The next morning Leo woke up to find herself laying on the living room floor of her friend Penny’s. Her memories from last night were all a blur but just as she made a move to sit up her body was stopped halfway by a pair of lanky arms gently wrapped around her stomach. Seeing this Leo suddenly remembered what had happened last night: her and Sheldon got together. As she laid back down she turned her head to see her boyfriend’s sleeping form laying right next to her. Leo leaned over and kissed him which woke him up.

“ Good morning Sheldon.”, Leo said with a smile as she stared into his blue eyes.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRqH31VhW
“ Good morning Leo.”, Sheldon said returning a smile back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfIvJT4SoC
“ How did you sleep?”, Leo asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NKPgqMF3W
“ I slept great. You?”, Sheldon asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGG4inrwXL
“ Me too.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8VB8zGan2
“ Good.”, Sheldon said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWXbUHO3m
“ I love you.”, Leo whispered in Sheldon’s ear with a smile.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUey8jPu9ku
“ I love you too.”, Sheldon whispered back returning a smile. The two of them shared another kiss with each other but were interrupted when they heard Penny walk into the room.

“ Morning Penny.”, Leo said as her and Sheldon got up from the floor. Penny gasped and said, “ Oh my god! Leo, Sheldon, what are you two still doing here?! I thought you went home last night!” She nearly dropped her coffee mug when she said that.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4geDvUsYES
“ Oh sorry about that. We must have passed out on the floor last night and forgot everybody left.”, Leo said gently slinking her arm around Sheldon’s. Normally Sheldon would’ve pulled away but surprisingly this time he didn’t.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmGSvS7lBR
“ It’s ok, just warn a girl next time if that should happen again.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenjaBK805D
“ Of course.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqSCuMy10
“ You seem to be in a better mood today.”, Sheldon said to Penny.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FncHgUEbu
“ Yeah about that, I’m really sorry for yelling last night at you guys. More so Leo.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lpjiIytAJ
“ No no, it’s ok. You don’t have to apologize Penny.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZzRKHYcyf
“ Yeah I do. I was being a real b**** about something I didn’t know the full truth about and I’m really sorry.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbMLYclVxM
“ Well I didn’t really plan on it, it just sort of happened and therefore I’m sorry for making you think I was trying to hurt Amy. I would never do that to a friend.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP705uQkvJE
“ I realize that now. Look can we forget about this and continue to be friends?”, Penny asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aFoYLFtzn
“ Sure. Of course.”, Leo said with a smile. Penny smiled back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLzOX9KVFn
“ So, you and Dr. Whack-a-doodle? Bet you didn’t expect that to happen.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7yqsB1keW
“ I honestly didn’t but I guess things happen for a reason don’t they?”, Leo asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZyQVfdI3W
“ Totally.”, Penny agreed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DsFiHHWQU
“ So how’s Amy feeling?”, Leo asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBatmNaxzg2
“ Hurt but surprisingly mostly happy for you.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCiUG1Yh50
“ Well that’s good that I didn’t sever our friendship. That would be the last thing that I would want to do.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ9qlY6xsV
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!
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0JopZgBZ6
“ Your cell phone’s ringing Leo.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4WiHyhe9
“ Oh it’s my mom. Hi Mom.”, Leo said before she answered the phone.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNWNPpy9hO
“ Leo! How are you sweetheart?!”, Mrs. Fordyce answered.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn4d3sxtuF
“ I’m good, I just woke up. How are you?”, Leo asked as she sat down on the couch.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B46M6KF51
“ Oh I’m good except your brother Junior decided to play an immature prank on me this morning by dumping a half gallon tub of itching powder on me to which I did not appreciate.”, Mrs. Fordyce said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNgqSiSdgP
“ Really Mom?! Well tell my brother Junior he’s a pig head for doing that to you!”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUKYAtdnZk
“ Alright I will.”, Mrs. Fordyce said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvsfKcdOBN
“ Who is Junior?”, Sheldon added in the background.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mINqfzB0
“ Sheldon butt out for a second! I’m talking to my mother!”, Leo exclaimed at her boyfriend with her phone a few inches away from her ear.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZZyNOsDOC
“ Who’s Sheldon?”, Mrs. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjWixrI380
