Chapter 2

"What am I gonna do?" contemplates Penny who sits down on the couch between Amy and Bernadette.

"Whatever you want to do, we'll support you Bestie, won't we Bernadette?"

"Of course we will"

"You guys are the best"

They have a group hug. Meanwhile next door the guys are playing Mystic Warlords of Ka'a with Wil Wheaton filling in for Leonard.

"Thank you for filling in for Leonard Wil" says Sheldon.

"You're welcome"

"Mountain Elf" says Howard who lays down the relevant card"

"Hellhounds" continues Raj

"Colossal Serpent" says Sheldon

"Rotting Zombie"

"Zandor, Wizard of the North, I win" says a happy Howard.

"So what do you guys wanna do now?" asks Wil.

"Well usually after we play Mystic Warlords of Ka'a we watch TNG" explains Sheldon.

"Oh right, do you mind if I suggest an episode for us to watch?"

"Go ahead"

"How about Final Mission?"

"But I wanna watch Ménage à Troi" complains Raj.

"We could always watch both" suggests Howard.

"Let's do that, Raj, you're closest put in the disk"

In Penny's apartment Amy and Bernadette are still trying to assure Penny that everything will be ok.

"What about Leonard, I can't tell him, he'll just come straight back and I can't let him do that, I can't let him throw away a great scientific opportunity"

"You could always not tell him"

"Amy's right, you could just leave it a surprise until he gets back, I mean you'll only be 20 weeks then and nowhere near ready to give birth"

"Okay, but there's one person who I'm more concerned about right now"

"And who's that?"

"Sheldon"

"You see that's where you got a problem"

"Amy, your his girlfriend, what do I tell him?"

"Well you need to tell him, he's gonna need as much time as possible to get his head around it, but I don't know how to tell him, can't help you there, sorry"

"I think I know someone who can help us"

Back with the boys, who are watching the final scenes of Ménage à Troi when Picard promotes Wesley who then walks onto the bridge in full Starfleet uniform.

"You know I always enjoyed filming with Patrick, he's so good to be around on a set, he just sets you at ease"

When Wesley walks onto the bridge in a proper uniform Wil makes the comment "You have no idea how happy I was to be out of that grey space suit, it was so uncomfortable"

When the episode ends Howard asks "This is the fan in me asking, but did you guys ever get up to any pranks or anything on set?"

"Not really, we didn't get up to many pranks, but there was this one time we cracked an egg on Patrick's head, we were more musical than pranky. Now go on Raj change the disk, Final Mission is one of my favourite episodes".

"Sure"

While watching the episode Wil makes comments again and at the end of it he says "I was so sad to leave, but I wanted to concentrate on my studies"

The next day Penny, Amy and Bernadette knock on a door and woman answers it - its Mary Cooper, Sheldon's mom, the girls are in Texas.
