“ DeAnna. DeAnna Rivers, can you hear me?” a nurse asked as she placed a soft hand on the 4th grade teacher’s shoulder.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQJrElkMYzE
“ What? What happened? Where am I?”, Mrs. Rivers softly asked as she began to slowly regain consciousness.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAt5QjMGKNhm
“ You’re in the hospital. These two women and this man found you laying in a field in the middle of the night with a gunshot wound to your head.”, the nurse said as she gestured toward Leo, Dakota, and Sheldon.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAUlTEs8LHL5

13Please respect copyright.PENANAe1AOWkamoS
“ Who did this to you?”, Leo asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ9w88aqCB
“ I don’t know. I couldn’t see his face. He had a black ski mask over his head.”, Mrs. Rivers said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA7YrQgFnWdE
“ Well if he ever shows his stupid face around here again I’m gonna deck him! I am a MMA fighter after all!”, Dakota exclaimed as she threw a series of punches and kicks before smacking her elbow on the heart monitor.

“ This is my boyfriend Dr. Sheldon Cooper. He’s a physicist in the same field as well and he is the love of my life.”, Leo said as she looked at Sheldon with a smile on her face.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAp5IVmofELz
“ It’s nice to meet you Dr. Cooper.”, Mrs. Rivers said. Sheldon nodded his head as the conversation carried on. After a few minutes Sheldon said, “ Leo we should probably get back to Gidget outside.”
13Please respect copyright.PENANAaIB3MRTCZX
“ Oh yeah I completely forgot that Gidget was with us. I’m so sorry to cut the conversation short Mrs. Rivers but we got to get back outside to my dog. She’s probably wandering aimlessly in the parking lot right now wondering where we are.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAStcqPoFPc3
“ Oh that’s alright. I’m going to try to sleep anyway. Thank you for finding me and saving my life.”, Mrs. Rivers said.

13Please respect copyright.PENANAaRIC6yteVd
“ I don’t know. Gidget? Where are you girl? Gidget? Gidget?”, Leo called out but got no response. She paniced and began running down the road.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAB6x11tbmIc
“ Yo Leo wait up!”, Dakota exclaimed as she chased after her friend.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAOvIppCLldm

“ Oh god! Who’s calling me at this ungodly hour?!”, Donny said in a groggy tired voice but not so loud to wake up Amanda who was sleeping in the bed next to him.
13Please respect copyright.PENANARamxNWIyky
“ It’s your sister-in law Leo! Who do you think it is Donny?!”, Leo exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAvORorFrl6x
“ Leo why are you calling me?! It’s after 1 o’clock in the morning! Your sister and I are trying to sleep!”, Donny quietly hissed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAMWeC6TPfvD
“ Gidget got away from us after we stopped at the hospital to check on my former 4th grade teacher! Can you maybe get up, grab Gidget’s leash, a couple of treats and come find us?! We’re literally chasing her all over the city right now!”, Leo exclaimed.

13Please respect copyright.PENANAlcCQ4Qskyf
“ Yes which is why I now have to go out on a wild goose chase or more appropriately a wild dog chase!”, Donny hissed as he threw on some clothes and stormed out of the room. He walked downstairs, grabbed his car keys, grabbed Gidget’s leash as well as a few dog treats and left the house.

“ You guys hear that?! That’s probably Gidget! Gidget, come here girl!”, Leo exclaimed as she ran toward the sound of Gidget’s barking. Sheldon and Dakota followed her and when they all found Gidget they were completely confused. Gidget was standing at the base of a tree barking at something that was moving along a tree branch. Dakota shined her head lamp up the tree and let out a giddy laugh when she saw what it was that Gidget was barking at. It was a little orange and white kitty cat.
13Please respect copyright.PENANALRtbvVhcdx
“ Gidget, it’s just a cat! There’s other living creatures living in this world besides you! You don’t need to go insane over that!”, Leo laughed.

13Please respect copyright.PENANALSgQJElgXH
Woof!
13Please respect copyright.PENANACLJ9te9fWV
“ Come here girl! Come get some treats!”, Donny called out as he shook the bag. Gidget instantly sprinted toward him wagging her tail behind her. Donny tossed her some treats before attaching the leash to her collar. Gidget gobbled up the treats before Donny put her in the car.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAxMOyYmObcM
“ Thanks Donny.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANASau1dyAwOs

“ Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!”, Dakota shouted as she was suddenly woken up by a loud crash and the ADT security system shrieking. The perpetrator was climbing in through the living room window holding a crowbar. Dakota jumped off the couch and chased him through the house swinging her hammer at him. The commotion alerted the Fordyces as well as Sheldon. They ran down the stairs causing Gidget to start barking up a storm.

