Chapter 6
" Dr. Cooper?!", Meghann and Journey exclaimed.
" Oh dear Lord!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" What the hell are you doing here?!", Meghann interjected as she narrowed her eyes at her roommate.
" Yeah man! We're you spying on us?!", Journey interjected.
" Well I wouldn't say I was spying on you. I was merely just observing you from a distance.", Sheldon said.
" Oh my god! Did my dad send you here Dr. Cooper?!", Meghann hissed.
" No your father was not even aware of this. This was all my doing.", Sheldon said.
" Ok that's just really creepy!", Journey interjected.
" Yeah! Why did you follow us here?! We never gave you permission to do that!", Meghann scolded.
" I was curious to know what you were up to considering the fact that you told your father that Journey has an STD!", Sheldon said.
" We were just seeing a movie together as most boyfriends and girlfriends do with each other and FYI, we were joking about the STD thing just to get my dad off our back!", Meghann hissed.
" You were lying about that?!", Sheldon gasped.
" Yes! We made up the whole STD scenario just to get my dad to leave us alone!", Meghann interjected. Journey nodded his head in agreement.
" What?! Oh I don't appreciate this at all! I can not believe you lied about that! Especially something this serious!", Sheldon scolded as he narrowed his eyes at her.
" Well Mr. Brissette wouldn't shut up about ground rules and he keeps thinking that we're going to have sex with each other so what were we supposed to do?!", Journey interjected as he turned the brim of his snapback hat around to the back of his head.
" You are not supposed to do anything but listen! That's what parents are for!", Sheldon scolded.
" Get to your stupid point Dr. Cooper!", Meghann demanded.
" My stupid point is you're going to go back to our house this instant and tell your dad the truth! I will not allow you to lie just for your own benefit! Lying is wrong!", Sheldon scolded.
" What?! I am so not doing that!", Meghann interjected.
" You are or I'm going to drag you out of this movie theater in front of everybody!", Sheldon scolded.
" You're insane Dr. Cooper!", Meghann interjected.
" I'm not insane, my mother had me tested! It's your choice Meghann! You either make Journey drive you back to our house this instant or I'll drag you there myself and believe me, you're not going to like it if I have to do that!", Sheldon scolded.
" I'm. Not. Going. Anywhere!", Meghann interjected but the second those words left her mouth, she found herself being dragged out of the movie theater by her roommate.
" Ow! Ow! Ow! You're hurting my head! You're hurting my head!", Meghann screamed as Sheldon dragged her by one of her ponytails across the parking lot causing a bunch of people to stare at them in a weird way.
" I warned you that I would do that if you didn't listen to me!", Sheldon scolded.
" I thought you were bluffing when you said that!", Meghann screamed.
" Well I wasn't! I told you that I'm not going to allow you to lie to your parents just for your own benefit! No one will ever take you seriously or trust you if you do that!", Sheldon scolded as he continued to drag Meghann.
" Ok ok I get it! You don't need to lecture me!", Meghann screamed.
" Oh on the contrary I think I do! STDs are not something to joke about! Some of them are very deadly and can actually kill you!", Sheldon scolded.
" Name one!", Meghann screamed.
" HIV!", Sheldon scolded.
" What's so deadly about that?!", Meghann screamed.
" It's a virus that can develop into AIDS if not treated and it attacks your immune system! It's a horrible incurable disease that you don't want to be infected with because you'll be stuck with it for the rest of your life!", Sheldon scolded.
" Ew! That's so gross! Now could you let me go please?!", Meghann screamed.
" No! You are going to go straight to your father and tell him what you and Journey did! I will not allow this kind of deception to take place!", Sheldon scolded as he continued to drag his roommate.
" Oh my god let go! Journey, help!", Meghann screamed for her boyfriend as she tried to pry her roommate's hand off her hair but unfortunately Journey didn't hear her because he was driving his car back to her house. When they all got there Journey walked into the house first before Sheldon dragged Meghann in still screaming and let go of her hair.
" Thank you for finally letting me go! I can not believe you dragged me for 6 blocks down the street!", Meghann shouted.
" I told you that I was going to do that if you didn't listen to me!", Sheldon scolded.
" And I told you that I'm 18 years old and I can make my own decisions!", Meghann shouted.
" What is going on in here?!", Mr. Brissette demanded when he came out of the kitchen followed by his wife.
" Your daughter has something to tell you!", Sheldon said as he pointed at Meghann.
" What?! No I don't!", Meghann interjected.
