Warning: A bit OOC, because it's Sheldon, and rated PG-13.

"Pass me a slice of pizza," Nikki commanded Sheldon. He handed her one as requested and she took a bite of it as she turned and leaned against Howard and kicked her feet onto Sheldon's lap.

"Thanks," she said, munching her dinner. Howard seemed to like it, but Sheldon most certainly did not.

"Are you comfortable?" he asked irritably. She nodded.

"Yeah, thanks for checkin'," she replied. He rolled his eyes and didn't argue any more. Not that he had the chance to, anyways. At that moment, the door swung open and all of Nikki's sisters walked in.

"Hey," Genesis yelled, plopping onto the floor at Leonard's feet and taking a slice of pizza. Her twin, Amethyst, sat beside her and grabbed one as well. Emma sat at the counter, facing them all.

"Guys!" Nikki exclaimed, swinging her feet on Sheldon's lap and standing. "What are you doing here?"

"We wanted to celebrate the one month anniversary of you not being with us," Genesis said happily. Nikki rolled her eyes.

"Well, you can't just barge into someone's house unannounced," Sheldon said.

"Oh," Emma said, "well, I'm Emma, that's Amethyst, and that's Genesis, and I'm announcing we barged into your house." Nikki slapped her hand to her face.

"So," Leonard said, "you're the ones that blew up the apartment?"

"Bet your ass," Amethyst replied, holding her hand up. Genesis slapped her twin's hand with her own.

"So," Emma began, "how's life with my dear twin sister?"

"Must dumb your IQ down by about twenty points," Genesis commented.

"I have an IQ of one hundred and eighty-seven," Sheldon said, "and a twenty-six year old woman such as your sister here couldn't change that."

"Yeah, well, she's still stupid," Genesis said.

"I hardly think so," Sheldon said without thinking. Everyone looked at him. A slight blush crept up his face. "I'm merely saying I don't find Nikki stupid."

"Thanks, Sheldon," Nikki said, blushing slightly as well.

"Ooooh!" Emma chanted. "Someone's got a cruuuuuush!"

"Emma," Nikki said, rolling her eyes. "I do not."

"I do," Howard said, raising his eyebrows at Emma. She gave him a 'really?' face.

"Go home, guys," Nikki pleaded.

"We don't have a home," Amethyst reminded her. "We stay in a hotel."

"Then go to your hotel!" Nikki exclaimed. "Just don't stay here!"

"But we're your guests!" Genesis said. "And we want food." Nikki sighed.

"If I give you twenty dollars to go out to eat, will you leave?" Sheldon asked.

"Yes!" Genesis exclaimed.

"No, Sheldon, don't give them money," Nikki said. "They're just gonna come back wanting more."

"No, no, it's fine," Amethyst said. "We won't ask for more, I swear." She gave him an 'I'm innocent' face. He rolled his eyes and handed her a twenty dollar bill. They all left quickly, not saying thanks or anything, not that Nikki expected it.

Everyone looked at her.

"So..." she began, "yeah. Those are my sisters. Feel bad for me?"

"Pleeeease?" Nikki pleaded.

"No!" Sheldon declared.

"Please please please?" she whined.

"No!" he repeated. "Nikki, why can't you just take one of your sisters to your uncle's with you?"

"Because they're no fun!" she exclaimed. "And they all have work today." She stuck out her bottom lip. "Please?" He sighed.

"All right. Fine. I'll go with you." She squealed and threw her arms around him in a hug.

"Thank you!" she said, kissing his cheek. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She ran to the bathroom to change. "And dress in something you don't mind getting dirty!" she added before slamming the door.

"Hey, Uncle Damion"! Nikki squealed, throwing herself into her uncle's arms. He hugged her back before she grabbed Sheldon's arm and said, "This is my friend Sheldon Cooper."

Sheldon and Damion shook hands. "Nice to meet you, sir," Sheldon said politely.

Damion raised his eyebrows. "You're Texan, aren't you?" he asked. Sheldon nodded.

"Yes, I am."

"I could tell Got that drawl." He put his arm around his niece's shoulders. "Let's go inside, darlin'. You need to make me dinner." Nikki scoffed.

"Why would I make you dinner? I'm a guest at your house, therefore you make my dinner, silly goose."

"Yeah, no chance of that," Damion said. Nikki laughed.

"Good point." She and Damion began walking and she beckoned for Sheldon to follow them. "C'mon, Shelly."

He would've yelled at anyone else calling him "Shelly" besides his family, but he didn't mind it with her.

"Is that old swing still in the barn?" Nikki excitedly asked Damion. He nodded, not looking up from the football game he was glued on.

"Yeah, it is." She hopped from her seat.

"Ooh, Sheldon, come on!" she said happily, taking his hand and pulling him from his seat. "Emma and I would play on this swing for hours on end as kids. I wanna show you!"

"Okay," he said, standing. He didn't really care about football. He was never interested in it as a kid.

