Chapter 19
Beep… beep… beep…
" DeAnna. DeAnna Rivers, can you hear me?" a nurse asked as she placed a soft hand on the 4th grade teacher's shoulder.
" What? What happened? Where am I?", Mrs. Rivers softly asked as she began to slowly regain consciousness.
" You're in the hospital. These two women and this man found you laying in a field in the middle of the night with a gunshot wound to your head.", the nurse said as she gestured toward Leo, Dakota, and Sheldon.
" Hi Mrs. Rivers.", Leo and Dakota said.
" Leo, Dakota?", Mrs. Rivers asked. The two women nodded their heads.
" Oh, it's so nice to see you two again. How did you find me?", Mrs. Rivers asked.
" We heard the gunshot and followed the direction it came from.", Dakota said.
" Who did this to you?", Leo asked.
" I don't know. I couldn't see his face. He had a black ski mask over his head.", Mrs. Rivers said.
" Well if he ever shows his stupid face around here again I'm gonna deck him! I am a MMA fighter after all!", Dakota exclaimed as she threw a series of punches and kicks before smacking her elbow on the heart monitor.
" Ow!", Dakota yelped out in pain as she rubbed her elbow.
" That's great Dakota! What are you doing now Leo?!", Mrs. Rivers asked.
" I'm a theoretical physicist.", Leo said.
" That's wonderful!", Mrs. Rivers exclaimed. Then she looked at Sheldon and asked, " And who's this man next to you?"
" This is my boyfriend Dr. Sheldon Cooper. He's a physicist in the same field as well and he is the love of my life.", Leo said as she looked at Sheldon with a smile on her face.
" It's nice to meet you Dr. Cooper.", Mrs. Rivers said. Sheldon nodded his head as the conversation carried on. After a few minutes Sheldon said, " Leo we should probably get back to Gidget outside."
" Oh yeah I completely forgot that Gidget was with us. I'm so sorry to cut the conversation short Mrs. Rivers but we got to get back outside to my dog. She's probably wandering aimlessly in the parking lot right now wondering where we are.", Leo said.
" Oh that's alright. I'm going to try to sleep anyway. Thank you for finding me and saving my life.", Mrs. Rivers said.
" Oh you're welcome. Bye Mrs. Rivers.", Leo said as she walked out of the room with Sheldon.
" Later Mrs. Riv.", Dakota said as she walked out too.
" Bye. ", Mrs. Rivers said before she drifted off to sleep.
Outside…
" Wait a minute, where's Gidget?!", Dakota asked as she looked around the parking lot but saw that Gidget was nowhere in sight.
" I don't know. Gidget? Where are you girl? Gidget? Gidget?", Leo called out but got no response. She paniced and began running down the road.
" Yo Leo wait up!", Dakota exclaimed as she chased after her friend.
" Oh dear Lord, here we go again! Running through the city of Savannah in the middle of the night looking for a German Shepherd!", Sheldon exclaimed as he took off after his girlfriend and his other friend.
Fordyce home...
Ring ring ring!
" Oh god! Who's calling me at this ungodly hour?!", Donny said in a groggy tired voice but not so loud to wake up Amanda who was sleeping in the bed next to him.
" It's your sister-in law Leo! Who do you think it is Donny?!", Leo exclaimed.
" Leo why are you calling me?! It's after 1 o'clock in the morning! Your sister and I are trying to sleep!", Donny quietly hissed.
" Gidget got away from us after we stopped at the hospital to check on my former 4th grade teacher! Can you maybe get up, grab Gidget's leash, a couple of treats and come find us?! We're literally chasing her all over the city right now!", Leo exclaimed.
" Aww Leo! Why was she with you guys in the first place?!", Donny quietly hissed.
" She wanted to come with us! She kept giving us the sad eyes! Can you please just come get us?!", Leo hissed.
" Alright alright I'm on my way! Damn it Leo!", Donny quietly hissed as he rolled out of the bed.
" Donny where are you going at this time of night?! It's after 1 in the morning!", Amanda suddenly hissed at her husband as she was suddenly woken up by the sudden movement of the bed.
