to settle down with a nice Indian woman. Was I mistaken?"
"At this point, they'd settle for me finding a nice woman, really. I thought your mother liked me?" Raj pouted a little, slightly indignant.
"Far be it from me to speak on behalf of my Mother, whose opinion of you I cannot fathom, considering the fact that you're quieter than a dormouse in church around her. Do take into account the depth of this woman's religious fervour, and although I'm quite certain your race has no bearing upon her personally, she is quite old fashioned." Sheldon drawled patiently, his tone softening when he spoke of her. "Neither she nor Missy have been conscious of it, but neither have expressed any affinity for or aversion to anyone outside of our race or culture."
"Evolutionarily, your 'adding mocha to the latte' statement has definite merit. But your biggest obstacle is coupled with your greatest advantage; I don't see my mother being very enthusiastic about a potential partner of my sister's being the religion of worshipping a cow, as would be viewed from her narrow perspective, as opposed to one that prays at the alter of Jesus." Sheldon added.
"So you'd approve if I was to date your sister?" Raj asks hopeful, again, only hearing what he wanted to.
" If Missy decided you are a suitable mate for her then I shan't stand in her way, especially after her conversation with me last time she visited. Like all other parts of my anatomy, I value my testicles. I have yet to test this hypothesis objectively. Would you be available for a series of tests to see how suitable you'd be?" Sheldon asked hopefully.
"I can see it now. Dr Raj and Missy Koothrapalli with our beautiful children, they would be more beautiful than even Aishawarya Rai. With my skintone and her looks and beautiful blue eyes they'd be absolutely breathtaking, and we'd have a beach house on the weekends and live in the suburbs. We'd give each nicknames and I'll adore her like the amazon princess that she is." Raj says dreamily.
Howard and Leonard just shake their heads at this.
"I thought Missy warned you that it was up to her to choose who she could and would not date?" Howard stated questioningly.
"That's true, but she's not here at the moment so my testicles are safe." Sheldon said smugly.
"Now back to more pressing issues, such as the upcoming installment to the Man of Steel legacy. Based on the trailer, this movie just might not suck, in fact it shows much promise. Also, are we correct in assuming you will both be joining Leonard and I tonight for movie night? We shall be watching The Dark Knight Rises" Sheldon rattled off in one breath.
"As much as I love seeing Anne Hathaway dressed up as Catwoman, I don't buy her as the sexy siren type. She's more the girl next door type that you take home to meet your mother, to me." Howard said, going off on a lecherous tangent.
"I hope not your mother." Leonard grinned into his food.
"Hey, she's a remarkable actress, don't put her work down. She was great in The Princess Diaries and deserves a Oscar for her role in Les Mirables" Raj says.
"Raj, it is precisely this matter that renders you as unsuccessful in your conquests as you are; to borrow from the vernacular, your rather questionable propensity for 'Chick Flicks'" Sheldon interrupted.
"Don't knock it. They're very entertaining movies." Raj speaks.
Sheldon just shook his head. "The Dark Knight Rises had its moments, but like the previous installment, it was a very predictable disappointment." he countered.
"It had very cool effects, and how cool was it for the bat mobile to fly?" Howard said.
"Point ceded, but it doesn't make up for the abysmal plot or how it lagged on." Sheldon says.
"How about Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle getting together at the end, Alfred no longer having to worry about Bruce, or him being happy?" Leonard asked with a slight whine.
"Oh yes, because the mark of a good movie is the happily ever after the likes of which are greatly reminiscent of the awful movies Raj gravitates toward." Sheldon scoffed.
"You just have no appreciation for a beautiful happy ending." Raj countered.
"Raj, please, don't embarrass yourself unnecessarily." Sheldon stood up, moving to head back to his office. "Gentlemen, I'll see you and your significant others for movie night this evening." he nodded, and left.
"Will Missy be there?" Leonard called after his retreating form.
"Of course." Sheldon threw out over his shoulder.
XXXXX
As they rode home together, Leonard continued to question Sheldon.
"So Sheldon, any idea on the reason for Missy's sudden appearance?" Leonard asked.
"No, I don't have a hypothesis to contemplate." Sheldon replied succinctly.
"What did your mom say?"
"Just that Missy left a text and said she'd be coming here for a few days."
"Hmm"
"What?"
