What happens when Leonard reunites with his childhood best friend who he hadn’t seen in over 10 years? I don’t own TBBT but I do own Delaynie.

Chapter 8

" Tori? Tori? Wake up."

" Mmm… wait, wha…?", Tori nasally moaned as she rolled over in bed, slowly blinking her eyes the best she could when she took the washcloth off of them and looked up to see her Aunt Zoey standing there with a smile a few hours later as she was gently stroking her finger on her 16 year old niece's cheek.

" Well hello.", Zoey said with a smile.

" Hi Aunt Zoey, what are you doing in here?", Tori nasally asked in a soft voice with a slight smile.

" I just came in here to check on you. How are you feeling?", Zoey asked.

" A little better but still not the greatest.", Tori nasally said as she let out another sneeze and cough into her arm.

" Well I think it's probably time to give you some more eye drops and to give you a diaper change because it's been a few hours since you last had one.", Zoey said as she grabbed the necessary items out from underneath the bed before she gently pulled the covers back.

" Aww but the eye drops hurt though!", Tori nasally protested as she stared up at the ceiling.

" I know they do Tori but they only hurt for a second. That's because there's medicine in them trying to get all the gunk out of your eyes that's making them irritated. The more gunk we get out of your eyes the less it's going to hurt.", Zoey said as she put on some latex gloves before she unscrewed the cap to the bottle of eye drops.

" Ok.", Tori nasally said with a sigh as her aunt then gently held open one of her eyes and released a couple drops from the bottle into it which stung again like the first time as well as the second eye when Zoey put some in that one too.

" There, that's done. Now let's put these in your ears for a moment.", Zoey said as she handed Tori a tissue to dab her eyes with before she changed gloves and stuck Tori's earbuds into her ears, playing the song Follow Me into them from Tori's iPod.

" Where's Gamora at?", Tori nasally asked about her kitten as her aunt was in the middle of changing her diaper.

" We put her in another bedroom for the time being sweetie because we don't want her rubbing all over you, especially your face and getting the rest of us sick in this cabin.", Zoey said.

" Yeah I guess that makes sense and was my Uncle Sheldon really trying to argue with her as she was scratching and meowing at the door a few hours ago?! Because I think I heard all of that while I was trying to fall asleep even I don't have super hearing like he does apparently!", Tori nasally asked as she let out a slight laugh.

" Yes he definitely was doing that Tori!", Zoey said with a giddy laugh as she wrapped a fresh diaper around Tori's lower abdomen.

" I thought so! My theoretical physicist godfather arguing with my cat! Absolutely hilarious, even when I'm currently sick and feel like crap!", Tori nasally laughed as Zoey then covered her back up with the blanket.

" Yeah I'm not going to lie, I thought that was pretty funny too! Are you comfy now?", Zoey asked with a giddy laugh.

" Yeah as best as I can be due to the fact that my eyes still hurt.", Tori nasally said as she nodded her head and settled back under the covers after Zoey took the earbuds out of her ears and shut the music off before cleaning up the mess she made.

" Well good, you just continue to get some more rest and before you know it you'll be feeling better in no time.", Zoey said as she gently stroked her fingers through her niece's hair.

" Ok.", Tori nasally said as she let out a yawn.

" I love you so much Tori Lee. I've never been so happy to be your aunt ever since you came into this world in the first place. You are the best gift I could have ever asked for in my entire life.", Zoey said with a smile as she kissed Tori on her head.

" Thank you. I love you very much too Aunt Zoey.", Tori nasally said with a smile before she drifted back off to sleep, snoring softly and peacefully as best as she could despite the fact that she still didn't feel good. Zoey then kissed Tori's head again before she walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her only to immediately run into her sister making her gasp in startlement, " Oh good God you scared me Delaynie! I thought someone was getting ready to attack me or something like that for a moment there!"

" Oh well I'm sorry, I didn't mean to Zoey. Were you just in there checking on my daughter Tori?", Delaynie asked with a smile as she pointed at the bedroom door.

" Yeah I was. I just gave her some more eye drops and changed her diaper. She just now fell back asleep after she asked me about Gamora and where she's at right now.", Zoey said with a smile as she nodded her head.

" Ah got it. Thank you, I appreciate that sis.", Delaynie said with a smile.

" Of course, no problem. So where's Leonard and the others right now?", Zoey asked her sister when she noticed that everyone else was absent from the cabin at that moment except for her, Delaynie, Tori, and Gamora who was still batting around a toy in the other room, letting out a bunch of playful meows over her jingling bell collar.

" Um they're currently on a walk in the woods right now as an attempt to get Sheldon to stop freaking out about getting sick.", Delaynie said with a sigh as she threw her hair over her shoulder.

" Oh really? And how's that going so far?", Zoey asked with a smirk.

" Well according to Leonard he said it's not going too well because Sheldon is currently calculating all the stupid ways he could potentially die using a little travel sized whiteboard and dry erase marker that he brought with him so at this point he's annoying everyone including my husband.", Delaynie said with a smirk as she shook her head.

" Figures that Cooper can't go at least 5 minutes without annoying someone! He's such a weirdo sis!", Zoey laughed as she shook her head.

" Yeah I know but what can we do?! He's family! It's just how he is and how we've known that about him since we met him!", Delaynie laughed.

" True! He may be strange but he's a great friend!", Zoey laughed.

" Totally! You know at first when Leonard told me about him after we reunited with each other I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle that because of the fact that I've never been around an eccentric person before but ever since after I got exposed to that nonsense it was like I couldn't live without it!", Delaynie laughed.

" Yeah and I don't think I could live without it now either! Sheldon's such a riot!", Zoey laughed.

" Yeah he is!", Delaynie laughed before of the two of began to calm themselves down as she then asked, " I think I'm in the mood for a glass of wine now. Do you want anything too?"

" Sure I'll have a glass of wine too. Why not.", Zoey said as the two sisters made their way into the cabin kitchen to pour themselves a glass of wine.

" Alright sounds good to me.", Delaynie said as she pulled out the first bottle of wine from the fridge and set it aside on the counter before she kept digging through the fridge looking for the other bottle of wine.

" Um Delaynie, isn't that Penny's bottle of wine that she just bought?", Zoey asked as she pointed at the bottle of wine that was sitting on the counter.

" Yeah it is Zoey, I'm just setting aside for a moment because I'm looking for the other one that we just bought for everyone else.", Delaynie said as she kept searching the fridge.

" Ah got it, because I was just gonna say if we dared to touch Penny's she'd probably bitch at us for that!", Zoey said with a giddy laugh.

" Yeah that's totally true and I don't think we want to deal with that because then we'll probably just get something thrown at us, either her shoe or her fist!", Delaynie said with a giddy laugh as she grabbed the other wine bottle and put Penny's away before she grabbed two wine glasses and poured some wine into each of them as she then handed one of them to her sister and kept the other one for herself.

" Two for two, cheers sis.", Zoey said with a smile as they touched glasses before they took a sip.

" Ooh… that's actually pretty good.", Delaynie said as she widened her eyes at the taste of the wine that just hit her taste buds.

" Yeah I'll say, not too sweet not too bitter. Right in the middle, great choice.", Zoey said as she did the same thing and nodded her head.

" Thanks, it was just a lucky guess at figuring out what I thought everyone would like. We are camping after all.", Delaynie said as she took another sip of her wine.

" That we definitely are.", Zoey said as she did the same thing.

" What the hell is that up there?", Delaynie asked when she looked up at the ceiling and saw what looked like strip hanging from it.

" Oh I think that's a sticky fly trap that Raj just put up there to catch flies just in case if they get in here from outside. We don't want our food getting contaminated by those pesky nuisances to begin with in the first place.", Zoey said as she looked up too.

" That's true. Smart guy.", Delaynie said.

" Well of course he's a smart guy, he's an astrophysicist for crying out loud!", Zoey exclaimed with a laugh.

" Ain't that the truth!", Delaynie laughed.

Knock knock!

" What the…?! Raj what are you doing back here?! We thought you were with the others!", Delaynie and Zoey asked in shock when they went to the window after they heard a knock on it and opened it up to see Raj standing there out side of it looking like he was all out of breath as if he just ran a marathon.

" Hi Delaynie and Zoey. I was with the others but I just came back here for a moment because Howard just got his foot stuck in a tree trunk and can't get it out, so can you by any chance hand me the toilet plunger and the first aid kit please?", Raj said as he was trying to catch his breath.

" Um… yeah sure, hold on one second.", Delaynie said as she set her wine glass down and walked away for a moment before she came back with said items that Raj asked for, handing them to him as she said with a smile, " Here you go buddy, knock yourself out."

" Thanks. See you later.", Raj said as he then sprinted away back into the woods.

" Bye!", Delaynie called out as she then shut the window to prevent flies from coming in.

" And you wonder why Wolowitz never got a Ph.D. It's because of him constantly doing stupid things like getting stuck in places where he doesn't belong in the first place!", Zoey said with a smirk as she stared at her sister.

" Exactly! Always leave it up to Howard to make everything weird besides Sheldon!", Delaynie laughed as she then picked her wine back up to take another sip of it.

" Yep! Currently at this moment the king of weirdos award goes to Mr. Howard Joel Wolowitz!", Zoey laughed as she did the same thing before the two women headed into the living room to sit on the couch and enjoy their wine. A few more hours then went by prompting a another check on Tori just as most of the others began returning to the cabin after they somehow managed to get Howard's foot unstuck from the tree but not without it unfortunately paying the price of a few broken bones resulting in it ending up in a cast and him having to walk on a couple of makeshift crutches that they made out of a couple sturdy tree branches.

*cabin door swings open*

" Ow ow ow! Ok ok careful careful, watch what you're… OW!", Howard hissed in pain as he was hobbling around on his makeshift crutches while the others were trying to walk him into the cabin.

" Well good Lord Wolowitz if you would stop moving this would be much easier for us to help you!", Sheldon hissed at his friend as they were still trying to walk him in through the cabin door.

" Ok Sheldon that's enough! Knock it off! You're not helping the situation at the moment!", Amy hissed at her boyfriend.

" Yes you're really not buddy! We've already dealt with enough of your nonsense today as it is with you going on and on about your ridiculous calculations for your potential death to which it's really getting annoying and pissing us off now! So just stop it and shut up!", Leonard hissed at his roommate/best friend.

" Yeah seriously Shelbot before you make us all want to…!", Raj hissed as he set the first aid kit down on a side table before he tossed the toilet plunger across the room making it slam against the bedroom door that Gamora was hiding behind just as Meghen, Mikey, Twister, and several of the others came in behind them to gather in the living room with Delaynie and Zoey, gasping in startlement as the plunger struck the door.

SLAM!

Meow!

" Oops!", Raj said with an embarrassed smirk on his face.

" Oh balls!", Penny interjected as she rolled her eyes.

