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

Chapter 6

It was early in the morning when Leonard came home to his and Sheldon's apartment. He was surprised to see Sheldon (Penny) making his breakfast. He also saw that there is a coffee ready which he thought weird because Sheldon doesn't drink coffee. He also noted that Sheldon (Penny) was humming whilst making breakfast. But nevertheless he was home and he would go through his mission to get Penny back into his arms.

"Good Morning, Sheldon." Leonard called.

"Woah WOAH!" Sheldon (Penny) screamed because of the unexpected visit.

"What's the matter with you, it's just me." Leonard said while he helped himself with the coffee ready.

Realizing that it was Leonard, she quickly put up the act of being the condescending ass Sheldon. Sheldon (Penny) noticed that he was going for the coffee she prepared herself and quickly grabbed the pot from the coffee maker.

"What the hell, Sheldon?" Leonard yelled almost lost his balance trying to avoid the hot beverage spill on him.

"What do you mean 'what the hell'?" Sheldon (Penny) raised her voice and feeling her temper rising. She of course remembered how Leonard insulted Sheldon even if he didn't know that they switched bodies. She felt that her eyes were opened on how the other guys would treat Sheldon and she would not allow it anymore. She is now in possession of Sheldon's body and she will protect Sheldon no matter what.

"What are you talking about?" Leonard also raised his voice and looked up to him.

"Oh Leonard please, don't act like you didn't insult Shel- I mean ME last week." Sheldon (Penny) said as she put down the pot and turned off the stove before she burnt the French toast she was making for her and Sheldon.

"It's not an insult Sheldon, It's a fact. You've always wanted to be alone. No wonder everyone around you can't stand you. I'm even surprised that I stayed with you for so long and what's even more surprising is how Penny would protect someone like you!" Leonard said as he looked Sheldon (Penny) in the eye.

Sheldon (Penny) on the other hand couldn't believe on the words coming out of Leonard's mouth. She balled up her fist and ready to punch Leonard when Penny (Sheldon) came out of Sheldon's bedroom dressed in Sheldon's Flash Shirt and her Hello Kitty boxers.

"What commotion is happening in this ungodly hour?" Penny (Sheldon) said as he tried to rub some sleep in his eyes. He stopped in the middle of the room when he saw Leonard and Sheldon (Penny) looking at him.

"Penny?" Leonard said not believing what he is seeing. Penny (Sheldon) in a Flash shirt and only hello kitty boxers. And what's even more surprising, her coming out of Sheldon's room.

"What's going on here? Leonard, why are you here?" Penny (Sheldon) asked as he made his way to where Sheldon (Penny) is.

"You made French Toast?" Penny (Sheldon) said as he looked over Sheldon (Penny)'s shoulder. Sheldon (Penny) just gave him a nod and a sweet smile.

"Penny, why are you in Sheldon's room? Did you sleep with Sheldon?!" Leonard said looking Penny (Sheldon) directly in the eyes. Sheldon (Penny) giving Leonard a mean glare while Penny (Sheldon) is still processing on the events that occurred while he was still in is REM sleep. Penny (Sheldon) was not a master on social situations so he looked at Sheldon (Penny) to look for some answers that she may provide and that he may proceed with caution. Noticing the look Penny (Sheldon) is giving her she told him the events that occurred the past 5 minutes. As soon as he was filled in by Sheldon (Penny) he composed himself and glared at Leonard.

"Leonard, if you think that Penny and I are sleeping together, then yes. We are sleeping together." Penny (Sheldon) said which earned a wide-eyed Sheldon (Penny), and a raging, jealous Leonard.

"WHAT?!" Leonard said as he looked at Sheldon (Penny) with pure rage.

"Before you decide on acting rash Leonard, will please let me continue." Penny (Sheldon) said with pure calm but inside really wanting to punch Leonard.

"What else do you have to say?! You slept with Sheldon!" Leonard yelled in Penny (Sheldon)'s face. Penny (Sheldon) balled his fist having the urge to beat Leonard up for yelling in his face without considering the germs and bacteria that he is transferring to him. Suddenly instead of punching him, he remembered that the female race don't punch instead slap. So he gathered up the courage to give Leonard the hardest slap he could ever muster using Penny's body. He mentally calculated the energy he needed that wouldn't hurt Penny's hand and the right angle and place where the hand would land.

*SLAP

Leonard was taken aback. He was shocked that Penny (Sheldon) would slap him. He felt his tears trying to escape from his eyes. Meanwhile, Sheldon (Penny) was shocked and equally proud of Penny (Sheldon). Her eyes were filling with tears of joy for him.

"Like I said, let me finish. I said we are sleeping together but not the meaning of 'sleeping together' in your homunculus mind. What I mean is Penn- I mean ME is sleeping here because I am helping Sheldon in his work because I am his new assistant if you didn't get the news that she- I mean me is now working with him. And why should you be so angry? You have broken the roommate agreement on bringing sleep-overs countless of times. And quite frankly, this is Sheldon's apartment not yours to rule over with." Penny (Sheldon) said as he made his way to the stove and reheat the French toast that is not soggy.

Leonard was left speechless while comforting his face. Sheldon (Penny) was so proud of Penny (Sheldon) on how he acted. She gave him a proud smile and went to join him for breakfast. She kinda felt bad for Leonard but he deserved it. He was more a condescending ass than Sheldon was.

