After finishing my Batman Comic I frown and allow myself to think about what is going on.

I would not mind living with Penny that is not at all the problem.

I just am not ready for Leonard to leave.

He drives me to work.

He drives me to the grocery store.

He is my transportation, but that is not my crucial reason as to why I do not wish for him to leave. Leonard, though he finds me difficult and can be a pain, has always understood me. He may think I'm crazy, but he usually complies.

I sigh and decide to go to the living room. I change my clothing and walk into the living room finding Penny, Leonard, Raj and Howard. I slowly sit in my spot.

"Am I in trouble?"

Penny sits beside me "No sweetie."

I nod slowly as everyone else sits down as well. Leonard is in the chair on my left and Raj is beside Penny. Howard is in a desk chair in front of the television. And they are all looking at me. I look over at Penny.

"Are you sure? Because I feel like I'm in trouble."

"We just wanna talk to you Sheldon." Howard smiles.

"About what?"

"A few things really."

I nod slowly "Proceed."

"Sheldon I'm sorry I didn't tell you first. But I really do intend on moving in with Stephanie."

I look down and nod.

"Sheldon please keep a verbal conversation with us." Howard rolls his eyes.

I nod "Very well."

"And I think until you adjust, Penny could stay with you." Leonard adds.

"She is correct, I will notice the various differences in the two of you. For example, I will probably kiss her again in the near future, but I never wish to kiss you…"

He nods "I'm glad. But, I can still drive you to work, Stephanie doesn't live very far."

I nod "That would be… acceptable."

"Are you afraid of living with Penny? If so, maybe Howard or Raj-"

"What the Frak? I did not agree to that!"

I look up "No."

"No, what honey?" Penny asks.

I look over and gaze into her eyes "I am not afraid of living with you." I turn to Howard "And I would rather you were not here as Penny will be and you still give her that disturbing look."

"Sheldon? Please understand that I need this change." Leonard frowns at me.

I nod "Very well. I still don't like it."

"I'll see you every day."

I nod and look over at Penny "I am more afraid that, after living with me for a while, you will grow annoyed and wish to terminate our relationship."

She pulls me into a hug "I practically live with you already! I'm not worried, at all!"

I look into her eyes and search for any sign of doubt "Really?"

She nods "Of course!"

"When do you think you will move in with Stephanie?"

He shrugs "I'm not sure yet."

I sigh, "Leonard I need you to be a bit more specific than that!"

"Sheldon, it just depends! It may not even happen!"

I nod "I believe it will. Howard?"

He looks up at me "What?"

"Seeing as Penny has gone from my best friend to my girlfriend, Leonard is now my best friend again, and you are no longer a treasured acquaintance, you get to be my friend."

"Really? Are you sure that I am worthy?"

"Well-"

"Sarcasm!" Howard rolls his eyes.

"I know that." I frown "I was going to say, that yes. I believe you are."

"Really?"

"Honestly 90% of your verbal statements are sarcastic!" I frown.

Howard smile "I'm a friend, and not just by default!"

I nod.

Penny has gone to work and I am overwhelmingly bored. I clean the apartment top to bottom and reorganize my comic books. I keep staring at the clock, waiting for her to get home. Leonard suggests I play Age of Conan, but it is more enjoyable with her presence. I take a shower to kill time, but still have three hours to go. I growl in frustration and tap my fingers onto the counter. I call Mother, Missy and Meemaw!

"Hey Moonpie." I hear Meemaw's voice.

"Hello Meemaw. I just got off the phone with Mother and Missy."

She chuckles "Miss us already?"

"Well yes but that is not why. Penny is at work and I have found myself extremely… bored."

She laughs, "When does she get off?"

"7:30! I still have two hours and 36 minutes to wait!"

"Why don't you clean?"

"I already have! I've cleaned this apartment top to bottom and reorganized my comics. I have also showered and talked to you three. I have no idea what to do next!"

"Why don't you watch a movie?"

I blush "I can't."

"Why not?"

"Penny won't be beside me."

She giggles, "If you were ever unsure of your feelings for her, this would tell you ya love her!"

I sigh "But I must be able to function when she is not around! She cannot go to work with me! I cannot go to work with her!"

"You'll get used to be away from her. Just try to find some way to occupy yourself. Like one of those mind games you like."

"That is a good idea Meemaw."

"Thanks sweetie, now I'm tired so goodnight."

"Night Meemaw Love you."

"Love you too sweetie."

I get online and play Sudoku until Penny arrives. I hear keys jingling in the hallway. My eyes widen and I run out of the apartment.

"PENNY!"

She jumps and drops her purse. I blush and pick it up for her, muttering an apology.

"Everything ok Sheldon?"

I nod "Sorry again. I've just been very bored."

She smiles and opens her door "Next time, you have permission to clean my apartment."

I nod "I had considered it but did not wish to visit a proctologist, or general surgeon."