" Wrong! Try again!", Sheldon scolded as he grabbed her by her hair again.
" Ow! Ow! Ow! Ok! Ok! I'll tell them!", Meghann screamed as she flailed her arms.
" That's what I thought!", Sheldon exclaimed as he let go.
" Tell us what?! What is going on here?!", Mrs. Brissette demanded.
" Ok, mom, dad, Journey and I were lying about the whole STD scenario.", Meghann said with a defeated sigh.
" What?!", Mr. and Mrs. Brissette exclaimed as they stared at their daughter.
" Why would you lie about something that serious?!", Mr. Brissette demanded.
" Because we were sick of listening to your ground rules and you thinking that we were going to have sex with each other so we made up the whole STD thing just to get you to leave us alone. I actually really don't have The Clap or any kind of STD.", Journey admitted as he hung his head in shame.
" That is the most irresponsible thing you could have ever done! This is why I tell you these ground rules in the first place!", Mr. Brissette shouted.
" Dad we're 18! You need to learn how to trust us! Journey and I both agreed that we weren't going to have sex for a long time! We're not little kids anymore, we're practically mature adults!", Meghann shot back at her father.
" You don't act like it sometimes Meghann! Remember what you did yesterday with the trampoline and the sticks?!", Mr. Brissette scolded.
" Oh come on I was just trying to teach Dr. Cooper a lesson about annoying people! That was one incident but for the most part I do act my age!", Meghann shouted.
" No you don't!", Mr. Brissette shouted.
" Yes I do!", Meghann shouted.
" No you really don't Meghann!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.
" What other incidents are there?! I don't understand where you're going with this!", Meghann shot back.
" What about the time when you, Leo, Delaney, Julia, and Kayla spent the night over at your cousin Lindsay's house and played an immature prank on her?!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.
" What are you talking about mom?!", Meghann shouted.
" I'm talking about the fact that the five of you made Lindsay think that her house was haunted! You were moaning like ghosts, moving things around, messing with the lights, the whole shebang!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.
" Oh come on mom that was on Halloween! We were just goofing around like BFFs do! Why do you think that we formed The Best Friends Forever Club?!", Meghann shot back at her mother.
" I'm really getting tired of you using your club as an excuse to do these immature things!", Mrs. Brissette shouted.
" Well don't blame me for it, blame Delaney! She's the president of the club! She's the one that formed it in the first place and we just helped her build it from the ground up!", Meghann shot back.
" It's not entirely her fault! You are all in cahoots with it!", Mrs. Brissette scolded.
" Nobody is in cahoots with anything mom! We're just all really good friends! We do a lot more stuff with each other than just being immature idiots every once in a while! We go to the beach, we go to the mall, we go to the movies, we play video games together, we have sleepovers at each other's houses, we even sometimes take Grandma and Grandpa's RV and go camping somewhere near Atlantic City!", Meghann shot back.
" What do you need to go to Atlantic City for Meghann?! You and your friends are not old enough to be gambling at the casinos up there!", Mr. Brissette scolded.
" I know that dad we just hang out in a campground somewhere near the city! The only time we ever go into the city is when we're hungry and want food! We don't go there for anything else but that! Plus it's a safe place where we can get away from Twister every once in a while because he never follows us up there! In fact, I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know that we go up there!", Meghann shouted.
" How many times have you done that?!", Sheldon scolded as he stared at her.
" At least 3 to 4 years! My grandparents have never questioned me when I ask them if I can borrow their RV! They just let me borrow it whenever I want and my friends and I take it to a campground somewhere up by Atlantic City!", Meghann hissed.
" Well that is very dangerous! You shouldn't be doing that unless a legal guardian is with you!", Sheldon scolded.
" I shouldn't but I do it anyway because that's our only safe place to go to get away from Twister! He never bothers us up there because he doesn't even know that we go up there every once in a while to get a break from him!", Meghann hissed.
" How do you know that he doesn't know that?! He could have been tracing your phone signal without you knowing it!, Sheldon scolded.
" He can't ever get a good enough signal for a trace because cell phone reception is very spotty up there and we never see him when we go up there so that's how I know that he doesn't have a clue about our whereabouts when we go up there to camp in my grandparents' RV!", Meghann hissed.
" So you're telling me that you're basically going OFF THE GRID when you do that?!", Sheldon scolded as he narrowed his eyes at his roommate.
" Yeah because that's the only way we get peace and solitude from my enemy! He can't track us if our phones don't work all that well up there!", Meghann shouted.