He was lead out to a barn, where Nikki climbed onto a fence and jumped over it. "Comin'?" she added over her shoulder before turning to face him. He rolled his eyes and climbed over the fence, landing beside her. There were chickens everywhere and a big white horse in a field a few feet away. Nikki took his hand and pulled him into the barn, shooing chickens as she went.

"Okay!" she said, standing beside what looked like two loops connected to a chain hanging from the rafters of the ceiling. "You see, you sit in this one" she sat in the loop that was higher than the other "and put your legs through this" she slipped her legs through the other loop "now I need you to stand there" she pointed to her feet.

Sheldon moved in front of her feet and she opened her legs. He looked at her questioningly. "Stand there about at my knees," she commanded. He raised his eyebrows. "Oh, just do it!" she snapped. He knew better than to argue with her, so he did.

"And why am I doing this?" he asked.

"Because you're my friend," she replied simply. He gave her a look. "Because I said please?" He looked at her again. "Because I'm your ride home?" That got him.

"Fair enough," he replied. "Now what?"

"Spin me around," she replied, "really fast until you're pretty much standing still and I'm going around you." He rolled his eyes and did as she said, going slowly at first, but faster as she swung.

"Let go!" she shrieked, so he did and quickly jumped out of the way. She swung around, laughing like a little kid the whole time. He watched her, her blond curls shimmering in the noon-day sunshine. Her giggling subsided as the swing slowly came to a stop.

Nikki's face was completely lit up with happiness. "Sit down!" she commanded, pulling her legs from the bottom swing and gesturing for him to sit in it.

"No, thanks," Sheldon said. Nikki frowned.

"Yes, thanks, come on!" She kicked it once. He sighed and sat down in it. The swing pushed the very close together, so Nikki put her feet on his lap and pushed off very slightly so it was just a bit more awkward.

"Isn't it pretty?" Nikki sighed, leaning her head on the loop and looking out over the farm. Sheldon looked. It was fairly appealing to look at, he had to admit.

"Yeah," he agreed. He looked at her. She was still staring out at the farm. She looked back at him. They looked at each other for a moment.

That's when she kissed him.

She'd never know why she did it, and if you asked her, she'd say he kissed her. But aside from all that, the fact of the matter was they were kissing, and Sheldon, while extremely shocked, was enjoying it. Behind all the surprise, that is.

"I'm so sorry," Nikki gasped when she realized what she was doing and pulled back. "I have no clue what came over me."

"You...you kissed me," he said slowly, reaching a hand up to feel his lips. They were burning, as were Nikki's.

"I know, and I'm sorry," she repeated. "I don't know why I did. I just feel so bad about that." With that, she slipped out of the swing and began walking back to the barn.

"You two haven't said a thing to each other since you got back," Howard said as he handed Nikki her chicken.

"That's not true," Nikki said. She looked at Sheldon. "Hi, Sheldon." He looked at her and opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it and shook his head. Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows, but he simply looked at his dinner.

"Right," Penny said slowly. "So, Nikki, did you two have fun?"

"Uh...yeah," Nikki said. "Yeah, it was nice."

"Good," said Leonard. "Good..." They continued eating. Sheldon looked at Nikki and opened his mouth to say something again, but promptly closed it and continued eating. Nikki had a feeling she was the only one who noticed.

He did it again. It was hard to focus on your food while he was doing that. Okay, that's the fourth time, what's going on?

"What!" she finally said, looking at him. "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm trying to figure out a way to word the question I have to ask," he said before realizing he did. He looked straight for a moment, obviously upset he had said that. Everyone looked at him.

"What's your question?" Howard asked. Sheldon shook his head.

"Okay," said Penny, "maybe we should give him some time to think..." They all stood, except Sheldon, and began walking to the door. Nikki was the last one. She was about to walk out the door when he blurted, "Do you want to go out with me?"

Her heart dropped from her chest. She turned around. He had clapped his hand to his mouth and his eyes were wide in surprise.

"Did you just...?" She cleared her throat. "Did you just ask me out?"

"I...I guess I did," he stammered, his voice slightly high-pitched. "But in no way whatsoever do you have to say yes," he continued hurriedly. Nikki stared at him. "I'm really not sure why I asked. I know the feelings you have for me are of a friend, if even that, but I just-"

He was cut off by Nikki throwing herself at him and kissing him. He had expected her to say no, laugh at him, even, but certainly not do that. Not that he was complaining.

"...and must be destroyed," the video on Discovery Channel said as a baby pig hobbled across the screen with a birth defect. Nikki's eyes widened as her heart fell to the floor. She cuddled closer to Sheldon.

"Why are we watching this?" she whined.

"It's interesting," Howard replied, his eyes stuck on the bleeding pig penis on the TV screen. Nikki looked at the screen and her eyes widened in horror.

"Oh, God'llmighty!" she yelped, burying her face into Sheldon's side. "Why do I hang out with you guys?"

"Because you live with us," Leonard replied, his eyes locked on the screen as well. Nikki brought herself to look with great difficulty and had to fight her lunch back down her throat as a human hand began poking at the bleeding pig penis.

