A/N: Fight scene! I'm sorry if it's not the best fight scene but I really tried. :O! Also: the dashboard Goofy was one of the things that inspired me when I wrote this. Everything is winding down, but the story is far from over :3 Hope you guys enjoy!
Chapter 13
"Goofy! I should have known!" Sheldon snarled, eye twitching as the tall character stepped around the desk, large shoes squeaking as he walked.
Goofy looked down his snout at him and held his gloved palms out.
"Gawrsh, Shelly. Don't act so surprised."
"You don't belong here, Goofy. I'm the mayor, not you."
"I don't understand why you hate me so much." Tilting his head, he let his arms fall to his sides. "And yet you're okie dokie with Pluto."
Sheldon caught a flash of gold in a corner of the room behind Goofy as he spoke, and stood his ground, fists clenched into tight balls.
"Ahyuk, it doesn't matter. That hatred, and Sheldonopolis…it will be all gone soon."
"That doesn't explain why you're here…" Sheldon said through gritted teeth.
Goofy took his hat off and held it to his chest, pretending to wipe a tear away from his eye.
"I can't believe you forgot. I thought you don't forget nothin'."
Forgot…? Sheldon wracked his brain, trying to piece together that the anthropomorphic dog was telling him.
"It all started with how you got here Sheldon." He gave the physicist a toothy smile. Sensing that Sheldon was still at a loss, he began to dance, swaying his hips and gangly arms.
Déjá vu overwhelmed Sheldon, and he remembered:
Before the impact. The little Hula Goofy on the dashboard.
Suddenly, Howard and Raj elicited a battle cry and ran between his legs, aiming for Goofy.
Quickly reaching into his vest, he pulled out what looked to be a tiny blue laser gun and shot twice, leaving two frozen blocks of ice that encased the oompa loompas.
"Oh no you-ARGH!" He dropped the ice gun as Penny pounced from her spot in the shadows onto his back. Her arms locked Goofy in a chokehold.
He growled and bucked, but her hold was strong.
"Sheldon!" She held on tight, true to her junior rodeo reputation. "Sheldon, hurry! I can't hold on much longer!"
Sheldon darted towards weapon, but as he made to grab it, Goofy slammed against the wall, blocking him. Drat! He watched helplessly as Penny wrestled him.
Goofy regained control as he pried Penny off him, and shoved her to the side. Seeing an opening, Sheldon grabbed him by his vest and they fought for dominance.
Punches were thrown but Sheldon was much quicker than Goofy. Unfortunately, Goofy had the strength that he lacked, and he threw Sheldon off.
Tattered and bruised, his chest heaved as he watched Goofy stand over Penny.
"Oh, I see how it is. Ahyuk."
Sheldon's anger flared. No…I will not allow you to lay a finger on her!
"Sweetie…" She said, weakly. "Remember what I told you…"
Anything is possible, Sheldon! Her voice filled his ears, and he felt a heavy weight in his hand. Looking down at it, he knew what he had to do.
It's up to me now. Sheldon Cooper's time to be a hero…
"Goofy!" He cried out. Goofy turned on him, his eyes red in rage. "You forgot one thing…"
"Ahyuk…hyuk..What would that be Sheldon?"
Sheldon graced him with his creepy twisted smile.
"I'm Batman!" He threw the batarang, which lodged itself into Goofy's orange chest. His voice faltered as he tried to pry it out, but as he got closer to the window, Leonard shot out of Sheldon's bag.
"SHEL-DUN!" Leonard landed on Goofy's face with a loud squelch, and he stumbled backwards, breaking the glass.
"NO…! NO! AHHEEOOOOOOWOOO!" The railing of the balcony broke, and Goofy fell to the concrete below. Upon impact, his body shattered, and Leonard lay, alive and well, in the debris.
Sheldon pulled back from the edge and rushed to Penny's side.
"Penny! Penny, are you hurt?" He helped her stand, arms firmly around her.
She groaned, but beamed a smile up at him. "I've dealt with worse, whack-a-doodle."
Around them, the office began to shift. The dark room had become filled with warmth and light, and the inkblot photos that were on the shelves transformed.
Is that…a Nobel PRIZE?
All of a sudden, cheering blared from outside, and the pair made their way to the window.
Below, the once-barren Sheldonopolis was filled with people, many of whom Sheldon recognized. Superheroes and beloved characters called out to him, celebrating his triumph. He watched as a procession of whimsical ducks paraded around the square, waving their umbrellas.
In the sky above, fireworks exploded in multi-colored extravagance.
"Under normal circumstances, I would be loath to admit that anything you say holds truth, Penny." He smiled. "But you were right: anything is possible."
Penny simply smiled, leaning into his embrace.
