What would you do if you knew your life ended soon?


:Meteors:

No one was prepared. This wasn't some sort of disaster movie. There was no space ship that could fly up and destroy the meteor. There were no underground bunkers that would shelter them. The meteor was 7.6 miles wide. The planet had about 2 weeks before every form of life on it was destroyed.

Sheldon threw his marker across the room and sat down. Not even with his intelligence could he find a solution. In 8 days, that meteor was going to hit New Zealand. There was no way of stopping it. In 10 days the sun would be blocked out completely across the face of the entire planet. If the tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions didn't kill everyone, the air would. No one was going to last long. I guess that arctic expedition won't happen now, he thought to himself.

So, what should a man with an IQ of 187 do with his last remaining days? Slowly Sheldon stood back up. Dare he? He looked in the mirror over his dresser. Could he? Sheldon strode from his bedroom and hurried through the apartment. Leonard was in the kitchen talking to his sister. Howard and Raj were on the couch trying to get in touch with Raj's parents. He opened the front door and crossed the hall.

Knock, knock, knock. Penny?

Knock, knock, knock. Penny?

Knock, knock, knock. Penny?

She opened the door and smiled. Before she could speak he grabbed her close and kissed her with all the pent up desire in him. He had been attracted to her from the very beginning, but Leonard had laid claim to her. He no longer cared. He moaned as Penny grabbed his belt and pulled him inside.


They lay wrapped around each other murmuring words of love to each other. They had rarely left the bed in the past week. Leonard was furious, but Sheldon did not care. Penny had said she loved him. He even thought she meant it. It didn't matter. He had never been as content as he was at this moment. The sky was black outside her windows. They had turned the radio off yesterday when all they could find were reports of death and destruction. Instead her ipod played soft R&B.

Penny turned his head to look at her. "Sheldon, I really do love you. My only regret is that I didn't keep after you the day we met. I thought you weren't interested."

Sheldon sighed. "I thought the same thing about you. How could anyone so sweet and beautiful want an outcast like me?"

Penny moved over him and kissed him tenderly. "Not an outcast. A beautiful minded genius with the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen."

Sheldon pulled her close and hugged her tight. How ironic. The world was ending just as he discovered his place in it.
