Penny focused on studying with Sheldon over the next two weeks and it actually paid off. Not only did she accumulate 90 points, but she also got and A- on her music midterm exam. She didn't even care about the points really, because Sheldon still got physical with her on his terms. They still hadn't had sex, and though she would patiently wait for him to be ready, the waiting was getting hard.
She was over at the boy's place watching them play Mystic Warlords of K-ah. Sheldon was a tricky person to play with because of his eidetic memory. She wondered what would happen if he went to Vegas and played blackjack.
"Screaming Harpy." Howard said as he threw his card on the pile.
"My Enchanted Troll bludgeons your Screaming Harpy with a cursed mace. Game" Sheldon threw down his card after contemplating his move for a moment.
Penny smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss. He felt like a knight and she was his damsel. Howard stared at the pair. He wasn't sure he could ever get over Sheldon kissing any one.
He did have to admit that he had calmed down in the recent weeks. It was almost like Sheldon had been transformed into a real boy! Sheldon would have usually gloated and held the win above their heads, but instead he just continued on.
"Well, I have to go and help my mother pumice her feet." Howard said. Everyone gave him a disgusted look. Raj got up with him and they left together.
Sheldon and Penny sat on the couch and she was snuggled up into him, his hand draped over the back of the sofa. Leonard sat in the arm chair texting Priya as they all watched Star Trek: The Original Series together.
"I'm going to go to the movies with Priya, do you guys want to come?" Leonard asked as he got up off of the chair. He looked at Penny and Sheldon snuggled on the couch and thought that they really were great together. He could finally see it. After he and Sheldon had their spat, he decided that they were just never meant to be. He and Priya were.
"Nah, we're good." Sheldon spoke for the both of them. Penny was thankful, because Priya hated her and the feeling was mutual. Leonard nodded and headed out the door. Sheldon looked at Penny nuzzled in beside him and smiled. He wanted to share his news with her when it was just the two of them.
"So, Howard is currently maintaining the equipment on Stephen Hawking's wheelchair." Sheldon said nonchalantly. Penny didn't know exactly what Stephen Hawking did, but she knew that he was important in Sheldon's world. She quickly sat up and genuinely felt excited for him.
"Really? That's awesome! Do you get to meet him?" She asked meeting his sparkling eyes. She was surprised because she was more excited than he was. He probably already freaked out about it.
Sheldon was trying very hard to contain his excitement. He remembered when Howard told him. He went to his room and screamed into a pillow. His face ticked and burst into a big smile.
"Stephen Hawking read my paper on the Higgs Boson particle and he wants to meet me!" Sheldon exclaimed. He was quickly being pulled into a quick embrace. She pulled away and was genuinely excited for him. This could mean so much for his career.
"Penny, I get to meet Stephen Hawking tomorrow!" He cried. He felt the excitement building up inside of him. His cheeks began to ache because he was smiling so hard.
"What are you going to wear?" She quickly asked. His smile faded and he looked at her skeptically.
"It's not a fashion show, Penn." He quickly chastised her. "It's science, and I will be wearing what I would normally wear to work." He concluded. She smiled.
"At least wear a blazer when you meet him." She suggested. He nodded and they settled back into the show.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sheldon was standing before one of the greatest minds of the 21st century. He was so nervous. The blazer he had decided to wear over his t-shirt/thermal combo was making him sweat. He clutched his paper tightly in his hand and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Professor Hawking, it's an honor and a privilege to meet you, sir." Sheldon stated with admiration and confidence. He waited as the machine on Stephen Hawking's chair beeped and whirred.
"I know." He replied. Sheldon nodded his head, knowing what it was like to have a brilliant mind.
"I want to thank you for taking time to see me." He quickly said. The machine beeped.
"My pleasure, I enjoyed reading your paper very much. You clearly have a brilliant mind." He replied. Sheldon was slightly caught off guard. He just received a compliment from Stephen Hawking. Really though, it was more like a statement.
"I know." Sheldon replied nodding his head. The machine beeped.
"Your thesis that the Higgs Boson is a black hole accelerating backwards through time is fascinating." He replied. Sheldon knew that his discovery was a very exciting one and it would surly move him closer to winning the Nobel Prize.
"Thank you." He shrugged his shoulders. "It just came to me one morning in the shower." He sheepishly replied. The machine beeped.
