A/N: As a reminder, this is a little while after Howard's wedding. All other characters are not currently dating anyone because it makes things more interesting. Also, I need more reviews to keep the story going! Give me some truths and dares for the characters!
Sheldon gave Penny an icy glare as he chose his poison. The entire group was stunned into silence at the fact that she actually manipulated him into playing such a personal, spontaneous game (both of which are adjectives that Sheldon despises).
"Give me a truth." Sheldon said nonchalantly.
"Oh, so you think you're choosing the safe route?" said Penny deviously.
"Well, yes. I really don't care what silly, juvenile question you have to ask me, but choosing dare could lead to extensive peer pressure to do something inappropriate or-" he shuddered involuntarily, "unsanitary."
"Actually," said Penny slowly with a mischievous grin, "I was going to go easy on you if you chose dare. You realize that I have been playing this game since I was 10 and am a ruthless veteran at it, right?"
"Oh, please, like you could ask my brilliant mind anything that's hard to answer." Sheldon gave an exaggerated roll of his eyes, but then shrunk back from the fuming look in Penny's calculating green eyes. He was starting to get the impression that she was not bluffing.
Penny waited for another peal of thunder to finish and then spoke above the rain to be sure everyone in the room could hear. "Do you regret breaking up with Amy?"
Sheldon gave a long, annoyed sigh and readjusted in his seat. His friends leaned in, curious if he would actually give them a straight answer. "With all of my vast knowledge, it figures that you would be concerned with something as trivial as my love life."
"Just answer the damn question, Sheldon." Penny said firmly. Her arms were crossed and she pouted her lips out as she glared like she always did when she had a feisty attitude.
"Fine. No, I do not. I did not desire coitus, but soon it was all she wanted and I got tired of it. I will admit, at first I felt a void in my intellect from the lack of our stimulating conversation, but lately she has been very cordial to me and we have resumed our chats. Now that I have that back, I feel nothing akin to remourse."
"Wow, good for you, Sheldon." said Leonard, cocking his head with surprise, "I didn't know you two were on good terms again."
Howard leaned in towards Leonard and said "Yeah, it's only because she finally gave up and started banging Stuart."
"Oh dear, that doesn't sound like Amy!" Sheldon said with a look of shock, "Depending on what she's banging him with, she could be arrested!"
Howard rolled his eyes and pronounced loudly, "For God's sake, Sheldon, she's banging him with her-"
"Shut up!" hissed Penny and Leonard at once. They both looked at each other and then to Sheldon, curious if he caught on to the colloquial speech he was always so clueless to. Sheldon still had a confused look, but he was obviously trying to figure it out.
Finally he said, "With her what, Howard?"
Before Howard said something vulgar, Leonard stepped up to his roommate and said "They're having sex, Sheldon."
"Oh…" said Sheldon simply, for once at a loss for words. He looked away and furrowed his brow thoughtfully.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry." Penny cooed as she sat on the arm of the couch and squeezed Sheldon's hand.
"Thank you for your attempt at consolation, but it is not needed." said Sheldon coldly, "I released her from our relationship agreement and she is free to have coitus with whoever she wants…even if he is a loser."
"Right, anyways…" sighed Penny awkwardly, unable to process how much the news had really affected him, "It's your turn to pick someone, Sheldon."
Sheldon pursed his thin lips and stood, towering above everyone else in the room, "Rajesh." he finally addressed after scanning the room studiously, "I believe I am supposed to ask you 'truth or dare.'"
Raj made the sign language symbol for "D." He figured a dare from Sheldon would probably be pretty lame, and due to his selective mutism, he wouldn't be able to answer a truth with Penny in the room, anyway.
Sheldon had an unusual look of frustration on his face, and suddenly Raj realized that whatever emotions he felt about Amy he was probably about to take out on him.
"Raj, I dare you to…"
A/N: Alright, readers, let's hear some good Raj dares! Let's try and have it be one Sheldon would actually come up with as well.