" Nice! Scaring my daughter Tori's cat! Way to go you idiot!", Leonard hissed as he rolled his eyes as well.

" Well dude it's not my fault that I forgot that we have her now. We have her behind a bedroom door at the moment because of Tori.", Raj said as he then interjected at the door, " Sorry about that Gamora!"

" You're a putz!", Bernadette hissed as her and some of the others were getting Howard situated on the couch.

" Not helping Bernie! Ow!", Howard hissed at his wife as she propped his foot up with a pillow.

" Sorry Howie.", Bernadette apologized to her husband.

" What was that?", Tori nasally asked when she suddenly poked her head out through the bedroom door of the bedroom she was sleeping in. She had a blanket draped over her shoulders covering up her t-shirt and diaper.

" Nothing Tori, just go back to sleep.", Delaynie said to her daughter over her shoulder while she was sitting on the couch next to her sister Zoey and Howard.

" Ok fine Mom. Whatever.", Tori nasally said with a sigh to her mother as she ducked back into the bedroom, shutting the door behind her.

" So I guess you guys did make it back despite what happened with Howard?", Delaynie asked.

" Yeah we did Delaynie and unfortunately it was really stressful. We were all this close to killing Sheldon because he wouldn't stop running his mouth and being annoying as usual.", Stuart said with a sigh as he held up his fingers to show a slight gap in between them as a way to demonstrate how close they all were to going off the handle with the theoretical physicist.

" Can't say we blame you guys Stuart but wait a second, where's Officer Travinski, Claire, and Mrs. Cooper at? Didn't they come back with you guys or did they get lost for some apparent reason?", Zoey asked when she noticed everyone else was back except for those three women that she asked about.

" No Claire suddenly got upset because she was thinking about her father and what happened to him when we suddenly stumbled across some area that was apparently familiar to her during her childhood which then made Officer Travinski upset and so now the two of them are having a heart to heart talk about it with Mrs. Cooper out in the woods. They should be back in a few minutes or so Zoey.", Leonard said with a sigh as he took his glasses off his face for a brief moment to wipe them clean before he put them back on again.

" Ah got it, that's real rough you know? To suddenly lose somebody you love like that with no warning at all because of an automobile transmission failure? Seems like the worst thing that could ever happen to you.", Zoey sympathetically said with a sad sigh.

" True that bi*ch. God I just feel so bad for those two. Sometimes I just don't understand why terrible things like this end up happening to good people out of nowhere.", Penny said with a sad sigh as she shook her head.

" We don't either Penny but unfortunately that's just how life goes. Some people come into your lives while others leave them, even when we're not ready and don't expect it.", Mr. Konnerack said with a sad sigh.

" True.", everyone sadly said as they all nodded their heads in agreement.

*cabin door opens again*

" Claire…", Officer Travinski sadly said with tears in her eyes as she suddenly walked in after her boss with Mrs. Cooper following them when they finally made it back to the cabin a few minutes later making everyone turn their heads to look at what was happening.

" Can you please not talk to me right now April, I just…?!", Claire cried as she suddenly stormed into the kitchen with several of the others following her and watched as she then suddenly punched the fridge door, letting herself slip to the floor sobbing when she slid her back down against it.

" Come here, it's ok.", Delaynie, Leonard, and Zoey sadly said as they got down on their knees to embrace her, letting her bury herself into them just sobbing her eyes out.

" No it's not ok! I just don't understand why I had to lose my father the way I did! I wanted to lose him because of old age, not when he still had a job and was still so full of life! It makes no sense and I just want him back so much! I'd give anything just to see him one more time so I could tell him how much I love him and that he was the best father that I ever had in my life!", Claire cried.

" Yeah well you're not the only one here that wishes she could say something to him! I want to take back the last thing I said to him, and then some too! Because I really regret what I said! I should have never called your father a dumb fuck to begin with, because that's not the kind of man he was!", Officer Travinski cried as she was punching her fist into her chest.

" No he really wasn't! Oh god April!", Claire cried as she suddenly pulled away from Delaynie, Leonard, and Zoey making them stand up just as she stood up too and threw herself into Officer Travinski just sobbing into her as the other woman was doing the same to her.

" Alright alright let's just calm down y'all, because Heavenly Father forbid you're going to turn this whole place into a river.", Mrs. Cooper sadly said as she put her hands on both of the womens' shoulders.

" Yeah well you don't get it Mrs. Cooper! My dad died in a horrible unexpected tragedy! HE SLAMMED INTO A SEMI-TRUCK ON MICHIGAN AVENUE AND GOT BLOWN UP IN A GIANT FIREBALL! Not only because of a transmission failure with his vehicle but it was mainly because of that idiot that decided to hi-jack someone else's car in the first place making my dad chase after him to try to get him to stop! So basically it's because of that other guy that this happened! If he had never hi-jacked that car in the first place then my dad would have never had that transmission failure in his vehicle and he'd still be here! He'd still be alive right now like he should be and then my mom and I wouldn't have be sitting here all broken over it! And it's not just my dad that lost his life, that semi-trucker lost his too! The impact killed them both instantly when they slammed into each other almost head on! That's two whole freaking families that this guy just completely destroyed all because of his selfishness and lack of common sense! He's a freaking cold-hearted murderer and whoever he is I hate him!", Claire cried when she pulled away from Officer Travinski for a moment and pulled something out of her pocket to look at it with tear-filled eyes. The object she was holding was her father's Pasadena Police Department issued metal dog tag that was given to her by the chief of police directly after the memorial service as they were leaving the funeral home to head to the cemetery to inter her father's ashes into the ground. It had his full name and badge number engraved on it that was still visible despite the slight fire damage to it that said:

Lt. Officer Maxwell Dean Zanderman

Badge ID #- 2173

" Claire… honey… I do get it. I very much understand the very intense pain that this is causing for you, your mother, and even Officer April Travinski at this moment. Believe me it's not easy losing somebody you love like that. I would know what that feels like because I lost my husband a long time ago to a heart attack, and even though that was rough to deal with I didn't give up on living my life without him because I knew that's not what he would have wanted. It's the same thing with your father, he knows you're upset that he's gone but he doesn't want you to stop living life because of it. The Lord wouldn't want that either.", Mrs. Cooper sadly said as she walked up to Claire and placed her hands on her shoulders again, looking at her straight in the eyes as she shook her head.

" Yeah but this is different, my dad meant so much to me! When I was growing up my mom always said I was like his little shadow because I would follow him around everywhere and even to this day before this happened I still did it because he was like my best friend! We rarely went anywhere without each other and now for the first time ever since this happened here we are completely apart from each other, forever! I'm never going to see him again and it hurts so much!", Claire cried as she tossed her father's dog tag on the kitchen counter, just bawling her eyes out into her hands.

" He's not gone forever bi*ch, he's still in your heart as well as yours. His spiritual presence is still here amongst all of us, you just have to feel it.", Penny sadly said with tears in her eyes as she pointed at Claire and then at Officer Travinski who were both at this point blowing their noses with tissues that Amy just handed them.

" Thank you Penny, I was just about to say that.", Mrs. Cooper sadly said as she put her hand up.

" Well if that's true then that at least comforts me somewhat.", Claire sniffled as she blew her nose into the tissue again and dabbed her eyes to dry up her tears coming down her face.

" It does to me too because it makes me feel like I wasn't a total jezebel to him with the last thing I said to him.", Officer Travinski sniffled as she did the same thing.

" Well I don't know if this would help even more or not but a few days ago before we came here I made a special request to the Pasadena authorities to disinter your father for a short moment to have these made for both of you.", Leonard sadly said with a sigh as he reached into his pocket and pulled out two crystal clear urn bulbs that were hanging from thin brown leather strings that were tied in a knot at the top of them to form a necklace that he handed over to the two women who just stared at them for a moment with shocked looks as they then looked at each other and then at him.

" You… you had some of my father's ashes made into necklaces?!", Claire gasped in shock as the last of her tears fell from her face.

" Yeah… I figured it would be special for the two of you to have a piece of someone that you loved that you can now take wherever you go.", Leonard sadly said.

" Oh my god… Leonard that's so nice. I don't know what to say to this.", Officer Travinski gasped in shock as the last of her tears fell too and a smile began to spread across her face.

" I don't either, thank you so much! This really means a lot!", Claire happily cried as she then threw her arms around him with Officer Travinski doing the same thing.

" You're welcome.", Leonard said as he started smiling too just as the two women pulled away and slipped the necklaces on over their heads before they embraced each other again, crying happy tears this time due to the fact that they just got a piece of their hearts back in a very special honorable way.

" Well good Lord, first you were crying and now you're happy?! What kind of obnoxious social convention is this?!", Sheldon suddenly butted in, rolling his eyes in confusion about what was happening at that moment.

" Ok you know what you crazy bastard, do you want me to kick your a** into someone's f*cking office?! Because I can do that to you in about 2 seconds if you don't shut up and quit being annoying!", Leonard hissed at him which instantly sparked a whole bunch of laughter between Officer Travinski and Claire who were just stumbling over each other and pounding their fists down on the kitchen counter at what he just said.

" What?! What's so funny about what I just said?!", Leonard interjected in confusion as he stared at the two policewomen who were laughing it up with each other.

" Because what you just said Leonard is something my dad always used to say! He was always threatening to kick someone's a** into someone else's f*cking office whatever he would get pissed off at them for doing something that he didn't like at that specific moment! It was so funny!", Claire laughed in amusement.

" Really? Are you serious?", Amy asked in shock.

" Yeah we're not kidding Amy! He always used to say something along the lines of to whoever he was talking to at the moment, " What are you giving me that look for you idiot?! I'm the boss here and you're not going to disrespect me so you better shape up now or I swear to God I will kick your a** into someone's f*cking office!", Officer Travinski laughed in amusement.

" Yep that's exactly what he used to say April and every time he said it was just pure entertainment! My dad could have totally been in a movie just to say that to someone that would have been absolutely the greatest comedy hit ever!", Claire laughed in amusement.

" Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb and agree with that! That's hilarious!", Twister laughed in amusement as he threw his head back.

" Twister!", Delaynie, Leonard, Zoey, Mr. and Mrs. Konnerack, Sheldon, Penny, Howard, Raj, Amy, Bernadette, Stuart, Danica, Mrs. Cooper, Meemaw, Missy, Georgie, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, Alfred, Mr. and Mrs. Turtleman, Mr. and Mrs. Jameson, Officer Travinski, Claire, Cassidy, Mr. and Mrs. Rocksteady, Meghen, Mikey, Karly, Justin, and Ricky scolded him as they all just stared at him with Howard leaning on his makeshift crutches when he got himself up off the couch in the cabin living room.

" Sorry!", Twister laughed as he was trying to compose himself.

" Smooth bro.", Cassidy said as she looked at her brother.

