A/N - Because this is a missing scene in my head, anyway. Didn't anyone else hope we'd see this? Failing getting Sheldon dressed up like Boromir...*sigh*
Penny sighed, slumped down on her couch, kicked off her shoes. Man, what a day. Tuesdays were always a little weird. (Six foot of weird, normally.) Fishes into the collar of her blouse and pulls out the chain. Looks at the ring.
A movie prop. Like she doesn't know. She's a frickin' actress. She works in the industry. (Not much, but, y'know, she'll catch a break, one day.) So she didn't catch on right away about Stan Lee. If he'd said - 'creator of Spiderman, y'know, the Raimi film with Tobey Maguire', that, she'd get. And no, the name Adam West wasn't immediately familiar, but she knows the show. Saturday morning re-runs, waiting to go play catch with her Pop. They'd have breakfast together, matching ballcaps. She doesn't know all the same stuff they do, but she's not completely stupid - she just comes at it from a different angle, sometimes.
(Leonard's never given her anything before. He doesn't even buy flowers.)
She supposes that if they'd given it to Sheldon, he'd probably be trying to annihilate the Armies of the West by now. All scary supervillain cackling. She doesn't doubt who will win in a battle of wills with those guys - been around them too long. It was kinda nice to see them geeking out together again - been a while since they seemed that comfortable round each other.
She holds it up. It's kinda pretty, really. She smiles. There's nobody around to see. Stands up and strikes a dramatic pose.
“In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!”
(Outside the door, Sheldon, fist poised to knock, pauses...
...Queen Penelope, clad in white, holding the One Ring, tall and golden and perfect. Smiling upon the warrior who brought it to her...
...Heat in his cheeks, he backs away from the door. No, he won't disturb her.)
