I promised you guys another oneshot collection, didn't I? : ) Here it is! Each chapter will be different ways that Penny could propose to Leonard. Like Just The Girl, they will all be relatively short.

"This was a really good birthday," Leonard said, smiling at Penny as they climbed the stairs.

She rested her head on his shoulder as best she could while ascending. "Aw, I'm glad," she said affectionately. "And I have another present for you upstairs. I don't wanna brag, but it's kinda the greatest present ever."

"Oh yeah?" he said, grinning at her. "What makes you so sure?"

"Well," she said, "it's definitely something you want." She took one of his hands as they finished their climb, hanging onto it as she unlocked the door to her apartment and led them inside.

"So," he said, swinging their arms, "what's my greatest present?"

Penny didn't answer for a second, still hanging onto his hand, and then pivoted around in front of him and smiled. "How about me?"

Leonard cocked his head slightly, confused. Penny, still smiling, let a moment pass before slowly dropping toward the ground and settling on one knee.

His breath quickened, his throat tightened, and when he felt her hand tighten around his he realized it was shaking. Penny noticed his reaction and smiled slightly, then cleared her throat. "I didn't want to do this at the restaurant because you first asked me out in this room and you asked me out on the date that got us back together in this room and this felt more right than a restaurant, despite the science fiction theme. It's my turn to start something in this room. So Leonard Hofstadter," she said, looking up into his eyes, "will you marry me?"

Leonard was silent for a moment, trying to figure out how to answer without his voice breaking. After several seconds it became clear that that wasn't going to happen. So instead of speaking, he dropped to his knees and pulled her into a hug, letting out a shaky breath as the tears escaped his eyes. He felt her arms come around him, and they didn't speak for several moments. Then Leonard leaned back and put his hands up to the side of her face. She was tearing up, too. "You know I will," he said tearfully, giving her a kiss. "You know I will."