" Oh just shut up Cassidy!", Twister laughed as he shook his head while still trying to calm himself down.

*Tori wakes up again in the throws of another asthma attack*

" Oh god is that Tori?!", Mrs. Konnerack asked in concern as they all turned their heads in the direction of where the sudden coughing and wheezing was coming from.

" Yes it is Mom Konnerack and she sounds like she's having another asthma attack! Crap, Tori!", Leonard hissed in concern as he instantly bolted to the bedroom where his daughter was with Delaynie following behind him in a panic causing the two of them to frantically search through Tori's belongings to find her Asthma inhaler. Once they found it and gave it to her she stopped coughing and steadied her breathing when the medicine worked its way into her lungs, opening up her airway again. They then got her back to sleep again after giving her some more eyedrops and a fresh diaper. Tori then woke up a few days later feeling much better and was able to rejoin everyone else including her cat Gamora just in time for a nice day out on the water on the Brezokowskys large boat after they invited everyone else to join them despite Sheldon's dismay about the whole situation to which he reluctantly shut up about after Leonard threatened to throw him in the water and leave him stranded alone in it if he didn't stop complaining and try to make everyone else miserable.

*boat motor starts up creating a water wake behind it*

" Ok this is it people! We're officially off on our boat trip for the day!", Mr. Brezokowsky exclaimed over the running motor as he was driving the boat away from the campground boat launch and out into the open lake water.

" Nice!", several of the others exclaimed.

" Sweet! Boat party!", Declyn exclaimed with a smirk as he suddenly turned on the radio blasting the song Toosie Slide by Drake when it came thumping out of the speakers and started dancing all over the main boat deck like an idiot in front of everyone completely unaware that his 10 year old sister Samantha was laying down on her stomach near him, just playing with her Barbie dolls.

" Oh cheese and crackers bro, you got to be kidding me!", Karly laughed in amusement, shaking her head along with Twister, Mikey, Meghen, and Tori doing the same thing while they sitting next to each other on one of the boat benches a few feet away with Gamora just chilling in Tori's lap soaking in the warmth of the sun and the breeze of the wind through her fur. Some of the others started laughing in amusement while watching this as well.

" Hey! Watch where you're dancing Declyn Ramsey! You almost knocked me over while I'm trying to play with my Barbie dolls here!", Samantha hissed when Declyn's foot swiped against her leg.

" Well then move your big fat butt to another spot on the boat Samantha Colette and we won't have this problem!", Declyn shot back at his little sister.

" You move your big fat butt first, poophead!", Samantha hissed.

" Drama baby princess!", Declyn hissed back.

" Ok that's enough Declyn Ramsey and Samantha Colette Brezokowsky! We don't need to be starting any fights here in front of our guests! This is rude and inconsiderate!", Mrs. Brezokowsky scolded her children when she sat up on another boat bench and lifted her sunglasses to look at them.

" Exactly, so take a chill pill and shut up! We don't want to listen to this!", Grandma and Grandpa Brezokowsky scolded them as well.

" Thank you Mom and Dad, I was just about to say that! Yes please cut it out! We're all out here to have a fun day together, let's not ruin it with a stupid sibling fight between you two! You can fight with each other later at home but not here! This is a family vacation, alright!", Mr. Brezokowsky scolded as he kept driving the boat.

" Fine.", Declyn and Samantha said with a sigh as they immediately shut up and left each other alone.

" Thank you.", Mr. Brezokowsky said.

" Well that was just obnoxious!", Sheldon muttered under his breath as he crossed his arms while sitting in a chair.

" Sheldon don't start! Remember what I said?! Shut up or I'm going to throw you into the water! That's not any of our business to get involved in, point blank period!", Leonard hissed as he looked at him, narrowing his eyes in annoyance.

" Yeah seriously Shelbot, shut the hell up!", Howard, Stuart, and Raj hissed at him too as the music kept thumping out of the speakers over the running boat motor. Howard's foot was still in a cast as well, propped up on a stool due to the fact that his foot was still broken from getting it stuck in that tree trunk in the woods when he tried to kick it over because of the fact that it was rotted out and had a huge crack at the base causing it to be on the verge of falling over anyway.

" Aw fine, good Lord it seems like I can never win here!", Sheldon hissed as he then got up and moved to the back of the boat just as Delaynie sat down in the seat that he just vacated next to Leonard.

" Yeah well we can man! Banzai!", Justin interjected with a stupid smirk as he suddenly jumped over one of the rails of the boat, hanging off the side as his feet were dragging in the water making his clothes get all soaked from the spraying water as the boat was bouncing and rocking all over the place while he was screeching like Aerosmith.

" You said it dude! Woooo!", Ricky interjected with a stupid smirk as he did the same thing as his friend on the other side of the boat causing everyone to start staring at them as if they had gone mad.

" Hey hey hey, uh uh! You're not doing that on my boat! Get back in here! Have you two young men lost your minds?!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected as he shook his head.

" Oh balls, are you freaking kidding me?!", Penny hissed as she rolled her eyes in disbelief at what the two 19 year old boys were doing at that moment.

" For God sakes!", Leonard hissed as his eyes went wide at the scene unfolding in front of him and the others.

" Lord in Heaven, what in the world do those two knuckleheads think they're doing?!", Mrs. Cooper shrieked in disbelief as she stood up from where she was sitting at the front of the boat.

" What the hell Ma?! Just sit down before y'all fall over and knock yourself out! We don't need this crap!", Georgie hissed at his mother.

" George Cooper Jr. do not sass me! That's disrespectful, not only to me but to the Lord as well!", Mrs. Cooper scolded her eldest son as she sat back down.

" Ok that's enough! Justin Jameson and Ricky Turtleman that is not safe what you two boys are doing! Get the hell back in here now or you're going to be in big trouble! Do you two want to go to jail for this?!", Officer Travinski and Claire shouted.

" No we're just having fun here! Off the boat feet surfing! Yeahhhh!", Justin and Ricky exclaimed with stupid smirks on their faces as they kept acting like immature idiots.

" Oh god, our brothers are so dumb Mikey.", Meghen said to Mikey with an embarrassed sigh as she looked at her and rolled her eyes.

" You got that right Meghen, stupid stupid stupid.", Mikey said with the same sigh as she did the same thing.

" Ok Mikey and Meghen we don't need your input at the moment and Justin and Ricky we didn't raise you boys to do dumb sh*t like this! Get back in this boat now before we whip your butts for this!", Mr. and Mrs. Jameson and Mr. and Mrs. Turtleman scolded their daughters first before scolding their sons.

" Yeah seriously, what the hell is wrong with you two?! Do you have a lack of common sense?!", Zoey interjected as she stood up for a moment.

" Zoey don't get involved! This doesn't have anything to do with us at the moment! Sit down!", Mr. and Mrs. Konnerack scolded their daughter.

" Alright, fine.", Zoey said with a sigh as she sat back down and shut up.

" What are you all, a bunch of buzzkills?! This is fun!", Ricky and Justin exclaimed as they kept up their reckless behavior.

" WE SAID TO GET BACK IN THIS BOAT NOW JUSTIN TRAVIS JAMESON AND RICKY JARVIS TURTLEMAN! DON'T MAKE US DRAG YOU BACK IN HERE OURSELVES BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT IF WE HAVE TO DO THAT!", Mr. and Mrs. Jameson, Mr. and Mrs. Turtleman, Officer Travinski, and Claire shouted at them over the music and running boat motor.

" Yes please! I don't want you putting dents in my boat because then that's going to cost me a fortune to get them fixed which is something I don't want to be paying for right now! So get back in here!", Mr. Brezokowsky shouted.

" Fine.", Ricky and Justin interjected with a sigh before they both hopped back into the boat drying themselves off with towels as they started laughing their butts off at what they did when they sat down on another boat bench next to each other near the front of the boat.

Meow!

" I know, they were being stupid huh Gamora?! Yes they were!", Tori cooed with a smile as she kissed her kitty on the top of her head while she was still sitting in her lap on the boat bench they were sitting on next to Mikey, Meghen, Twister, and Karly. Gamora started purring as Tori was just stroking her cheeks with her fingers, shifting her butt slightly on the bench causing her diaper covered butt covered up by her shorts to make a slight crinkle noise again as it rubbed against the faux leather upholstery.

" Oh yeah big time stupid babe!", Twister laughed as he moved over by his girlfriend to kiss her.

" Oh just seriously stop it Twister!", Tori laughed as she kissed him back.

" Is she your cat Tori?", Declyn suddenly asked when he walked up pointing at Gamora and reaching out to pet her.

" Yes she is Declyn, her name's Gamora. I just got her a few days ago shortly after we all got to this campground.", Tori said with a smile as she kept stroking her kitty's cheeks with her fingers making her continuously pur in contentment.

" Nice!", Declyn said before he went off to play with his Nintendo Switch.

" This is nice that I get to spend time with you like this, especially during a vacation.", Twister said with a smile as he had his arms wrapped around Tori, leaning his cheek against hers making her locket swing slightly back and forth around her neck.

" Yeah, I love it too.", Tori said with a smile as she shifted slightly again while Gamora was still sitting in her lap.

" You feeling ok Tori? Do you need a break time right now?", Twister asked in concern as he looked at her when he noticed that she was beginning to have a hard time sitting still.

" Hmm…", Tori moaned as she suddenly started to cry, signaling to the fact she just involuntarily released the contents of her excretorial system and it was beginning to make her feel uncomfortable.

" Ok ok shhhh, calm down. You don't need to get upset. Do you want me to text your dad and ask him if he'll let me take care of your medical needs for the moment?", Twister asked in concern as he gently pulled his girlfriend into him, resting her head on his shoulder while rubbing her back in a circular motion as she continued to cry.

" I don't know what I want right now!", Tori cried as she kept getting a bit more restless.

" Alright well I'm going to text him anyway even though he's sitting just a few feet away from us because I don't want to embarrass you. One moment babe.", Twister said in concern as he took his phone out to text Leonard.

" Ok!", Tori cried as her boyfriend then started scrolling through his contacts to find her father's number and once he did so he began to type in a text message to him:

Twister: Hey Dr. Hofstadter this is Twister. Listen I think Tori may need a diaper change right now so is it ok if I take care of it this time? I promise I won't do anything stupid other than just take care of her medical needs.

Twister then hit the send button and waited for a second before he got a reply back that said:

Leonard: Fine you may do so but as long as you don't do anything other than that. I don't want to have to kill you for trying to take advantage of my daughter. Ever since you came into her life you've become almost like a son to my wife Delaynie and I so please don't ruin that.

Ding!

Twister: You have my word, I won't do anything inappropriate and thanks. :)

Ding!

Leonard: No problem. :)

" Ok your dad just gave me permission so come on, let's go. Mikey can you take Gamora for a second? We'll be right back.", Twister said as he picked up Tori's diaper back pack as well as Gamora who he handed off to Mikey who was sitting right next to them.