" Ok well here's a new rule that I'm adding to the Roommate Agreement, from this moment on you will not be driving your Meemaw's and Pop Pop's RV anymore with your friends by yourself to Atlantic City unless I decide to go with you which will most certainly not be very often! You all may be legally adults but you are still teenagers and that place is most certainly not a place for teenagers to be hanging out around! That place is just as obnoxious as the Las Vegas Strip! There's too many yahoos, hooligans, and severely inebriated pedestrians around there that you don't need to be around!", Sheldon scolded.
" Thank you Dr. Cooper I was just about to say that!", Mrs. Brissette exclaimed. Sheldon nodded his head.
" Oh come on Dr. Cooper! Now you're just being a buzzkill! You are depriving my friends and I from our safe haven from my enemy!", Meghann interjected.
" I am not depriving you of that Meghann! I very much understand the need for that but I'm not going to allow you to do that anymore by yourself! It's too much of a threat to your life to be risking serious injury as well as getting into possible serious trouble! We have went over numerous sections and clauses in the Roommate Agreement that suggest so that you and I both signed! We both agreed to these terms so there's no way out of it unless something happens to me or I move out!", Sheldon scolded.
" Why would you even want to come with us?! We don't really do much when we're up there anyway! We mostly just hang out in the RV talking about our lives, joke around a little bit, listen to music, watch tv, play video games, etc! The only time we ever go anywhere else is into Atlantic City to grab some food or go swimming in the ocean! Other than that we do nothing else but stay in the RV at the campground near the city!", Meghann protested.
" Well then it shall be worth all the torturous boredom if it means me knowing that you're ok and not in some kind of severe distress.", Sheldon stated.
" You will be absolutely bored out of your mind Dr. Cooper! I garrentee you that after the first few minutes of being with us you're going to want to go home! There is no way that you'll want to hang out with a bunch of 18 year olds for a week and a half because that's how long we stay up there! And plus, sometimes we even meet a few new friends while we're up there and hang out with them! Trust me, you're not going to want to do that because sometimes we get very silly, loud, and obnoxious!", Meghann defended.
" That is correct I wouldn't, but, that's still not going to make me stay home. We would be in violation of the Roommate Agreement once that new rule is added.", Sheldon said.
" Fine, you win. Add it to the Agreement and I'll sign it.", Meghann said with a defeated sigh.
" Oh I shall and FYI, I always win.", Sheldon said.
" Oh brother!", Meghann groaned as she rolled her eyes at her roommate.
Meanwhile at the Giddeon's house in the basement…
" Now that I'm free and back in my lair, it's time to come up with a plan to destroy Meghann and that stupid roommate of hers Dr. Cooper! Got any ideas Dr. Blowhole?!", Twister interjected with an evil laugh as he swiveled back and forth in his computer desk chair.
" I will in just a second Twister! I got to find my bandanna!", Dr. Blowhole interjected as he walked around his friend's lair looking for his missing headwear.
" Dude no one cares about your stupid headband! Why the hell do you always wear that thing anyway?! You're a mad scientist!", Twister hissed at his friend as he jumped out of his seat.
" Because I like it and it gives me a tough, powerful and evil image! And for the last time it is not a headband it's a bandanna! There's a difference between the two!", Dr. Blowhole hissed.
" Well I don't care what the difference is! It looks stupid on you!", Twister hissed.
" Well that's your opinion!", Dr. Blowhole hissed.
" SHUT UP!", Twister shouted.
" Twister, Elliot! Both of you boys shut up right now! I'm trying to watch my villainous soaps on tv!", Mrs. Giddeon screamed down the stairs at her son and his friend.
" Mom quit yelling at us! We're trying to come up with an evil plan down here!", Twister shouted at his mother.
" Well I don't care what it is you're doing just keep it down! I swear to the Devil that you and your sister are going to be the death of your father and I someday!", Mrs. Giddeon screamed.
" Don't bring Rebecca into this! She has nothing to do with this!", Twister shouted.
" Excuse me?! But what the hell was that Twister?!", Rebecca screamed down the stairs at her brother.
" Shut up Rebecca! I wasn't talking to you!", Twister shouted back at his sister.
" Twister and Rebecca stop yelling at each other! You're gonna drive your mother and I crazy!", Mr. Giddeon shouted from upstairs at his son and daughter.
" Shut up Dad!", Twister and Rebecca shouted at the same time at their father.
" Don't shout at your father!", Mrs. Giddeon screamed.
