A/N - We're finally meeting Penny's sister! Choosing a name for her was too easy, I just had to do it :) Ha. Enjoy!
If your pants hang off your hips, I'll gladly secure them with my staple gun.
"So, tell me about your new boyfriend." Bridget, Penny's older sister, grinned as she sat down on Penny's bed. "Though I guess two months isn't really new. I just haven't heard about him yet."
"Mom already told you all about him at dinner, and so did Dad." Penny rolled her eyes as she took off her robe and got under the covers, leaning against the headboard.
"Yeah, but I want to hear about him from you, silly." Bridget scrunched her nose at Penny.
"Alright." Penny grinned eagerly, sitting up a little more. "Well, like Mom and Dad said at dinner, he's in the year above me, and he's really smart."
"So, like, a nerd?" Bridget frowned.
"Yeah, a really cute nerd though. That's me and him in the photo." Penny gestured to the photograph on her bedside table.
"Ooh, he is cute. His glasses are adorable! And kinda sexy, actually." Bridget nodded approvingly. "So how did you meet him?"
"I was in the library because Dad said I need to get my grades up because they were real bad." Penny sighed. "So I was on my own since none of my friends wanted to go with me and I knew I had to study or Dad would stop my allowance. I was sitting there for like two hours staring at this math text book and he came over and asked if I needed any help because I hadn't turned the page or picked up my pencil the whole time. We spent like, the whole week studying together because I had a math test coming up. He was so sweet. Anyway, he asked me out at the end of the week and I just... I was so happy and excited. Nobody ever took me on a date before, unless you count making out at the movies when you go with a bunch of friends. Anyway, this was so much better. He's awesome. And," she bit her lip, "it's kinda hot when he talks all smart."
"Aw, that's so sweet, it's like Beauty and the Geek!" Bridget cooed, nudging Penny lightly in the ribs. "So-o, did you finally do it?"
"Bridge!" Penny scowled.
"Oh, come on! You've been going out with him for like two months, surely-"
"Fine, yes, I- we - did it." Penny blushed, before smirking. "Third date."
"Alright, tell me more." Bridget shuffled closer to Penny.
"Umm, it was at his house. In his, you know, bed. I was nervous because of what you told me but it was really good. Except, uh, he had to take me back because otherwise Mom and Dad would have been like, sending out search cars. Though I think they already knew because Mom looked at me funny and earlier Dad gave Leonard a bag of condoms."
"A bag-"
"Yeah, it was so embarrassing." Penny groaned, before giggling slightly at her sister's horrified expression. "But good, I guess, because I would have been too scared to suggest it."
"Good point. Guess he learned after me that it's best to have them and know than to not have them." Bridget shook her head. "So... a whole bag huh? I hope you put them to good use."
Blushing, Penny nodded. "Oh, yeah. We do."
"Ah, that's my sister." Bridget grinned. "I'm glad it's with someone you actually like and isn't going to mess with you. Trust me, you do not want to get into that. And if you do I am seriously going to bust some balls and pull your hair so hard you have to wear a wig."
"I'm not going to turn into you, Bridge, calm down!"
"Good, I'm just checking."
A knock at the door announced Meryl and Wyatt. Penny called for them to come in, and they grinned as they entered the room.
"Oh, it's so nice to see you both in here again. It's like old times, when Penny was convinced there were aliens hiding under her bed." Meryl grinned.
"Probably better seeing me in Penny's bed than her boyfriend, huh, Dad?" Bridget grinned cheekily, before receiving a smack on the arm from her sister. "Ow!"
"Well, I'll tell you something Bridge, Penny's boyfriend in this bed is far less concerning than those backwards-cap, pants-hanging-off-hips, whiskey-scented guys that spent nights in your bed. And better than some of the guys that Penny would hang out with at school or be driven home by. And besides, Leonard sleeps on the fold-out."
"You didn't do anything with those guys did you?" Bridget muttered to Penny, her protective older-sister mode coming into play.
Shaking her head disgustedly, Penny frowned. "Ew, no. Sometimes just making out."
"Good." Bridget nodded, before turning back to their parents. "At least you got one sensible kid."
"You sleeping in here or in your old room, sweetheart?" Meryl asked her eldest daughter.
"Ooh, stay with me!" Penny grinned. "Leonard made me this really cool laser-clock thingy that he made, it has-" she stopped as she saw her family look at her with raised brows. "I've got a new film we could watch."
Bridget giggled. "Okay, I'll stay here. I want to check out this clock thing."
"Leonard uses the fold-out and he says it's pretty comfortable, so you can sleep there and avoid Penny hitting you in the face in her sleep like last time." Wyatt gestured towards the fold-out.
The three girls stifled giggles at this, Bridget turning to raise her eyebrows suggestively at Penny, who turned bright red.
"Alright, lets leave these girls to it and they can set out the fold-out... which is getting so much use these days, good call buying it, Wyatt." Meryl chuckled, shaking her head at her daughters.
They said goodnight, and Meryl waited until Wyatt had walked down the hall before whispering to the girls, "Give him a couple more weeks... he'll come around to the idea of Penny having a guy in her bedroom eventually."
"Two months and he's still pretending Penny's all innocent? Seriously?" Bridget rolled her eyes. "Oh Dad. If only he knew."
"Shut up." Penny sneered at her sister.
"Oh, he does know. He's just choosing to pretend he does not."
"I wish you'd pretend to not know instead of giving me the look every morning I come out to get breakfast for me and Leonard." Penny muttered.
"Ah, the look." Bridget grinned. "It's better than the 'Bridget, we found those pregnancy tests in your trashcan' look."
"Yeah but the worst part is she gives it to Leonard as well if we go to breakfast together!"
"Eh, you're the last one I'll get to embarrass." Meryl shrugged. "And at least Dad's not sitting at the table with a staple gun in hand."
"Those were the days." Bridget mumbled sarcastically.
"See? You got the good end of the deal, Penny." Meryl nodded. "Anyway, I'm off to bed. Don't stay up too late girlies."
Bridget turned to Penny. "And please remember you're sharing your bed with your sister and not your boyfriend."