" Sure no problem Twister, come here Gamora. Tori's going to be right back in a moment.", Mikey said with a smile as she took Gamora into her arms making her let out a meow just as Twister stood up pulling Tori to her feet before they began making their way towards the stairs to go down to the lower boat deck for privacy reasons as Tori continued to cry.

" Where are you two going bro?", Cassidy asked her brother when she walked by them.

" You already know Cassidy. We'll be back in a moment.", Twister said to his sister as he began walking Tori down the stairs.

" Ok whatever, knock yourselves out.", Cassidy said as she threw her hands up and walked away.

" Who were you just texting a moment ago Leonard?", Delaynie asked when she saw her husband put his phone away.

" Oh that was Twister. He was just asking me if he could give Tori a break time.", Leonard said as he wiped his gasses for a second before he put them back on his face.

" And you actually let him?", Delaynie asked in shock.

" Yes I did Delaynie as long as he doesn't do anything inappropriate.", Leonard said.

" Fair enough.", Delaynie said as she kissed him.

" You know I'm not sure if I said this before or not but, I really like that kid. He's nice.", Howard said with a smile.

" So true man, I think we all do. Twister Rocksteady is definitely something very special to Tori, just like Sheldon is to us even though he'll never admit to it.", Raj said with a smile.

" 100% true Raj.", his friends agreed.

" You know speaking of Sheldon, we haven't heard from him at all in like a good few minutes here. You would have thought he would have immediately said something to what Justin and Ricky did a few minutes ago by now or something of that sort.", Stuart said as he began to get a little concerned about the fact that theoretical physicist hasn't said anything during the last few minutes since he moved his butt to the back of the boat.

" Yeah you're right Stuart, something seems a bit off here. What do you think is up?", Leonard asked in concern as well.

" I'm not sure Leonard but I'm going to go check on him. I'll be right back in a second.", Amy said in concern as she got up and started heading towards the back of the boat to check on her boyfriend to find out what his deal was and why he hadn't said anything for a while.

" Sounds cool to us Amy.", the others said just as Twister and Tori made their way back upstairs to sit back down to cuddle with each other shortly after Twister took care Tori's needs making her happy again but almost immediately after they sat back down was when things began to take a scary turn that no one had ever expected would happen in a million years.

*Amy's blood-curdling scream coming from the back of the boat, " OH MY GOD! YOU GUYS WE HAVE A PROBLEM BACK HERE! SHELDON'S FACE DOWN ON THE DECK AND HE'S UNCONSCIOUS!"*

" WHAT?!", the others shrieked in concern as they all stood up at once with Howard leaning on his makeshift crutches, turning their heads in the direction where Amy's terrified screaming was coming from.

" What in tarnation is this?!", Grandma and Grandpa Brezokowsky interjected in concern.

" Not now and Heavenly Father excuse me?! You just said my son is what Amy?!", Mrs. Cooper shrieked in concern.

" I just said he's unconscious Mrs. Cooper! I'm shaking him and shaking him at the moment and he won't wake up! I don't know what the hell this is that's going on but I'm freaking out!"

" Wait, you said who's unconscious Dr. Fowler?!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected in concern over his shoulder in the neurobiologist's direction.

" MY BOYFRIEND IS MR. BREZOKOWSKY! I CAN'T GET HIM TO WAKE UP NO MATTER WHAT I DO AT THE MOMENT AND IT'S SCARING THE HELL OUT OF ME! SHELDON!"

" Oh shit you got to be kidding me, that's carbon monoxide! Crap, Karly go get the emergency pressurized air respirator from downstairs and bring it up here now please!", Mr. Brezokowsky hissed under his breath before he shouted at his daughter in a panic, pointing his finger down the stairwell as he then put the boat in neutral to try to keep it from drifting away too much.

" You don't have to tell me twice Dad! Ok everyone out of the way now! Carbon monoxide emergency here!", Karly screamed as she bolted down the stairs like a bat out of hell pushing her way past everyone on the boat causing a lot of staring in her direction as if she said something crazy.

" CARBON MONOXIDE?! WHAT?!", everyone gasped in shock and horror at what they just heard which began to send Amy into even more of a panic because of the fact that she thought she was going to lose her boyfriend now who she loved to the silent killer and didn't know what she would ever do without him despite him being annoying off and on to some degree or another on a daily basis.

" Oh god I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack right now!", Amy screamed in terror with tears in her eyes as she and a few of the others who ran towards the back of the boat to help her move Sheldon to the center of it.

" Well don't do that Ames! That's not going to be good for any of us if we have to deal with two emergencies here!", Penny screamed at her best friend.

" We shouldn't be dealing with an emergency right now period! For god sakes, how did Sheldon get carbon monoxide just now?! We're out in open air!", Leonard shrieked in concern.

" No one knows you dingus! For cripes sake, there's always something going on here that we seem to never catch a break from isn't there?!", Raj hissed as they were trying to sit Sheldon up on the deck.

" Raj you're not helping!", Leonard hissed back at him.

" Well neither are you Leonard!", Raj hissed.

" Ok Raj, Leonard, enough! We don't need this going on at the moment while we have a dying friend here so just shut up!", Delaynie hissed at the two men when she butted in to help.

" Delaynie!", several of the other adults hissed at her.

" Alright alright everybody let's just pipe the hell down because this is ridiculous! Hey sonny wake up, you're scaring the dickens out of us and this isn't ok!", Grandpa Brezokowsky suddenly butted in with his hands waving everyone out of the way as he then got down on his knees and started tapping on Sheldon's face with his hands in an attempt to get him to come to.

" Dad back up! Give the man some space to breathe why don'tcha! Karly where are you at with that pressurized oxygen?!", Mr. Brezokowsky scolded his father as he pulled him aside before he shouted for his daughter who still hadn't come up from downstairs yet.

" I'm coming Dad, chill out! Move Sammy! Out of the way!", Karly screamed at her father and then at her little sister, shoving her out of the way as she came running back up the stairs with the respirator that they kept on board their boat for carbon monoxide emergencies just in case if they happened to members of their family or any of their friends who were on their boat at any given time.

" Hey watch it Karly, you almost shoved me down on the deck!", Samantha hissed at her older sister as she caught herself on the doorframe of the stairwell.

Meow!

" No, Gamora back up! Tori grab your cat please!", Bernadette shrieked as Gamora was trying to get closer to what was happening.

" Sure thing Auntie Bernadette! Come here Gamora!", Tori shrieked as she reached down to grab her cat that was trying to scurry away from them all over the boat deck.

" Oh good god I feel like I'm in the middle of a ridiculous circus right now!", Dr. Beverly Hofstadter groaned as she rolled her eyes.

" Well you make me feel like that every time I see your face you hateful shrew!", Alfred hissed at his ex-wife.

" Shut your piehole Alfred! No one asked you anything!", Dr. Beverly Hofstadter hissed back at her ex-husband.

" Well no one asked you either Beverly!", Alfred hissed.

" Ok Mom, Dad, shut up! You're not helping!", Leonard hissed at his parents.

" Leonard!", Dr. Beverly Hofstadter and Alfred scolded their son.

" Ok give me the tube now!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected as he held his hand out towards Karly who made it to where he was standing with the others surrounding Sheldon's unconscious frame as well.

" Here!", Karly shrieked as she handed her father the nose tube as well as the respirator device itself.

" Thank you! Tera can you connect this to the device and Ricky can you go plug this in please?!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected at his wife as he handed her the tube to connect it to the respirator before he handed the electrical plug for the device itself to Ricky to go plug it into an outlet.

" Sure thing Wayne!", Mrs. Brezokowsky interjected at her husband as she connected one end of the nose tube to the respirator before she stuck the other end up Sheldon's nose.

" On it man!", Ricky exclaimed as he grabbed the plug and ran to the nearest outlet to plug it in.

" What's going on here? Is Dr. Cooper ok?", Declyn asked in concern when he walked up to join everyone standing around just as his father turned on the oxygen device that Ricky just plugged in.

" Watch it Declyn, don't step on the oxygen tube! We're trying to save his life from carbon monoxide here!", Mrs. Brezokowsky scolded her son as she put her hand and arm up in front of him to keep him from stepping on the oxygen nose tube that was sticking out of Sheldon's nose at that moment.

" I got him Tera! Back up hon, give them some room!", Grandma Brezokowsky interjected as she pulled her grandson back a few feet when she walked up as well.

" Golly almighty JoAnn would ya…?!", Grandpa Brezokowsky started to hiss at his wife.

" Shut your lip Carl and butt out! This isn't one of those moments of you screaming at the neighborhood kids in our neighborhood at home to stay off our lawn! This is about saving this sonny from the silent killer right now!", Grandma Brezokowsky hissed back at her husband as she pointed at Sheldon.

" Oh stay off my lawn my a**! Go take a nap ya old bat!", Grandpa Brezokowsky hissed as he walked away, waving his hand off at his wife.

" Why don'tcha do that first ya old coot!", Grandma Brezokowsky hissed back.

" Bite me!", Grandpa Brezokowsky spit out as he spun around, taking his dentures out for a moment before putting them back in again.

" Ok Mom, Dad, come on, stop! Enough! Not in front of our guests! This is embarrassing!", Mr. Brezokowsky hissed at his elderly parents.

" Well your father started it first Wayne!", Grandma Brezokowsky hissed as she pointed at her husband with her cane that she suddenly picked up from underneath one of the boat benches.

" Bah, don't listen to your mother! She's an old cuckoo box right now that doesn't know what she's talking about!", Grandpa Brezokowsky hissed as he waved his hand off and sat down in the driver's seat of the boat to switch the gears to make the boat start moving again.

" As if, loose screw! Do you want me to knock your a** out with my cane?! Because I will if you don't shut up!", Grandma Brezokowsky hissed as she leaned on her cane when she thumped it on the boat deck.

" Not before I knock yours out with mine first! Leave me alone!", Grandpa Brezokowsky hissed as he grabbed his cane for a moment, waving it in the air at his wife with one hand while driving the boat with the other.

" Ok enough, shut up! Let's have some peace right now! We're trying to…!", Mr. Brezokowsky hissed but stopped mid sentence when Sheldon suddenly started to come to, coughing and gasping for air as the others were still holding him up in a sitting position on the deck.

" Good Lord what just…?!", Sheldon gasped and coughed as his eyes sprung open when he placed his hand on his chest on top of the tube that was still in his nose. There was a bit of sweat staining the front of his blue Superman shirt that he was wearing underneath his dark blue windbreaker as well as some staining the knees of his khakis. He was also wearing his shoes and wristwatch as usual too.

" Sheldon!", some of the other adults shrieked in relief over the fact that he was still alive.