" Just go back to watching your soaps Mom!", Twister shouted.
" Don't sass me!", Mrs. Giddeon screamed as she slammed the basement door shut.
Pasadena, California…
" Come on Sheldon! Where the hell are you?! This isn't funny!", Amy hissed in frustration as she sat at her laptop trying to track her ex-boyfriend's cell phone. She was still mad at him but she wanted to know where he was with this other woman that Mrs. Cooper was talking about. She was furious that he just dumped her as if she didn't matter to him and went off with some other woman to stay with.
" Amy calm the hell down! Get a hold of yourself! You're acting like a creepy stalker!", Penny interjected as she grabbed her best friend by the shoulders and started shaking her.
" Don't tell me to calm down bestie! I need to find out where Sheldon is and who he's with! We may have broken up with each other but I told you that I'm not just going to let him move on that easily and that quickly!", Amy shouted.
" Why the hell not?!", Bernadette interjected.
" Because if I can't have him, no one can! He's still mine even though we're no longer together!", Amy shot back.
" Ook, I really think you should talk to a therapist! You are starting to act a little bat-crap crazy!", Penny said with concern in her voice as she gently closed Amy's laptop.
" I'm fine Penny! I don't need to talk to anybody! I just want to find my man and the little bitch who stole him from me!", Amy shouted.
" Amy you don't know who you're dealing with!", Bernadette interjected.
" Yeah, for all we know she could be anybody! She could be the same age as him or younger and she could also already have a boyfriend! We don't know who this woman is that Sheldon's with!", Penny interjected.
" Exactly which is why I want to find out! This little skank is not going to get away with what she's doing!", Amy hissed.
" Ames don't do something that you might regret later! You might end up really hurting some innocent young woman's feelings and damaging any chances of Sheldon ever forgiving you in the future! Do you really want to risk that because of some jealous feelings about a situation that you have no idea about what's going on?!", Penny interjected.
" Penny I don't think you understand the severity of the situation! How would you like it if Leonard did something like that to you what Sheldon did to me?!", Amy interjected.
" If Leonard did that to me I would be pissed off!", Penny interjected.
" Exactly because he's your boyfriend! You wouldn't like it if he broke up with you and went off to live with someone else!", Amy shot back at her best friend.
" Hey don't be making this about me! This whole situation is about you wanting to do something so dramatic that you may end up regretting if you ever found out what was going on!", Penny interjected.
" I know what I'm doing and nothing you say is ever going to change that bestie!", Amy hissed as she went back to her laptop.
" Amy, you're going to get in serious trouble for this! Stalking is illegal and you could end up going to prison if you get caught doing it! Think about what you're really doing! You're risking your whole life!", Penny hissed. Amy was about to protest against this but Bernadette said, " Amy let's just let it go. It's obvious that Sheldon left the state of California and doesn't want to talk to us anymore so we need to respect his wishes. Someday he might come back or maybe he won't. Who knows?"
" I guess you're right. But I'm still mad at him for doing this to me!", Amy said with a defeated sigh.
" You're not the only one who's upset. We're all upset with ourselves for the way we treated him. We shouldn't have just abandoned him like that when he needed us the most. We're his friends and friends don't do that.", Penny sadly said. Amy thought for a moment before she bursted into tears.
" This is all my fault! I'm the worst girlfriend ever! If I had never said get the hell out to him like I did none of this would have happened! We probably would have worked it out and things could have gone on as normal but instead I had to open my stupid, big mouth and say that! Because of that, I'll never see him again!", Amy cried as she buried her face in her hands.
" Amy!", Penny and Bernadette exclaimed as they tried to comfort her. Penny embraced her as Bernadette gently placed a hand on Amy's shoulder.
" Everything alright in here?", Mrs. Cooper asked as she walked in.
" Yeah everything's fine Mrs. Cooper, we're just talking.", Penny sadly said.
" Oh good. I just spoke to Georgie and Missy. Georgie was happy but Missy was a little upset, Lord already knows why.", Mrs. Cooper said.
" What did she say?", Bernadette asked.
" Nothing except she was crying and begging me to go find Shelly but I told her that I have no idea where he is because he never said anything to me or to Meemaw about his whereabouts.", Mrs. Cooper said. Then she interjected, " Lord forgive me for saying this but I'm going to strangle that boy if I find him! This is the dumbest thing he could have ever done! I'm very disappointed that he just broke up with you like that and then went off to God knows where without saying anything until now!" as she pointed at Amy.
