A/N Hi Guys, sorry for the very inconsistent updates, but this fan fiction will come to an end soon, as I have a great idea for a new one, which I will be exploring. I don't think anyone was really into this anyways, but I might update every now and again. Big things are coming for Penny and Leonard… and Jennifer. Enjoy, and don't forget to review at the end, reviews are what authors thrive for…

Leonard returned home from getting the Thai food, for Sheldon and his friends. As soon as he entered the apartment, he questioned by Sheldon, and harassed by the constant request of extra things he required. He wondered if he just did it to annoy him. The four of them, sat in silence. Every now and again, a cough or the scrapping of a plastic fork against the bottom of an empty Thai food container was heard. Leonard's head was continuously filled with thoughts from a few nights ago, and ever-increasing doubt about the threesome he may, or may not have been involved in. He hadn't spoken to Penny or Jennifer since the night, and didn't plan too, any time soon. He decided to stay home, and watch the lectures online, while Sheldon continuously complained about having to take the bus.

Penny had just returned home from the University campus, it had been a few days since Jennifer, hers and Leonards drunken fiasco, and she still hadn't spoken to either of them about it. She spent time with Jennifer at the campus, but they both avoided the conversation. Penny missed Leonard, and she didn't know why. Its not like they were a couple. She missed his presence at the University, and not seeing him, or texting all the time like they used too. She went for a shower, to try and clear her head, from all the thoughts. She returned to her bedroom, in a robe to find her phone flashing, with a text from Leonard lit up on her lock screen. Nervous, she slid her finger across her screen, to find a rather small paragraph from Leonard, highlighted in a green bubble.

Hi Penny. It's Leonard. I am deeply sorry, about the drunken events that were under taken by us a few days ago. I apologise about not being on campus, because I have been sick, and will hopefully be back in a few days. I hope what happened, hasn't ruined any part of our relationship and/or friendship.

Your Sincerely

Leonard Hofstadter.

It always amused Penny at how formal he was, even if it was just a text message.

Its okay Leonard, and Sheldon already dobbed you in about, and I quote 'hiding away in his room like a little ninny'. Everything is fine, and come back. I miss you xx

Penny replied, trying to sound as casual as possible. She decided to text Jennifer, to see if Leonard has said anything to her.

Hey Jen, have you spoken to Leonard?

Jennifer almost immediately replied.

No no no, but guess what. I just got off the phone; a magazine company just offered me a job as a journalist/editor, when I finish this year of my course. Come over for a drink.

Penny didn't reply, just pulled on a shirt and some pyjama pants, and ran down the stairs towards her car. She drove towards 2311 North Los Robles, and immediately sprinted up the four flights of stairs. By the time she reached the forth floor, often her long breaths were frequented with a curse towards the broken elevator, she heard the battle tactics coming from apartment 4A, 'must be Halo night' she thought to herself as she knocked on Jennifer's door.

She opened it almost immediately, with two glasses of wine in her hand.

"I am so proud of you!" Penny burst it, giving Jennifer a warm hug.

Jennifer smiled, and returned to where she was sitting on the couch. Penny could sense that something was not right.

"What's up?"

"Oh nothing…" she replied, very rarely making eye contact with Penny.

Penny hit her leg, as she took another slurp from her wine glass.

"If I take the job, I have to move. Out of LA, out of California even…"

Penny's face went blank. She saw tears welling in Jennifer's eyes.

"Jen, you have to take it."

"I really don't want to leave you, there will be other offers."

"Well where too, and what magazine is it for? I'll be able to come see you."

"Well, that's the thing. If I take it, I'll have to move to Australia." Jennifer said, standing up, and refilling both hers and Penny's wine glass.

"But that's like a 16 hour flight, still. Jennifer, listen to me, we have been friends for a really long time okay, but I would feel horrible, if you missed out on an opportunity like this, just to stay in LA. Seriously think about it, doesn't Australia have like the best beaches in the world. I'd definitely come and visit you!" Penny exclaimed, taking the refilled glass back off her.

"And there's also Leonard, I don't know about him, have you spoken to him?" Jennifer chuckled, almost downing the wine entirely.