" Are you alright buddy?!", Leonard shrieked as he stared at his best friend.

" That depends Leonard! What in name of Einstein just happened to me?! Why am I now sitting on the boat deck surrounded by y'all at the moment with an oxygen tube up my nose?!", Sheldon said as he began to steady his breathing with the help of the respirator he was hooked up to.

" Because you just passed out from carbon monoxide is why! Amy found you not even a few moments ago at the back of the boat, face down on the deck completely unconscious! Why else would you think you'd have that in the first place?!", Officer Travinski shrieked as she looked at him too.

" Carbon monoxide?! Are you saying I almost died?!", Sheldon shrieked in shock and concern as he looked at all of his friends, his family, and his girlfriend who were still dawning concerned looks on their faces about the complete hell that they just went through not even a few moments ago.

" Yes! You scared the hell out of us, making us think that we were going to lose you!", Amy shrieked as she then threw her arms around her boyfriend, kissing him repeatedly on the cheek with happy tears streaming from her face over the fact that he was ok.

" Oh good God, Amy you're crushing me! Ow!", Sheldon shrieked in surprise as he felt like his bones were being crushed by the intense strength of his girlfriend smushing him against her.

" Sorry.", Amy apologized as she let go of him.

" Oh thank you Lord! Shelly!", Mrs. Cooper shrieked in relief as she ran to her son and embraced him too.

" Oh frickety frack not you too Mom, ow!", Sheldon shrieked as he was trying to catch his breath from the stress of his body being squished as his mother then let go as well after a few moments.

" Uncle Sheldon!", Tori shrieked in relief as she sprinted to her godfather, throwing herself into him after she set Gamora down as Mikey, Meghen, Twister, and Karly did the same which startled him again for the third time that day.

" Geez Louise Tori, Mikey, Meghen, Twister, Karly, ow! Ok ok you can let go! I'm fine!", Sheldon shrieked before he began to feel himself starting to get a bit sleepy from the oxygen just as the teens let go of him too.

" Ok I think that's enough for the moment. Let's just let him go take a nap now.", Delaynie said with a sigh of relief.

" Agreed Delaynie.", the others said with sighs of relief as well as they all began to help Sheldon stand up.

" No I'm fine, I don't…!", Sheldon began to protest before he then suddenly let out a yawn as the others were walking him towards the front of the boat, forcing him to lie down on one of the benches with the oxygen still connected to him.

" Just get some rest sweetie. No one's going anywhere for a while.", Penny said in a soothing voice with a smile as she and the others placed a pillow behind his head and covered him with a blanket that Mrs. Brezokowsky just handed over to them.

" But I…", Sheldon softly protested as he was laying there blinking his eyes that were starting to look a bit bloodshot.

" Shhhh soft kitty warm kitty little ball of fur. Happy kitty sleepy kitty pur pur pur.", Mrs. Cooper sang in a soft voice with a smile as she was rubbing her hand counterclockwise on her son's chest, making him fall asleep within minutes of this action.

*Sheldon softly breathing over the soft hiss of the respirator*

" Finally, he's asleep.", Leonard said in a low register.

" Yeah thank god for that.", some of the others said in a low register too.

" Alright that's enough y'all.", Mrs. Cooper said a low register before she bent down next to Sheldon's head and kissed his cheek whispering in his ear, " Have good nap baby, we love you." before she walked away with the others leaving her son alone to take an afternoon nap as a way to rid his body from the rest of the carbon monoxide that just assaulted him due to him apparently sitting a little too close to the boat motor's exhaust vents when he went to go sit at the back of the boat. Sheldon ended up waking up a little while later but not to the sound of everyone else talking around him near the center of the boat but to the sound of a certain purring cat just chilling out on top of his chest.

" Oh, well hello Gamora. I wasn't expecting you to be here. Whatcha doing, looking for trouble?", Sheldon said with a smile as he was blinking his eyes while Gamora was staring at him doing the same, just purring up a storm as he was stroking her on the cheeks and chin with his finger.

*Gamora meows and purrs while getting up, making a little stretch with her legs and paws before she head bonks Sheldon's face.*

" Oh lovely, a faceful of fur. Just what I needed after waking up from a nap. Thanks a lot.", Sheldon said in somewhat of a sarcastic tone even though he still didn't really understand sarcasm.

" Hi Uncle Sheldon.", Tori said with a smile as she suddenly walked over to where Sheldon was laying and sat down next to his head. Her diaper underneath her shorts made a slight noise again as she did so, making her locket swing a little bit too. She also had her special backpack on over her shoulders too.

" Oh hello Tori, did you just come over here to check on me?", Sheldon asked when he looked up at his goddaughter.

" Yeah and to find out where Gamora went.", Tori said as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.

" Interesting, well she's right here on my chest purring and head bonking me at the moment.", Sheldon said.

" Yeah I can see that. Are you ok?", Tori asked in concern as she looked over her shoulder and down at him.

" Yes I'm fine now despite the fact that I almost died to which was terrifying enough to find out about.", Sheldon said with a sigh as he then picked Gamora up off his chest and sat up, turning his butt so that he was facing Tori before he gently set Gamora back down beside him and said, " Ok come here for a moment." as he then pulled Tori up into his lap and pulled the blanket around them as sort of a little privacy curtain. Tori wanted to protest having her diaper changed again at that moment but decided that it was not worth the argument and to risk getting her hand smacked so she instead just sat there listening to the music in her earbuds that Sheldon stuck in her ears before he continued with the important task at hand.

" Mmm… that feels good.", Tori sighed in comfort as Sheldon finished wrapping a fresh diaper around her before he put her shorts back over it.

" Well good. Thank you for not fighting me on this and cooperating with me this time. That was nice that I didn't have to scream at you.", Sheldon said with a smile as he cleaned up the mess and took the earbuds out of Tori's ears, shutting off the music after he wiped her hands clean.

" Well I didn't want to get screamed at anyway and possibly get my hand smacked so I figured why bother.", Tori said as she then moved off Sheldon's lap to sit right next to him, leaning her back against the back rest of the boat bench.

" Well I appreciate that.", Sheldon said as he then reached down to open their cooler that that they all brought on board the boat that they packed some food and drinks into and pulled out a few pieces of chocolate that he just recently bought before he sat up and held it out to Tori asking with a smile, " Want a piece of chocolate?"

" Sure, thanks.", Tori said with a smile as she took the chocolate from him and began to eat it.

" Of course and ah ah ah, Gamora you're not having this! This is not for you! Here, go get high on some of this cat crack for a bit!", Sheldon said before he interjected at the cat who was trying to get at his chocolate as he then grabbed a container of catnip flakes out of the cooler too and sprinkled some on the boat deck so that Gamora could roll around in it as much as she pleased.

*happy meowing and purring over a jingling bell sound from Gamora's collar as she was rolling around in the catnip, flopping all over the deck like a fish and licking her paws when she jumped down from the bench*

" Ha ha ha I just love my cat, she's so funny! Almost as funny as what happened to Karly's grandfather for a brief moment while you were sleeping!", Tori laughed in amusement as she took another bite of her chocolate while watching her pet through her glasses, acting like she was all high on drugs or something of that nature.

" Well I must admit I agree with that and good Lord what happened to your friend's grandfather?!", Sheldon asked as he looked at his goddaughter while he was eating his chocolate too with the oxygen tube from the respirator still sticking in his nose.

" He took a nose dive off the boat into the water after he tried to smack a dragonfly out of his face with his cane while screaming obsinities like a psychotic old man! It was seriously the funniest thing ever, even made more so when my Grandma Beverly said to my friend's grandmother afterwards, " No offense to you JoAnn Brezokowsky but your husband Carl is seriously a cuckoo clock for doing that!", Tori laughed in amusement.

" Well that seems a bit of a stretch for your father's mother to say something like that. Is that man ok?", Sheldon asked.

" Yeah he's fine, he's just all soaking wet now and will probably be so for a while because apparently he forgot to bring an extra set of clothes with him before we left the campground boat launch!", Tori laughed in amusement as she finished her chocolate before she took her glasses off to wipe them clean and then put them back on again.

" Oh frickety frack you got to be kidding me, that's ridiculous!", Sheldon said as he rolled his eyes and finished eating his chocolate as well before he grabbed his laptop out of his messenger bag to do some work on it.

" Yeah well whatever!" Tori laughed as she brushed her hair out of her face and crossed one leg up over her other one.

" Well look who's finally awake and WORKING, apparently! Really?!", Penny hissed as she rolled her eyes when she suddenly walked up to where Sheldon and Tori were sitting at the front of the Brezokowskys boat.

" Excuse me Penny but I've been taking a nap here for the past 2 hours, so this really shouldn't surprise you that I'm doing this!", Sheldon hissed when he looked up from his laptop that was sitting on his knees for a brief moment at the actress before he turned his attention back to what he was doing at that moment.

" Well you're right it doesn't but at the same time it does! Sheldon we're on vacation! Why are you working on your laptop right now, especially while we're on a moving boat?!", Penny hissed.

" Because apparently I don't understand the meaning of the word 'vacation'!", Sheldon shot back as he kept working away.

" Yeah clearly you don't Dr. Whackadoodle! Put your laptop away, now! In fact, hand it over!", Penny hissed as she suddenly sat down in between Tori and Sheldon and tried to take his laptop away to which immediately attracted a few stares from the others who turned their heads to see what was going on.

" Ah ah ah you're not touching this woman! This is my property! Hands off!", Sheldon hissed as he put his hands up in front of her while trying to move his laptop out of her reach to continue working on it.

" I don't care Mr. Spock! You're going to give me the laptop and you're going to give me it now or I'm going to go all Junior Rodeo on you! It's your choice!", Penny hissed as she reached for his laptop again causing more staring amongst the others who then started to walk over there to see what was up.

" Penny I would very much appreciate it if you didn't act like a big ol' five right now! I need to work! The fate of science…!", Sheldon protested as he kept pulling away only for Penny to get up in his face and shout, " Blah blah blah I don't give a crap! This isn't about science right now! This is about you getting off your big workaholic butt and just taking it easy like the rest of us are and like you should be at the moment! Like I said, WE'RE ON VACATION! You don't need to throw a big a** tantrum over this nonsense!"

" Um excuse me but I'm a grown man! I do not throw tantrums!", Sheldon protested in denial.

" Yes you do, you're doing it right now because I'm trying to take your laptop from you and you don't want me to! This is ridiculous! Can't you at least go for like 5 minutes without doing something work related at any given time at all?!", Penny hissed as she kept reaching for her theoretical physicist friend's laptop.

" If I could I would have left my laptop at home to begin with before we even came here to this campground in the first place! Now, keep your paws off my laptop before I really make you regret it here!", Sheldon hissed as he moving away from her.

