Writer's note: Sorry for the delay but I just moved to another city as a first year university student and I have neither time nor internet connection to update. Thankfully I went back home for the weekend.

So, this is the final part, I hope you like it. Please review.

I know I don't own The Big bang theory but this is my story. Whoever wants it must get my permission!


Five o'clock.

Penny was coming back from shopping. It was her day off, so she thought to take a walk , maybe buy a t-shirt or a dress. After all she had a date. It was her first after a long time and she was going to enjoy it, even if it was with Sheldon.

She bought a red dress and new shoes, had her hair made , her nails polished, she was even searching for new underwear until she realised it was too much.


As soon as she unlocked her door the boys' door opened and Wolowitz with Raj walked out laughing with an angry Sheldon staring at them.

'What's up guys? Why is Sheldon ready to explode?' she asked.

'Oh, nothing, he just doesn't like my comments.' Howard answered.

'No one likes your comments.' Penny replied.

'Yeah, especially when you are referring to my sex life and the current state of it.' Sheldon added.

Penny shook her head. That could not have escaped Sheldon's mouth.

'Ok, what happened?' she asked again.

'Howard was a little harsh on him. He is just jealous of women's behaviour towards Sheldon.' Leonard said standing at the door frame.

Women's behaviour towards Sheldon? That was interesting.

'Why would I be jealous of him? They were treating him as a teddy bear.' Howard said.

'The word 'cute' could support your hypothesis but I believe that other pronouncements such us 'charming' , 'smart', 'gentle' and a specific reference to my body temperature would not make sense for a lifeless object.' Sheldon said.

It seemed that the clock was ticking. Old Sheldon could be permanently back in any minute.

'Leonard?' Penny asked her ex to translate.

'OK, yesterday, at work when people realised Sheldon's change there were various reactions. Some were making fun of him, others were just curious while others, females specifically, found him rather interesting. They liked the change ,of what I got.' He answered.

Raj whispered something at Howard' s ear. 'I know that!' he replied.

Raj repeated his action explaining something to him.

'Oh, yes, you are right. What do you have to say about that first year student?' Wolowitz asked Sheldon.

'Come on Howard, you can't be serious? She was just a little girl who met her idol.' Leonard said.

'I don't mean that geek girl with the glasses that could barely speak thinking Sheldon as a God. I mean the one that was at his office or should I say ON his office.' Howard said.

'What?' Penny said shocked.

'Wha.. When did that happened? Sheldon?' Leonard said.

Sheldon was spinning his head trying to catch everyone's expression.

'It's not how it sounds. You didn't stay to hear my explanation and what's more, learn to knock.' he said and paused.

'She wanted me to help her pass one of her subjects and she used the only means of persuasion she had. I asked Dr. Hudson about her and she described her as a dangerous psychopath that will never pass her lesson no matter how many years pass.' he added.

'You talked to Dr. Hudson?' Howard asked shocked.

'Yeah.' Sheldon answered.

'Who is Dr. Hudson?' Penny asked.

'She's like the university's goddess. Aphrodite.' Wolowitz said.

'Another goddess?' Penny said mocking him.

'He is exaggerating. She is beautiful, you've seen her. Remember a magazine I gave you once? She was in the front page, you said she was pretty.' Leonard said.

'Yeah, I don't remember.' Penny said.

'How did you do that?' Howard asked him.

'She saw Ms. Evans leaving my office and got in. She is a remarkable person. I think I could have a conversation with her.' Sheldon said.

'I could have a child with her!' Howard said.

'Did you asked her?' Penny told him.

'Penny is right, for such a commitment she has to be asked. Here , call her.' Sheldon said and took a small piece of paper out of his wallet.

'You took her phone number?' Penny asked.

'She gave it to me. She said I am a nice guy after all no matter what they say. However if Wolowitz is in such a need he could have it. Here take it.' Sheldon said and gave him the piece of paper.

'Are you sure?' Howard asked.

'Yes, here, take it.' Sheldon repeated.

Howard took it and looked at it with admiration.

'You are the best friend one could ask. At least at this version.' Howard said and tried to hug him but Sheldon stepped back.

'The dream is over.' The Jew said under his breath and left.

Penny, Leonard and Sheldon were standing at the hall.

'So, you had a weird day, yesterday.' she said.

'Well, I did what you said. Ignored them.' Sheldon said.

'Did you got what you wanted?' she asked.

'My office and some of the places brought back a few memories but the people got me confused.' Sheldon answered.

'People always confuse you.' Leonard said.

'I read some of the books there, but it is all mixed up.' Sheldon said ignoring Leonard

'Don't worry, sweetie, it will come back to you.' Penny said.

'I hope so. I see you went shopping. Does that mean we are still going out tonight?' Sheldon asked.

'Of course we are, Shakespeare is expecting us.' Penny said and unlocked her door.

'You and Penny are going to the theatre?' Leonard asked as they were getting in.


19: 55 pm.

Sheldon was going to knock in any minute. Penny was ready. She was wearing her new red dress and new shoes, her hair down, a shawl on her back and a small purse on her hand. She was waiting.

