I just finished typing the chapter that I consider as the most emotional chapter I have ever written. I did a few minor changes to this story, but it worked. I can't tell you what the chapter is about, cause it's a couple chapters away, well more than a couple chapters.

This is a break from all the smut, so that means that there will be no smut here. I just wanted to add in a schedule that Sheldon would follow, cause he isn't Sheldon without a schedule. I also wanted to show you guys what Penny actually makes him do, and what Sheldon actually does. This is a fluffy chapter, and I took a while to write because I had to think of Penny's rules.

This is actually one of my favorite chapters; I really liked cutting the smut scenes. I felt like I was one of those channel heads that cut the sex scenes from shows and movies. Though do take note, the smut is what really carries this story.

For a person who didn't like following the rules, she sure did enjoy making rules.

A month ago, Wyatt had assigned Sheldon to manage the soon to be launched electronics department. That made Sheldon even busier than he had ever been, much to the dismay of a certain blonde. Whenever she had tried to get him to do something for her, he would either be Wyatt or the other department heads talking about what they could do to get the electronics department at the top of the field.

At first, Penny had been mad that he wasn't meeting with her; then she realized that Sheldon had been working night and day trying to come up with new products. She decided that since he had been such an obedient dog, she would lay down rules that would at least get him a bit relaxed. Well that was what she wanted.

Sheldon was close to banging his head on his table when his phone notified him about an e-mail. Sighing, he opened it. It was from Penny.

Follow these rules, or else.

Rule #1: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays will be Sheldon's rest days. He will be free from doing any favors such as; laundry, cleaning, cooking, doing her paperwork, etc. But he has to at least check up on her once.

Rule #2: Penny is obligated to buy Sheldon lunch every Wednesdays, as it is the master's responsibility to feed the dog. Sheldon does not get a say on what they eat, or where, but will enjoy the meal with a smile and thank Penny. If Penny is unavailable at lunch time, it will be moved to dinner. Sheldon cannot reject the offer.

Rule #3: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are Penny days. Sheldon is obligated to have a fun night with Penny, and stay over at her apartment. On Saturdays, Penny will make breakfast and on Sundays, Sheldon will make breakfast. They will then spend another fun day together where Penny will choose the activities.

Rule #4: Sheldon will stop being 'half-hearted' during sex. And will stop being annoying.

Rule #5: Sheldon will in no way, have a say in this. If any rules are broken, Sheldon will have to watch a 2 day marathon of Jersey Shore. Only Penny can break, and change the rules.

You're on a break for now. This is effective starting Monday.

Sheldon raised his eyebrow in confusion, rules? What rules? He took the telephone and dialed Penny's office number.

"Hello this is the clothing department, how may I help you?"

"Hello this is Sheldon Cooper, please redirect me to the office of the clothing department head."

"Oh Mr. Cooper, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize that it was you."

"Yes, you are forgiven; now please connect me to her office. There is something I must talk to her about."

"Very well sir, I'm connecting you right now." Sheldon leaned back against his chair, he was exhausted, and he really didn't want to deal with this. He had been talking with other company heads all day, trying to get them to have a joint product. It wasn't easy, but he got a few of the deals for the electronics department.

Penny answered the phone on the third ring; he must have read the e-mail.

"Well hey there Sheldon." She greeted, smiling against the phone.

"Penny, what was the e-mail you sent me? Is this some sort of agreement?"

"Nope, an agreement is where two parties agree to something. I'm not asking you if you're okay with it, I'm telling you that you have to follow it. And if I say that it's a rule, it's a rule. It's effective immediately, bye bye."

"Wait-" She hung up and smiled proudly. This would be fun.

MONDAY

Sheldon let out a sigh of relief. He had finally closed the deal with Microsoft to get Windows 8 as the operating system of the company's cell phone line, WXG Picobus. It was a multi-million dollar deal, but he got it. The research department, led by Raj, had been creating an operating system for their electronics line, but they still could not get it to work. Leonard then asked him if he could get Microsoft to tie in with the first phones they release until their system was good enough.

He immediately went to the electronics department to tell Leonard about the news.