"I hope nothing's wrong."
"Well until I speak to Missy, I'm not going to jump to any conclusions. If anything was that serious she would have called in advance instead of showing up in the middle of the night." Sheldon said decisively.
As they walked up the stairs to their floor, Sheldon turned to Leonard and said, "I'm going to see Missy now. I shall see you in a moment, however long that moment takes."
"Okay."
Knock Knock Knock
"Penny and Missy."
Knock Knock Knock
"Penny and Missy"
Knock Knock Knock
"Penny and Missy."
"What's up Sheldor?" Penny smiles at Sheldon.
"Hello Penny. I hope I'm safe from your prying eyes. Is Missy here?"
"Don't worry what I saw will hold me over for a good while. Yeah, she's in the kitchen." Sheldon glares Penny when she giggles.
Missy was dressed in a pair of jeans and a flowery top, with her hair pulled back in a pony tail, changing from the short black dress she had on when she arrived and was grateful that Penny offered her bed for the night and offered her something to wear even if she has some.
"Hello Missy, Mother says you just up and left her a message and said you're coming here Is there something wrong?"
"No, not really." Missy shrugged.
"What do you mean not really? Are you hurt? Is that Meemaw's casserole I smell?"
"Yes. How bout we talk in the livin' room?" Missy steered him away from the kitchen and both sat on the couch, Sheldon sitting in 'his spot' in Penny's apartment.
"Can we start with your sudden appearance, showing up here in the early hours of the morning."
"Okay. Shelly , I got engaged."
"Is that the reason for your melancholy, and sudden appearance?"
"Any otha' time, I'd probably be happy, but for some reason I'm not."
"I don't understand."
"Well he's a' great guy, I love him. I feel like I do, but I'd be trapped in that dang town for tha' rest of my life and bein' nothing more than a stay at home mom. I love momma but I can't see myself livin' her life."
"Well as much as I love our mother, I concede your point. Is he an alcoholic? Do you constantly fight like our parents? I hope he's not unfaithful with bar maidens like our father did. I certainly share your sentiments of not wanting that life or to live in that town much longer but I feel like you're not giving me the whole story."
"No. He only drinks occasionally and when he does he drinks it's a little and we don't fight. When we do have a' argument, it's nothing like Momma and Dad, not even close and no he's not unfaithful, he adores me and I've never seen him even glance at anotha' woman since we've been dating."
Missy proceeds to tell him about how she met him and what he does and the great guy he is.
"I don't recall a Bryan Davidson."
"That's because he moved into town when you were a' freshman in college."
"I see, well he seems smart. Obviously not as smart as I, but that's to be expected."
Missy rolls her eyes at this.
"So do Mother or Meemaw not approve? Or is your fear rooted in you not wanting to be nothing more than a wife and child bearer? Now it's understandable that you have these reservations, but remember you will potentially be giving the world a Sheldon 2.0. He'll be taller, better looking, smarter and less prone to bullying. With great nurturing on your part, I can help your children reach their potential."
Missy rolled her eyes. "Yes momma and Meemaw love him. That maybe why I'm unsure of him, but that's not the problem. Like I said this isn't how I thought my life would be, I have dreams Shelly, that are more than being someone's wife and mother to his children. Could ya' stop referring to a' Sheldon 2.0 unless you want to relive our little talk last time."
Sheldon covers his crotch at her threat.
"You seem upset, would you care for a hot beverage?"
"Yes please."
"I'll get it for you." Penny said, more listening to what they are saying than finishing dinner that Missy was preparing.
"How would you like it Missy?"
"With some lemon please."
As Penny brought her the tea, Sheldon put his arm around Missy's back to comfort her.
"There there, Sheldon's here."
"Oh Shelly you're so much better at it now." Missy beamed at him through her sniffles.
"Well that's the point. So I take it you feel better?"
"Yeah, I am, a little. Just have ta' think things over before I head home."
"So you'll be staying a few days?"
"Yes, I'll just stay at Penny's, if that's okay with ya'" Missy says looking over towards Penny for confirmation and Penny nods her head.
"So where will you sleep? I hope you don't plan on sleeping in the couch, you're way to tall for that."
"I have an air mattress." Penny says.
"Well I'll have to inspect it before I deem it acceptable."
"Shelly it's fine"
"Nonsense, I have to go through a series of checklists before I find it suitable for my sister."
