Again, sorry for the wait! This one is a little short, but that's why I'm calling it a drabble.
#6: Tell her she's beautiful.
"Leonard, make me feel better."
"Why? What's wrong?" he asked, turning his head to look at her.
"Ugh, this show," she said, putting her head on his shoulder.
"I thought you liked it," Leonard said.
"It's Friends. Everybody likes it," Penny said.
"Penny, what's bothering you?"
She sighed. "Fine." Pausing the DVD, she sat up and looked at him. "Rachel Green was a spoiled daddy's girl who threw herself into the world, did what she had to to get by, had failure after failure, and ended up this well rounded, sought after woman with a career that she built from the ground and just everything that she wanted. She persevered and she made it, and…" Penny shrugged. "I've been here seven years and have a brief, completely unrewarding acting career and probably a tenth of a college career."
"And a year ago you didn't have any tenths," Leonard said. "Which is progress, right?"
She shrugged. "I guess." She looked back at the screen. "Plus Jennifer Aniston's just super pretty."
"You know who else is super pretty?" Leonard asked, sliding his arm around her shoulders.
Penny turned slightly pink. "Stop it."
"What?" Leonard said. "Like you don't know that you're super pretty."
"No, I know," Penny said, smiling. "Or at least that's what I'm told. But you know what?" she said, tapping his nose. "It sounds so much more special coming from you."
"Well," Leonard said, "good. That's what I was going for."
Penny cuddled back closer to him. "Plus I'm luckier than Rachel anyway. Holograms are much cooler than dinosaurs."
Leonard laughed. "I guess I picked the right line of work, Pretty Girl."
Penny slapped him lightly on the chest. "Stop it."
