Big Bang Theory ficet: "the laundry revelation"
faint crossover in the background...fans of *M*A*S*H* might recognize Penny's relatives (the aunt was in only one ep that I know of)
Title: The Non-Freudian Laundry Revelalation
Author: Keenir
Spoilers: 2.15 - coda to that ep.
Pairing(s): mild (if faint) Penny/Sheldon
Character(s): Penny, Sheldon
Word count: 286
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: None of them are mine.
Summary: More conversation between Penny and Sheldon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laundry day. Yep, that time of week. Penny knew she could stay in her room rather than in potential listen to Sheldon go on and on about the wonderful Mrs. Hofstader. Penny blinked - potentially, she corrected herself with mild horror.
But, laundry waits for no man. Hers least of all.
“Get it over with, Sheldon,” Penny said while the two of them waited for their clothes.
“I beg your pardon?” he asked.
“I’m surprised you’re not praising Leonard’s mother to the Moon.”
“Oh that wouldn’t be far at all.”
“Right,” Penny said under her breath; “silly me.”
“In fact,” Sheldon continued, “while she has numerous positive qualities, on my Interpersonal Interaction Scale -” which didn’t surprise Penny that he had one - “she actually ranks well below you.”
“Really?” half tempted to hug Sheldon, to ‘squeeze the stuffing out of him’ as her chaplain uncle and doctor aunt would put it when they confided to Penny about their time in Korea.
“Oh quite. Among other things, her karaoke skills are far inferior to yours. Not to mention how she relies upon the works of Freud.”
“Something’s wrong with Freud?” Besides, you know, everything.
“You mean besides being outdated and disproven?”
Penny felt a rush of relief. “Sheldon, sweetie,” Penny said, “Hows about we finish this conversation over cake after we finish our laundry.” I want to hear all about how I’m superior to that over-degreed pompous ass.
“Agreed.” After thinking that over, “Why Penny, are you asking me out?”
“No, I’m asking you up,” in the spatial sense.
“Oh. Oh!”
“Don’t get any ideas, Sheldon.”
“You should know by now, Penny, how improbable that is.
She smiled. There were times when Sheldon just had that effect.
