A/N Helloooooooo~! Did yah miss me? First thing's first: I'm really, really sorry for not updating in a while. It seems like forever ago that I wrote for the BBT. I have a long list of excuses, the main two being that we found out my sister has epilepsy (so now I'll know what I'm talking about when it comes to Sheldon's seizure) and I got a bit addicted to Hetalia (pasta, anyone?) So yeaahhhh. ;) Oh, and school started! And Doctor Who, too!

Anyways, sorry if everyone's OOC. It's been forever since I saw the show or wrote for this… But still, here's the chapter you should have gotten forever ago~!

"So," Anne started after a long sigh, "you've gotta take an assortment of pain medication, ranging from burns to cuts to your knee to the surgery you went through," she paused again and counted that up on her fingers.

"Yes. And really, God knows what that'll do to me," Sheldon frowned.

"And then you've got the meds that'll make yah heal faster, so that's a total of five pill bottles to take home!" Anne gave her cousin a fake smile before continuing, "Then we've gotta do some shit with that shoulder of yours," she pointed at it. He glared at it.

"How am I supposed to write on my grease board with this?" he motioned at it and Anne rolled her eyes. Of course that's all he cared about.

"I dunno, Shelly. You'll think of something, I'm sure." She glanced down at her watch and frowned. "The nurse should be in here by now."

"I swear, Anne. This hospital must have a policy about moving slow; first they're half an hour late to give me pain medicine, next they wait until I'm in here for days before we see a doctor, they never give dinner when I tell them to, and now the nurse is late just to tell us about my random seizure! You'd think they were all snails or something!" Sheldon exclaimed with a huff.

Anne was a bit taken aback by his outburst and she didn't even realize that her glasses had fallen to the tip of her nose. They slipped completely off and onto her lap, where they slid down and off her knee before she could stop them. They hit the ground with a rather loud clank and she cringed. "Dammit," she muttered as she peered down at the floor. She didn't see them. Shit, where'd they go? she asked herself and pushed herself out of her chair. She got down on her hands and knees and looked under Sheldon's bed, where she found them taunting her all the way in the corner. How her glasses could get all the way back there was beyond her.

"Anne, what are you doing?" Sheldon called when she was almost completely under the bed.

"Getting my… Glasses…" she reached as far as she could and her fingers finally came into contact with the black frames. She put them on her face triumphantly and began pulling herself out from under the bed. When she was almost out, she heard the door to Sheldon's room open. Someone stepped in.

"Mister Coo-"

"DOCTOR!" she corrected. "Jesus Christ, he's a doctor! How many times do I need to tell you hospital people that?!" Anne said angrily from under the bed.

"And who might you be?" she heard the voice ask. She pushed herself out from under the bed fully and up onto her hands and knees again. She was still facing away from the owner of the voice, so she turned herself around, only to come face-to-face with a pair of khaki-wearing legs. She craned her neck and looked up at the person she was talking to. God, he was tall.

"I'm his cousin!" she exclaimed and began to pull herself up. He offered her help, but she refused it. She didn't need Mr. Tall Person's help, she needed him to tell her what the hell was wrong with Shelly.

"Well, er, anyways," the nurse said. This made Anne snicker on the inside. Ha, made yah discombobulated! she thought triumphantly. She loved messing with big important people for some reason. It was like it reminded them that she could be big and pushy, too.

"I'm here to explain what's wrong with Dr. Cooper," the nurse guy said, then looked at Anne, who nodded in approval.

"Get on with it," Sheldon-who had been remarkably quiet until then-cut in. "Friggin' snail…" he said under his breath. The nurse didn't seem to notice, but Anne did, causing her to smile a little.

"Right," Mr. Nurse Person said. "Luckily, Dr. Cooper, you won't have to have an MRI or an EEG. The seizure you experienced was caused by a sensory overload to your brain. When you woke up and remembered everything, it was basically too much for your brain to handle. So, you won't have to worry about epilepsy or anything."

"Well, it seems that's one of the very few things that aren't wrong with me…" Sheldon muttered.

"At least you didn't have any broken bones," the tall nurse told him a but impatiently. Sheldon didn't respond, but Anne could tell he was thinking something like 'yeah, yeah, whatever. Just go away.'

"Is that all?" Anne asked for her cousin. Mr. Nurse nodded and said good day before leaving.

"Well he was pleasant," Anne said sarcastically.

"Not really," Sheldon replied, not noticing the sarcasm. "Have you talked to Penny recently?" he asked. She grinned. Sheldon was asking about Penny! How cute!

"I had to when I got your laptop. She said she wished you could go back to your apartment already."

"Ah." That's all he said.

"Oh, come on, Shelly!" Anne whined and fell back into her chair in defeat.

"What?" he asked, a little alarmed by her dramatic fall.

"That's all you're gonna say about her? Sheldon, you kissed her! You kissed her. And that's all you're gonna say?"

"What else would I say?" he asked, still clueless. She rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively.

"Never mind…" Lord help him when he gets out of this hospital and actually goes on a date with her, Anne thought.

"You know, everyone freaked out when they saw you," Penny said into her cell phone.

"What do you mean?" Sheldon asked. It was past visiting hours, so Penny's only way to communicate with the physicist was through phone.

"When you were still knocked out from all those drugs and everyone saw you for the first time!" Penny told him, and sat down on her couch.

"Why would they 'freak out' when they saw me?" he asked. She rolled her eyes.

"You were in a car accident, Sheldon." No response. "You're covered in scratched and cuts!" she finally exclaimed.

"Oh…" he fell silent again. "I am?"

"Sheldon, are you saying you haven't looked in a mirror since you got to that hospital?"

"That's precisely what I'm saying, Penny," he told her. She felt her face meet her palm.

"Leave it to you," she muttered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked defensively.

"Oh, nothing. Look, why don't you just ask one of the nurses to bring you a mirror?"

"Okay." Penny was a bit surprised that he didn't find some reason to argue. She heard him ask one of the nurses, and then a 'thank you.' Apparently someone was getting one.

"Good Lord!" Sheldon exclaimed suddenly. Scratch that, apparently someone gave him a mirror. "I look like I was attacked by a rabid animal!" Sheldon said. Penny laughed; she could so see Sheldon's shocked face. It was hilarious even if it was just in her head.

"Oh, sweetie! It's really not that bad now!" she told him reassuringly.

"You mean it was worse before?"

"No, well. Yeah, but-"

"Oh, god! What are you saying?"

Now Penny was cracking up. Never before had she seen him this upset about what he looked like. "Calm down!" she said between laughs. "What, are you afraid that you won't get respect from people at the university if you're covered in scrapes and scars?" she asked teasingly.

"How many highly respected scientists have you seen that look like I do now?" he replied.

"Well, none, but-"

"Exactly."

"Sheldon, sweetie, just be glad you're okay. You could've died in that accident. Then you'd have no respect from any scientists, 'cause you'd be dead. Just be thankful you're alive. I am."

"I guess you're right," he admitted.

"Of course I am. I'm always right!"

"That's debatable."

"Shut up!" she said half-heartedly. God, she missed him.

A/N okay, so that's it! Sorry again if it wasn't that good or if characters weren't in character. I've been role playing for like, four days straight, so when I talk it always sounds funny. I was afraid I would accidentally use my America accent from Hetalia while I was writing ^^ LOL! (if you haven't seen that show, you should totally check it out!)

Anywho, hopefully I'll update again soon, but with all the crazy stuff going on in my life right now I can't guarantee anything…

Anyways, thanks for being patient, luv y'all!
