I wake up the next morning in Missy's old room. Sadie and I shared her queen size bed. Missy was away on girls trip in Dallas and would be back this afternoon. I needed to pee but as soon as I get out of the bed, I felt sick. I run Missy's bathroom which adjoins to Sheldon's room as well and throw up in the toilet.

I hear a knock on the other side. It's Sadie, "Penny are you okay." I actually felt better after throwing up and open the door and say, "Must been the train food."

Sadie look concern, "You need me get you some water, crackers, pepto…." I shake my head, "No, I think I'm fine."

Sadie smiles, "Okay."

I had taken a shower last night, so I decide to get ready, brush my teeth, do my make up and straighten my hair before headed to the kitchen. I smelled food cooking at that was turning my stomach, again.

I was dressed in a peasant top and jeans as I walk in the kitchen, Sheldon was sitting at the bar while Ms. Cooper was cooking. I smile, "Good Morning."

Mary and Sheldon both say, "Good Morning." And Mary says, "Where is Sadie?"

I reply, "In the shower. I took mine last night. Where is George?"

Sheldon rolls his eyes, "Sleeping."

I sit at the bar next to Sheldon and he looked half awake, "Guessing, you couldn't sleep?"

Sheldon says, "Not with George Jr. snoring." Mary replies, "I'm sorry. You should buy some earplugs for tonight."

Sheldon replies, "Or, he can sleep the living room."

Mary says, "You can sleep in the living room." Sheldon replies, "Your couch is bumpy and hurts my back." Mary says as she puts a plate of pancakes in front of him, "Well, Sheldon I don't know what to tell you…"

Sheldon says, "I could get a hotel."

Mary says, "No, we are staying here as a family. I haven't had all my family under one roof in years."

I reply, "Sheldon. I can take you to Wal-Mart or Target to get some ear plugs. Of course if it's okay with Ms. Cooper for us to borrow her car." I look at Ms. Cooper and she says, "Yes, fine with me. Or better you can use MeeMaws car. It will keep her from driving, that woman barely has any eyesight." She then puts some pancakes on my plate."

An older lady walks in the kitchen and says, "I may be old but I can still hear." She grumbles and Sheldon's eyes bright up, "MeeMaw!" He stands up and gives her a hug. She smiles, "Hey, Moon Pie."

Mary says, "Well, I'm sorry mother but you almost completely missed the drive way, pulling in yesterday and not to mentioned that your licenses is expired and you can't get it renewed because you can't pass the eye test."

She says, "The eye test thing is broke."

Sheldon then says, "Oh, and MeeMaw, this is Penny."

I smile and say, "Hey."

She smiles, "Nice, to meet you Penny."

Sheldon then says, "Do you mind if Penny and I borrow your car."'

She shakes her head, "No, I don't mind. The keys are on the key holder by the door."

Mary looks at my plate, "You've barely ate anything, Penny." I say, "I'm sorry. I don't think the train food settled well with me…." Sheldon says, "Well, I ate it and feel completely fine."

I shrugged, "Must been the yogurt or maybe coffee." That was two things Sheldon had eaten/drank on the train.

"Can we go now?" Sheldon asked. "I rather leave before George wakes up."

I shrug, "Sure." I look at Mary, "Need any help cleaning, Ms. Cooper." Ms. Cooper shakes her head, "No, I'm good."

I go to Missy's room and grab my purse. Sadie wasn't in there and I figured she was in the room with George. Sheldon grabs the keys and throws them to me as I enter the living room. I catch them and follow him out the door.

As I was driving I say, "Your family is nice."

Sheldon says peering out his window, "I suppose so." I sigh, "Just it's very much like a tv family. You know like Full house or something. My family isn't like that…"

Sheldon replies, "We aren't actually together a lot. My brother is in the military and it's the first time in a while that he hasn't been overseas and my sister is a flight attendant so she's gone a lot, and I just don't like coming home."

I reply, "Why not?"

Sheldon says, "Take a right." as he is giving me directions to Target. He explains, "My brother and sister were never very nice to me. My mother is very religious and I can take so much of it and Meemaw is always gone on those tourbuses."

I reply, "Like the ones that take old people to see tourist sites and civil war attractions."

Sheldon nods.

I say, "I'm sure your brother and sister have grown up by now. It would be good to maybe form a good relationship with them. And your mother may be uber religious, but she is a really great person."

Sheldon sighs, "I know. I love my mother and my siblings. I just don't think there is any point to having a relationship with my siblings."

I reply, "Not even for your mother?"

Sheldon rolls his eyes and say, "Target is going to be on your left."

I pull into a parking spot and we walk into Target. I tell Sheldon that I have to go find some female hygene products while he goes look for earplugs.

Sheldon nods and we split ways. I find the isle with pregnancy test. There were so many. Which one? There was one that showed one or two lines, one that just said pregnant or not pregnant, some that were early pregnancy test. I decide to pick three brands and then walk up to the pharmacy. "Do you mind if I pay for these up here." The clerk looks at what I have and nods as if she understands my predicament, "Sure."

