Another part? Bet you thought it would never come but here it is and enjoy!

Penny lies in her chocolate scented bubble bath, enjoying the soft hum of music from her head phones, shutting out the world around her. It had been a long day at the cheesecake factory and she needs to relax, she was trying not to think about the erotic dream she had of Sheldon last night. "Ah" The warm water is as good or better than snuggling under her sheets, she closes her eyes and starts to dream of a cute Hero and a damsel in distress... Sheldon as superman saving her from a masked villain.

~X~

*knockknockknock* "Penny?"

*knockknockknock* "Penny..." Sheldon whines, she had promised to drive him to the comic book store since Leonard was going away that night to visit his mother. He had refused to go along with him for 'mental support' seeming as last time he had seen Leonards mother she had kissed him. This was a hazard to his health despite her cleanliness who knows how many deadly diseases she could be carrying. Penny had probably fallen asleep on the couch again like last week. Those double shifts at the cheesecake factory had been wearing her down as of late. He cautiously pushed open the door to 4B...

*taptaptap* "Penny?*

Still no answer and no Penny on the couch, she could have just gone to bed, he hesitates before moving to her bedroom. Suddenly, he remembers the time she had fallen and dislocated her shoulder in the shower and panic courses through him. He quickly opens the door to her bedroom; glancing at her bed he notices it is empty, except for her handbag which lies collapsed with the contents spilling out from it, presumably from when Penny had dumped it on her bed.

He didn't hear any rushing water from the shower but smelt the familiar odour of chemical chocolate permeating the air from behind the slightly ajar bathroom door.

He pushes it open cautiously whispering "Penny are you in there?"

As he gazes around her dimly lit bathroom he observes that nothing appears out of the ordinary, no blood splashes covering the walls and blood soaked towels by his feet. "Darn." He had forgotten to wear shoes and his blue slippers provided no traction on her smooth tiled floor. Penny had lit candles which covered every bare surface creating a warm glow.

He looked at the bathtub and saw it was full of bubbles and a happy looking Penny, a sleeping looking Penny. Whose head was slipping into the water! She must have fallen asleep in the warm bath water and was about to drown in her chocolate scented bubble bath!

Sheldon quickly rushed towards the tub, slipping on the tiles and falling half in the bath tub. He wrapped one arm around her naked waist and the other under her neck to support her before hauling her out of the water.

She splutters and splashed in shock and yelps before quickly realizing that it was a half soaked Sheldon grabbing her in the bath.

"What are you doing!" she shrieks as he pulls her to his chest, "Thank Jesus you aren't dead! I Thought you'd drowned!" he says into her damp hair. She stops struggling against his tall, thin frame instead wrapping her arms around his drenched, shaking body.

"It's ok sweetie..."

"No it's not ok! I just saved you from drowning! What were you thinking!" he yells his voice shrill, ringing throughout the bathroom.

"Thank you Sheldon, but you need to calm down sweetie, breathe."

He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He holds her for another minute or two until his eyes fly open, wide in embarrassment, a flush spreading across his face and down his neck.

"Um Penny... The bubbles are almost all gone... And..." he looks away candle light tickling his soft features. "Oh!" exclaims Penny, cheeks burning red, " can you grab me that towel?" she whispers, closing her eyes as Sheldon turns to grab her towel. All would have been fine if it wasn't for Sheldon's slippers. As he stands and turns, eyes closed, his slippers lose their grip on the slick tile floor, sending him screeching to the floor where he landed with a *thump*. He hits his head on the tiles. When he doesn't move or make a sound Penny scrambles out of the bath, naked she kneels beside him and tries desperately to shake him awake.

"Sheldon! Sheldon open your eyes sweetie!" She calls, gripping his shoulder tightly. He is just like a child, innocent and naive but respectful still. Her stomach is sick with worry, and a silly thought passes through her head. Snow white, sleeping beauty, all awoken by true loves first kiss. As soon as she has the thought she knows it is foolish but it must be the panic, the worry, the candles because she does just that. She leans down and kisses his lips. He lies impassively on the floor, not stirring besides the steady rise and fall of his chest.

"One more and that's the last."She whispers, quoting Othello by Shakespeare leaning over and kissing him, she promises to herself now she will call an ambulance, now she will take action, just after this one last kiss.

She gets lost in his clean talc smell and peppermint flavoured mouth, she feels arms gripping he shoulders and lips working softly against hers. She quickly pulls back, shock filtering over her beautiful face.

"Sheldon I am so sorry!" Penny begins but is quickly cut off by Sheldon's slow and quiet voice.

"My chest feels funny Penny, and I feel dizzy." He says closing his eyes, his bottom lip wobbling a bit.

"Ok I will go get an ice pack for your head, come on I will help you to my bed, and I want you to lie down and not move around ok?" She says reaching for his fore arm to help stand him up. As he stands, he says something which makes Penny blush a million shades of red.

"Penny... you're naked, and beautiful." He whispers smiling, swaying and grabbing a nearby wall for support.

"I'll get some clothes on in a second." She says staring straight ahead trying to control the blood flow to her face.

Sheldon is soon on her bed and she is dressed in a small yellow tee-shirt and denim shorts. She grabs some frozen peas from her freezer and places them against the side of his head, a small bump already forming from his fall.

"Hold this in place sweetie, do you want something else?" She asks, trying to avoid the topic of their kiss, once his mind has cleared she knows he will be upset. It is best to avoid that for as long as possible.

"Penny sing soft kitty to me..." He whispers, looking up at her expectantly.

She exudes a soft sigh, and sits next to Sheldon.

"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur."

"Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr."

When she stops singing she looks over to him.

"Thank you Penny, one more thing though." Sheldon whispers blush crossing his face, eyes snapping to hers.

"Anything." She whispers, meeting his warm gaze smiling. Sheldon motions for her to move closer, and Penny leans in towards him.

"Kiss me again." He whispers into the shell of her ear. She freezes in shock as he draws her in and kisses her passionately. She sits impassive for a while, well it was more like a second, and she is kissing him back with equal fervour. Her hands slip around his shoulders and his hands slide down to her waist, they both start to fall back on the bed, not once breaking their embrace.

At that moment, Leonard walks in to her apartment, searching for Penny...
