Sheldon Swifties XLII: "All Hopped Up…"

Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved bits in my Buffyverse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.

Disclaimer: All is Chuck's…

"Wait?...Where's Penny?" Sheldon stares…

"Penny…" sigh… "Sheldon, I hate to have to tell you but…Penny's…Gone…"

"Gone?...Leonard?...What do you mean, gone?...Oh…Did she finally get a decent acting part thanks to her fine work in that thing we saw about the oddly named streetcar?...When will she be back?..."

"Oh…Sheldon…" Amy, sobbing…

(Damned sorry for Kaley but at last…A chance to use my dramatic skills, not seen since that very special episode of "Blossom"…)

"She won't be back, Sheldon…" Leonard, sighing again…Tears in eyes…

"She's…Gone…"

"What?...What do you mean, gone?..."

"I mean…" pause… "She won't be coming back because…She can't…"

(What, really?...Stare…

Jim, didn't you get the memo?...Stare…)

"A hopper fell on her, Sheldon…I'm sorry…"

(And sorry for you, Kal…But hey, like our mutual dating life after we actually went splitsville, life goes on…And I'm glad I'm not in CBS' black book)

"But on a high note, Prya's coming back…And I hear she's much nicer and much more into me and all of us than ever…"
