Chapter 2

Ding ding ding! Good Morning! Ding ding ding!

' What the hell is that?!', Sheldon thought as he was suddenly awoken the next morning by some peppy, hippy dippy ringtone alarm that belched out from Meghann's cell phone sitting on the nightstand between the two beds. As he sat up in the bed and turned his head toward Meghann, he saw her rise to a sitting position in her bed, grabbing her phone off the nightstand ceasing the alarm and stretching her arms before turning her head toward him with a soft smile saying, " Good morning Dr. Cooper."

" Good morning Meghann. Explain to me what kind of alarm is that!", Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at her.

" Oh you mean the Good Morning ringtone on my phone?", Meghann asked.

" Yes. Why is that your alarm clock?", Sheldon asked.

" Because it's energetic and I like it. It's a good way to start the day.", Meghann said.

" Well I'm sorry, but, I must tell you that I find that ringtone completely obnoxious.", Sheldon said.

" Well then I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.", Meghann said.

" What in the name of Einstein is that supposed to mean?", Sheldon asked.

" It's… never mind. I'm going to go get the first aid kit again. Don't move Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said as she got up from her bed and left the room. As she came back moments later carrying the first aid kit and placed it on the nightstand Sheldon said, " I still don't like the fact that you keep insisting on touching me."

" Excuse me, but, weren't you the one who said in the agreement that we both signed that we're to take care of each other if we get sick or injured?", Meghann asked as she began removing Sheldon's old bandages from his left hand and head.

" Yes, but, that was more benificial to me.", Sheldon said. He gritted his teeth in pain as Meghann was gently dabbing his wounds with a cotton ball dipped in Peroxide.

" Yeah, well, I'm the one who took you into my house and you're sitting here injured. So, as it says in the agreement, I'm required to take care of you.", Meghann said as she began applying new bandages to Sheldon's wounds.

" I suppose you're right.", Sheldon said.

" I am right because you're the one who said it.", Meghann said giving him a smile.

" Ok.", Sheldon said.

" Come on, let's go downstairs. I think my mom is in the kitchen making breakfast. Do you think you can make it down the stairs on your own or do you want me to help you?", Meghann asked.

" I can do it.", Sheldon said as he shook his head.

" Ok. But, here, let me at least help you stand.", Meghann said as she gently took Sheldon's hands and pulled him up to his feet.

" Thank you.", Sheldon said as he slowly walked across the floor and followed Meghann out of the bedroom. However, as he tried to descend the stairs his footing became a little wobbly which made him almost fall nearly taking Meghann down with him.

" You alright?", Meghann asked as she looked at him.

" Yes, I'm just having a little trouble with my footing is all.", Sheldon said as he continued to try walking down the stairs but was finding it kind of difficult with the way that his legs were threatening to give out on him.

" Can you please help me Meghann?", Sheldon asked as he stared at Meghann.

" Sure Dr. Cooper.", Meghann said as she gently slung his arm over her shoulders and wrapped one of her arms around his waist. The two of them slowly made the rest of the way down the stairs.

" My legs feel weak.", Sheldon said.

" I can see that, but, don't worry I got you. Let's go have some breakfast and then after a while you can go take a nap ok.", Meghann said.

" I have to work!", Sheldon stated.

" That can wait until later. You'll be able to focus more after a little more rest.", Meghann said.

" This is ridiculous! I'm a grown man! I don't need this!", Sheldon protested.

" Well as I said to you yesterday, it's either that or you get the pill.", Meghann said.

" I think I'll just listen to you.", Sheldon said with a defeated sigh.

" Thank you.", Meghann said as they walked into the kitchen.

" Good morning.", Mrs. Brissette said as she stood at the stove making breakfast.

" Morning mom. What are you making?", Meghann asked her mother.

" Scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast.", Mrs. Brissette said as she stirred up the eggs in the frying pan and turned over the bacon using a fork.

" Sounds good. Morning dad.", Meghann said before saying good morning to her father who was sitting at the kitchen table with his morning coffee doing a crossword puzzle.

" Good morning Meghann.", Mr. Brissette said as he looked up at his daughter.

" What are you doing over there?", Meghann asked as she grabbed a carton of orange juice out of the fridge.

" Having my morning coffee and doing a crossword puzzle.", Mr. Brissette said as he sipped his coffee.

" Of course you are dad because that's what you do every morning.", Meghann said as she rolled her eyes and poured herself a glass of orange juice.

" Good morning mom, good morning dad!", Brian said to his parents as he walked into the kitchen. He then looked at his sister and said, " Good morning murder victim!" with a stupid smirk on his face.

' Who the hell calls their sister a murder victim when she's not even dead?!', Sheldon thought as his eyes widened in confusion.

" Hardy har har, very funny Brian!", Meghann sarcastically said as she rolled her eyes at her brother.

" Brian, please don't make jokes like that to your sister!", Mrs. Brissette scolded her 21 year old son.

" I was just kidding mom! Jesus Christ!", Brian interjected at his mother.

" Hey, I don't want to hear that out of your mouth! That's really disrespectful!", Mrs. Brissette scolded.

