"Gah!"
Leonard jumped with a start. He looked around to find himself in his bedroom. He got up and look outside his window. It was morning and everything looked fine.
"It was all a dream," he said, after letting out a sigh of relief.
Then he heard ringing from his laptop. He went over and opened it up. Priya was calling through Skype; she was still in India. It was around night time there, and she looked disturbed.
"Hey, baby," said Leonard. "What's up?"
"Leonard, I have been doing some thinking," she said, "about how our relationship is going. And personally I think we need to talk about it."
"Uh, okay."
They had a long conversation about the ups and downs of their relationship; how Priya cheated on Leonard with an ex and how he almost did but didn't mean to; how he cannot escape Penny since she is his neighbor; and how strict Raj and her parents are about them dating.
"So honestly I think we need to break up," Priya said. "I cannot force Penny to move away, and despite your success in physics your race is a big issue with my parents. I mean no offense, and hope you understand."
"I understand," Leonard said, though feeling uncertain. "If you and I can't think of anything to fix this relationship, then screw it. I guess I'll wish the best of luck to you. Bye."
As he closed his laptop, Leonard began pondering about this whole thing.
"Leonard!"
He jumped a little when he heard his name called. It sounded like Penny's voice. He was worried, thinking that his dream might have been real. Then there was a little knock on his door, and Penny creaked inside. She was at her normal height which relieved Leonard.
"Leonard, I'm sorry to bother you at this time."
"No, no. You didn't wake me; I was up already. What is it that you need?"
"Well, some of your laundry got mixed with my laundry," Penny replied. She handed to him a couple of his boxers with superheroes on them.
"Oh, thanks," said Leonard. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, you could say that," she said, "though I had this crazy dream last night."
"I bet it wasn't as crazy as mine. What did you dream?"
"Well, I dreamed that I saw a UFO and nobody believed me except for Sheldon because, you know, he'll believe anything. So I came to you because you know better than anyone here, next to Sheldon. Then we saw the UFO and this giant alien. You left me with the alien and I passed out. Then I wake up in a hospital and grew to about forty-five inches, I think. I started looking for you and grabbed you, while Sheldon and the others tried to stop me."
Leonard just stood there with a shocked expression on his face.
"Leonard, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Penny. It's just that this is some dream you had. But I assure if that happened for real, I'll never leave you alone with an alien or any other threat."
"Well, thanks anyway. So what was your dream?"
"Um…nothing any colossal such as yours; it was just Sheldon battling a giant dragon in medieval times and you were a fair maiden in danger and I tried to rescue you while Sheldon fought hard."
"Well, that's interesting and sweet," said Penny.
An awkward pause followed after.
"Do you have any coffee?"
"Yeah, I'll make some," said Leonard
