Chapter 10: Coopers again
Medford Texas, Christmas break
The taxi driver had a hard as hell time finding this house in this snow, but he found the house and delivered those two dorky looking kids to the middle of Medford Texas. After paying the driver his fare they ran to the door with their bags
"Hey Sheldon!" Missy said calling them in
Sheldon took off his coat "hey guys" he said greeting both Missy and Georgie and saying hi to Meemaw, Mandy, and Cece also in the room "this is Leonard" he introduced as Leonard said hi to all of them
"You sure your mom's ok with you staying with us" Georgie asked
"Course, we don't celebrate christmas at our place and I made the argument that this was the perfect time to visit Sheldon while school's out" he explained putting his bag down
They all sat down and told stories "alright so what happened with your research project?" Meemaw asked
"Well-"
Caltech, Pasadena, six months earlier
Dr. Mathews enjoyed his coffee as he went into his project first thing in the- Sheldon was here and already here and wrote a bunch of stuff on the chalkboard "SHELDON WHAT DID YOU….oh this looks interesting" he said looking it over
"I had a lot of time to look it over while I was gone for the month"
"You went somewhere?" he said
"Anyways let's call this a success with yoo-hoos" Sheldon said going to the vending machine
Present
"Awesome" Missy said giving him a thumbs up
"What about you, did Michael and Debby ever try to get in contact with you?"
"Only questions about their car"
Modesto, California, six months earlier
Michael and Debby waited patiently until a tow truck came up with…a Lamborghini?
He parked it right in front of them and set it down "sorry about the wait"
They just stood in confusion as they saw the new tires, pristine windows…, the leather chairs, and new car smell
"Is something wrong did I bring you the wrong car"
"Ugh NO! No this is definitely the right car"
Present
"Wow they committed a misdemeanor" Sheldon pointed out
"So Sheldon, Beverly and Alfred are seriously perfectly fine with you staying here this much?"
"Oh yes"
New Jersey, six months earlier
"Interesting now would you say you have some kind of psychological desire to be with your blood family?" Beverly ecstatically asked, taking notes in the template of her new book. "Or perhaps a disdain or spitefulness towards your host family?"
"Well no"
"Are you sure" Beverly said jiggling her pen
Present
Eventually Meemaw came out with two skinny presents and handed them to Sheldon and Missy "we just couldn't wait until tomorrow"
"Wait is that what I think it is" Missy excitedly said as she grabbed the present
Sheldon was a bit more confused as he grabbed and unwrapped his present, it was a document mostly filled out… about their name
"If you want, you can finally become Coopers again" Meemaw offered
Missy signed hers almost instantly while Sheldon thought about a little "Leonard?"
"Go on bro, this is great" Leonard supportively said before Sheldon signed it
After a touching moment it was a night of jolly Christmas cheer before night swept through and the snow finished falling…and the drive in started playing again. Missy woke Sheldon and Leonard before borrowing Georgie's car
"Hope they bring it home in one piece" Georgie said as he heard them while reading 'Get rich quick' magazine
Still the Present
"And since I am Dead, I can take off my Head" Jack Skeleton sung as they watched the drive-in screen in the car
"This is so weird that it's cool" Leonard said taking a bite of caramel corn
"Agreed" Sheldon said "so just to make sure, you parked way too close intentionally right" Sheldon successfully made a joke
Missy tossed caramel corn at him in retaliation. "Delinquent" Sheldon lightly insulted
"Weirdo" Missy shot back
"Nice try, we all know you love me"
"Do I know that… yes, yes I do"
THE END
Hey guys, really hope you enjoyed this story, I'll be releasing a few more Young Sheldon stories that aren't related so check those out when they get released. This story actually started as a challenge, to see if I could write an entire story in the span of a week (I failed actually, it took me like twelve days to write the first draft) but I also had a lot of fun writing it and I'm actually kinda proud of it. Thank you for reading, and Please Review!
