“ Aw come on Florence! Why can’t I call you that?! I’ve been calling you that for years and I already told you that it’s going to be really hard not to!”, Charlotte laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcR2AkCMAzD
“ Um didn’t I just explain it to you when we were at NASA?! I don’t want my name being associated with that crazy Progressive Home and Auto Insurance lady! It’s just weird!”, Florence interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATkUE7t557j
“ Um, well, Florence that’s her name too. You can’t really do much about it.”, Summer said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHSzcSVmUxk
“ Ugh, why did I have to have the same name as that woman?! I look nothing like her!”, Florence interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAhQoaualCX
“ Bestie it’s really not that bad. Your name is really pretty.”, Cayela said as she placed a hand on her best friend’s shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnDOQOKUktW
“ Thanks Cayela. At least I know you get me.”, Florence said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7fe8DBWTMV
“ Of course I get you! You’re my best friend!”, Cayela laughed as she playfully punched Florence in the chest.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANP6dxvIcbM
“ Ow! Oh you’re so gonna get it!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcYbfvur919
“ Oh yeah?! Well then come and get me Florence!”, Cayela laughed as she backed up and threw her hands in the air.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwxyRBZMOZ9
“ Ok you asked for it! Come here!”, Florence laughed as she started to give chase.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARyxM4RXySK
“ Oh son of a biscuit!”, Cayela laughed as she ran away. Laughter and screaming filled the air as the two girls chased each other around the lake. Charlotte, Summer and Julia joined in with them. As they were chasing each other around the lake and down the dirt trails into the woods just laughing and having fun they suddenly crossed paths with an American black bear.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANiFksLyiSm
“ Oh my god you guys it’s a bear! Run for your life!”, Cayela screamed as she sped past her friends the other way back to the campsite. Her friends screamed as well and followed her which excited the bear to the point where it started to chase them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWyagWhfuvG
“ Real smooth Cayela! Now we’re getting chased by a hungry bear that wants to eat us!”, Florence screamed as she continued to run.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzOQq8dAQgp
“ Well I panicked ok Florence! I didn’t know what else to do! I wasn’t just going to stand there and let it attack me!”, Cayela screamed as she continued running.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACr9B4gk67f
“ Well I got an idea you guys, let’s keep running and try to stay alive even though experts say you shouldn’t try to outrun a bear!”, Summer screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4AHeuCFpxZ
“ Yeah thanks for the hippie dippy tip Summer!”, Julia screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzAj8dUUF2x
“ That didn’t even make any sense Julia!”, Summer screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVoWcIJuBQc
“ Ow! My foot!”, Charlotte screamed as she suddenly twisted her foot and fell down. As she sat there the bear was still coming after them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAep3FjCjsHL
“ CHARLOTTE!”, Cayela, Florence, Summer and Julia screamed as they turned around and ran back to her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAOhyKAF88G
“ What are you doing?! There’s a bear after us!”, Florence screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbDD7k8ptF7
“ I twisted my foot and fell! I can’t move!”, Charlotte screamed as she clutched her foot.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAP0VDJAibhi
“ Oh for God sakes, here! Get on my shoulders and I’ll run with you on my shoulders!”, Florence screamed as she lifted her friend up onto her shoulders and started running as fast as she could with the other girls following. Once they made it out of the woods the bear was still chasing them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABbK4ih600l
“ Yo yo yo! What are you girls screaming about?!”, Mrs. Ratley shouted when she suddenly saw her 14 year old daughter running back to the campsite with her friends in a panic.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA54U3Agqvmb
“ There’s a bear coming at us!”, Cayela and Julia screamed as they high-tailed it into the camper with Florence, Charlotte and Summer following. They slammed the door shut after they got inside.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqdBj6lR0Zp
“ Oh thank God we made it!”, Florence exclaimed as she dumped Charlotte off her shoulders causing her to crash to the floor.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyRTTieY1M5
“ Ow! Hey what gives Crenshamezki?!”, Charlotte shrieked as she sat there staring up at her friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAE6dkri9tKd
“ Oh you’re fine Charlotte.”, Florence said as she flapped her hand at her before she walked over to the fridge and opened it.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6u88qHI6o5
“ No I’m not! That hurt just like my foot! You could have broken my coccyx by dumping me like that!”, Charlotte interjected as she tried to get up but was finding it hard to stand on her sprained foot.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALT6MtKFX8w
“ Oh please, I didn’t dump you that hard!”, Florence said as she shook her head and grabbed a can of Diet Coke out of the fridge. When she took a sip she immediately spit it out which sprayed Cayela in the face by accident. Florence started to smirk when she realized what she did. Summer, Charlotte and Julia did the same.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOal7cx2I8z
“ Thanks for spitting your Diet Coke into my face Florence!”, Cayela sarcastically said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5fPcqmSDyY
“ Well it’s not my fault it was flat! Give me a break!”, Florence laughed as she dumped the soda out into the sink. The girls started laughing as the adults were trying to get rid of the bear that was still outside.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUe6hPLEpBB
“ Yo would y’all shut up in there! You’re gonna end up waking up your baby sister Zakiya and your other younger siblings Brennan, Chaz, Tyler, Amina, Alessandra, Vicky, Monica and Jackie!”, Mr. Ratley shouted from outside.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPcrlYbPMCd
“ Sorry Dad!”, Julia called back before she shut her mouth. Her friends did the same.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWjE6TSmZ4z
“ Wait what?!”, Summer exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMW2t6DxVOt
“ How many siblings do you have Julia?”, Charlotte asked after she wrapped her foot up with a few bandages.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjwrnKQcx41
“ I have 4 brothers and 7 sisters, so that’s 11 siblings.”, Julia said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALCFPgS8iOh
“ Wow, that’s a lot! I thought you only had two!”, Cayela exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdHmBRgfnm5
“ Yeah well what are you gonna do?”, Julia said. Later that evening after the bear was long gone Sheldon was heading toward the camper when he was suddenly caught by his wife Leo.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALvhOxKVhin
“ Sheldon where are you going?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAo1cCPCI8XJ
“ I’m going inside for a moment to give Cayela a bath Leo. She hasn’t had one yet today and I’m pretty sure we don’t want her going to bed tonight all dirty from Mother Nature’s elements.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPlrWbWQwXy
“ Yes that’s true. Alright, let me know if you need any help in there for some reason or not.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAi9i7oFzqTg
“ Oh I shall.”, Sheldon said with a smile as he headed inside. The scene he was met with was all the rest of the Ratley children scattered around doing their own activities and his daughter and her friends sprawled out on the floor around the tv watching an episode of Henry Danger. The episode they were watching was The Rock Box Dump.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAocFCcKYq7o
“ Ow ow ow! Cheese and rice!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiuakt89Xgk
“ Oh Jasper Dunlop you’re such an idiot!”, Cayela laughed with her friends after they saw the scene with the video of Jasper dumping a box of rocks on his head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwH2e3qBP6l
“ This is so dumb! Why would anybody dump a box of rocks on their head?! This makes no sense!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAThe5SZLmbx
“ Yeah you’re right Florence! Unless you’re a fool, then it would make sense!”, Charlotte laughed as she sat there with her back against the base of the couch and her bandaged foot propped up on a pillow.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7cNgEuiUxg
“ Yeah I would totally agree with that! What about you Julia?!”, Summer laughed as she twirled a strand of her hair around her finger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAz1P2IKyKyX
“ Me too! This is hilarious!”, Julia laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1GTP1st3IQ
“ It almost makes you wonder what that would feel like!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqRZSQ15EKu
“ Well if you’re curious about it Cayela then why don’t you do it!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxzaMvdA2yk
“ Ok!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAt8lXfys4eR
“ Oh no no no no, you’re not doing that!”, Sheldon scolded when he overheard what his daughter was talking about.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAU3TqhED1bZ
“ Dad we were joking! We’re not actually going to dump a box of rocks on our heads! That would hurt!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6t1KXK12fy
“ It most certainly would! Not to mention it would give you brain damage or possibly kill you! Your mother and I don’t want that! We love you too much to lose you over something that stupid!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7ocQGYksIq
“ Dad, why are you in here?! We’re watching tv!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8GnroWraQz
“ I came in here to tell you it’s bath time.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfh9EdHGHEd
“ Aww come on, not now! We’re in the middle of watching Henry Danger!”, Cayela protested.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZBxhUa7QZZ
“ You can get back to it in just a minute. Let’s go.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWMhIQukz7j
“ Fine. I’ll be right back you guys.”, Cayela said with a defeated sigh and followed her father to the bathroom. Meanwhile outside Leonard had something on his mind as he was staring at Dakota. She was sitting around the fire pit next to Amy holding a glass of wine in her hand. As the two of them were talking to each other Leonard decided that he couldn’t wait a second longer. He stood up and walked over to her with his heart feeling like it was going to beat right out of his chest.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARWIiVGU62Y