" I'm going to get your sister and her boyfriend! Apparently they stopped at the hospital to see someone and Gidget apparently went with them but got away! They're chasing her all over the city!", Donny hissed at his wife.
" Gidget's loose in the city?!", Amanda somewhat shrieked as she stared at Donny.
" Yes which is why I now have to go out on a wild goose chase or more appropriately a wild dog chase!", Donny hissed as he threw on some clothes and stormed out of the room. He walked downstairs, grabbed his car keys, grabbed Gidget's leash as well as a few dog treats and left the house.
" Gidget! Gidget!", Leo and Sheldon called out.
" Yo Gidge where are you?!", Dakota shouted.
" Dakota what did I say about the shouting?! Quit doing that! People are trying to sleep!", Sheldon hissed.
Woof woof woof!
" You guys hear that?! That's probably Gidget! Gidget, come here girl!", Leo exclaimed as she ran toward the sound of Gidget's barking. Sheldon and Dakota followed her and when they all found Gidget they were completely confused. Gidget was standing at the base of a tree barking at something that was moving along a tree branch. Dakota shined her head lamp up the tree and let out a giddy laugh when she saw what it was that Gidget was barking at. It was a little orange and white kitty cat.
" Gidget, it's just a cat! There's other living creatures living in this world besides you! You don't need to go insane over that!", Leo laughed.
Meow!
Woof woof woof!
" Oh good Lord! She ran away from us just to go bark at a cat!", Sheldon exclaimed.
Meow!
Woof woof woof!
" Gidget! Come here! You want some treats?!", Donny called out as he stepped out of his car with a bag of dog treats.
Woof!
" Come here girl! Come get some treats!", Donny called out as he shook the bag. Gidget instantly sprinted toward him wagging her tail behind her. Donny tossed her some treats before attaching the leash to her collar. Gidget gobbled up the treats before Donny put her in the car.
" Thanks Donny.", Leo said.
" No problem. Let's get back to the house now, it's late.", Donny said. The 4 of them got into the car and drove back to the house.
7 A.M. the next morning at the Fordyce home…
Crash!
Bleap bleap bleap bleap bleap bleap bleap!
" Hey! What do you think you're doing?!", Dakota shouted as she was suddenly woken up by a loud crash and the ADT security system shrieking. The perpetrator was climbing in through the living room window holding a crowbar. Dakota jumped off the couch and chased him through the house swinging her hammer at him. The commotion alerted the Fordyces as well as Sheldon. They ran down the stairs causing Gidget to start barking up a storm.
" Come here dirtbag!", Dakota shouted as she continued chasing the perpetrator.
" Dakota!", Leo screamed.
" Good Lord, what is going on?!", Sheldon shrieked.
" Yeah seriously Dakota! What the hell happened?!", Leo screamed.
" Someone just broke into your house and he's wearing a ski mask! I think it's the same guy who attacked Mrs. Rivers!", Dakota screamed.
" All of you get in the walk-in closet now and Robert go lock all the doors and windows! Make sure this guy doesn't escape while I go get dressed!", Mrs. Fordyce commanded.
" Mom what about Gidget?!", Leo shrieked.
" No! Leave Gidget out! It will make it a lot easier for me to catch this guy if she scares him!", Mrs. Fordyce scolded.
" Is your mother seriously making us go into a closet right now?!", Sheldon shrieked.
" Apparently so Sheldon! Everybody pile in!", Stephen exclaimed. Once his siblings, brother-in law and Sheldon were all in the closet Stephen poked his head out and shouted, " Dakota! Get in here!"
" I can't right now Stephen! I'm trying to break this guy's skull!", Dakota shouted.
" Just because you're an MMA fighter doesn't mean you can do whatever you want Dakota Harris so get in the closet with the rest of us now! Let my mom handle it!", Stephen shouted.
" How am I supposed to do that when he's looking right at me?!", Dakota shouted. In an instant Kennedy makes the split second decision to bolt out of the closet and into the kitchen. She grabbed the bottle of ketchup out of the fridge and ran out of the kitchen.
" Kennedy what are you...?!", Dakota exclaimed as Kennedy suddenly chucked the bottle at the perpetrator which hit him in the nuts before grabbing Dakota by the hand. Dakota screamed as she was yanked out of the room and into the closet.
