Leonard lay awake in his bed, eyes glued to the ceiling, as he try to compensate what he was feeling, with Penny laying in his bed, next to him. He heard her tiny snores, that instantly brought a smile to her face. He rolled over to see the time, 6:30am. He had to be at work in an hour, and really didn't even want to get out of bed. He quietly removed the dooner from his body, trying not to wake Penny. He grabbed his glasses from the bedside table, wrapped a robe around his body and headed out to the kitchen. He boiled the jug, made himself a cup of coffee, and sat and watched the remaining 30 minutes of the Doctor Who rerun.

'Where is Sheldon?' Leonard thought to himself, as he realised his annoying roommate wasn't in his room, nor the apartment.

"Leonard?" He heard Penny call from the hallway.

"Yes?" Leonard replied as Penny entered their living room, still half asleep.

"What time is it?" Penny asked, rubbing her eyes. She obviously wasn't an early riser.

"Twenty to seven."

"Why the hell are we awake?" Penny demanded, realising that this was the earliest she had ever woken up voluntarily.

"Well I don't know about you, but I start work in about 40 minutes. You can go back to sleep if you want to? Or the jugs boiled if you want a coffee. I'll make it for you and you can watch Doctor Who with me, to compensate those 8 hours I spent watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians yesterday." He laughed, standing up and grabbing a new mug.

"Okay, but why are you going to work on a Sunday? What do you even do?" Penny asked, as she made her way over to the couch.

"One, Sheldon and I are working on a new theory about the ability for Laser to be used to knock out incoming missiles. I got a huge grant for it."

"Can they?" Penny interrupted.

"God no." Leonard simply replied triggering a smile to raise on Penny's disheveled face. "I'm a experimental physicist, and Sheldon's a theoretical physicist. He thinks about things, and then I test them to see if they work or not."

"Wow, that sounds really hard."

"Sometimes."

"So what are we watching?" Penny asked, completely unsure of what was on the television in front of her.

"Doctor Who. You've never seen it before?" Leonard asked, surprised, although he then realised that people like Penny didn't spend their time watching television shows, well other than reality TV shows, like the one he was forced to endure yesterday.

"Doctor Who?"

"Yeah Doctor Who."

"So is the doctors name Who?"

"Yes" Leonard laughed, smiling at how beautiful she looked even when she didn't try.

"Okay, oh whats that big blue telephone box?"

"That, that is the Tardis." Leonard said, proudly.

"The hell is a Tardis."

"Tardis stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space" Leonard smiled. "It's a time machine."

"Like the one from Hot Tub Time Machine?" Penny blurted out, with a smile on her face. Leonard couldn't tell if she was being serious or not.

"No" Leonard laughed. "Never mind."

The two sat in silence, Leonard enjoying one of his favorite TV shows, whilst Penny sat there, still confused.

As the credits filled the screen, Leonard leaned forward and grabbed Penny's empty coffee cup, and his own.

"I'm sorry about bombarding your apartment yesterday, I just didn't have the physical strength to remove Chrissy and Howard from my apartment. I should probably go over and see how much of my furniture they defiled." Penny said, "they better not of touched my care bears!" Penny said, heartbroken.

As Penny went to open Leonard's door, Howard burst through the door. "Ola Nerdmigo." He exclaimed, as he walked in, wrapped in Penny's robe.

"Is.. is that my robe?"Penny asked, immediately disgusted.

"Oh yeah, I'll wash it and give it back."

"No, no thats okay. Just burn it."

"Okay, well we will have to talk about your loofa and Care bears."

"You didn't!" Penny exclaimed, as Howard walked back over to her apartment.

Penny's face went red, "do you know how expensive they are to get specially cleaned! I'm gonna kill him!" Penny yelled, as tears filled her eyes. "Leonard!" Penny cried, as she ran into his eyes, and hugged his stiff body. He brought his hands up her back, and tried to be as comforting as he could.

"It's okay, i'll steal his belt buckle collection, and you can have sex on those." Leonard laughed, trying to offer up a alternative offer.

"Wouldn't that be painful?" She asked.

"Probably, never mind. Scratch that."

Penny laughed as Leonard tried to find a solution, as she let go of his body and sat back on the couch.

"I have to go to work."

"Oh okay. Do you mind if I stay here until I can front Howard and knock out his front teeth?"

"Yeah, sure. Only one rule, don't sit in Sheldon's spot, don't go into Sheldon's room, don't touch Sheldon's stuff and don't use Sheldon's toothbrush, otherwise Sheldon will, and I quote "jump out the window…" Fyi, it's the orange one under the UV light."

"Sounds good, have a good day at work." Penny smiled.

Leonard walked out into the hallway, and walked straight across to her apartment.

"Howard, you really need to move this strange ass love fest elsewhere." Leonard tried to yell quietly so Penny didn't hear.

Howard opened the door, still wrapped in Penny's robe. "Please Leonard, some privacy."

"Look, this is the last day this is going to happen, but let me in so I can get Penny's care bears."

"I wouldn't touch those.." Howard laughed, as Leonard barged past him.

He pulled out a black plastic bag from his shoulder bag, and a glove and started picking up the teddy bears.

"Why are you doing this?" Howard asked, "it's not going to increase your chances of her liking you."

"Well I wouldn't have to do this if you didn't bang one of her friends on them. Where is Chrissy anyways?" Leonard asked.

"She's in the shower, I was going to join her, but we were starting to chaff."

"That's way to much information. See you later Howard, and clean Penny's apartment before you leave okay."

Leonard walked out, with the bag thrown over his shoulder, hoping that Penny didn't walk out as he was in the hallway. He jogged down the stairs, and threw the bag into the back of his car. Leonard drove across town, to a small speciality cleaners where he dropped of the bears and paid the man to clean them for Penny.

He went back to Caltech, and endured the rest of the day, with a harping Sheldon because he was 13 minutes late.

A/N Sorry for not updating, I've worked the last 6 days in a row, so I can only update when I get a chance. Let me know if you have any ideas on where this fan fiction should go, and what you'd like to see happen between Leonard and Penny. Hope you are enjoying so far. R&R xx