I pay and then she gives me the bag. I stick it in my purse.

Sheldon ask as I find him, "Did you get what you need?" I say, "Yeah, I bought it already. It's in my purse."

I ask, "You have what you need." He holds up some earphones and I raise an eyebrow, "I thought you were getting earplugs."

He says, "I don't think earplugs will work. These are wireless noise reducing earphones. I can Bluetooth them to my phone and download some sounds of rain or something soothing to block his snoring."

I nod, "Okay…if that is what you want."

He pays and we head back home.

We arrive back home and Sheldon groans, "Oh, Missy is here." I say, "Yes, Sheldon. This is why we are here. Because your sister is getting married, don't sound too excited about it…" Sheldon glares at me as we leave the car, "I know this, Penny."

We go inside and Missy smiles, "Penny and Sheldon." She gives us both a hug. Missy then introduces us to the other girls who are also the other bridesmaids.

I wave, "Nice to meet you."

One of the bridesmaids named Taylor, she had red shoulder length hair, green eyes, nice body, about 5'4, gives Sheldon a hug and says, "Hello, Sheldon. It's been a while." I assume she was the one that took Sheldon's virginity away. I wanted to punch her in the face. I wasn't sure why I wanted to punch her in the face but there was an urge to punch her in her pretty pale face.

Sheldon replies, "Yes, about 14 years and 8 months at Missy's high school graduation."

Taylor gives him a suggestive look, "So you were keeping count…" Sheldon rolls his eyes, "No I have…." Taylor smirks as she goes back to her seat, "I know, know….eidetic memory!"

Everyone laughs and Sheldon looks at me confused and I just roll my eyes and smile as I rub his arm, telling without speaking, it's okay.

Taylor then eyes the two of us, "So are you two dating.". I feel myself blushing and not sure why and say, "No, we are just friends." Missy replies, "Penny is a mutual friend of Sheldon and I. I met her one day when visiting Shelly. Sheldon and her fiancé' are roommates."

Sheldon said annoyed, "Missy, I don't like when you call me Shelly." Missy goes up to him and gives him a kiss on the cheek, "It's my weekend and I'll call you what I please." Sheldon wipes the kiss off his cheek as she heads to the kitchen, "You do what you please, no matter what day it is…"

She says, "I know!"

Sheldon looks around and there are too many strange people in here for his liking , "Is George still here?" Taylor says, "No, Sadie and him went go see some friends." Sheldon says, "Good." As he heads up to his room and closes the door. Now, I was standing with a group of strangers. I decided to leave Sheldon to himself for a while. He needed his alone time.

I sit on the couch and one of the girls named Lisa says, "So, you're from California?"

I reply, "Not really. I moved there from Nebraska. I wanted an acting career but ended up as Pharmaceutical rep." One of the other bridesmaids, I think her name was Britney says, "Well, being a salesman is a lot like acting. You have to be able to be believable for their product." I nod, "Yeah. It is but I am actually filming a miniseries now."

Missy walks in with wine and joins in the conversation, "Oh, yeah Penny. I forgot you got that miniseries. How is it going?" I say, "It's good. Almost don't filming and then not sure how long it'll take for editing and the politics of figuring what network to get it to air on…"

Taylor ask, "Were you in a movie, Serial Ape-ist?" I could feel my face go red and say, "Oh God are you one of the five people, who saw that awful movie?" Everyone started giggling.

Taylor laughs, "Oh my Gosh. It was you. I knew you looked familiar and when you said actress….." Missy shakes her head, "I don't even want to know what it's about and how did I not know…"

I reply, "Because I was so embarrassed. My own family doesn't know about the movie." Lisa says, "What is it about?" I say, "You know Sharknado?" Lisa nods and I reply, "It's like 10 times worst."

Taylor laughs, "It's like the Shiner, planet of the apes, and Baywatch all in one…" I smirk, "Well, you are just being too kind on that description."

Missy says, "We can watch it on Netflix!" My eyes widen and go to her side and low behold on her phone was Serial Ape-ist on her phone. "This is what we are watching tonight."

I say, "No, let's not." Missy raises her eyebrow, "It's my party and we'll do what I want to..."I frown, "Fine."

Missy gets a phone call and hangs up, "Have to go check the tux, to make sure the vest are the right color." Brittany says, "You're rehearsal and dinner is like in a few hours."

Missy says, "I know. Just going to take my dress with me and get dress at the venue for the rehearsal." The others agree they will do the same and go with her.

I reply, "I'll wait for Sadie and them to get back and we'll meet you there."

Missy says, "Okay and afterwards the real party is going to start. With…" all the girls chimed in at the same time, "Serial Ape-ist." I force a smile and say bye as they leave.

I then go to Sheldon's room and knock saying, "Sweetie?" Sheldon says, "Come in."

There are two twin beds and Sheldon is sitting on one of them typing on his laptop. I reply, "Are you okay, moonpie?" Sheldon glares at me, "Only MeeMaw calls me Moonpie." I sit on the bed next to him, "I know but it's fun to say. Whatcha doing."

