Chapter 9

Newlyweds

A few weeks later….

Penny is climbing up the stairs to her apartment after a long week. Leonard won't be home tonight as he has scheduled some time with some equipment at the University. I wonder if Amy would be up for a girl's night, she thinks. I'd really like to unwind and relax.

Penny reaches the landing between her apartment and Amy's but is hesitate to approach the door.

Finally, she shrugs and goes over and knocks on Amy's door. Loudly. "Amy? Are you in there?" she yells. "It's Penny".

Penny waits. There is no way in hell she is going in there uninvited after everything she's seen recently.

"Come in" yells Amy from inside. "It's open".

Penny grabs the door knob but is still hesitant. "Are you sure it's okay to come in?" she yells.

"Yes" says Sheldon from inside. "We are just working on our super asymmetry calculations on the white boards" he says. "That is all" he adds with a huff.

"Ok" Penny says. "I'm coming in now".

Penny opens the door with her eyes shut. She hesitantly opens them and looks around. It's true. Amy and Sheldon are working behind the white boards set up behind their couch.

Penny lets out a breath she didn't even know she was holding and moves over the boards.

"Amy" she begins. "Leonard is working tonight and I wondered if you would like to have a girl's… AHHH!" Penny screams and turns away from the boards.

"Son-of-a…I swear to god, Sheldon, I'm going to…, UGH!" Penny turns to leave storming out of the apartment and slams the door behind her.

Sheldon moves from behind one of the white board wearing nothing but a confused expression.

"I wonder what her problem is" he says. "We were just working on science." He shakes he head. "Huh. Who would have figured Penny would be such a prude". He goes back to working.

Amy moves from behind the other white board too, wearing nothing but a smile.

The End.