' Good Lord! Mrs. Brissette sounds exactly like my mother!', Sheldon thought.

" Yeah you pigheaded dork!", Meghann laughed.

" Meghann!", Brian shot back at his sister.

" Alright that's enough Meghann and Brian! Show some maturity here! You two are 18 and 21, act like it!", Mr. Brissette scolded his two children.

" Sorry dad.", Meghann said as she hung her head in shame. Then she asked, " And really Brian?! Murder victim?! That is so lame!"

" Meghann, your father said to knock it off!", Mrs. Brissette scolded her daughter as she dumped the eggs into a bowl and placed it on the table along with the bacon and toast.

" Alright, I'll cut it out.", Meghann said as she sat down at the table with her juice. Sheldon sat down next to her folding his hands into his lap.

" Alright, I'll cut it out!", Brian mocked his sister as he sat down at the table.

" Brian!", Meghann interjected as she jerked her head toward her brother.

" Alright you know what, the next time one of you says something to the other cleans Cali's litter box!", Mr. Brissette scolded as he stabbed his fork into the eggs.

" Ew, gross!", Brian interjected as he scrunched his face in disgust.

" Oh shut up Brian! Picking up one little piece of cat crap is not going to kill you!", Meghann said as she rolled her eyes.

" You're the one to talk Meghann!", Brian shot back.

" Shut up!", Meghann shot back.

" Alright that's it! Brian go clean the cat litter!", Mr. Brissette scolded.

" Aw come on dad! Why do I have to do it?! She's the one who said something!", Brian protested as he pointed at his sister trying to put the blame on her.

" I don't care! Go clean it!", Mr. Brissette scolded his son.

" Fine, whatever!", Brian hissed as he excused himself from the table. Then he snapped, " Thanks for nothing Meghann!" as he stormed out of the kitchen to the den.

" You have a cat?", Sheldon asked as he looked at Meghann.

" Yeah, her name's Cali. She's a domesticated Calico. She's very sweet but sometimes she can be very fiesty.", Meghann said.

" Meow!"

" Oh, and speaking of Cali, here she is. Hi Cali.", Meghann said as she looked down at the floor by her feet and saw her pet looking up at her, meowing. Sheldon watched as Meghann picked up Cali and set her on her lap. Cali began rubbing her fur against Meghann's stomach, purring contently.

" Well, she seems to really like you.", Sheldon said.

" She does.", Meghann said as she was petting Cali who arched her back happily. Then Cali waved her paw at Sheldon before making her way over to him.

" Oh, hello.", Sheldon said as he looked down at Cali who was now sitting on his lap meowing at him. She then began rubbing against him, purring just like she did with Meghann.

" Aw, she likes you!", Meghann said with a smile.

" It would appear so.", Sheldon said as he started petting Cali.

" That's the first time she's done that. Usually she's very skittish around new people.", Mr. Brissette said.

" Yeah, you're right dad. That's very shocking.", Meghann said.

" So, Meghann, are you going to introduce us to your new friend?", Mrs. Brissette asked.

" Oh yeah, sorry. Mom, Dad, this is Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Cooper this my mom and my dad.", Meghann said as she gestured her hands back and forth.

" Hello, it's nice to meet you.", Sheldon said.

" Nice to meet you too.", Mr. and Mrs. Brissette said.

" Did you sleep ok?", Mrs. Brissette asked Sheldon.

" Yes I did, thank you. I must say that your daughter seems to really like taking risks.", Sheldon said.

" Yeah and well unfortunately it's a habit that we can't seem to break.", Mr. Brissette said.

" Dad, you and mom both raised me to be a good person! I wasn't just going to leave Dr. Cooper laying in the street unconscious!", Meghann said as she rolled her eyes at her dad.

" Son of a bitch Cali! How much of a mess can one cat make?!"

" Brian Lucas Brissette do not curse in this house!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.

" Aw come on mom! I'm 21 years old!"

" Yes, but, you still live in this house and your father and I don't want to hear that! We hear that come out of your mouth again and you'll be grounded!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.

" Fine, whatever!"

" Don't give me an attitude Brian!", Mrs. Brissette shouted. Then she said to Sheldon, "I'm so sorry that you had to hear that Dr. Cooper."

" That's alright Mrs. Brissette. I've heard a lot of that growing up anyway so I'm used to it.", Sheldon said.

" Your parents fought with each other?", Mr. Brissette asked.

" Yes and I can remember every bit of it.", Sheldon said. Then he raises his voice a little, imitating what his parents said to each other.

" Dammit George, I told you if you didn't quit drinking I'd leave you! Well I guess that makes you a liar because I'm drunk as hell and you're still here! Stop yelling, you're making Sheldon cry! I'll tell you what's making Sheldon cry, that I let you name him SHELDON!", Sheldon interjected in a southern drawl.

" What the frack?! Did they really say that to each other?!", Meghann asked as she began to laugh.

" Yes and it was the most horrible experience of my life.", Sheldon said.

" Well that is really a crappy, horrible childhood memory.", Meghann said.

" Yes it is.", Sheldon said.

