The night was cool and crisp, the mood was cheerful, however; dark and eerie thoughts resided in the minds of some of the party goers. Thoughts so dark that it could make even the bravest man's skin crawl.

"Great party!" Penny called; she was surprised that the party that had to be approved by Sheldon was going so well. However, she was still a bit angry at Sheldon for lecturing her on not wiping off her shoes before she entered the house, she supposed that she should be used to it by now but sometimes he really got under her skin.

"Thanks." Leonard replied; the party was his idea even though he had to run every idea by Sheldon which he detested.

"This is the first party I've ever been to, I remember one time in middle school everyone got invited to some girl's party except me." Amy said.

"If it makes you feel any better, I was only invited to two parties when I was in school and one of the parties was my dad's co-worker's daughter." Bernadette said trying to comfort her friend. She too was in the unpopular crowd unlike her other friend Penny.

"I guess it does make me feel a little better but at least I'm getting to experience the thrills of popularity now." Amy said with a light smile. She had to hold back a sigh though when a slow song came on, the heart wrenching pain of never being asked to dance at a school dance cut through her like a knife. She didn't know why she subjected herself to that torture all during middle school and high school, she told herself it was for the food, but she secretly hoped that someone would finally asked her to dance. That never happened though.

"Would you like to dance?" Howard asked Bernadette with a smile.

"Sure!" Bernadette said jumping up happily and running off to go dance with her husband. Amy finally let out the sigh that she had been suppressing; she knew that Sheldon would never ask her to dance. She was about to get up to go get a piece of cake off the refreshment table when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Want to dance with me?" She found herself looking at Raj. She thought about what she should say; she felt happy yet nervous and somewhat guilty. What would Sheldon think about her dancing with someone else? Then again, Sheldon hadn't asked her if she wanted to dance and he didn't say she couldn't dance with someone else.

"Sure." She said smiling and she went off to go have the first dance of her life.

Sheldon could feel fury boiling in his stomach as he watched Amy dance with Raj, he didn't understand what these feelings were, it's not like he had wanted to dance. If anything he should thank his friend for keeping his girlfriend entertained with trivial things like dancing and what not. He was relieved when the song finally ended and Amy walked away from Raj.

"Thanks for making my night." Amy whispered as she walked away from Raj. He smiled, he had never imagined himself liking Amy but he could feel his feelings start to emerge for her after they had danced. He had once liked Bernadette, but she was married to his best friend now and she had shown on several occasions to be a raging lunatic. He knew it was wrong to pine over another guy's girlfriend, but this guy was Sheldon, so he didn't feel all that bad. Amy needed someone who would treat her like a real boyfriend should, not Sheldon Cooper.

"I said I'll be back in a few minutes, I just have to use the restroom." Howard told Bernadette trying to keep an annoyed tone out of his voice. His wife had become really possessive over him; she wanted to know what he was doing, who he was doing it with, and what time he'd be home. She had even gotten to where she was taking a record of his trips to the bathroom. When he broke the routine, she'd demand to know what he was doing and she'd start yelling at him and accusing him of lying until he someone convinced her that he was actually telling the truth. He loved Bernadette but he sometimes wondered if he had rushed into marriage with her, he knew however that he wouldn't change it for the world.

Bernadette sighed as she watched her husband supposedly go to the bathroom, she knew something was going on, and she suspected it had to do with his friend Raj. She didn't know why she was so upset; she was doing the exact same thing. For some odd reason, she was a bit upset that he hadn't found out yet, she figured that if he really cared about her then he would have started asking questions. He never did though, and that made her conclude that he was doing the same thing to her.

"Took you long enough, the party is almost over." Bernadette scolded when Howard had finally made her way back over to him.

"Sorry, I had a bit of trouble with the plumbing." Howard said with a small laugh.

"Yea, like your friend's penis in your ass." Bernadette muttered under her breath.

"Attention everyone, the party is almost over so if you would come grab your stuff so no one will trip over it." Sheldon said into a microphone. Everyone then started gathering up their stuff.

"Okay now leave." Sheldon said after everything was collected.

"It really was a great party." Penny said kissing Leonard before walking out the door after all of her friends.
