Author's Note: And now the fun can really begin. I'm sorry for falling off a bit. There's an oppressive heat wave going on, keeping me confined to bed unless I'm at work. Also, I was backing up my fics in case I get Purged and then, my muses were attacked by Fairly Legal Ben/Kate bunnies. I've taken on a what will be will be attitude towards FFN and if I get axed, I already 3 backup archives established. I'll be sure to provide the links on my profile soon. Enjoy the update.

There was a warm hand on her back, moving up and down slowly, as if it was memorizing her. Snuffling, she could scent dry erase markers, baby powder, and Irish Spring. Sheldon. Her best friend, Sheldon. Her favorite Whack-a-doodle in the whole world Sheldon…
Her boyfriend Sheldon.
Penny yawned and turned over onto her back. Sheldon was sitting on the edge of the mattress, the pajama set from Raj slightly wrinkled from his slumber. His baby blues were soft and warm, riveted on her face. She sat up and was delighted when he took her hand of his own volition.
I guess my germs are worth the risk…
"Hi, sweetie."
"Good morning, Penny. Did you have a restful sleep?"
"Very. I had a good dream. You were in it."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh. I don't remember details but I remember you being in it."
He looked away and after a minute confessed shyly, "I had a good dream with you in it, too. We were…I'm not exactly sure where we were. Well, it was a sunny field of multiple species of wildflowers and we were sharing a portable whiteboard. Everything we wrote turned into butterflies and unfortunately I woke up just when you were about to kiss me."
"Oh. That's really sweet."
"We were also naked."
Sweet spice, then.
"Did I look good?" she asked impishly.
A more than a little naughty gleam entered his gaze and she swallowed dryly as his eyes roamed up and down her body. She was used to roaming eyes. They had been a fact of life since 7th grade but Sheldon's roaming eyes were different. Sure, there was an innocent form of lust in them but they remained soft, even as they became a darker shade of blue. He wasn't just looking at another hot blonde on the street. He was looking at her.
"You looked exquisite, Penelope." he informed her with a bit of honeyed twang. "You always do."
And then he kissed her. Morning breath, pre-every morning ritual he had (sans his morning appointment with the can…), he was kissing her good… and was that his tongue? Oh yes, it was. A very nice tongue, kinda shy but that could be worked with…
"Oh…aw, jeez. I was hoping y'all would end up like that but could ya not do it where I can see you?"
Penny put her free hand on her hip and gave a sleepy Missy a quintessential sassy look. She had a Raj spooned up on her in a cotton nightie that barely reached her ass and she had the nerve to say something about them? What the hell? Okay…maybe it was a little weird. After all, her "asexual" twin had just gone from zero to first base (with a little bit of second…) with no hesitation and…okay, she had a point…
"We will endeavor not to offend your delicate sensibilities in the future. Need I remind you about the ban Mother put upon fornicatin' in the house, Melissa?" Sheldon returned fire with a perfectly raised Spock brow, leaning into her hand on his cheek.
"According to G.J., y'all are the ones who need remindin'. He woke me up outta a dead sleep to tell me you two were goin' at it like pigeons before Momma put the kibosh on it. I thought he was bullshittin' me until now. Penny, you hurt my brother and I'll break your face."
"If you hurt Raj, I'll break yours."
"Deal. Man, I gotta piss like a racehorse."
Turning as best she could, Missy faced Raj with a small smile and promptly confirmed that she really was Sheldon's sister.
Shake, shake, shake… "Rajesh?"
Shake, shake, shake… "Rajesh?"
Shake, shake, shake… "Rajesh?"
"Mmph?"
"Baby, I have to pee and I really don't wanna do it on you."
Raj grumbled under his breath and let her loose, turning onto his back groggily.
"…was I having an auditory hallucination or were Sheldon and Penny just totally making out a couple of minutes ago?"
"No, they really were."
"Oh. Howard owes me money."
And back into the clutches of Morpheus he went.
All Penny could do was laugh.