She laughs, making me smile.

"Hey Sheldon?"

"Yes Penny?"

"Do you mind if we sleep here tonight? I'm starting to miss apartment and since I may end up moving soon…"

I nod "That is acceptable Penny."

She nods "Great."

"What activities are you engaging in tonight?"

She shrugs "I dunno, but I may hang out with my Nerdy boyfriend, and his friends." She smiles "What do we do on Thursday's?"

"Well, as it is anything can happen Thursday, that means that my Nerdy Friends will have other than scheduled plan, so I am unsure."

She nods "Hmm. Well you and I could do something."

I nod "But I thought you wanted our first date to be the Star Trek movie?"

She nods "Well yes, but it could also make a great second date?"

"I agree but…" I blush "I have no idea what to do. A date at a cinema, requires minimum social skills, and I can do that!"

She pulls me into a hug "It's fine. We already know each other, so you don't have to worry."

I nod "What would you like to do?"

She shrugs "You decide."

I bite my lip "Penny, and this is in no way an attempt to insult you, but as you have more experience with dating I believe it would be best if you picked our activity."

She smiles "Sheldon you have an IQ of 187! Can you really be thwarted by something as simple as a first date?" her smiles is now a grin."

I smile "Thwarted, impressive. Alright but if this does not go well, I informed you thusly."

"Sorry, honey… you what?"

"Informed you thusly, meaning I told you so."

She nods "Gotcha."

I look down at my feet "I need to go… research date ideas…."

She giggles "Alright I'll get ready!"

I nod and rush back over to the apartment.

"Find Penny?"

I nod "Yes. And I'm actually giving in to Anything Can Happen Thursday! Penny and I are going to go on our first date!" I open my laptop and quickly click on Internet Explorer.

"Wow. Are you nervous?"

I nod "Very much so."

"Hmm. What ideas have you got?"

I go to and type in "First Date Ideas"

I look up at Leonard "As of yet, zero."

He nods "How about a movie?"

"That is going to be our second date, she got tickets to the Newest Star Trek that I missed."

"Wow. How about just dinner at a good restaurant?"

I shake my head "That is too… typical."

He shrugs "Well good luck with that, I'm going to see a movie with Stephanie."

I nod "Very well have fun."

I look and find very few things helpful. After deciding I smile and get dressed. Until now, I have never been at a loss of what to wear. I simply put something on. Now though, I am very unsure. I frown and text the only person with the slightest chance at helping me.

"Hello Wolowitz Could you assist me in ideas of what to wear on a date?"

"With Penny? Casual."

"Examples please?"

"Jeans and a nice shirt."

"Jeans? I do not believe I have any blue jeans."

"Then one of your khakis what ever. Just not pinstriped. And try to wear a shirt that has NERD written all over it."

"Thank you…. I need to go shopping though."

"Welcome."

I search through my drawer and closet. I find the pair of Blue Jeans my mother sent me for Christmas one year. I set them on the bed and look for an acceptable shirt. Batman Shirt. Spiderman Shirt. Superman Shirt. The Flash Shirt. The Green Lantern Shirt. I sigh and find one in the back. It is a blue horizontal-stripped T-shirt. I take it off of the hanger and set it onto the bed as well. I change my clothing and become more nervous.

What if Penny does not like my idea for a date?

I walk out of my room and wash my hands, because my palms are sweating and frankly I don't like it. Leonard looks me up and down.

"You have jeans?"

"It would appear so."

"You look nice."

"Thank you Leonard."

He nods "So where are you going?"

"Well." I blush "It sounds quite silly."

He smiles "Come one, tell me!"

I nod "Very well… There is a playground a couple blocks away and it has a fantastic view of the stars…" I blush more.

He nods "Impressive."

"And I thought we should eat but before or after?"

"Before, so you don't have to rush stargazing."

I nod "Excellent point. Thank you Leonard."

He nods "You're welcome."

I grab my jacket and go over to Penny's.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

She opens the door with a smile. I gasp. She looks even more beautiful than usual! She is wearing a long black skirt with a dark purple top. She gasps also.

"Jeans look very handsome on you Sheldon!"

I blush "Thank you."

She smiles and pulls me into a hug. I bend down and kiss her lips. She kisses back with equal pressure. Feeling a bit brave, I decide to explore her mouth. Our tongues meet as I hear a loud whistle.

I turn around and see Leonard halfway out of the apartment. Penny and I blush.

"You kids have a good night." Leonard grins.

We just nod in response as he locks the door.

"What have you and Stephanie got planned?" Penny asks.

"Well we're going to eat and then a movie, you two?"

Penny looks over at me "I have no idea."

"We are also going to eat and please don't pressure me to tell you what we'll do after I'm trying to surprise you."

She nods "Alright." We walk down the first flight of stairs.

"Penny, where would you like to eat?" I ask, realizing that I hadn't figured that part out.