" Well I can't say that we're not on the same page. Sheldon may be smart but he can be an idiot sometimes.", Penny said.
" Can't say I don't agree with you Penny. Lord only knows what goes on in that boy's head.", Mrs. Cooper said.
" Did you guys talk Amy out of stalking Sheldon?", Leonard asked as he walked in with Howard, Raj, and Stuart.
" It wasn't easy but yes Leonard. Now we're just talking about how much of an idiot Sheldon is for doing this to us.", Penny said.
" Mind if we join this conversation?", Leonard asked as he pulled up a chair.
" No, not at all.", Bernadette said.
Back at the Giddeon's house…
" What the hell is this Twister?!", Rebecca hissed at her brother as she looked at a blank piece of paper with a few words on it that was sitting on his desk.
" What does it look like to you Rebecca?! This is going to be my latest evil plan! Dr. Blowhole and I just got to come up with it!", Twister hissed at his sister as he stuck the paper in her face before slamming it back down on his desk.
" Who's Dr. Cooper?!", Rebecca hissed.
" Some stupid theoretical physicist that Meghann took into her house as her new roommate!", Twister hissed.
" Well where did he come from?!", Rebecca hissed.
" I don't know! How should I know that?! I just ran into him 3 days ago on the street so he had to have come from somewhere!", Twister hissed.
" Ok and here's another stupid question! How did Meghann meet him?!", Rebecca hissed.
" She met him after she blasted me into the street with a tornado! I was just about to kill him with his stupid gun when suddenly she ruined everything like she always does!", Twister hissed.
" Why would a physicist be carrying a firearm?! That's just stupid!", Rebecca hissed.
" I don't know but I'm gonna get him and Meghann back for this! There is no way that I'm just going to let some rodeo clown get in my way of taking over this city! I don't know much about him but he looks like he's more of a threat than Meghann's stupid best friend Leo which I still loathe very much!", Twister hissed.
" Ok how about this?! We capture him and you let me dismember him with my chainsaw!", Rebecca interjected as she held up her chainsaw, reviving up the engine.
" Good plan Rebecca except we would need to figure out how to get rid of the body! You don't just commit a murder without a plan! That's just completely retarded! Only a morron would do that!", Twister interjected.
" Oh shut up!", Rebecca shouted.
" Both of you shut up!", Dr. Blowhole shouted.
" Not now Dr. Blowhole!", Twister and Rebecca shouted.
KABOOM!
The three of them fliched at the sound of the tv crashing its way down the stairs before it landed at their feet.
" That's it! I'm leaving this house to watch my soaps elsewhere! You three are driving me nuts like a Devil's love affair!", Mrs. Giddeon screamed down the stairs before she slammed the door shut.
Meanwhile at the Brissette's house…
After Sheldon updated the Roommate Agreement, Meghann and Sheldon both went over it again before signing it again.
" There Dr. Cooper! I agreed to your ridiculous addition to the Roommate Agreement! Happy now?!", Meghann interjected.
" Indeed and FYI, it is not ridiculous Meghann! I'm merely just looking out for you! Safety and wellbeing is very important to me!", Sheldon said.
" Yeah yeah yeah, I hear that all the time!", Meghann interjected as she rolled her eyes.
" Excuse me but are you upset about this or are you saying that just to blow me off?!", Sheldon asked as he crossed his arms in front of him.
" I'm not upset or trying to blow you off! I'm just annoyed!", Meghann interjected.
" Annoyed about what?! I don't understand what it is you're getting at!", Sheldon said.
" I'm annoyed that you're now all of a sudden enforcing this new rule! Leo probably won't care that much but I don't think I want to be bombarded with questions from my other 3 BFFs about who you are and why you're with us all of a sudden!", Meghann interjected.
" What are you saying?! Are you implying that your friends are not going to like me?!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" No I'm not implying that Dr. Cooper! I'm saying that they might get a little annoyed with the new rules!", Meghann hissed.
" Oh, and why's that?", Sheldon asked.
" Because we've been able to get away with doing whatever we want for years and now all of a sudden someone is telling us what to do and that someone is you!", Meghann pointed out.
" To whom exactly are you talking about?", Sheldon asked.
" Well as I said, Leo probably won't care all that much but it's Delaney, Julia, and Kayla that I'm a little worried about. They might get a little annoyed by your rules and the last thing I want to hear from my friends is that you're ruinning our club.", Meghann said.
