3rd POV

After Georgie and Mary returned home, they were greeted by Missy's tears, and Georgie bore all the damage inflicted by Missy. "Where have you been?! I thought you were gone!!" Missy cried, hugging Georgie tightly.

Veronica had returned home after eating pizza with the rest of the cooper family. George says that Georgie and Mary will be back soon and tells Veronica to go home before her family gets worried.

Veronica was a little reluctant to go home but she nodded her head and obeyed George's words to go home.

Missy continued crying in Georgie's arms while scolding him. "You know it was Mom who wrote that letter, right?" Georgie said, glancing at Mary. He wanted to transfer the damage Missy was causing onto Mary.

Missy turned to Mary, who looked away, "Weren't you the one who said it was fine to leave without taking them along?" Mary said nothing else and walked away to put down her car keys.

"What?!" Missy yelled into Georgie's ear, then looked at him, his lips twitching because of Mary's actions. "...You didn't take us either," Sheldon's voice interrupted as he stared at Georgie. "Where exactly did you go?"

Georgie put Missy down and replied, "I met Miss Fenley and one of her acquaintances," glancing at Missy. "Well, her acquaintance wanted me to be their first musician." he said with a grin.

"That's great! So, how was it?!" Missy asked, immediately stopping her tears. "Miss Fenley? Wait... their first musician?" Sheldon inquired. Missy also seemed to realize this.

"Well... she's just starting a music label company. Miss Fenley and Miss Rosie are college friends," Georgie explained, heading to the kitchen. As he passed the TV room, he noticed three empty beer cans on the table. "...You drank again?" Georgie asked, looking at George.

"...It's not mine…" George replied softly and looked away, trying to focus on the TV.

"They're his." Mary said, earning a sharp glance from George. "Why didn't you tell us you were leaving?" George asked.

Before Mary could say anything, Georgie interrupted, "It's Mom's fault." He looked at Missy. "I asked her to drive me, but I told her we should wait for the others. You know what she do? she got excited and grabbed my hand and pulled me along." Georgie said with a sigh.

"What?!!" Mary glared at Georgie, unable to believe what he was saying, visibly upset. "I—"

"But it's okay. I just talked to them and didn't sign anything." Georgie quickly added, not giving Mary a chance to speak.

"That's good, because you should take a closer look at the contract or agreement you want to sign before you sign it." Sheldon said and felt a little interested about the contract agreement.

"Oh ho, do you think you can do it?" Georgie asked, looking at Sheldon. "You know, we can't afford a lawyer... can you handle it?"

"..." Sheldon stared back at Georgie. "What do I need to do?" he asked, still holding his gaze.

"It's simple... just read through the agreement and see if there are any loopholes or traps," Georgie explained, narrowing his eyes at Sheldon. "I don't trust them enough to sign the contract just yet, even though one of them is my own teacher... You're the smartest person in this house, so I want you to handle this. Can you do it?"

Sheldon stared at Georgie for a moment. "I need to study this law and the music industry first... give me a few days to study." he said and left for his room.

Georgie nodded and smiled. "Is that really necessary? We can just hire a lawyer for this." George said, looking at Mary and Georgie.

"Can I come too?" Missy asked, giving Georgie puppy-dog eyes.

"Of course, we'll all go together," Georgie replied, glancing at George. "And of course, we'll hire a lawyer, but I want Sheldon to experience this. It's good for him—it'll teach him to take responsibility for what he does in the future."

Mary looked at him with a hint of sadness. "Oh, poor boy... he'll be buried in books because of you."

"I agree with Georgie..." George said, then leaned closer to Mary and whispered, "...How much does a lawyer for this kind of thing cost?"

Mary shot him a look, and George pouted in response before leaving the room.

3rd POV – Future

"Why did you say that?" Leonard asked Sheldon, catching his attention.

"Your sister is really... pretty and soft... there's no way she'd hit us" Howard said, his tone grossly exaggerated. "…well I want her to hit on us..or sitting on me like a queen!..." and smirking.

