Chapter 11: The Wil Wheaton Connection

Penny, Amy and Bernadette arrive at the club and there is already a long line outside of people waiting to get in for the grand opening. Amy and Bernadette frown sadly when they see all the people.

Bernadette: "Oh no, we'll never get in now. Look at that line."

Amy sighs exasperated assuming her birthday night is officially ruined now.

Amy: "I told you two we should have skipped dessert!"

Penny: "Don't panic Ames. Leave it to me."

She confidently walks straight up to the front of line ahead of everyone else and smiles at the big, tall bouncer checking people in at the door.

Penny: "Excuse me. Sorry we're late, but we'd like a private VIP table please. We're all friends with Zach Johnson. I'm Penny and uh...this here is Amy and Bernadette. "

The bouncer quickly glances down at his clipboard. He looks at a list of VIP member names then he frowns at her.

The bouncer: "I'm sorry, but you're not on the list. You'll have to wait in line."

Amy puts her head down and shakes it looking ready to give up entirely, but Penny refuses to give up.

Penny: "Oh really, so you want me to call Zach, the owner's son and explain to him that some petty functionary with a little clipboard just turned away his close, personal friends. You must want me to cause a scene right here on the sidewalk and you must want to be FIRED! Fine, if that's what you want."

She quickly whips out her cell phone pretending like she is about to call Zach, but then Penny drops the phone on purpose so she has to bend over to pick it up giving the bouncer a nice look at her fine ass in her short sexy red leather dress. The male bouncer gets all flustered all of sudden not sure what to do as he stares at her behind. But, a female bouncer standing nearby helping control the crowd doesn't fall for Penny's act at all. She yells at Penny to get her ass to the back of the line or she is going to let the angry waiting crowd have at her.

Penny sighs in frustration; she can't believe her plan didn't work. The girls start to leave, but then they see Wil Wheaton walking up towards them with a friend. Penny immediately smiles when she sees him, but Amy frowns because she doesn't really like Wil very much.

Amy: "Well, well, well if it isn't Wil Wheaton, could my birthday get any worse?!"

Penny: "Amy, be nice."

Wil: "Seriously!? It's your birthday?"

Penny nods in response and Wil smiles at Amy trying to be nice. He still has no idea why Amy hates him so much.

Amy: "As a matter of fact it is, but what's it to you?"

Wil: "Well today is my birthday too."

Amy: "It is!?"

He nods at her happily then he looks around for a moment expecting to see Sheldon with them. Amy stares at Wil surprised to discover that she actually has something in common with her boyfriend's old nemesis and current man crush.

Wil: "So where's Sheldon?"

Amy: "He couldn't make it tonight. He's sick."

Wil: "Oh wow, that's too bad."

Amy: "Yeah."

Penny: "Hi Wil!"

Wil: "Penny, WOW! Hey there. You're looking good."

Penny: "Oh well aren't you sweet? We were just trying to get into this club here, but we're having a bit of trouble. You think you can help us out."

Wil: "Sure, I'd be happy to."

Penny: "Oh thank you."

Bernadette smiles and says thank you to Wil, but Amy isn't convinced that he can do anything to help them. He heads up to door and tells the bouncer his name then he points at the girls.

Wil: "They're with me."

The bouncer checks his list again and sees Wil's name is on there so he lets them all inside. The male bouncer recognizes Wil Wheaton too and immediately begs for an autograph. Wil politely gives the guy one and Amy stares in total shock. She had no idea he was this popular.

Penny smugly smiles at the rude female bouncer as she passes her by into the club with Wil. As soon as they get inside she orders them all drinks then they head for the VIP area. They all sit around drinking and chatting until the girls get pretty drunk. After a few too many cocktails Amy decides she wants to try riding the mechanical bull at the club. She taps Penny on the shoulder.

Amy: "Look, look Penny! I've always wanted to ride one of those."

Penny: "Really? Well I can show you how. I've done it lots of times. I use to be junior rodeo champion."

Amy: "Oh Yippee!"

Bernadette: "No, Amy I believe its YEEHAW!"

She giggles loudly and takes another sip of her cocktail.

Wil: "Ha, I've got get some video of this then."

Wil grins as he uses his video phone to film Penny and Amy riding the bull together. Penny holds on to Amy's waist as they ride the bull so she won't fall of it. Amy yells "YEEHAW!" and tells the operator to make the bull go faster. After they get off the bull she falls down super dizzy and drunk while Penny laughs and helps her up. Next, the girls head back to the bar and continue drinking themselves stupid.

Amy dares Penny to get up on the bar and dance so she does it. Soon Amy and Bernadette join her up there and they all shake their asses while dancing to These Boots Are Made For Walking on top of the bar. Wil Wheaton films the whole awkward yet weirdly sexy thing and he laughs his ass off at how much fun they are having up there. Penny sees Zach in the club; she smiles as she climbs down to greet him.

Penny: "ZACH! ZACH!"

He turns around surprised to hear her voice.

Zach: "Penny whistle? Is that you?"