"I'm not sure…"

Leonard cuts in and saves me "How about you two eat dinner with Stephanie and I and then we can go our separate ways?"

Penny nods "That works."

I nod and mouth "Thank you!" to Leonard who nods in response.

We follow him to Stephanie's house and then to The Red Dragon, a Chinese restaurant. It is a Buffet so we do not have to wait long to get our food. Penny and I pick up our plates and go to the buffet. I get sweet and sour chicken, rice, and wonton soup Penny gets random types of chicken, rice and a salad. We sit down beside each other. And begin to eat. We were not given chopsticks. My immediate course of action is to ask for some and if they do not agree, complain to the manager. But, I decide against this, as I do not wish to make Penny annoyed, so I eat with a fork. Leonard and Stephanie take their seats as well.

"So Sheldon, have you resolved the inner ear issue?" Stephanie smiles.

I nod "Yes. It has gone away…" I look over at Penny "How was your day?"

She smiles "Well work was…work. But I got to come home to my amazing boyfriend and here we are."

I smile as I chew the rice.

"So Sheldon is really human?" Stephanie asks.

"So the doctors say." Penny smiles at me.

"I could just be made to look like humans."

Leonard nods "That's true. Aliens may have that technology."

"And they could have put the alien egg into your mother." Stephanie agrees.

"All possible but if I weren't human, I wouldn't be subjected to love." I look over at Penny "Not that I regret it."

She smiles "Ditto."

After we finish eating we say goodbye to Stephanie and Leonard and get back into Penny's car.

"Alright where am I going?"

"Go left."

"Ok…"

I give her directions and when we arrive she smiles "The park?"

I nod nervously.

We get out of the car as she throws up her hair "Where first?"

"Swings?"

We walk to the swing and she sits down I push her back lightly to make her swing. I sit in the swing beside her and begin to swim, using gravity and my weight. She giggles and blows me a kiss. I smile and get up from the swing. I stand in front of her as she swings towards me. She gasps, thinking that she will accidentally hit me. I smile and as she draws near I grab the chains on each side of the swing she is sitting upon and pull her into a kiss. She kisses back, surprised at first. I pull away with a smile and release her, watching her swing backwards. She stops the swing and gets up. She walks over to me and pulls me into a hug.

"I ah, wanted to show you the stars and I thought we'd have fun here as well."

She smiles "I love you Sheldon!"

I kiss the top of her head "I love you too."

We walk over to the merry-go-round. We take turns spinning each other. Then she tells me to hold on. She holds the metal bars and runs with it in a circle. Then she proceeds to jump on. I gasp in fear that she will fall and get hurt. She just grins and moves closer to me. I pull her hand into mine and smile at her.

When it begins to slow we lie on our backs and stare at the stars.

"They're so beautiful!" Penny smiles.

I kiss her cheek "Yes you are."

She giggles, "If you were wondering, excellent first date."

I smile "That is what I aimed for."

I point out the many constellations and point out which are actually planets and such. She smiles and pays attention, as if she is actually interested, whether or not she truly is, I do not know. After I am finished I hug her tightly as we sit on the merry-go-round. She hugs back and lays her head onto my chest. I stroke my fingers through her hair and smile. She looks up.

"You are definitely human."

I smile "How so?"

"Your heartbeat."

"My heartbeat?"

She nods "Sounds just like a human's. I don't think Aliens could copy that."

I smile again "I believe you are correct."

She smiles and kisses my cheek "I'm getting smarter every day!"

I nod "That you are."

She smiles "Would you love me even if I were stupid."

I smile "You being stupid isn't a possibility, but assuming it was I believe I would just have to smarten you up, because there are many things about you that I enjoy and I refuse to let them all go for one nonexistent flaw."

She grins and pulls me into a kiss. I kiss back, adding tongue and this time we are left alone to continue our kissing.

We arrive back home and I go to my apartment to get pajamas and pillows. I change and carry my pillows.

"Sleeping over at Penny's?" Leonard asks, walking into the door.

I nod "Indeed. She has become homesick."

He nods "So… Stephanie and I talked about moving in together."

I stiffen "And what has been decided."

He licks his lip nervously "I'm moving out next week."

My eyes widen "Next week? You said months, not days!"

He nods "And I'm sorry about that."

I sigh, "Nothing I say or do will put a stop to this, so I sincerely hope that it all works out to your liking. Now, I am tired so if you will excuse me."

He nods and moves aside so I can walk to Penny's.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Penny."

She opens the door with a smile and a nightdress "Well Fancy seeing you here!"

I chuckle as she lets me inside. I yawn rather loudly on accident and blush when she giggles. We go into her room and she clears off her many CareBears and Beanie Babies from the bed. She lays down on one side and smiles at me. I lay beside her and kiss her forehead.

"Goodnight Sheldon." She hugs me.

"Goodnight Penny." I hug back.