" Cheese and crackers what in the dickens is going on here?!", Grandma Brezokowsky interjected at the two as she stood a few feet away from them with her arms crossed and the others gathered around her except for her husband who was now driving the boat again in his soaking wet clothes.

" Yeah seriously, what the hell Penny?!", several of the other adults interjected at the blonde-headed aspiring actress.

" Oh will you idiots shut up?! I'm trying to get Sheldon to stop working on his laptop here and he's fighting me on it like a stupid whiny little baby at the moment!", Penny hissed as she pointed at Sheldon who was still trying to pull away from her to continue working like the workaholic he was.

" Oh for cripes sake, really?!", Raj hissed as he rolled his eyes in disbelief.

" Son of a bitch you got to be kidding me right now!", Howard hissed as he buried his face into his hands, shaking his head went he sat down and moved his makeshift crutches aside.

" Sheldon we're on vacation! Why would you…?!", Delaynie, Amy, and Bernadette interjected but Leonard interrupted with as he put his hand up, " Ah ah ah I got this! Buddy how many times do we have go through this nonsense?! Being on vacation means we don't work at all, period! Why is it so hard for you to grasp that concept?!"

" That's none of your business to know about my desires Leonard! Penny I said to quit reaching for my laptop! I don't appreciate you trying to touch my property!", Sheldon hissed as he kept resisting Penny's efforts to take his laptop away.

" I don't care! Give me it!", Penny hissed as she kept trying to swipe the laptop from him.

" No! Back up woman! You want me to hit you for this shit?!", Sheldon hissed in her face as he kept backing away and tried to swing his fist at her, leading him straight to the corner of the bench.

" Shelly!", Mrs. Cooper scolded her son.

" No I don't Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper! What the hell is wrong with you?! A man can't hit a woman, that's illegal!", Penny hissed.

" Penny!", some of the others hissed at her.

" Would you all shut up and exactly, I don't either! Come here pal you're gonna…!", Officer Travinski suddenly shouted in anger as she then jumped on her friend, handing Sheldon's laptop to Penny who quickly handed it over to Leonard to go hide it.

" Good Lord what are you…?!", Sheldon shrieked in surprise as his wrist was suddenly jerked back towards the boat rail.

*loud metallic snap rings out*

" Ow! What in the name of Einstein was that for?!", Sheldon shrieked as he looked over his shoulder to see that his wrist had just been restrained to the metal boat rail with a set of police issued handcuffs that the Pasadena High SRO just slapped on him.

" That was for threatening to hit our friend for trying to take your laptop away in the first place!", Officer Travinski shouted in anger as she sat down next to him.

" Well she's the one that started it first Officer Travinski! I had nothing to do with this!", Sheldon hissed as he pointed his free hand back at Penny before he pointed at himself.

" I don't care! You don't make threats like that in front of law enforcement Sheldon! That's the dumbest move that anybody can make and you know what just for that you can just sit here in this corner for a while because as of this moment you're in jail!", Officer Travinski shouted in anger.

" Great! First I get forced to take a nap because of carbon monoxide and now I'm in jail! Thanks a lot for ruining my day Penny!", Sheldon hissed as he rolled his eyes.

" Um news flash mister this only happened because you wouldn't stop throwing a tantrum! So it's your own fault that this happened now! Not mine or anybody elses, just YOU!", Penny hissed as she pointed her finger at Sheldon.

" Big ol' five!", Sheldon hissed.

" Ok that's enough! Penny do not talk to him right now or I'm going to make you sit over here too! This is not what I want to be dealing with between two of my friends on a vacation because quite frankly at the moment you're making my stress worse which is making my rage illness worse as well and I don't appreciate it! Shut your trap and mind your own business!", Officer Travinski shouted in anger at her before she grabbed her medication to take another dose of it with a bottle of water that she grabbed out of the cooler before she sat back down again next to Sheldon who looked like he wanted to cry about the situation he got himself into at that moment.

" Fine whatever, for god's sake!", Penny hissed under her breath as she got up and stormed away.

" Well, you asked for it buddy.", Leonard hissed at Sheldon after he came back from hiding Sheldon's laptop away.

" Ok Leonard don't talk to him right now either! I don't want to give you the same threat I gave to Penny a moment ago too!", Officer Travinski hissed.

" Alright I get it, I'll butt out!", Leonard shot back as he threw his hands up and walked away too.

" Thank you!", Officer Travinski hissed as she then took Sheldon's cell phone out of his pocket as well as his wristwatch off his wrist and put them in hers for the duration of the jail time sentence that she just gave him for threatening to hit Penny.

" Well this is just preposterous! I was just fine until Penny ruined it! This is so unfair!", Sheldon hissed as he threw his head back against the seat of the boat bench.

" Life isn't always fair sometimes Sheldon and FYI, you shouldn't have been working right now to begin with! We're on holiday!", Officer Travinski hissed as she threw her hair over her shoulder.

" Yes but you're working right now because you're making me sit here handcuffed to a boat rail like I'm some criminal to which I don't appreciate at all!", Sheldon hissed as some tears started sliding down his face. He rarely ever cried in front of people but at that moment he felt like he couldn't help it.

" Well that's because my job's important, it's a necessity! There's too many people around here on this boat right now and the last thing that Claire and I need happening is someone getting hurt because of a certain someone here being combative and not listening to what he's being told to do in the first place!", Officer Travinski hissed in her friend's face.

" But this is stupid! I don't want to be in jail right now! I didn't even…!", Sheldon protested as he really started to cry.

" I know you don't, nobody does but think of it this way buddy. This is a hell of a lot better than me throwing you into an actual jail cell with bars in front of you. Because believe me if you had made that threat to Penny back at the cabin I so would have done that to you by now without hesitation. I'm doing this for your own safety as well as everyone else's safety here. We have laws, you can't break them whenever you want. That's not civil.", Officer Travinski said with a sigh as she continued to look at Sheldon who was still crying over the fact that he just got himself in trouble with a police officer.

" Yeah well I wasn't trying to break anything! Penny was the one who…!", Sheldon cried as he pulled the oxygen tube out of his nose with his free hand and threw it down on the deck next to the bench he was sitting on.

" Shhhh calm down, it's ok. You don't need to get upset right now.", Officer Travinski said as she shook her head and started swiping her thumb across his face to dry up his tears that he was making.

" I can't help it, I don't like getting in trouble! At all! It makes me feel like I'm a terrible person when I'm not!", Sheldon cried.

" Sheldon Lee Cooper you need to calm down over there because now you're just pissing everyone off and that is not what the Lord gave me you for to do to begin with!", Mrs. Cooper scolded him from several feet away.

" Thank you Mrs. Cooper, I got this! You're right you're not and I don't blame you. Nobody ever likes getting in trouble but it happens all the time to everybody once in a while, it's just how life is. If nobody ever got in trouble for anything they wouldn't ever learn anything.", Officer Travinski hissed back at Mrs. Cooper before she said that last part to Sheldon as she shook her head again.

" Ok… how long am I sitting here in this time out jail for?", Sheldon asked with a sniffle as he kept crying. The music was still playing the radio as well in a soft thumping bass coming out of the speakers on the boat only this time the song playing was Glamorous by Fergie feat. Ludacris.

" You're going to sit here with me in time out jail until I say so and then you're going to go apologize to Penny for threatening to hit her over your laptop when she tried to take it from you and you refused to let her.", Officer Travinski said as she then grabbed a small black plastic checkout divider thing that had the Pasadena Police Department logo as well as a word in white letters that said JAIL plastered on both sides of it and placed it on the bench in between herself and Sheldon to mark the invisible cell bars barrier between them for the time being.

" Fine.", Sheldon said with a sniffle as he then sat there completely still at first but then suddenly found himself nodding his head slightly to the beat of the music playing on the radio due to how catchy it was. An evil villain like smirk began to start spreading across his face as well as began to really start having fun with it a little bit despite the fact that he essentially got himself arrested at that moment and was basically sitting in jail for threatening to hit his friend Penny when she tried to take his laptop away.

' This actually isn't a half bad song that's playing right now. It makes me feel like a bad a** at the moment. Bazinga, no it doesn't!', Sheldon thought in his head with his evil villain like smirk on his face as he kept nodding his head and bouncing a little on the bench to the Fergie song, tapping his free hand against his thigh as well as tapping his feet a bit on boat deck which made the handcuffs that he was attached to restraining him to the boat rail rattle slightly but not enough to create a nuisance for everyone on the boat to hear at that time. The last of his tears fell from his face by this point too.

" Are you bullfighting kidding me?! What the…?!", Officer Travinski hissed as she rolled her eyes, huffed in frustration, and shook her head in disbelief at what her theoretical physicist friend was doing right in front of her at that period of time.

" Hey, how's it going over here April?", Claire asked when she suddenly walked over to sit down next to her employee that she inherited from the death of her father.

" Well apparently Claire, that's happening at the moment!", Officer Travinski hissed under breath as she pointed at Sheldon who was still evil villain like smirking and bouncing around to the Fergie's Glamorous song that was still playing on the radio throughout the speakers of the boat over the boat motor. He also had his eyes shut at this point too, rocking out to some degree as if he was a teenage boy again or something of that sort making the two policewomen stare at him as if he had lost his mind.

" Are you freaking kidding me?! Seriously, that's what he's deciding to do for jail time right now?!", Claire hissed as she threw her hand towards him for a brief moment too.

" Yes, apparently so!", Officer Travinski hissed as she looked at her boss for a moment.

" Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with this man?!", Claire hissed as she rolled her eyes and threw her face into her hands, shaking her head in disbelief because this was the first time that she had ever seen this kind of behavior coming from someone who was basically sitting in jail at that moment.

" Wish I knew! Hey dumb a**, do you not get the concept of being in time out jail?! You're supposed to just sit there in silence and think about your behavior!", Officer Travinski huffed before she turned her head towards Sheldon and hissed that in his face making him spring his eyes open to look at her as he kept moving around.

" I am thinking about it, while at the same time I'm doing this woman!", Sheldon shot back as he continued smirking like an evil villain and bouncing around to the music.

" Ok I don't think that's…!", Officer Travinski hissed but Claire interrupted her with, " Alright I think I got it this time, shush!" before she said in a firm authoratative voice to Sheldon, " Ok Sheldon Cooper I'm going to give you this straight to your face so you can understand it, you're in trouble right now so you're not supposed to be doing anything! This kind of behavior you're displaying at the moment is only going to get more time sitting here handcuffed to this rail! So the less you do of this the less time you're going to be here, does that make sense to you?!"

" Alright fine.", Sheldon said with a sigh as he reluctantly stopped what he was doing, wiping his smirk off his face as he then shut his eyes and began to breathe in and out as if he was meditating like Raj taught him to do a while ago one day when he came over to Apartment 4A to hang out with him.

" What the freak is he doing now?! Is he meditating?!", Claire asked in shock.