‘ It’s now or never Hofstadter! Do it!’, Leonard thought in his head as he approached his girlfriend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPbMIl0y2Ib
“ Hey Dakota.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAu89sHtRf3O
“ Oh hi Leonard. What’s up?”, Dakota said as she turned her head to look at her boyfriend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABId88MTNHN
“ Do you want to go for a walk with me for a moment? There’s something I want to tell you.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3T1eU1qUyV
“ Sure. We’ll be right back you guys.”, Dakota said as she stood up and set her wine glass down. Everyone nodded their heads before the two of them walked off together holding hands with each other. They walked down to the lake as the sun began to set.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHQFYt4kkw9
“ It’s so pretty out here.”, Dakota said as she looked out over the water.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArkZNh7TRlC
“ Yeah, it really is.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAl5mgQqHIjt
“ So what’s the reason for this walk?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdHhDAWVK5A
“ I got something on my mind and I can’t wait any longer.”, Leonard said with a sigh. He gently took her hands into his, gazed into her eyes and said, “ I’m just going to come right out and say it, you are truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you so much and there’s no other woman I’d rather be with than you for the rest of my life. Which is why I brought you out here so I could ask you a very important question.”, Leonard said as he let go of her hands, got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. Dakota gasped in complete shock.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMYmS7dOMUw
“ Dakota Chantel ‘ Skullbreaker’ Harris, will you marry me?”, Leonard asked with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADY6AwUKxKF
“ Oh my God! Yes!”, Dakota exclaimed as she cried tears of joy. Leonard slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her. He was so happy that Dakota said that she would be his wife.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbIsufvLZWb
“ I got to call my family!”, Dakota happily cried as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed her parents’ home phone number. Leonard nodded his head as he continued smiling from ear to ear.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdeHeO3Ds3j
“ Hello?”, Eamon answered.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAzULuy4tyQ
“ Eamon where are Johnathan, Mom and Dad?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFCsMhGmKDv
“ Uh, Johnathan’s watching tv and Mom and Dad are in the kitchen Dakota. What’s up? You seem happy.”, Eamon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARVSp3h6PER
“ I am! Go get them now! I have something to tell all of you!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATxkMD4OU9v
“ Ok sis. Be right back.”, Eamon said before he put the phone down for a brief moment. After what seemed like an eternity he finally came back and said, “ Ok we’re all here. What do you got to say sis?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZkdQtEGP4
“ I got some really great news to share with you!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWoAvnyjjrI
“ Well don’t keep us in suspense, what is it?”, Johnathan asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgSS9XSvigq
“ Leonard and I just got engaged! We’re getting married!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQuHiGyZ1sh
“ What?! Are you serious?!”, Eamon and Johnathan exclaimed in complete shock. They could hardly believe what their sister just said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABf53LlGWzR
“ Oh honey that’s wonderful!”, Mrs. Harris exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rv3SdxZbd
“ I knew it! It’s about freaking damn time! That’s great Dakota!”, Mr. Harris exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxFl9A2uEwT
“ Oh Dad shut up! Thank you! This just totally surprised me!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Zd7gLhbW
“ Not so much here!”, Mr. Harris exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjb6Cbvg5ac
“ Did you already know about this Dad?!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEHqfdmyNtn
“ Yeah Leonard asked me weeks ago after he told your friends Howard and Raj.”, Mr. Harris said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAl4fsqaBKh1
“ Oh my God, Howard and Raj know?!”, Dakota exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPL4ksE2SMQ
“ So what did she say Leonard?!”, Howard suddenly exclaimed as he stepped out of the bushes with Raj. They were both wearing their camo paintball uniforms.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVKftTbb6lc
“ Give us the details dude!”, Raj exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFGjlSJM2HR
“ She said yes you guys! I’m getting married!”, Leonard exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8bMKE9Qbsx
“ Leonard you dawg you! Congratulations buddy!”, Howard exclaimed as he slapped a hand on his friend’s shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxByUoTYeVC
“ Yeah! Hashtag Lakota Forever!”, Raj exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxJxYoqAfHW
“ Lakota?!”, Leonard, Dakota and Howard exclaimed as the stared at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJKIX8n6gt1
“ Yeah, for Leonard and Dakota! Get it?! Lakota?!”, Raj exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiCJjXvj2t1
“ Oh yeah, we get it now!”, the three of them exclaimed. Dakota finished up talking to her family on the phone before they all headed back to the campsite.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaUZ9f4kk0O
“ Alright break out the celebration people! Leonard and Dakota just got engaged!”, Howard exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApscci2LXKN
“ What?!”, everyone exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOyxcxvjUVd
“ I’m getting married you guys!”, Dakota exclaimed as she showed off her engagement ring with a huge smile on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4irkdcHLP0
“ Felicidades!”, Kemdan exclaimed as he threw his hands up in the air while the other women screamed with excitement and threw their arms around Dakota. Everybody else started congratulating them on their engagement while Cayela exclaimed, “ Yay for Auntie Dakota and Uncle Leonard!” The celebration kicked off with the adults dancing around the fire pit to Timber by Pitbull feat. Ke$ha. After partying for a couple hours everyone went to bed with smiles on their faces including Dakota who had the biggest smile on her face in American history as she was wrapped up in Leonard’s arms who was now her fiance. She had never been this happy in her entire life and she wished so badly that her sister was still there to share the moment with her. It had been several months since Makenzie passed away and even though it seemed that life had gotten back to normal things still didn’t feel the same for Dakota. She still really missed her sister very much and everything she did still reminded her of the things they used to do together. It was like she couldn’t stop thinking of the fact that she was never going to see or hear from her sister ever again and the thought of it still haunted her as she was trying so hard to move on with her life. She sometimes began to think that her thoughts were affecting her relationship with Leonard but he still stood by her. He cared about and loved her so much that he couldn’t even think about walking away, especially during a time that she needed him the most. She was the most wonderful, beautiful woman he’s ever met next to Penny and felt like he was the luckiest man on Earth, like he won the lottery. The part that made Leonard angry was how Dakota’s ex-boyfriend Rico treated her when they were together. He still couldn’t understand why any man would want to hurt Dakota the way Rico did. If given the choice to he would have killed Rico a long time ago using the same bat that Rico used to batter Dakota’s body with. The thought of that still haunted him and wished that the motorcycle junkie would just drop off the face of the Earth especially after he hit Cayela too. It really made him upset that his goddaughter was now involved in this mess and secretly swore to himself that if Rico ever tried to do anything like that ever again he would punch him in the face so hard that his face would be permanently deformed for the rest of his life. In the middle of the night as everyone was sleeping Cayela started making sounds as she tossed and turned in the bed. Sheldon heard this, got up without waking up his wife, grabbed the diaper bag and headed to the other bedroom where his daughter was sleeping. After he changed her diaper he headed back to bed. Then the next day while Sabrina Ratley took the rest of her younger sisters to the nearby playground to play and Mark was in the camper playing video games, Chaz, Tyler, Trevor and Cole were kicking a ball around in a gravel pit next to the camper and the girls were sitting around the picnic table while the adults sat around the fire pit talking to each other.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASbzIC4fn2W
“ Yo Trev, go long!”, Chaz interjected as he bounced the ball back and forth on his knees like a soccer ball.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAi7PBCHd0Ry
“ You got it Chaz!”, Trevor interjected as he sprinted very fast away from the gravel pit. When he got to about 8 or 9 feet away he interjected, “ Alright kick it to me!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANATBgUPnr5nx
“ Yo heads up! Here it comes!”, Chaz interjected as he delivered a powerful kick to the ball sending it flying through the air but instead of it going toward Trevor it accidentally hit Cayela in the head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGjthukQ8JJ
“ Ow! Chaz watch where you’re kicking that ball! You hit me in the head and almost gave me a concussion!”, Cayela interjected as she shot up from the table.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPKljQ4ks51
“ Oh sorry Cayela I meant to kick it at Trevor!”, Chaz said as he walked over to retrieve the ball.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHDaQY8SHoR
“ I’m so bored you guys!”, Cayela said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQvzSvDsxvw
“ We’re right there with you bestie!”, Florence said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2e32Ew087F
“ What do you guys want to do?”, Charlotte asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0lrK3kXT4s
“ We don’t know Charlotte.”, Cayela, Florence, Summer and Julia said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAT6My4ZW8rb