"Oh my god, Sheldon, that's… that's amazing!" Sheldon nodded, he knew that he was amazing. "It was not an easy deal to make, but it had worked. I also got them to sign a deal with for them to allow any of our products to have Windows 8."

Leonard ran a hand through his hair, a wide smile on his face. "I really am at a loss for words Sheldon. When they said that you were the best, you really are the best!"

"Yes, I am very aware of that. Will you be going to their head office to test out the new phone?"

The short man nodded his head, "Maybe after we finish the final product, we don't want to look like fools there, do we?"

"Yes, it's mandatory that our electronics line be one of the best. I will not allow any product of ours to fall under perfection." He peeked at his phone, no new messages. "It's my job to do so."

Leonard had notice that Sheldon was waiting for something. He could tell by the look on his face. "Hey, Sheldon, is there something you have to do? You seem… anxious."

"No, I just thought that I had a new message." He shook his head, he had forgotten about the 'rules.'

"Oh yeah, that happens to me all the time!" Leonard told him, "Sometimes I think that my phone has a message but it doesn't. It's pretty frustrating."

Leonard told him that they would bring the Picobus once it had the final test run. Sheldon would have to go with them, it was Sheldon's job to tell the representatives about it since he was the one who made the deal with them. He made his way back to his office, taking his phone out. He had an eidetic memory and always followed the rules.

"Hello Penny, its Sheldon Cooper."

"Sheldon, I have your number saved on my phone."

"Yes but it is the polite way of calling someone. What if someone answered your ph-"

"Shush. I see you're following my rules, that's great. So did you call me for something?"

"Uh, how have you been?"

"I'm great. How about you?"

TUESDAY

Sheldon entered the main conference hall with a grumble. He had been up all night running through the phone's operating system and seeing what worked and what didn't. He would then have to design additional features then pitch it to Wyatt. Wyatt didn't want others to handle the electronics department. It was their biggest risk with all the competitors out there, and he needed it to be in good hands. He knew that Sheldon would do a good job, and he did.

He yawned as he settled in his seat, he was really tired.

"Mr. Cooper, nice of you to join us," Wyatt greeted with a smile, "Are you ready for your presentation?"

"Yes I am sir." He slowly stood back up, tiredly, and walked in front of the long table. He had just sat down, and now he was standing again. "I have closed the deal with Microsoft, they have agreed to back up our devices with their operating system until we are able to launch ours."

Sheldon looked down the table; all of the department heads were there. There was Leonard, the electronics department head, Raj from the research department, Howard, the development department's main engineer, and of course, Penny who was smiling up at him.

It had actually been a month since they actually talked in person. Whenever she tried to talk to him he would either be at a meeting or working intensively, which she surprisingly respected. He had thought that she would demand for his attention and threaten him whenever he couldn't do what she wanted. He would always pass by her while scurrying to another meeting, and she would always greet him. Their longest conversation was yesterday, when he had asked her how she was. It was part of the rules, and he wasn't a rule breaker.

"Not only is it not a onetime offer, but they are also willing to co-program the system if we would ever need help. Though, if we do grab that offer, we will be considered as a subdivision of Microsoft."

"So they'll help us create our operating system, as long as we add a little label that says we're a team from them?" Howard asked. Sheldon nodded in response, placing the signed document on the table. "That's exactly what they want. It appears as though we have gotten their interest, and they saw the potential of the phones. They don't want to miss out on the features we have created."

Howard blinked as he read the papers. "This is amazing! I can't believe you got that to happen!"

Wyatt chuckled; he knew that Sheldon could do it. "Sheldon you never fail to impress me." He turned back to the table, "Penny, I believe there is something about your new line of clothing?"

Sheldon smiled as he slowly made his way back to his seat. Penny had passed him by as she made her way to the front of the room. "So, it's summer time! And you know what that means," she motioned for Henry to turn the projector on, "A summer line!"

Sheldon slowly took out the folded piece of paper that Penny had handed him in their short encounter.

You did great. Remind me to give you a bone – Master.