" Kennedy what the hell did you just do?!", Leo exclaimed as she stared at her sister.
" I chucked a bottle of ketchup at him and it hit him in the nuts!", Kennedy laughed.
" Why would you do that?! Now you probably pissed him off!", Amanda hissed.
" Oh I don't like this at all! This is becoming completely obnoxious!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" Would you shut it Dr. Cooper before you get us all killed?!", Junior hissed.
Pop pop pop!
" Get on the ground! Now!"
Woof woof woof!
" Miranda what are you...?!"
" Robert, get out of here! Get in the closet with the kids! This is serious police work right now! I don't want you getting hurt!"
" Miranda!"
" No! Get in the closet!"
" Oh sh*t! That sounds like a major sitch going down out there!", Garrett exclaimed.
" Garrett shut up!", Kennedy hissed.
Bang bang bang!
" Oh hell! It's the perpetrator! He found us!", Stephen screamed causing everyone to scream.
" Stephen Nathaniel Fordyce open the door! It's your father!", Mr. Fordyce scolded through the door.
" Oh, you guys calm down. It's just Dad.", Stephen said as he opened the door allowing his father to come in. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
" You could have told us that Dad instead of just banging on the door!", Junior said.
" I didn't want to attract any attention from that crazy psycho out there that your mother's dealing with!", Mr. Fordyce said.
" You left Mom out there alone?!", the 6 siblings shrieked.
" I didn't have a choice! She told me to get in the closet with all of you!", Mr. Fordyce said.
Pop pop pop!
Woof woof woof!
" Get on the ground! I'm not going to tell you again buddy!"
" Kiss my a** you stupid bi**h!"
" Oh no! You did not just call me that! You just made a big mistake pal by breaking into an officer's house! That's not real smart buddy!"
Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!
" Call off your stupid dog!"
" My dog is not stupid! You do what I tell you or she's going to bite you!"
Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!
" I ain't doing nothing! If you don't call off your dog then I'm gonna silence her!"
" You dare try to do that and I will tase you to the ground! I'm warning you buddy! You listen to me or Gidget will bite you!"
" That is a stupid name for a dog!"
" No it's not! Quit disrespecting me and my dog!"
" This is ridiculous! I've had it with this!", Leo hissed as she shoved her way out of the closet.
" Leo! Get back here!", Leo's siblings, father, brother-in law and boyfriend shouted. Leo ignored them and made her presence known.
" Hey! Go disrespect someone else! Get out of our house!", Leo shouted at the criminal threatening to hurt them.
" Leo! Get back in the closet! This is a situation that I don't want you getting involved in!", Mrs. Fordyce scolded.
" I don't care Mom! I'm taking a stand! I'm not just going to stand in a closet listening to this guy disrespect you and Gidget like that! This nuthole doesn't know what the hell he's saying!", Leo shouted. Then she thought, ' Wow! I'm really starting to sound like Penny!'
" Well then you just made the biggest mistake of your pathetic life! Now you're mine you little bitch!" , the perpetrator shouted. Leo screamed as he came at her with a knife but before he could stab her, her mother took him down to the floor and pressed her foot into his back.
" Get off me!"
" Don't you even think about touching my daughter! I will knock you out in two seconds flat and spray you in the face with mace!", Mrs. Fordyce shouted as she tightened her grip on him.
Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!
" Shut up you stupid mutt!" Leo stepped on the guy's hand after he tried to attack Gidget.
" Ow! Why you little…!"
" Oh hell! Ahhhhhhhhh!", Leo screamed as the guy suddenly broke free and began to chase her. Gidget instantly went into full on protective mode and chased after him barking and growling at his heels.
" Leo!", Mrs. Fordyce screamed in a panic.
" Oh God! Somebody help me!", Leo screamed.
" Oh hell no! That guy's going after our sister!", Stephen screamed.
" Garrett! Grab the paintball guns!", Junior screamed.
" On it!", Garrett screamed as he reached behind them and pulled out two paintball guns.
" Ok! Let's go!", Junior exclaimed.
" Wait, aren't we gonna get the third one upstairs Junior?!", Garrett asked.