“ Well I have a suggestion. Why don’t you girls come with Sheldon and I up to the store for a few minutes. We need to get a few things.”, Leo said when she walked up to them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcNbqqb0Ft0
“ Ok.”, Florence, Charlotte, Summer and Julia said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARwXXAW6Mp0
“ Wait, there’s a store near this campground Mom?”, Cayela asked as she stared at her mother.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsOWiCtmVgK
“ Yes Cayela there’s a huge quick mart just a few blocks from here.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAWBBr03EQO
“ What do we need to get there Mom?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUrTzEg2Rhv
“ We need to pick up a few things for dinner tonight.”, Leo said as she grabbed her purse.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALCzKwepdZ6
“ We should also pick up some more packages of diapers too because we are really running low.”, Sheldon said as he handed his wife the diaper bag.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVGOyppXtop
“ Oh my god I didn’t even realize that! That would be really bad wouldn’t it Sheldon?!”, Leo exclaimed when she looked into the bag and noticed that there were only 3 diapers left in there before she slipped it over her shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8IQVSDCMbE
“ Indeed it would Leo.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACsLjFR2rmR
“ Anyone else need anything while we’re out?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAckUk69RWht
“ What are you picking up?”, Amy asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhr8pHwGDuD
“ Well we’re picking up a few things for dinner tonight and some more diapers for Cayela because Sheldon just said we’re running low. So is there anything you need Amy?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARs52WnXVaS
“ No I’m good but Penny might need another bottle of wine.”, Amy said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsIAC0sjBv3
“ Typical Penny, as if she’s not already drunk enough as it is!”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKAX5h9EIOv
“ Excuse me but what the hell does that even mean Sheldon?!”, Penny hissed with a little bit of slurred speech indicating that she was a little bit drunk from having an entire wine bottle already.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzmWQW1pACP
“ Penny, I do not wish to discuss this with you while you are significantly inebriated at this time and another thing, what have I told you about saying curse words in front of my daughter?! I told you to stop saying them unless you want to get banished from the apartment then by all means say whatever you want.”, Sheldon scolded as he narrowed his eyes at his friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJrC7FLSpdd
“ Oh no you don’t! You’re not just going to do that to me again Sheldon Lee Cooper! You already did that to me once when I touched your food and sat in your spot on the couch resulting in a prank war between us! Don’t you remember me using all the machines in the laundry room and then you stole my clothes and hung them on a telephone wire?!”, Penny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfXYV2jkruD
“ Of course I do because I have an eidetic memory! And that’s Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper to you!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJVrYmJKKXW
“ Wait, what? When was this?”, Leo asked as she stared at her husband with a smirky smile on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1aTMsSWhhB
“ This was way before I even met you Leo, got married and had Cayela.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAw6vWAvad5N
“ You are so strange Sheldon!”, Leo laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqkjBEyRIAp
“ If you say so Leo.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlYsnlDwaG2
“ Let’s just go to the store.”, Leo said as she headed to her car. Sheldon, Cayela and the other girls followed. When they got to the store Cayela wanted to ride in the shopping cart.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9saGeYtOcn
“ Cayela no, you’re not going to ride in the shopping cart. You’re too big for that and shopping carts aren’t meant to be sat in anyway.”, Leo said as she was pushing the cart up and down the aisles.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9v2NHiavF6
“ Aw come on! Why?!”, Cayela protested.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8tAmvtiACR
“ Because you’re perfectly capable of walking around the store with your friends. Now drop the subject of it please.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgq8LIGlQ5J
“ Fine Dad. Whatever.”, Cayela mumbled under her breath as she was walking alongside the cart with Florence, Charlotte, Summer and Julia following.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgwxLlNieEC
“ Excuse me, but, do not do that please! I don’t appreciate the attitude and neither does your mother!”, Sheldon scolded his daughter.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwWwiKDinJE
“ Yes exactly! One more outburst like that and you’ll be going to take a nap when we get back to the campground!”, Leo scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAF5WxBicgmK
“ Ok. Sorry Mom, sorry Dad.”, Cayela apologetically said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bplk5Blgz
“ Thank you. That’s much better.”, Leo said. Then she took her list out and said, “ Ok so the first item on here is ground beef, now where’s that at? Oh here it is, but, do we want regular or organic?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKcrCeh48LV
“ Get the organic ground beef Leo because it doesn’t have all those harmful chemicals in it.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUy8V3Lda5o
“ You’re right Sheldon. Into the cart it goes.”, Leo said as she picked up a few organic ground beef packages and threw them into the cart. Then she picked up some organic hotdogs and threw them into the cart as well along with hamburger and hotdog buns, a few bags of chips and some beverages as well as a few more bottles of wine and a couple cases of beer.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABoqyyZwGHj
“ Ok where’s the diaper aisle? Oh here it is and aw look! Here’s the goldfish ones that we always get and these ones have cute little kittens on them!”, Leo exclaimed with a smile on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaALxOF1rjl
“ Ok I admit that’s really cute.” , Sheldon said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeq8m2OMDdY
“ Should we get both of them?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAiOi83IPGI
“ I don’t see why not.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMrjyT1Rspe
“ Ok into the cart they go.”, Leo said as she grabbed both packages of diapers and tossed them into the cart.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARhbmTB5xHJ
“ We should also pick up more of these swimmer ones too because I think we’re also running low on those.”, Sheldon said as he grabbed a couple packages of swim diapers and threw them into the cart as well.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZKE0EcdFh2
“ Alright moving right along.”, Leo said as she continued pushing the cart. Cayela was rocking on her heels and shaking her head everywhere as her and her friends were walking together behind Leo and Sheldon.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABDza80bVxh
“ Cayela what are you doing?!”, Florence laughed as she stared at her best friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAN7s9nTK0SG
“ I have no idea Florence!”, Cayela laughed as she continued shaking her head around.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACmknXtbalj
“ You’re such a nerd!”, Charlotte jokingly laughed as she playfully smacked her hand upside her friend’s head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7OLl45hxtz
“ Ow! Don’t do that Charlotte! You want me to do that to you?!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKWstYifJM2
“ No! You’re crazy!”, Charlotte laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8lPJJmfCrc
“ No you’re crazy Charlotte!”, Summer laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjao3BAfmCi
“ Um, yo actually I think we’re all crazy!”, Julia laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3lXSjt0ZX5
“ Even me Julia?!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwPWJ5IzGVa
“ Yeah Florence!”, Julia laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAl5CeJWefWf
“ Thanks for being such a terrible friend Julia!”, Florence sarcastically laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVNkLb4I80F
“ You’re being sarcastic!”, Julia laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABTzje7MPEp
“ Shut it Ratley!”, Florence laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMrvvRIO3ud
“ Ok can we move it along please. We still need to grab a few more items.”, Sheldon scolded. They continued walking until Cayela suddenly stopped in the middle of the aisle. Her diaper suddenly felt warm and wet as she stood there biting her lower lip.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYz4seunPKx
“ Cayela did you just go to the bathroom?”, Leo asked as she turned around. Cayela just said nothing and nodded her head.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtn3rFKFrLQ
“ Sheldon take the cart for a second and stay here with Florence, Charlotte, Summer and Julia. I need to take Cayela to the bathroom.”, Leo said as she passed the cart full of items to her husband.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ANJvQe9X
“ Well alright.”, Sheldon said. Leo walked away with Cayela following her. She didn’t know which way the bathroom was so she asked a female store employee.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAerVjQ184AI
“ Excuse me ma’am, where is there a bathroom in this place? My daughter wet herself and I need to change her diaper.”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABvcivzQGQL
“ Oh it’s at the very back of the store to your left. We have an adult sized change table in there if you would like to use that instead of the floor. We get a lot of people coming in with similar needs all the time.”, the female employee said with a smile as she pointed toward the back of the store.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvlhAIyHDbH
“ Oh really?! That’s really convenient! Thank you so much for that information, I will definitely be using it!”, Leo exclaimed in shock.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvmVfKSbpD6
“ Anytime.”, the employee said before she walked away. Leo and Cayela walked to the back of the store and turned to the left. They walked into the women’s restroom and were relieved to find that they were the only ones in there. Leo’s eyes scanned around to find the table that the employee mentioned. There was a baby one right next to it but that didn’t matter. She set the bag down and pulled out the pad, laying it down on the table.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA15VNNIFE7E
“ Ok sweetheart now I know that this might seem a little weird to you but we’re going to use this table instead of the floor.”, Leo said as she picked Cayela up and laid her down on it.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAizhUR3TZrl