" What?! Oh that's preposterous! Are you saying that you and your friends formed some ridiculous free for all club?", Sheldon exclaimed.
" Yeah cause it kind of is. My friend Delaney was the one that started the club and became president so she made up her own rules. And the rules are anything goes which basically means that we get to do whatever we want. So I suggest that if you want my friends to like you then don't be too uptight with obnoxious rules. I don't want them coming to me with complaints about you saying that you're ruinning everything, got it?", Meghann asked as she narrowed her eyes at her roommate.
" Well, I can't promise you that, but, I'll try.", Sheldon said.
" Thank you. And another thing, please do not spy on us like you did with Journey and I today at the movie theater. You will seriously freak my friends out with that, especially my friend Julia.", Meghann said.
" Interesting. How so?", Sheldon asked.
" Julia is a spaz. She gets really jumpy at certain things but it's really not her fault because she was born with a disorder that causes her to act like that.", Meghann said.
" Oh good Lord! What is it?!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" She has a disorder called Active Spastic Disorder and what it does is it effects certain core emotions within your brain. So basically if she ever gets really excited, really upset or really frightened about something the disorder intensifies those emotions and makes her go completely nuts sometimes, like off the walls nuts. It's kind of like Attention Deficiet Hyperactivity Disorder except these behaviors don't happen constantly for a whole day, they come and go periodically.", Meghann said.
" Oh great, I get to deal with a spazzy teenager.", Sheldon said as he rolled his eyes.
" She's not that bad Dr. Cooper. Julia is actually very fun to be around. She's very nice, enthusiastic, and she's got a great sense of humor. Although one thing we will never seem to understand is why she is obsessed and fascinated by this one song that we all seriously think is the dumbest song ever made.", Meghann said.
" And what would that be?", Sheldon asked as he stared at his roommate.
" Bennie and The Jets by Elton John! I mean seriously, what kind of a dumb song is that?!", Meghann laughed.
" You're a dumb song Meghann!", Brian snickered at his sister.
" Excuse me Brian but I believe that comment toward your sister was completely uncalled for and unnecessary.", Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at his roommate's brother.
" Yeah you butthead! Dr. Cooper just told you to shut it!", Meghann laughed at Brian as she pointed at Sheldon.
" Excuse me Meghann but I did not say anything like that. I don't appreciate this laughter and you pointing at me derivitively exaggerating the truth.", Sheldon said as he turned his narrowed eyes at her.
" What the hell are you talking about?! That's exactly what you said!", Meghann laughed.
" Meghann! Do not curse in this house!", Mrs. Brissette scolded.
" Oh give it a rest Mom!", Meghann interjected.
" Excuse me but do not talk like that to your mother and no, I did not say that! I merely told your brother that his comment toward you was uncalled for and unnecessary!", Sheldon scolded.
" Meaning, you were telling him to shut up!", Meghann stated with a smirk on her face.
" Oh Meghann Meghann Meghann, must you go picking battles with me knowing that you will never win any of them?", Sheldon asked as he shook his head.
" Yes because I love challenges. Why do you think I always fight with Twister all the time?", Meghann said.
" Oh now you're just sounding ridiculous. What does this conversation have to do with your enemy?", Sheldon asked.
" Nothing, just wanted to bring it up!", Meghann laughed.
" Yes, well I think that's enough of that.", Sheldon said as he approached her.
" What are you talking about and what are you doing?!", Meghann laughed when noticed that Sheldon was now standing very close to her and slightly behind her. Her eyes then went really wide when she felt a slight prick on her skin.
" Nothing you need to be concerned about other than lights out.", Sheldon said with a slightly evil-like smile on his face.
" Ok if you think for one second you can…!", Meghann laughed before she suddenly blacked out and fell to the floor.
" Well that's better.", Sheldon said as he placed the cap of a syringe and needle back on it before shoving it back in his pocket.
" Uh… did you just knock out my sister?!", Brian asked in confusion as he stared at Sheldon.
" Well considering the fact that she's now sleeping on the floor would lead me to conclude that you assumption is correct.", Sheldon said.
" That's not going to hurt her is it?", Mr. Brissette asked.
" Oh no, not at all. If my calculations are correct she should wake up in a few hours.", Sheldon said.
" Well, I guess that's the end of my date with my girlfriend. I better get home before my parents start freaking out about where I am.", Journey said.
" I think that's a wise decision.", Sheldon said.
" Yeah… anyway it was nice meeting you Dr. Cooper. Tell Meghann I'll talk to her later when she wakes up.", Journey said as he opened the front door.
