Penny sat on the arm of the chair, watching as Leonard, Howard and Raj giggled at the computer screen. Glancing sideways at Sheldon, she asked, "They're still playing with that sex change program, aren't they?"
"I'd think it would be obvious." He sniffed. "There are so many other things they could be spending their time on."
Something about the look in his eyes tipped her off. "Aww, Sheldon, you didn't make a very pretty girl, did you?"
Sheldon pouted. "I was pretty!"
"Just not asthetically pleasing," Howard shouted over his shoulder.
"It's unnatural," Sheldon said, with another sniff.
Leonard flashed a big grin. "But it's fun."
Raj leaned closer to Howard, whispering in his ear. "Oo, you're right!" He began tapping at the keyboard. "With just a few tweaks of Penny's picture - "
Penny leaped off the chair. "My picture? Where did you get my picture?" She hauled Raj and Leonard out of the way, peering at the screen. "That's not my body, Howard!"
He grinned. "It is your body. Your body of my dreams."
"You distorted it! My boobs are not that big!" Penny howled.
Raj whispered something to Leonard. Leonard nodded. "Yeah, they're not that big now, are they?" His smile faded. "Oh. They're really not boobs."
Howard turned back to the screen. "That's so not right."
Penny pursed her lips, studying the image. "Well. Somehow, that's not exactly surprising." She grinned, patting Leonard's shoulder. "It makes sense to me." Spinning on her heel, she flounced back to the chair and sat down.
"It's not fair," Howard whined.
"Live with it, Howard!" Penny told him.
Leonard pulled a chair from the island and sat on it. "Penny's a very attractive woman. It stands to reason she'd make a handsomer man than any of us."
