Penny (Sheldon) – Sheldon's identity in Penny's body

Sheldon (Penny) – Penny's identity in Sheldon's body

Chapter 4

"Hey guys." Leonard said as he occupied the empty seat opposite Howard and Raj who were discussing who has the upper hand when it comes to picking up women.

"Hey, Leonard. I heard that Robot-man didn't come for work today." Howard said.

"Yeah, which is strange actually." Leonard said as he took a bite on his salad.

"It's Sheldon. It's not strange. Either he is being called by his home planet or he is building his storm troopers ready to invade the mother earth." Howard said and they laughed.

"No. This one's different. Actually, him and Penny. This morning, I woke up seeing them together in the couch sitting and staring into nothing." Leonard said.

"He's with Penny?" Raj said as he gulped some mountain dew.

"Yeah and what's really weird is when Penny is sitting on Sheldon's spot and Sheldon doesn't even tic or scold her about it." Leonard said.

"Really, Sheldon giving up his spot for Penny?" Howard said and Raj almost spit out his mountain dew.

"Well, maybe they had an agreement. Besides, Penny and Sheldon are close in a weird way." Raj said which piqued out the interest of the two especially Leonard.

"What do you mean 'close in a weird way'? Leonard asked as he raised his eyebrow and insecurity and jealously on his tone.

"Well, they are polar opposites. Sheldon is OCD, clean freak, schedule guy while Penny, is messy, go-with-the-flow woman. Sheldon goes to Penny immediately when he needs help regarding social convention while Penny does the same way but different kind of help. Penny can understand Sheldon in a weird way so is he. They like, complete each other." Raj said like it was the most normal thing to say in the world. Howard was intrigued and got to thinking that what Raj said was right. On the other hand, Leonard is having a hard time accepting even understanding what Raj had just said. He refused to accept the facts laid out to him.

"That is not true! Yes they are polar opposites but they don't complete each other. They always fight and insult each other. And Penny is just doing that because Sheldon manipulates her. Unlike me, I don't and Penny and I complete each other." Leonard said with conviction on his voice not letting his roommate to gain the upper hand when it comes to Penny. Howard and Raj just looked at each other and ignored what he said. Howard then changed the topic to Lord of the Rings.

(A/N: Penny and Sheldon are alone so original identities)

Meanwhile, Penny and Sheldon were at Disneyland riding the Space Mountain again but this time Penny didn't let Sheldon eat a churro beforehand. Sheldon obliged as a good boy he is and bought a Mickey Darth Vader hat. Penny bought Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow hat.

Penny looked over Sheldon and remembered the little argument they had on shoes and thermals. Surprisingly, both agreed.

"Sheldon, good thing we had fast pass tickets we don't need to wait in line." Penny said as she gave their tickets to the employee.

"Of course, Penny. I wouldn't want to wait in lines and risk myself contracting germs from them." Sheldon said as they took as seat in front. Penny then asked the worker to take a picture of them, which Sheldon opposed to but eventually gave in when Penny threatened to call his mother. Sheldon mentally agreed with Penny when she said that they didn't get too much photos yesterday so they will do it now. Then the ride started, for a while Sheldon was silent but when the sharp twists, sudden drops, super fast mode began he let started to wave his hands, whooing and enjoying himself. Of course, Penny did the same. In the middle of the ride she looked at him and even in the darkness she saw his piercing blue eyes shine with happiness. Sheldon looked at her too and for a moment they were quiet just enjoying each other stares. The only thing that broke the stares was when the roller coaster suddenly dropped and they began whooing again. They rode what they did before and enjoyed so much. They also took some pictures and ate some churros, pretzels, candies and Sheldon's red vines. It was already 6pm when they opted not to watch the fireworks, shows and the world of colors. It was not because they don't want to, they just don't want to remember what have happened and they need to face the reality of them being exchanging bodies.

They arrived at the parking lot and Penny was lagging behind thinking of the future that is instilled for the both of them. What if they stayed like that forever? What if things become more complicated than what they are right now? What if one day she realizes my own feelings for him? These were the questions that is bugging Penny's mind right now. Unknown to her, Sheldon is thinking the same thing. He didn't mind whatever his friends would say or his family. He didn't mind about the Nobel Prize. The only thing that's bugging him is 'what would happen to the both of us? Penny?'.

"Penny? You are lagging behind by 1 meter. Is something bothering you?" Sheldon said as he snapped Penny out of her thoughts. When Penny didn't answer he stopped and observed her. He saw Penny's head was low and her breathing was shallow like crying.