“ Someone just broke into your house and he’s wearing a ski mask! I think it’s the same guy who attacked Mrs. Rivers!”, Dakota screamed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANASDpxmDqzhY
“ All of you get in the walk-in closet now and Robert go lock all the doors and windows! Make sure this guy doesn’t escape while I go get dressed!”, Mrs. Fordyce commanded.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ06QVWplA
“ Mom what about Gidget?!”, Leo shrieked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAHdPahUleBQ
“ No! Leave Gidget out! It will make it a lot easier for me to catch this guy if she scares him!”, Mrs. Fordyce scolded.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAwARxjBrvOD
“ Is your mother seriously making us go into a closet right now?!”, Sheldon shrieked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAdxbtCLnPJ5
“ Apparently so Sheldon! Everybody pile in!”, Stephen exclaimed. Once his siblings, brother-in law and Sheldon were all in the closet Stephen poked his head out and shouted, “ Dakota! Get in here!”

“ I can’t right now Stephen! I’m trying to break this guy’s skull!”, Dakota shouted.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAfXVni19jRo
“ Just because you’re an MMA fighter doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want Dakota Harris so get in the closet with the rest of us now! Let my mom handle it!”, Stephen shouted.
13Please respect copyright.PENANApbBOpMTMsQ
“ How am I supposed to do that when he’s looking right at me?!”, Dakota shouted. In an instant Kennedy makes the split second decision to bolt out of the closet and into the kitchen. She grabbed the bottle of ketchup out of the fridge and ran out of the kitchen.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAeURh8NepeC
“ Kennedy what are you...?!”, Dakota exclaimed as Kennedy suddenly chucked the bottle at the perpetrator which hit him in the nuts before grabbing Dakota by the hand. Dakota screamed as she was yanked out of the room and into the closet.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAvrP0NpjGpX
“ Kennedy what the hell did you just do?!”, Leo exclaimed as she stared at her sister.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGEHlkywZ7U
“ I chucked a bottle of ketchup at him and it hit him in the nuts!”, Kennedy laughed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANARqJk3Clv7z
“ Why would you do that?! Now you probably pissed him off!”, Amanda hissed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAis9PK26FQN
“ Oh I don’t like this at all! This is becoming completely obnoxious!”, Sheldon exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAg6hhjFgO5U

As he watched his girlfriend shooting paintballs at her brothers he thought about maybe asking her to join the university’s paintball team. He thought that with her on his team they would have even more of an advantage on the geologists.

13Please respect copyright.PENANA8YSwa9hw9C
“ Dr. Sheldon Cooper. A lot of people think of him as a nutcase because of his strange quirks but to me he’s unlike any guy I’ve ever met. He’s very sweet and he treats me with so much respect.

“ Oh that’s wonderful! I used to have a boyfriend too but we broke up 2 years ago because my father didn’t like him. His name was Emmett Yojimbo and he wasn’t all that nice anyway. He became very controlling and he would sometimes get very angry with me. So one day my father yelled at him to go back to his country and never see me again. So that was the end of mine and Emmett’s relationship.”, Yesenia said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANATKC2J0XVJh