After breakfast and getting dressed for the day, Mr. and Mrs. Brissette left for work while Brian left to run some errands leaving Meghann and Sheldon alone at the house with the cat. They decided to watch some tv but then around noon, Sheldon said, " I think I'm going to go lie down for a few hours."

" Ok. Do you want me to help you get up the stairs?", Meghann asked.

" Well, considering what happened this morning that seems the most appropriate. Yes.", Sheldon said. Meghann gently pulled him up to his feet out of the chair, slung one of his arms over her shoulders again and wrapped one of her arms around his waist before slowly walking him out of the living room to the stairs. She walked him up to their bedroom and eased him into his bed. While Sheldon was sleeping, Meghann decided to go clean the kitchen. As she was cleaning surfaces with Thieves essential oil cleaner and humming a catchy tune, she suddenly heard the front door open followed by a voice singing a song that she recognized immediately which echoed from the living room. Meghann knew who the voice belonged to and that was her best friend.

" The mule keeps kickin' the chickens in the pen! Let's rock all night and then do it again! The clock keeps a tickin' and the cock can't win! Let's rock all night and then do it again!"

Meghann walked out into the living room to see her best friend dancing like an idiot around her living room, listening to his ipod and singing the words to Chickens In The Pen by Kid Rock. He was a spitting image of Leonardo Hamato from the 2012 TMNT series and was a little shorter than Meghann.

" Leo?", Meghann asked but received no response because Leo had his headphones on and couldn't hear her. She said his name a little louder but he still didn't hear her so she shouted, " Leo Lemonselly!" but not so loud as to wake up Sheldon. Leo screamed as he whipped his headphones off and looked at Meghann.

" Oh, hey Meghann. I didn't know you were standing there.", Leo said with a stupid smile on his face.

" Dude what are you doing?", Meghann asked as she narrowed her eyes on her hips.

" I'm dancing to and singing Chickens In The Pen by Kid Rock. What does it look like I'm doing Meghann?", Leo asked as he rolled his eyes at his best friend.

" Leo, did you just come into my house without even asking me if you could come over?", Meghann asked in an irritated voice.

" Yeah, I've been doing it for years. You never seemed to mind it.", Leo said.

" Yeah, well, now I kind of do.", Meghann said.

" Why? What's the reason all of a sudden?", Leo asked in confusion.

" Because I have a stranger staying here and he's just starting to get used to me! The last thing that I would want to do is freak him out by allowing another stranger into the house to come and go as he pleases!", Meghann hissed under her breath as she shot her best friend a death glare.

" Dude I'm your best friend!", Leo interjected.

" Yeah well he doesn't know that! To him you're just another stranger! And keep it down, he's taking a nap upstairs!", Meghann hissed under her breath.

" I don't believe you dude! This has to be some kind of prank!", Leo said with a smirk on his face as he walked past Meghann toward the stairs.

" I'm telling you it's not Leo! Get back here before I kick your shell!", Meghann hissed as she followed her best friend up the stairs.

" Oh shut up!", Leo said with a snort as he made his way toward Meghann's room. He opened the door slightly to see the lights off and saw Sheldon sleeping in the spare bed. Then he closed the door and whispered, " Are you freaking kidding me?! Do your mom and dad know about this?!"

" Yes, and they weren't happy about it at first, but, they got over it!", Meghann whispered.

" Well who is that guy?!", Leo whispered as he jerked his thump toward the door.

" His name's Dr. Sheldon Cooper! He's a physicist in the theoretical field!", Meghann whispered.

" Ok and what's a physicist doing at your house?! How did he get here?!", Leo whispered.

" He came here on a train from Pasadena after he broke up with his girlfriend and his friends all abandoned him! I found him laying in the street injured and unconscious yesterday so I brought him back to my house!", Meghann whispered.

" Well how did that happen? How did he get hurt?", Leo whispered.

" Twister Giddeon attacked him and tried to kill him with Dr. Cooper's own firearm!", Meghann whispered.

" I'm gonna kill that psychotic tornado-wielding morron! How dare he just attack someone like that, especially a scientist!", Leo whispered.

" Mmmm!"

Meghann and Leo quietly opened the door again to see Sheldon moaning as he shifted position in the bed before settling back down again. They closed the door again and Meghann whispered, " Let's go back downstairs."

" Ok.", Leo whispered as he followed his best friend away from her bedroom and back down the stairs.

" You should probably go. I'll talk to you later.", Meghann said as they stood by the front door.

" Alright, later dude.", Leo said as he picked up his headphones and walked out the door.

" Bye.", Meghann said before closing the door and leaned against it for a moment, letting out a sigh of relief.

' Whew, that was a close one!', Meghann thought before heading back into the kitchen to continue cleaning. Cali jumped up on the counter just as Meghann started picking up the cleaning supplies again.