"Penny?" Sheldon called out to her again. This time Penny lifted her head to face him. Sheldon saw tears. Sheldon was bad with women crying. He guessed that she was crying because of their situation.

"There, there. Sheldon's here." Sheldon said trying to comfort her 'special' friend. He hated seeing Penny crying despite their bodies being switched. Sheldon didn't force her to know why she was crying. Sheldon did the only thing that he knows best.

He went to hug her.

Penny was surprised of the gesture but didn't say anything. She knows that this was way out of his comfort zone and she was really touched that he would go all to comfort her. It didn't matter that Sheldon could only reach until the chest since he was in Penny's body. Penny being in Sheldon's body reached down and lower her head to his neck. Sheldon let Penny cry her eyes out in his shoulder. At first, it was an awkward hug but after a few seconds he felt comfortable. He liked hugging Penny. He desperately wanted to erase the pain that she is experiencing right now. After a few minutes of crying, Penny settled down and said thank you to him. Sheldon nodded and guided her back to the car.

"Penny, get some sleep. Don't worry I will drive safely. I will wake you up when we arrive at 2311 Los Robles." Sheldon said as he buckled up and started the car.

"Thanks, Sheldon for being my 'special' friend." Penny said as she drifted to sleep.

"Thank you too Penny for being my 'special' friend." Sheldon said as he drove out of the parking lot and to the freeway. He went took a chance while Penny is sleeping to take the car for wash and fill up the tank and gets the engine fixed up since the check engine light is annoying him. It was fortunate for him that it didn't wake Penny up despite the noise. She sure is a deep sleeper. After all of that he went to Ben and Jerry's to get her a tub of ice cream. When they arrived, he parked the car and went to wake Penny up. Soon they were in the lobby when Leonard, Howard and Raj arrived.

"Hey Sheldon and Penny. Where have you been?" Leonard asked with a hint of jealously at his tone. Sheldon (Penny) knew that tone of voice and rolled her eyes. Penny (Sheldon) also knew the tone and released an exasperated sigh.

"We went to Disneyland again to…" Sheldon (Penny) didn't thought of what she was going to say.

"Ride the rides I didn't get to. I was at home and on a day-off when I went into your apartment and saw him." Penny (Sheldon) immediately continued where Sheldon (Penny) left off. Sheldon (Penny) looked at Penny (Sheldon) and mouthed a secret thank you when others didn't notice. Penny (Sheldon) nodded.

They all went upstairs together. No one said a word except Sheldon and Penny who were whispering. The boys went first before them. Noticing the whispering, Leonard couldn't help to butt in.

"So what are you guys talking about?" Leonard asked as he looked at Penny and Sheldon waiting for an answer. Sheldon (Penny) could feel her blood boiling and after what they had been through today, she can't have Leonard interrogating them like they did something wrong so she said the words that would make him shut up.

"I will sleep at Penny's tonight because I can't stand to be with you today." Sheldon (Penny) said which made Penny (Sheldon) go wide eyed also the guys.

"What? You can't sleep at Penny's apartment tonight. Penny?" Leonard said as he looked at Penny with his puppy dog eyes. Howard and Raj are silently watching and praying that Penny would allow Sheldon to sleep in her apartment to give Leonard some realization as they are tired of listening to him the whole day go on about Penny and Sheldon and his compatibility with Penny.

"Good lord, Leonard. If that is what he wants then he could. And don't look at me like you're begging me not to allow Sheldon to sleep in my apartment. What does it matter if Sheldon is to choose to sleep at my apartment tonight?" Penny (Sheldon) said as he released another sigh. He was getting tired of Leonard being obsessed with Penny.

"Why him? He wants to be alone. I'll go and sleep in your apartment and he could sleep in our apartment alone." Leonard argued which made Sheldon (Penny) almost go junior rodeo on him.

"Don't you ever say that I want to be alone." Penny (Sheldon) said in a low voice. Which alarmed all of them especially Sheldon (Penny). Before things could get ugly Sheldon (Penny) knew what she could only do and that is to take Penny (Sheldon) away from them and towards the guys apartment. Penny knew that Sheldon is not comfortable in her apartment because it's still messy and he needs his routine. Sheldon (Penny) grabbed Penny (Sheldon)'s hand and raced towards 4a completely shutting the guys out.

Howard and Raj was shocked but nevertheless entertained by the series of events that transpired. Leonard was rendered speechless and hung his head as he turned to Howard and Raj and asked if he could stay the night with either of them.

Meemaw snuck into the house in the middle of the night only to be caught by her granddaughter, Missy.

"Meemaw, where on earth have ya been? We've been lookin' for you all day? And what is with that Goofy costume? You know Shelly hates those!"