" Yeah I think he is but at least that's better than what he was doing before so let's just let it go.", Officer Travinski said with a sigh.

" Alright whatever you say.", Claire said with a sigh as she leaned back against the bench next to her to sunbathe her face with her closed eyes just as Officer Travinski began to do the same. Their urn necklaces that contained some of her father's ashes that Leonard had given them a few days ago were still hanging around theirs necks as well.

*sounds of a few seagulls squawking their heads off as they flew by over the boat looking for fish to eat*

" What the hell was my boyfriend doing over here just a moment ago?", Amy asked when she suddenly walked up to them.

" Don't ask Amy, just walk away for the moment please.", Officer Travinski and Claire said with closed eyes as they kept relaxing themselves against the seat.

" Ok fine, I won't get involved right now.", Amy said with a sigh as she threw her hands up and walked away.

" Amy!", Sheldon suddenly hissed at his girlfriend when he opened his eyes for a moment.

" Hey shut your mouth mister! Not another word until your jail time's up, got it?!", Claire hissed when she snapped her head up for a moment to look at her friend.

" Ok fine woman, geez Louise!", Sheldon hissed as he returned to his meditation and shut his mouth completely.

" Thank you!", Claire hissed as she returned to what she was doing as well while the music was still playing on the radio.

" Well that just sucks what happened to your godfather at the moment Tori.", Mikey said to her best friend when she walked over to sit down next to her.

" Yeah it is Mikey but I guess it's not that bad. It could have been a lot worse. He could have actually hit my Auntie Penny and got assault and battery for that and had gone to real jail because of it.", Tori said with a sigh as she shifted slightly causing her diaper to make a slight noise again.

" True. How long do you think that's going to last?", Mikey asked.

" I don't know. Officer Travinski didn't really say and I don't feel like asking at the moment.", Tori said.

" Fair enough.", Mikey said as she leaned back too.

" Thanks for being a great best friend.", Tori said with a smile as she turned her head to look at Mikey.

" Of course, same to you.", Mikey said with a smile as she looked at Tori too.

" What up you little squirts?", Justin asked with a smirk when he suddenly walked over to sit down next to his sister Mikey.

" Justin please go away right now, I'm trying to talk to my best friend alone and I'm not in the mood to hear you run your mouth.", Mikey hissed at her brother when she turned her head to look at him.

" What?! I was just asking a question Mikey, you don't need to get all pissy at me!", Justin shot back as he threw his hands out.

" Yeah I know you were asking one bro and I'm not in the mood to answer it right now so can you please just leave us alone?!", Mikey hissed.

" Ok fine I'll go away! Chill out!", Justin hissed as he stood up, threw his hands up, and walked away leaving Mikey and Tori alone again.

" Nice one dude!", Tori said with a giddy laugh as she held her hand up.

" Thanks!", Mikey said with a giddy laugh as she did the same thing before the two teenage girls smacked hands with each other.

Meow!

" Aww hi Gamora, you want to join us?! Come here!", Mikey cooed when she and Tori looked down at their feet to see Tori's cat just sitting there staring at them after she was apparently done with rolling around in the catnip flakes that Sheldon gave her shortly before he got a time out jail sentence because of the tantrum he was throwing over his laptop.

Meow!

*purring starts as Gamora jumps up right in between Mikey and Tori to rub up against them*

" Man she's the sweetest cat ever Tori!", Mikey said with a smile as she was stroking Gamora on the cheek with her finger.

" Yeah she is Mikey! I'm so glad we found her in the first place and that my parents let me keep her! This is seriously the best thing I could have ever gotten in my life, especially since everyone else loves her too!", Tori said with a smile as she was stroking Gamora's other cheek with her finger too making her pet very happy in contentment who then squinted her eyes shut and continued to pur.

" Me too and I know what you mean!", Mikey said.

" Heavenly Father I am so embarrassed at the moment! I can't believe my son just acted like that in front of y'all over a laptop! I'm so sorry you…!", Mrs. Cooper began to apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Brezokowsky about what Sheldon just did as she shook her head, burying her face into her hand while standing in front of them.

" It's ok Mary we get it, children act up once in a while and it's just something we have to deal with as parents unfortunately. You don't need to apologize.", Mrs. Brezokowsky said with a smile as she put a hand on Mrs. Cooper's shoulder, shaking her head too.

" I know Tera but I've never seen him act like that, especially after he just woke up from a nap! I've seen him do some very stupid things before but not like this! I seriously don't know what in the name of the Lord has gotten into that boy all of a sudden and why he had the audacity to think it was appropriate to try to hit his friend Penny all because she was trying to take something of his away from him and he didn't want her too! You know I really should paddle his butt and ground him for this but right now I think what's going on is an appropriate punishment instead because he knows better than to do things like that, period!", Mrs. Cooper hissed as she pulled her hand away from her face to point in the direction where her youngest adult child was currently sitting on the boat now.

" We agree with you, that was unacceptable what he did but it's all good, no embarrassment needed here. We're not blaming you or anybody else for this, alright?", Mr. Brezokowsky said as he did the same thing.

" Alright, thank you.", Mrs. Cooper said with a sigh.

" Nice going b**ch.", Delaynie hissed at Penny when she suddenly walked up to her, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

" Oh balls, what do you want now?", Penny hissed at her as she rolled her eyes.

" You know what I want Penny. Why did you just go all Nebraska bazerk and get Sheldon in trouble? You could have just asked him nicely to put his laptop away in the first place instead of going off on him like a psycho jezebel making him almost hit you in the face. What the hell was that for?", Delaynie hissed as she stared at her friend.

" Delaynie no offense but that didn't really make any sense at all what you just said to me. This is Sheldon we're talking about. He never makes anything easy whatsoever. He just does whatever the hell he wants and never thinks about how it effects everyone around him. It's like he thinks that there's no boundaries and that he can't ever get in trouble for anything he does even though he doesn't mean to and it's complete batcrap. Plus, he was working when he shouldn't have been so this is what he gets for being a giant pain in a** at the moment.", Penny hissed.

" Ok fine, you have a point.", Delaynie said with a sigh.

" Exactly. It's the only way he's going to learn anything if stuff like this happens to him. He's our friend not a criminal.", Penny said with a sigh.

" True.", Delaynie said.

Ding!

" What was that?", Claire asked as she and her employee sat back up when they heard a sudden ding sound coming from Officer Travinski's pocket.

" I'm not sure, hold on one second.", Officer Travinski said as she reached into her pocket to pull out Sheldon's phone and saw that he had an incoming text message from his twin sister.

" Text message on Sheldon's phone April?", Claire asked as she looked at her.

" Yeah Claire it's from his twin sister Missy. She just texted him calling him a wild boar's head nutcase with a laughing emoji next it.", Officer Travinski said as read the message before she put the phone away again.

" Really?! Why the hell would she say that?!", Claire asked with a slight laugh.

" I don't know!", Officer Travinski said with a laugh as well.

" Wait, my twin sister just called me a what?", Sheldon asked as he opened his eyes again.

" You don't need to know at the moment pal, shut up.", Claire hissed at him.

" Aw alright.", Sheldon hissed as he shut his mouth again. He then sat there on the bench completely silent for the next hour and a half before Officer Travinski released his wrist from the handcuffs restraining him to the boat rail and said, " Ok you can get up now. Your punishment's over."

" Thank you.", Sheldon breathed a sigh of relief as he then rubbed his sore wrist and stood up just as Officer Travinski took Sheldon's phone and wristwatch back out of her pocket but as he reached for them she moved them out of his reach just as Claire said, " Ah ah ah you go apologize to Penny first and then you get these back!"

" Boy I can never win here!", Sheldon hissed as he then walked over to Penny and said, " Penny?"

" What Sheldon?", Penny asked with a sigh when she looked at him.

" I'm sorry for how I acted and what I said. That was way out of line and I shouldn't have done so.", Sheldon said with a sigh.

" Thank you. I accept your apology.", Penny said with a smile.

" Good.", Sheldon said with a smile before he suddenly shrieked, " Ow! What was that for Mom?!" when he turned his head and saw his mother standing behind him after she just swatted him on the butt with her hand.

" That was for throwing a tantrum over your laptop in the first place Sheldon! I did not raise you to act like that mister! So help me Lord y'all better not act like that again because if you do then what Officer Travinski just did to y'all will happen again plus you'll be grounded for the rest of this camping trip! Do I make myself clear young man?!", Mrs. Cooper scolded her son as she narrowed her eyes at him.

" Ok yes, I get it!", Sheldon shrieked as he was rubbing his behind.

" Good I hope you learned your lesson because that was just a complete sin against the Lord what you did!", Mrs. Cooper scolded before she walked away leaving Sheldon to go retrieve his phone and wristwatch back from his SRO friend. Then shortly after Sheldon looked at the text message that his twin sister sent him was when Leonard walked up to him to talk to him.

" Hey Sheldon, just got sprung from detention I see.", Leonard said with a smile.

" Yeah Leonard but it really actually wasn't that bad. It was only maybe an hour and a half of me sitting on the bench handcuffed to the rail.", Sheldon said as he put his phone away after he just texted his sister back calling her a dunce cap witch with a laughing emoji next to it as well.

" Well great. Are you ok?", Leonard asked.

" Yes I believe so it's just that I didn't like that it happened in the first place.", Sheldon said with a sigh.

" Yeah well you kind of deserved it for being annoying anyway.", Leonard said.

" Oh like you sometimes when we argue?", Sheldon asked with a smirk.

" Oh will you shut up?!", Leonard said with a laugh as he playfully back handed slapped his roommate/best friend in the chest with his hand that had his wedding band on it as he turned his head for a moment.

" Ow! Oh you're gonna get it for that one my good man! Take this!", Sheldon said with a gaspy laugh as he did the same thing back.

" Ow! You freaking dork!", Leonard laughed as the two physicists then began getting into a playful slap fight, swinging their arms around at each other which then turned into them wrestling with each other all over the boat deck just laughing it up in amusement like immature little boys.

" Who are you calling a dork?! You're the only dork I see here!", Sheldon laughed as he kept wrestling around with Leonard.

" As if! I'm going to make you eat what you just said Cooper!", Leonard laughed.

" Yeah we'll see about that Hofstadter! Steve Irwin!", Sheldon laughed as he then captured Leonard around the neck with his hands and got on top of him, rolling around with him as if he was a crocodile fighting against Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter.

" Not a chance! I'll Steve Irwin you!", Leonard laughed as he tried to do the same thing to him.

" Highly unlikely Leonard considering the fact that you have Asthma and you're lactose intolerant!", Sheldon laughed.

" Oh just shut up Sheldon, ow you're gonna…!", Leonard laughed as the two men kept fooling around with each other.

" Oh balls!", Penny interjected as she rolled her eyes again.