" Yes we are Garrett!", Junior exclaimed.
" What are you two idiots doing?!", Stephen screamed at his two brothers.
" We're going to shoot that guy with paintballs!", Junior exclaimed.
" What good is that gonna do Junior?! You don't have any idea what this guy could do!", Stephen interjected.
" Yeah, you're not firing paintballs in this house!", Mr. Fordyce scolded his two younger sons.
" Dad they're already doing it!", Stephen shot back when he noticed that his two younger brothers had already left the closet.
" What?!", Mr. Fordyce interjected.
Loft area…
" Let's get him brotha!", Junior silently exclaimed.
" Oh yeah!", Garrett silently exclaimed. In an instant the two brothers swung down off the loft on a long rope that was tied to the ceiling. Junior began to screech like Tarzan and Garrett starting singing the chorus of The Witch Doctor.
" Leo! Catch this!", Garrett shouted as he tossed his sister the third paintball gun. Leo caught it in mid-air, cocked it and shouted, " Alright buddy, time to dance!"
" What?!"
( The Witch Doctor song plays in the background as Junior continues screeching like Tarzan)
Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop!
" Ahhhhh! What is this?! I can't see anything and ow! Somebody get this mutt off me!"
Paintballs continued flying everywhere as Gidget was mauling him. By the time he was finally captured he had paint and blood all over him.
" Victory!", Leo, Junior, and Garrett exclaimed as they smacked hands with each other. When they ran outside to shoot paintballs at each other Mr. Fordyce shouted, " Junior, Garrett, and Leo get back in here and clean up this mess!"
" Dad they can't hear you!", Kennedy exclaimed.
" Robert just let them have their fun. They'll clean it up when their done.", Mrs. Fordyce said as she placed a hand on her husband's shoulder.
" Alright Miranda if you say so.", Mr. Fordyce said before walking away. Sheldon just stood there looking out the doorwall completely captivated. As he watched his girlfriend shooting paintballs at her brothers he thought about maybe asking her to join the university's paintball team. He thought that with her on his team they would have even more of an advantage on the geologists.
" I'm gonna get you Garrett! You better get to your safe base before I kill you!", Leo exclaimed as she aimed her paintball gun at him ready to fire.
" Not so fast Leo!", Junior exclaimed as he jumped out of a tree firing paintballs at her.
" Ahhhhhhh! Mayday Mayday! Enemy ambush!", Leo screamed as she grabbed a wooden deck palet and used it as a makeshift shield while running away. As Junior chased her Morgan suddenly came out of her house with a paintball gun and shouted, " Hey Junior and Garrett, get a little taste of the Brisby Fury!"
" Oh hell! It's Morgan!", the two brothers screamed as they began to shield themselves from the incoming paintballs.
" Great timing Morgan! Let's get them!", Leo exclaimed as the two best friends ganged up on Junior and Garrett. The song Fly Like An Eagle by Steve Miller Band played in the background. Once the paintball battle was over, the battlefield was then cleaned up as well as the inside of the house. A voicemail was then left on the answering machine. It was Shelina calling to say that she made a new friend and wanted introduce her to them later that night.
Several hours later back in Pasadena, California…
" Hi you guys!", Shelina exclaimed.
" Hi Shelina!", Morgan, Carmen, Kemdan, Melissa, Megynn, Leo, and Dakota exclaimed.
" So who's this new friend of yours?", Melissa asked.
" This is Yesenia Chang. She's from Busan, South Korea. And Yesenia these are my friends, Morgan Brisby, Carmen Owosski, Kemdan Castle, Melissa Bustamante, Megynn Smith, Dr. Leo Fordyce, and Dakota Harris.", Shelina said.
" Yeoboseyo! My name's Yesenia Chang!", Yesenia said with a smile.
" Did she just say hello in Korean?", Carmen asked.
" Yeah, she's bilingual. She can speak both Korean and English.", Shelina said.
" Oh well in that case hi Yesenia! I'm Carmen!", Carmen exclaimed as she shook hands with her.
" Nice to meet you as well as the rest of you! So which one is the doctor of this group?", Yesenia asked.