"Not her... well, she might hit you too... but Rebecca!" Sheldon corrected, staring at them. "She's really scary..." he added, his body shivering slightly at the memory.

"....." Leonard looked at him, while Howard seemed unconvinced. "Sheldon, she's 170 pounds. There's no way she could do that to me." Howard scoffed.

"You guys don't understand... they are... dangerous!" Sheldon finally said after finding the right word.

Howard laughed it off, but Leonard asked seriously, "Why?"

"Rebecca is her bodyguard and her assistant for a long time... you know, the first time I saw her was when I was 11 years old," Sheldon said, sitting in his usual spot on the sofa.

He stared at Howard. "Do you know what that '170-pound' woman did?"

Howard, now intrigued, leaned in. Even Leonard was paying close attention.

"What?" Howard asked, waiting silently for Sheldon to continue.

"The first time I saw her was at my brother's stu—office. She threw a guy down during a sparring match with her judo technique," Sheldon said. "Bam! The 240-pound guy was flat on the floor while Rebecca stood over him." Sheldon added, clapping his hands for emphasis.

Howard, now a bit unsettled, muttered, "...Pfft, are you kidding me? No way that happened..." He leaned back, trying to appear relaxed.

"Of course I'm not kidding. My mother taught me never to lie, and my brother taught me to be responsible for my words. I'm not saying this to scare you, but I don't want anything to happen to you two."

Leonard, taking Sheldon seriously, asked, "Why? Nothing has happened to us, even though Howard... hit on your sister." He subtly threw Howard under the bus.

"Hey! You did it too!" Howard accused Leonard.

"Guys!" Sheldon interrupted before their argument escalated. "It's not my sister or Rebecca you should fear... it's my big brother!"

"What? Is he going to kill us if one of us dates your sister?" Howard scoffed, and Leonard nodded.

"…Maybe?" Sheldon said uncertainly. Howard and Leonard waited for Sheldon to say 'Bazinga', the word he usually uttered when joking or pulling a prank.

But the word didn't come out of Sheldon's mouth.

"…Are you serious?" Leonard asked cautiously.

"…Hmm, maybe not. Maybe he'll just beat you guys up" Sheldon replied nonchalantly and shrugged his shoulders.

"….." They were speechless at Sheldon's statement.

Meanwhile at the Mall

"So Penny, tell me about yourself." Missy said, glancing at Penny, who was walking beside her. Rebecca trailed behind them.

"What? What do you want to know about me?" Penny replied, looking back at her and then at Rebecca. "Are you just going to keep following us from behind?" Penny asked Rebecca.

"Yes, Miss Penny" Rebecca replied, resuming her watchful gaze.

Penny found the situation odd but decided to ignore it, turning back to Missy.

"Well… I grew up in Nebraska, a small town outside Omaha. Farm queen, you know—grew up on a farm." Penny said with a bit of a joke, but Missy just nodded, making Penny feel awkward.

"Anyway, popular girl who dreams of becoming a famous actress by moving to California. You know, a life of glamour and camera flashes."

"I see..." Missy nodded, deep in thought.

"What about you?" Penny asked, sensing Missy's lack of emotional response.

"Well, we grew up in Texas—my whole family and I. We grew up in Medford, Texas, a small town in East Texas. And yes, I understand small-town life. My neighbor, Billy Sparks, had a small chicken coop." Missy said, chuckling a little as she recalled her childhood. "He gave me eggs from his farm as a gift."

Penny seemed intrigued, "Oh… You had a fan even as a kid," Penny teased, nudging Missy playfully.

Missy chuckled at Penny's playful demeanor, "He's our dumb neighbor… but he's a nice guy."

The two of them entered a nail salon, chatting non-stop. Rebecca occasionally answered Penny and Missy's questions stiffly.

"So what happened to him?" Penny asked.

"I don't know. Well… I don't know what he's doing now. Maybe my brother knows?" Missy replied, unsure of what became of Billy Sparks, their neighbor.

