Relationships with a Vulcan Physicist
Chapter 3- Regular, Anti-Monotonous Days
It was March 10th. A Wednesday. In preparation for the regular Halo Night, Belle and Penny were out shopping.
"No, Belle, get the small thing of milk. Remember, Leonard is lactose intolerant!"
"Right… I remember that now." Belle had been living in Pasadena for nearly 6 months, and still not entirely used to all of the gang's quirks.
"Oh, and Howard asked that we pick up some condoms for him and Bernadette…" Penny added.
"Gross! I guess they're back together, then?" Belle asked.
"Nope, Howard is going to try to put the moves on her." Both the girls laughed out loud.
As they checked out, Belle remembered they had to go to the Korean Market to get the good mustard for Sheldon.
"Welcome, your mustard is on isle 4." The staff at the store was familiar with all six friends, because they came so often just to get one item.

"Penny, is that smoke coming from the hood of your car?"
Before Penny could reply, the old, small car came to a sputtering stop.
"Shit. Sheldon was right. It's the engine. I should have had it checked long ago." The check engine light was blaring red.
"What do we do?" Belle asked.
"We get help." Penny pulled out her phone. "Leonard? Honey, my engine in my car stopped. Can you come get us? Or a tow truck?"
She snapped her phone shut. "They're on their way. Sheldon's mad about Halo night being delayed." This got a little chuckle out of the frightened friends.

Relief flooded the atmosphere when Leonard's car, followed by Mike's Towing Co., pulled around the bend. All four guys were packed into Leonard's small car.
"Thank ya'll so much!" Belle ran up and hugged Sheldon.
"It's no big deal…" Leonard trailed off.
"Yes it is. You said that you would probably get Thank You Sex tonight." Howard added.
"Don't say that in front of Penny!" Leonard, embarrassed, sputtered.
"It's ok, babe. Howard's going for Please Get Back Together With Me Sex." Penny held up the condoms she bought for Wolowitz at the store.
"I'm not embarrassed. It's true." Howard stated.
The gang packed into Leonard's car and drove home, while Penny's car was towed to the shop.

"We are 34 minutes late for Halo Night." Sheldon observed. "We can take 11 minutes out of play time and dinner time, and 12 minutes out of bathroom time."
"Thanks, Shel." Belle uttered as she flung herself into her designated spot on the couch, next to Sheldon's. She was the only one who at least pretended to appreciate Sheldon's math. They quickly passed out controllers, and divided into teams of three.
"Sheldon, Howard, and Raj, against Belle, Penny, and me." Leonard quickly decided.
"That's not fair! You can't have both the girls! They're way better than me and Sheldon combined!" Wolowitz complained.
"Fine. Sheldon, Howard, and Belle against Penny, Raj, and me. Does anyone protest?"
Raj whispered into Howard's ear.
"The minority in our party has to use the bathroom." Raj gave Howard a How-Dare-You-Insult-My-Race Glare.
"Wait till bathroom time." Sheldon dictated.

"That is so not fair. Belle has been practicing." Penny complained, as her cousin shot her in the head.
"Practice makes perfect." Sheldon stood up for his girlfriend.
"Besides, Shel and I grew up shooting things. We're from Texas, suckers!" Belle exclaimed as she hit Leonard with her Assault Riffle.
"Oh YES! Team Wolowitz for the win!" Howard yelped.
"That was never our decided team name," Sheldon pointed out, "I prefer Team Enterprise Without Capitan Kirk, making Spock-" He pointed to himself- "The team leader."
"Fine," Wolowitz agreed, "you can be Spock so long as I can be McCoy."
"Hah. I find it funny you would prefer to be the less educated medical doctor than an officer of some sorts." Sheldon added.
"But Bones is handsome." Howard contradicted.
"Exactly my point as to why your being him makes no sense." Sheldon rudely said.
Everyone laughed except for Howard, who appeared hurt as he clicked 'New Game'.