WEDNESDAY

Sheldon enjoyed the silence of the elevator. With his office being on the 20th floor the ride down to the cafeteria which was on the 4th floor, was quite a long one. Luckily, this was a mid-month deadline day, which meant that everyone had to be busy working before 5 PM. At the end of every month, Sheldon had to compile all the status reports and re-write them into one big report. Every mid-month was the department head's first part status report deadlines, then they would have to pass another one before Sheldon presents the company status report to Wyatt.

If reports didn't come by 5, Wyatt would throw an angry fit, and no one wanted to see that. With Sheldon being assigned to manage the electronics department, he also had to write a mid-month report. It was a good thing that he had finished the overall reports the night before, or else he would still be locked up in his office. The cafeteria would probably be empty with everyone procrastinating.

The elevator stopped on the 4th floor, it was time for his lunch. As the elevator doors opened, he was met by a familiar face.

"Did you forget what Wednesdays are about?"

Sheldon held a hand to chest; he almost had a heart attack. "You scared me!"

Penny grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back into the elevator, pressing the ground button. She turned to him, "Did you forget what the consequences of not following the rules are? Do you want to watch Jersey Shore?"

"Oh god no," he cringed, recalling one of the episodes he had found Penny watching. It was the short big busted girl and the other girl getting arrested. He swore that he had lost a few IQ points by just watching that show. "I feel as if I become stupid whenever I see you watching that show."

"I had a feeling that you would forget about it."

"Shouldn't you be in your office, working on your status reports?" He asked; concern in his voice.

"I already did it." Sheldon raised his eyebrow to her, "What you don't believe me? I finished it last night, it's with my secretary. You can even ask her."

Sheldon wasn't in the mood to argue so he let it go. The elevator door opened, and Penny dragged him across the company lobby, where even the receptionists were busy working. Sheldon was really impressed at the workers there; they were really hard workers.

"Shouldn't you be a bit more, low profile?" Penny shook her head as she pushed the glass doors open. Sheldon followed her to the outdoor parking lot, which was reserved for department heads. He had one as well, but he didn't drive. His apartment was a few blocks near the building, and he could walk if he wanted to. But he didn't want to, so he rode the company's shuttle. The forty minute walk in the night was very unsafe.

"No one cares Sheldon, everyone is busy as hell." Penny's car was a yellow Mercedes Benz SLK convertible. It was like the car Junior had always wanted to buy, except it was a much newer model. She opened the door, "Hop in."

"Oh no, I can't do that. My feet will hit the roof of your car, and I have no plans on paying for it."

The blonde chuckled, "I mean get inside, silly. Why would I ask you to jump inside?"

Sheldon slid into the passenger's seat, buckling the seatbelt. "You said hop in."

Penny glared at him as she drove the car out of the parking lot. "So where are we going?" Sheldon asked, checking his e-mail on his phone. "Well, it's a Wednesday, and that means that I'm going to buy you lunch."

"Why don't we just eat at the cafeteria?" He curiously asked. He liked the food served at the cafeteria, they were clean and delicious. Sheldon had also befriended the cafeteria staff and the head chef, Maria. Maria always gave him extra servings of his food whenever he had his lunch. She was a nice person, like a Latina version of Meemaw.

The blonde scoffed, "I don't eat at the cafeteria. Henry always gets Maria to cook me something else."

"Then why didn't you just get her to cook you something else?"

"Henry was busy with my dad, and Maria was busy doing a kitchen check." She turned to him, "I told you, everyone is busy as hell."

He nodded, licking his lips. "Alright. Where are we heading to?"

"I remember Henry telling me something about you asking the chef to make spaghetti with cut up hot dogs." From the corner of her eye, she saw Sheldon smiling happily. "So I decided to bring you to one of my favorite Italian restaurants."

THURSDAY

Sheldon watched as Leonard showed the final features of the phone. He and the other company heads were in the presentation room, it was where products were showed off. They would be flying to Washington to meet the Microsoft heads in one week, and they had to prepare the phone. They aimed for a phone that no one had ever done before, one that was not expensive but close to being indestructible. They had to be better than the other leading brands.

Leonard took the phone and dropped it to the floor, then picked it up and switched it on. "It can drop from more than 6 ft and still work, it's also scratch proof." Raj handed him a bowl filled with water. "It will also be," he dropped the phone in the bowl, watching as the other department heads gasped, "waterproof." He dipped his hand in the water then started typing on the phone.