" What the…?!", Delaynie interjected in disbelief at what she was seeing going on between her husband and their friend.

" Penny, Delaynie, zip the lip and Lord in Heaven, Sheldon!", Mrs. Cooper scolded when she turned around and saw what was going on between her son and his best friend.

" Leonard!", Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, Alfred, Danica, Howard, Raj, Amy, Stuart, Zoey, Claire, and Bernadette scolded as they turned around to see what was happening too.

" What the flim flam?!", Grandpa Brezokowsky interjected from the boat driver's seat when he looked up and saw the scene unfolding in front of him too.

" Oh my god, Dad, Uncle Sheldon, what are you…?!", Tori laughed at the scene in front of her as well along with her friends and her boyfriend who all thought this was really funny.

" Ok not now Carl Brezokowsky, same to you Tori, Mikey, Meghen, Twister, and Karly and what in the world is going on now?! What the hell are you two doing with each other?!", Officer Travinski interjected first at Tori, Twister, Meghen, Mikey, Karly, and Karly's grandfather before she interjected at Leonard and Sheldon who were still acting like immature little boys a few feet away from her.

" We're just screwing around with each other! Nothing to see here!", Leonard laughed.

" That's because you started it first when you back handed me in my chest good buddy!", Sheldon laughed.

" That's only because you said that I get annoying when we argue, so technically you started it you wacky nut!", Leonard laughed.

" As if! Here comes a Vulcan nerve pinch!", Sheldon laughed as he tried to pinch Leonard with his fingers.

" Oh yeah?! Come here, you're gonna…!", Leonard laughed as he really started to get a little carried away while wrestling around with his best friend.

" Ok that's enough! Come here Leonard Hofstadter, you need to chill out now!", Officer Travinski hissed as she then stormed over towards the two men and yanked Leonard up to his feet making him laugh, " Oh for god sakes what are you… OW!" before he shrieked in pain when he felt something sharp go into his arm.

" That's it buddy, calm down. Just take a chill pill.", Officer Travinski said with a smirk as she finished plunging some kind of liquid substance through a syringe and needle into Leonard's bloodstream that she just took out of her pocket after she grabbed his arm, bulging out his vein.

" What the heck was that you just injected into me Officer Travinski?", Leonard asked as his breathing began to slow down to normal and he began to feel his body start relaxing just as his friend removed the needle from his arm and placed a bandaid over the injection site.

" Just a shot of Valium.", Officer Travinski said as she then discarded the syringe and needle.

" Yeah but why did you do that?", Leonard asked as he then placed his hand over the bandaid that was on his arm.

" Because you were getting a little too hyped up Leonard. I didn't want you and Sheldon to end up hurting each other over a friendly wrestling match with each other.", Officer Travinski said as she then took her handcuffs out again.

" Oh crap, don't…!", Leonard groaned in protest as his friend then grabbed his wrist and latched one cuff around it just as Sheldon stood up from the deck before she locked the other around hers and began walking with him towards another boat bench.

" Shut your mouth, you're not in trouble. You're just going to come over here and lay down on your back handcuffed to me for a while.", Officer Travinski said as she then sat down on the bench and forced Leonard to lie down on his back next to her with his handcuffed wrist up by his head.

" Great.", Leonard hissed under his breath as he then bent his knees up, pulling his feet towards his butt.

" Don't do that, you're going to get lightheaded.", Officer Travinski said.

" Alright fine.", Leonard said as he put his legs down but shortly after doing so without warning he suddenly sprung up to a sitting position and threw his head over the side of the boat to vomit before he laid back fown on his back again.

" Are you alright there pal?", Officer Travinski asked as she looked down at him over her shoulder.

" Yeah I'm fine, I think I just had a little too much beer at the moment.", Leonard said as he was trying to catch his breath.

" Uh huh, just as I suspected. I thought that obnoxious behavior you were displaying a moment ago had something to do with being under the influence of alcohol to some degree because I can smell it a little bit on your breath right now.", Officer Travinski said with a smirk as the faint smell of booze from her friend's breath began to hit her nostrils.

" Yeah I think I overdid it a little bit.", Leonard groaned as he was stabilizing his breathing.

" I think you did too so I think this is a good thing for you that I gave you that shot of Valium. This way you can sober up from your intoxication so that you don't hurt yourself or somebody else here. That medicine that I just gave you should help flush all those toxins out along with this. Here sit up for a moment and sip on this but do it slowly so you don't end up throwing up again all over the place.", Officer Travinski said as she grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler to hand it to him.

" Ok.", Leonard groaned as he sat back up again and swung his legs over to set his feet down on the deck before he took the bottle of water from her, cracking it open to take a slow sip. But just after a few sips he set the water down and turned his head to throw up over the side of the boat again.

" Geez Louise Leonard, how much did you have to drink already?! This is a bit concerning!", Officer Travinski asked in concern as she looked at him before she turned her head and interjected, " Claire can you get over here please?! This is important!"

" Coming April. What's going on over here? Is something wrong?", Claire asked in concern as she walked over.

" Yes, I think Leonard might have alcohol poisoning! He just had a few sips of water and now he's throwing up again! I don't know what we do in a situation like this out on open water!", Officer Travinski said in concern as she felt her anxiety start to go up.

" Ok ok let's not panic! I have a solution to this, just stay here with him for a moment! I'll be right back!", Claire said in concern as she put her hands up for a moment before she began sprinting like a bat out of hell towards the stairs to run down them to the lower deck of the boat thinking in her head in a panic, ' Oh for fuck sake this can not happen to me again! I do not want to lose another person in my life and I don't want Tori to end up like me with in terms of her losing her father too!' which instantly began to catch everyone else's attention causing them to stare in that direction wondering what was going on. As she then came sprinting back up the stairs moments later with an IV line and an IV fluid bag as well as the machine pump that makes it flow is when Raj interjected, " Woah woah woah what's up with you Claire?! Why are you in such a rush?!"

" I don't have time to talk right now! We have another life or death emergency here!", Claire shrieked in a panic as she sprinted with the items over to where her employee was with Leonard who was still puking his guts out over the side of the boat and not looking too good.

" Yeah but what's… OH MY GOD MY HUSBAND!", Delaynie asked before she shrieked in horror at the scene unfolding and instantly ran over to where Leonard was.

" Oh Lord what fresh hell is this?! Leonard!", Sheldon shrieked as he did the same thing with everyone else which including Howard hobbling on his broken foot over there using his makeshift crutches that he was walking with.

" Yeah seriously, what's going on here?!", several of the others shrieked in concern as well.

" Apparently Leonard gave himself alcohol poisoning after binge drinking on beer! That's what's going on!", Officer Travinski shrieked in concern as her and Claire began to gently lay Leonard back down on his back after Officer Travinski released his wrist from the handcuffs before Claire hooked him up to the IV and fluid bag, pressing the start button on the pump to allow the fluid to start flowing into his system.

*Leonard groaning and moaning, " Oh god I don't feel so good, I feel like I'm gonna…"

" WHAT?!", everyone shrieked in concern.

" Oh my god, Dad!", Tori shrieked in concern as she covered her mouth, gasping in horror at the state her father was in to which instantly made her want to start crying over it.

" Sweetheart calm down, it's ok! We got to get back to the boat launch now and notify emergency to meet us there ASAP!", Delaynie said in concern as she pulled her daughter into her, rubbing her back in gentle circles.

" I'm already on that Delaynie! Alright Dad you're going to have to get out of the seat because I need to get us back to the campground immediately and call 9-1-1!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected as he raced over to the boat driver's seat where his father was still sitting in it driving the boat.

" Well you don't have to tell me twice sonny! Punch it!", Grandpa Brezokowsky interjected at his son as he got up from the seat and waved his hands around.

" Thanks I will! Hang on Leonard, we're getting you help!", Mr. Brezokowsky interjected as he cranked the boat motor up as fast as it would go after he turned the boat around, heading in the direction where the boat launch was before he quickly pulled out his cell phone to call 9-1-1.

" 9-1-1 what's your emergency?", a female dispatcher asked when she answered the call.

" Hi this is Wayne Brezokowsky, I'm calling on the behalf of one of my friends who's currently having a severe case of alcohol poisoning on my boat at this moment.", Mr. Brezokowsky said in concern as he kept racing his boat to get himself and everyone else back to the boat launch.

" Alcohol poisoning?", the dispatcher asked as she was beginning to type the information into her computer.

" Yes.", Mr. Brezokowsky said in concern.

" And you said you're on a boat sir?", the dispatcher asked.

" Yes I'm out on open water with my family and several of our friends and one of them apparently drank a little too much beer a little too fast and he's not acting right. I'm currently racing us back to the boat launch that we launched from over a few hours ago. We're at a campground for a vacation at the moment.", Mr. Brezokowsky said in concern.

" Ok and can you tell me the name of the campground you folks are at?", the dispatcher asked.

" Yes it's the Calabasas KOA.", Mr. Brezokowsky said in concern.

" Alright thank you and can you also tell me who this person is that's having this episode at the moment?", the dispatcher asked.

" Yes his name's Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, he's an experimental physicist who works at Caltech in Pasadena.", Mr. Brezokowsky said in concern.

" Ok I'm dispatching units out to your location as we speak right now. They should be there the moment you arrive back at the launch.", the dispatcher said.

" Thank you, bye.", Mr. Brezokowsky before he hung up the phone and a short time later as they pulled up to the launch was when several EMTs came running towards the boat with a gurney to transport Leonard to the hospital to treat his symptoms for alcohol poisoning. While everyone else waited back at the campground Delaynie, Zoey, Officer Travinski, and Claire hitched a ride in the back of the ambulance to go with him.

" Oh god I'm really scared right now! What if we lose him?! I don't want have to tell my daughter…!", Delaynie shrieked in a panic with tears in her eyes as the sirens and lights were going on around them during the ride to the hospital.

" It's ok sis, let's not think bad thoughts here! Leonard's going to be fine! He's not going to die!", Zoey shrieked in a panic too with tears as well as she kept squeezing her sister's hand.

" Hell no he's not Zoey! We're not going to have that!", Claire shrieked in a panic with the same look.

" True that! We ain't losing another person here like we lost your father Claire! No way no how!", Officer Travinski shrieked in a panic with the same look as well.

*Leonard groaning as he threw up again, this time into a bucket that was sitting in his lap on the gurney*

" Oh god Leonard, hang in there honey we're gonna get you help! Whatever you do please do not pass out! Tori and I don't want to lose you! None of us do!", Delaynie shrieked with tears streaming as she grabbed her husband's hand and squeezed it, kissing his cheek when she bent over him.

Wow, no one saw that coming! For those of you who have questions about the part where Sheldon got in trouble and went to jail I wanted to make this jail thing a bit different by turning it into more like a time out thing rather than Sheldon actually going to jail because I thought it would make this a bit funnier!