" Cali get off the counter! I just cleaned that!", Meghann interjected as she shooed the family cat off the counter. Cali meowed as she sprinted off the counter to the floor, licking her paw before walking away. Meghann sprayed down the counter again and wiped it. Then she picked up her ipod that she noticed was sitting on the counter and looked at it. A smile spread across her face as she plugged her earbuds into it and stuck them in her ears. She scrolled through her playlist and picked a song. The song she picked was Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC. Meghann danced around the kitchen as she continued cleaning, nodding her head in time with the music. She was being careful not to make too much noise while doing this because she didn't want to wake up Sheldon.

Ring ring ring ring!

" Hello?", Meghann answered her phone after she took her earbuds out and stopped the music.

" Hi Meghann.", Journey said.

" Oh hey Journey. What's up?", Meghann asked as she pinned her phone between her shoulder and ear while wiping down the stove.

" Nothing much, just wondering if you wanted to meet up today? We could go see a movie or do something else together.", Journey asked.

" Oh, I would but, I'm sorry I can't. My parents aren't home and I'm doing chores right now. Plus, I don't want to leave my new roommate alone.", Meghann said.

" Oh shoot, that's right! I forgot that you told me about him last night! How's that going so far?", Journey asked.

" It's a learning curve and a new experience. We just met yesterday so we have a lot to learn about each other.", Meghann said.

" Is he nice?", Journey asked.

" He wasn't at first because he yelled at me for touching him, but, after we started talking he calmed down and opened up to me a little. I think he has some form of OCD because he did tell me that he's extremely germophobic.", Meghann said.

" So is that the reason why you're cleaning your house right now?", Journey asked.

" Yes because I want him to feel comfortable here. As I said to you last night, he was essentially homeless because he broke up with his girlfriend and his friends all turned the other way. I don't know the reasoning for his friends abandoning him but my guess is that they just didn't want him around anymore.", Meghann said.

" Well that sucks! Screw them! They seem to be a bunch of jerks anyway! At least this guy now has you as a friend!", Journey said.

" That's true. But, if those jerks ever show their faces here I'm gonna deck 'em for what they did. They don't deserve forgiveness for shunning my new friend like that.", Meghann said.

" Screw the decking part, why not just castrate them? I'd let you borrow my machete.", Journey said.

" Woah, woah, woah, woah! Journey I am not a murderer! Although, I would like to kill Twister for beating the hell out of Dr. Cooper and trying to use his own gun against him.", Meghann said.

" Why would a physicist be carrying a firearm?!", Journey asked.

" I don't know, probably to defend himself and his work! People are allowed to carry concealed weapons Journey as long as they have a permit which I'm pretty sure Dr. Cooper does!", Meghann said.

" Yeah that's true otherwise he'd probably be in jail.", Journey said.

" Exactly and I don't think I'd be able to picture that. He seemed so calm and quiet after he regretted yelling at me.", Meghann said.

" Well, who knows? Maybe if you two really get to know each other you might even become the best of friends.", Journey said.

" Yeah, but, I don't know. I guess we'll just have to see what happens. He is like 3 times my age.", Meghann said.

" I know but that doesn't mean that you guys can't be friends. Just take a chance at it. You guys might even discover that you like being around each other.", Journey said.

" You're right Journey, I should take a chance. What's the worst that could happen?", Meghann asked.

" You get shot at and end up dead!", Journey laughed in a joking manner.

" Don't even joke like that Journey! My dad would flip the hell out!", Meghann laughed.

" He'd probably just shoot Dr. Cooper with a shotgun!", Journey laughed.

" Ok how is this that you know my dad?!", Meghann laughed.

" Probably because you and I have been dating for 2 years and I've really picked up on your dad's personality traits!", Journey laughed.

" You're such a riot Journey Adam Blaker!", Meghann laughed.

" You too Meghann Rose Brissette!", Journey laughed.

" Listen, it was really nice talking to you but I really got to go. I'll talk to you later.", Meghann said.

" Alright, see ya. I love you.", Journey said.

" Love you too. Bye.", Meghann said as she hung up. After she finished her chores, she threw herself down on the couch in the living room staring up at the ceiling. Sheldon woke up moments later and came downstairs.

" Oh, hey. You're up. Did you sleep ok?", Meghann asked as she sat up on the couch.

" Yes I did. What were you doing down here?", Sheldon asked.

" Oh, I was just doing some chores.", Meghann said.

" What is that scent?", Sheldon asked as he sniffed the air.

" Oh it's just Thieves essential oil cleaner. It's supposed to help kill germs and all kinds of other bacteria.", Meghann said.

" It's delightful. Did you do this for me?", Sheldon asked.

" Yeah. You told me that you're germophobic so I thought I'd clean the house.", Meghann said with a smile.

" Well that is greatly appreciated, thank you.", Sheldon said as a smile spread across his face.

" You're welcome.", Meghann said. Then a smirk spread across her face as she tried really hard not to laugh at the scene before her.

" What's so funny Meghann?", Sheldon asked as he looked at her in confusion.

" Cali just jumped up on your head Dr. Cooper!", Meghann laughed.

" Meow!"

" Oh, hello again! What are you doing on my head you silly cat?! Get down! Cats don't belong on ones heads!", Sheldon said as he tilted his eyes up to see Cali looking at him. He gently lifted her up off of his head and set her down on the floor.

