"Penny, Penny" he couldn't find her or escape his past he looked around, but she was nowhere to be seen. He ran down the street, where was she? There was no mass destruction as in the last dream he had about this place. The buildings were whole lots of activities happening. The birds were singing, the sounds of cars. Kids laughing and playing in the park. It was a bright sunny day everyone seems happy. He needed to find penny where was she? He couldn't lose her. Not now, was she okay. Come back to me I need you. He crosses to the other side of the road he could hear sobbing. "Penny" he called but no answer he followed the sound of the cries it was getting louder. He spotted her she was sitting against a wall with her head on her knees he could see she was crying. "Penny," she looked up shocked to see him as he ran toward her she stood up and ran into his arm both crying tears of joy. "I thought I lost you," he finally said.

"Where where you I couldn't find you I thought you were dead," She said between sobs.

"I just had to retrieve and return something I'm back now."

"Please don't leave me I need you in my life."

"I will never leave you. I love you, and we will always be together." They just held onto each other. It all went black.

Leonard had this strange sense he felt like he was controlling the craft it triggered some response that made the ship move. It's like the cube laid dominant waiting for him to trigger some response by his reaction. He didn't understand what was happening how could he be controlling the craft with no actual physical interaction. Was this paraphysical wonders created by his collective consciousness.

Leonard woke and found himself in a room on a flat table he tried to move, but he couldn't he was paralyzed from head to toe.

The last thing he remembered was floating aboard the craft. A light shining on his face was blinding. He could see two figures staring down at him, but he couldn't make them out. It was too blurry without his glasses. He felt a Sharp pain as a long thin object was inserted into his brain. They must be removing the implant he thought. He fell into an unconscious state.

Leonard woke up on what looked like a bed he wasn't on the craft anymore the same two beings standing beside him. Leonard was not afraid, he felt extremely safe and felt a strong connection with the alien beings.

"Where am I," He asked. One of them spoke without his month moving.

"You are on our mothership. Do not be afraid we will not hurt you."

"I'm not scared I just want to go home and be with my wife I have completed your task, why am I still here."

"Thank you for helping us gets back the orb. We just needed to examine and monitor you to make sure you are alright. You saved your planet from destruction." Leonard was puzzled and asked.

Why is the orb so important? You could have just abandoned the craft.

"We needed it to power the damaged ship and in the wrong hands it could be catastrophic. It will take you humans a very long time to understand the power of the orb; that's why we couldn't abandon any of our technology to you humans. It's capable of mass destruction and more that all I can tell you." the other being said, his mouth also not moving.

"Oh glad I could help then am I going to be safe when I get back."

"Yes nobody will know you are responsible for retrieving the orb. Your identity was protected."

"What about my powers?"

"Sorry, we had to remove the implant. You are human again."

"Oh well, It was fun while it lasted. Disappointment is evident on his face.

"Leonard." the first being spoke. "You were brave and not just because of the help we gave you. Your suppressed confidence came out and played a significant role in your success. You should be proud of yourself."

"Were you the one I was in contact with while at the base?"

"Yes. "

"Thank you for helping me. Couldn't have done it without you."

"You're welcome and a pleasure."

"I'm glad it's over, and I can go back to living a normal life. Can I go home now?"

"You are a good person. I will miss our interactions. As you wish would you like a tour of the ship before you leave?

"I would love to. Can I also see the main control room?"

They smiled as they led the way. Leonard wasn't sure if he was dreaming or it was all real.

Penny couldn't think properly she didn't know what was going on. The alarm was getting louder. Had Leonard being caught or killed? All this thought ran through her mind. She began to shake violently as she curled up into a ball on the back seat. She woke up an hour later, and it took a few seconds to recollect her thoughts and that Leonard wasn't back his car still where he left it. She didn't know what to do. Should she alert the authorities? She didn't want to get him in more trouble so wave that idea away. It was nearly four in the morning the alarm had stopped. Maybe he found another way home she began to think she should have stayed at the apartment and waited for him. They promised to protect him he must have got out. Something inside her kept assuring her that she will see him again, but she wanted to see it for herself. Yes, he's at home worried about her I need to get to him. Just then in the distance she saw the lights again it looked like it was coming towards her. It stopped about 10 miles away from her she could see it was triangular and a lot of different color lights flashing around it. It descended like it was going to land. Penny jumped into the driver seat and started the engine she headed for the location after about 15 minutes of driving she went off the road into the desert she followed the light. She drove closer, and she saw a large triangular shaped disc hovering above a clearing. She stopped the car and leaped out, with no thought for her safety she ran towards the mysterious alien craft as it rose and disappeared into the night sky. She screamed at the craft. Where is he? Please don't take him away from me as she dropped to her knees and began to sob. She wanted her Leonard she knew she couldn't survive without him she didn't know how long she had been there, but dawn was coming now. She looked at the spot where the craft had hovered, she spotted a body she gasps as she put her hand to her mouth. She recognized the clothing and ran toward it. He was lying on his side. It was Leonard. Was he dead there was no movement she touches him he felt cold, so she checked for a pulse and found one? "Leonard please wakes up its penny." but she got no response. "Please, baby wake up." still nothing. She shouted for help, but no one could hear her cries in the middle of the desert. He kept slipping in and out of consciousness. He mumbles "I'm okay just need to sleep, and drugs wear out. She dragged his body to her car it wasn't easy and laid him in the back seat. She hoped he was okay as she drove toward their rented apartment.

