Daisy had just gotten back to the apartment building with Penny after their shift was over at 2:30. She had worn her trench coat when she got done with her shift, walking around the parking lot slowly to get to the car as Penny could only laugh hysterically.
Daisy had gotten back to her apartment and decided to take a shower and change before she grabbed a little snack of apples while she watched some TV while she munched on her snacks before she soon felt relaxed and ready to see Stuart as she got her trench coat on and slipped on her Doctor Who movie t-shirt and she grabbed her sonic screwdriver as she stuck it in her purse before she was out the door and started towards the comic book store on foot.
Meanwhile...
Stuart happily hummed as he cleaned the store as he kept his eye on the clock. Sighing heavily as it slowly ticked by.
It was only 3 in the afternoon. He wasn't sure if Daisy was coming by the store to hang out or not, but he looked around at the store and wondered if she would be coming in with her Doctor Who regalia and wondered how the guys in the comic book store would react to it. He groaned heavily, wanting to bash his head in at how slow the clock was moving.
"Hey Stuart, how are things going with Daisy?" Barry Kripke, who had walked in a while ago had asked as he paid for his comic books. "Things are going wonderful, thank you." Stuart said. "That's great, Stuart. You're very lucky to have her." Barry said as he picked up his comics. "Thank you." Stuart said. Barry nodded as he walked out, Stuart had smiled triumphantly. Stuart: One Kripke: ZEEEERRROOOOOOOOOO!, Stuart thought happily before doing a quick victory dance.
Daisy walked in as he was doing his victory dance. "Nice moves." she said as she giggled. "Oh, um...heheh." He said with a blushed face. "It's fine, sweetie." she said. "So, do you think I'm ready to see the movie tonight?" she asked as she stepped back a little and smiled at him. "I am very ready." he said. "Unfortunately we have to wait a few more hours." she said. "Well, shall we do anything for the time being?" he asked. "Um, I don't know. Other than running the store is there anything you would want to do?" she asked. "Well, it is about closing time, what say we order some pizza and eat it here before the movie?" he asked. "Oh that sounds great. How about the classic pepperoni pizza since you brought cheese to my place last time?" she asked. "Or how about triple pepperoni?" he asked. "There's a place that does that?!" she asked in disbelief. "Same place. Triple pepperoni extra cheesy." he teased. "Oh my god, get the place on the phone now before my stomach starts growling." she said just before a small rumble came from her stomach and she laughed. "Too late." she said.
Stuart laughed before dialing. "Yes, that's right. One large triple pepperoni pizza and one oreo crumble lava cake." he said. "You're killing me, Stuart Bloom." Daisy giggled while she took over the counter and got the guys checked out and out of the comic book store as she went to the front of the shop and went to turn the sign to closed when she noticed Sheldon and the guys nearing the store. "Um, Stuart, Sheldon and friends are like steps away from here." she said as she looked back at him once Stuart had hung up. "Um...damn." he said. "Do you think we should close up, lock the doors and turn out the lights as fast as possible and just hide behind the counter?" she asked. "GO!" He said, locking the doors and hitting the lights. "Ok just long enough." he said.
Daisy quickly turned the sign to closed as she rushed over, hitting her knee against the counter. "Ow!" she giggled as she crawled behind the counter and rubbed her knee before she smiled at Stuart. "Hi." she whispered, trying not to giggle. "Hi. Okay, I think they are gone." he said. Daisy looked up to peek a little and she quickly ducked back down. "Nope not yet." she said. "They're just walking up actually."
Suddenly, they could hear Sheldon and the guys from outside. "Looks like Stuart's closed..." Howard said slowly and Daisy knew that Sheldon was giving one of them a dirty look, the first one to say something would be the teller of who was the one to blame tonight. "I can't help my bladder, Sheldon." Raj said. "Well, I suggest you learn to control it, sir. Tonight is Comic Book Night and now it's soiled. I told you thusly I told you all thusly." Sheldon said.
Just when Stuart and Daisy were about to get up, they heard knocking on the door. "Stuart." they heard Sheldon. "Stuart." they heard him knock again. "Stuart." and one last time.
Daisy looked at Stuart in the dark, wondering if they were going to play it off or if he would cave in. She was sincerely hoping guilt wouldn't consume him. "Damn it, how can I turn him away? He's my best customer." Stuart said. "Go ahead, sweetie. Just tell him it was an electric outage so you wanted to lock up and close up a little early because you didn't think anybody would be coming by." she said.
Stuart quickly went to the door. "I'm sorry guys, but I'm having an electrical problem. I had to close down for the day." he said. "But it's comic book night." Sheldon said. "Sheldon, we'll just come back tomorrow before we go and eat at the Cheesecake Factory ok?" Leonard asked and Sheldon sighed. "Alright." he said as Sheldon and the guys turned and walked back to the apartment building.
Daisy quickly got up from behind the counter and smiled. "Great job, sweetie. I know it's wrong to lie but sometimes it can't be helped." she giggled. "I really feel bad now. I hate the look Sheldon gets when he is upset or disappointed." Stuart said. "You can turn the electr-or lights on and let him browse for a little bit as long as he doesn't mind us eating in front of him." she said. "I don't mind, I promise."
