If you probably started here, you shouldn't, cause we left off at chapter 8 & 9, which are up!
Thank you to RevDorothyL for pointing out that temperature mistake! Good thing I didn't take up anything medicine related, sigh.
SO GO TO THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS OR ELSE YOU WILL GET A SMALL SPOILER THAT WILL BE RESOLVED HERE CAUSE I'M CRAZY.
Looking through the rest of the chapters, I'm thinking of an M chapter (lololol) but there are tons of chapters before that happens. The next series I'm doing will totally be post- some season or something, no more pre-pilot for me.
Disclaimers are Bazingas.
Raj handed Sheldon his paper on the Higgs Boson, "Here's the paper you were asking for"
Sheldon looked up at him, taking the paper, "Thank you Raj this is very much appreciated"
Raj grabbed a chair and dragged it towards Sheldon's desk, "So Sheldon, how's Penny? I haven't seen her since last, last week"
The taller physicist shook his head, "I am not sure myself, and she has been quite busy these past few days. We have not crossed paths ever since"
Leonard walked into the room, a cup of coffee in his hands. "Don't listen to him Raj. He and Penny had little misunderstanding the other week and he's been avoiding her ever since"
Sheldon glared at Leonard, "We did not have a misunderstanding, I just reprimanded her for being irresponsible"
Raj crossed his arms, leaning back into his chair, "Why what did Penny do?"
Leonard placed his coffee on Sheldon's desk, earning him another glare. "Penny was unable to pick up Sheldon and drive them to the airport. She had a date, which is pretty logical that she would choose the guy over Sheldon."
"What? You guys fought again?" Raj shrieked, a hand on his face, "Seriously you guys are like an old married couple!" (pfft.)
"We are not a couple, Raj. Why would Penny choose a guy over me? I'm her roommate," Raj stared at Sheldon, "plus we have an agreement. She signed it which means that she has to do it"
Leonard chuckled, "Sheldon, first of all, Penny would choose a guy over you cause that guy would probably respect her, and not boss her around. Plus he could, I don't know, offer her love and sex?"
Sheldon cocked his head to the side, "Why would Penny want love and coitus? Wouldn't she rather have an organized planned life?"
"Sheldon that doesn't connect to anything" Raj pointed out. Sheldon frowned, "Yes it does. Penny already promised my mother that she will continue to abide the agreement even after she is no longer my roommate"
Leonard took a sip of his coffee; Sheldon has a lot to learn. "Sheldon, Penny will leave you one day. You could stay as friends, but I doubt that she'll still drive you everywhere. She'll have a life"
"But Leonard, that will disrupt my schedule, and you know that I don't like change!" he whined, "I already had to adapt to you not being my roommate, and then I had to accommodate her into my life! That's a very hard thing to do Leonard"
"Dude, Leonard's right. Penny can't stay there forever. What if she gets married and has kids do you want them to live in that tiny apartment with you?" Sheldon shook his head, "She's bound to move out sometime."
Sheldon looked down for a moment, before looking back up at them. "How do I get her to stay?"
Raj smiled, "You could ask her out on a date or mayb-"
"Raj I didn't ask you, and your suggestion is stupid," he turned to Leonard, "And what are your suggestions Leonard?"
"Well first of all, stop being obnoxious and stop bossing her around," Sheldon nodded, writing it down on a piece of paper, "And like Raj suggested maybe you could ask Penny out a date since it's obvious that you're jealous of the guy she went out with" Leonard stammered, placing his hands in his pockets.
Sheldon stopped writing and looked up at Leonard. "Why do you keep insisting that I like Penny? I in no way like her. She is simply my roommate, a girl that is a friend"
"Sheldon it's cause I know that you like Penny. Why would you even act that way towards her just for not picking you up? When I was your roommate, you just gave me a strike and ranted."
Raj nodded while Leonard continued, "But when Penny forgot to pick you up cause of a date, you lashed out on her and avoided her. I think that's jealousy, am I right Raj?"