" Meow!"

" What?! What do you want?!", Sheldon asked as he looked at Cali who was swishing the tip of her tail back and forth. Then she stood up on all fours and walked toward him with her tail straight up and head butted his legs as she rubbed up against him.

" I think she just wants attention. She can be very attention needy sometimes.", Meghann said.

" Who were you talking to? I thought I heard someone else's voice while I was sleeping.", Sheldon said.

" Oh yeah, sorry. That was my best friend Leo. He just waltzed into my house listening to his iPod without even asking me if he could come over.", Meghann said.

" Does he do that all the time?", Sheldon asked as he crossed his arms in front of him.

" Yeah, he's been doing it for years and I've just been letting it happen. I know it's a bad habit but he's been over here so many times that it's like it doesn't matter anymore. My house is like a second home to him. He just comes and goes as he pleases whenever he wants, even when my parents aren't home.", Meghann said.

" Well then Leo sounds like my former friend Penny. When I used to live with my former roommate Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, Penny was living across the hall and she would just waltz in and out as she pleased which greatly annoyed me.", Sheldon said.

" Wow, then you're right! That's exactly what Leo does to me every day!", Meghann laughed.

" Where does he live if he's able to do that all the time?", Sheldon asked as he sat down next to her on the couch.

" He lives across the street from me a few houses down.", Meghann said.

" How come I didn't see him yesterday after we met?", Sheldon asked.

" Probably because he was busy. That's the only time that he doesn't come over is if he's got something going on. But, every other time that he's available, he just comes in and out of my house whenever he wants.", Meghann said.

" Well that's just completely obnoxious! That doesn't annoy you?!", Sheldon asked.

" Not really because he's my best friend. It's just how he is.", Meghann said.

" Do you have a picture of him?", Sheldon asked.

" I have pictures of him everywhere in this house. Like I said, he's been over here so many times that he practically lives here with me.", Meghann said. She got up from the couch for a second and picked up a picture that was sitting on the tv stand.

" Here's one picture of Leo and I. It was taken of us when we went to summer camp with our friends.", Meghann said as she showed the picture to Sheldon. The picture showed Meghann and Leo sitting side by side on a dock with their feet hanging over the edge, dawning goofy, carefree smiles on their faces.

" That's Leo?", Sheldon asked as he looked at the picture. Meghann nodded her head in response.

" He looks like Leonardo Hamato from TMNT!", Sheldon exclaimed.

" Yeah but he's not. He's only a spitting image of him. His last name is Lemonselly.", Meghann said.

" Lemon-what?!", Sheldon asked as he stared at her.

" Lemonselly.", Meghann said.

" What kind of a last name is that?!", Sheldon asked.

" I don't know but that's what it is. His name is Leo Michael Lemonselly.", Meghann said.

" Well, then, this is a very interesting friendship you two have together.", Sheldon said as he handed Meghann the picture back.

" Thanks.", Meghann said as she set the picture down.

" How did you two meet each other?", Sheldon asked.

" We met here at my house when we were 5 years old. Our mothers are best friends with each other so we found out about each other from them. I was sitting on my bed in my room reading a chapter book, listening to Numb by Linkin Park on my iPod when Leo suddenly walked into my room. Leo sat down in front of me, we introduced ourselves to each other and we started talking. From then on we became best friends, doing absolutely everything together. We were so inseparable that we never went anywhere without each other and it was because of this that made Twister hate Leo.", Meghann said.

" Twister knows about Leo?", Sheldon asked.

" Yeah. He calls him the stupid turtle kid that gets in the way of everything.", Meghann said.

" Well that's not a nice thing to say about someone's best friend. This guy really seems to have a hotheaded evil ego.", Sheldon said.

" Oh believe me, he does. He's a fracking dickhead.", Meghann said.

" I thought your mother said no cursing.", Sheldon said.

" Yeah she did, but, I do it anyway every once in a while. My brother does too.", Meghann said.

" Your brother's a few years older than you, right?", Sheldon asked.

" Yeah, he's 3 years older than me. He's 21. Speaking of my brother, I have no idea where he went off to. He said he was going to run some errands, but, I don't know.", Meghann said.

" Well, then maybe he most likely went out with some of his friends to get drunk or doing Lord knows what.", Sheldon said.

" Oh yeah, he does that a lot. He gets together with his best friend Connor McRoy and a bunch of their other friends and they go around town doing whatever the hell they want.", Meghann said.

" Does he drive under the influence?", Sheldon asked.

" I don't know, but, I really hope not because he can get in some serious trouble for that.", Meghann said. Sheldon nodded his head in agreement. Then suddenly without warning, the sound of a shattering glass window errupted from the back of the house.

" Oh dear Lord, what was that?! That sounded like a glass window shattering!", Sheldon said in a panic as his anxiety began to rise.

" I don't know but I bet you anything that it's Twister! Stay behind me!", Meghann said in a panic as her and Sheldon got up off the couch. Sheldon followed her to the kitchen and watched in fear as she picked up a kitchen mallet holding it up like a hammer. As Meghann cautiously inched her way toward the back of the house she shouted, " Show your ugly face Twister! I know it's you trying to break into my house!" Sheldon stood a few feet behind her and nearly shuddered in fear as he saw Twister appear, holding a 2 by 4 with a sick, evil grin on his face.

