I don't own The Big Bang Theory or the characters.
Leonard is walking down the stairs with his friends Howard and Raj. They are going to get the pizza for dinner, since its Thursday. They are talking about the new Black Panther movie and about Infinity War. They're talking about the fans theories and some of their own theories. They continue the conversation in the car. Leonard is hearing them talking and from time to time says a couple of things that makes the guys argue with each other. Leonard keeps thinking about the conversation he had with Penny and Sheldon the night before.
The night before
"No! I'm not doing it!" Penny says.
"Please…" Sheldon begs "I promise I won't say another word about it."
"No! No way. I'm not doing that with you!" Penny says. "Especially, since we're alone."
Sheldon thinks for a minute.
"What if we don't go alone?"
Leonard shows up in that moment
"You two don't go where alone?" Leonard asks, while he gets to Penny, sits on the on the arm of his chair and kisses his wife who is sitting there.
"Watch Black Panther!" Sheldon says "Amy doesn't want to go with me and I was asking Penny to go with me but she says she won't go"
"Oh…" Leonard says. Truth was he and Penny were going to watch the movie some day during the weekend. It was going to be date night, doing something that they both enjoyed. Since Penny liked those kind of things they've been seeing all the movies together. Penny going with Leonard was also a way for him to go without Sheldon. "Actually, since I'm not watching the movie, Penny said that she won0t watch it either"
Sheldon gets up from his spot
"Why won't you watch the movie?!" Sheldon asks, indignant
"I don't want to"
"You. Don't. Want. TO?"
"Yeah. I guess. I'll watch it. Just not for now."
Sheldon opens his mouth. He cannot believe what he just heard his best friend say. Thinking better, Sheldon thinks. 'Ex Best Friend'
"Well. Very well. If you don't want to watch a movie… then we are no longer best friends. Or friends, for that matter."
Leonard looks at him, trying to find some evidence of him lying. He couldn't find any. If Sheldon was lying, it would be easy to find out.
"You are kidding right?"
"No. I'm not. My best friend would want to watch the movie the day it came out. He would be excited about said movie for weeks. He wouldn't just 'not want to watch it now'. Goodbye Dr. Hofstadter" With that, Sheldon leaves the room.
"You didn't have to lie to him Leonard." Penny says
"It's fine. He will end up forgiving me" He said, smiling. He sits on the couch and looks at his wife, smiling "He can't live without me"
Back to the present
Leonard stops thinking about what happened. Leonard was excited about the movie and couldn't wait to see it. He thought Sheldon would say something to him when he came in for breakfast that morning but all he got from him was a 'Good morning, Dr. Hofstadter'
Looking at Howard and Raj, the two friends were just listening to music and stopped the conversation about the movies. They finally reached their destination and left the car. The three men waited for the pizza, paid and went back to the car. The super hero conversation got back, when the man on the radio reminded people about Black Panther movie. They were getting close to home and Leonard told Raj to leave the car and get the pizzas upstairs since he remembered Penny and Bernadette saying they were hungry. Raj nodded and left the car.
Leonard couldn't find any parking space so he turned the car around and went to see if he could find a space somewhere else. Later he would put his car closer to the building, when the gang left. When he was parking he got a text from Sheldon.
"Hey Howard, can you read that?"
"Don't know…" Howard says. Leonard looks at him.
"Why not?"
"What if that text is from Penny? Don't need to see anything-"Leonard interrupted him
"Relax. It's from Sheldon. Read it"
"Okay."
I'm sorry for yesterday. You are my best friend, again.
"Don't know what happened yesterday, but this text was sweet. Especially since Sheldon sent it"
"I heard two texts messages"
You forgot the sauce. Go get it.
"Yep. I knew it." Leonard sighs. "Get out of the car. I'll get the sauce."
"Don't need. I'll go with you."
"Fine. Answer Sheldon. Tell him I'll get the sauce if he says please."
L: I'll get the sauce. Magic words?
S: Please. Get me sauce.
Howard puts down the phone and Leonard goes to get the sauce. They start to sing to a song on the radio and Howard keeps texting Bernadette.
"Apparently, Sheldon was talking about how you never remember the sauce and Penny yelled at him. Stopped talking." Howard says and then both men laugh imagining Penny yelling at Sheldon "I don't know how you can live with her"
"You live with Bernadette!"
"That's true. But I love her you know?"
"Yeah. I love Penny too, so I get it"
When Leonard stops talking, a truck who passed a red light hits them. The last sound Leonard hears before he passes out was God Must Have Spent A Little More Time on You. Penny's ringtone.
Read&Review
Don't know if this was ever made but things will be different now. Things will change. Couples will change in the Alternative Universe in Leonard's head while he tries to get back to the real world. While that happens he will start to hear voices. Stay tuned!
Important: The alternative world will be written in italics while the normal world is written in "normal" letters. So there's no confusion, I will write whether I'm talking about the Alternative Universe or not, although it will be noticed in which one we are.
This chapter is short, I know. It's just a presention of what is going to happen.