He smiled and kissed her cheek. "HEY SHELDON!" he called out. Daisy smiled as she blushed and felt little shivers go through her as she smiled at him.
Sheldon turned around and he could see the lights back on in the comic book store. "OH GOODIE!" Daisy clearly heard Sheldon all but rejoice as she looked confused before she shrugged it off as she looked over to see the guys walking back over while Sheldon was running like a little kid on Christmas as Stuart stepped out of the way and Sheldon bolted in as he started looking where he usually started, not seeming to have noticed Daisy. The guys then filed in just before the pizza arrived as Stuart paid for the food and brought it in with Daisy's help. "Where do you want to put this?" she asked. "Just put it on the counter." he said. "Ok." Daisy said as she sat the lava cake down and Stuart walked over as he set the pizza down and she smiled at him as she kissed his cheek.
He smiled. "How's the food?" he asked. "Mmmm hot but sooo good." she said as she munched on her pizza. "I bet it is." He smiled as he ate the pizza. It didn't take Sheldon and the guys very long before they had found something for each of them and Stuart was able to check them out over the pizza box that was on the counter. "Ok, now we have just enough time to get ready to line up for the Doctor Who movie." Sheldon said as they walked out. Daisy looked over at Stuart when the door closed. "Ummm...should I be concerned?" she asked. "Why should we? Are you afraid that they will know we are interested in each other?" Stuart asked. "No, not at all. I'm just concerned that Sheldon might do what he usually does, you know? With the spot, and the accuracy, and pointing out every little thing that they may have gotten wrong, you know the usual Sheldon stuff." she said. "Then we will sit elsewhere." he said. "Great." she smiled as she kissed his cheek. "Ok, well I'm stuffed." she said as she looked at the empty pizza box. She had Stuart had been able to eat four pieces each.
"Good we can go to the movie now." he said. "Great. Let's get going." Daisy said as she slipped her trench coat back on that she had taken off and put it safely behind the counter before she and Stuart walked out of the comic book store after throwing out the boxes before they started towards the movie theater, where Sheldon and the guys were in the front and Stuart and Daisy had gotten at least tenth in line. "Are you excited?" He asked, holding her hand as they stood there. "Of course I'm excited." she said with a smile. "Good spots, huh?" he asked. "Very good spots. Thanks for taking me tonight, Stuart." she said as she held his hand, feeling so special being there with Stuart and feeling warm shivers go through her as she stood with him, feeling his larger hand in her smaller one. That thought alone put not-so-clean thoughts in her head as she bit her lip subtly. "Any time, my dear Doctor." He said with a huge smile as the line started to move.
Daisy smiled brightly as she rested her head on his shoulder when they got a little closer as they were now letting everyone in and Stuart and Daisy soon walked in as they went through the lobby of the theater before finally getting in as Stuart smiled as they walked along the aisle. "Hmm...how about there?" Daisy asked, pointing to the middle row. "Looks good." he said with a smile as they walked over and sat down.
Daisy and Stuart were sitting together as she smiled, holding his hand as the two talked quietly. "So, the second Doctor is the one that will have the very first sonic screwdriver in the entire series, so you'll be able to see how even the sonic screwdriver has gone from being like the Second Doctor's to the ones that 10 and 11 use." he said, comparing the Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver that he had bought for her to his own sonic screwdriver that belonged to the Eleventh Doctor. Daisy smiled. "I can't wait to see the Second and Third Doctors journeys tonight, I'm sure we'll be able to stay up." she said. "Without a doubt we will. After the excitement of this movie and then the adventures of 2 and 3, we'll probably get finished watching it all by tomorrow afternoon." Stuart said as he and Daisy shared a laugh. Daisy smiled as she kissed his cheek. "It's gonna be a really good night." Daisy said as she rested her head on Stuart's shoulder again as she smiled up at him. "I agree. It will be magical." Stuart said with a smile as they looked at the screen that was now showing little Doctor Who trivia.
"I'm getting thirsty, do you want to go and get a little something to drink, Stuart?" Daisy asked. "Oh, it's ok. I'll go get you a drink. What would you like?" he asked. "Oh, that's sweet of you. Um, how about just a pepsi?" she asked. "Sure thing." he said as he kissed her cheek before he got up and walked out to get their drinks.
Just as Daisy was reading through the first Doctor Who trivia question on the screen, she heard a weird noise. "Nnnna!"
Daisy looked around in confusion before she saw Sheldon switching from seat to seat as the guys stood off to the side of the theater, hiding their heads in shame as Sheldon made a loud and strange sound moving from seat to seat.
Daisy sighed as she looked down at her lap. "Oh boy." she said softly to herself before she heard a sound behind her. "Mmmma!"
