The Class Reunion Chapter 9, a big bang theory fanfic

A/N- Only a short chapter today, the next one will be longer.

Thank you all again for the follows, reviews , favourites - it makes me very happy.

Knock, knock, knock, "Penny."

Penny opened her eyes, then yelled to Sheldon at the other side of the door. "Go away Sheldon, it's only," she grabbed her clock and looked at the time. "ssssh, oh christ."

Knock, knock, knock, "Penny."

"Just a sec." she grabbed a robe and pulled it around herself. "Come in."

Sheldon opened the door and walked into her room, closing the door behind him.

"Penny it is almost 1.00pm in the afternoon, I need you to come downstairs, I have nothing more to talk to your parents. Can you believe they didn't even know that Issac Newton invented calculus, it's no wonder you didn't finish community college."

Penny cleared her throat, "Sheldon my parents lack of calculus knowledge has nothing to do with me not finishing college."

"Community college." he corrected her.

"Ok, community college. Now is there anything else you came in here to talk about other than insulting me."

"Insulting you? How was I insulting you?" Sheldon looked surprised.

"Don't worry about it." Penny opened up her blind and the window. "I'm sorry I slept in so late, I'll just shower and be downstairs in a jiffy."

"Alrighty then. I will be in my room."

As he left Penny turned to watch him leave and under her breath said "And I'm sorry for my parents I left them with you."

"So the reunion starts at 7.30pm, it will take about 20 minutes to get there from here and dad has lent me his car for the night, so I'm going to start to get ready"

Sheldon looked at his watch, "It's only 4.30pm, what could you possibly need to do that would take 2 hours and 40 minutes."

"Oh did I mention I was going to go get my hair done? See you in a bit." she closed the door to his room and trotted down the stairs, she was really looking forward to tonight and she wanted to look her very best.

At exactly 7.10pm Penny walked down the stairs. She was wearing an off the shoulder pink silk dress with a flower motif at the front of it, on her feet were a killer pair of stilettos with a lovely diamante butterfly ornament and she was carrying a satin silver clutch. Sheldon turned to look at her as she entered the room and Penny was certain she saw him twitch, she took it as a good sign and she smiled at him, he looked nice tonight, in his black suit, and he had agreed to wear the soft pink shirt that Penny had bought for him with a black tie.

"Wow look at you two! Hey Pammy come have a look at your little girl." Wyatt was clearly proud of his daughter.

Pamela walked into the lounge room and stood and looked at her daughter, she looked beautiful. "Aww sweetie you look lovely you will be the most beautiful girl there tonight." she hugged Penny.

Penny looked up at her date who was still looking at her. "Ready to go Sheldon?"

As they drove down the road towards the reunion Sheldon turned to Penny and said. "Penny you look very nice tonight." and he looked down at his hands.

Penny smiled and answered. "Thank you Sheldon, you look very dapper yourself. You know you do scrub up very well for a physicist."

"Although those shoes really aren't the best to wear whilst driving. You should wear enclosed flat shoes or wear sneakers, preferably ones without laces that could get caught on the peddles and send us to a fiery death."

"Are you serious, sneakers with this dress!"

They pulled up in the carpark and Penny turned the engine off and then just sat there.

Sheldon sat there quietly for about 1 minute and then said. "So we just sit in the car all evening, seems a waste that you went out and bought a new dress and shoes."

Penny started to laugh, then went silent for about 30 seconds. "I'm really nervous and I don't know why Sheldon."

"Penny did I tell you that you look very attractive tonight, I noticed that you aren't wearing much makeup."

Penny turned and looked at Sheldon "Well you mentioned it on the train that I looked better without it, so I thought if my boyfriend, I meant if you think I look better with little makeup and you came all the way here for me, well then."

Sheldon looked at Penny "It suits you."

"Thank you sweetie. Well you ready?"
