Three hours later

"Hey Sheldon."

"Hello Leonard, how did your date Stephanie go? Did I mention how pleased I am that you're seeing her again?"

"Yes you did, and the date was going extremely well until she got paged for an emergency surgery."

Leonard plopped down into the chair next to the couch and rested his head on the cushion. Looking up he spied something hanging from the overhead light.

"Sheldon, what happened?'

"Why Leonard, whatever do you mean?"

Leonard pointed upwards and asked, "Please tell me that's not one of Penny's bras, what did you do?"

"Leonard, she touched my food. It just escalated from there."

"Sheldon, I thought we talked about this, you shouldn't be taking and throwing her clothes around."

A sound caused him to turn around , it was Penny emerging from the bathroom.

"Oh, hi Leonard! How was your date?"

"It was good, it was good. I have to apologize for Sheldon's mistreatment of your clothing, and I'm sure he will rescind any strikes he's handed out tonight."

"My clothing?"

"Apparently your brassiere has become entangled in the overhead light." said Sheldon innocently. "Here, I'll get it for you."

As he handed Penny her bra, he grinned widely.

"Well, I better head back to my place, it's getting kind of late. Goodnight guys."

They both said in unison, "Goodnight Penny."

"As she headed out the door she turned and said to Leonard and winked, "You don't have to worry, I didn't get any strikes, and I made it all the way to second base."