" That would be me. I have a Ph.D in theoretical physics with an IQ of 185.", Leo said.
" Wau! Geugeo insangjeog-iya!", Yesenia exclaimed.
" Thanks!", Leo exclaimed.
Beep!
" Quien es ese telefono?", Kemdan asked.
" That's mine Kem.", Leo said as she took her phone out. She saw that she had a text message from Sheldon.
Dr. S. C: Where are you Leo? I'm begining to miss you.
" Who texted?", Shelina asked.
" Just my boyfriend.", Leo said with a smile. The other women began giving each other gawking smiles.
" You have a boyfriend?", Yesenia asked with a smile.
" Yeah I do. He's a theoretical physicist too but he's just a little bit smarter than me.", Leo said.
" Does he have a name?", Yesenia asked.
" Dr. Sheldon Cooper. A lot of people think of him as a nutcase because of his strange quirks but to me he's unlike any guy I've ever met. He's very sweet and he treats me with so much respect. I don't think my life could get any better than it already is right now.", Leo said as she sent Sheldon a text back.
Dr. L. F: I miss you too. I'm just with my friends, I'll be back soon. :)
" Oh that's wonderful! I used to have a boyfriend too but we broke up 2 years ago because my father didn't like him. His name was Emmett Yojimbo and he wasn't all that nice anyway. He became very controlling and he would sometimes get very angry with me. So one day my father yelled at him to go back to his country and never see me again. So that was the end of mine and Emmett's relationship.", Yesenia said.
" You dated a Japanese man?", Morgan asked.
" Geulae, naega haess-eo. I fell in love with him the first time we met but after we dated for a while he became a different person from the man that I had fallen in love with. He just wasn't the same person anymore and it shattered my heart very deeply.", Yesenia said.
" You and me are in the same boat sister. I just broke up with my boyfriend who turned out to be a jerk as well. His name was Rico Boriellas.", Dakota said.
" What happened with that Dakota?", Yesenia asked.
" Well he did pretty much the same stuff that Emmett did to you except my problems are probably a lot worse than yours.", Dakota said.
" How so?", Yesenia asked.
" Well Rico got so mad when I broke up with him that he came after me with a homemade Walking Dead Lucille bat and attacked with it.", Dakota said.
" Oh Dakota that's horrible! He seriously did that to you?!", Yesenia asked in complete shock.
" Yeah he did and Leo and Sheldon almost got hurt as well. It was so bad that Leo litterally had to hide behind her kitchen counter while Sheldon was defending himself with his pistol.", Dakota said.
" Where were you when all of this was happening?", Yesenia asked.
" I was hiding in the hallway closet until Rico came bounding toward me and just started beating me with the bat.", Dakota said.
" Well have you found anyone else since then?", Yesenia asked.
" Not yet but I know I will at some point. You will too.", Dakota said.
" Thank you.", Yesenia said with a smile.
Stand up stand up! We shall not be moved! Except by a child with no socks and shoes! If you got more to give than you got to prove, put your hands up and I'll copy you!
" Ahhhhh my phone's ringing!", Leo exclaimed as she pulled her phone out and answered it. She talked on the phone for a few minutes before hanging up.
" Who was that Leo?", Dakota asked.
" That was my mom. She just called to tell me that Mrs. Rivers just got released from the hospital and that she's at home recovering.", Leo said with a smile.
" Oh that's wonderful!", Dakota exclaimed.
" Who's that?", Yesenia asked.
" She's our old 4th grade teacher.", Leo said.
" Why was she in the hospital?", Yesenia asked.
" Because some lowlife idiot kidnapped her a week ago and shot her last night. Then he decided to break into Leo's house this morning but luckily we stopped him dead in his tracks.", Dakota said.
" Which was a big mistake on his part because my mom's a police officer.", Leo said.
" Wau! That definitely is a huge mistake!", Yesenia exclaimed.
" Yeah and what cracked me up is what Leo's sister Kennedy did! She grabbed a bottle of ketchup out of the fridge and threw it at him! I'm mean really?! A FRACKING KETCHUP BOTTLE!", Dakota laughed.
" Oh that is hilarious! I'm sure he wasn't expecting that!", Yesenia laughed.