“ You and me are in the same boat sister. I just broke up with my boyfriend who turned out to be a jerk as well. His name was Rico Boriellas.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA92ahtBY8sK
“ What happened with that Dakota?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAwDeUo9rjpe
“ Well he did pretty much the same stuff that Emmett did to you except my problems are probably a lot worse than yours.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAPlDwGrtT5f
“ How so?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA2z2VPeJQiP
“ Well Rico got so mad when I broke up with him that he came after me with a homemade Walking Dead Lucille bat and attacked with it.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAEo2fycTqnq
“ Oh Dakota that’s horrible! He seriously did that to you?!”, Yesenia asked in complete shock.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAFDxXAmCKii
“ Yeah he did and Leo and Sheldon almost got hurt as well. It was so bad that Leo litterally had to hide behind her kitchen counter while Sheldon was defending himself with his pistol.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA5s39OZuwHV
“ Where were you when all of this was happening?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAvAguL6HkCp
“ I was hiding in the hallway closet until Rico came bounding toward me and just started beating me with the bat.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA9QItwQNvny
“ Well have you found anyone else since then?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAbY3a55aDC5
“ Not yet but I know I will at some point. You will too.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAEHiwKp8vn0
“ Thank you.”, Yesenia said with a smile.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGbLtRGHUfM
Stand up stand up! We shall not be moved! Except by a child with no socks and shoes! If you got more to give than you got to prove, put your hands up and I’ll copy you!
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGZxwWvLwvG
“ Ahhhhh my phone’s ringing!”, Leo exclaimed as she pulled her phone out and answered it. She talked on the phone for a few minutes before hanging up.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAkZp6Bui3Ds
“ Who was that Leo?”, Dakota asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bww184FLk
“ That was my mom. She just called to tell me that Mrs. Rivers just got released from the hospital and that she’s at home recovering.”, Leo said with a smile.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAmnDf6eFkOe
“ Oh that’s wonderful!”, Dakota exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAhbkcIP1K0r
“ Who’s that?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANASuE1R9rLEt
“ She’s our old 4th grade teacher.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAWgk9x6XIeN
“ Why was she in the hospital?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAHgCDHMeYjk
“ Because some lowlife idiot kidnapped her a week ago and shot her last night. Then he decided to break into Leo’s house this morning but luckily we stopped him dead in his tracks.”, Dakota said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAzDN1L6stne
“ Which was a big mistake on his part because my mom’s a police officer.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAcxFqb7eDz9
“ Wau! That definitely is a huge mistake!”, Yesenia exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAHJavvSNdNZ
“ Yeah and what cracked me up is what Leo’s sister Kennedy did! She grabbed a bottle of ketchup out of the fridge and threw it at him! I’m mean really?! A FRACKING KETCHUP BOTTLE!”, Dakota laughed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAIOYzAKs7iK
“ Oh that is hilarious! I’m sure he wasn’t expecting that!”, Yesenia laughed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANApJhwdXT51k
“ No he wasn’t!”, Dakota laughed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANALixLeCUnSP
“ So Shelina how did you and Yesenia meet each other?”, Leo asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArwlhl6qy8d
“ We met at work. She just started working at our office building a few weeks ago and so we introduced ourselves. Next thing I knew we were sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee, laughing and carrying a conversation with each other.”, Shelina said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAcyyAwOdaLd
“ That’s really interesting and don’t even think about it Kemdan!”, Leo interjected as she noticed Kemdan standing behind her trying to make another flirtacious move on her. He was still infatuated with her.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArT4Expr9yF
“ Aww come on! Esto es ridículo!”, Kemdan exclaimed as he backed away.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA3UWrYgZdO9
“ Kemdan Ryan Castle, what part of ‘ we’re best friends’ don’t you get?!”, Leo interjected.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAV57eljI4e8
“ I can’t help it!”, Kemdan exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAyUKk4hngoU
“ How many times do I have to tell you that I’m dating Sheldon?!”, Leo shot back.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAg1WEm0npgb
“ I know I know!”, Kemdan exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAlk8gneugIv
“ Well if you know then why do you keep doing it?!”, Leo shot back.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAtnchpDNQMp
“ I just told you why! You’re not like other girls I’ve met and you’re pretty!”, Kemdan exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAyxYgqMyL3M
