I got this idea in the back of my head late at night, and decided to try it out. It does turn to Shenny in later chapters, but also turns a bit smutty.

The gang walked into the Cheesecake Factory and had just sat down at their usual spot when they overheard Penny giving the check to the people at the nearest table.

"And remember, if you fill out this survey online, two of you could win the chance to visit Switzerland to see the Large Hadron Collider for free!" she said, with faked enthusiasm.

She then turned and faced the group of guys, who now had shocked faces.

"Are you talking about THE Hadron Collider in THE Switzerland?" Howard asked, his eyes wide.

"Yeah," Penny replied. "It's the new way to get people to fill out our surveys. Believe it or not, there are a lot of scientists who eat here."

She took their orders (not like they had to say anything, she had already memorized their specials) and went back to the kitchen to fetch their drinks. Sheldon turned to Leonard.

"You know, Leonard, by the rules of the Roommate Agreement, if you win that trip to Switzerland, you'll have to take me. And I have been dying to go since last Valentine's Day, if you remember."

"Yes, I remember." Leonard replied. How could he not remember? Sheldon nearly kicked him out of the apartment for deciding to take Penny on the trip, before both she and Sheldon got a terrible flu. After that, he spent a week in Switzerland with Raj, who seemed to love the hotel they were in.

Sheldon took out his laptop. "I'm reserving a hotel room in Switzerland just in case." He stated.

"Why don't you actually try doing the survey?" Raj replied.

"Because I don't know the web address nor the requirements for the survey." Sheldon answered.

The other guys rolled their eyes. This was going to be a long contest.

Two months had passed and the wait was finally over. The Cheesecake Factory had announced that at exactly 2:30 that afternoon, the results would be emailed to the winner. Sheldon waited at 2:29 at this computer, highly anticipating the email.

"Sheldon, come on. You probably didn't even win" Leonard groaned.

"No, no, no. They have to have have chosen me. I'm the most deserving!"

Leonard rolled his eyes. 2:30 came, then 2:31, then even 2:45. No emails.

Sheldon stood up and walked across the hall to Penny's apartment. He stood at the door.

Knock knock knock. "Penny"

Knock knock knock. "Penny"

Knock knock knock. "Penny"

Penny opened the door. "Yes, Sheldon?"

"I didn't win." he moaned, looking down at the ground.

""Well, it's completely impossible for you to win right now, Moonpie."

"Why?" he asked, too upset to even notice her making fun of his nickname.

"Because I already won."