"We're basically trying to make the Chuck Norris of phones." Howard remarked causing the department heads to laugh. He took the phone out of the bowl and scratching a nail on the screen, "See? It's scratch proof. But there will be more tests once we get the software in."

"The battery will last up to 35 hours, longer if wireless connections are switched off. If they aren't, the phone lasts up to 27 hours. Music can last up to almost 48 hours, and you can watch videos 12 hours straight."

Howard showed pictures of their test run, with a timeline showing the battery consumption of the phone. "The built in memory is 16 GB, and it can range up to 64 GB."

"It also has a 10 megapixel camera and it's going to be HD." Leonard handed the phone to Penny, who immediately grabbed it. "So you're saying that the pictures are gonna be so clear and high quality that I can zoom it and it won't pixelate?" Sheldon nodded, it was one of the main features of their phone, the ability to zoom endlessly without pixelation.

Howard switched the slide to a picture that they took using the phone. "You can zoom just enough to see the pores of the person you took a picture of, though it only works if it's a close up. But we promise that there will be no pixels."

"We're still trying to work on motion capture," Leonard started, showing another example of the pictures the phone took, "but that can wait."

Penny stared at the phone, "So this works right? What if I wanted to take a picture right now… how will I transfer it to my phone?"

Howard smiled, "That's a great question, it has Bluetooth, and it's already installed. There's a button on the menu that indicates the Bluetooth, unlike other phones, it can connect to all brands. You can try it now."

"But isn't it a bit dark to take a picture?"

Leonard showed another picture the phone took. It was a picture of a dog in a dark room, even with the room being pitch black; you could still see the dog clearly. "We call it Night sensors; you can still take pictures in the dark. It could also take pictures of ghosts if you'd like."

Raj handed them a tray full of Picobus prototypes, he didn't want to talk, so he volunteered to be their helper. "You may each take one phone and test it out. You can also ask questions."

Penny grabbed Sheldon's arm and pulled him to the back of the room while the others tested the phones.

"Penny, what are you doing?"

Penny brought the phone over their heads, "I wanted to take a picture. Smile!"

FRIDAY

Sheldon left the electronics department with a smile. The Picobus was set to be brought to Microsoft with a few minor adjustments. He felt relieved; the first product out of hundreds had finally been finished. Once they got the programming for the phone, they would move on to other devices like computers, game consoles, tablets and new phones. His work on the Picobus wasn't over though; he still had to overlook the marketing strategy and manage the next line of cell phones.

It had been a tiring day, but it was alright. He had accomplished a lot in a month's time and it was time for a relaxing catch-up marathon of Doctor Who. Sheldon greeted the floor secretary and made his way to his office. With a sigh he turned the lights on.

"Are you planning on going home to your apartment?"

Sheldon jumped at Penny's voice. She was sitting in his chair, her feet on his table. "Good lord, why must you always frighten me?" He eyed her, "And remove your feet from my table. Heaven knows what germ infested area those have been on."

Penny removed her feet off the table with a frustrated sigh. "For your information, the only place my feet have been is here in the building. And my car, and the Manor's lobby, and my suite, and they are all clean!"

He grabbed his messenger bag, placing his important documents and laptop inside. "Refrain from using the word 'and' all the time." Sheldon switched the lights off, "Are you staying in here, or what?" Penny grumbled, slowly following him out.

"Good evening Mr. Cooper," his secretary greeted, "I assume that you are heading home?"

Sheldon smiled at her, "Why yes. It has been quite a tiring month with the Picobus slowly nearing it's big debut. I believe that I am deserving of a relaxing Dr. Who catch up marathon while I eat cereal. I'm planning on regaining the days I've lost."

Penny's eyebrow shot up as she appeared from behind Sheldon. "Oh, Ice Pri- I mean Miss Penny, I did not know that you were on this floor, my apologies."

The blonde crossed her arms, glaring at the young secretary. "Yes, I've been here for quite a while now. You must have been on a break when I arrived."

"Once again, my apologies. Have a nice day."