" Of course Journey. Goodbye.", Sheldon said.
" Bye.", Journey said as he walked out of the house, got in his car and left. Sheldon then shut the door, carefully picked Meghann up off the floor and dragged her upstairs to their room. After he placed her in her bed, he sat down in front of his laptop. As he was working, Cali came wandering into the bedroom through the kitty door and jumped up into his lap.
" Oh, well hello little friend! What are you doing on my lap?!", Sheldon asked as he stared at his roommate's family cat.
" Meow!", Cali meowed as she just sat in Sheldon's lap, licking her paw. Her tail gently swished back and forth also.
" What do you want? I'm working.", Sheldon said as he gently stroked the top of her head.
" Meow!", Cali meowed as she then began to rub her fur against his stomach, purring contently as she then laid down across his lap.
" Alright, you can stay there as long as you don't bother me.", Sheldon said before he looked back up at his laptop to continue working. He periodically glanced over his shoulder back at Meghann who was still sleeping in her bed. Sheldon could tell that she was dreaming about something because she was twitching her arms a little bit and mumbling words that he couldn't quite make out. At some point Meghann's twitching movements became so erratic that she ended up rolling off her bed with a scream that caused Sheldon to scream as well. Cali meowed and sprinted off his lap at the sudden movement.
" Good Lord!", Sheldon interjected as he placed a hand on his chest.
" What did you do to me?!", Meghann interjected as she sat in the middle of the room on the floor.
" What do you mean what did I do to you?! Have you suffered a recent blow to the head?!", Sheldon asked as he stared at her.
" No! Did you just knock me out?!", Meghann exclaimed.
" Yes.", Sheldon said.
" Ok, you are the weirdest person I've ever met, but, I'm willing to put up with you.", Meghann said as she stood up and flopped down on her bed.
" Well I would surely think so because I'm not leaving this house unless as I said something should happen to me or when I decide to move out someday. But for now I think I could just be contently happy with being your roommate. I think I could think of it as a cohabitation experiment.", Sheldon said.
" You can call it whatever you want Dr. Cooper. You're more than welcome to stay with my family and I for as long as you want.", Meghann said as she picked up Cali from the floor and placed her on her lap.
" You know Meghann, when we first met I never really intended on staying here, but, now that I've been here for a couple days I'm actually surprisingly starting to appreciate it a little bit. You and I may have a lot to learn about each other, but, I think I could give a whirl.", Sheldon said.
" Me too. And you know, you might not agree with me yet on this comment, but, I think you and I are going to have a lot of fun together as roommates.", Meghann said with a smile.
" Well, it's too soon to tell, but, I suppose so.", Sheldon said as he returned a smile back.
" You big dork!", Meghann laughed as she grabbed her pillow and playfully chucked at him.
" Oh dear Lord!", Sheldon shrieked as the soft object pelted him square in his back. He then turned around and looked at Meghann who was laughing her head off.
" Oh I see where this is going! What kind of obnoxious social convention is this?!", Sheldon exclaimed as he stared at her.
" Nothing, I just threw my pillow at you in a playful way! What are you going to do about it Dr. Sheldon Cooper?!", Meghann laughed.
" What am I going to do about it?! I'll show you what I'm going to do about it!", Sheldon interjected as he stood up from his desk chair and walked over to his side of the room. He then picked up his notepad and said, " Two things are coming your way: strike 2 and think fast!" as he scribbled another X on his notepad before he picked up his pillow and threw it at his roommate which hit her in the face. The force knocked her down on her butt on her bed. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped as she stared at him. Sheldon just stood there with an evil villain-like smirk on his face.
" Oh, it is so on now!", Meghann laughed as she turned the music on, picked up her pillow again and threw it back at him. The song that came on was Good Time Good Life by Erin Bowman.
" Woman you are playing with forces beyond your ken!", Sheldon interjected as he threw his pillow back at her.
" Well that's in my nature!", Meghann laughed as she threw her pillow back at him. As the music continued playing in the background the two of them continuously threw their pillows back and forth at each other. Despite this being something that he would never imagine engaging in with anyone, Sheldon couldn't seem to help the ridiculous smirk that was spreading across his face. He was beginning to have a little fun with this activity and soon found himself doing something that he rarely ever did. He actually started laughing with Meghann as their pillows kept hitting each other repeatedly.
" What are you two idiots doing up here?!", Brian interjected as he barged into his sister's and Sheldon's bedroom.
