He won the Nobel Prize and they were back at the apartment. While this was meant to be the happiest day of his life, he couldn't help but feel miserable and looking at his friends faces he wasn't the only one. Well except Leonard and Amy that is, no they got everything they wanted. Leonard got the girl of his dreams thus tiring her into a raging alcoholic, everyone sees this except him and Amy got him, while changing everything about him.

He never wanted this. The Nobel Prize? Well duh but everyone that's important to him, especially his true love, Penny, miserable? No.

It might come to a shock but he loves Penny but by the time he realized his rue feelings about her it was too late. She was already on her way to marrying Leonard and he was already stuck dating Amy. Oh how he wished he could turn back time and do things differently.

WAIT...

HE COULD!!

If he remembers correctly and he does, back when he was younger and obsessed with time travel and the works, he wrote a theory. And if he was exact with his older brain all he had to to was fix a few things, move some things around, take two things out and add new equations and EURIKA! This just might work. Now he just needs to talk to Howard immediately but in private.

"Sweety, you ok over there? You've been mumbling to yourself for a few hours there." Penny, my sweet Penny, said.

He soon realize that he went into a science rabbit hole. While it might seem like a few minutes of thinking was really a few hours. He saw that there were Chinese food in the table, oh goody, and Penny was now handing him his container. He receive it from her hand while answering.

"I'm fine Penny, I was just thinking of new theories since I need new ones to focus on now."

"You just got the Noble Prize like a few hours ago! Do you really need new theories right away?" She asked surprised. Before he could answer her Leonard interrupts and answering in a condescending way.

"Were scientists Penny, you might not understand but once we've proven something we need new theories or new materials. It's what makes us feel alive."

He said while handing her a drink which she gladly chugs down after he said 'you might not understand' and stands to get another, god he hates Leonard right now. He's turning penny into a alcoholic not only that but a raging one. Everyone can see it but we don't say anything because we're afraid of what will happen if we do. That's why his theory has to work, he want to give Penny a better life. One without Leonard. While another answer would be to kill him, and he could in many ways and 13 of them won't even point his way, he can't because Leonards affects on Penny is all ready done, he destroyed her life. Leonard destroyed her chances of her acting career, she had one and like me getting a Noble Prize Penny could've gotten a Grammy but he was to jealous making her feel bad about her acting thus ruining it, her education, again he got jealous and made he feel dumb making her give college up and he almost made her give up her work as a Pharmaceutical Representative because she was making more money than him. Like honestly, as much as I love Beverly she really did a number on Leonard.

Sometimes he felt like Leonard planned to make her an alcoholic. Maybe he planned everything and that's why I'm stuck with Amy while he had Penny. He wouldn't put it past Leonard really, some say he was just one science experiment short of becoming a super villain but people forget Leonard is already a villain when you look at it from another angle. Manipulation, rape-he gets Penny drunk enough she doesn't know left from right and up from down before engaging in coitus, stealing and other things they've past off. Oh my god, he's living with a super villain. Well lived, oh god now Penny is living with a super villain! He's got to talk to Howard very soon, how come he's never stopped to think about this before now.

"SHELDON! Let's go!" Amy, the gorilla, yelled.

"Oh God, woman did you have to yell?" I asked irritably.

"Well I've been calling you for the past couple of minutes, we have to leave. Bestie and Leonard needs to sleep and so do we." She said while trying to be coy but I knew that she wanted coitus. And to bad for her but he was not having coitus with her even if she begged and she has but he felt disgusted just sleeping in the same bed as her, he just couldn't especially with what he finally realized about Leonard and her in a smaller scale.

————————————————————————————

It took some time but he finally got Howard alone without it being suspicious. He wasn't worried about the other finding out cause he thought they'd gladly go back in time with him if asked but he couldn't have Leonard or Amy sniffing on his tail about this. That's why he never wrote anything connecting to his theory about this, kept everything in his mind equals no evidence.

It took two in a half months but he finally got a chance and all he did was sign Amy up for a conference in New York and coincidentally he also signed Leonard up for a conference in New York at the same time. They were important conferences and they couldn't back out since it wouldn't do they're careers any good if they didn't go. They'd be gone for months if he did it right and he did. Giving himself plenty of time to convince and possibly build the machine and convince his other friends to go back in time with him, he hoped.

"So what did you wanted again? And by did it have to be so secretive coming here?" Howard said puzzled.

You're probably wondering were we are at this point. We're at a storage facility that an hour away from Howard's house in the direction of the north, the facility isn't under my name and he paid anonymously to someone to pay in cash for me so it wouldn't lead to me, just in case. He did this because once he realized Leonard was a super villain and Amy was one too in a smaller scale he checked the house for bugs, found them, checked 4A also, found a lot, and went to Howard's house to check, again he found some. It made him realize nothing was safe so he used emergency cash that he told nobody about not the one that he made sure everyone new about while pretending I thought no one knows about but the secret secret even the CIA wouldn't find it if searches one. He used it and bought the storage units, well units but were using this one for now.

"It's simple really, remember the theory I was mumbling about after I won my Noble Prize? Well I perfected it and I need your help." He answered.

"Ohh perfect Sheldon needing Howard's help in something. Oh this is gold, should probably tell the news about this." Howard said jokingly.

Usually if Howard said this in the past he wouldn't get that it was a joke and give him a strike but now that he considered Howard as one of his best friends he realized he wasn't jealous but that's how Howard is when he's nervous.

"As much fun as that would be this is more important," and he started to explain to Howard what he realized after he won the Noble Prize and how miserable everyone is. Howard tried to interrupt and say how he and Bernadette were not miserable but he laid down the facts and he finally admitted the truth. When they finally got past that he started to explain his theory in detail and why he needed Howard, what the machine consisted of what he needed and finally could it be done in a few months preferably before Amy and Leonard came back from New York.

It wasn't a surprise how shocked Howard was. Come on TIME TRAVEL! And Sheldon perfected it with a chance of it working 99.998% it was better than just having a theory and not knowing how to go from there.

"My best friend just cracked time travel and he want my help in building the time machine..I need to sit down, are you getting woozy cause I'm woozy." Howard said quietly. He let Howard process what was said. He looked at his wrist watch and saw that they've been talking for around two hours and counting the time it took to get to the storage, they've been there for about three hours and counting.

He tried talking to Howard again after half an hour for his opinion of what they talked about. Once Howard finish being surprised he was all for it especially since they made a plan to tell the rest on the group when they're done building the machine and give another month period the get everybody on board and to make a plan as a group of what they will do before they went back in time. And Howard promised that this had to be a top secret situation and not even Bernadette could know yet and if he needed an excuse they'll say that Sheldon came up with a new theory and he needs Howard to build him a machine to prove it or not. It's the truth but as the same time not the full truth so it wouldn't really be a lie and everything would go great if nothing else.
