Chapter 11. The Cheesecake Factory
Sheldon POV
I arrive at Caltech and find Leonard waiting for me at the entrance.
"Sheldon, get out of the car and let me go get Penny." Leonard yells.
This miscreant doesn't realize how much precious time Penny has left.
"Leonard, just get in the car and let's get down there already!"
He finally obeyed and no sooner then when he got in, I 'floored' it.
"What was your vision about?" asked Leonard.
How did Leonard know? Unless…
"I'm guessing you had one too?" I say trying to be sneaky.
"Yes, and I want you to stay in the car when I go get Penny." I start to protest, but he cuts me off. "Sheldon, just stay in the car and you won't get killed! It's what Death wants! Don't you get it? All three of us will be in one place, so it would be the perfect opportunity to kill us all."
It makes sense, but… I get the feeling no matter what we try… One of us will end up dead. Not Penny… As long as it's not Penny…
We get to the Cheesecake Factory ten minutes later. And the first thing I see is Penny standing outside. I park and walk over to her.
"I told you not to come! And why is Leonard here?"
"That's not the point… You have to leave here with us." I tell her.
Leonard chooses this point to grab me and Penny, and tow us towards the car. Very roughly, I may add. I didn't realize he had that much strength for being so small.
"Ok, let's talk in the car. It's safer in the car." Leonard said.
I pull away from his grasp, "Leonard calm down! It's only a small fire that mainly takes the kitchen, not the whole diner. So calm down!"
Penny stopped walking as well, "I saw an explosion, not a fire. Why would your vision be different than mine?"
I start to reply when Leonard cuts me off, "It's not. They're both the same, or rather, they both will happen… Which is why we need to get in the car now!"
Me and Penny just stare at Leonard, who seems to take the hint that he needs to explain a little more. "Well… In my vision, Penny was trapped in the kitchen and burned to death. And Sheldon… You were blown to bits. And I was mutilated by a knife."
Everyone? But I thought it could only be one by one….
"There are children in there, Leonard!..."
"I no but,-"
Penny ran off towards the front doors, with Leonard in close pursuit.
Leonard POV
I can't lose Penny! Not in this way! She saved my life, now I'm going to return the favor. I do what I never thought I would ever do. I jumped and tried to trip Penny, which succeeded. However she fell into the door and the force of it knocked her out. At least it didn't kill her, so that's a plus. Bad news: I can see people running around in the restaurant and it look like something is on fire. Penny just avoided her fate… Now it's Sheldon next. I carry Penny back to the car, while Sheldon stares on in bewilderment.
"Leonard… What's happening?"
Man! Sheldon can be such a dumbass sometimes.
"Sheldon get in the car! NOW!"
I hear the final explosion that should've blown Sheldon to bits had he been in there. And I drop Penny to stand in front of Sheldon. I see a flash of silver and metal.
Sheldon POV
Leonard… you saved me… And you were beheaded for it… Penny's next again, because of your stupid sacrifice! I was willing to die, to die for Penny's happiness. Well, I swear Leonard, I will keep her happy and keep her safe. You can rest easy… everyone can…
Penny starts to stir and I take her hand as I slowly start to cry.
"Sheldon? We're still alive? But where's Leonard?" She asks oblivious to the blood on her and my clothes.
I didn't want to show her, but… it's better to be honest than deceitful if I will stay with her for the rest of our days. I pointed to Leonard's still bleeding corpse. Penny didn't even blink an eye, but she did start crying. I hugged her, and would not stop hugging her until she told me to.
"It's ok… Everything will be ok."
Please review! And i apologize for this chapter being so short
