A/N: A little bit of silliness based on a scene in The Big Bang Theory episode 'The Lizard-Spock Expansion.' This is set in my 'Back To You' and 'Forever (May Not Be Long Enough)' AU time/storyline - which you don't need to have read, but it might make more sense as to why Molly's around :P Anyways, hope you enjoy :D

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock

"Pam wants to redecorate," Eric announced, walking into the lounge room to find Molly sitting on the couch and typing furiously on her laptop.

Molly didn't even look up, "Mm-hm."

"She wants someone to go with her to choose new furnishings," he continued, taking a seat on the couch.

Molly shook her head, still intent on her computer screen, "Oh no, I went shopping last time – it's your turn."

"Toss you for it?" Eric offered, pulling a coin from his pocket.

Molly looked over at him dubiously.

"Heads I win, tails you lose," he suggested, flipping the coin.

Molly caught it mid-air, "I don't think so," she said firmly, pocketing the coin and turning back to her computer.

"Then what do you suggest?" he demanded, "Scissors-Paper-Rock?"

Molly scrunched her face and shook her head, "According to the evidence players familiar with each other tie 75-80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes."

"What evidence?"

Molly ignored the question as she set her laptop aside and turned to face him, "I suggest Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock."

It was Eric's turn to raise an eyebrow, "You're kidding," he said flatly, "Spock?"

"Well, if you want to go shopping for curtains…" Molly said, turning away.

Eric gave a long suffering sigh, "All right, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock it is."

Molly grinned, "Ok, It's very simple. Scissors cuts paper," she explained with appropriate hand motions, "paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and—as it always has—rock crushes scissors. Got that?"

At Eric's nod they lined up their fists, "Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock – what?" Eric all but roared the last word as Molly merrily decapitated his 'lizard' with her 'scissors.'

"I win," she said cheerfully, moving to pick up her laptop.

"Best of three?"

Molly shot him an amused glance and sat back, lining up once more.

This time Molly 'vaporised' his 'rock,' "Nice work genius," she teased as she picked up her laptop.

"How do feel about best of five?"

"Enjoy your shopping trip, Eric," Molly replied easily.

"I could just order you to go," he threatened.

"You could," she agreed, focused on her screen, "but you're not my Maker so…" she trailed off with a shrug.

"As your Elder, you should obey me," he retorted.

Molly looked up at him innocently, "I thought you made it a point to never abuse your power?"

Eric narrowed his eyes, knowing he was trapped, "You will owe me for this, ma petite," he warned, getting to his feet.

"We had a deal," she protested, "besides, don't you want to spend some time alone with Pam?" she asked with a smirk.

"Picking out curtains isn't exactly what I had in mind," Eric replied through clenched teeth.

Molly shrugged a shoulder, "I'm sure Pam will reward you for your suffering."

Eric's eyes lit up and he was out of the room at vampire speed. Molly sniggered and made a mental note to go to ground before they came home.