“ Is Dad out there with my friends?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALfFZLoXlMj
“ Yes he is honey. Now just lay still for a moment.”, Leo said as she slipped on some latex gloves and started unbuttoning her daughter’s shorts. After wiping her clean and everything else was applied she wrapped a fresh clean diaper around her lower abdomen before slipping her shorts back on. Cayela sighed in comfort as she sat up and hugged her mother. She was beginning to get sleepy.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOuWeuuBdFg
“ Are you ok Cayela?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPBf6uhIawf
“ Yeah I’m fine Mom.”, Cayela softly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAkAfe8e28o
“ Are you tired? Do you want to go take a nap when we get back?”, Leo asked. Cayela nodded her head as her mother cleaned up the mess and carried her out of the bathroom. They all finished the rest of their shopping and headed back to the campsite. While Cayela was taking a nap something bizarre ended up happening. Meghan and Micayla suddenly came sprinting out of the woods back to the campsite freaking out about what they saw when they were hiking down the trail.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMTox4NYDPK
“ Oh my god Micayla! I can not believe we just seen that!”, Meghan screamed as shock, panic and anxiety rose within her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAScTsRc3gnK
“ Yeah I can’t believe it either Meghan!”, Micayla screamed as she agreed with her twin sister.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA60I5AFNgcy
“ Woah girls what’s going on here?!”, Mrs. Langenstein asked with a bit of concern and worry in her voice.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAj1bzN63xxA
“ Oh Mom it was horrible! It was the most horrible thing we could have even imagined seeing!”, Meghan screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMUP7ggVxSI
“ Which is what?! What did you see?!”, Mr. Langenstein asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhiv7p6YJ0z
“ We… we think we just seen a murder scene!”, Micayla screamed as she gasped for air. Her sister did the same thing.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7eNCxSwD8G
“ WHAT?!”, everyone exclaimed in complete shock.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAG8GRZIXLAh
“ You girls saw a dead body?!”, Mr. Langenstein exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASPanLqwKI8
“ YES!”, Meghan and Micayla screamed at the same time.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiHuDP38uol
“ We were just walking along the trail minding our own business when all of a sudden Meghan pointed out and screamed, “ Oh my god there’s a dead guy in the ravine!” He was about 3 or 4 feet down off the side of the trail, caucasian with dirty blonde hair and he looked like he was about 6 foot 4 and in his mid-20s!”, Micayla screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAL6EDvSoSEt
“ You girls didn’t touch anything at that scene did you?!”, Mrs. Langenstein asked as she held her breath.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6IgYfUmY0w
“ No of course not Mom! It would make us look like we did it!”, Meghan screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA18vuXfx7xt
“ Did you take a picture of it though?”, Howard asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhCaJAIYiK0
“ Yeah, I took a picture of it after Meghan told me to! Here it is!”, Micayla screamed as she took her phone out with shaking hands and showed off the picture of the horrible murder site that her and her twin sister had just seen. Everyone gasped including their parents.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2NXNdzd6UL
“ Oh girls, this is horrible!”, Mrs. Langenstein gasped.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADraEZiYIKA
“ What kind of sicko would do that?!”, Penny shrieked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlI5Urrpryb
“ An insane sicko Penny, that’s who.”, Bernadette said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeqzM9IVIpd
“ Oh balls!”, Penny interjected as she rolled her eyes. The Langensteins then drove to the park ranger’s station to report the murder scene. Shortly after that a forensics team arrived to investigate the scene. The rest of the trip then carried on without incident. Then a week and a half later after they got home the girls were just getting out of school for the day when their parents suddenly told them that they would be running a little late. So as the girls were hanging around outside waiting for their parents to pick them up Cayela suddenly spotted something moving in the bushes just a few feet away. She looked closer and saw that it was a little black kitten with a little white tuft of fur on its chest. It was very obvious that it was scavenging around for food and water.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABWugbXOwHd
“ Oh my god you guys look! It’s a kitten!”, Cayela exclaimed as she pointed toward the bushes.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGG4gAxMtIX
“ Aww!”, Florence, Charlotte, Summer and Julia exclaimed. The girls started softly calling out to the kitten in the hopes that it would come toward them. The kitten was hesitant at first but slowly walked toward them with its tail up, meowing softly in the cutest little way. Cayela gently picked it up and as she held it in her arms it nuzzled her face purring happily. Not long after that is when Leo and Sheldon showed up to pick up Cayela. The girls walked over to the car to show them their little discovery.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaf0M5kKaIB
“ Mom, Dad, look at this little kitten we found! Isn’t it cute?!”, Cayela exclaimed as she held up her new furry little friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJvTAN3IEC1
“ Oh my god, hi sweet baby. You’re so precious.”, Leo cooed as she gently took the kitten from her daughter’s arms.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjaVWCWQjIM
“ Where did you girls find this kitten Cayela?”, Sheldon asked as he gently stroked the kitten’s back with his finger.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7vi6xV7XYJ
“ We found it over there in the bushes!”, Cayela exclaimed as she pointed in the direction of the bushes. After the other girls got picked up Leo, Sheldon and Cayela immediately took the kitten to the vet to get it examined and to see if it had a microchip. While they were waiting in another room Cayela asked, “ Oh my god that kitten is so cute! Can we keep it?!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4cQTFYsUsb
“ Well, I’m not saying no and I’m not saying yes either yet. Let’s just wait to see what the vet says.”, Sheldon said. The vet called them into a room where he examined the kitten and scanned for a microchip. Surprisingly it was in pretty good health and didn’t have a microchip or a collar which meant it was a stray but despite that it seemed pretty friendly. Upon hearing this Cayela begged her parents to let her keep it. Leo and Sheldon stepped aside with each other to talk. After a few moments they came back to their daughter with a decision.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVNm4XEBM5j
“ Alright Cayela your mother and I talked this over and we came to a decision. Yes you can keep the kitten.”, Sheldon said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdWbVNJxmwX
“ Really?!”, Cayela exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7IaxYOYndx
“ Yes but only on the condition that you help take care of it. That means giving it food and water everyday and cleaning the litter box.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANMKDhmv3fv
“ Thank you so much Mom and Dad! I love you!”, Cayela exclaimed as she hugged her parents.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeSqZOIdOcq
“ We love you too Cayela.”, Leo and Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdwgT0wbPfs
“ What’s the gender of it?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATUUgVLk4Ql
“ Well based on my assessment, I believe this is a little female.”, the vet said. Then he asked, “ Would you like us to microchip her just in case if she ever gets lost?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANApD7GLsdZ6l
“ Yes please.”, Leo said. Sheldon wrote down their address and other important stuff before he handed it to the vet.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAk8dyzdJjag
“ Alright I shall be back in a moment with her.”, the vet said as he took the info and the kitten to another room. A short time later he came back with the kitten in a little crate and she resting comfortably on a soft pad in there.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgEDNcPcO6O
“ Alright she’s all yours.”, the vet said as he handed Cayela the crate.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPy9SSqC5kg
“ Thank you.”, Cayela said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApSXIogKOvE
“ Do you have an idea of what you’re going to name her?”, the vet asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZjNlbwBzNh
“ I think she looks like an Oreo.”, Cayela said as she picked up her new pet out of the crate.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlPcsmeyVKH
“ Oreo?”, Leo asked with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZP7zQC1gfy
“ Yeah. Oreo Fordyce-Cooper.”, Cayela said. Oreo meowed in response.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUvkkLJt74j
“ I think she likes that name.”, Sheldon said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiMLArYO4wH
“ I think so too.”, Cayela said. Then she asked, “ How old do you think she is?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoEAuB2LlH7
“ I’d say about 8 or 9 weeks old.”, the vet said. Cayela took her phone out and took a picture of herself holding Oreo before sending it to her friends.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAszBL2JHYDT
C: Hey you guys, meet Oreo! She’s now the newest member of my family! :)
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQfL2WNEaB3
F: Omg! No way! Your parents are letting you keep her?! That’s great bestie! I so love the name you gave her too! :)
7Please respect copyright.PENANABBpdn7RcbF
Ch: She’s so cute! Love the name! :)
7Please respect copyright.PENANAz847MqDfMf
S: Me too! So cute! :)
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAteIbLrS8d
J: Welcome Oreo! :)
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlwd0fchDsa
“ Alright well let’s get her home so that I can go back out and buy some cat stuff for her.”, Leo said. Cayela put Oreo back in her crate and the three of them left the animal hospital. When they got home Leonard was sitting at his desk working on his laptop.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYP79VbJfl4
“ What took you guys so long? I thought you were just going to pick up Cayela from school.”, Leonard said when he looked up from his laptop.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAX1a69iLU2s
“ We were but we ended up picking up a new little friend as well.”, Leo said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASqZbMt67B3
