This was later than I wanted to post it, but let me say, for a story I wasn't going to expand on I have had some amazing response to it! Thank you so much for your kind words and here is the final part!

TFDP Part III

Leonard sat down at the table smiling.

"What's up with your face? Did you get laid," asked Howard.

"Why would I tell you," said Leonard defensively.

He shrugged. "Maybe I want to know? It was prom weekend. Wasn't everyone out to get lucky?"

"I wasn't," interrupted Raj.

Howard turned towards him and pointed his fork in that direction. "You can't even talk to girls. I don't even know how you got the red head's number."

"What are you talking about," asked Leonard confused.

"Some red head came up to Raj at prom and asked if he wanted dance and then he somehow managed to get her number," explained Howard.

"Her name is Emily," corrected Raj.

Leonard looked at him shock. "How?"

Raj face broke into a shit eating grin. "No idea dude. I have a date with her Friday."

Both of the guys laughed. "What," asked Raj.

Howard wiped a tear away from his eye. "How are you ever going to talk to her?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I'll figure something out. We've texted a lot."

"Hello gentleman," announced Sheldon as he sat down at the table. The guys stared at the person who sat down next to Sheldon. "Can you believe my mother still had me go to church after all the work I put into keeping Missy in check? She even swore on the Bible she did not sin with her date, but no, that isn't enough," complained Sheldon.

Leonard continued to look at the two in shock and confusion. "Um, Sheldon? Aren't you going to introduce us to your...friend?"

Sheldon looked over to his right. "Oh! How very rude of me. Amy Farrah Fowler, these are my colleagues: Leonard Hofstader, Rajesh Koothrappali, and Howard Wolowitz."

She smiled at the other boys. "It's very nice to meet. Sheldon has told me some interesting things about you."

The three stared at the odd couple sitting across from them. Sheldon picked at his salad and turned to look at Amy. "You should come and see the new cat my mother rescued. Normally I'm against it, but this one is so zazzy. They are my favorite pet, well behind the octo-dog, but that's going to be awhile."

Amy nodded. "I concur, I find cats the epitome of indifference. However, my mother won't allow me to have one due to her allergies."

Sheldon made a sad face. "How sad. Why don't you come after school to see him? I also have lint rollers so you can rid your clothes of cat air afterwards."

"I agree. To both the visit and the lint rollers," said Amy as she picked up an apple.

"Hold on," interrupted Leonard. The two looked at him. "When did you even meet?"

"Excuse me Leonard, but I don't see how that has anything to do with our conversation. If we are changing the topic it is Howard's turn," explained Sheldon.

Howard leaned forward. "Alright then, where did you kids meet?"

"Prom," said Sheldon tersely.

Howard wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "Prom, eh."

Sheldon rolled his eyes. "Howard, your implications are, like always, wrong."

Amy adjusted her glasses. "Yes, Sheldon and I did none of the things you are implying. We danced, he took me home and gave me a brief good night kiss."

Leonard looked at his best friend in shock. "YOU KISSED HER?!"

-o-O-o-

"Hey there babe."

Penny put her books in her locker and shut the door, revealing the blonde boy. "Brad, what do you want?"

He looked at her seriously and placed his arms on her shoulders. "Penny, I'm sorry. Really. It was stupid and I promise it won't happen. Let's finish this year strong." He leaned forward, but she pushed him away. He frowned. "What's wrong?"

Penny slung her bag over her shoulder and crossed her arms. "I thought I made myself clear on prom night. We're done, over."

He laughed. "C'mon Penny-"

"No," she said forcefully, "besides I've already found someone else."

He looked at her incredulously. "You mean that geek?" He laughed. "You can't be serious babe."

She poked him in the chest and glared up at him. "I am. He is more of a man than you ever will be. And I..."

Brad raised an eye. "I what? Love him? He's pretty low, even for you."

Penny glared at him before pulling her arm back and punching him for what he was worth right in the nose.
He bent down in pain and howled as blood gushed from his nose.

Penny shook her hand and turned around to mouth ow. She turned back around and kicked him in the knee sending him down. "That's what you get you two timing bastard!"

She turned around and stormed off, never looking back.

-o-O-o-

Howard pulled his phone out and showed everyone the picture of Bernadette. "See, she's real. There's no way I could fake that."

"We weren't arguing," said Leonard.

Howard put his hands up defensively. "Okay if that's not enough proof I'll bring her to vintage video game night."

"You will not do such a thing," argued Sheldon.

"Watch me," said Howard as he got in Sheldon's face.

"There's no reason for you to assert your alpha male status Sheldon," said Amy.

Raj leaned over to Howard and whispered something in his ear. "How am I supposed to know if that's code for something?"

Amy looked at Raj curiously. "Do you have an issue with speaking with women?"

He nodded. "I thought as much," she rummaged in her purse and handed him a pill bottle, "try these. I'm currently working with them at UCLA."

"When do you go to UCLA," asked Leonard.

"On the weekends," answered Amy.

Sheldon leaned down and whispered in Amy's ear. "Those weren't real pills were they?"

"No, a placebo. Mints," she replied with a devilish grin.

"Can I sit with you guys?"

Leonard turned around and beamed. "Of course," he replied pulling up a chair. "Everyone, this is Penny."

"Hi," she said with a wave.

"This explains everything," announced Howard.

Leonard looked at him. "What?"

"Your face earlier. I knew it was a girl."

Leonard sighed and threw his hands up in the air. "Fine it was a girl, happy?"

"Yep."

Silence settled on the table as they ate. And some awkwardness as Penny had nothing. But overall it was comfortable, as if they did this every day.

"You know what's interesting," said Leonard.

"What," asked Penny.

"We all found someone at prom."

Sheldon looked around the table. "I guess we did."