Eight o'clock and shadow can be seen under the door.

Knock, knock, knock ,'Penny' Sheldon knocked once.

Penny waited for his other two knocks but it didn't happen. She smiled. She was going to make him knock three times either he wanted to or not.

She remained silent in front of the door, waiting.

Knock, knock, knock , 'Penny!'

She sat on her couch; she was going to enjoy this.

Sheldon was waiting, tapping his foot. Penny was on the verge of laughing.

Knock, knock, knock , 'Penny!', three times. Penny got up and opened the door smiling.

'Hi, Sheldon.' she said.

'Hi, you look … beautiful. Here, these are for you.' He said and gave her a bouquet of roses.

'Sheldon, that's … you didn't have to do it.' she said and placed them in the vase with the rest of them.

'Of course I had, a gentleman always offers flowers to a lady when they go out on a formal date.' he said. Penny pretended she didn't hear the last part.

'What is more, I didn't give you your rose this morning. My supplies were mysteriously disappeared.' he added.

Penny smiled. He looked so different. Maybe words as charming and cute were describing him.

He was wearing the black suit they had bought for his speech. It still amazed her how good he looked in it.

She grabbed his arm and walked out in the hall.

'They are beautiful, thank you.' she said placing a soft kiss on his cheek. The truth was he was the first one who had offered her roses. It was an amazing feeling.

'So, in which play are we going to?' she asked him. 'Romeo and Juliet?' she added.

'No, King Leer.' he answered and they walked down the stairs.


23:30 pm

The play was over and the two of them headed to the restaurant. Penny didn't expect anything formal or luxurious so when they stopped in front of 'The Black Rose.' she was surprised.

'Sheldon, that's very expensive!' she said when they entered.

The atmosphere was very romantic with candles, dim light, red and white fabrics everywhere and wooden antiques. An orchestra was playing in front of a dancing alley.

'Well, I think that expensive is something that each persons values different. For some people a diamond is something valuable and expensive while for others , a moment with their loved ones, is something that cannot be valued.' Sheldon answered walking towards the reception.

'Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper.' he told the man and he showed them the way to their table.

'The Black Rose welcomes you, the waiter will be here in a minute.' he said and left.

'You have a thing with roses, don't you?' Penny told Sheldon.

'No, I don't, you do.' he replied.

'No, I don't.' Penny said.

'Yes, you do. One day while you where at my apartment you said that you had seen a couple in the street and the man was buying roses for his girlfriend and you claimed it to be romantic, wonderful and something that would never happen to you.' Sheldon replied.

Penny was surprised. She remembered that couple but that had happened days ago. Maybe Sheldon never left, maybe he was always there, trying to find the right moments to take control.

'It is true.' she said and smiled.

The waiter came and took their orders. A minute later the wine had come and Sheldon poured some in their glasses.

'You are going to drink?' Penny asked him.

'I was intending to.' He answered.

'But you never drink, well, except from the times that I make you drink but the results are never good.' she said. She did not want to deal with a drunk Sheldon. It was too good for a glass of wine to spoiled it.

'What do you mean?' He asked.

'Let's just say that the pants you are wearing were taken off in front of hundreds of people and more than a thousand have seen it on you tube.' she answered.

'Oh, OK, then, I will drink water.' he said.


The night was going well. They were eating and discussing about the play. Most importantly Sheldon listened to her. She was going to miss that.

They talked about her non- existing career as an actress and other perspectives. They talked about her childhood because Sheldon had no memory of his own but he did speak of the secrets of the universe.

Some sounded interesting and fascinating while others did not make any sense. He got that and forced himself to stop.

After that they stopped talking. Penny looked around. Their table was next to the dancing alley. They orchestra was playing nice songs, soft, romantic.

There were a few people dancing. Young couples and old.

'You want to dance?' Sheldon asked her.

'No, it's OK.' she answered.

'But you are staring at the dancing alley.' he said.

'I am not. I just like the song.' she said.

'So, you want to dance.' Sheldon said.

'No, Sheldon, I'm fine.' she said

'Come.' he said and grabbed her hand. 'If you want to dance then get up and dance.' he said and took her to the dancing alley.

He put his trembling hands around her waist and started dancing.

Penny looked at him. He was very decisive. His hold became more and more firm as the minutes past.

He was a good dancer. She always thought he would be clumsy because of his height. Actually she would never believe that Sheldon Cooper would even care about dancing. However he was good.

He was kind.

Gentle.

Charming.

Smart.

Cute, and she had come to wonder about the temperature of his body.

After all these Penny had realised that the doctor was wrong. Sheldon had not create a new personality. This was Sheldon. The grown up Sheldon, the adult he could have become if they had let him.

He had lost so much. He had gone to college when he was eleven, for goodness sakes! They didn't let him to be a kid. That's why he was the way he was. He was trying to get back his childhood. The one he never had.

Sheldon was mend to be one of the greatest minds of the century and a charming man. They just didn't give him the chance.

She understood that now.

However he was still an annoying whack-a-doodle.


01:00 am.