"....." Penny looked at Missy seriously. "You always say 'my brother.' I know you're not referring to Sheldon… Who is he?"

"My brother" Missy said calmly.

"....." Penny looked at her with a tired expression. She wasn't as bright as her 4A neighbor, but she understood when someone was saying, 'That's not your damn business' with their body language, so she decided not to press further.

"Alright..." Penny said, changing the subject.

When they finished at the nail salon, they wandered around the mall, trying on clothes. Missy mentioned that she would buy Penny an outfit as a thank-you for being Sheldon's friend.

"What do you think?" Penny asked after trying on a few outfits.

When Missy insisted on buying her a dress, Penny initially tried to decline, but Missy argued with a more reasonable excuse: "You'll wear this to impress directors and producers." However, Missy hadn't anticipated that the dress Penny picked was for a country chick!

"You look beautiful." Missy said with a smile after watching Penny spin around.

"Thanks… but I think that dress is more beautiful than this." Penny said, eyeing another dress.

Missy nodded and looked at Penny.

"I think something simple and elegant suits you better." she said, selecting a few outfits.

"Okay!" Penny said enthusiastically after seeing the clothes Missy had picked. "It's like shopping with my real sister!" she added, grinning at Missy.

"Huh… sure." Missy sighed but also smiled at Penny's remark. Missy glanced at Rebecca, and they both smiled at each other, shaking their heads at Penny's antics.

"My brother is right…" Missy muttered.

"Yes" Rebecca replied. Although Sheldon's friends were a bit odd, she admitted that they understood and accepted him.

"I think Sheldon will return to the company after a few years… My brother said he wouldn't return until he had a Nobel Prize in his hands…Or he played him and want him back, I think he'll be wrong."

Rebecca remained silent as Missy spoke, listening intently. Rebecca knew their family history well since she had been with them for quite a while.

"When Sheldon left, my big brother said he wasn't allowed to use anything provided to the company… but he just loves his family too much. He continues to monitor and help Sheldon without him knowing."

Missy took a sip of the champagne offered by the clothing store, swirling the glass in her hand, and fell silent. She was simply rambling about Sheldon and Georgie, and with Rebecca by her side, she didn't think it was a problem.

"Ahhh!" Penny's voice startled them both.

When Missy stood up to check the dressing room, Penny emerged and looked at Missy. "I remember you!"

"…Oh dear…" Missy muttered, rubbing her temple.

"You're Princess Missy!" Penny exclaimed.

"Where's Georgie?! Can I have his autograph?!" Penny grabbed Missy's hand, staring at her with hopeful eyes.

"Ugh… He's not here…" Missy said, trying to free herself.

"What?! Where is he?! He hasn't sung in ages! Does he still write songs?! I love all his music!!" Penny exclaimed, speaking rapidly and staring at Missy.

Rebecca also tried to calm Penny down and helped free Missy from her grasp.

"Alright! Alright! Calm down, Penny!" Missy said after Penny wouldn't stop talking.

"Huff… huff… huff…" Penny caught her breath, watching Missy sit back on the couch.

Alright, they were in the VIP room of the store and had their own privacy inside.

"Okay… since you know my identity, here's the deal: you won't say anything about this, okay?" Missy said, handing Penny champagne, which she drank all at once.

"But I want to see Georgie!" Penny replied.

"He's not available for now!" Missy told Penny, making her disappointed.

Seeing Penny's disappointment, Missy sighed and gave her another piece of information.

"Maybe he'll be at the audition there later…" Missy said, lighting up Penny's face again. "Really?!"

"But I'm not really sure about that, okay… he might come, or he might not. Don't get your hopes up too much."

Missy's words made Penny disappointed again, but she now had hope about seeing Georgie.

"Alright! I'll do my best!" Penny said, her newfound determination blazing.

Missy sighed and looked at Rebecca, who smiled awkwardly at the whole situation. "…Well, do your best…" Missy said, receiving a nod from Penny.
