p class="MsoNormal"Sometime after everyone got off work, they all met up at the comic book store. Bernadette had Halley and Michael in a double stroller that was covered up./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Why exactly are we stopping here?" asked Amy in a frustrated voice. A few of the guys who were already there looked surprised to see that many members of the opposite gender in the store. Stuart was no exception as he tried to fix a display at the counter./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Well, there's a new Hellboy issue out that I really want to get and it just seemed like a nice place to stop before going to dinner," replied Leonard./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Lisa, I don't know how your day was, but Penny paid for me to spend a day at a local spa, and it was totes awesome!" exclaimed Leni./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"She was happy," said Penny, looking nervously at two guys who hadn't taken their eyes off the group./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /spanI wish I could go to a spa, I'd probably smell better, might attract more customers, maybe even girls," commented Stuart. Leni then walked over to the stroller that Howard and Bernadette had and asked if she could see the babies. Bernadette shrugged and partially removed the covers./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"They're so adorable, I'm sure you two are very proud!" Leni replied./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Sleep-deprived is what we are, but we are very proud," said Bernadette replied./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Don't feel bad, you can talk to my parents anytime and I'm sure they'll tell you what it's like for them," said Leni./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"She and Lisa have eight siblings," Howard explained to his wife. Bernadette's eyes widened./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Oh, look second-oldesht shibling! They have this old Ace Savvy comic book, Lincoln would love this!" Lisa exclaimed from one corner. Leni rushed over and sure enough, there was the second issue, original copy of Ace Savvy./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"That particular comic book is twenty dollars," said Stuart. Leni and Lisa looked at each other with thumbs up./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"We'll take it, Linky will be so happy!" said Leni/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Y'know what? I'll pay for it, my treat," said Leonard. He knew he could get the friends and family discount at this store and knowing that with a family that size, expenses had to be rough. Besides, it just seemed a nice thing to do. None of his siblings would have bought him a comic book just for fun when they were growing up./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Will you throw in this Ninja Turtle action figure as well?" asked Leni, picking a nearby one up./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"No problem!" answered Leonard. Suddenly, who should walk into the store except:/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Wil Wheaton!" exclaimed Sheldon, with a slight glare./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Hello everybody! Hey Stuart, I'm here to pick up those comics I ordered through you," replied Wil. Stuart nodded and reached somewhere beneath his counter to pick something up. Lisa's eyes seemed to widen as she rushed up to Wil./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Professor Proton! I am a huge fan of your show! Granted, it's shilly and childish ("Thank you Lisa," said Sheldon) but it'sh great watching something that makesh individualsh of my age interested in science! I'm even making a point of having my baby shishter watch it!" said Lisa, as she shook Wil's hand./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Well thank you, and you are?" said Wil with a huge smile./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"This is Dr. Lisa Loud and she's over here doing research at Cal Tech with me," said Sheldon./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Well how about that? Say, I was getting ready to film a new episode tomorrow? Do you think there's a chance that the university would be willing to let her take a day off to be a guest star, it would be fun!" suggested Wil./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"I'm sure that could be arranged," said Leonard, with a bit of a mischievous grin./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Leonard, what is it that you find entertaining about that idea?" asked Penny./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"If it makes Sheldon cringe, it's so much more fun for me," he replied./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"I'd love to!" said Lisa excitedly./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Let's do a selfie, Professor Proton (if you don't mind me saying that's an unusual name) you can piggyback Lisa if you want!" suggested Leni, who then posted her picture on Instagram. Sometime after they got their treasures and got Wil's contact so they could meet up with him in time to do the show that Leni got a message on her Instagram account./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Oh, Lincoln's asking if we can get him an autograph! I didn't realize he would like Professor Proton too!" she exclaimed./p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Somebody doesn't know Trek," Howard whispered to Raj./p