Penny's and Sheldon's date was over. They were climbing up the stairs quietly in order not to wake up the neighbours.

They were whispering a few words from time to time and giggle but it was not audible.

When they reached their floor their alarm went off.

'I don't think we are going to wake up anyone in this floor.' Penny said.

'Well, you don't want to wake up Leonard.' Sheldon said making her laugh.

'I like your laugh.' Sheldon said and Penny stopped.

'I had a wonderful night, thank you.' she said.

'Me too, it was more than I can describe. However, I got a little nervous when all those people were staring at us but it was al right.' he told her.

'Of course they were staring at us, we were dancing, and we were doing it very good. I didn't know you had it in you.' Penny said.

'Me neither, it was like my feet were leading the rest of my body, automatically.' Sheldon replied.

'Well, if you do it once, you never forget. Maybe it was a thing you and your mum had a special agreement.' Penny said.

'I don't know, I don't remember.' Sheldon said and sighed. 'Penny, it has been almost two weeks since that accident and my memory is still week. I remember my family and you, yesterday I remembered something that had to do with paintball...'

'Oh, yes...' Penny interrupted him.

'But what kind of guy am I? Why do you say I have changed? Was I bad? Nobody in the University seemed to like me.' Sheldon said.

'Stop, tonight it was a good night. The best day off I ever had. We saw King Leer, a wonderful play, we went to the Black Rose, we ate, we talked, we laughed, we danced, don't spoiled it with doubts. It will come to you.

The only thing I can say is that you seem to be a very annoying person which gets in my and a lot of people's nerves, you talk too much, lecturing about things common people don't know and you are a little bit childish.' she said.

'Flash T-shirts?' Sheldon asked.

'Your favourites. But that's just an image. You're caring and a really good friend, you always help when others are in trouble, you talk too much because you want others to learn even if it is annoying, you always tell the truth and what's on your mind, some people appreciate it others no. You are childish but innocent, you would never hurt a fly, except if it was Wheaton or Kripky.

You are gentle in your own way, cute, charming, funny. Some don't get it, some do. I am one of those people and that's what I love in you.' Penny said almost in one breath.

Silence fell between them. They looked at each other. Penny couldn't resist. She had to end it that way. She took a step forward, rapped her arms around his head and left a soft kiss on his lips.

Sheldon did not move. He stayed there for a moment and when Penny broke the kiss he took a step forward and repeated.

A soft brush on the lips at first, then a firm hold and a burst.

He let himself free and kissed her passionately.

That was the moment. The one you can not value.

The moment had ended. They parted and stood a moment, eyes closed.

Then a sound was heard. Penny opened her eyes.

'Oh, God, Leonard!'


The next day...

Penny was getting ready for work when her doorbell rang. It was a guy holding a bouquet of red and white roses.

'Do I know you?' Penny asked him not being able to remember his face.

'No, miss, I am the delivery boy from the Florist's , we were told to deliver this bouquet today, at this hour. Will you sign here, please?' the delivery boy said and gave her a paper.

'Do you have ten bugs?' Penny asked him.

'No, why?' he replied.

'Then you won't get five bugs tip. Bye.' she told him and he left saying unflattering things under his breath.

Penny admired the bouquet. It was beautiful with red and white roses. It had a card too.

'To you by me'

She smiled. It was pity that the person who wrote it didn't remember it.

The door across the hall opened and Sheldon got out.

'Oh, hi Penny.' he said.

'Hi, Sheldon, how are you?'

'I am a little dizzy. I was told I suffered a temporary amnesia and character changing. Alas I can't recall the last few weeks. The doctor said it is normal and I shouldn't be worried, but I do.' He answered.

'A, 'Fine thanks', would do but whatever, I am glad you are back.' Penny said.

'I doubt about that.' Sheldon said.

'Excuse me?' Penny replied.

'It was you who knocked me on the head, wasn't it? I was the last one entering your apartment, no one except you was in, so it was you.' Sheldon said.

'You shouldn't enter people's apartments at two o'clock in the morning. I thought you were a thief.' Penny said.

Sheldon did not replied. He took a look at Penny's roses.

'Someone send you roses?' He asked her.

'Yes, they are beautiful, aren't they?' Penny said and smelled them.

'Hardly, except from the danger of the hidden bees, there are both white and red. That's wrong.' Sheldon said.

'What? Why? How can a bouquet be wrong? I thought you liked colours.' Penny replied.

'Well, I do, but this is wrong. Both colours send mixed up messages. White shows innocence, purity, platonic love while red shows passion and deep love with further perspectives. Whoever send this to you was either very confused or just an idiot.' Sheldon said.

Penny laughed.

'Well, an idiot, no he is not but confused would be a word for him. Anyway, I don't care about the messages. No, in fact I like these messages, I like red and white and the one who sent it is kind, gentle and smart.' Penny said.

Sheldon smiled a little. 'OK, it's none of my concern. I must leave now. Bye Penny.'

He said and left. Penny turned around to get in her apartment but suddenly stopped.

She could swear she heard Sheldon saying thanks.

They were the only ones in the hall.
