Penny sat down and tried to relax. She stared at her hands, noting the slight trembling and spasms. She looked across the room where Amy was watching over Phoebe and Denise. They were getting weaker every day. So were the others, but Denise and Phoebe were the weakest. Even she was beginning to feel the effects now. She could hear Phoebe talking to Amy. Nothing Penny didn't already know, but it seemed to make Phoebe feel better to say it. She could tell Amy was stunned by what she heard.
"I am scared, Amy. What's going to happen?"
"It's okay, Phoebe. We're doing everything we can."
"Could you…will you tell Sheldon I'm sorry?"
"For what?"
"For not telling him how much he means to me. To us all. He was Penny's best friend, you know."
"He was?"
"We love you too, but Sheldon is the one we knew would never hurt us."
"I …I'll tell him."
"I'm tired. Can I sleep?"
"Yes, Phoebe. You rest now."
Penny stood and headed for the door. There was something she needed to do.
Leonard opened the door and smiled widely for a moment before realizing which clone was at the door. He stepped back and waved her in. "Are you here to tell me off, too?"
Penny looked at him steadily. "I'm here to remind you of a few things."
"Like what?"
Penny sat down in Sheldon's spot and patted the seat beside her. "Leonard, from the moment Penny moved into this building you pursued her. But you also went after any other pretty girl who crossed your path. Stephanie, Leslie, Alicia, Missy, Professor Plimpton. You even had sex with a donor at the university on more than one occasion. Not for love, but because you could. You almost became a traitor just to get laid. You knew what Carrie was like. You knew she would not have the ability to resist sex. You took advantage of her."
Leonard sprang up and sputtered.
"Sit down," Penny said sternly. When Leonard didn't sit she grew more stern. "SIT!" She took a moment to calm herself. "I am nowhere near finished."
R/W :hurt, resist, wave, nowhere, sleep.