“ New little friend?”, Leonard asked in confusion.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXrBemuFatM
“ Meow!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANASgh7D87RqF
“ Did I just hear a kitten?!”, Leonard asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArMQsY6PPFN
“ Yeah Uncle Leonard! Meet Oreo! She’s our new family pet!”, Cayela exclaimed as she picked up Oreo out of her crate.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAn4C3LRVSRJ
“ Aww, she’s cute! Where did you find her Cayela?”, Leonard asked with a smile as he gently brushed his hand against Oreo’s back. She arched her back as she started purring.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuY0xBinLXa
“ My friends and I found her wandering in the bushes outside the school. We just took her to the vet and found out that she’s a stray but surprisingly she’s in really good health.”, Cayela said as she was petting Oreo.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKqruZHK9Pg
“ Why don’t you put her down on the floor so that she can explore the apartment Cayela.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAm2RAptUaFF
“ Ok. Check out your new home Oreo.”, Cayela said as she gently set Oreo down on the floor. Oreo started walking around sniffing everything and immediately started rubbing her scent all over every piece of furniture in the living room. She was meowing happily as she was darting everywhere, around the living room under the desks, the chairs, the couch and making her way into the kitchen, Cayela’s bedroom, Sheldon’s and Leo’s bedroom, Leonard’s bedroom and she even made it into the bathroom where she tried to jump up on the rim of the bathtub as if she wanted to explore the bathtub as well. While Cayela was chasing her new pet around Leo went back out to get some stuff for Oreo. She came back moments later with a ton of stuff. She bought food and water bowls, Meow Mix cat food, a few bags of cat treats, several cat toys, a few litter boxes and Fresh Step litter to go with them, a comfy bed for Oreo to sleep on, tunnels, scratching posts, and a huge cat tree.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARU5RjWQVJ8
“ Good Lord woman! You bought all of this stuff for Oreo?!”, Sheldon exclaimed when he saw all the items his wife was dragging into the apartment.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAS5UpWma0eE
“ Yes Sheldon I bought the whole 9 yards! You and I both said we were keeping her so this is what we got!”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdcxfLjm3ZU
“ We need to figure out where we’re putting the litter boxes Leo.”, Sheldon said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWyHXsmb9Dg
“ I’m thinking we can put them under the window here next to the tv.”, Leo said as she pointed at the window next to the tv.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsicvgE7DMm
“ Alright.”, Sheldon said as he carried the litter boxes over to the window.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHt2wOPeJNy
“ Here, put this mat down first before you put the litter boxes on top of it. It’s a special mat that I bought to hopefully prevent Oreo from tracking litter all over the apartment.”, Leo said as she handed her husband the mat she pulled out of one of the bags. Sheldon placed the mat down under the window before he placed the litter boxes on it and poured in the litter. The two of them set up the cat tree in front of the other window while Leonard set up the food and water bowls and put everyting else away. Oreo immediately ran to her food and water and started eating and drinking from them. Then later that night Oreo was sleeping comfotably on her new comfy bed that Cayela put on her bed next to her pillow. The vibrations of Oreo’s purring while she slept made Cayela smile as she gently stroked her and gave her a kiss. She was so happy that she now had a new furry little feline companion to play with. True to her promise that she made to her mother she helped out with giving Oreo food, water and made sure to scoop the litter boxes. Despite Oreo being a stray she seemed to be pretty happy with her new life. She loved batting around her new toys, pouncing on Cayela’s feet and exploring her cat tree. She even had a collar on her neck with a heart-shaped nametag and a little bell that rang with every step she took. When Cayela’s friends came over the girls were hanging out in Cayela’s room with Oreo just climbing all over them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfqd8T8JV9e
“ Ok dude this is so cool that you got to keep Oreo! She’s so cute!”, Florence said as she was running her hand over Oreo’s back.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnnxvqfGKRi
“ I know, right! I absolutely love her Florence! I just know she’s going to have a so much better life living with me than on the streets of Pasadena.”, Cayela said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwy4LOqvl9v
“ That’s so true! I mean, who wouldn’t want this cute, little ball of fluff living with them!”, Charlotte said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvvyecWsFXt
“ Probably idiots I’d say!”, Summer laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAf8b8RT7ldu
“ Yo you couldn’t be any more right Summer!”, Julia laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAeC3O0cFZG8
“ Oh shut up Julia!”, Summer laughed. As the girls continued talking, laughing and listening to music this was suddenly interrupted by Leo. Her facial expression was blank as she solumnly said, “ Charlotte, can I talk to you for a second in private? This is really important.” as her voice started to shake a little.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnoB2KyoVV0
“ Oh, sure Dr. Fordyce-Cooper. I’ll be right back you guys.”, Charlotte said before she followed Leo out of the room. She followed Leo into the bathroom and Leo shut the door.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAvVni1herez
“ What is it?”, Charlotte asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5QflvVKIDF
“ Sit down on the edge of the tub for a second.”, Leo solumnly said. Charlotte did so and asked, “ Ok now what?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdTj9Z6R0Nl
“ Ok, you’re probably not going to believe me when I tell you this, but, I just got off the phone with your mom who just told me some really sad news.”, Leo sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALkIMN1KRpF
“ Is there something wrong with somebody in my family?”, Charlotte asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAD5U6JHYhM9
“ No your family’s fine. It has something to do with your family’s friend Shelby Morrison.”, Leo sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKncPFsUKkx
“ What about Shelby? What’s going on?”, Charlotte asked in a serious tone.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1IdITgqHVF
“ I don’t know how to tell you this, but, there was a freak accident at Shelby’s work place and she got injured but she… died on the way to the hospital.”, Leo sadly said as a tear started to slide down her cheek. Charlotte just sat there like a deer caught in headlights completely shocked by what her friend’s mother just said to her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXmz1CmPlH6
“ Oh my god!”, Charlotte sadly said as she buried her face into her hands and started crying. She couldn’t believe what was happening. Shelby was one of her favorite people in the entire world and she just couldn’t believe that she was gone.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATB512b8VYj
“ I’m so sorry sweetheart!”, Leo cried as she hugged her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgoBKCg3JDI
“ I can’t believe this! This can’t be real! Shelby was one of my favorite people to talk to! How did this happen?!”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAE5waCg34PJ
“ She was working with a meat grinder when I guess the blade slipped off the axle and punctured her Aorta artery. They tried to get the bleeding to stop on the way to the hospital but I guess she lost so much blood that her heart stopped and they couldn’t revive her in time.”, Leo sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABwULJuTUoO
“ This is horrible! I can’t believe I’m never going to see or talk to her again! Her and I were so close to each other! We had such a great bond together that it made Cole jealous whenever me and her talked to each other! And she was so young too, she was only 23 years old and was about to turn 24 next month! This just doesn’t seem fair or real!”, Charlotte cried. She then walked back into Cayela’s room and slumped down on the floor.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjJQiIttCng
“ Hi you guys.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATb2kryO653
“ Is everything ok Charlotte? What’s wrong?”, Florence asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVaiIdyjgKq
“ I… I just lost a really great family friend due to a freak work accident.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALOcGiNltlJ
“ What?!”, Cayela, Florence, Summer and Julia exclaimed in shock.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAppRHbW0Twx
“ Is that what my mom told you?!”, Cayela exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABJISy2wt1A
“ Yeah Cayela. She just got off the phone with my mom who told her that and apparently she told your mom to tell me.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4sP83UOtMn
“ Well who died?”, Summer sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABGk4rakYh6
“ Our family friend Shelby Morrison. She was 23 years old about to turn 24 next month.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1TMtTlRub6
“ Oh that’s terrible Char!”, Julia exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAv17DXJgaxA
“ Yeah I know! Her and I were so close! She was like the sister I never had! It always made my brother jealous whenever she came over to our house to hang out with me! It was like I could talk to her about anything that was on my mind and she would totally get it! She was such a really great, fun person to be around! I really wish you guys could have met her!”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAC896fkI8Ks
“ Well what exactly happened to her at work?”, Florence sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPgF9yYtJap
“ She was working with a meat grinder because she works at a deli counter in a supermarket and I don’t know I guess something went wrong with the wheel axle. The blade slipped off and flew back at her puncturing her Aorta artery. Emergency personnel tried to get the bleeding to stop on the way to the hospital but I guess Shelby lost so much blood that her heart stopped before they even got her there and they couldn’t save her. You guys will never know what it’s like to lose somebody that close to you until it actually really happens to you. It makes me feel like somebody just threw a ton of bricks at me right now. Losing Shelby is so unimagineable to me.”, Charlotte cried. Her friends just hugged her in sympathy and as they did so Cayela’s phone started to ring.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANUMt2gaaN5
“ Hello?”, Cayela answered.
