I apologize for taking so long to update...writer's block?

AU. Loves that stands the test of time. Identical twins Sheldon and Sheldor along with Penny and Penelope leap in time forward or backward 50 years by temporarily taking the place of other people.

I used my creative license during the writing of this AU story. Consequently it may not be historically accurate. Fanfiction published without beta. Constructive reviews are most appreciative.

An elongation of the "100 Ways To Kill A Doctor - SuperSonic" Challenge originally published: 10-15-15, Rated M: Genre: Fantasy/Adventure. My Second shot at fanfiction without beta.


Chapter 3 – Assimilation

Sheldor having to duck through the entrance of the inn is aware of the numerous gasps and stares. Sheldor noticed that the people of this time were shorter roughly on average five feet five inches. The innkeeper and what appears to be his wife look increasingly uncomfortable at his approach.

"Hello Sir, I am looking for Mr. James I apologize I forgot his last name. I am the Luke, the carpenter from Jerusalem he requested to craft new dining room furniture."

The innkeeper and his wife visibly relaxed. Mr. James noted that the carpenter was a little shorter than Goliath who was six feet nine inches. His body was massive but with sculptured muscular definition. "I spoke to your father he was very proud of you and stated you are a master craftsman. Is your family well?"

"Yes sir, my father's business is thriving and my stepmom's weaving is in high demand."

"I was not aware she was your stepmom?"

"Yes she raised me since I was a month old. My mom died in childbirth…I was a large baby."

"I apologize if I brought up any painful memories.'' Uncomfortable Mr. James changed the subject, "As you can see our existing furnishings are a little outdated and our business has increased tenfold. I wish for comfortable, functional, and compact furnishings to accommodate our guests as well as individuals who come to dine only."

"I understand, I would like to get started immediately if you could direct me to my sleeping quarters and arrange for me to tour the entire facility I can generate some options for you."

"That will be satisfactory. I will have my son Mark escort you wherever you need to go."

"Thank you, Sir."


Ruthie/Penelope is worn out cleaning rooms with no help from Mykel. She enters the kitchen for lunch. Hopefully, she can gossip with her sisters regarding the men in the area. She is greeted by her oldest sister Naomi. "Hi Ruthie!" The next older sister Nivea, who she thought of as the "lotion chick," decided to have a little fun with her. "Ruthie you need to stay away from the carpenter. Mom said he is the size of Goliath and that his mother died in childbirth. You being the smallest of us would surely perish if he was husband." The sisters tittered at the "lotion chick's" wit. However, she did not realize that Penelope was a master.

"I believe you sister dear. That is why Papa said that there will be a feast tonight and that he would introduce Goliath to his three eldest daughters."

Their father stood on the other side of the door and was not pleased with his older daughters" teasing of Ruthie/Penelope and thought to teach them a lesson. As he entered the kitchen, "Great, you girls are all here. We will have an outdoor feast tonight and my three eldest daughters will be the entertainment. The carpenter has arrived and it would be favorable if we could lure his talents here. Smiling he walked around and kissed each of his daughters on her forehead with an additional wink for Ruthie/Penelope.

Ruthie/Penelope thought the sister's expressions were priceless and adored her father's sense of humor. She realized that she was extremely petite so getting with a huge dude was not at the top of her list. The feast tonight will give her the opportunity to observe the local men so that she could sleuth out Sheldor.


Antipas/Sheldon needed to conduct an audit of the centurion Phil's holdings. It was bought to his attention by the ruler, that the centurion lives way above his means. To travel to his home will take two days with his contingent of servants. He would establish himself within Phil's household while conducting the audit. It was his understanding that Phil would be on campaign and not be present during this time. However, Phil's eight wives and numerous children will be in residence. Oh what fresh hell is this.

Sheldon was interested in observing the stars and the date surrounding the Christian religion birth of Jesus Christ, as well as finding Penny.


Patsy/Penny was standing beside the clear bathing pool studying her reflection. Which stymied her because there were no pool chemicals to treat the water. She appeared to be a full figured teen with a penchant towards snarkiness. Her most irritating trait is that she couldn't remember names. She can recall the face, build, and job but names elude me once spoken. To disguise her problem she calls everyone 'Sweetie.' It makes them feel good.

The household is busy preparing for the arrival of the tax collector. As Patsy/Penny explore the home she notices several servants disappear behind false walls with valuables. A tax collector is next to useless if he announces his arrival, dumbass.

Patsy/Penny observed a slave yesterday that could be Sheldon. His skin color was mocha latte and he spoke with a most interesting accent. On that thought she left the bathing pool to investigate the slave.


Thank you for reading my story.
