And here's the last one, the epilogue. I've had this in my head ever since I started writing the first chapter. Hope you will enjoy this last chapter!

Oh, and I realised I've only said this in the first chapter, but I'll say it again, to wrap things up in a way, I guess? I don't own any of the characters. Probably just Claire. Have fun! :D

Leonard pulled the car to a stop beside where Penny stood on the sidewalk, waiting for him to take her home as usual. He stepped out of the car and walked around it, greeting her with a soft kiss on the lips.

"Hey, honey." He said with a soft smile.

She returned it; even after all these years she has never managed to resist his charming smile. "Hey."

He moved his eyes to a little below her neck, gliding his hands under the necklace she still wore after the past 8 years they have been together. He brushed his thumb across the little snowflake, slightly reminiscing about their times together.

"What's wrong?" She asked, now a concern look on her face.

"What? No, nothing." He replied, the necklace now sliding out of his palm.

"It's never nothing when you touch the snowflake." She looked down at the object hanging on her neck, and reached her right hand up to caress it a little as well.

"No, I was just thinking about how long it's been for us, you know. Can you believe that we've been together for so long? I'm kinda proud of us." He said, brushing a few strands of her golden hair back.

"Yeah, me too." She replied quietly, smiling at him.

"Here, put this around your eyes." He produced a black strip of cloth from behind his back, offering it to her.

"What? Why? Am I being kidnapped?" She joked, taking the black cloth from him.

"No, but I have a surprise for you." He answered, hands going around her to help her with the knot.

"Oooh. Yay!" She was beaming at him, and all he could think of is how beautiful she is, even while she was blindfolded.

His hands went to both sides of her upper arms and he leaned forward to peck her on the cheek. "Here." He opened the car door and helped her inside, strapping the seatbelt around her. Then, he went around to his side and buckled himself up, starting the car.

"Where are you taking me?" She questioned, obviously curious.

"It's a secret. But I think you would really like it." He turned the car out into the main road. "Just rest a bit okay, honey? This is going to take a while."

"Alright." She relaxed further, her head edging a little to the left.

"Okay, we're here." Leonard announced, the car slowly coming to a halt. He shifted it back to park and switched the engine off. Penny could hear as he reached for something in the back seat. It sounded like a bag of some sort, a backpack probably.

Penny reached down to feel for the seat buckle, and with a click she released herself. Leonard noticed and reassured her, "Just stay there honey, I'll do all the work."

Penny smirked, and even with a blindfold he could see the look she had in her eyes. "Well, that's not something you hear all the time."

He smacked her playfully, and immediately her hand went to where his had just hit her. "Ow!" She exclaimed, mocking hurt. She tried to swat him back, but being temporary blind she couldn't see where he was, and he eased himself out of the car before she could do so.

Soon after she heard her side of the door open, and his arms went around her to help her out. He closed it after her and locked the car, then led her towards wherever they were going. She heard something creak as he pushed them past it, and even without looking the place felt very familiar to her.

"Do I know this place?" She asked, as she carefully took her next step, making sure not to fall over even though Leonard was already supporting her with his arm firmly secured around her.

"Sure do."

After taking about another twenty steps, he stopped and she heard him turn to her, as he asked, "Here? Or go straight?"

"Here's fine."

He walked them for about another twenty or so steps before she heard the sound of sweeping, probably him cleaning the seat for them, and told her that it was now okay for her to remove her blindfold. She obeyed, and even in the darkness she could make out immediately where they were. How could she not? It was where they first met after all. She turned to him after he had set down his backpack, and was now giving her one of the biggest smiles he could manage. She looked at him as though she couldn't believe it. "Are we even allowed in here?" She asked.

"Yeah, I asked for permission. I was one of the best students here after all. It was just to be sure, the back gate is never locked anyway."

They sat down on the bench that they would always use to sit. "God, I miss this place." She laughed. "Never thought I would say that, remember how much we dreaded it here?"

"Of course." He agreed.

There was a moment of silence as they leaned back, glancing up at the stars glimmering in the night sky as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Honey?"

"Hmm?"

"This was where we fell in love." He told her.

She nodded.

"This was where, I discovered you, an amazing woman." He pressed his lips to her temple. "So kind, so strong, so beautiful, so perfect."

"Aww." She smiled up at him. "It's where I discovered an amazing man too."

"And you are still all those things. I love you for that."

"I love you for you too." She said wholeheartedly, kissing his cheek.

"Do you remember when you asked me when I started discovering my feelings for you?" He asked, still glancing at her with adoration.

"Yeah, you wouldn't tell me, but you promised it to be ten times better when you do."

He smiled at the memory. "Yeah. Well, I was captivated by you the first time we met. With no doubt, my feelings started growing stronger with every meeting we had."

