It looked like time had stood still. Leonard's coat was carelessly thrown over the back of the couch, like he was just rushed in from work a few minutes ago.
"It's kind of strange, being in here after this long." Penny said, taking a few steps into the apartment. Sheldon just stood in the doorway looking around.
"So, where exactly would you like to start?" Sheldon asked. Penny could see the panic look in his eyes, like he was doing everything to not bolt back into Penny's apartment.
"How bout the kitchen?" Penny said, since she figured they wouldn't run into a lot of Leonard's things in there.
"Well, let's do this." Sheldon said, finally making his way into the apartment.
Something on the counter caught Penny's attention. "There's my cell phone. I thought I lost it in the accident."
"I found it in the couch that morning. It must have slipped out of your pocket the night before when we was playing 'Halo'." Sheldon said, while pulling something out of the cupboards.
"It's really a good thing then that I've known your number by heart or I wouldn't be able to give it to them that night." Penny said, causing Sheldon to stop what he was doing and look at her. "What?"
"You remember giving them my number? Back in the hospital you said you couldn't remember any of it."
"I guess some of that night is starting to come back. They said it might come back after a while."
"So, what exactly do you remember?"
A bright light flashed out of nowhere, causing Penny to stir a bit. Even with her eyes shut she could still see it.
"Turn it off" She groaned out, trying to turn away from the light, only to have a shrill pain shoot through her body.
"Miss! Miss, can you hear me?" Came a voice Penny never heard before. Finally opening her eyes and after letting them adjust to the light she saw a man standing over her.
"Yeah, I hear you." she rasped out looking around she took in that she was in what was left of Leonard's car. The whole driver's side was completely smashed in and if Penny wasn't mistaken the windshield was gone.
"Can you tell me your name" the guy asked, as he place a neck brace on her.
"Penny…Penny Griffin."
"Well, Penny I'm Andy. We're doing everything we can to get you out of here. You're very luck that you are alive."
"Sheldon." Penny rasped out, the making it hard to talk.
"Excuse me?" Andy asked.
"Sheldon Cooper. Call him." Penny said, the world starting to turn black again.
"We're loosing her!" Andy shouted to someone behind him, before everything faded.
"So, you still don't remember anything before the accident." Sheldon asked, he was sitting on his spot on the couch. It surprised Penny on how long it took him to sit there, seeing he hadn't been in the apartment in almost two months.
"No, I'm really wanting to what happened during. I hope I remember soon."
"Yeah." Sheldon said. He was starting to dread that any day now Penny could remember. And she could find out that she here to Leonard. He's still hoping that she wasn't.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Amy asked a few hours later. They had gotten over half of the kitchen done before calling it a day. It wasn't much but at least it was a start.
"Very funny. I have never heard that before." Penny said, rolling her eyes.
"No, seriously bestie. What is going on in that beautiful mind of yours?"
"Sheldon." Penny said, with a sigh.
"I should have guessed." Amy said, earning a glare from Penny.
"I heard him say something the other day that I wasn't suppose to hear. And now I have no idea on how to bring it up to him."
"What exactly did you hear?"
"You should know. He was talking to you." Penny said, causing Amy to give her a confused look.
"What are you…Oh!" Amy said as it finally hit her what Penny was talking about. "You were suppose to have been asleep."
"I was. I woke up."
"And decided to eavesdrop?"
"Will you please help me with this and not scold me."
"Yeah, I'll help. Man, two of my best friends is going to get together because of my help. Sounds like something out of a movie."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have any ideas or what?"
"You could just, I don't know, tell him you know. You love him, he loves you. What's holding you back?"
"Leonard. I don't want Sheldon as a rebound over my dead boyfriend. I don't think I've ever felt this way for anyone, not even Leonard. My feelings for him is so intense, and I really do not was to spook him away. You know how Sheldon is when you try to push him."
"Well, all I can tell you bestie, is that you aren't going to know what going on through Sheldon Cooper's strange head until you talk to him."
"Yeah, I know. I just don't know when the right time is to bring it up."
"Well, there is no better time then the present." Amy said, as both women looked up to see Sheldon walk into Penny's bedroom.
Seeing both Penny and Amy staring at him caused him to stop in his tracks. "What?"
"Nothing, sweetie." Penny said, causing both women to burst into a laughing fit. The look on Sheldon's face caused the laughter to get louder.