7Please respect copyright.PENANALOLtNFS41T
“ Hi Cayela it’s Grandma Mary.”, Mrs. Cooper said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAdmMIzZthXm
“ Oh hi Grandma Mary, why are you calling me?”, Cayela asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPF5cTN4hRM
“ Oh Heavenly Father no reason other than to just talk to you.”, Mrs. Cooper said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtMXHpTeTqx
“ Oh, well, now’s not really a good time to talk because my friend Charlotte is pretty upset right now.”, Cayela said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmf16AV4jE6
“ Why is she upset?”, Mrs. Cooper asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATVYewdcZrg
“ One of her really close family friends just passed away today. My mom just told her about it a few minutes ago and right now she’s just sobbing.”, Cayela said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFfAPt0H56B
“ Put your phone on speaker. Let me talk to her.”, Mrs. Cooper sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKFYfg5DhF2
“ Ok.”, Cayela said as she hit the speaker button on her phone. Then she turned to Charlotte and said, “ Charlotte my grandmother wants to talk to you.” as she handed her phone to her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAG0LSCIHMeq
“ Ok.”, Charlotte cried as she held the phone in her hand.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZn1zAoe91P
“ Charlotte?”, Mrs. Cooper sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA7mB7l3SGPE
“ Yeah?”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXdPyH5a2Rl
“ Cayela just told me what happened. I’m so sorry for the loss of your family friend.”, Mrs. Cooper sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArVzmuS2wj5
“ Thank you. It’s just so hard for me to believe right now. I was not expecting a tragedy like this to happen to me in the way that it did. She didn’t deserve this.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqVVrsGQ9Se
“ Well who was this family friend that you lost?”, Mrs. Cooper sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQbFZoljZdV
“ Shelby Morrison. She was honestly more like a sister to me than a family friend. Her and I had such a great relationship. That’s why it’s just so hard for me to believe that she’s gone all because of a freak accident that she had at work today. She was working with a meat grinder behind a deli counter and the wheel axle suddenly malfunctioned. The blade flew off and back at her puncturing her Aorta artery which made her bleed to death on the way to the hospital.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwmi4j4EwUB
“ Oh Lord in Heaven that’s terrible. How old was she?”, Mrs. Cooper sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAk8Ce0VUPO
“ She was 23 about to be 24 next month.”, Charlotte cried.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhZKlzLYyPL
“ Well I am so very sorry that you’re going through this right now. Believe me it is never easy to lose somebody you love. I had gone through the same emotions as you when I lost my mother to an unexpected heart attack a few years ago. I know exactly how it feels.”, Mrs. Cooper sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUnl0Cui1Y7
“ I know. It hurts and it sucks that I’m never going to see her again, never going to talk to her again, and never going to hear her sweet voice. And another thing that sucks and is really sad is that she’s not going to be there anymore when I go to sleep tonight. She always used to come over at night whenever I was sad just to comfort me and make me feel better.”, Charlotte cried. Then she passed the phone back to Cayela and cried, “ I can’t talk anymore right now! I need a minute!” before she got up and left the room slamming the door behind her. Her depressing screams and cries were heard throughout the entire apartment.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATOrXKYy8FK
7Please respect copyright.PENANAG58TvkfPYv
“ SHELBY! WHY?!!!!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND LEAVE ME?!”, Charlotte screamed and cried as she started looking at pictures of her and Shelby together on her phone. She then stormed out of 4A slamming the door behind her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqo3zGv5hZJ
“ Uh Cayela, what’s wrong with your friend Charlotte?”, Leonard asked when he walked into his goddaughter’s bedroom.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAG3AQnWZZ1b
“ Somebody that she was very close to passed away today Uncle Leonard. She’s having a very hard time dealing with it right now.”, Cayela sadly said after she hung up on her grandmother.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAofYtVgAIeG
“ Was it somebody in her family?”, Leonard asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmviYonCl7q
“ No it was actually a really close family friend. She was a 23 year old woman and her name was Shelby Morrison. Charlotte said that the two of them were really close, almost like sisters.”, Cayela sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyuQHNMyQJZ
“ Oh that’s horrible. How did this happen?”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoA2HcAgqLx
“ Shelby had a freak accident at work involving a meat grinder. The wheel axle malfunctioned resulting in the blade slipping off and puncturing her Aorta. She bleed out to death on the way to the hospital after they tried so hard to stop the bleeding.”, Cayela sadly said. She talked to him for a few more minutes before he walked out. Charlotte came back into the apartment after composing herself. She was then sitting on the couch in the living room surrounded by Leo, Sheldon, Leonard, Cayela and the other three girls.

“ Can I please just stay here for a few days? I feel like if I go home right now it’s just going to make me really sad knowing I’m not going to see Shelby anymore.”, Charlotte sadly asked as she took a sip of her hot chocolate that Sheldon gave her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Sg0W59BN
“ Well, I don’t have a problem with that sweetheart and I’m sure Leonard doesn’t have a problem with it either but it’s all up to my husband Sheldon.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAu55Xhp54x5
“ Is it ok I stay here for a few days Dr. Cooper?”, Charlotte sadly asked as she looked up at Sheldon. Sheldon thought for a moment before he said, “ Yes you may stay here Charlotte.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAiRF6x1HcJA
“ Thank you.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAFt2E1Y21OV
“ Well if you’re going to stay here you should probably let your parents know so that they’re not freaking out about your whereabouts.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1spvI2UEtt
“ I’m going to do that right now.”, Charlotte sadly said as she took her phone out of her pocket.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnreFjaqjxX
“ Hi mom.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2vlL3rc9ii
“ Hi Charlotte. Did you…?”, Mrs. Tipton sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAs1RxcCSL9u
“ Yeah I know. Cayela’s mom just told me. Oh this sucks.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAWHZeutU5Q9
“ I know honey but we’ll get through it. It’s tough right now but it will get better.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKeEVVjEMq9
“ Mom is it ok that I stay with my friend for a few days? I don’t feel like coming home right now because it’s just going to make me really sad and I don’t think you, Dad and Cole want to listen to me cry all night long.”, Charlotte sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACNvRRgPz6C
“ Of course honey. Cole is actually going to go stay with grandma and grandpa for little while anyway but you can stay with your friend if you want to. Your father and I told him that he can stay with grandma and grandpa for as long as he wants and come home when he’s ready and you can absolutely do the same if you want. You can stay with your friend for as long as you want and come home when you’re ready.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADlIWxDirxv
“ Thank you.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHDTq6E92Lm
“ I’ll send your father over there with some of your things to drop them off.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2dNIt6Rc2O
“ Ok but doesn’t Cole need his stuff too?”, Charlotte sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKoat37gE5I
“ He already took his stuff with him when grandma and grandpa came by to pick him up 45 minutes ago.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbLekhtCzby
“ Oh so he’s already gone?”, Charlotte sadly asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2uFLWukb0i
“ Yes it’s just your father and I here at the house right now.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAMqh1BRaEKn
“ Alright mom I’ll be here waiting for Dad to drop my stuff off.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANARoU1SsnBhQ

7Please respect copyright.PENANAhSK8fpefwS
“ I love you too. Bye.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0ufKscaehc
“ Bye.”, Mrs. Tipton sadly said before she hung up. Mr. Tipton arrived 20 minutes later to drop off Charlotte’s belongings.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3LNkd2Xbq
“ Thanks Dad.”, Charlotte sadly said as she took her bags from her father and set them down on the floor by the door.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgV6hSRcMD0
“ Of course Charlotte. I love you. Try to have some fun ok even though I know it’s hard right now.”, Mr. Tipton sadly said as he hugged his daughter.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArnrEZ2o1sq
“ Ok. I’ll try not to think about Shelby too much. I know she wouldn’t want that if she was still here.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUCephGDSky
“ Exactly. Well i’m going to take off, please do something to keep your mind busy. Don’t be thinking about Shelby the whole time because it’s just going to annoy your friend and you don’t want that.”, Mr. Tipton sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAa5i6ZVRZgv
“ Ok bye Dad. Love you.”, Charlotte sadly said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAhQdj5Mto8J
“ Love you too. Bye.”, Mr. Tipton sadly said before he left. Cayela helped Charlotte move her stuff into her room and after that even though it was hard Charlotte slowly started to distract herself from the situation by continuing to hang out with her friends doing silly things and just trying to have a good time. Then after Florence, Summer and Julia left Cayela and Charlotte decided to hang upside down off the couch while Leo was working on her whiteboard and Sheldon and Leonard were sitting at their desks working on their laptops. Oreo was darting around the apartment batting one of her toys around with her kitty paws. Her little bell hanging from her collar was ringing like crazy with every move she made.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA35e0VmNKVH
“ F is fire that burns down the whole town!”, Cayela sang with a smirk on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwMrQnPv8ho
“ U is for uranium… bombs!”, Charlotte sang with a smirk on her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsuCi5nxJP5
