Penny was excited. Sheldon was taking her out on their first real date and he wouldn't tell her where he was taking her. As soon as her shift finished at the cheesecake factory, she raced home to get ready. She put on a pale yellow chiffon skater dress and paired it with a pair of black high heeled ankle boots and a black leather jacket. She put a bit of makeup and waited for Sheldon to pick her up. For some reason, she had a massive sense of déjà vu and only hope that this date wouldn't end like it did last time.

At 7 o'clock sharp, Sheldon was at her door.

Knock knock knock

'Who do we love?' Penny cried.

'Penny.' Sheldon's voice sounded annoyed but she knew his OCD prevented him from putting up a fight and she giggled.

Knock knock knock

'Who do we love?'

'Penny.'

Knock knock knock

'Who do we love?'

'Penny.'

'Hello Sheldon,' Penny smiled opening the door to a surprise. Sheldon was dressed completely different than usual… in fact he looked as if he had been styled by a personal shopper. He was in black jeans, a grey and white chequered shirt with a thin black tie and black Vans. Instead of his usual old man jacket, he wore a high collared tailored black coat and Penny thought he looked extremely sexy, especially with his hair slightly ruffled.

'Sheldon, did you get a personal shopper to style you?' she asked, crossing her arms, raising her eyebrow and letting a smirk form across her face. Sheldon blushed and nodded.

'Well I wanted to look good for our first date.'

'Oh Sheldon, that's so sweet.'

'You look beautiful by the way.' Sheldon smiled and this time it was Penny's turn to blush.

'Thank you.' She said softly. Sheldon had learnt his lesson from last time. Compliment her on her looks instead of complimenting her on how she was ready on time. He wouldn't be making that mistake again. 'So where are we going?' Penny asked and Sheldon smiled.

'We are going to Lindy Groove.'

'What's that?'

'I don't know. Amy drove past it once with me in the car and the name intrigued me, so I figured we should go there.'

'But it could be a brothel or something.' Penny gasped and Sheldon shook his head.

'Please, Wolowitz knows of every brothel in Pasadena, don't you think that I already checked with him.' Sheldon said and Penny smiled.

'Alright, let's go.' She took his arm and he led her towards a waiting taxi.

When they arrived inside the building, both were hit with the sound of live music and people laughing. They placed their belongings and jackets in a locker and made their way towards the main hall.

'Wow Sheldon, its swing dancing.' Penny smiled gleefully and Sheldon looked at all the people dancing around.

'Is it adequate for you or do you wish to go elsewhere?' he asked and Penny shook her head.

'No, I want to stay here.' Penny grinned and so Sheldon handed over the $8 entry fee for each of them. Penny was fascinated to see all the people dancing and all the smiles and laughter that adorned people's faces. Suddenly the live band began to play the introduction to Cody Simpson's song "La Da Dee", which happened to be one of her favourite songs. 'I love this song!' she cried and Sheldon took a deep breath, grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dance floor.

Penny had never felt so elated before in her life and she couldn't stop laughing or smiling as Sheldon spun her around to the song. She remembered watching Sheldon's awkward dancing with Amy before but this was something else, Sheldon was almost normal. Sheldon spun her out before reeling her back in and Penny just felt the sparks and the butterflies in her stomach just fly.

'I had no idea you were such a good dancer.' Penny told him as spun her around.

'I have a confession,' Sheldon yelled over the music as he lifted her up.

'Oh?'

'I've been coming here for the past year. I saw swing dancing on a documentary and it was anything can happen Thursday so I decided to learn how to do it.'

'Oh wow Sheldon! I had no idea! That seems to explain a lot,' Penny cried as he set her down in front of him again.

'There are many things about Sheldon Lee Cooper you don't know.' He smiled, pulling her close.

'Sheldon, I'm having such a good time! Let's make this our song.' Penny laughed as the song came to an end, however she didn't move away from him.

'If you want it to be, I definitely enjoyed dancing to it with you.' Sheldon smiled. Penny gazed into his eyes and started to lean in for a kiss, but it was sod's law for her and a new song started, which gave Sheldon the opportunity to pull away and start a new dance with her. She was slightly disappointed that she didn't get to kiss Sheldon, but she decided not to push for anything. Things would happen in their own time and she was not one interfere with fate. The rest of the date went swimmingly well and Sheldon even carried her up the stairs because her feet hurt so much from dancing.

'Thank you for the great date Sheldon, I think we should do it again,' Penny smiled and Sheldon nodded.

'I agree… how about tomorrow?' Sheldon smiled and Penny nodded eagerly.

'Of course,' she kissed his cheek before bidding him goodnight. And with that they both entered their own apartments and retired to bed.

I know its short guys but I wanted to concentrate just on their date, you know keep it short, sweet and simple. I hope you enjoyed it and let me know what you thought xx