"That's nice. Too bad it's wrong." He replied. Sheldon's heart stopped for a second and his stomach flopped. He began to nervously shake and his face twitched.
"What do you mean, wrong?" Sheldon stammered. The machine beeped.
"You made an arithmetic mistake on page two." He replied. Sheldon's heart hammered in his chest. There was no way he had made a mistake. The math was perfect!
"It was quite a boner." Stephen Hawking concluded. Sheldon felt light headed. He quickly looked at his paper and back to Stephen Hawking.
"No.. No.. T-t-that can't be right." He said while flipping through the pages. "I don't make arithmetic mistakes." He said. The machine beeped.
"Are you saying I do?" He asked. This can't be happening. How did this get so off track?
"No, no." Sheldon said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Of course not, it's just, I was thinking." He saw it. How could he have missed it? It was such a stupid mistake! He was quickly flooded with embarrassment. He had just made a fool of himself in front of Stephen Hawking!
"Oh gosh, golly! I made a boo-boo.. and I gave it to.." His world suddenly became smaller and blackness was consuming his vision and clouding his mind. "Stephen Hawking." He concluded and then promptly passed out.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sheldon laid in his bed. He was so frustrated with himself. He had let himself get distracted with his feelings and now he was a fool in Stephen Hawking's eyes. He couldn't let himself get distracted any more. He had to end it with Penny.
His mind moved to Penny with her blond hair, good looks and charm. She had caused the mistake in his work. If he stayed true to his work, he would have quadruple checked his math. Tears stung his eyes. He thought about what his life would be like after he surgically removed her from it.
It sucked. It had to be done though, she was getting in the way of his ultimate goal. He couldn't lose it. He worked too hard. Tears fell down his temples into his hair. He quickly wiped them away and closed his eyes.
Sheldon Cooper did not cry. He sat up in his bed and grabbed his phone. Better just to get things over with, like ripping off the proverbial Band-Aid. He quickly typed out a text to Penny.
"I have to talk to you." He quickly hit the send button. His phone buzzed in his hands.
"Right now?" She asked. He walked out to the living room and texted back.
"Yes." He stood in the living room in front of the coffee table with his hands clasped behind his back.
She knocked lightly and entered his apartment. He looked upset, sad and afraid all at the same time.
"What's wrong, Sweetie?" She asked concerned for her boyfriend. He began to pace. She moved toward the couch.
"Don't bother sitting, Penny." He said cold and distant, stopping her in her tracks. "My meeting with Professor Hawking didn't go well today." He stated. She was confused. Why was he acting like this?
"Oh no, what happened?" She quickly asked. He stared at her and continued.
"Oh no, indeed. There was a mistake in my findings, Penny." Tears welled up in his eyes and he took a deep breath. "I made a fool of myself in front of one of the greatest minds of the 21st century. Thank you." He finished.
Her mind was racing. Was he mad at her? Then something clicked. He was blaming her.
"You're saying that I caused that mistake?" She replied hurt and angry.
"I don't make mistakes, Penny!" He shouted at her. He took a steady breath to calm himself down. "I can no longer afford to make mistakes, so I am going to have to discontinue this relationship." He said. Tears stung his eyes and he quickly wiped them away.
"What? Sheldon, you don't know what you're saying!" She cried, her cheeks were now streaked with tears.
"I have an I.Q. of 187 and I have a working knowledge of the universe and everything it contains. I believe that I do know what I am saying, Penny. Now if you could leave." He said motioning toward the door.
"Sheldon, please don't." She pleaded through tears. He looked away. He hated seeing her cry.
"Penny, I asked you to leave." He said quietly. His insides were screaming at him to stop.
"Sheldon, please, you're breaking my heart!" She cried as she walked a couple of steps toward him and tried to reach out and touch his arm. Tears fell from Sheldon's cheeks onto his t-shirt creating darkened circles. He moved backward to avoid her touch, although it was everything he wanted and more in that moment.
"Just go, please." He pleaded. She huffed and left his apartment. She slammed the door behind her and Sheldon winced at the sound. It seemed to echo in his brain for an eternity. Sheldon's lip quivered and he took a shaky breath. He sniffled, wiped his face and returned to his bedroom. He sat in there for the rest of the evening crying into his pillow