“ He’s my new boyfriend Mom.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchEIYCX4ct
“ New boyfriend?! Oh honey that’s wonderful!”, Mrs. Fordyce exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cl4PMFAy6
“ Yeah but it’s really no big deal Mom. We just got together last night.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIIf4NHRA
“ Honey this is a huge deal! I’m going to go tell your father!”, Mrs. Fordyce exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jc9grWey7
“ No mom don’t...!”, Leo started to say but before she could get her words out she could already hear her mother’s excited voice screaming, “ Robert!” in the background over the phone. She told him what was going on.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEF6UGWBSH
“ What the hambones Leo?! What’s this about a new boyfriend your mother’s telling me about?!”, Mr. Fordyce exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaydXTJzNV
“ Dad it’s really not a big deal. We just got together last night.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqOJjaw81A
“ So, Sheldon eh?”, Mr. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrv646W7sK
“ Yeah Dad. Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kJ1v4pEO
“ Oh so he’s got a Ph. D like you?”, Mr. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM1sZVlvue
“ He has 2 and he’s a theoretical physicist like me. His IQ is 2 points higher than mine.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yHVTj1pQ1
“ Really?!”, Mr. and Mrs. Fordyce shockingly asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTndrfG0oj
“ Yeah. I was really shocked by that when I first met him and his roommate.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYyXkBi1E8
“ Leo that’s just great! Have you two talked about your work together?!”, Mr. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEyEzOB9cU
“ Yeah at least a few times and we’re both really interested in each other’s work.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJ8M5Hf2W
“ Well that’s good. So did anything interesting happen last night?”, Mr. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN510gXxDm
“ It’s probably best if you didn’t know Dad because you’ll probably end up coming out here to kick some guy’s a**.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDGGHo6uc5
“ Was someone messing with you Leo?”, Mr. Fordyce asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCqmEJE30T
“ Um yeah you could say that although it was more so sexual harassment.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dqnweQvzt
“ What?! I want a name Leo! Who was he?!”, Mr. Fordyce shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMbDWteEN3
“ Wil Wheaton but calm down Dad! The police just took him to jail last night and I’m getting a restraining order issued against him later on today!”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMw8yNUhM3
“ Well good. I want that guy to stay away from you. I don’t want some perverted punk hurting my daughter.”, Mr. Fordyce said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWdJKcCcbs
“ Dad I’m not your only daughter to worry about. You have Amanda and Kennedy too.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6XB3Tp5m
“ I know that but you’re the youngest out of your two sisters and three brothers.”, Mr. Fordyce said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaygIHwj9L
“ Oh yes you told me that a thousand times Dad! You don’t need to repeat it!”, Leo exclaimed. It was true that she was the youngest of the 6 Fordyce children but of course she didn’t mind it sometimes. Stephen and Garrett were decent older brothers to her but they did have their immature moments at times. Junior, however, was like a wild tornado causing destruction and mayhem everywhere he went. Amanda was kind of rude with a bit of sass but she did have a soft side which she rarely showed. And Kennedy, well, she was just all out of whack.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAEb2bHHEI
“ Hey Dad I got to go now. I’ll talk to you and Mom later. Bye.”, Leo said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHVBwZq30m
“ Bye Leo.”, Mr. Fordyce said as father and daughter hung up. Sheldon just stared at her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJmZrKAUfC
“ What?!”, Leo asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrFtDKmjUP
“ What do you mean what?! You just had to tell your father what happened the night before?!”, Sheldon asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fwCtaJ2ep
“ Well he asked about it! What was I supposed to say to him?!”, Leo asked throwing her hands in the air. Sheldon went into a crazy complicated answer but Leo interrupted him by exclaiming, “ I’m not going to lie to my dad Sheldon! Shut up!” before walking away out of Penny’s apartment slamming the door behind her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp8gauPFkH
“ Smooth.”, Penny sarcastically said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0d6SVlo7Q
“ Well I wouldn’t say that Penny.”, Sheldon said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3BsTB6c5m
“ Sheldon I was being sarcastic.”, Penny said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqyUDJEbYW
“ Oh dear Lord!”, Sheldon exclaimed before running off after his new girlfriend Leo. Later that day, Leo filed for a restraining order against Wil Wheaton. She didn’t appreciate what he did to her last night and wanted to see to it that he would never do it again. He could just rot in prison for all she cared.

