"There's the lucky man who just celebrated his engagement!" Leonard said with a smile as Sheldon walked into the kitchen in his pajamas. "By the way, you have to soundproof your room again because I could barely sleep last night."

"Oh, sorry." Sheldon told him. "So, beside that, what do you plan to do about Rosie's new boyfriend. Because I believe that we are all in agreement when I say that that guy is first rate scrum of the earth who gives guys a bad name."

Leonard frowned for a second before trying to hide it at the mention of Rosie's boyfriend. He tried to focus on his own doubts with Penny, but his protective older brother instincts were too strong. He couldn't stop thinking about who she was dating and what kind of person he was.

"I don't want to talk about it." Leonard told him.

"Do you know him or something?" Sheldon asked, but a quick glare from Leonard made him reluctantly sigh in defeat. "Fine. We'll talk about something else."

"Thank you." Leonard told him. "So, how do you want to celebrate your engagement?"

"Uhh, I think I just did." Sheldon said with a proud grin.

"I need to get my own place." Leonard grumbled as Sheldon went to get his breakfast. "I can't take much more of you two."


"Is something wrong Leonard?" Roberts asked her patient.

"Yes there is!." Leonard told her. "I can't believe that she's dating him of all people."

"Who is dating who?" Roberts asked.

"Rosie!" Leonard told her. "My sister from that other place! I swear, it is taking all my willpower not to tear that bastard to pieces due to how he spoke to her.

"So, anything new recently?" Long asked.

"Well, there is something with Sheldon." Leonard replied, trying to put his own problems out of his mind. "He's finally proposed to Katie, and she said yes."

"Is everyone excited?"

"Definitely. I think Gilda nearly had a heart attack when she learned the news. She's always loved weddings." Leonard told him. "So I don't have to worry about the wedding not happening. Now that the have agreed to get married, Gilda will force Katie and Sheldon to say I do, at gunpoint if she has to."

"Really?"

"She takes weddings very seriously."

"But who is she dating?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you! But I want to kill the bastard!" Leonard shouted. "And before you even think it, no I am not going to kill anyone!"

"I wasn't actually thinking about that until you mentioned it." Roberts muttered. "But seriously, who is she dating?"

"Look, can we just talk about something else please?"

"Okay. How is your arm doing without the arm sling?"

"Good." Leonard told her. "So now that's out of the way, get to what you wanted to actually say."

"You're grumpier than before, aren't you?" Roberts noted. "Is it because we don't have that many sessions left?"

"No. I mean, I guess I am a bit impatient to leave. Why is that Leonard?" Roberts asked.

"Because there was never any reason for me to be here other than the fact the university was making me." Leonard told Roberts.

"No reason? How can you say that." Long questioned. "Leonard, I highly recommend that you seem help with your problem. It isn't healthy."

"Okay, I have two things to say to that. One: there are way crazier people in the world walking free than me." Leonard said. "And two: anyone who knows what we're saying in our session doesn't actually believe what I'm saying is the truth."

"What do you mean?" Roberts asked him.

"I mean, people think I'm saying all this just to pass the time and because the university is making me." Leonard explained. "Even tell people in charge think that's what I'm doing and would have stopped it ages ago if recent health protocols didn't demand me to go through this."

"Leonard, to have to listen to me." his therapist told him firmly. "Your condition is unhealthy and potentially dangerous."

"Yeah, well, until I go so crazy I get a very inaccurate film based on my life where I'm played by an actor who is much better looking than me, I'm going to have to disagree with you." Leonard replied.


"So was work good?" Leonard asked as the two sat eating their dinner on the sofa.

"Yeah, it was good." Penny replied without looking at him, looking at her phone while feeding herself bits of food.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" Leonard continued. "After all, it is important to have a job that you enjoy."

"Yep. That's great." Penny answered, causing Leonard to look at her in confusion, before deciding to check.

"Well I had a great day at work.. We did a pretty cool experiment where we mutated a huntsman spider into a Godzilla sized monster with a desire to steal wannabe actresses and climb buildings to defeat a robot." Leonard replied.

"Cool."

"Then me and Sheldon went to a strip club and became good friends with your ex Kurt, who works as a bouncer there now." Leonard continued. "After we got married to a bunch of strippers in Vegas and used a time machine to meet famous people in history, we came back to learn that our actions led to the death of Charlie Sheen."

"Wait, what!?" Penny asked in shock, looking away from her phone for the first time since she got home. "Charlie Sheen is dead?!"

"No he isn't. I was just seeing if you were paying attention. I figured that if you weren't, the only thing you would hear would be the death of one of your favourite actors." Leonard told her. "So what are you looking at on your phone?"

"Nothing." Penny answered, quickly putting her phone away.

"Penny, please." Leonard begged. "Tell me what's bothering you."

She didn't answer and reluctantly the two sat there, eating in awkward silence. Eventually however, Penny began to speak, much to Leonard's relief.

"I was researching what you told me. You know, about your dreams." Penny told him. "Trying to see if there had been anything else like it "

"And has there been?" Leonard asked, though he already knew the answer.