"He messaged me earlier, trying to cover up about why he hasn't been at the campus, load of bull. I think its cute that he doesn't want to show us that he is embarrassed about the other night. He is such a sweet guy".

"Penny, do you like Leonard?" Jennifer asked, noticing how she glowed when she talked about him.

"Well as a friend yeah, he's great". She said, trying to dodge the question.

"You know what I mean…"

"Come on, and are you guys like together?"

"We were kind off, but don't dodge the question. Penny, do you like Leonard, more than a friend."

Penny wasn't sure. She had never thought about it, did she like him?

"Okay, hold on. First, when do you have to move? If you take the job?" Penny, once again diverted away from what she wanted to find out.

"At the end of my course, so in about 3 months. I am going to miss you so much, wait. Maybe you could try and get my apartment?"

"Oh my god, that would be amazing. I love this place so much. Wouldn't it be weird living next to Leonard and the guys"?

"Not if you were together…" Jennifer quickly remarked

"Why are you so persistent on this?" Penny asked, slowly becoming annoyed with her.

"I see the way you look at him, and the way he looks at you Penny. I have known you long enough now, I see right through you when you say you don't like him. I can tell, whenever you talk about him, you just glow. Penny, you constantly tell me that he is not your type that he isn't the usual type of guy that you date. But when you think about it, maybe that's a good thing. You have always been hurt, with the guys you have dated before. Leonard is not like Kurt, and maybe that's a good thing. Maybe Leonard is just the man you are looking for Penny, I've see you, always so unhappy, and whenever you are with Leonard, all you do is smile."

"Well yeah, he's a great guy. But anyways, even if I did like him, he would never date me, I flunked out of high school, and he like topped all his classes. I am struggling in one of the easiest University courses, and he is doing probably the hardest. We are two different people; he would never go for me. We have only hung out like twice…"

"Look, I never told you this, but when we were together. Actually the night we stopped being together, I told him that he I had a really nice time with him. And he replied, 'I had a really nice time tonight, with you too, Penny."

Penny was left speechless.

"Its really okay" Jennifer added, "I always knew that he liked you, and I am okay with it. I'm moving away soon, so better to break off any relationships now, then we can go out and party every night for the next 3 months, what do you reckon?" Jennifer laughed, as a smile once again grew on Penny's face.

It was 2 months on, and Penny was almost finished her university course, only 3 weeks were left in her first semester. Penny and Leonard had hung out a few times at the campus, often just a lunchtime where Leonard would help her, and give her some tips. Jennifer was still attending the campus, but everyday, as she tried to decrease the time until she was able to start her new job. She had been doing double shifts at the Cheesecake factory for about 6 weeks, putting about three-quarters of her pay away to save up for her flights and saving money to get on her feet when she landed in Australia. It hadn't really sunk in to Penny, that her best friend was moving away in about 2 weeks, and she wasn't sure how she would deal with it. Penny had applied to get Jennifer's apartment when she moved out, main reason being it was a lot cheaper then where she was, and a lot nicer as well. Being close to Leonard was an added bonus. Leonard only recently found out that Jennifer was moving away, and hadn't really said anything to either of them about it. He still hadn't forgiven himself, about what happened the other night, and he was certain that she never would either, no matter how much she told him she was okay.

"Hey Sheldon" Leonard called out from his bedroom. "Did you get the mail?"

"No, Leonard. What do I look like to you, your slave?" He asked, as he sat in his spot eating French toast.

"Well I assumed, considering most of the mail would be your subscriptions to certain magazines. Like Physics Monthly, and you know 'Granny on Granny'…"

"I will never forgive Howard for that." Sheldon shook his head, as he threw the crusts of his French toast in the bin.

Penny and Leonard sat on the side of the hill, after their lectures looking over the wildlife down beside the river.

"Have you heard from Jennifer lately?" Penny asked, starring off into the sunset.

"Not really, we just wave, I am still unsure of why she is moving, she never told us. I automatically assumed it was because of me. Sheldon said that was the most logical explanation, so we went with it. Howard yelled at me because 'I scared her away before he could impress her'…"
