Sheldon Cooper had the gift of being able to work long range on the things that mattered to him. Invisibility, time travel, string theory, all of these things he worked on like a knotted yarn, one little snag at a time, however long it might take. Sometimes he would table it and then go back to it, but he never let it go entirely.
Such was the case with the lovely Penny. Homo Novus he may be, but to propagate the new species, he needed a mate. Someone with sturdy genes and a fertile body perfect for child-rearing. When Penny came along, he had long since given up finding the perfect mate. Then there she was, friendly and at that time apparently guileless. He now knew better on that front, just as he knew when he saw Leonard fawning over her that it would never work, and he would be forced to wait Leonard out until the little homunculus came to the decision on his own. Lord, that man was obtuse, even with facts staring him in the face…
He now realized that Penny could, on occasion be a cagey little minx and downright vengeful at times, but it worked quite well evolutionarily speaking—for survival of the fittest, their offspring may very well need such tendencies. It only made him appreciate her more. For all that, however, he did realize that she never intended to hurt those she cared about and was even capable of feeling great compassion and loyalty. She would never laugh at his efforts to romance her or allow him to be embarrassed or humiliated if she could help it. When he thought of her kicking that hacker in the testicles, he actually felt a swell of pride. When he thought of every time she sang him Soft Kitty and made him grilled cheese with the crusts cut off or spaghetti with little hot dogs cut up, he felt a warm stirring in his heart. Hopefully not angina.
So he set out on a plan. The inception of Operation: Woo Penny came sometime after he met her, before being forced to view The Lake House, and before she even dragged him to the jewelry store to secure a bribe for Amy. Prior to that he was merely content with waiting out the inevitable painful end of she and Leonard’s dalliance so that she could realize that his superior intellect and roguish good looks made him the clear superior and her ideal companion. Somewhere after the fifth or sixth stranger left her house doing the Walk of Shame, he realized that she may need a certain amount of convincing.
Thus, he entered into an ersatz relationship and allowed himself to be taught the ins and outs of conducting a romantic pairing. He allowed her to see him dance. He took note of her likes and dislikes, what traits she appreciated in a man. His biggest break-through to date was filling out the online application for that sham dating profile. Thanks to that little venture, he knew exactly what turned her on and what her ideals were in a man, in a date, and in a relationship. Thanks to that, he concocted a plan and Operation: Woo Penny was born.
And now the stage was set for Phase Two. He smiled smugly to himself as he rounded the car after opening the passenger door for her. So many years of listening to his brother talk about how to treat the ladies had done him well. George Junior was the right kind of ladies' man. Unlike the one Howard thought he was, or the one Leonard and Raj tried to be. So he started there. Pulling out all the cards his brother played. And Sheldon Cooper was from Texas. He could flat out play some cards. It also helped having an eidetic memory.
So one card on the table: during Penny's downtime away from the group--and after all too many trips to work and back via bus, Sheldon had altered his schedule enough to provide time for a defensive driving course and got his license at last. No car yet, but that was still in the research stage. Right now, he thought, it was time to start showing his hand. But not all of it. Not yet.
