Chapter 3

It was two weeks before the end of the month and Penny barely had enough money in the bank to buy a Happy Meal, much less pay rent. She kept begging her agent for an acting assignment because she really did not want to borrow any more rent money from her neighbor Sheldon Cooper b...

Chapter 4

"Okay," said Penny, "I'll take the assignment. When do I start?" "10 a.m. on the Monday morning of next week," said the agent. She handed Penny a sheet of paper. "Here's a list of things the client doesn't want to see." "Wait a minute," said Penny. "You mean I can't just show...

Chapter 5

"Come on, come on, come on," Penny said. "Just a few more feet. Just a few more feet. We're almost there. I don't care what that stupid 'check engine light' says; I know you can do it." Unfortunately, Penny's car disagreed with her. Just a few yards away from the front gate of B...

Chapter 6

Seriously? Penny thought. A full-frontal pose? Penny looked behind her at the road that was located just a few feet away from the front gate and tried not to imagine a car coming by just as she dropped her dress. Or worse yet, two cars. Or else a bus. With tourists. Camera-using...

Chapter 7

As Penny reluctantly turned around and bent over to appease the woman on the TV screen, she found herself really beginning to hate acting. Is it really worth it to jump through this many hoops just to get one assignment? Sure, it paid well, but it was hardly less humiliating than...

Chapter 8

"No robe?" asked Penny. "But what am I going to wear when I get out of the shower?' "The master does not expect you to wear anything," said Magda. "You are going to be naked for the rest of the day, anyway, he says. So you might as well start now." "In that case, can I get some...

Chapter 9

People had been ridiculing Penny's acting abilities for years. So Penny could not help but wish that each one of those self-styled acting critics -- especially Sheldon Cooper -- was right here to witness how she managed to keep a smile on her face while inwardly using every cuss...

Chapter 10

"Oh, my!" said Penny as she suddenly opened her eyes. "I must have nodded off while I was worrying about how I was going to pay my bills. Which is just as well because that was some dream I had. I'm sure glad it wasn't real. Oh, well. I guess I might as well bite the bullet and g...

Chapter 10

Come on, Mr. Bee, thought Penny. Fly out again. But the stubborn bee refuses to listen to Penny's mental request. Instead it stubbornly stayed inside of her as if it was going to stay building a hive or something. Now this is embarrassing, thought Penny. How do I get the bee ou...

Chapter 11

Come on, thought Penny. Surely my hand can't be that stuck. Perhaps if I give it one quick tug. Okay, perhaps if I give two quick tugs. Okay, perhaps if I yank on it really, really hard... Penny kept trying until -- through some miracle -- her hand finally became loose. Unfortu...

Chapter 12

"Are you drunk?" said the blonde woman who had blocked Penny's fall. "Are you stoned? Are you so incompetent that you can't even do a simple task like standing still without falling over? This job I gave you isn't rocket science, you know? I have a good mind to fire you here and...

Chapter 13

"Do we really have to listen to Neil Diamond again?" said Sheldon as he got into Howard's car. "Again?" asked Howard. "You never let me listen to it at all." "Well, that's because I don't want us to get mistaken for gang members," said Sheldon. "Sheldon, Neil Diamond is not th...

Chapter 14

Once she got past the first hour, Penny's stint as a living statue didn't seem so bad. Indeed, it seemed a bit weird how quickly she got used to just standing on a platform with all her goods on display, so to speak. She kept expecting someone to say something about the size of...

Chapter 15

Oh, great, thought Penny. Now Howard Wolowitz has a picture of my naked body on his camera phone. What more could happen to me? "Hey, Howard," said Sheldon, "taking only one photo doesn't seem very scientific to me. But then again, you went to M.I.T. so you obviously don't know...

Chapter 16

Just that moment the same blonde woman who had tormented Penny earlier came into the room and asked, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "I'm just going to swat this fly on this statue," said Leonard. "Would you swat that same fly if it were on the _Mona Lisa_?" asked th...

Chapter 17

"And then what happened?" asked Penny's friend Bernadette Rostenkowski. "Well, all hell broke loose," said Penny. "The blonde lady started screaming at me, Leonard started screaming at her, Howard and Raj kept using their damned camera phones... Then I found out that the blonde...
