Present Day

Sheldon and Penny went to the mall later that morning, not that Sheldon had been happy but Penny had talked Sheldon into a little Christmas shopping for everyone. She pointed out for her it was over two months since she had been shopping, so she was wanting to get her mojo back.

Bernadette, Amy, Missy and Christine had come along so Penny had told Sheldon that he could go where he wanted within the centre but that he was to meet them in the food hall for lunch.

Sheldon sprinted over to the toy store to look at the trains, Penny watched and chuckled to herself at the child like eagerness Sheldon had to go toy shopping. She was always amazed that the child man that she loved could be so focused on solving the universe one minute and playing with toys the next. Yes they were toys no matter how he and the rest of the boys would protest.

Penny thought about the conversation that she and Sheldon had that morning about Stuart, once she was settled back into her life, she would have to see which of her friends might be right for Stuart. She thought Anna at the Cheesecake Factory, she was a little shy and as far as she knew she did not have a boyfriend at the moment.

Her thoughts were broken by Missy and Christine who were dragging her into Victoria Secret determined to make sure she picked the right ensemble for her to wear to get Shelly's motor running as her sister had said.

"Come Pen" Christine said as she pulled Penny into the shop

"Chrissie no we are ready yet"

"Honey if you wait for Sheldon, you will die of frustration" Missy said pulling on her other arm.

'Bernadette, Amy help please"

"Sorry Bestie but you must put your Amazonian body in some sexy underwear, grab that man and make him your slave"

"Amy"

"No Amy is right Penny" said Bernadette "You need to give a little loving to that man"

"We are not ready yet, I just got out of hospital and oh that red ensemble with the little yellow lightning rod is so Sheldon"

"My brother will faint when he sees ya in that Penny"

"Yea Sis, you in that and he will rip it off you with those long fingers and make you squirm with his long"

"Christine!"

"Oh honey ya Sister got the idea"

Amy and Bernadette chuckled as they watch Penny getting all flustered and turned on at the same time by Christine's and Missy's teasing.

"Come on bestie" Amy added "If you cannot get Sheldon to show he is all man under those clothes no one can"

"Wait a minute, I do not want to rush things here"

"Rush things" Sheldon said

"Sheldon" Penny exclaimed as she hid the ensemble behind her back "What you doing here"

"Peeking not doubt" Missy said teasing Sheldon

"Missy, Penny still has her clothes on and a gentleman never peeks, I brought you my debit card so you could buy yourself things Penny"

"Thank you Moonpie"

"Well I will meet you in the food court in an hour then"

"See ya Moonpie"

Sheldon left and Penny turned around to see the girls staring at her.

"What!"

"When did Shelly allow anyone but Meemaw to call him Moonpie?"

"Jealously Missy"

"Damn girl, my brother has fallen in love, sorry Amy"

"No need Missy, Sheldon heart has always belong to another I can see that now, anyways I have found me a Dark Skinned Adonis to satisfy my lions"

"Amy we really need to talk about what you say sometimes" Bernadette said

"Oh let her be Bernie" Missy said "She is like my brother, she says what she feels, it may sound weird but at least it is the truth"

"Ok everyone back to shopping" Christine said "Penny has the man's card and two months to make up"

Sheldon chuckled as he left Victoria Secret, he had seen the ensemble and it did indeed get his motor running. But Sheldon also knew Penny was right, it was too early for them, they needed to get there at their pace and he was frightened that he would not be good.

"Looking for new under garments Sheldon"

Sheldon turned and came face to face with Leonard, wearing dark glasses to cover up the black eye that Sheldon could just see around the rim

"No Leonard"

"You really think you have a shot with her"

"Yes I love Penny and she loves me"

"Oh please Sheldon, quit daydreaming, Penny will get bored with you after the first time you have sex"

"I do not believe so Leonard and I do not believe it is any concern of yours what we do"

"Just trying to look after my old buddy, I mean you could not even do it with Amy"

"Amy and I"

"Stop making excuses Sheldon, you will never last with Penny, she will get bored with you"

"What like Malibu Barbie got bored with you Leonard?"

"Leslie"

"Leonard, Leave Doctor Dumbass alone, you are about as manly as a bowl of jelly"

"This is none of your business and when do you stick up for Sheldon"

"You're right this may not be any of my business but when you pick on my family you make it my business"

"Your family"

"Yes did ya not know Leonard, Sheldon's father was my momma brother"

"What!"

"Yeah, growing up it was all about my brilliant cousin, that is why I am mean to him, got to bring down to my level somehow"

"Always thought you were weird"

"Well thank you Leonard, if I am as half as weird as Shelly then I am four times smarter than you, plus you were crap in bed"

"GET LOST WINKLE" Leonard said as he stormed off

"Thank you Leslie"

"Hey Dumbass I get to make you feel like shit no one else ok"

"LESLIE" Missy said as she and the rest of the girls came out of the store.

"Hey Missy"

"Missy you know Leslie" Penny asked

"Of course, she's my cousin"

"WHAT" Penny exclaimed

"Yep Leslie Anne Cooper Winkle, my pa's sisters daughter"

"Holy crap on a cracker" Penny said "Sheldon why did you not tell anyone"

"No asked therefore I did not tell"

"Shelly has always been Private Penny "Leslie said "Even when we were kids, unless you asked him about something that happened or tickled him until he spilled the beans, you never found out about the bullies etc."

"What ya doing Les "Missy asked

"Just finished some Chrissie shopping and saving Sheldon from Leonard the Loser"

"Leonard was here"

"Yeah giving Shelly a hard time"

"It was alright Penny"

"Ok if you say so but I did not think after the beating you gave him last night he would try again so soon"

"YOU BEAT UP LEONARD" Missy and Leslie said together

"Yes, as distressing as it was, he was keying Penny's car near the comic book store after we had a confrontation in the store"

"Well it looks like you did a number on him Cousin because he looked like he had a nice shiner"

"Hey Leslie, you doing anything for Chrissie"

"Yeah travelling back to see the folks"

"Too bad momma would have loved to see ya"

"Give Aunt Mary my love "

"Will do"

"Well got to go, see ya around everyone"

Leslie left and Penny grabbed Sheldon's arm

"Well my hero, how about we all get something to eat before we hit some more stores"

"Ok Penny lead the way"

A/n I know that Leslie is not his cousin in the show but I was thinking that she would be fun to have fighting for Penny and Sheldon, Thought about her and Stuart together but I want to create someone for him.