" What was that you little demon?!", Twister growled at her as he took a step toward her with the wooden plank in his hands.

" Stop calling me that! What are you doing here?!", Meghann shouted as she took a step back, still holding the mallet up like a hammer.

" I came here to finish what I started yesterday before you blasted me with that tornado you little bi**h!", Twister shouted as he took another step forward.

' She's the one that created that vortex?! Very interesting!', Sheldon thought in his head as he stood there behind Meghann.

" You will not touch Dr. Cooper! You hear me?! Now get out!", Meghann shouted.

" Oh so he's a doctor?! This should really be interesting!", Twister shouted as he laughed maniacally.

" He's a physicist you idiot and you will not even think about touching him again! This is his safe haven so you are to leave him alone, you dirty piece of sh*t!", Meghann shouted.

" The only pieces of sh*t I see around here are you and him! So you know what Meghann, I think I'll kill both of you!", Twister shouted as he raised his 2 by 4, ready to strike Meghann and Sheldon.

" Get out of my house now Twister Giddeon before I call my cousin Lindsay and have you arrested!", Meghann shouted.

" Nobody is arresting me! I will do whatever the hell I want so get out of my face!", Twister shouted.

" That's what you think you miscreant criminal now come here!", Sheldon shouted as he lashed out at him, kicked him to the floor and slapped him with handcuffs before shoving him into a chair. He then bounded him to the chair with duct tape so that he couldn't move.

" Let me out of this you stupid physicist!", Twister shouted as he tried to break free.

" I don't think so! This is what you get for trying to kill me yesterday! And I'm not stupid, I told you that I have a genius IQ level of 187!", Sheldon shouted as he stood there in front of Twister with his arms crossed in front of him.

" Yeah and you know what else you're gonna get Twister, my cousin!", Meghann shouted as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed her cousin's phone number.

" Hello?", Lindsay answered.

" Lindsay! Get over here now and bring some back-up with you!", Meghann screamed.

" Why?! What's going on Meghann?!", Lindsay asked. Her voice was sounding worry-some.

" Twister broke into my house and he's threatening to hurt me and my new roommate!", Meghann screamed.

" Alright alright, calm down! I'm on my way! Just make sure he doesn't escape!", Lindsay said as she started getting dressed in her uniform.

" That shouldn't be a problem Lindsay because my roommate just handcuffed him and shoved him into a chair, bounding him to the chair with duct tape!", Meghann screamed. The two of them hung up after exchanging a few more words with each other.

Moments later, Lindsay and a few other officers arrived at Meghann's house and came in through the front door.

" Meghann, where you at?!", Lindsay called out from the living room.

" We're in the kitchen Lindsay!", Meghann shot back. The second Lindsay and the other officers walked into the kitchen Twister shouted, " Get away from me! Don't you dare touch me!"

" I don't think so Twister! You're gonna take a little trip with us to the station and we're going to put you in a nice, big jail cell!", Lindsay shouted.

" You ain't locking me up! Not until I finished what I started with this guy!", Twister shouted as he jerked his head toward Sheldon who then proceeded to slap him across the face.

" Ow! What was that for?!", Twister shouted.

" That was to shut you up! Get him out of here!", Sheldon shouted at Twister before shouting at the officers. Twister was released from the chair before being dragged out of the house by two officers with his hands still handcuffed behind his back.

" This isn't over Dr. Cooper! You hear me?! I swear to hell when I get out of jail I will get you and Meghann for this! This means war!", Twister shouted before being shoved into the back of a cop car. After Twister was taken away by the other officers, Meghann introduced her cousin to Sheldon. The 3 of them talked for a while before Lindsay left. Meghann and Sheldon spent the next few minutes cleaning up the mess that Twister made before going upstairs to their shared room.

Meanwhile, back in Pasadena, the gang was begining to feel the emptiness in their lives due to Sheldon's absence. They haven't heard from him in several days and even noticed that he wasn't coming into work anymore. Even though Sheldon was annoying and irritating at times when he was around them, they still cared about him and began to wonder what happened to him. Though Amy was still mad at him and said that she didn't want to see him ever again she missed him deeply and wished that they had never broken up. She wished that he would come back so that they could resolve their differences but at the same time not. She knew that this was an unhealthy way to live but she just couldn't seem to erase Sheldon from her mind. Everything she did reminded her of him. He was everywhere!

" Why did you do this to me Sheldon?! Why did you have to come into my life and break my heart?! All I ever did was try to give the love that you deserve, but, I guess that's not enough for you!", Amy cried as she sat on the bed that her and Sheldon used to share, looking at a picture of the two of them together. She then stood up with the picture in hand and depressingly screamed, " Screw you Sheldon! I hate you!" before angrily throwing the picture at the wall which caused it to shatter before it landed in a trash can. Amy then just fell to her knees sobbing which caught the attention of her friends.