"Shelly it's not that big of a' deal, I'm not you."
"Yeah Shelly." Penny smirks
"Penny please you are neither my sister nor mother. Stop calling me Shelly."
"How about Moonpie then?"
"No, that's reserved for Meemaw."
"Well then what may I call you?"
"You may call me Dr. Cooper, Doctor, or Sheldon."
"Uh no."
"Why not?"
"Those are too formal. Not personal enough for me." Penny sighed. "I guess I'll stick to Sheldon, then"
"Very well."
"and Whackadoodle." Sheldon glares at her at that.
Missy just sat back watching them interact. To the causal observer, it was easy to assume they were flirting. I guess if I move here I'll have to watch out for whatever is going on between Shelly and Penny.
The buzzer in the kitchen signaled the food is ready.
"Dinners ready." Penny announces.
After they were finished with dinner, Sheldon wiped his mouth and sighed slightly with contentment. "This is very good Missy, I forgot about how good a cook you were."
"Thanks Shelly I'm glad ya' like it."
"When did you start to bake? This is also good cobbler." Sheldon asked, his tone tinged with surprise.
"Just the last couple months. I can make mamma's award winning pies, as well."
"Well this is good. Not as good as mother's or Meemaw's but that's to be expected; but still satisfactory."
Missy just shook her head at that so used to Sheldon's unorthodoxed compliments. "So Shelly how've ya' been?"
"I'm fine. My bowels are fully functional, I've put on some muscle mass and my work is coming along greatly. And Amy and I are still in the relationship agreement."
"Oh good, not the bowels though. You're doing great things as a' rocket scientist, and I'm glad to hear about you and Amy."
"Good Lord woman, I'm a theoretical physicist, I'm currently working on The Higgs Boson Particle Theory, not that you would understand that."
Missy smirked. "I'm just messing with ya' Shelly."
Sheldon huffs.
"I may not understand what ya' work is about most of tha' time, but I know enough to be very proud of ya'. I just don't show it all the time, Shelly, but I am so proud of ya', and I tell just about everyone who'll listen about how proud I am of my famous scientist brother." Missy assured him.
Sheldon beams at this, outside of Memaw he thought no one in his family cared much less understood his work.
"So you're still with Amy? I couldn't believe it when momma' told us about it, Shelly with a girl. So what's she like?"
"Oh she's quite remarkable. A neurobiologist, in fact. Now it's not on par with my work but she's still a brilliant scientist nevertheless."
"Sheldon, she means Amy as a person, like how you feel about her." Penny says from the kitchen as the twins are now sitting back on the couch.
"Oh, well I suppose I feel something for her."
"Don't ya' love her Shelly?"
"Missy you know how I am about emotions, I more likely care for her than anything else."
"But you're her boyfriend?"
"Yes, what does that have anything?"
"Well it means ya' have ta' feel something for her. Don't ya' feel anything at all for her?"
"I suppose, but she keeps trying to push my physical boundaries, which irritates me to no small end. In addition, she's very needy, more so than Leonard and you know how needy he is. She doesn't respect my hobbies; she deems them childish. Furthermore, all she wants most of the time is to get intimate with me, which as you are well aware, is far beyond my comfort zone, and as such, frustrates me past any redeeming points she exhibits, as of late."
"Well-"Missy starts. Missy's phone rings, ending the conversation. It's Bryan. "I was hoping my text was enough. Well I have ta' take this, we'll finish this conversation later."
"Okay, but don't be long everyone is coming over for movie night. We shall be watching The Dark Knight Rises."
"Okay sure." Missy says. "Hi, Bryan how are ya'?"
Penny and Sheldon head across the hall to give Missy some privacy. Everyone is there, waiting for them.
"Hi guys." Penny says. "We'll be waiting until Missy ends her call with her fiancé."
"Who's Missy?" Amy asks confused, she hopes Penny didn't invite a friend and threating her claim as Penny's "bestie" she thought insecurely.
"My twin." Sheldon replied.
"You never told me you have a twin." Amy said hurt and questioningly.
"Oh I'm sure I have, but it's a moot point, since you know about her now."
"So how come you haven't mentioned a wedding then? You were going to take me since I'm your girlfriend, right?" Amy whined.
