A/N: I am so grateful to the many of you who have left reviews for this story it warms my heart. So just for that I will give you two chapters today. This is the second so make sure you check out chapter 13 if you haven't already done so.

Okay like I said I had half of this was completed when chapter 13 started bugging me to write it. So here it is the last day in Aspen. We are nearing the end of our story, I will have a chapter devoted to the fallout of Emily's inebriation but if you read chapter 13 she may get off easily.

This is a short chapter as I don't know much about skiing or tubing. I just wanted them to have some fun in Aspen.

Okay as always don't own it at all:

The weather in Aspen improved greatly on Sunday. Howard, Bernadette, Leonard and Penny met Carole, Jane and Dawn for breakfast. The women were still extremely grateful to Bernadette for solving the mystery once and for all.

"I still can't believe it was all a fake. Adam is going to get an earful from me on Tuesday morning." Dawn said.

"Well you did invite him to your room." Penny pointed out.

"But what I don't get is how he knew you would do that?" Bernadette asked.

"Oh believe me, he knew." Dawn said. "I casually mentioned that maybe we could get together while we were away on this trip. I knew he had a reputation and I was going to use that to my full advantage."

"So you really were going to sleep with him just to get a promotion?" Howard asked.

"Oh it happens all the time." Penny said. "Remember Alicia?" She asked.

"Who's Alicia?" Bernadette asked.

"Oh the whore of 2311 Los Robles." Penny answered.

"That isn't fair. She was a nice girl." Howard replied.

"You just enjoyed our fight." Penny commented.

"You fought this girl?" Bernadette asked.

"She was taking advantage of the guys. Letting them buy her dinner and do things for her like fix her wi-fi."

"Like you do?" Bernadette asked.

"Nope completely different." Penny said blushing. It was the same thing Alicia had said to her.

"Okay." Bernadette said suspiciously. "Well what made her the whore?"

"Oh she was an actress like me only more successful."

"So not like you." Howard said.

"Anyway…." She continued. "She had an audition for a part in CSI and got it because she was sleeping with the producer."

"Oh so are you implying I am the whore of my company?" Dawn asked.

"Oh no not at all." Penny said.

"Although she is." Jane commented.

"Jane!" Carole yelled.

"No it's okay, I can't deny I was trying to sleep with my boss to get a promotion, but I was only doing it because Martha was also sleeping with him."

"You knew that and didn't mention it?" Carole asked her shocked.

"I didn't think she would kill him. Just like she said, she loved him. He probably did tell her that but he has a reputation with the ladies." Dawn said. "Why would I suspect Martha?"

"I would have. But at the same time, how would you know she would find out about you inviting him to your room. You didn't know they were staying together did you?" Bernadette asked.

"No, I thought she was staying with her friends." Dawn said. "But I didn't want to assume he would invite me to his room."

"Well I am glad there wasn't a real murder committed in this hotel. It would have been creepy." Leonard commented.

"I agree." Howard said. "It wouldn't have been a very romantic weekend with a murder."

The group finished their breakfast and the girls asked the women if they were planning on going skiing.

"Oh no, we are actually going to be heading out today." Carole said to them. "But you guys have a great time. It was very nice to meet you."

"It was nice to meet you as well." Bernadette said to them.

"Yeah." Penny said.

They parted ways and the couples made their ways to their rooms to get ready.

"Are you sure about this?" Penny asked Leonard.

"I am willing to give it a try." He answered.

"I just remember how you were on the roller skates. We could go snow tubing instead." She said.

"No I want to take to try things you love. So if you want to go skiing, I am willing to go skiing." He said.

"Alright, but if it gets too much we will stop and go tubing." She said.

"Why don't we ski for a while then have lunch then go tubing." He said.

"That is an excellent plan." Penny said. "Let me call Bernadette to tell her."

She called Bernadette and the petite blond agreed that they should go skiing only in the morning. She didn't need a repeat of the roller skating debacle.

Skiing did not turn out to be as bad as the girls originally thought it would be. The guys did pretty good and only fell twice each before getting used to the poles. After they mastered the bunny hill, the couples decided to try a bit more advanced but still beginner slope. Leonard and Howard proved to be decent skiers. Penny and Bernadette had no complaints.

They enjoyed a late lunch together and headed back to the hotel. They read that there was moonlight tubing and decided that is what they would do since it was all included in the package Penny had earned.

"Skiing wasn't as scary as I imagined." Howard said.

"Me neither." Bernadette commented sarcastically.

"Ha ha." Howard said.

"No I am serious. You guys did remarkably well for your first time."

"We did, didn't we?" Leonard said.

"Yes you did." Penny answered.

"So what should we do before we go tubing? The event starts at 8." Howard said looking at his watch. It was just before 4.

"We could go to the movies." Bernadette suggested. She saw a theater near the slopes on their way back. "I saw a theater not too far from the resort."

"What is playing?" Leonard asked.

"I actually wanted to see The Imitation Game." Howard said.

"What is that about?" Penny said.

"A mathematician breaking codes during World War II." Leonard answered. "It actually looks pretty good."

"I don't think so." Penny said. "How about The Wedding Ringer?" She asked.

"A romantic comedy?" Howard said. "Next."

"It's Valentine's weekend. I think a romantic comedy is exactly what we should watch." Bernadette said to him.

"I guess we could see it." Leonard said. The truth was he would always say yes to romantic movies because it made Penny happy.

"Fine. Let's go see it."

"Yay!" Bernadette said.

The couples grabbed their things and left the hotel and headed to the movies. The movie wasn't as bad as Howard thought it would be and he actually enjoyed it.

"I am telling you Penny that actress looked just like you, only the you with the longer hair." Bernadette commented. "She could have been your twin."

"You really think so?" Penny asked.

"I must admit, Bernadette is right. Maybe she is the one that took all the parts that were meant for you when you were acting." Leonard said jokingly.

"You may be right." Penny said. "Oh well, that is the past. Now I have a great job that sends me on vacation if I perform well. The Cheesecake Factory never did that."

"You never would have gotten a trip anyway." Bernadette laughed.

"That is very true. I was a terrible waitress." Penny smiled.

"The worst." Bernadette said.

The girls laughed as they made their way to tubing event. The couples had a wonderful time sliding down the slopes in the tubes for a few hours. Afterwards they all enjoyed some time in front of the fire at their hotel. They were all dead on their feet by the time they all made it back to their rooms.

"Thank you Penny." Howard said to her before closing the door to his room.

"For what?" She asked.

"For bringing us along on this trip. It has been a blast." He answered.

"Oh you are so welcome. I had a good time too." She said. "Too bad it ends tomorrow."

"Yeah really. Well goodnight." He said.

"Goodnight."

Penny went into the room and found Leonard already sound asleep laying on top of the covers.

"Sweetie." She whispered quietly.

"Yeah?" He said groggily.

"Goodnight. I love you." She said and gave him a sweet kiss on the forehead.

"I love you too." He sighed and pulled her closer to him to snuggle in for the night.

I couldn't help it, The Wedding Ringer is out and it is probably a perfect Valentine's movie. So I had to use it. I haven't seen it but we all know Kaley is in it and I had to bring up how much that actress looks just like Penny. I am not cutting on Penny's hair just so I don't get hate reviews for that. But from the previews I have seen her hair is long in this movie. Maybe she cuts it part of the way through. Like I said I haven't seen it so I can't tell you.

Please review. I think I have two more chapters to get finished by Saturday.