"Dude Leonard is so right. You're jealous"
"First of all Leonard, I find it rude of you to eavesdrop on our conversation, after you said that you'd be in the car. Second, I am not jealous, I am just annoyed with the fact that she didn't inform me about her little date, get your facts right" Sheldon sneered.
Leonard held up his hands in defense, "Okay okay. I'm sorry I eavesdrop, it's just that I left something in your apartment and I had to get it."
"I accept your apology. Now get out of my office, and do not forget about the Star Wars movie marathon tonight."
"We won't" Leonard and Raj said in unison.
Sheldon climbed up the stairs in annoyance. How could he possibly forget about his light saber? They had planned to attend the movie marathon weeks ago, and it was not like him to forget it, or to forget anything at all.
He lifted his hand and knocked three times, he was sure that Penny was home. He noticed that the door was locked and decided to speed things up by getting his keys.
Good lord, this woman is getting on my nerves.
Unlocking the door, he searched the room for a sign of Penny. The apartment was dead silent. He shook his head; she must be on another one of dates again.
He stood in the hall, checking if Penny was in the bathroom, she wasn't. Maybe she was on a date. He went to his room and searched for his light saber, it was on the other side of the room.
HACHOO!
His head shot up at the sound of a sneeze… Could it be a ghost?
HACHOO!
He ran out to the hall and scanned the living room, there was no one inside!
HACHOO!
He walked back to the hall, slowly approaching Penny's bedroom. He took a deep breath before opening the door. Stepping inside, he switched on the lamp.
Penny slowly turned towards his directions, rubbing her eyes. "Oh hey Sheldon" she sniffed. Sheldon's eyes grew in horror at the sight of her. Penny was flushed, with dark bags under her eyes; her eyes were red and watery while her nose was bright red.
"Penny are you sick… or have you been crying? I can't seem to tell"
Penny grabbed a tissue from her night stand, wiping her nose. "No, I haven't been crying but I have been sick the last couple of days… I just didn't let you hear me sneezing" She whispered.
"Stay there, I'll get my emergency roommate sickness kit!" Sheldon exclaimed as he opened the door, "Sheldon please keep it down, you're making my headache worse"
Sheldon nodded as he walked out of the room. He swung his door open and grabbed his kit. He placed on a pair of gloves, and strapped on a hospital mask, he wouldn't risk getting sick.
He quickly went back to Penny's room and pulled out a thermometer, placing it under her armpit. After a few seconds, and a few coughs for Penny, he took it out.
92 °F!
"Penny, why didn't you inform me of your condition? It is impossible for one to recover alone!" he wailed, frantically pacing the room.
Penny slowly grabbed his arm, "Hey Moon pie… could you get me some orange juice?"
Sheldon stopped and looked at her, nodding. "Of course, would you like anything else?"
"Some soup would be nice" Sheldon nodded and went out of the room.
He opened the top shelf and got out a juicer that Raj once gave him. Penny would definitely appreciate some freshly squeezed orange juice. He grabbed a couple of oranges and sliced it in half, then placed it on the juicer. (I just taught you guys how to make orange juice lol)
Knock, knock, knock, Sheldon?
He forgot about the guys! He raced to the door, opening it, he was met by Leonard.
"Sheldon what's taking you so long? I thought that you were only gonna get your light saber?" Leonard looked behind Sheldon and saw the juicer, "Sheldon why is the juicer out? I don't think that that's a light saber"
Sheldon looked down, pulling down his mask, "I, uh, won't be able to join you guys tonight"
Leonard looked taken a back, "Why? We planned this weeks ago, is it because of the juicer? Cause if it is we could get an orange flavored snow cone along the way"
Sheldon shook his head, "Penny is sick… and she wanted orange juice…"
Leonard smiled as he adjusted his glasses, "Alright, I'll just tell Raj that you got diarrhea… Take care of Penny, buddy"
Sheldon frowned at him, "I know what you're thinking Leonard, and I'm just returning the favor"
Leonard crossed his arms, smirking, "What am I thinking, and what favor?"