" Amy!", Bernadette screamed as she ran into the room with the others. Her and Penny both got down on the floor next to her, trying to comfort her.

" Go away!", Amy cried as she tried to shove off her friends.

" What the hell happened in here?!", Leonard screamed.

" That's none of your business! I said go away!", Amy cried.

" Ames just tell us what's wrong?!", Penny interjected at her best friend.

" I miss him!", Amy cried.

" You miss who Amy?!", Howard screamed.

" Sheldon! I miss Sheldon!", Amy cried.

" I don't get it! You said that he was a condescending jerk and that you didn't want to see him anymore!", Penny interjected.

" I know I said that but I miss him! I can't get him out of my mind! I still love him even though I also hate him for what he did to me! I don't know what to do or how to feel bestie! I want him back but at the same time I don't! It's killing me!", Amy cried.

" Then talk to a therapist about it.", Penny said as she gently placed a hand on her best friend's shoulder.

" What good will that do?! I'll still miss him! Sheldon stole my heart while at the same time he broke it! I don't know what to do! I don't even know where he is!", Amy cried.

" None of us actually know that.", Stuart said.

" Well he couldn't have just dropped off the face of the Earth! Dr. Whack-A-Doodle's got to be somewhere!", Penny exclaimed.

" Yeah, but where is he is the question that we don't have an answer to, at least not yet anyway.", Howard said.

" You guys just stay here, I'm gonna go out and look for him.", Leonard said.

" No Leonard, don't! I don't want to see him right now!", Amy cried.

" Why the hell not?! You said you miss him!", Bernadette shrieked as she stared at her friend.

" I know I said that Bernie, but, I just don't want to see him right now!", Amy cried.

" Well I'm going out anyway to look for him for myself and the rest of us. He's still my best friend and I want to make sure that he's ok.", Leonard said as he stormed out of the room and out of the apartment. As he drove through the streets, going to every location that he could think of that Sheldon most likely would have gone to, he periodically shouted out his window in the hopes that his best friend would hear him.

" Sheldon! Where the hell are you?! This isn't the time for one of your Bazinga moments! We're worried sick about you! Answer me!", Leonard shouted out his window as he continued driving around Pasadena but saw no sign of his tall, lanky germophobic batcrap crazy physicist best friend. Leonard called Sheldon on his cell hoping that he would answer but when he didn't that's when Leonard really started to panic. He began to suspect that something was very wrong.

' Ok this is getting ridiculous! Something's not right here! Sheldon always answers his phone! Oh for God sakes what happened to my best friend?!', Leonard thought as he drove back to the apartment building.

" Well, did you find him?!", Penny asked.

" No! I couldn't find him anywhere!", Leonard interjected as he inhaled his inhaler.

" What?! He has to be somewhere dude!", Raj interjected.

" I know that Raj but I looked everywhere! The movie theater, The Comic Book Center, The Cheesecake Factory, Caltech, the train station, everywhere that I could think of that Sheldon would mostly likely go to but he was nowhere! I even tried calling him on his cell but he didn't answer! He just disappeared without a trace!", Leonard screamed.

" Damn it!", Stuart hissed as he punched his fist into the wall.

" Son of a bitch, we're such idiots!", Howard hissed.

" Oh God what have we done?! I knew we shouldn't have turned him away in the first place! What if something really terrible happened to him?! What if he's laying somewhere hurt or dead or… wait a second?! Leonard did you just say the train station?!", Penny cried.

" Yes Penny, I did say that but he wasn't there!", Leonard interjected.

" Call Mrs. Cooper! Maybe she's seen him! Maybe he just gone back to Texas!", Penny cried.

" Of course Penny! Why didn't I think of that?!", Leonard interjected as he took out his cell phone to call Mrs. Cooper. When she answered, Leonard asked her if she had recently seen or talked to Sheldon because he was nowhere to be found and he wasn't answering his phone. Mrs. Cooper immediately began to panic.

" No, I haven't talked to him in several days! He never came here! Good Heavens, where in the name of the Lord is my son?!", Mrs. Cooper scolded as she screamed in a panic.

Back in New York City at Meghann's house, Meghann and Sheldon were in their bedroom listening to music on Meghann's ipod as Sheldon was working on his whiteboard. The song playing was Jailbreak by AC/DC. Meghann was dancing around as Sheldon was standing at his board, nodding his head in time with the music with a smirk on his face as he focused on his work. Surprisingly the music was actually helping him which was exactly the kind of thing he wanted. To him it felt great to be able to solely focus on what was really important to him without having any annoying distractions or interruptions. Meghann's enthusiasm was also helping him because he felt that it was a good rhythm and that it tied very well with the music. Even though he always thought of kids and teenagers as being obnoxious, he surprisingly was starting to become fond of Meghann even though they had just met yesterday. He liked the fact that she was mature for her age and that she seemed to understand him just by briefly picking up those personality traits from him when they met the day before.

" This is so much fun! I love this! What about you?!", Meghann exclaimed as she laughed and continued to dance around the room.

" Yes. This music is really helping me focus. What band is this?", Sheldon asked as he was solving equations on his board.

