Looks like it's just you and me

Leonard stared at the ceiling. He didn't know exactly how to take the situation he was faced with.

Two Sheldon-free weeks, a dream come true of course. Instead of him, Texas could deal with Sheldon instead. But it was bittersweet. At his parents' insistence, Raj had gone to India for a fortnight. Raj had a feeling it was just to meet prospective girls, but he went anyway. Howard had tagged along, just to see how Indian girls were. That just left him, Leonard, all alone.

"What do I do?" he asked. He had already been to the comic-book store, he had seen all the sci-fi films out, all six of the Star Wars and played on World of Witchcraft. However, after a few days filled with nothing but aliens and superheroes, you get sick of it. And the teenage boy in Slovakia with the killer sword and goblin avatar was seriously annoying.

"I can't hide in the virtual world forever," thought Leonard. "Hey, Penny's off today! I'll go see her." Getting out of bed, Leonard stopped.

"Hey...it's never actually been just me and Penny. There's been Raj, albeit silent. Howard's there, being annoyingly flirtatious. Sheldon's there...being Sheldon." He sat back down on the bed and sighed in desperation.

Two hours later, after working up the courage and rehearsing his lines, Leonard knocked on the door. Penny answered it, and she smiled.

"Hi Leonard! Is everything alright?" Damn, thought Leonard. What do I say?

"Hey Penny," he replied, as coolly as he could." Looks like it's just you and me."