She jumps into his arms and he gives her a huge bear hug lifting her off the ground and twirling her in a circle. Then He puts her down and grins at her.

Zach: "You look amazing Penny whistle, nice to see you. It's been awhile."

Penny: "Yeah, yeah you too. Hey Zach, come…come dance with us!"

Zach: Oh I don't know Penny. I'm supposed to be working right now. My dad says he'll fire me if I screw up again."

Penny: "Ah come on! Just one dance, plllllllllleeeeeeeaaseeeeee."

She makes a fake pouty face that she knows Zach can't resist.

Bernadette: "Yeah, its Amy's birthday. She wants to dance with you."

Zach: "Her birthday, oh well how can I say no to that!"

He puts two fingers up to his mouth and whistles loudly to alert the bartender he's going to take his break. Penny and Bernadette giggle as they lead Amy out to the dance floor then they tell her to close her eyes. Amy closes her eyes waiting for her big surprise. Zach sneaks up behind her and picks Amy off the ground before twirling her in a circle like a big goon. Amy almost wets herself when she sees who it is on dance floor with her.

Amy: "It's…its HOOOO! Uh…I mean you!"

Zach: "So I hear you want dance little lady?"

Amy: "Me? You…you want to dance with me?"

Zach: "Well sure, LET'S DO IT! HEY JOE! TURN IT UP!"

He immediately grabs Amy by the waist and then pulls her in close to his body. The DJ Joe nods at him then he turns up the music. Zach whisks Amy around the floor like a big dancing goon. Her feet can barely touch the ground because he is so much taller as he holds her in his arms. She grins with delight as they awkwardly do the Dosey Doe together. Penny is asked to dance too by a random hot male stranger at the club so she joins in the fun on the dance floor while Bernadette watches them from the side and talks to Wil Wheaton. Wil continues films all the fun with his video phone and smiles at Bernadette.

Wil: "You should get out there too. Go dance."

Bernadette: "Oh no. I can't. I'm married. See."

She holds her hand to shows him the wedding ring on her finger."

Wil: "So! Married people can still have fun too there are a lot of options out there."

Bernadette: "Yeah I know. It's just Howard couldn't make it tonight. He has pink eye again."

Wil: "Well Howard's still one lucky guy. If you don't mind me asking….Why'd you pick him?"

Bernadette: "Well he just knows how to make me laugh. And, I don't feel so small when I'm with him I feel BIG! I'm lucky to have him really. He's real smart guy and you do know he went to space right?"

Wil: "Yeah, I heard about that. That's cool. I'm still looking for my special someone so I was just curious. I don't know if I'll ever get marry."

Bernadette: "Oh I'm sure you'll find the right girl someday, you're a real catch."

Wil: "Thanks Bernadette. It's just most girls are too intimidated to date a celebrity while others just want to be able to say they with someone famous. Don't get me wrong sex with random stranger is great! But, I'd really like to find "The one" you know someone who I share a real genuine connection with."

Bernadette: "That's sweet Wil. Hey, you know what let's dance."

Wil: "Really, are you sure?"

Bernadette: "Yeah! You only live once right?"

Will smiles and nods at that. He hands his phone over to his friend to film them and then he heads out on the dance floor with Bernadette. Wil's friend Matt films all the dancing and party festivities then he posts the video up on Wil's Facebook and Twitter page for him and all his friends and followers to see it.

Leonard finishes his shower and comes out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe. His hair is still wet from the shower as he heads to his room. He changes into his pajamas then Leonard checks his email again. He gets a bunch of email notifications from some of Penny's Facebook friends about the video. He clicks on the link to watch it and immediately gets jealous when he sees the hot guy she is dancing with at the club. He gets even more upset as video continues to get raunchy and more disturbing.

Soon a male stripper starts removing his shirt and grinding his package against Amy's behind. Amy squeals nervously as Penny cheers her on and dances. It's obvious the girls have all gone totally wild and are very drunk now. Amy is so wasted she kisses Penny on the lips again and then without even batting an eyelash she kisses Zach too. Penny cracks up laughing about it, but Leonard doesn't find any of it amusing at all.

Zach smiles at Penny and then he tells the girls and Wil that they're all welcome to come over to his place because he just put in a new Jacuzzi in his backyard. Bernadette tells him they can't leave just yet because they are having way too much fun. She has come up with another sweet little surprise for Amy.

Suddenly, the music stops playing and the DJ tells everyone that it's Amy and Wil's birthday. All the people on the dance floor start singing Happy Birthday to them while the bartender brings out a birthday cake with candles on it.

Amy tears up happily that they are all being so nice to her. She finally feels popular and cool for a change which makes her extra happy. Wil smiles as he blows out the candles then he politely offers the first slice of cake to Amy. She is not sure if is just the alcohol making her not despise him so much, but she finally gives him a big hug and yells out loudly to the crowd.

Amy: "WIL WHEATON DOESN'T SUCK!"

Wil chuckles slightly and hugs her back then they both eat their cake together.