"Penn- I mean Sheldon, will you please get ready as we have wasted time already and I'm afraid that we might get caught in the traffic and be late for our work." Penny (Sheldon) said as placed the coffee into a travel cup and placed the French toasts into separate sandwich bags and Tupperware. He also filled his water bottle with water of course and placed it in separate lunch boxes.

"We can eat breakfast before we start our work in the office." Penny (Sheldon) said as he gently placed the lunch boxes into the kitchen island and washed his hands. Meanwhile Sheldon (Penny) went to Penny's apartment to prepare the clothes Penny (Sheldon) would wear. She was looking for pair undergarments when the memory of the first time she taught Sheldon on how to wear her bra.

"Come on Sheldon, just wear the damn bra." Penny said as she handed him the bra to Sheldon who is desperately trying to cover himself.

"I'd rather not have myself put it on." Sheldon said as he tugged his bathrobe closer to himself and turned away to hide his blush.

"Well I can't have you not wearing it. I don't want other people think I am a slut for not wearing a bra. And I don't want others ogling at me." Penny said as she tried to loose the bathrobe from Sheldon.

"I am well aware of that. I don't want others to look at your body especially that I am the one inside your body." Sheldon said struggling to keep the robe close to him.

"Sheldon, are you telling me that you don't want others to look at me like a slut? That is so sweet. Thank you. Now put on this blind fold so I can secure the bra and go on dressing my body up." Penny handed him the blindfold, which Sheldon reluctantly accepted and placed it on his eyes.

"No peeking, sweetie." Penny said as she loosened the robe.

"Penny, I have a mother who taught me about to respect a woman. I won't peek." Sheldon said as helped Penny on removing the bathrobe.

"This is weird. It looks like I am staring at a mirror only that I can touch my body." Penny said as she guided Sheldon on slipping her panties and bra.

"I know. I can feel what you are doing and ooohhh… that tickles." Sheldon said as he felt the bra being secured. After a few minutes she managed to dress her body without Sheldon looking but sometimes would chuckle at Sheldon's reaction. It felt really awkward but Sheldon's reaction was enough to die down the awkwardness.

"Penny this feels weird. The brassiere around the chest doesn't quite fit into the cup. Will you fix it please." Sheldon said as he turned to face Penny. Penny chuckled and fixed the bra.

"Feel comfortable?" Penny asked.

"Not quite since I am not used to use this kind of clothes." Sheldon said.

On the other side, Penny (Sheldon) also made a beeline to his bedroom and prepared what Sheldon (Penny) would be wearing. He brought his Batman boxer briefs that Penny chose for her to wear much to his dismay since he is not used to wear such clothing but the print would compensate of course. He also brought out the black jeans and the vintage Batman shirt. He argued with himself about the thermal shirts but opted not to use today. Even thought Penny had told him to lessen using thermals he still used it last week and for now he won't. It was kinda hard for him because he didn't like changing but he felt like he needed to adjust for Penny. It was quite strange for him since he was getting more distracted with Penny. There are times where he would suddenly just stare in his whiteboards and Penny filled his thoughts. There were times were he would sneak a glance of her and her image would burn into his eidetic memory. He never felt comfortable with anyone even with his family other than Penny. It started the moment he laid his eyes upon her. The time when they first met each other. He kept a log on his interactions with her and how he felt at that time. From that time he already filled 3 notebooks. He still tried to explain it with equations and research but it all comes to one: attraction. He didn't believe as such so he continued to be a condescending ass so as not for her to notice his attraction to her. Now their situation made them to be more closer to each other, he is feeling the dread in his heart. He is scared that he might actually fall for her. Even though he didn't believe in love, even if he still claim himself to be a homo novus, there is no excuse on how not to fall for Penny. He remembered Leonard called dibs and Leonard is his best friend no matter how crappy he was being treated. He decided not to dwell on this any longer as he knew that it would only hurt him. He immediately went out of the room to get some air when he saw Leonard leaving the room with his bag and car keys. He assumed that he would go to work as usual. Now that he is alone he paced back and forth thinking of the feelings he might be harboring. He hated it but he has to admit it himself. He is falling for Penny and it was bad. Just then Sheldon (Penny) walked into the apartment, Penny (Sheldon) stopped pacing. He looked at her. His look made Penny's knees wobble. She felt she would melt under the gaze of his intense blue eyes.

"Penny…"

"Sheldon…"

"Penny…" Sheldon took a step towards her. They are already standing close enough to nearly kiss each other.

"Sheldon…" Penny whispered feeling the blood rush to her cheeks.

"Penny… uhhh… you should get changed, we're gonna be late… uhh… here's the blindfold." Sheldon said meekly as he handed the blindfold to her.

Penny didn't get why would he stand so close to her just to give the blindfold. But what's more confusing is her heart pounding and she holding her breath under his gaze.

After work on their way to Penny's car, the rain started soaking them both. They both hurried home because neither of them wanted to catch a cold so during their shower on their respective apartments they felt dizzy. Penny and Sheldon tried to get out of the shower before they pass out but it was too late. Both passed out while on shower. After half an hour of being exposed too long in the shower both woke up and got out. They dried themselves and look at the bathroom mirror. At first they thought it was just a dream. But when they tried to wash the sleep off their eyes. What they saw made them happy and both sad. They were back to their old selves. Penny being in her own body and Sheldon in his own. They didn't know how to react. They didn't know whether to be happy or not.