Daisy literally jumped as she looked back at Sheldon. "Sheldon, what are you doing?" Daisy asked as she put a hand over her heart. "I am finding the acoustic sweet spot for movie viewing, Daisy, now if you'll excuse me." Sheldon said before he switched over to the row next to Daisy and Stuart as he made another sound and Daisy watched him in confusion and disbelief before he jumped up sat right next to Daisy. "Um, Sheld-" she started before he made the same noise he did before. "Mmmma!"
Daisy jumped a little again as she looked at Sheldon in confusion and a slight bit of fear.
He then switched and sat down where Stuart once was. "Nnnnna!" he said again as Daisy looked at him. "Oh, it seems you're in the acoustic sweet spot, Daisy." Sheldon said. "Thank you, Sheldon." she said. "Would you mind trading spots with me? Or just simply moving one seat down?" Sheldon asked as Stuart came back with their drinks. "Sheldon, I'm not moving. I got here first and I want to stay here." she said as the guys walked forward. "Sheldon, just sit right there or I'll force you out of here and you'll have to wait until the movie comes on TV next month." Leonard said as he and the guys all walked into the aisle and sat down after Stuart slowly sat down, not sure if he would be getting his seat back or not.
"Fine." Sheldon pouted. Daisy looked back at Stuart. "Do you want me to make him move?" she asked. "It's fine. I'm still next to you, so I'm happy." he said and Daisy smiled as she blushed. "Awww, Stuart, thank you." she said as she kissed his cheek. "Oh, here's your soda." Stuart said as he put her drink into the cup holder on the chair. "Thanks, I appreciate it. How much do I owe you for it?" she asked. "Are you kidding? I'm treating tonight." he said with a smile and Daisy kissed his cheek. "You definitely are. Thanks again, Stuart." she said. "It's no problem, Daisy." he said as he smiled at her before the two turned their attention back to the Doctor Who trivia. "Oh, do you remember the answer to that question?" Stuart asked. "Oh, I do. It was Vicki that was rescued from the planet Dido." Daisy said and Stuart smiled. "Good job, you're becoming more and more of a Whovian each day." he said. "I'm glad to be a Whovian." Daisy said before the movie started.
Daisy and Stuart turned their attention to the screen once again as they started watching the little production company logo with a sound that Daisy recognized from a number of her favorite movies as she soon felt Sheldon pushing against her as she looked at him as he was enjoying the ambiance of the sound as she looked at Sheldon. "Sheldon, please get off me." she said as nicely as she could. "I'm sorry, Daisy, but this is the acoustic sweet spot." Sheldon said before Leonard pulled Sheldon off of her. "I'm so sorry about that, Daisy." Leonard said and Daisy nodded. "It's ok, Leonard, thanks for reigning him in." she said before she turned to Stuart as he shook his head and shrugged as he wrapped an arm around her and she smiled at him as she snuggled up to him as they watched the movie together once it started.
"Are you excited?" Sheldon whispered as the opening credits started. "Very." Daisy whispered to him before she looked over at Stuart. His eyes were glued to the screen as he put kernels of popcorn into his mouth. Daisy smiled as she sipped some of her drink as the entire theater was quiet while the movie played.
After the Movie...
Daisy went to get up, until she saw that no one else was moving from their seat as she shrugged and sat back down as she watched the entire end credits roll before everyone started getting up and leaving the theater. Daisy held Stuart's hand as they made their way out of the swarm of people who were exiting the theater.
"How did you like it?" Stuart asked finally. "You jumped a few times." he said. "I wasn't really expecting those Cybermen." she giggled. "I don't think anyone was." he laughed with her as they started out of the theater. "So, where is the 2nd and 3rd Doctor marathon going on tonight?" she asked. "Your place, you have a bigger TV." he said. "Ok. Well, let's get going." she said as she and Stuart started walking towards the apartment. "Anxious much?" he asked. "I'm sorry, but I'm kind of hooked on Doctor Who right now, you know the story." she giggled as they started past the comic book store. "Oh, um, do you need to get the DVDs or did you bring them with you?" she asked. "Already got them." Stuart said. "Oh good." Daisy said as she and Stuart started walking again as they soon got into the apartment building and Daisy led Stuart up to the third floor while Penny and Sam were outside Sam's door talking as Daisy walked past them with a smile as she led Stuart into her apartment.
"Hey you two." Stuart and Daisy said. "Hi." they both said to them. "How was the-" Penny started before Daisy closed the door behind she and Stuart. "Movie." Penny finished. "Well, someone's eager." she smiled knowingly. "Another Doctor Who marathon." Sam said. "Oh, they're still on that?" Penny said. "Yeah, they have to go through fifty years of TV. We probably won't even see her until tomorrow afternoon." Sam said. "Wow." Penny said. "Well, night sis. See you in the morning. See you in the afternoon, Daisy, you're lucky you've got tomorrow off so that you can watch all of that." Penny said through the door before she giggled to herself and walked back to her own apartment.
"Night Penny." Sam said before walking into her own. Daisy kicked off her shoes before she sat down with Stuart and cuddled up to him as she rested her head on his chest. "Alright, ready for more Doctor Who?" she asked. "I am." he said. "Great." she smiled as she pressed the play button and she and Stuart were once again lost in the adventures of Doctor Who.