“ N is for no survivors when you…!”, Cayela sang as her and Charlotte then busted out laughing.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAIKCSKhTVZZ
“ Cayela and Charlotte what are you girls doing?!”, Leo asked as she spun around toward her daughter and her daughter’s friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJoUGRQ0Bs8
“ We’re singing a Spongebob song as a distraction Mom!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjukq0sOrUI
“ Yeah and it’s totally working! I’m not even thinking about what just happened at the moment!”, Charlotte laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApzvmXwOZ8V
“ Well that’s good but could you please tone it down a bit? Cause if it’s distracting you it’s definitely distracting us too.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAjoKnsM0jLF
“ Oh sorry Mom!”, Cayela laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ap6gSgkw
“ You know I’ll bet you anything that Shelby’s looking down at me right now saying, “ Girl, what are you doing?!”, Charlotte laughed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZGLYOhSSO9
“ Yeah and oh crap I just released my bladder!”, Cayela laughed as her bladder involuntarily released itself into her diaper.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2m0dbBpL0w
“ Well then it sounds like you need to be changed. Come here.”, Leo said as she walked over to Cayela and picked her up off the couch.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbFGLy6kCo8
“ Aw come on!”, Cayela protested.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6n7Y44oaYh
“ Don’t give me that Cayela. You know that you need this right now.”, Leo said as she carried her daughter into her daughter’s bedroom. After she changed Cayela’s diaper Cayela went back to hanging out with Charlotte while the adults continued to work. But in the middle of the night Cayela and Charlotte were suddenly woken up to the sound of shattering glass coming from Cayela’s bedroom window that was right next to her bed. The girls screamed bloody murder when they saw a figure bust in kneeling on Cayela’s bed after she jumped out of her bed holding her cat Oreo in her arms. It was Dr. Stormbender. He had somehow escaped the insane asylum in Texas and made the journey back to California. He apparently was not through with causing trouble yet.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAU4wc1xzIqM
“ Who the h-e- double hockeysticks are you and what are you doing in my friend’s bedroom?!”, Charlotte screamed at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2mz8dQqUjw
“ It’s Dr. Devon Stormbender and that’s none of your business Charlotte!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkt3tqdUQzj
“ How do you know my name?! I’ve never met you before!”, Charlotte screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYYD3eAxhJ7
“ Yeah I’d like to know that also cyborg freak!”, Cayela screamed as she stood there holding Oreo in her arms wearing just her t-shirt and diaper.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnIlY3grxr3
“ Because I’ve been wire-tapping your mother’s cell phone and can hear everything you say!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAxBgWMLUyIG
“ What in the name of Einstein is going on in here?! DR. STORMBENDER?!”, Sheldon shouted as he suddenly entered the room with his wife Leo and his best friend and roommate Leonard.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAPTfzAxJwiq
“ Yeah it’s me you fools! What of it?!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted with an evil laugh.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASvFO9ZQBkW
“ What are you doing in my daughter’s bedroom?! Get out!”, Sheldon shouted in anger at his wife’s mortal enemy.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAb68nMVJ9Z1
“ Yeah what the hell did I tell you last time?! I told you you’re not going to touch our daughter!”, Leo shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAz0VxZTOmqd
“ Shut your pathetic mouth Leo! I’ll do what I want! You all have been thorns in my side for long enough! Now you’re gonna die!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he pointed his phaser gun at them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAwWv5wDJVzJ
“ OH NO WE’RE NOT!”, Leo shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATYCEYqiubU
“ What the hell?!”, Penny hissed as she poked her head out into the hallway from her apartment. Dakota came running up the stairs in a panic screaming, “ Oh my god Leo, Sheldon, Leonard, Cayela!” before she threw open the door to 4A and ran inside. Penny followed her and what they saw was Leo yelling at Dr. Stormbender telling him to get out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXXjpm4o315
“ Well well well, if it isn’t Skullbreaker and the bitch who threatened to punch me in the face, Penny!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0yDzupn6yn
“ Shut it you self-centered psychotic bastard! We’re really getting sick and tired of you messing with us! So do us a bi**hing favor and leave us the hell alone!”, Penny shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgjG5mCRkUF
“ Yeah Devon unless you want to get your skull busted up by me!”, Dakota shouted as she got up in his face clenching a tight fist into it. Her engagement ring was a few inches away from the tip of his nose.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcVbe1LvHmL
“ Shut up Dakota before I break every bone in your pathetic body!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted in her face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQGLyaP0FIX
“ Don’t threatened my fiancee! Leave her alone!”, Leonard shouted at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfF26HsWuQt
“ What are you going to do if I don’t Leonard?!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYwbn0nlgq4
“ You don’t want to know what I’m going to do to you! You’re not going to touch me, you’re not going to touch my fiancee, you’re not going to touch my best friends and you’re especially not going to touch my goddaughter! Do you hear me?! Now get out!”, Leonard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA47lMJ0uwOG
“ I’ll do whatever the hell I want Hofstadter! So I suggest you shut up before I kill you first!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he aimed his phaser gun at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAZo2ViaC0GU
“ OH NO YOU DON’T!”, Dakota shouted as she kicked the gun out of his hand and went into a blind rage kicking and punching frenzy on him. The noises in the room started to become obnoxious as Dakota’s fists and feet repeatedly struck his mechanical body. He started to fight back against her as she hit him harder and harder.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApbQXDDF9Hb
“ Auntie Dakota!”, Cayela screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAubLxMFZxM
“ No Cayela take your friend Charlotte and get out! I don’t want you two getting hurt and that includes the rest of you! Get out!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAmCkNGJSr1a
“ Dakota are you insane?! We’re not just going to leave you in here with my enemy!”, Leo shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANxQFk9zY5y
“ I don’t care Leo! Get out! Now!”, Dakota shouted as she continued to punch and kick Dr. Stormbender repeatedly. Leo wanted to argue with her friend but decided to reluctantly leave the room anyway with her husband, her two other friends, her daughter, her daughter’s friend and Oreo.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0tFMVu77oX
Ring ring ring ring ring!
7Please respect copyright.PENANAM7qeTZXGU4
“ Hello?”, Howard answered his cell phone in a groggy voice. Him and Bernadette were sleeping and he wasn’t expecting somebody to call him in the middle of the night.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA0CLOUpZcMV
“ HOWARD! GET OVER HERE! NOW!”, Leonard’s voice screamed at him on the other end.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUtgEdCeLTk
“ What is it Leonard? Bernadette and I are sleeping.”, Howard groggily said being careful not to wake up his wife.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAggSe1TbBxY
“ Dude, Dr. Devon Stormbender just broke into our apartment!”, Leonard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZOfXFCOu
“ What?! Are you fracking kidding me right now Leonard?!”, Howard quietly hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4YW2HpXlpg
“ No I’m serious! He just kicked in Cayela’s bedroom window that was right next to her bed while her and her friend Charlotte were sleeping and came in through there!”, Leonard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1c0bdtfOYF
“ He was that close to Cayela?!”, Howard quietly hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAs4q1l3hYrD
“ Yes!”, Leonard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2ahb86JL0
“ Well where is he now?!”, Howard quietly hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAr55K1Enyth
“ He’s still in there with Dakota beating the snot out of him right now!”, Leonard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAYb2UkKjISh
“ Well where are you guys?!”, Howard quietly hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAd5EPaz7KVw
“ We’re crammed in the bathroom with the door shut!”, Leonard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATiV9RbrIVH
“ Good, just stay in there! I’ll come over as fast as I can so we can figure out what to do with this guy!”, Howard quietly hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAo8sPObQFBq
“ Great! Hurry up before somebody gets killed over here!”, Leonard screamed before he hung up the phone.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9U3gAkoHoh
“ Alright!”, Howard quietly hissed as he got up out of bed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHVL4ZSk9jj
“ Howie where are you going now?! It’s in the middle of the night!”, Bernadette hissed as she sat up in the bed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3kzf3yNwm6
“ I’m going over to 4A Bernie! Leonard just called and said that Dr. Stormbender broke in!”, Howard hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArU8JAyu7X3
“ Oh son of a bitch! You got to be kidding me!”, Bernadette hissed as she laid back down and went back to sleep.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACFXtAoxik1
“ Give it up Dakota! You’re not going to win against me! I’m the most powerful mad scientist of all time! Even in my current state I’m unstoppable!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted as he butted heads with her.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5hcOIZ8P6b
“ That’s what you think you cyborg jerk!”, Dakota shouted as she shoved him away and threw another punch at his face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvckSXMMe
“ Dakota!”, Howard screamed when he showed up.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArwIm93h75S
“ Oh thank God you’re here Howard! Help me get rid of this creep!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANASQvKVhBjSr
“ I will but just move out of the way for a second!”, Howard screamed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANxZisH87SR
“ Are you crazy?! I’m not stopping until this madness ends!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAoy6i2645m6