"Well she just became engaged and from the sudden appearance of her and our conversation tells me there maybe not be one." Sheldon patiently tells his needy girlfriend.
Amy looks a little upset at not only not getting to attend a wedding and meet Sheldon's family, him also not telling her he had a twin despite him saying that he did.
Missy returned a few minutes later. Amy and Bernadette were expecting a female version of Sheldon, and were surprised when instead they saw a stunning tall, leggy, busty brunette. Amy thought about how gorgeous she looked and what it must be like to have those legs to work with, and to be a male with those wrapped around their body.
"Oh good, that didn't take long." Sheldon says.
"Yea' I just told Bryan that I wanted to surprise ya' about the engagement and couldn't tell ya' this over tha' phone."
"I take it that you don't wish to be engaged?" Amy asked.
"Not really, I'm not sure."
"As much as I'd love to discuss my sisters shaky engagement again, The Dark Knight Rises waits for no one."
"Sheldon that's rude. Aren't you going to introduce your sister to people she hasn't met?" Penny suggests.
"My apologies. Missy the one that spoke is Amy, my girlfriend."
Amy beamed. "Hello. While you're no flaxen haired goddess like my bestie I can see why your fiancé would put a ring on it." she drawled in her typical monotone.
"Nice to meet ya' Amy, I think?" Missy says uncomfortably. "Is she coming onto me?" Missy whispered to Penny.
"No, you'll get use to it, though. At least she didn't say she wishes she were Bryan." Penny assured Missy.
"Okay." Missy looks confused.
"This is Bernadette, Howard's wife." Pointing in the direction of Bernadette.
As Missy steps forward to shake Bernadette's very smaller hand Bernadette feels even smaller next to the strikingly beautiful but tall brunette, with Missy wearing 4" heels, like she's not tall enough, Bernadette thought a little bitterly.
"Oh I wasn't expecting this."
"Wasn't expecting what?" Bernadette asked, confused.
"Howard married." Missy returns.
"Oh, you've met Howard before?" Bernadette asked, surprised, this time and wondered if Howard made a fool of himself or not to impress Missy she heard the stories from Penny of how he acted and tried to "impress" women and if she should apologize or not to her about her husband's past behavior.
"Yes. All three attempted a failed series of advances hoping to accomplish coitus with my sister. Of course as expected, they failed, a few years previous." Sheldon announces.
"Sheldon!" Penny rebuked.
"Well nice to meet you. I see why Howie here would want you, you are quite stunning. Are you a model?" Bernadette smiled.
"Oh heavens no. I live back home in Galveston, Texas." Missy laughed.
"So where are you staying, if you have no place me and Bernadette have plenty of room?" Howard asks suggestively, made he could find out if his wife would be up for what he discussed with the guys at lunch with Sheldon's sister or wishful thinking, he's not sure which.
"Howard!" Bernadette squeaks
"Oh please, I seriously doubt my sister wants to share a bed with you and Bernadette as well as that you live with your mother."
"I'm staying at Penny's." Missy replies quickly.
"Oooh, having a slumber party, are we?" Howard wiggles his eyebrows lecherously, Bernadette then smacks him upside the head.
"Ow, I was kidding." Howard says rubbing his head.
"Well, one more of those and you're walking home."
"Yes Howard, me and Missy are going to rub body lotion on each others naked bodies and play naked twister and have naked pillow fights after the movie." Penny says.
Howard, Leonard, Raj and Amy have a mental picture of what Penny just said.
"Sarcasm?"
"What do you think Sheldon?"
"Yes, good I'm 4 for 11."
"Now that the sexual innuendo-laced portion of the evening is done with, and introductions have been made; I'm certain you remember Leonard and Raj," she waves at both. "Its time to watch The Dark Knight Rises. I'm about to start with or without you." Sheldon said impatiently.
The lights are turned down, everyone is watching the movie and while Missy would normally not bother with this sort of movie, she was fairly entertained. She would casually spare a glance at her brother and Penny, who were sneaking glances of their own at one another, and she looks around to see everyone watching the movie. Well, I guess I'll have more a chance to see what's going on with those two if I do move here after all. As she turned back to see what the Caped Crusader was up to, Raj glanced at her across the room out of the corner of his eye.
If anyone has any ideas or future suggestions PM me and if anyone has a suggestion of Penny's last name let me know.