" No he wasn't!", Dakota laughed.
" So Shelina how did you and Yesenia meet each other?", Leo asked.
" We met at work. She just started working at our office building a few weeks ago and so we introduced ourselves. Next thing I knew we were sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee, laughing and carrying a conversation with each other.", Shelina said.
" That's really interesting and don't even think about it Kemdan!", Leo interjected as she noticed Kemdan standing behind her trying to make another flirtacious move on her. He was still infatuated with her.
" Aww come on! Esto es ridículo!", Kemdan exclaimed as he backed away.
" Kemdan Ryan Castle, what part of ' we're best friends' don't you get?!", Leo interjected.
" I can't help it!", Kemdan exclaimed.
" How many times do I have to tell you that I'm dating Sheldon?!", Leo shot back.
" I know I know!", Kemdan exclaimed.
" Well if you know then why do you keep doing it?!", Leo shot back.
" I just told you why! You're not like other girls I've met and you're pretty!", Kemdan exclaimed.
" Well that's exactly why Sheldon's in love with me. Look, I like you as a best friend and even though I still have a special place in my heart for Brady I've moved on to Sheldon and I'm very happy. That should be enough for you. Sheldon and I have great chemistry together. We have so many things in common that I don't think you and I would have. If you and I were together chances are things wouldn't have worked out and we would've ruined a really great friendship. I don't know how else to explain that to you. We've had this discussion before Kem and you may not realize it but you're starting to exhibit some of the same behaviors as crazy Dr. Nowitzki.", Leo said.
" Well I wouldn't say that Leo.", Kemdan said.
" Well you know what I mean Kemdan!", Leo shot back.
" Hey can we not talk about that psycho woman anymore? She's serving a life sentence in prison remember?", Megynn asked.
" What did this woman do?", Yesenia asked.
" Oh you don't even want to know what this woman did Yesenia! We're still very pissed off about it!", Morgan interjected.
" No really, what did she do?", Yesenia asked.
" I honestly don't want to go into details about it because you're gonna think how can anyone do that to another person but I'm going to tell you as best as I can. So Dr. Ramona Nowitzki was a physics grad student at Caltech which is the university that Sheldon and I work at with some of our friends. She was very obsessed with Sheldon and essentially built up this fantasy in her head, to which she denied it, a fantasy in which she believes that her and Sheldon are in a relationship together which is absolutely not true what so ever but when she found out that I was dating him she thought of me as a threat and wanted me out of the way, as in, out of existance.", Leo said.
" Geunyeoga neol jug-ilyeogo haess-eo?!", Yesenia shrieked.
" Yeah, she broke into my apartment in the middle of the night and dragged me out of my bed while I was sleeping to a crematory warehouse!", Leo exclaimed.
" Oh no she didn't!", Yesenia exclaimed with a gasp. She could already tell where this story was heading.
" Oh yeah she did! That bi**hy whore tried to cremate me alive! It was the most terrifying night of my life that I'll never forget!", Leo exclaimed.
" Oh Leo, that's horrible!", Yesenia gasped.
" So in conclusion she got sentenced to life in prison without parole. So she's now locked away for the rest of her life.", Leo said.
" So let me clarify this, Dr. Nowitzki was in love with your boyfriend Dr. Cooper so she wanted to get rid of you by cremating you alive Leo?!", Yesenia asked.
" Yes that's exactly how she wanted to get rid of me Yesenia! She didn't want to leave any traces of evidence behind her so she thought that was the only way that she was going to be able to get rid of me without anyone suspecting a thing!", Leo said.
" Geulae, nugunga jal al-ass-eulgeoya. If I was you I would've just told them to kill her.", Yesenia said.
" Yeah I know. I thought about doing that but then I thought what good would that do? She needs to really suffer and think about what she did to me.", Leo said.
" Naneun neowa dong-uihanda.", Yesenia said as she nodded her head.
" Hey let's listen to some music! It's getting kind of dead in the water just standing around talking!", Melissa exclaimed.
" Yeah I agree! Got any songs that we can listen to Shelina?", Carmen asked.
