Chapter seven

Two weeks before Sheldon was to come home, his mother and his sister Missy were cleaning house. Getting things done for when Sheldon gets home.

Mary was in the front room cleaning when a car that she's never seen drove up and a Colonel walked up to the door and knocked. She and Missy answer the door.

"Hello Mrs. Cooper. I have some terrible news to report. Your son was killed in action. Because of his saving the lives of 3 of his friends, Sgt Wolowitz, Cpls Hofstadter and Koothrappali, your son was awarded the Silver Star. I am so sorry for your loss."

An hour later Penny's mom answers the phone. "Hello."

"Mrs. Queen, This is Missy Cooper, Sheldon's sister."

Penny is in her room when she hears her mom answer the phone and hears a loud crash. She knows right away what happened before her mom even comes to the room.

That night at the high school game, Bernadette and Amy are looking all over for Penny. They find her under the stands crying as a preacher is reading off a list of local troops recently killed in Viet Nam.

Epilogue:

Penny goes to college. Becomes an actress. Eventually gets married and has kids, but she never forgets her first love, the shy boy she met in a diner years ago.
