Meanwhile, Leonard had just arrived at Raj's apartment to drop off Priya.
"Well, I had a great time tonight," said Leonard. "I'm so glad you could be able to come and spent time here in California with me."
"Me, too," said Priya. "And with this eclipse occurring, the night couldn't become better."
"I know, right? I never expected it to get more romantic than this. Well, good night baby."
"Good night, Leonard."
After coming home, Leonard found Sheldon sitting at his spot as usual, spinning a top.
"Hey," said Leonard. "How was dinner with Howard and Raj tonight?"
"It was typical," said Sheldon. "It was typical until Penny came in and said she saw an amazing sight but it turns out to be a prank like Wolowitz's Stephen Hawking prank."
"What did she see?"
"A UFO," Sheldon replied. "And just for a single moment, I thought that we would have extra-terrestrials come visit us and learn our ways and maybe probe us, though that's something I'm not looking forward to."
Leonard just nodded, and went over to Penny's apartment. He peaked in to find Penny sitting on her sofa with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Leonard!" Penny exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"I just thought I'd dropped by to see how you were doing."
"Didn't Priya forbid you from seeing me?" Penny asked.
"Yes," Leonard said, doing his shrug. "But I guess it wouldn't hurt to show concern to a neighbor."
"Oh, you heard about me and the UFO?"
"Yes, I did. And quite frankly, I never expected to hear you say the words 'I saw a UFO.'"
"You don't believe me, don't you?" said Penny.
"Actually, you may need to give me the details on it so that I can decide whether I believe it or not," said Leonard.
So Penny had gone through with Leonard on everything she saw and what the others make of it. He listened and paid good attention to her and thought hard of what to say to her.
"So that's it," said Penny. "Alien comes, Sheldon the insane one believes me, but there's nothing there."
"Huh," said Leonard. "Well, Penny, I may have to say I don't believe you unless you have some hard evidence."
She handed her phone to him with the picture of the UFO.
"That's the full moon," Leonard said. "Penny, is there something you need to tell me?"
"No, just I saw a UFO. I swear I saw it!"
"Penny, I think you probably have to lay off the alcohol for a while," said Leonard, as he took Penny's glass and set it down on the coffee table. "You've had a pretty long day, and probably the stress is playing tricks in your head. I know you miss spending time with us and your girl friends are out of town but try to stay cheery for once. Go out more, find guys, and if they screw up like I did with you, try to find a solution."
"All right, Leonard," said Penny. "I'll get ready for bed. Thanks for the advice though."
"You're welcome," said Leonard. "Good night."
So Penny got into her robe and went straight to bed. After a few hours, she got up to have some water. Walking back inside her bedroom, she opens her curtains to find the face of a giant alien! She screamed, and found herself in her bed with the curtains closed. It was just a dream. Needless to say, Penny didn't sleep well that night.
