Hey! Okay, so, y'know that other story I was writing? Raj's Girl? I deleted it because I didn't really know where the story was gonna go next and I had this one in mind...I don't see a lot of Howard/Penny pairing stories, so I decided to write one of my own...here is the first chapter!
...
Howard was close to tears as the car drove away. "I can't believe she just left," he said. "Aw, it's ok, sweetie, you'll see her again!" Penny tried to cheer him up, it wasn't working, though.
"Dude, you'll find another girl just as good as Bernadette!" Raj said, also trying to cheer Howard up.
Bernadette had just left for Manitoba, Canada and had said she probably wouldn't be back for several years, at least. It had to do with family or something. Of course, when Howard had heard this - just a few months ago - he had been heartbroken. He really couldn't understand why she was leaving.
"Why don't we all go over to The Cheescake Factory and have something to eat?" Leonard suggested. Everyone agreed that would be a good idea, so off they went.
The whole time they were there, Howard was just sulking. He didn't even order anything. No one did except Sheldon, actually. "I fail to see why you are sulking so much, Howard, she was just-"
"I think it's time to go, Sheldon!" Amy interrupted him promptly, as not to hurt Howard's feelings any more. She would also miss Bernadette, obviously Sheldon would not.
So the group headed home for the night.
