This is more of a little experiment that I'm fiddling around with. I apologize in advanced for the lack of 'intelligent' talk throughout the story. Obviously, I am not an individual with a PhD in the sciences, I'm just a high school student soon to graduate. This is for entertainment purposes only.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Big Bang Theory, or their characters. I only own my OC, Doctor Cylestia 'Lesti" Rose.

Doctor Sheldon Cooper stood in front of his white board, contemplating the long equation written in red in the very middle. He had stood there longer than he should have, partly because of his inability to efficiently solve it, and the fact that Leonard was not home yet with the dinner for the evening. Howard and Raj were soon due to arrive, ready to stuff themselves full of pizza on the Thursday. Penny would hopefully not be joining them tonight due to her shift at The Cheesecake Factory. The woman needed to learn how to support herself.

Leonard suddenly walked into the room, slightly out of breath and closing the door behind him. He collapsed onto the couch, Sheldon turning on him. "Where have you been? Two hours have passed since you were supposed to be back with the pizza."

Leonard rolled his eyes, a smile playing on his face. "I was helping the new girl move in."

"New girl?" Sheldon repeated. "And what makes said girl 'new'? Is she new to the apartment, the community, the university, the country, the continent, the American lifestyle?"

"She's new to the apartment." Leonard sighed. "Moved into 5B, right above Penny."

"Oh, well at least management has finally found a poor victim to live in 5B while Penny spends the majority of her time being overly loud and annoying directly underneath. It's a wonder we can tolerate it."

Sheldon glanced at his board before shaking his head and looking back at Leonard. "So do you have dinner?"

"No." He answered, standing up. "I was with Cylestia for the last two hours."

"Quite a unique name." Sheldon contemplated. "But that is still not an excuse for you to return with no food. Please don't tell me you're going to hit on this woman like you did with Penny when she first moved in."

Leonard stared at Sheldon before standing and heading towards the kitchen. After lugging up heavy boxes and furniture, with the help of Cylestia and her moving crew, along with Sheldon bombarding him, he needed a drink.

"Do you know anything about this woman?" Sheldon asked.

"She's a psychologist from England who got transferred to work at the new insane asylum they're opening."

"She works at an insane asylum?" Sheldon exclaimed. Crazy people were very messy and full of germs indeed. He never particularly found individuals with mental illnesses to be interesting. If anything, he felt slight pity of them, seeing as they couldn't help missing out on so much intelligence in the world.

"Yeah, you should be admitted." Leonard muttered, pouring himself a glass of wine.

"I am not crazy!" Sheldon sneered. "My mother had me tested."

A soft knock came from the door and Sheldon whipped to look at it, not recognizing the sound at all. His friends had distinct knocking patterns, and Penny just walked right in. This person was definitely new.

"It's open, come on in." Leonard called before Sheldon had a say in it. The door opened and a woman with long black hair and bright hazel eyes stepped through, closing the door softly behind her. She was clad in a simple black tank top, dark denim shorts and black heels to match. Sheldon compared her style to Penny's, however it was not exactly the same. "Done packing?"

"Yes, thank you." She said, the sound of her English accent rolling off her tongue and drifting sweetly into Sheldon's ears. He had to admit, the sound was highly pleasant and something new to him. "Your help was unnecessary Leonard, you already knew the moving men were there too."

"Anything to help a lady move in." He smiled. "Would you like a drink?"

"Sure." She smiled then turned her attention to Sheldon. Hazel eyes met blue and they looked at each other. "Doctor Cooper, it's an honour to meet you. Many people talk of a child prodigy where I am from."

"Yes, of course they would." Sheldon said smugly. "And where is it, exactly, you are from?"

"Coventry, in England." She answered and extended her hand. "Doctor Cylestia Rose."

Sheldon eyed her hand before slowly extending his own and clasping hers, shaking it up and down once before letting go. Surprisingly, he did not feel the sudden urge to sanitize his hands. "Doctor? Leonard, you never told me she was a doctor."

"I didn't know that myself." Leonard said, walking over and handing a glass of wine to Cylestia. "I just thought you had a Master's."

"Oh no, I have my PhD." She smiled, taking a sip, her red lips pressed onto the glass lightly, her tongue pushing off it after she swallowed. "I would be devastated if I only stopped at my Master's."

"Tell that to Wolowitz." Sheldon muttered and sat down in his spot.

"Well, I just came to thank you again for helping quicken my moving process." Cylestia smiled, looking at Sheldon from the corner of her eye. "Shall I buy you two dinner?"

"Why him, he didn't help." Leonard muttered and Cylestia giggled, the sound like bells to both men.

"I don't mind." She insisted, taking another sip of her drink.

"Raj and Howard will be coming over soon, I don't think you would like to buy dinner for them, you haven't met them." Sheldon piped up. "Although this would all be unnecessary if Leonard had just went to pick up the pizza like he was supposed to. It's throwing our entire Thursday night off track."

"I don't mind buying you dinner." She repeated, downing her wine and setting the glass on the table. "Really."

"No, no, no." Sheldon pulled his wallet out, shuffling through the bills and handing them to Cylestia. "Here. You buy the amount for Leonard, myself and yourself, and here is the rest for our friends."

"You don't have to do that, Sheldon."

"Yes, I do." He insisted and shoved the money in her hand. "Tonight we eat pizza from Giacomo's. Make sure mine has sausage, mushrooms and light olives. I will be quite disappointed if you don't."

"Not to worry, Doctor Cooper, I will take extra measures to insure your order." Cylestia nodded, smiling in assurance. "Any preference for you, Leonard? And for your friends?"

"Pepperoni is fine for the rest of us." Leonard replied.

"Well, I'd better get changed out of these slightly sweaty clothes and get the food." She said before waving off to the two and disappearing out the door. Sheldon watched her leave and once the door shut, a smile crept onto his face.

"What are you smiling at?" Leonard asked with a raised brow.

Sheldon looked at him, immediately settling into an emotionless expression. "She calls me Doctor Cooper. You should learn a thing or two about respect from that woman."