"You're thinking that I will do the same for you when you are sick. I will most definitely not, this is a onetime thing. And that's another story. You should get going or else you will certainly miss the movie"
Leonard nodded, stepping out in the hall, "Okay, okay. You're wrong about my thoughts, but I have to go or Raj will go all drama queen on me," he pointed to Sheldon, "You go take care of Penny."
Sheldon closed the door with a huff, and proceeded to the kitchen. He took out a can of soup and decided to heat it on the over, the radiation from the microwave wouldn't be a nice touch. Once he was satisfied with the meal, he placed it on a tray and brought it to Penny's room.
Penny pushed down her blanket and sat upright. "That looks good"
Sheldon placed the tray on her side table, pulling up a chair beside her bed. "Of course, it was made by the brilliant Dr. Sheldon Cooper. You should be honored to eat that, as you are the only one I have made one for"
Penny held the bowl, smiling, "Really?"
Sheldon nodded, handing her the spoon, "Don't tell me that you require assistance in feeding yourself"
Penny looked at him innocently, "If I did would you feed me?"
Sheldon folded his arms across his chest, "Perhaps. It is part of the roommate agreement to take care of each other when sick, and you are sick, therefore I must cater to your needs. Do you require assistance?"
Penny raised her eyebrow, "All of my needs?"
Sheldon took a moment to think about it, "I suppose. Anything that would quicken your recovery"
Penny smirked, "So you'd practically do anything?"
Sheldon let out an irritated sigh, "Yes I meant anything. Now answer my question, do you need assistance?"
Penny giggled, "No I'm good, maybe some other time."
Sheldon groaned, "You will be sick again?"
Penny took a spoonful of soup, "Well, with what you're offering me, I'll gladly get sick everyday"
"Please do avoid getting sick or else you might get me infected."
"Well then we could be sick together!" She happily said before sneezing.
Sheldon handed her a tissue, "Though I am already wearing gloves and a mask, that does not make me immune to your sickness."
Penny placed the bowl on the table, taking the orange juice.
Sheldon gestured to the juice, "I'm sure you will enjoy that. I opted out of using that unnatural carton of orange you have in the refrigerator, and made it freshly squeezed. I doubt that those supermarket juices will help in your recovery. Though I wasn't sure if you liked it with pulp"
Penny smiled warmly at him, "That's really thoughtful of you, sweetie. Thank you."
Sheldon smiled at her, "Is there anything else you require?"
Penny slipped back under the covers, "Well, there is one thing…"
"What is it?"
She turned her head to him, pouting, "Could you sing soft kitty to me? I am sick"
He sighed, moving to the side of her bed, "Fine. Just this one time," she nodded, "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur, happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr."
Penny grabbed her head and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Sheldon gave her a pat on the top of her head before standing up.
"Thanks again Moon Pie" she whispered, closing her eyes.
"I'll let you off just this once. " Sheldon switched off the lights, "Good night Penny"
Just a sweet chapter to make up for the storm that comes after 6 chapters, and well another handful of chapters after that! Point if you saw the sexual innuendo! *wenk*
The next chapters go like this: Shenny story telling, Sheldon feelings, Shenny/Penny revelation, Shenny, The gang with bits of Shenny, MAJOR Shenny/Sheldon feelings, LANDSLIDE!
Oh, and I've seen the promo for tomorrow's episode (It's 2:21 AM, 10/18 over here) and I must say that I jumped out of my seat when I saw Penny tackle Sheldon to the floor!
As Mary would say, PRAISE JESUS!
On a side note: EVERYONE in this story is pro-Sheldon, except 2 characters, no it's not Amy and Leonard sorry.
Oh and just had to say that, I am a big fan of non-canon couples. So maybe we share the same favorite couples or something? Reviews are nice. M fics are too… I write E fics by the way.