Sheldon curtly nodded while Penny's glare intensified. Once the elevator doors had closed, Penny turned to Sheldon, causing Sheldon to back up a bit. "Although security footage is silent, they would still see you attacking me if you're planning on doing something."

"I'm not," she spat, "Your secretary is an idiot. I was there almost an hour ago and she didn't even notice me!"

"Yes well, she must have been doing other things." Sheldon eyed the floor indicator, 15. It was a long way to go. "What exactly is your business in my office?"

"You know, I've heard that line from you about a hundred times now," she said, shaking her head. "Did you forget about the rules Sheldon?"

"No, I did not."

"Then what was that about watching Doctor Who in your apartment? You're supposed to stay over at my place every weekend, remember?"

Sheldon blinked, he was so tired that he had forgotten about Penny's rules. Forcing his eye to stop twitching, he faced her, "I doubt that Alex would like to hear that I would be spending my night at your place. It would be quite… scandalous. But I would like to retire in my own apartment."

"So Alex is her name…" Penny trailed off, her glare glued on to her face. Sheldon looked up; they had finally reached the ground floor. "Alright let's go. I'm tired, and in need of a good nights sleep."

She grabbed his arm. "Where do you think you're going? You're supposed to stay with me tonight until Sunday. We just talked about this a few seconds ago."

He stared down at her; he really didn't want to go with her. For the past month, Sheldon had barely stayed at his apartment. He would get home at 9; eat his take out, take a bath, then sleep. Then he would wake up early, eat, take a bath, then go to work then he would repeat the cycle again. This was the first time that he had gone home early; he had missed out on all of the new Doctor Who episodes, and now Penny wanted him to stay at her apartment, and he was too tired to deal with her.

"Is this a staring contest or something? Cause if you're going to kiss me, there are people in the lobby."

Sheldon stepped back sending a glare at her smirking face. "I need to get clothes; I can't stay over somewhere else without clean clothes."

"Don't worry, I'll get that fixed. Now let's go, I bet you're hungry."

Penny grabbed his hand, dragging him out to the parking lot. "I really can't wear clothes that are not in rotation. Any clothes you will give me are out of rotation."

She turned to him, stopping the car. "Sheldon, you will wear the clothes I will give you okay?" He nodded obediently, "You don't even have a sense of fashion. If you weren't the beautiful minded genius, no one would take you seriously with those clothes of yours."

"Excuse me; I have a great sense of fashion. Your father always says so." He scoffed. "Yeah well, my dad loves everything checkered or plaid. That's the reason why he isn't the head of the clothing department."

Penny walked through the lobby dragging Sheldon with her. "Must you really drag me, I can walk on my own."

They stepped into the elevator, "That's the problem; you can walk on your own." Sheldon stared at her as she placed her key card into the slot, "Dogs need a leash; unfortunately I think cops would arrest me if I placed a leash on you. I know that you don't want to be here, but I'm doing this for you."

"For me?" he asked; his eyebrows high on his forehead. "How exactly is this for me?"

She ran a hand through her hair, she hated telling the truth. "Look, I noticed that you were a bit stressed with work, and I decided to make those rules so I could lessen your problems."

"How exactly does this lessen my problems?"

"Don't you ever feel lonely, Sheldon?"

Sheldon tilted his head, unsure of his answer. "I enjoy silence."

The blonde let out a sigh of frustration. The one time she decided to be open to him, he decides to return to his oblivious self. "I mean don't you ever get sick of eating alone, sleeping alone, living alone? Don't you want to have company?"

"No."

"You're impossible."

"I'm improbable, I exist, Penny."

"I just thought that I could do something for you once in a while," she softly said. "You're really doing a lot for our company, and I appreciate that. I just want you to relax."

"I'd be a little more relaxed if you didn't blackmail me." He muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him. "Nothing, it was nothing. Now what were you saying?" Penny grabbed his hand as the elevator door opened, pulling him to her apartment door. "Forget about it, you wouldn't understand."

Sheldon followed her inside, placing his messenger bag on the sofa. "Well that's great. I was bemused by whatever you were trying to say, I don't understand women." He lied down on the couch and closed his eyes; it was a good thing that it was a sectional sofa or else his feet would have stuck out. He moaned as his back rested on the material, it felt good to sleep.

