Penny's eyes were bright and paying rapt attention to the horses stampeding past them. She let out a gasp of joy as one of the horses inched past the one that was currently in the lead. She leaned forward, her hands gripping the metal railing as her upper body edged closer, as if keeping herself from trying to leap on the back of the horse that was galloping past.
Sheldon was quite sure that if he had even glanced at the horses since the race had begun he would have been easily been able to determine which of the horses would be declared the winner.
However, for reasons unknown to him, Penny had dressed herself "appropriately" for the event she had dragged him out to. Her hair was braided into two braids, and each of the ends rested on her clavicle and brushing up against the collar of the blue and yellow plaid shirt she had tied the tails of beneath her bust. She shifted again and his eyes traveled to the point where the metal railing pressed against her skin of her stomach. It was amazing how the tan of her skin looked against different surfaces and patterns.
A breathy gasp startled him out of his reverie and suddenly her hand was pleasantly gripping his arm. He blinked at the jolt to his stomach and wondered if this is what the others felt like when Penny's bottle green eyes centered on them. He realized she was speaking then.
"Sheldon, look!"
He thought he might have detected excitement in her voice, but all he could concentrate on was the way the blue and yellow plaid brushed up against the tan curve of her neck. His eyes finally flickered upwards to meet hers and was slightly startled when she leaned in then, a smirk on her face.
"I guess you're from Texas after all Cowboy." She drawled out in a voice that did something to his stomach. His eyes widened a bit and he simply watched her watching him before she found something in his eyes and her smirk slid into a smile before she turned her gaze back towards the horses and leaned up against the railing again.

Sheldon wasn't sure how he had ended up in Dodger Stadium his long limbs squished into a seat between Raj and Penny, but he was positive it had something to do with the woman seated to his right. The baseball game was in full swing but he was trying to distract himself from the game by reciting first the Period Table of Elements and then every scientist known to man in his head. It was no use though and instead his thoughts were drawn into the past.
He hated being reminded of his childhood. Pee Wee Baseball had been a forced constant every summer until he had left for Germany.
Baseball still left a bad taste in his mouth, simply because the little baseball diamond his team had been given was continually dusty and devoid of any sort of shrub. The dust had often blown into his face, eyes and mouth, leaving him to gasp for breath in the outfield while Missy's bat cracked against the ball, slamming it over the simple chain length fence.
The bitterness of lemon snoballs after the game had never completely erased the taste, and had only served to make his hands both dirty and sticky.
He was jolted out of his memories when his right hand was violently tugged on. He blinked, once, twice before turning to glare at Penny. He opened his mouth to ask what in the world she thought she was doing yanking on his hand like that, she could hurt someone for goodness sake, when suddenly her hand was threading through the hair at the back of his neck and her lips were on his.
His hands gripped the armrests of his seat, a shiver snapping his spine straight before he realized that Penny was kissing him. There was no movement from him for several seconds and then unexpectedly he was kissing her back.
It seemed like it had been light years, but the kiss had merely lasted seconds. He blinked at her owlishly, her lips reddened in a way that made his stomach invert itself.
Suddenly he was aware of the stares of Howard and Leonard, and he was sure Raj was choking on the popcorn that he had advised against.
Penny however, was simply giving him a smile and pointed to the large TV that showed the game for those in higher seats.
“Kiss cam.” She said giving him a smile before settling into her seat and taking the box of popcorn from Leonard's limp hand.
Title: It Happened on a Thursday

Sheldon's routine is ruined on a Thursday.
Every weekday he walks into Caltech and passes the secretary. He nods and lets out a, "Hello Ms. Rand." As it is polite to do so, and then continues to his office.
However, this Thursday there is a problem.
He walks past the secretary and after saying his hello he pauses and turns back around.
Instead of Ms. Rand sitting at the large desk there is another blond, this one with bottle green eyes. He stares at her for a moment and watches her face curve into an amused grin.
"Ms. Rand is sick today." The girl, woman pipes up then. "I usually work in the engineering department, but there's two of us over there so I volunteered to work over here." She said.
Leonard finally makes his way in the building. He likes to dawdle in the parking lot. Sheldon watches the way he begins to twist his hands together and decides that its not worth watching his friend 'crash and burn' as the colloquial term goes.
He turns around then and as he walks to his office he wonders what her name was.
Title: "Uh, Mrs. Cooper?"
Fandom: BBT
Pairing: S/P
Rating: PG

Penny grits her teeth when, while elbow deep in dishwasher water, a personalized ring tone comes belting out of her cell phone. She knows the ring tone well. Its the sixteen year old girl across the street who babysits for Jim and Leah when she and Sheldon actually manage to make it out of the door without their tag-a-longs.
Unfortunately for her, the baby sitter thinks of Penny like an older sister now, and calls her all the gorram time, leading Sheldon to personalize the ring tone for her so she can chose to ignore the calls if she so chooses. Now is not the time to ignore the girl, because she is making Sheldon go to that play tomorrow night if it is the last thing she does.
Penny sighs and grabs the washrag off the counter and quickly dries off her hands before picking up the phone. "Joanna?" She asks politely.
"Uh, Mrs. Cooper." The teenager sounds a bit nervous. "I was just taking the trash out, and I dunno if you knew this, but I think Jimmy and Leah are making water balloons out of uh, condoms." The last part is whispered, and Penny palms her face.
A sigh escapes her mouth then and her eyes flicker to the window, where she had been listening to her children laugh. That should have been the first warning. "Thank you Joanna. I'll see you tomorrow night, but right now I have to deal with my children." She turns off the phone quickly and sets it back on the table before squaring her shoulders and going to the open window
"JAMES K. AND LEAH M. GET YOUR BUTTS INSIDE THE HOUSE RIGHT THIS INSTANT."
She hears a pattering of feet and suddenly the twins are shoving their way into the kitchen, muttering about who did what this time.
Penny looks at them both and shakes her head. "Where did you get those water balloons." She asked then, and Jimmy ducks his head while Leah defiantly looks at her mother. "Outta yours and Daddy's room." She said. "I knew you were holding out on me mom."
Penny bites her lip then and wrinkles her nose. She's quite glad that's all she kept in that top drawer. "You know better than to go digging through our room, and those are not kid balloons." She said carefully. "They are for adults only, and if I ever see you playing with one until you're thirty you both get grounded for the rest of your life, do I make myself clear?" She asked then.
Leah looks a bit put out at that, but nods, before pulling Jimmy out of the kitchen.
When Sheldon comes home that night she grins at his bewildered face. "Why is there a large collection of condoms on the side of the house?" He asks her and she only shakes her head. "I don't think you want to know."
Title: Starry Night

She mentioned once to him that she and her father used to sit out on the porch swing and he would point out the stars to her. When she was younger she could point out Orion’s Belt with ease, and the Big Dipper, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, they were easy to pinpoint in the Nebraska sky.
It should not surprise her than when her father dies he can’t manage to give her the comfort she really needs. She just wants a hug. An honest to god hug. Instead she gets a pat on the arm and a “there, there, Sheldon’s here.” She cries and buries her head into his chest before jetting off for the funeral.
When she gets back, she almost doesn’t notice. The first night she doesn’t make it into her room and when she wakes up in the morning she doesn’t bother to look up. The second night though, she’s too sad to even attempt to open up a bottle and she throws herself on her bed, face forward. She rolls over and gasps, tears blurring her sight for a reason other than her father’s death.
There are little stars pasted to her ceiling. It takes a moment but she realizes that Sheldon’s meticulous attention to detail has taken over her ceiling and she can point out several constellations, and they’re all in the correct spot.
She falls asleep peacefully that night.