Sheldon sighs, "Working on my project."I ask again, "Are you okay? You looked a little overwhelmed."He says, "Too many people."I lay my head on his shoulder, "I know." Sheldon says, "You, have never met any of these people and you just blend in." I reply, "I'm a social person, I guess."

Sheldon says, "Well, I'm butt of all jokes." I raise my head up, "Well, it looks like I'll be taking your place in that role." Sheldon says, "Why?" I reply, "They found Serial Ape-ist on Netflix. That's what we are watching tonight." Sheldon looked amused, "Are you going to watch the sequel, too?" I say, "No and no one needs to know there was a sequel."

Sheldon sighs, "That's a shame. The sequel was better." He then looks over at me and grins. I grin nudging him in the shoulder and he says, "Bazinga. Neither was good."

I reply, "I caught that it was a joke." He leans in for a kiss and I was surprise. This wasn't a passionate kiss, it was sweet and soft. I say after he release, "What was that for?" He shrugs, "I just wanted to…"

I bite my lip and say, "So, Taylor…was she…" Sheldon replies, "Yes, that was who I lost my virginity to…" I say, "Don't have sex with her this weekend." Sheldon replies, "Do you know who you are talking speaking with? I haven't seen her in 14 years and 8 months, for sure haven't kept up on rather she has had her annual check ups, on birth control, and she is married…"

He then grabs my left hand and says looking at my engagement ring "I guess the marriage part wouldn't have stopped me" I say, "I was joking but she was eyeing you pretty hard a while ago." Sheldon says smugly, "Why wouldn't she?"

I roll my eyes and put his laptop on the floor so I can push him down on the bed and kiss him. We were getting pretty heated until we heard his mother's voice, "Sheldon" and we quickly jumped out of the bed. Thankfully the door is closed.

Sheldon straightens his clothes and opens the door, "Yes, mother?" She says, "We are going to leave here in about an hour to go to the church for rehearsal."

Sheldon sighs, "How how hard is it to just walk from one end to the room to the other? Why do we have to rehearse?" His mom replies, "Sheldon Lee Cooper, just be ready in an hour." Sheldon says, "What is wrong with what I am wearing." Sheldon's mom was getting aggravated and I chimed in, "Ms. Cooper. I'll make sure he is dress in time."

Mary Cooper gives me a thankful look, "Thank you, Penny."

I look in the closet, where Sheldon had neatly hanged his things and grabbed a blue button up shirt and then found some gray slacks with a black belt. "Here and wear this with your black loafers"

Sheldon replies, "I did not even pack those clothes. I saw them when I was unpacking." I smirk, "That's because I packed them. You can't wear super hero shirts to your sister's rehearsal party. You dress up like you dress for a banquet or even for work…."

Sheldon rolls his eyes and playfully punch him the chest, "Don't roll your eyes at me." He says, "Why do people take this so seriously? Rehearsal dinner?" I say, "Because she is about to be bound to one man for the rest of her life. It's an important day and it has to be perfect for her."

Sheldon says as I walk to the adjoining bathroom, "I'm sure she'll have other weddings in the future. I can't see Missy staying with one man for the rest of her life." I say before I open the door in the bathroom that connects to Missy room, "You never know, Sheldon. What do you know? You barely seen her in the last few years….she's grown up since then."

Sheldon yells out before I close the bathroom door, "I know my sister!"

I put on a blue pleated lace dress that hit above my knees and was sleeveless. Sadie walks in about that time and says, "Hey, Penny!"

I look over and smile, "Hi." She asks, "Where are the other girls?" I say, "They had to do some things for the wedding before the party." She nods and grabs her suit case pulling out a dress and says, "I'm glad you are already dress, so I can figure out what to wear. I brought almost my whole wardrobe. I wanted to impress his parents…"

I smile, "Well, I'm sure they adore you." She says getting dress, "I hope so."

She stands in the mirror looking at her pink dress and says, "I haven't had much time to talk to his mother, sister, or even Sheldon." I reply, "Sheldon isn't easy to talk to, he is an acquired taste. I'm sure maybe during reception, Mary will have some time to talk and tonight we having girls night with Missy and them."

She nods, "Fun. I think. You didn't sound too excited…" I sigh, "That's because we going to watch a movie I'm in…" Her eyes widen, "You're an actress." I say, "Kind of…I quit and now back doing a miniseries. But I did a movie when I first move to California….needed the money….it's awful."

Sadie replies as she starts touching up her make up, "Can't be too bad."

I look at her, "It's called Serial Ape-ist." And Sadie laughs and says, "I'm sorry….but that's hilarious."

I nod as I put on my heels and I hear a knock on the door and I say, "Come in." It was George, "Are you two ready?"

I say, "I'm pretty much ready." Sadie says as she slips on her shoes, "Me too."

Sheldon was dressed in the clothes I picked out for him. I smile and I saw he had a hint of a smile when he saw me. I always thought he looked handsome in a suit.