"Really?" She exclaimed, surprised. "Wow, it took you even longer than I did to admit your feelings."

"I guess that doesn't really matter now, because Penny?"

"Yeah?"

He never completed the question. He lifted his head up for the first time and glanced straight ahead to where the fences stood. She followed his gaze and was confused at first because nothing happened, but then something started glowing and it caught her eye. Then, another ball of light lit up, followed by another, and another and another, until they formed what appeared to be the letter W. Then, it was followed by an I, then two Ls, and by the time the message got across she simply stared at Leonard in shock, and what she said next hadn't been what she had intended to say.

"Aren't you supposed to be down on one knee?"

Now he was the one to look at her in shock. "Crap." He dropped down on one knee and fished out a little black box, opening it to reveal a beautiful engagement ring. "I can't believe I forgot to do this. And it's the most important step of the process too. You were just too mesmerising." He admitted.

She smiled, and removed the engagement ring, sliding it into her ring finger. She nodded and leaned forward to kiss him, and followed by a small peck after they have broken apart. "How did you even manage this? You are so amazing, I love you so much."

But before they could answer a squeal was heard from the distance. "Light bulbs, and that would be Claire. She's here for a few weeks, and naturally when I told her I was going to propose to you, she pestered me to let her help with something."

"Ah, I see." She let out a small laugh; it has been too long since she had seen Claire. Claire was running towards them now, and when she stopped in front of them she reached forward to both of them for a hug.

"Haven't seen you guys in so long! And look, you are more in love than ever!" She exclaimed.

The couple laughed, and Penny asked, "How've you been, Claire?"

"Oh, really good! Engaged too, a few weeks ago." She revealed the engagement ring that rested on her finger.

"Oh, congratulations!"

"I could say the same to you." She laughed, pointing at Penny's ring. "Anyway, I'll leave you guys alone. Thanks for letting me do this Leonard, if I have the time I'll call you guys and maybe we could go for some coffee or something."

"My pleasure." Leonard responded.

The couple waved goodbye to her as they watched her walk away. When she was gone, Leonard asked her, "See, ten times better right?"

"Way more than ten." She paused, then turned to Leonard again. "When we arrived, you asked me if I wanted to go straight or stay here. What if I had said go straight? Where would we have gone?"

"Cafeteria."

"Why? I thought you hated that place."

"Well, there's something else I haven't told you."

Penny raised her eyebrows.

"This is where we truly met face to face for the first time, but when I first saw you, it was in the cafeteria. I don't know if you know this, but I was staring at you. You were pretty pissed at your friends, but still, you looked so beautiful." He grinned at her.

"Oh my god, that was you?" She exclaimed.

He nodded, still smiling. "Anyway, never mind that. Do you still remember the very first time we met?"

"Every single detail." She replied to his question.

"You want to do it again?"

"What?" She looked to him in confusion, and saw him pick up his bag and removed the contents of it. It contained some clothes which she realised were the clothes they were wearing on that day.

"Let's do some acting." He spoke, passing her clothes to her.

"I love you so much." She told him as she pulled on her clothes, which still surprisingly fit her.

"Aw honey, I love you too." He kissed her lightly before she stepped out of her seat. She turned and walked up the steps, getting to push through the back door, and readying herself to relive the beginning of their fairy tale.

She threw one last smile at her fiancée, who now had a book in his hands, and pushed through the doors, standing behind it as it closed. They were starting from the beginning again, except, this time, she knew exactly where she was going to end.

So, I guess that's it. It makes me sad that this story has come to an end; I really had a lot of fun writing it. :D Again I have to thank my two reviewers, zhalen565 and 5Mississippis, who have been with me since the start and reviewing every single chapter, thank you so much. :) And to all my reviewers, thank you. :) I really appreciate every one of them and they all make me smile. :D Anyway if you have either read or reviewed or done both of those things, you wouldn't be leaving here without a thank you. So, thank you. xD To be honest, I'm really much more of a science/math person than one who could write. I never had much faith in my writing, and to get over 100 reviews and so many views is pretty overwhelming for me.

I don't know if any of you still remember from the first chapter where I had Penny notice someone staring at her and did a double take, but then the person was gone. I wonder if anyone guessed it to be Leonard. xD It was just a little something I dropped in there. :D

Also, another thing that really makes me sad is that season 6 is coming to an end. I'm not spoiled, but knowing the synopsis it seems like we are get some good Leonard/Penny stuff. I don't know how I'm going to go another four months without my L/P fix. I always dread this time of the year. This season has gone by too quickly.

Anyway, enough of me. If another idea strikes me, I will write it. So, see you guys soon, I hope. This has been a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoyed it. :D