“ Well I’m going to end it right now, just move!”, Howard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsgW6NfET90
“ What are you…?!”, Dakota screamed as she reluctantly moved out of the way.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApIRJQwBIlm
“ Alright Devon it’s just me and you!”, Howard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXEjxJKNEW6
“ Oh this should be real interesting! Bring it Wolowitz!”, Dr. Stormbender shouted.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA5qlUcTWK1o
“ Ok you asked for it!”, Howard shouted as he lashed out at him. The fight between the two of them lasted a few minutes before Howard took some wire cutters and cut the main power source that was powering Dr. Stormbender’s mechanical body.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAcDqEQ5jENC
“ What did you…! dooooooo.”, Dr. Stormbender shouted before his entire body shut down like a robot and fell to the floor.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAq8nFnAEnAf
“ There. That oughta shut you up.”, Howard said with a smug smirk on his face.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQcsC73yMFj
“ What did you just do to him?!”, Dakota shrieked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA8CgS6QS5hm
“ I just cut the main power source to his body with these wire cutters.”, Howard said as he held the said tool in his hand before he put it away.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9qbotS1dCA
“ Nice. So what do we do with him now?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAfVuIzJEcDK
“ I already got an idea of what to do with him. We just have to wait until tomorrow.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACapJCAL3sW
“ Holy crap on a cracker!”, Penny interjected when she entered the room with the others.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAAT2yHsPhls
“ Howard what did you do to him?!”, Leonard interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAgIhexp5422
“ I just permanently shut him down Leonard by cutting the main power source to his body using a pair of wire cutters.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAlzIMerAcj9
“ So are you basically saying that he’s dead?!”, Leo interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAodlnFxipkE
“ Yes he’s dead Leo.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQ62lK1IXwb
“ Oh thank God! That guy’s a creep!”, Charlotte interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANANv5yaMuniX
“ So what the hell are we going to do with him now?!”, Penny interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA2df15YzTb8
“ I already know what I’m going to do with him Penny. We just need to wait until morning.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA3uRqlGj7X2
“ Well where in the name of Einstein are we going to put him until then Wolowitz?!”, Sheldon interjected as he narrowed his eyes at his friend.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAsP2ncIjPnE
“ I’m just going to stuff him in the living room closet! I’ll come and get him tomorrow before we go to work!”, Howard hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1i0gAjmsQZ
“ And then what are you going to do with him?!”, Leonard hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUwUwCvYPfx
“ I’ll let you guys know tomorrow on our lunch break!”, Howard hissed as he dragged Dr. Stormbender’s body to the living room and shoved him the closet before he left. The broken glass was cleeaned up and the window was replaced before they all headed back to bed. The next morning after Cayela and Charlotte were dropped off at school Howard showed up at the apartment early carrying something in his hand and he wasn’t alone. Amy came with him and she was carrying something as well.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOSuXvRmS4T
“ For God sakes Wolowitz, what is that thing?!”, Leonard interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAY9hFueLBV8
“ It’s a wormhole generator Leonard.”, Howard said as he opened the closet and Dr. Stormbender’s body tumbled out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAuhkgdw56NR
“ Well what are you going do with that and why’s Amy with you?!”, Leonard interjected.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAzooCTEto2W
“ I’ll let you guys know later and Amy’s with me for the exact same reason.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAR8BSNFL4Pu
“ Exactly.”, Amy said as she threw the black tarp over Dr. Stormbender’s body that she was carrying.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ8aI0F0g4
“ Will you please explain what you’re going to do with Devon?!”, Sheldon scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAOdcnO7NNTA
“ I said I’ll let you know later Sheldon!”, Howard hissed. Then he asked, “ Do you have him covered good Amy?” as he picked up the wormhole generator and slung it over his arm.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAHifWUsfiAT
“ Yes he’s covered.”, Amy said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA6tSh3SPeJO
“ Alright you grab his legs, I’ll grab his arms.”, Howard said as he got in position to pick up the scientist’s arms.
7Please respect copyright.PENANATtgGJ32Dbu
“ Alright you got it Howard.”, Amy said as she positioned herself by his legs.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAbWcmKkiabr
“ Ok 1, 2, 3, lift!”, Howard commanded as he picked up Dr. Stormbender’s arms while Amy picked up his legs. The two of them carried him toward the front door.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAXYFSiruUyG
“ Alright you guys, see you at the university.”, Howard said as he opened the door behind him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAil2nTNRRO3
“ Howard we still have quite a bit of time before we have to leave.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAyUqkYOpaz8
“ I know Leo but Amy and I are going to go in early so we can get rid of your enemy.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANApNiltI13JQ
“ Will you please explain what you’re going to do with him Wolowitz?!”, Leo scolded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANArZAIOj2cLT
“ I told you I’ll tell you later!”, Howard hissed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADkhissnFD7
“ Ok if you insist.”, Leo said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtBBwatfZiF
“ Thanks. Come on Amy let’s hit it.”, Howard said as him and Amy dragged Dr. Stormbender’s tarp covered mechanical body out of the apartment and Howard slammed the door shut behind them.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4lAyjiO58y
“ Who’s car is this guy going in?”, Amy asked as they were dragging him down the stairs.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAEJhJrTbere
“ He’s going in my car. Help me stuff him in the back seat and then we can drive separately to lessen suspicion.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4BDVldXyjS
“ Good call Wolowitz.”, Amy said. Once they got to the lobby with him Howard stuck his head out the door to make sure nobody was looking.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAQd7OUqKV6p
“ The coast is clear. Let’s go.”, Howard said as him and Amy dragged Dr. Stormbender out the door and to his car. Once they had him laying in the back seat with the tarp still over him Amy asked, “ So what are we doing with him Howard?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAL0z5ABsdwO
“ You’ll see when we get to Caltech because you’re going to help me Amy. Now let’s go.”, Howard said. The two of them got into their cars and pulled out of the parking lot. As they drove to Caltech the song The Future Is Now by MARLOE began to play in the background. The song continued to play as they pulled up in the university parking lot and carefully dragged the scientist’s mechanical body through the back entrance of the building avoiding the security cameras as they dragged him down the stairs to the basement. Once there, Howard hooked up the wormhole generator to his laptop. Him and Amy then took turns typing in random codes which activated the wormhole. Then they took apart his mechanical body and sent the pieces through the wormhole. They then closed it up sending the body parts into cyberspace which then broke them down into data bits. Howard and Amy then took turns typing in deletion codes until all the data bits were completely destroyed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANADF7Fw3O5dA
“ That’s it, we did it Amy! He’s gone forever!”, Howard exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAm1EVi8GGYj
“ Oh what a relief! We finally got rid of him!”, Amy exclaimed as she let out a sigh of relief.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUNQgXfSTBj
“ Leo’s going to be so happy about this!”, Howard exclaimed. Then he shouted at his laptop, “ Goodbye forever you cyborg freak! Good riddence!” After they cleaned up the mess they made they headed to their labs and acted as if nothing happened. Then later on their lunch break they met up with their friends in the cafeteria.
7Please respect copyright.PENANABg45qQsirq
“ Alright we’ve waited long enough, spill it Howard. What did you and Amy do with my enemy?”, Leo asked.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAu14FXUayrm
“ Well Amy and I dragged him down to the basement, set up the wormhole generator, took his body completely apart, sent the body parts through the wormhole into cyberspace which broke them down into tiny data bits and then we deleted them.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACRRoJifg5S
“ WHAT?!”, Sheldon, Leonard and Raj exclaimed as they stared at him.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAaiRZ6pcMpT
“ Are you seriously kidding me right now Wolowitz?! He’s gone as in he’s out of existence completely?!”, Leo exclaimed as her eyes grew wide. She couldn’t believe what her friend just said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA1MhYvuyeDf
“ Yeah pretty much Leo! He’s gone! There was absolutely nothing left of him after we deleted his data bits!”, Howard exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ7lfMVVdN
“ What do you think Leo?!”, Amy exclaimed.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAGFLdIuZZhQ
“ Ok if you guys seriously did that then you have just made me the happiest person on the face of the planet right now! In fact, excuse me for one moment!”, Leo exclaimed as the biggest smile in history spread across her. She sprinted from the table, out of the cafeteria and up and down the hallways screaming with excitement.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA4e0JSnALCw
“ VICTORY! GOODBYE FOREVER DEVON! I NEVER HAVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!”, Leo excitedly screamed as she danced around the hallways. Then she returned to the table and exclaimed, “ I seriously don’t know how to thank you guys for this! My mind is blown right now! I’m absolutely speechless!”
7Please respect copyright.PENANASssBODgCJ6
“ I never I’d say this but nice job Howard and Amy!”, Sheldon said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.PENANA45jz1TnbJt
“ Thank you Sheldon.”, Howard said.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAUPlxnWx29W
“ Despite you not having a Ph.D.”, Sheldon pointed out.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAKIPzaan2Ln
“ SHELDON!”, Howard hissed at his friend.
