A/N Hello everyone, thank you everyone for the lovely reviews on the previous chapter. Although not all the drabbles will be focused on sports, I just adore the idea of Sheldon having secret talents. No chapter is related to the other, all are strictly one shots. This is just a quick and short chapter, the next one will be longer.
Chapter 2: Sword Fighting
Sheldon was having a fairly good day. His work progressed, and there were no issues at work. Of course his good day just had to go bad.
"Oh come on Sheldon, please! Penny has been wanting us to go for weeks!" Leonard said to Sheldon, while driving them back home.
"Absolutely not! I am not going to subject myself into watching Penny incorrectly wield a weapon." Sheldon said.
"But Sheldon, you could correct her mistakes!" Leonard attempted to argue.
Sheldon paused a moment to think, "No."
"If you don't come, I'll tell Penny to touch your barbecue burger. Without. Gloves." Leonard threatened.
Sheldon gasped in shock," You wouldn't!"
Leonard replied smugly and said, "You know I would."
Sheldon huffed, but finally agreed to go. Penny was finally able to land a role in this T.V. show based on Greek Myths. She was to play Atlantis, but in order for her to play the role, she needed a basic understanding of sword fighting, so she was taking sword-fighting classes. She has been trying to get Sheldon and Leonard try the free class, but Sheldon was 100 percent against it. It's a surprise to Leonard that he even got him to come visit Penny.
Pulling into the parking lot, the two men walk out of the car, and into the sword fighting gym. In the gym, there are mats everywhere. There are teachers attempting to teach both kids and adults, and there are a few professionals fighting for fun, or training. At the front, the boys can easily see Penny with an older instructor, practicing a few different slashes. Seeing the boys, she runs over to them.
"Hey guys! You made it!" Penny said still trying to get air.
"Well it's not as if I had much of a choice in the matter." Sheldon said, off handedly.
"Be nice Sheldon. I'm glad to be here Penny." Leonard said with a smile.
"Hey Penny, want to fight." They hear a voice call out. They look to see a guy, about Sheldon's age, calling out to her from the other side of the room.
"Who's that?" Leonard asked.
Penny sighed, "Just Danny. He's a professional swords man, one of the best here. Everyone knows it, he knows it. His ego is bigger then Sheldon's. The guy challenges everyone, but no one beats him. He's really annoying."
"Wow, that says something. Well, Penny, go get your bags, I need to use the restroom." Says Leonard, walking toward the bathroom.
As soon as Leonard leaves, Danny comes over," So Penny, bout that swords fight?"
"No." Penny replied.
"Come on Penny, please Penny?" Danny pleaded.
"No."
That was Sheldon.
"Who are you?" Danny said finally noticing Sheldon, albeit with attitude.
"A friend of Penny's." Sheldon replied.
"Well, friend of Penny's, if she won't fight, you should. I challenge you." Danny says confidently.
Sheldon smirks and replies, " Wow, you really are quite pathetic. But very well, I never back down to a challenge."
"Sheldon, what are you doing! You'll get hurt." Penny cried.
"Penny, you heard the man, it's a challenge, and I never back down to a challenge." Sheldon says as he takes the sword away from Penny.
"You ready?" Asks Danny asked with a smile as they situated themselves on the mat.
"Dr. Sheldon Cooper is always ready." Sheldon replied.
Danny's smile vanished, "Wait, Sheldon Cooper?"
It was too late, the match began. Parries, thrusts, and slashes were sent. It took exactly 10.8 seconds for Sheldon to disarm Danny, and have a sword pointed to his throat.
"I win." Sheldon simply said, put down his sword, picked up his messenger bag, and went back to the car.
"What the hell?" Was all Penny could say. I mean, what could she say? Neurotic Sheldon Cooper just defended her, and sword fighted for her honor. Sheldon Cooper, her knight in shining armor.
Penny's instructor came up to her, "You know Sheldon Cooper? He got really famous when he was teaching in Germany when he was 17. I didn't know you were good friends with the German professional swords man."
Penny, still shell shocked replied, "Yeah, me neither."
Leonard, just coming out of the restroom, came up to Penny, "Miss anything?"