"Oh my God," she breathed, holding her hands to her face. "Tell me when it's over," she moaned through her fingers. After a moment, Sheldon said, "It's over."
Nikki peeked in between her fingers and saw a dwarf pig. "Aww!" she cooed, taking her hands away and watching it hobble around. It was frankly one of the cutest things she had ever seen.

That section ended quickly. The next was one of the saddest things she had ever seen.

A piglet was lying down twitching and struggling with a huge bubble on it's head. Nikki's heart was heavy as the announcer spoke about it's defect. The next thing she knew, a hand with a knife came out of the corner of the screen and stabbed the bubble. Blood poured out and Nikki flat out moaned. She buried her face into Sheldon again and willed herself not to vomit.

After about twenty seconds, she peeked her head out again. Blood was still pouring and she moaned, sticking her face back into Sheldon's side and wrapping her arms around him so he was closer to her, hoping to block out the voice of the narrarator.

"Uhhh," she moaned into Sheldon's side, "kill me now."

"Do you need to lie down?" he asked her, looking down. She nodded into him.

"Yes, please," she moaned in a muffled voice. He sighed and stood up, pulling her with him.

"I'm taking her to lay down in my room," he told the others. They all nodded, still staring contently at the screen. Nikki allowed herself to be tugged to his bedroom, where she sat on the bed and pulled her feet up with her, hugging her knees to herself.

"You okay?" he asked her. She nodded shakily.

"I can just never get that image from my mind," she moaned, burying her face into her knees. Sheldon sat beside her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Sorry we made you watch it," he apologized, kissing the top of her head. "Anything I can do to make you feel better?"

"I could think of something," she murmured, sitting up on her knees and pressing her lips against his. He was a bit surprised, but responded to the kiss anyways. A tiny moan emitting from the back of her throat gave him an insane boost of confidence, so he shocked them both by pushing her onto the bed and kissing her with more passion. She eagerly responded to it all the same, but then something hit her like a train.

"Wait," she gasped, pushing him back. "Wait."

"What?" he asked, frowning. "Is something wrong?"

"No!" she exclaimed. "No, not at all. Just...we should probably use protection."

Protection. Right. "Oh, yeah. Okay. I'll be right back." He got off the bed and walked into the living room, where Howard and Raj were just leaving. He knew Leonard had condoms in there.

"What are you doing?" Leonard asked as Sheldon rifled through one of the drawers.

"Leonard, it would take a very long time to name absolutely everything I'm doing right now," Sheldon said, "but I can try. I'm breathing, blinking, talking, standing, digging through drawers, living in this house, listing, loo-"

"Okay, fine," Leonard sighed. "I get it."

Sheldon finally found one. He quickly pocketed it before Leonard could see and said, "I'm going back to my room now." He hurried to the hallway, but Leonard said, "What are you doing in there?"

He thought. He couldn't lie; he was bad at that. Then he remembered something Leonard had compared Nikki to a few weeks ago.

"Oh," Sheldon said airily, "a math problem." With that, he went to his bedroom.

Nikki woke up suddenly as if someone had yelled in her ear. Not that someone yelling in her ear could wake her. She was a heavy sleeper. But she woke suddenly that morning.

At first, nothing registered in her mind. She lifted her head up slightly and looked around. She was in a bedroom, she could tell that, and it was mainly blue. She didn't know why, so she simply rested her head back on Sheldon's chest and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.

Wait, that sentence wasn't right.

Sheldon's chest?

What!

Nikki looked up, her eyes bugging entirely. Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper was sleeping soundly beside her, oblivious to her shock. His eyes were closed and his breathing said he was still asleep. She didn't really want to wake him, but she knew she had better get dressed (oh, looky there, she's naked), so she moved very slightly to get up.

He woke up. Crud.

He looked at Nikki with a surprised expression on his face, then at his bare chest, then he peeked under the blankets, then slapped the blanket back onto his chest, his eyes huge.

"Oh my God," he said slowly. "Nikki, tell me you have clothes on."

"I'm not gonna lie, Shelly," she replied. His eyes widened more.

"Are you telling me," he began, "that we just had intercourse when we were by no means allowed to since we are not bonded by marriage?" Nikki couldn't repress her smile. His using big words was undeniably cute to her, despite the fact that half the time she couldn't understand them.

"Yep," she said. "Yeah, that's just about right." He sighed.

"Wow...well...that's, uh..."

"I know what you mean," she agreed. But then she cuddled back up beside him, resting her head on his chest. After a moment, she felt his arms slide around her and hug her closer, sighing as he held her.

They laid there for a moment, but then he said, "I thought you didn't sleep with men on your first date?" She blushed and looked up at him.

"I...oh, shut up."

Well, there's that. And, in attempt to get more reviews, I will do this: first review I get on this chapter (and I mean a REAL review, not just 'first!' or something) gets a character in this next chapter. I'll PM you and we'll discus. Okay? Okay! :D
