Set at the start of season 5 and just a different take on what happened after Penny and Raj woke up in Leonard's bed and what might happen if they dated
All reviews are appreciated
Penny woke up with a raging hangover and an arm across her body pinning her to the bed, turning her head slightly she was surprised to see Raj and then even more surprised to find she was in Leonard's room, deciding the best course of action was to leave, she got out of bed just as Raj woke up
"Raj what happened last night, did we sleep together?" asked Penny
Raj's response was to shrug his shoulders as his selective mutism kicked in
"Seriously Raj, you are going to have to get that sorted out soon, if you can't even talk to me after we have been naked in bed together" said Penny
Raj just nodded and smiled
Penny left the room with her shoes in her hands, followed by Raj wrapped up in the duvet, they were to get a surprise to see Sheldon with Howard by the front door and Leonard slouched on the couch
"What's going on? Asked Leonard sitting up straighter in shock at seeing his ex girlfriend with one of his closest friends
"Its nothing" said Penny laughing slightly nervously and walking out of the apartment and towards her own.
"Raj are you going to tell me? Asked Leonard
"We got drunk and fell asleep together, that's all" said Raj
"In my bed?" replied Leonard
"Well I do kind of live here, now you are living with my sister" replied Raj
"Oh so that's what this is then, some sort of revenge?
"What do you mean"
"Well you hate the fact that I'm sleeping with your sister in your apartment and in your bed, so you are going to do the nasty with my ex girlfriend in my bed" replied Leonard, standing up, he found himself getting angry for some reason
"Leonard grow up, its nothing to do with that, we both got drunk and fell asleep that is all, I'm going to get dressed and leave for work" said Raj walking away but Leonard ran after him and grabbed him
"You bastard, you know how much I care about Penny and yet you couldn't wait to jump in there could you" said Leonard shaking Raj by the shoulders, Howard jumped in to pull Leonard away whilst Sheldon just stared in shock
"Leonard not everything is about you, you are seeing somebody else and you have no say on who Penny sees, in fact I am going to get dressed and go and see her straight away" said Raj
"You can't do that" said Leonard
"Just watch me" said Raj walking away
10 minutes later Raj was dressed and walked over towards Penny's apartment, he had found a bottle of beer in the fridge and was able to speak when she answered
"Penny I just want to talk to you if that's ok?
"I think that would be best so that we can clarify what happened last night, most of it is a blur" said Penny sitting down on the sofa with Raj
"Well we didn't sleep together if that's what you are referring to, but we did kiss and get naked together, I remember that much at least"
"Ok, how were the boys when you left?
"Well Leonard was mad but he has no right to be, you are not his property to be jealous over" replied Raj
"Especially as he is seeing Priya and she is doing her best to keep us apart" said Penny
"Penny would you like to go on a date with me? Nothing too serious though, you know I like you and I want to get to know you better"
"A date with you? Replied Penny in surprise
"Yes, I'm tired of being alone and I would love for you to just give me a chance, if you don't like how it goes then we can just forget about it" said Raj
"Ok why not, where and when were you thinking?
"Maybe dinner and then dancing tomorrow night?
"Sure it's a date" said Penny
"I will pick you up at 7 then" said Raj smiling at Penny
They both stood up and Raj leant into hug Penny and she responded by hugging him back and kissing him on the cheek, Raj left the apartment just as Leonard and Sheldon were leaving 4A
"Bye Penny, see you tomorrow" said Raj kissing her back on the cheek and going into 4a, leaving Leonard staring at Penny as Sheldon walked down the stairs
"Penny what's going on, why are you seeing him tomorrow? Asked Leonard
"Leonard it's not really any of your business, you are seeing Priya and I am free to see whoever I want" said Penny going back into her apartment, leaving Leonard none the wiser
Penny wasn't due at work until 6pm and at 1pm she received a skype call from Amy who was on her lunch break at work
"Hi Ames, how are you?
"Yes fine, Sheldon just told me what happened last night, are you ok?
"Yeah I am good, what did he tell you?
"Just that you and Raj emerged from Leonard's bedroom in a very dishevelled way and Leonard was mad about it"
"Yes well according to Raj we didn't sleep together but I think we came close, he has asked me on a date tomorrow night and I have accepted" said Penny
"Really, that is a surprise, bestie let me ask are you only seeing Raj because Leonard is seeing Priya?
"No of course not, why do you ask?
"Sheldon said that's what Leonard said he thinks is going on and Priya doesn't want you near Leonard" replied Amy
"Amy, I don't think that's what's going on, Raj isn't like that and its just one date, if it doesn't work out then no harm has been done"
"Ok I have to get back to work but call me after your date and let me know how it went" said Amy
"Sure, see you later Amy" replied Penny signing off
Meanwhile at Caltech, Leonard had gone to Raj's office to find out what was going on, he was still mad at Raj and Howard had gone with him to try and defuse any situation that might occur, Sheldon had decided he didn't care enough to come
"Raj we need to talk and you can go back home to your own apartment now as well" said Leonard
"I have nothing to say to you Leonard" replied Raj
"Did you know Priya is going back to India?
"Of course, she is my sister after all and I have always known that her stay here was only temporary" replied Raj
"Yet you couldn't tell me, I thought we were friends" said Leonard
"Leonard it's nothing to do with me, you will have to ask Priya why she didn't tell you and we are friends" said Raj
"Yeah right, friends don't do what you have done with Penny"
"Leonard I think you are being hypocritical here, you are sleeping with Raj's sister and even I know you don't go with friend's sisters" replied Howard
"Priya and I are in love though" replied Leonard
"If she really loved you, she would have told you sooner that she was going back to India, rather than leading you on and letting you think she was staying" replied Raj
"Are you saying she just used me? Asked Leonard
"As I have said, you need to talk to her, your relationship with her is nothing to do with me" replied Raj again
"Are you going to tell me what you are doing with Penny? Asked Leonard
"No and It's nothing to do with you, now if you would excuse me I have work to do" said Raj dismissing Leonard by opening his laptop and starting some work
"Raj, you better not hurt her that's all I will say" said Leonard looking red with anger
"You have no rights over her remember that Leonard, oh and close the door behind you" said Raj and Howard had to pull Leonard out the room
Raj started to think about the plans for his date with Penny, he wanted it to be special and he could more than afford special, he rang up a local limo company and organised a limo to take them around tomorrow night and he booked the best restaurant in Pasadena and text Penny to let her know the details of where they would be going
Next chapter will have Raj and Penny's date and depending on the reviews this may turn into a longer story or I might just end it after the date