" It's AC/DC, they're an Australian rock band!", Meghann exclaimed.

" Interesting. I kind of like it.", Sheldon said.

" I kind of do too but my favorite band is The Black Eyed Peas.", Meghann said.

" Interesting. Leonard likes that band too, although his singing is obnoxious! He once sang I Got A Feeling in his car and it almost made my ears bleed.", Sheldon said.

" What the fracking fudge?! That's hilarious! He was really that bad?!", Meghann laughed.

" Yes, he was terrible! So, if you don't mind me asking, what's your favorite Black Eyed Peas song?", Sheldon asked.

" My favorite song is Boom Boom Pow. It's also my best friend's favorite. Leo likes The Black Eyed Peas too.", Meghann said.

" I don't think I've heard that one.", Sheldon said.

" Oh, well here I'll play for you. I have it on my ipod.", Meghann said as she scrolled through her playlist to find the song she was looking for. Once she found it she clicked on it and it began to play.

" Well, it's not really my taste but I think I can live with it.", Sheldon said.

" That's fine with me. Just thought I'd throw it out there.", Meghann said.

" Thank you for understanding.", Sheldon said.

" You're welcome.", Meghann said.

" Does Twister know about this song?", Sheldon asked.

" Yes and he freaking hates it! It's got to be the number 1 song he hates! He goes insane whenever he hears Leo and I singing it!", Meghann laughed.

" You two love to annoy him with that song?", Sheldon asked.

" Yes because it's freaking hilarious! Everytime he hears us singing it at the top of our lungs, he yells at us telling us to shut up or he's gonna destroy the song!", Meghann laughed.

" Destroy the song, what does he think he's going to do?! Hack the recording studio that produced it or set it on fire?!", Sheldon asked.

" That's what I've been saying! He's such an idiot! You can't really destroy a whole song when it's already been recorded by a professional recording studio! That makes no sense!", Meghann laughed. Then she screamed and fell on her back when she stepped on something and lost her footing.

" Ow! That hurt!", Meghann screamed in pain as she sat up on the floor.

" Oh dear Lord! Meghann are you alright?!", Sheldon exclaimed.

" Yeah I'm fine Dr. Cooper, I just slipped and fell on the tv remote.", Meghann said as she stood back up.

" Are you sure that you didn't hurt your back or anything?! That sounded like you hit your back pretty hard!", Sheldon asked as he looked at his new roommate.

" Yes I'm fine.", Meghann said.

" Alright, but, I think as a precaution you should probably sit down.", Sheldon said as he turned back to his board.

" Where would I sit?", Meghann asked.

" Your bed. It has proper lumbar support.", Sheldon said.

" Oh, ok. Thanks for the advice.", Meghann said as she sat down on her bed.

" My pleasure.", Sheldon said.

" What are you two doing in here?! I thought I heard something banging up here?!", Brian intoxicatedly asked as he suddenly threw open the bedroom door.

" That was me Brian! I slipped and fell on the tv remote! Where have you been?! I was starting to get worried!", Meghann shot back at her brother.

" I was with Connor and a few of my other friends Meghann!", Brian intoxicatedly shot back.

" See, what did I tell you?", Sheldon said to Meghann.

" You said you were running errands!", Meghann interjected as she rolled her eyes.

" Yes and I did, but, before coming home I decided to go out with my friends for a bit!", Brian intoxicatedly said.

" Have you been drinking?! I smell alcohol on your breath!", Meghann asked.

" Yes, a little bit!", Brian intoxicatedly said.

" Did you drive yourself home or did you take an Uber?!", Meghann asked.

" I drove myself! Why do you ask?!", Brian intoxicatedly said.

" Brian that's very dumb! You know you can get a DUI for that!", Meghann hissed.

" Yeah but I'm not even that drunk Meghann!", Brian intoxicatedly said.

" It doesn't matter, you can't drink and drive period! You could kill somebody!", Meghann said.

" I agree with that statement. Drinking and driving is against the law.", Sheldon said.

" Whatever, I'm going to go get ready for work! And have you even been monitoring your radar watch for storm chasing Meghann?!", Brian intoxicatedly asked.

" Yeah I've been watching it all day and nothing's happening so far!", Meghann shot back as she flashed her radar watch that was on her wrist at her brother.

" How would you know that?!", Brian intoxicatedly asked.

" Because if anything popped up it would beep at me and flash some lights! It's been silent pretty much all day so far which means nothing's going on right now!", Meghann shot back.

" Alright well I got to go! Pay attention, be alert, and be careful!", Brian intoxicatedly said as he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

" Thanks! You're the one to talk Mr. DUI!", Meghann called out.

" Frack you Meghann!"

" Ignore that comment. He's just trying to mess with you.", Sheldon said.

" Point taken. You know, I'm glad we met. I think this could work out really well.", Meghann said with a smile.

" Me too. I feel the same way.", Sheldon said as a soft smile spread across his face.

To be continued… Please let me know what you think will happen next in the comments. And also please don't think I ruined the story by mentioning Meghann's best friend. This part was completely made up.