" Yeah I got tons of songs Carmen! Here's one that Yesenia might know! It's from a band in her country!", Shelina said as she played the song. It was Baepsae by The Bangtan Boys.
" I love The Bangtan Boys!", Yesenia exclaimed.
" Oh yeah this is what I'm talking about! Let's drop that beat!", Melissa exclaimed as she began to dance.
" Melissa!", Leo interjected as she began to laugh. Her friends began to laugh as well.
" That's nothing Melissa, check this out!", Megynn exclaimed as she began to show off as well.
" Show off! Watch this!", Morgan exclaimed as she showed off some hip-hop dance.
" What is that you're doing Morgan?!", Shelina asked.
" Duh, I'm doing The Spongebob!", Morgan exclaimed as she continued doing the dance.
" That looks so cool Morgan! Let me try it!", Leo exclaimed as she tried to do it too but couldn't figure it out.
" How do you do this?! It doesn't seem as easy as it looks!", Leo exclaimed.
" What the hell are you talking about?! It's real simple Leo! Just copy what I do!", Morgan exclaimed as she went through it step by step. Leo caught on to it very quickly and just exploded into the dance.
" Oh yeah! Go Leo!", Shelina exclaimed.
" Yeah you got it Fordyce!", Melissa exclaimed as she started doing it too.
" That's Dr. Fordyce to you!", Leo shot back.
" Bailamos!", Kemdan exclaimed as he joined in with his friends doing the Spongebob.
" Let me get in on this action too you guys!", Carmen exclaimed as she joined in.
" Me three!", Megynn exclaimed.
" Should we join them Yesenia?", Shelina asked.
" Ne, ulineun syelli nahaeyahabnida!", Yesenia exclaimed as she nodded her head. The two of them joined in with their friends. They were all doing the Spongebob dance.
" Hey you guys, you forgot about me! Move over!", Dakota exclaimed as she joined them too. As they continued dancing Shelina switched the song to Clumsy by Fergie but decided that she didn't really want that so she switched it to Timber by Pitbull feat. Ke$ha. At some point as the night went on and everyone went home Leo had fallen asleep on the sidewalk. Moments later she found herself laying in the backseat of Leonard's car with her head against Sheldon's thigh.
" Are you ok?", Sheldon asked as he looked at her.
" Yeah I'm fine. How did I get here?", Leo softly asked as she slowly blinked her eyes.
" Leonard and I came out to find you after I got concerned when you didn't come back. We found you asleep on the sidewalk. Did you consume any alcohol tonight?", Sheldon asked.
" No I didn't. I was just having fun with my friends and I don't know I guess I just fell asleep.", Leo softly said.
" You're really lucky nothing happened to you. There's a lot of crazy sick weirdos out there that prowl around at this time of night looking for young women like you.", Leonard said.
" I'm not an idiot Leonard, I know.", Leo softly said.
" Let's just go home. I don't want to talk about that stuff.", Sheldon said.
Apartment 2A…
" Good night Leo. I love you.", Sheldon said as he was laying next to her in the bed.
" I love you too Sheldon. Good night.", Leo said as she kissed him before going to sleep. Sheldon stared at the picture of him and Leo together that was sitting next to the picture of Leo and Brady on the night stand. The smiling faces made him smile as he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning after breakfast Sheldon and Leo sat next to each other on the couch talking.
" What?", Sheldon asked as he saw his girlfriend staring at him with a smile on her face.
" I just love staring at you.", Leo said as she continued smiling.
" That's it?!", Sheldon asked.
" Not entirely.", Leo said as she leaned over and kissed him.
" Damn you woman!", Sheldon exclaimed as he threw himself into her deepening the kiss. Leo turned on the stereo and began to dance with him around her apartment. The song playing was Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield ( the ugly truth mashup).
' Dear Lord I love this woman so much! I want to spend the rest of my life with her! I'm just not sure when the right time would be to ask her! Maybe I will eventually talk to my mother before asking Leo's father!', Sheldon thought in his head as the two of them continued dancing around the apartment together. They continued kissing each other too as the sun began to continue rising outside over the city of Pasadena.
Omg! Sheldon's thinking about eventually asking Leo to marry him! Will he be successful in doing so or not?! Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
