I am so tired these days I don't know how anyone can possibly not see it. But, I will continue my quest to bring stories to you. These Big Bang Theory Episodes intervals will be a little shortened because I am done with my summer assignment, however I will also be writing a Vampire Academy story. Read lavishly, Indulge Diligent-LongLoreLover(2012)

Sheldon, Amy, Leo, Howard, and Raj sat on a couch, trying to play a game of five way chess. The way it worked was two teams of two, and Sheldon by himself(he insisted) on different levels. Each level needed to be conquered, and currently, Sheldon was winning. "Fascinating." Sheldon observed as he he watched Raj move a knight. Raj looked at him and asked, "What is it Sheldon?" Sheldon shook his head and continued playing. Raj moved his bishop and Sheldon said, "Oh boy." Raj had enough. "Sheldon what what what!?" Sheldon shook his head and Raj threatened, "Comment on my moves again, and I'll hit you with my Kama Sutra; it's a big book." Howard took the opportunity to say, "Raj, when you have sex, are the women more pleased by you, or what's in the book?"

Raj gave Howard the middle finger while Leo laughed and asked, "Howard, how is Bernadette?"
Howard gave a thoughtful look. "She's good, but her team was quarantined again."
"Oh my god what happened?"Amy asked.
"One of the scientists ignored protocol and brought in cupcakes without proper procedure while they were working with Ebola."
"But Bernadette isn't authorized to work with Ebola. That's a federal offense Howard..."
Howard turned to Sheldon. "Who said she was working with Ebola?"
"You just did."
"No I didn't."Howard scoffs.
Sheldon doesn't catch the hint. "Howard I have an eidetic memory that allows me to remember everything from the time I was born. You said Bernadette was working with Ebola."
"Hey Sheldon, read my lips."
"Alright."
"Bernadette. Is. Not. Working. With. Ebola. I didn't. Say. Anything."
Sheldon looked at Howard and said, "Please repeat that."
"What?"
"I didn't catch what you said the first time."
"I spoke clear as day!"
"Yes I heard you but you told me to 'read' your lips, and you speak too strangely for me to have caught it on the first go. Also, some days are not clear."
"Forget I said read my lips."
Sheldon looked shocked. "You just want me to forget everything today don't you?"
Howard ignored him and excused himself. "Sorry everyone but I cannot be in the same room with him."
"If it helps Howard, I've been saying the same thing about you for years now."Sheldon retorted, and Howard left to the bathroom. Raj went to the fridge to get another beer as Amy asked Sheldon, "Where's Penny?"
"Oh, she moved back to Nebraska."
"...What!?"
"How many times am I going to have to repeat myself today?" Sheldon asked no one in particular. Leo watched with amusement as Sheldon stood up and said, "Checkmate Leo." He crossed his arms triumphantly, the smile growing smaller as Leo smiled. "Sorry bro, but I don't lose." Leo brought a bishop from the right corner and took Sheldon's Queen. "Check Sheldon."
Sheldon's eye twitched and he looked at Leo. "You...you tricked me."
Leo winked and quoted, "Is it my fault Elliot if the ship was built with a faulty navigation system?"
"I told you never to repeat that story to anyone..."
"What story?" Amy asked, and Leo replied, "I'll tell you later babe."
"Excuse me, but you cannot be calling my girlfriend babe."
An awkward silence, and then Leo asked Amy, "He wouldn't happen to have you bound in a relationship agreement by any chance?"
"Yes."
"Damn."
"Amy?"Sheldon asked, "What is going on?"
"Well see Sheldon.."
A knock interrupted her. Raj strode to it and was about to open it when Leo jumped behind the couch. "Leo what are you doing?"Sheldon hissed.
"Cool a gasket bro. I'm just hiding so I can scare our guest."
Raj nodded approvingly and opened the door, to see a most unexpected face...