Penny came back in a silk robe, it was Penny day. She stopped as she saw the sight of him peacefully sleeping on the sofa. Grabbing a blanket, she draped it over him; she didn't want him to get cold. "You're lucky that you're my favorite dog." She gently kissed his forehead and went to her room.

That night, Sheldon dreamed about him as a knight that saved a beautiful blonde princess.

SATURDAY

Sheldon woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. He yawned as he rubbed his eyes, scanning the room. Penny was at the kitchen dancing to some loud heinous song.

"You should tone down the music, I can bet that even the people in the lobby can hear it." He said as he walked towards the kitchen. "Good morning Sheldon," she greeted, a smile on her face, "Wanna dance with me?"

He took a seat on of the stools, "No thank you. Do you have cereal?"

"No, but look- I'm cooking bacon and pancakes for ya'"

"But I always eat cereal on Saturdays, while watching Doctor Who. I'm not eating anything that isn't on my schedule."

Penny stopped cooking and placed a hand on her hip. "So you're saying that unless I give you cereal, you're not eating?" He nodded. Penny grabbed the spatula and pointed it to him, "Now you listen closely to me, this is the first time I have ever cooked for someone who isn't me. You're going to eat it, and you're going to love it."

Sheldon blinked while licking his lips. "Alright, you are my master, and I shall follow your rules."

Penny's smiled returned as she placed their breakfast on their plates. "Now that's what I wanted to hear," she pushed the plate towards him, "bon appétit!"

Sheldon skeptically stared at the plate, it looked like normal food, but he had a feeling that Penny had done something wrong. "Penny, didn't you just say that this is the first time you've ever cooked?" The blonde looked up, placing the fork down. "Yes, it's the first time I've ever cooked for someone who isn't me."

He stared at the plate before staring back at her. "Eat it, I know what it tastes like. Don't make me feed you." Sheldon quickly took a bite of the pancakes and smiled, it was surprisingly good. "See, I told you it's okay. That's what I feed myself when the staff here doesn't serve me breakfast."

Half an hour later, they had finished eating their breakfast in silence. Sheldon finished the dishes and walked back to the living room, where Penny had been flipping through a magazine. "Do you need me to do your laundry… fix your files… or something slightly connected to that?"

She turned her head to him, "Nope."

"Well that's wonderful," he clapped his hands together, "I need to take a bath… I'm gonna go home and get some clothes. I'll probably shower there."

She grabbed a bag Henry had delivered her and threw it at him. "That's a week's worth of clothes. Go take a bath, you smell horrible." Sheldon frowned as Penny giggled. He wasn't smell, he still smelled like his normal self, except with a bit of dirt. He then made his way to the bathroom and took his long awaited bath.

They spent the day talking about work and how the company was doing. Sheldon had told her about the products he and the others would be designing while Penny told him about the new line of clothing they were going to be launching. They ate lunch while watching Lord of The Rings on HBO, then Sheldon went over the clothing department's status report. After reading the reports, Penny told him that they were going to eat dinner at the hotel's restaurant. All of the staff knew who Penny was, but they were curious to who Sheldon was. But they really didn't care, they were used to seeing Penny with other men.

Sheldon immediately went to the couch once they arrived back in the suite. Their dinner was amazing, and he thought that the dessert bar was the best thing he had ever seen. Penny sat beside him, like she did hours ago. "I will definitely come back to that buffet. The yogurt machine was amazing!"

"I got pretty tired of it, I have been living here for years now." She said before yawning.

He grabbed the blanket and prepared the couch, he was tired. "Well I'm sleep, goodnight," he rested his head on a pillow, "once again, thank you for the meal, it was amazing."

The blonde turned to him, smirking. "Who said that we were sleeping?"

SUNDAY

Sheldon woke up in a hurry; he had forgotten to check his e-mail. It was 3 AM; he quickly threw a robe on him and tiptoed into the living room. Penny had added a new rule into the rule book.

Rule #6: Sheldon has to sleep in Penny's bed, and will stay there until she wakes up. No exceptions.