"No, there hasn't." Penny answered. "Can I ask you something."

"Sure."

"Well, some of the stuff you told me just didn't make sense." Penny said. "For instance, how can there be no accident related deaths anymore. That's just too impossible."

"Well, maybe I should have explained that better." Leonard admitted. "And I might have exaggerated a bit because at the time, you seemed to think that other place was some kind of hell. But I did do some research once, and those kind of deaths are just less likely. In the last ten years, there have been about sixty-four percent less accident related deaths in the other world than this one. Seriously, the information you would need is all on the internet. All I had to do was compare the information here to the information there."

"How is that possible?"

"Well, it's like what I told you about technology. It's more advanced. I mean, machines can check all the things people need to check much better than people can. It's like every technological mistake or problem people have experienced in this world never happened in the other, so everything is a bit better. I can't give a better explanation than that. I mean, it's like how is Justin Bieber so popular in both worlds? I will never know."

"But Leonard, everything about those dreams just seem so unbelievable. I don't understand how you can be so unsure over which world is real. It's why I-" Penny quickly stopped herself, her eyes widening as she realized that she had said too much.

"That's why you what?" Leonard asked.

"That's why I started calling some professionals. To see if any of them have heard of anything like this." Penny whispered. Leonard stared at her for a few seconds, before putting his food down and going to the door.

"I need to take a walk." Leonard said before opening the door and leaving the apartment.


Leonard walked out of the elevator, two bags of groceries in each hand. He was currently very excited for his and Sheldon's plans to go to the cinema to see Spider-Man 7, the first of the Sam Raimi to take place in the MCU due to the deal between Sony and Marvel. Unlike in the digital, Raimi's Spider-Man is still as successful as ever, though the sixth film was not as good, though not bad enough to end the franchise. So Tobey Maguire is still the wall crawling hero, though they have moved the character to the MCU through a dimensional portal. But Leonard and Sheldon were so excited to see it, as both knew that the next few months will limit the amount of time they can spend together. After all, Sheldon and Katie will be busy planning their wedding.

"Oh, hey Leonard." Rosie said as she walked out of her apartment, her boyfriend with her.

"Oh hi Rosie." Leonard said to her, before looking at the boyfriend. "Hi Dennis."

"Hey Leonard." Dennis Kim said with a nod.

"Dennis, would you mind waiting in the car. I need to speak to my brother in private." Rosie asked Dennis.

"Okay, but hurry up. You don't want to make me late for the presentation do you." Dennis replied before heading to the elevator after Rosie had nodded. After he was in the elevator, Rosie glared at Leonard.

"Okay, what is your problem?"

"I don't have a problem." Leonard lied.

"Yes you do. You were acting weird last night." she argued.

"Okay, look." Leonard eventually said in defeat. "You know how I like to avoid getting involved in your love life?"

"Yes, and I've been very thankful for that." Rosie replied.

"Well, I'm afraid I have to get involved because the guy," Leonard told her as he gestured towards the elevator, "is so far the worst boyfriend you've ever had."

"What?"

"Throughout the whole night, all he did was talk down to you and be ungrateful." Leonard told her. "I mean, I thought that biker guy was the worse, but Dennis makes that guy seem like a saint. He never spoke down to you."

"Leonard I love Dennis and you have no right to talk to me about this." Rosie told him. "And how does Dennis make a drug dealer seem like the better option."

"Because that guy actually cared about you despite all his bad qualities. And I believe I have every right when my sister starts to date someone as controlling as that, someone who starts nearly every sentence giving an example of when you made a mistake or blaming you for something!" Leonard argued. "Everyone agreed. Sheldon, Katie and Gilda all had the same opinion as me."

"Well, none of you have the right to tell me who I should date. Jesus, your starting to sound like our mother." Rosie said, before walking off.

"Rosie, don't leave. Please, can we just talk?" Leonard said, but it was too late. She quickly dashed down the stairs, leaving Leonard behind.


Ok, some bad news. Due to a technical problem, some of my plans for this fanfic have been lost. That will teach me not to leave everything stored on one thing. Because I don't think I will have time to plan everything again and because I don't want to risk leaving this fanfic unfinished, here's what's going to happen. If there are any characters or events you desperately want to see in the analog or digital, start telling me so I can do chapters with them because all I remember is what I planned for the final few chapters. So basically, I plan to start wrapping this story up by getting the stuff you want to see done before working on the final few chapters, which will focus on only Leonard personally and not so much on his relationship with the other characters. Also, the final chapters will be more sci-fi, and possibly more action like, than the previous chapters, so anyone not interested in that might not enjoy it. Also, I'm afraid that because of some personal stuff I won't have as much time as I do now to work on this, so it might take longer for me to do updates. I apologise. Anyway, in case no one remembers the character, Dennis Kim is a minor character who served as Sheldon's rival for an episode. I originally intended for it to be someone else, with there being some chapters about the character, but because of what happened with all my plans I changed it.
