Leonard arrived at Raj's apartment, still full of anxiety. He ran up the stairs, and knocked the door frequently. Priya answered the door, and smiled at Leonard.
"Hey, sweetie," she said.
"Listen to me," Leonard said, quickly. "I have no idea how these things came to be, but I think my life is in danger and so is yours. We need to leave town as soon as possible."
He ran inside the apartment while Priya stood, looking very confused.
"Where can I find the luggage?" Leonard asked.
"Leonard," said Priya. "What do you mean your life is in danger?"
"I really can't explain," said Leonard. "You really wouldn't believe me."
Just then, his cellphone rang.
"Oh, no," said Leonard. "I don't know what to do! I don't know if I could answer it now!"
Leonard slowly slid the bar on his phone to answer whoever was calling him now.
"He-Hello?" Leonard answered, nervously. "Whoa, Sheldon, slow down. What's that? Oh, my. I'll try to be there. Bye."
Leonard hung up, and turned to Priya.
"False alarm."
"What do you mean?" Priya asked him.
"Um," said Leonard. "I thought that our lives were in danger because I keep getting these threatening phone calls. Turns out it was all Sheldon's doing. It was another one of his bazinga pranks, but that's not important right now. Penny's in the hospital."
"Oh, no," said Priya. "What happened?"
"I think you need to see to believe," Leonard replied.
The two arrived at the hospital. They found Sheldon, Howard, and Raj outside of a biohazard room where Penny was inside, still comatose and still glowing. Also inside were doctors in hazmat suits testing her.
"Oh my God," said Leonard and Priya. "What happened to Penny?"
"We found her in the woods like this," said Raj.
"This is the doing of the thing from another planet!" said Sheldon.
"Sheldon, shush," said Howard. "Don't get everybody in a panic here. This is enough."
Just then, one of the doctors came out of the room and faced the gang.
"We don't really know what the meaning behind this glowing is," the doctor said. "She's still in comatose, and while this is new to us we cannot risk it. In all my years as a doctor…"
"Yes, yes, we know," said Sheldon. "This all new to you."
"What was Penny doing out in the woods," Priya asked.
"She claimed to have seen a UFO," said Raj. "We didn't believe her except Sheldon. He wouldn't stop bothering us about it so we drove out where we found her in this radiated state. But the big question is how she got here; we didn't see her car so someone must've taken here there."
"Well, I have to confess," Leonard said. "Penny snuck into my car because the whole UFO issue was driving her crazy. I dropped her off, and lost her. I looked everywhere for her, but it seems like you guys found her. Thanks, I appreciate it."
"Leonard, what do you mean by this?" Priya asked, looking suspicious.
"Uh, let's talk in another room," said Leonard.
They moved to another location in the hospital where they could talk in private and not build up any suspicion from the others.
"Okay, here's the truth," said Leonard. "I drove Penny out to the woods, we found a giant alien, I left here there, I'm a bad person, okay?"
"Leonard, I think you're being delirious," said Priya. "Nobody believes the whole myth of aliens and flying saucers."
"But I saw it! And now, Penny's in a coma because I put her in danger! I have to be at her side!"
"I think you're being too concerned about this whole situation," said Priya. "Penny has her other friends to look after her. Tell you what: let's go on our date and later at Raj's apartment…"
She whispered in Leonard's ear about doing arousing acts that they've never done before. Leonard was starting to become aroused by all the things he was hearing. Priya smiled devilishly at him.
"What do you say?" she asked.
"Let's waste no time," Leonard said quickly.
He told the others that he and Priya were going on their date and would be home late. As they went off, Sheldon's suspicion was building up.
"I am becoming more suspicious at these turn of events," he said. "I believe Leonard doesn't want us to discover the UFO, and wants all the glory for himself. Howard, Raj, let's go back to the woods and beat him to it."
"Fine by me," said Howard.
"I like mysteries, so count me in," said Raj.
