Hello, I have returned with a new story. This idea was given to me by a lovely guest reviewer and I adored the idea! I promise this one will not be as sad as the last one. I will try to keep it uplifting. I even attempted to make the beginning somewhat humorous. Also, I realize Sheldon might seem a bit out of character. I really tried to avoid that to the best of my abilities but with my ideas for this story, it seems kind of impossible to avoid at certain parts. You will understand later. Anyway, I hope you like it.

I own nothing except the OC character. Thank You.

Chapter One

Many people wonder what a day in the life of renowned physicist Sheldon Cooper would be like, or at least that is what he likes to think. What must it be like to go around every day with that brilliant mind stirring up a new formula or calculation? How could a person go throughout the day knowing they have so much to offer the world through their genius mind? It must be horrible for those of average intelligence he often thinks.

Well, a day in the life would start typically like this:

Awake at 6am

Breakfast

Educate Leonard on the drive to work (it's the least he can do, the poor guy knows so little)

Work and gain numerous praise for his contribution to Caltech (what would they do without him?)

Educate Howard at lunch (he only has a Master's degree)

Work a bit more (there is only so much he can give in one day)

Educate Leonard on the drive home (this should be considered community service)

Get the mail

Read letter from childhood friend he hasn't heard from in years

Have din-

Wait… That was new. A letter? A letter from a certain Clara Winthrop. That name sent an electric shock through Sheldon's chest. He hadn't heard from her since they were children. He had spent a summer abroad in Europe during college when he met her. She was a few years younger with large brown eyes, a delicate round face, and an exciting curiosity about her. Once, she convinced him to go on an adventure with her. They ran around in a park, fighting aliens and saving planets. It was wonderful. It was one of the only times he got to act his age.

"You okay Sheldon?" Penny asked, bringing him out of his reverie.

"Yes. I think so. Leonard, next Saturday we will be having a guest; an old friend of mine. I will take proper requirements from the roommate agreement and also send an email notifying you of her arrival." He acted calm and reserved until he made it to his bedroom, in which he couldn't take the beaming smile from his face.

Sheldon may have only met her in person once but they had corresponded through letters for years. Then one day they just stopped. He still remembers what she wore when they met, a dark purple shirt with two pink hearts, and her sleek brown hair pulled back by a headband. To an adult she would be considered adorable and precious. To him as a child, she was beautiful. He wondered why she had chosen to contact him now when they hadn't been in contact for well over 7 years.

"Oh Clara," he hugged the envelope to his chest.
