Future fic based off of 7.15 "The Locomotive Manipulation" - though this time its Penny and Sheldon who're dating

"Why do you never call me Little Lady?"

"What do you mean, Penny?"

"When you were dating Amy, you sometimes called her "Little Lady," which was a far sight better than "Gollum" or "Flaky."

"Amy Farrah Fowler was five foot four inches so she was little compared to me."

"Bernadette is shorter."

"Dr. Rostenkowski-Wolowitz is, as they say in the common parlance, a midget. She has to stand on a step stool to look into her peephole."

"So, I'm too big for you to think of me as feminine?"

"Why do you persist in misinterpreting my words? I never said that."

"You don't ever call me cutesy pet names."

"Why does every woman in my life require it? You were born Penelope Ann Watson, so Penny is, in fact, a nickname, yes?"

"Sure, but it's one I had long before I met you and, I dunno, I like knowing you have a name for me that no one else gets to call me. I like having inside jokes with you, something special just for us. I guess it's stupid."

"Now hang on a minute, that's not stupid. An absurd woman thing, but not stupid."

"Gee, thanks."

"No problem, Penny. This is why I"m here for you, to think logically when you can't."

"I don't know how I ever got by without you."

"I'm going to go out on a limb and say, you're being sarcastic now."

"You'd be right."

"Oh goody, I'm getting better at this as now I'm six out of eighteen on the month."

"Even I can do the math on that, Sheldon, and that's not a good percentage."

"It is when last month I was zero for twenty-two."

"Good point."

"Now back to the nickname issue - think about it this way. You don't have a nickname for me, and Moonpie or Sweetie can't count since you appropriated the first from Meemaw and you call everyone the latter."

"Oh I do and its one I know will get you riled."

"Penny, I highly doubt you may find any moniker that will send me into paroxysms of delight."

"I have no idea what you just said, so I'm just gonna have to prove you wrong."

"And what are the terms of our wager?"

"If I win, you have to come up with a nickname. If you win, I will forget this whole thing."

"Deal."

"Deal."

"Now give it your best shot."

"Barry, you're so smart."

"Oh Kitten."

A/N: I know I already wrote a one-shot dealing with nicknames, but I loved playing with it so much, I couldn't resist having Penny and Sheldon have their own conversation while in a relationship. For those you don't get her reference, she's calling him Barry Allen, the name of the Flash, a DC comic book character Sheldon has dressed up as numerous times on the show.