He grabbed his messenger and took his laptop out, switching it on. A day without checking his e-mail could cause him his life. There could have been a sudden deadline or a new document that he had to overlook. Maybe a rival company wanted to meet him that day to negotiate, he could never really tell. Even if it was his off days, he still had work to do.

There were a couple of e-mails from Wyatt and other company heads. He quickly replied to them and apologized for the delayed reply. Scrolling down, he saw an e-mail from Leonard.

"Sheldon, you have to fill this out or else the chief will get mad at you. It's for the human resources department."

Sheldon clicked on the link attached, it looked like a questionnaire. "Alright, this seems easy."

Question #1: What is your profession?

"The human resources director should already know what my position is," he stared at the screen, then started typing. "She must be stupid. Executive vice president at Penbark WG."

Question #2: What do you like to do when you're not working?

"Playing games or researching, or sometimes correcting other people's mistakes."

Question #3: How many friends do you have?

Sheldon stopped typing and took his phone out, dialing a number.

"Hello?"

"Leonard, its Sheldon Cooper, vice president."

"Sheldon? Why are you calling, its 3 AM. And I'm going to see you at work tomorrow."

Sheldon glanced back at the screen, "I have a question to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Are you, Howard and Raj considered as my friends?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you, that is all." He hung up then turned to his computer. "Three," he stopped typing to think for a moment, was Penny considered as his friend? "What a tough question. Let's make it four to keep it even."

Question #4: What is your ideal vacation? Something adventurous like a trip to the jungle, or a peaceful day at home?

"I don't like vacations… but I guess they need reference, so I'll go with watching Star Trek movies."

Sheldon heard footsteps slowly approaching him. "Sheldon what the hell are you doing? It's like, the middle of the night."

He turned to her, "Its 3 AM, and that is in no way the middle of the night." He turned back to his laptop as she took a seat beside him. "I'm filling out some sort of application for the human resources department. It's quite interesting."

"Deal with it later, Pam will understand. Go back to bed." Penny groaned, resting her head on the back of the sofa. She was still sleepy.

"I will after I finish this, I can't ignore work, you know that." He said as he continued typing. Penny peered at the screen and read the next question.

Question #15: On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being always initiated by him/her and 5 being initiated by you, how do you prefer you sexual encounters?

"One." Sheldon said as he typed. Penny narrowed her eyes, she knew what this was- it was one of those dating sites registrations! She roughly grabbed his laptop and threw it across the room, smiling as it hit the wall.

"Penny! Why did you do that? My laptop is broken, and my files!" Sheldon shrieked as he ran over to his broken laptop. The screen was detached from the keyboard and had a huge crack on it. "You idiot, it's not one of those thingies that Pam makes as fill out, it's a registration crap for some dating site! I'll just buy you another one."

Sheldon stared at his laptop in horror, "No it is not, Leonard told me it was for work! It's not the laptop that I need, it's the files!"

Penny let out a sigh, "It isn't. You have to listen to me, cause I know," she stood up, slowly walking towards her room. "Oh, and I'm a big ol' five, and if you don't march back into the room, I will use it against you."

Sheldon dropped his laptop and hurriedly ran into the room. He could ask Howard to recover his files once he gets back to work.

Ah, a chapter without smut. If you read it again and again, you'd see it as a long fluffy chapter. Aren't they like an odd married couple? Yeah, that's what I thought too. Can you tell what's happening to Penny? Cause I dropped hints everywhere, Penny's the one who carries the chapter to the fluff level. (wink) The phone, Picobus, is somewhat similar to the Sony Xperia Go. It's also waterproof, and pretty much indestructible. No it is not my phone, my phone is a blackberry that I strongly hate. I also hate Apple but eh, I'm a Sony fan.

Those rules will not be applied most of the time, especially since Penny doesn't like to play by the rules. She will also add more rules as time flies. It's a little look inside what they actually do in the company. The electronics department is what Sheldon will be focusing on, other than Penny of course, throughout the whole story. Also, I used a couple of references from the show… I wonder if you can see it?

If you were expecting smut, I apologize, but there will be smut in the next chapter and maybe the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next after that. But I will always insert a fluff or no-smut chapter every now and then.

I'll update The Alternate Roommate Paradox soon.