2 days later as Leo was working in her office she was suddenly interrupted by her friends and her boyfriend walking in on her.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMvVhjZ9fH
“ Uh, hi guys! What are you doing in my office?!”, Leo asked as she looked up from her board.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwZAdZJmxl
“ We just thought we would come by and say hi.”, Leonard said.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibpsSzv32W
“ Oh, well, hi.”, Leo said with a smile. But the second after she said that, the sounds of metallic hammering were heard coming from outside.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlV81IhzKi
“ What the hell was that?!”, Howard asked.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0kVKuDRPV
“ I don’t know Wolowitz! I’ll go look!”, Leo said as she walked over to the window and briefly peeked out.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q4STO4qLD
“ Are you freaking kidding me?!”, Leo exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUI0sKz5Bn
“ What is it Leo?!”, Sheldon exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb9XhC4tOZ
“ Look what they’re putting up in a field behind the university a few feet away!”, Leo exclaimed as she pulled back the curtain pointing outside. The guys just stared out the window and gasped at what they saw. There in a field set back a few feet from the building in all its glory was Verizon cell tower workers putting up a 100 foot tall cell tower disguised as a DNA structure.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tCry5lj1k
“ What the frick frack?!”, Howard exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZwNtlHSsE
“ Oh Lord!”, Sheldon exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MzhRMxRVi
“ This is ridiculous!”, Leo exclaimed before she threw open the window and stuck her head out shouting, “Yo jerkfaces, over here!”
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI277lvMoW
“ Who us?!”, one worker shot back as he pointed at himself.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KT8pc1TcB
“ Yes you! What do you and your little buddies think you’re doing over there?!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcRA9C3EPJ
“ What does it look like to you ma’am?! We’re putting up a cell tower here!”, the worker shouted back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBlxKAgRth
“ Ok and here’s a question, did you guys take a handful of idiot pills by any chance?!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGFBUbA2J
“ No! What are you talking about?!”, the worker shot back at Leo.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIwcQB43aP
“ This is a science university and that doesn’t belong there! That tower is way too close to this building!”, Leo shouted as she pointed at the tower.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4KHk3xeGe
“ So it’s not a big deal!”, the worker shot back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQCKXK2Mo
“ Um hello it’s a huge deal! We don’t need harmful levels of radiation penetrating through the walls of our offices here! There’s been millions of studies out there that have showed that too much radiation exposure can cause cancer! Use your head dimwit!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKVM2xvR2
“ Look miss, I don’t know who you think you are but I don’t appreciate you telling me how to do my job ok!”, the worker shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc4a96xszl
“ My name is Dr. Leo Fordyce!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tt8yTAFRs
“ Oh well excuse me for not recognizing a medical doctor!”, the worker shot back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5oWs5llUt
“ I’m a math doctor you idiot! I’m a theoretical physicist!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNTDtqU15v
“ Look can you just stop yelling at us and let us finish our job Dr. Fordyce?!”, the worker rudely shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJiVM7LJ6a
“ No! Get this tower out of here before I send my boyfriend Dr. Cooper out there to bi**h at you!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMxFnca6m1
“ Oh great, another doctor!”, the worker sarcastically exclaimed.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKXVyzY0iH
“ Excuse me but that was very offensive! You need to take that back sir!”, Sheldon shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMpNzIGQtQ
“ Yeah cut the sarcasm and get this piece of sh*t out of here!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0y2JTrSv3
“ Dr. Fordyce you need to stop harassing us or we’ll call the police on you and Dr. Cooper!”, the worker shouted at her. The two doctors gasped in shock.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo6VJFgeuT
“ Well that’s a fine how do you do!”, Sheldon shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXiFtPn19Y
“ Yeah if anything we should call the police on you idiots! You’re the ones harassing us!”, Leo shouted.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzK7XbOOwu
“ No you two are harassing us!”, the worker shot back.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwgQqGcylR
“ Really buddy?! You want to argue with two theoretical physicists?! Well you got another thing coming, Dr. Cooper and I are coming out there!”, Leo shouted out the window before shutting it.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa8TklrBUJ
“ Come on Sheldon let’s go give these idiots a piece of our minds!”, Leo exclaimed as she stormed out the door of her office.
11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNxgPjuDjq
“ Well alright.”, Sheldon said as he followed her. They walked outside to continue the fight with the cell tower worker. Eventually this argument created so much of a disturbance that President Seibert and Dr. Gablehauser sent the two of them home as well as Leonard, Howard, and Raj even though they didn’t do anything.

That’s a wrap for chapter 5! What do you think will happen in chapter 6?! Will they continue to fight this issue or will they give up entirely?! Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