She managed to get him to the bedroom with the help of a neighbor who happen to be a nurse and assured her after taking his vital signs that he was alright and will wake up when the drugs wore off. Penny thanked her and lied that he mixed up his medications which she seems to believe. She told Penny not to hesitate to call her if she needs anything. She wiped his face with a warm cloth and tried to keep him warm. She could hear his breathing she just wanted to hold him she laid her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat it was soothing and kept her from panicking. She was relieved and happy. She fell asleep.

Leonard opens his eyes to see Penny looking down at him with the biggest smile on her face. Tears in her eyes. He smiled at her and pulled her into an embrace. They held each other not wanting to let go. He moved her hair so he could see her face and look into those beautiful hazel eyes that he loved so much.

"Penny I love you so much. How did I get here?"

"I love you too more that you will ever know. I found you in the desert and brought you home."

"I don't remember. The last thing I remember was in the alien craft. It's all over Penny. I succeeded. We are safe now."

"Really what about the military?"

"They don't know it's me. We can live our lives now. I promise never to leave you again." He cried happy tears as she leans in to kiss him."

"I was so worried Leonard I thought I lost you forever. Don't you ever frighten me like that again?" He pulled her into another hug and held her tightly.

"I'm sorry we are safe now. This is the best place to be, inside of your hugs where it's warm and loving. I Love You, Penny."

You are so cheesy" she grinned at him, but two can play that game." She grabbed his face with both hands and just stared at him, she finally spoke with a lot of love in the tone of her voice. "Every moment spends with you is like a beautiful dream come true. I love you too."

Leonard told her about his adventures and how easy it was to sneak into the base using his powers and how he nearly got caught twice. But both times the aliens came to his rescue he told her everything leaving out nothing his experience on the mothership and how he was probed and the implant that controlled his powers removed from his brain, he told her how nice they treated him and the tour of the ship. It was awesome. He got to see the Command Centre or bridge as we know in star trek and how the ship was navigated. His eyes lit up as he told her about the cool cloaking device that could change him into anything. He was disappointed to lose his powers now it was over. Penny was too she loved his powers it was a turn on for her, but she was happy to sacrifice it to have her Leonard back the little nerd that she fell in love with. Powers or not Leonard was hers, and she would have it no other way.

Who was that on the phone sweetheart?

"Oh, just Adams to warn me not to come to the base on Monday as it's on lockdown and probably wouldn't be needing my services for the foreseeable future we can go home."

"That so great, he didn't suspect a thing? "

"I guess not it didn't sound like he did, but he wouldn't give any information about why the base was on lockdown."

"This nightmare is finally over. Let's go home Leonard we have a lot to catch up on. She winks at him.

Three months later

Leonard felt stronger and in peace with himself. Whatever the alien did to him, they had got rid of his asthma and lactose intolerance. Maybe it was his reward for him helping them recover the orb. Everything was going well for him and Penny. They spend as much time together just doing married couple stuff and having fun; they couldn't get enough of each other. They also spend time with their friends and penny was the maid of honor at Emma and Steve's wedding. His new lab had been built. Leonard was now working from home, and Penny's movies was a hit in the box office they went to the film premiere the fan loved her, it seems like Hollywood, and the fans had welcomed her back with open arms. She had two movies in the pipeline, and the offers kept coming in. Leonard and Penny had never been happier everything in their lives was complete. They couldn't wait to find out what the future holds for them, but it's a journey they will take together as one.

Leonard and Penny were asleep having the same dream penny spooning him. Both had goofy grins on their faces.

They were holding hands as they ran down a hill laughing and skipping along together they fell on the grass. Leonard kissed her the happiness was there for all to see but it was just the two of them in their world, and nothing mattered but the love that had travelled 14 billion miles to reach them they gazed into each other's eyes seeing the fire that will never burn out. He reached down to kiss her, and it all went black.

They woke up at the same time sat up and looked at each other smiling instinctively fingers intertwined. Nothing could break this bond they were one. Destiny never lies. Love last longer than eternity. This love will withstand the test of time.