“ Well that’s exactly why Sheldon’s in love with me. Look, I like you as a best friend and even though I still have a special place in my heart for Brady I’ve moved on to Sheldon and I’m very happy. That should be enough for you. Sheldon and I have great chemistry together. We have so many things in common that I don’t think you and I would have. If you and I were together chances are things wouldn’t have worked out and we would’ve ruined a really great friendship. I don’t know how else to explain that to you. We’ve had this discussion before Kem and you may not realize it but you’re starting to exhibit some of the same behaviors as crazy Dr. Nowitzki.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQvEtHkwfZD
“ Well I wouldn’t say that Leo.”, Kemdan said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAbNKrCo1Kid
“ Well you know what I mean Kemdan!”, Leo shot back.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAgsMa1nVHV9
“ Hey can we not talk about that psycho woman anymore? She’s serving a life sentence in prison remember?”, Megynn asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAUP2MuL3y8q
“ What did this woman do?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAj0iotZxmxm
“ Oh you don’t even want to know what this woman did Yesenia! We’re still very pissed off about it!”, Morgan interjected.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAfl0ZMnskjs
“ No really, what did she do?”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANACTaNSTIzPP
“ I honestly don’t want to go into details about it because you’re gonna think how can anyone do that to another person but I’m going to tell you as best as I can. So Dr. Ramona Nowitzki was a physics grad student at Caltech which is the university that Sheldon and I work at with some of our friends. She was very obsessed with Sheldon and essentially built up this fantasy in her head, to which she denied it, a fantasy in which she believes that her and Sheldon are in a relationship together which is absolutely not true what so ever but when she found out that I was dating him she thought of me as a threat and wanted me out of the way, as in, out of existance.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAnNsYfHuN6j
“ Geunyeoga neol jug-ilyeogo haess-eo?!”, Yesenia shrieked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANATrdAOioldh
“ Yeah, she broke into my apartment in the middle of the night and dragged me out of my bed while I was sleeping to a crematory warehouse!”, Leo exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAwtvKGqpz7G
“ Oh no she didn’t!”, Yesenia exclaimed with a gasp. She could already tell where this story was heading.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAV6tE6Ts0Px
“ Oh yeah she did! That bi**hy whore tried to cremate me alive! It was the most terrifying night of my life that I’ll never forget!”, Leo exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA6TlATcVtTS
“ Oh Leo, that’s horrible!”, Yesenia gasped.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAn5m6LO9jso
“ So in conclusion she got sentenced to life in prison without parole. So she’s now locked away for the rest of her life.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAy39LIuZjb0
“ So let me clarify this, Dr. Nowitzki was in love with your boyfriend Dr. Cooper so she wanted to get rid of you by cremating you alive Leo?!”, Yesenia asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAeJHztKBCLM
“ Yes that’s exactly how she wanted to get rid of me Yesenia! She didn’t want to leave any traces of evidence behind her so she thought that was the only way that she was going to be able to get rid of me without anyone suspecting a thing!”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA8SqEFWcpDs
“ Geulae, nugunga jal al-ass-eulgeoya. If I was you I would’ve just told them to kill her.”, Yesenia said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAYBE0W0T5ol
“ Yeah I know. I thought about doing that but then I thought what good would that do? She needs to really suffer and think about what she did to me.”, Leo said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArGViA80kGP
“ Naneun neowa dong-uihanda.”, Yesenia said as she nodded her head.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAAyKqqC6ZZR
“ Hey let’s listen to some music! It’s getting kind of dead in the water just standing around talking!”, Melissa exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAWHUNO0zmao
“ Yeah I agree! Got any songs that we can listen to Shelina?”, Carmen asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAJzdmrpE2LQ
“ Yeah I got tons of songs Carmen! Here’s one that Yesenia might know! It’s from a band in her country!”, Shelina said as she played the song. It was Baepsae by The Bangtan Boys.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAo4tH5WvlED
“ I love The Bangtan Boys!”, Yesenia exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAwmGoqTDj0u
“ Oh yeah this is what I’m talking about! Let’s drop that beat!”, Melissa exclaimed as she began to dance.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAO3UQGL6506
“ Melissa!”, Leo interjected as she began to laugh. Her friends began to laugh as well.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArnQHGCgr4C
“ That’s nothing Melissa, check this out!”, Megynn exclaimed as she began to show off as well.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAOd7KSywoK4
“ Show off! Watch this!”, Morgan exclaimed as she showed off some hip-hop dance.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAvU26wIseBV
“ What is that you’re doing Morgan?!”, Shelina asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA7vDmY6VSIu