" We're having a little fun together Brian! Look it up in the dictionary you pigheaded dope!", Meghann laughed as she threw her pillow at her brother.
" Oh you're so gonna get it now sis!", Brian laughed.
" Oh really?! I don't see a pillow in your hand bro!", Meghann laughed as she picked her pillow up.
" Not yet, but there will be!", Brian laughed as he suddenly bolted out of the room and sprinted down the hallway to his room.
" Oh God he's going to grab his pillow! Let's get him Dr. Cooper!", Meghann laughed.
" Now hold on, wait a second! Are you suggesting that we gang up on your brother?!", Sheldon asked.
" Yeah, why not?!", Meghann laughed.
" I never thought of that.", Sheldon said. He thought for a minute before he interjected, " Alright, let's get him Meghann!"
" Oh yeah! You're minced meat Brian! Prepare to get your butt whooped by your sister and her roommate!", Meghann laughed as the two roommates bolted out of their room carrying their pillows.
" I don't think so Meghann! I think you and Dr. Cooper should be prepared to get your butts whooped by me!", Brian laughed as he came running out of his room swinging his pillow at them.
" Oh God go go go!", Meghann laughed as she ran past Sheldon and ran toward the stairs. Sheldon followed her and the two of them ran down the stairs with Meghann laughing at the top of her lungs and Sheldon laughing, " Oh good Lord! Not my face! Not my face!" as Brian chased after them winging his pillow. The 3 of them ran into the kitchen swinging their pillows at each other which caught the attention of Mr. and Mrs. Brissette who were sitting at the table together watching a movie on Mr. Brissette's laptop. The noise made them pause the movie and look up over the screen at the scene before them.
" Hey hey hey! What are you three doing?!", the married couple scolded.
" Dr. Cooper and I were trying to have a little fun upstairs throwing pillows at each other and Brian decided to join us! We now sort of turned this into a pillow war!", Meghann laughed as she swung her pillow at her brother hitting him in the face.
" Who's idea was it to do this?!", Mr. Brissette scolded.
" That was your daughter! She started it by throwing her pillow at me so I threw mine back at her and now, well, here we are!", Sheldon interjected as he swung his pillow at Brian.
" Ok this is not the place to be doing this! We're trying to watch a movie on Netflix in here so please take this little fiasco back upstairs or go down to the basement and do it there!", Mrs. Brissette scolded.
" Is there enough room down there Mom?!", Meghann laughed.
" Yes Meghann, there's plenty of room down there to do whatever the hell you want! You three can go nuts down there but not in here! So scram! Go!", Mrs. Brissette scolded.
" Ok! Last one down there is a rotten egg!", Meghann laughed as she ran down the basement stairs.
" Move it or lose it!", Brian laughed as he shoved past Sheldon.
" Aw, why am I always the last one!", Sheldon interjected as he trudged down the stairs, shutting the door behind him.
" Ok now where were we Brad?", Mrs. Brissette asked as she sat back down next to her husband.
" Patience Linda it's got to warm back up.", Mr. Brissette said to his wife as he pressed play on the keyboard. Their movie resumed after a few seconds. As they continued to watch their movie they were suddenly interrupted by a loud crash coming from the basement.
" Oh God! What now?!", Mrs. Brissette groaned as she slapped her hand against her forehead. Mr. Brissette paused the movie again and walked over to the basement door.
" What happened down there?! What was that crash?!", Mr. Brissette hollered down the stairs.
" That was just the bookcase Dad!", Meghann hollered back.
" Well who knocked it over?!", Mr. Brissette hollered.
" That was Dr. Cooper!", Brian hollered.
" Excuse me but that was merely an accident Brian! I was trying hit you with my pillow but you ducked your head down which caused that unwanted angle of trajectory toward that bookcase! I told you that was going to happen when you stood in front of it like a hippie but you didn't listen to me!", Sheldon interjected.
" Oh come on! What are you talking about?! I only ducked my head at the last second after I said, " Come and hit me Doc!", Brian laughed.
" Exactly and another thing, please refrain from calling me that!", Sheldon interjected.
" What happened down there?", Mrs. Brissette asked her husband.
" Nothing except Dr. Cooper accidentally knocked a bookcase over.", Mr. Brissette said as he shook his head.
" Oh great, this is going to be a fun adventure having this guy in our house.", Mrs. Brissette groaned as she massaged her head.
" I couldn't agree with you more.", Mr. Brissette said as he shut the basement door.