“ Duh, I’m doing The Spongebob!”, Morgan exclaimed as she continued doing the dance.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArpV3Xopvgp
“ That looks so cool Morgan! Let me try it!”, Leo exclaimed as she tried to do it too but couldn’t figure it out.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAMOloVGAckr
“ How do you do this?! It doesn’t seem as easy as it looks!”, Leo exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAJUO6GHlrvq
“ What the hell are you talking about?! It’s real simple Leo! Just copy what I do!”, Morgan exclaimed as she went through it step by step. Leo caught on to it very quickly and just exploded into the dance.
13Please respect copyright.PENANARqWtRTfgcK
“ Oh yeah! Go Leo!”, Shelina exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGXNTQV3731
“ Yeah you got it Fordyce!”, Melissa exclaimed as she started doing it too.
13Please respect copyright.PENANApYWMNVeABL
“ That’s Dr. Fordyce to you!”, Leo shot back.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAB6liB3WsLQ
“ Bailamos!”, Kemdan exclaimed as he joined in with his friends doing the Spongebob.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA5oIKyt1qcg
“ Let me get in on this action too you guys!”, Carmen exclaimed as she joined in.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAPRQEaLraBC
“ Me three!”, Megynn exclaimed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAl2HEcJy7sW
“ Should we join them Yesenia?”, Shelina asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAthYLsh5x9H
“ Ne, ulineun syelli nahaeyahabnida!”, Yesenia exclaimed as she nodded her head. The two of them joined in with their friends. They were all doing the Spongebob dance.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAsJV5PGwKAW
“ Hey you guys, you forgot about me! Move over!”, Dakota exclaimed as she joined them too. As they continued dancing Shelina switched the song to Clumsy by Fergie but decided that she didn’t really want that so she switched it to Timber by Pitbull feat. Ke$ha. At some point as the night went on and everyone went home Leo had fallen asleep on the sidewalk. Moments later she found herself laying in the backseat of Leonard’s car with her head against Sheldon’s thigh.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA2L1ZpHcJd6
“ Are you ok?”, Sheldon asked as he looked at her.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAJsf2Vlq7ei
“ Yeah I’m fine. How did I get here?”, Leo softly asked as she slowly blinked her eyes.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAWYgvjo61cZ
“ Leonard and I came out to find you after I got concerned when you didn’t come back. We found you asleep on the sidewalk. Did you consume any alcohol tonight?”, Sheldon asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQNRa3Qfr2f
“ No I didn’t. I was just having fun with my friends and I don’t know I guess I just fell asleep.”, Leo softly said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANArljlT3H1UK
“ You’re really lucky nothing happened to you. There’s a lot of crazy sick weirdos out there that prowl around at this time of night looking for young women like you.”, Leonard said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANARvPOWhRpDw
“ I’m not an idiot Leonard, I know.”, Leo softly said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAr65aLVGa4R
“ Let’s just go home. I don’t want to talk about that stuff.”, Sheldon said.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAVfLQscSe3X
Apartment 2A…
13Please respect copyright.PENANA4yy7vX8TeW
“ Good night Leo. I love you.”, Sheldon said as he was laying next to her in the bed.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA0U9qNw41Wr
“ I love you too Sheldon. Good night.”, Leo said as she kissed him before going to sleep. Sheldon stared at the picture of him and Leo together that was sitting next to the picture of Leo and Brady on the night stand. The smiling faces made him smile as he drifted off to sleep.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAI1kBfLLGm4
The next morning after breakfast Sheldon and Leo sat next to each other on the couch talking.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQm2w22nYVJ
“ What?”, Sheldon asked as he saw his girlfriend staring at him with a smile on her face.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAcPXILDLzzl
“ I just love staring at you.”, Leo said as she continued smiling.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAU0ME9kby75
“ That’s it?!”, Sheldon asked.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA59lZaRUqkB
“ Not entirely.”, Leo said as she leaned over and kissed him.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAg8DqcJJfzl
“ Damn you woman!”, Sheldon exclaimed as he threw himself into her deepening the kiss. Leo turned on the stereo and began to dance with him around her apartment. The song playing was Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield ( the ugly truth mashup).
13Please respect copyright.PENANAzeqs3u4H1y
‘ Dear Lord I love this woman so much! I want to spend the rest of my life with her! I’m just not sure when the right time would be to ask her! Maybe I will eventually talk to my mother before asking Leo’s father!’, Sheldon thought in his head as the two of them continued dancing around the apartment together. They continued kissing each other too as the sun began to continue rising outside over the city of Pasadena.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAwBkz1T6u6z
Omg! Sheldon’s thinking about eventually asking Leo to marry him! Will he be successful in doing so or not?! Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
