Whoo! The fight is getting serious, Bring on the Paintball battle!!!

Paintball is what I really need right now Sheldon thought; I need something to distract me from my thoughts of Penny.

Sheldon has been useless at work because his anger for her is practically all he can think about.

Howard, Raj, Leonard and Sheldon were at the paintball registration, "Who are we against Leonard?" Raj asked

"Leslie Winkle's team," Leonard replied looking at a paper.

"Really?" Sheldon asked, "I thought Kripke was sick?" Kripke was on Leslie's team, and you must have four players on your team, at least.

Howard responded, "Well obviously, she's found someone else for her team."

Sheldon thought of other possibilities, "Who could it be?"

"Hello men. Sheldon," Sheldon turned around to see Penny and Leslie.

"Penny, are you on Leslie's team?" Leonard asked, sounding really scared.

Penny had a giant grin on her face, "yes I am Leonard. Leslie called me saying she was up against the four of you, I jumped at the opportunity to," Penny looked at Sheldon, "destroy."

Leslie said, "See you boys out there." Leslie walked past with Penny behind, Penny knocked into Sheldon hard before heading out to the battle zone.

"Oh God we're doomed," Raj said with sorrow.

"Yeah, let's just surrender," Howard started to walk away.

"Wait now, hold on!" Sheldon said firmly, turning toward them.

"We can't give up, that'll give Penny the satisfaction of winning without even raising her dainty fingers!"

"Come on Sheldon," Leonard whined, "We'll be slaughtered!"

"Don't worry, I'm quite confident that Penny will only be aiming to kill me," Sheldon said with no fear.

He raised his paintball gun, "Let's go and face hell, men." Sheldon went through the door to the battle zone.

Leonard, Raj and Howard stood still, Howard then said dramatically, "last time it happened, it was a battle," Thinking of the Saturday of food-touching, laundry night and panty Piñata, "This time...it is WAR."

It was what the three of them had feared would happen, war.

"Come on, we can take on Leslie and her team," Leonard's voice broke, "We can leave Sheldon and Penny to their own battle." They walked through the door to the war zone.

"His bravery is inspiring," Penny whispered with emotion, as if she was in a war movie. Usually it would be funny, making things dramatic, like when she hears Raj say at every paintball fight, 'I love the smell of paintballs in the morning.'

But today paintball was dead serious.

Leslie said out of breath, "From what I know from Sheldon, is that he hates chaos. So just then, when you shot him twice and he shot you back, I believe this battle has descended into anarchy."

Penny didn't need to answer, Leslie's assumption was true.

*

"I'm not as bad at Paintball as you think I am, Penny," Sheldon crouched behind a pile of hay and aimed his gun at Penny. She couldn't see him and didn't know which direction he went, so Penny was like a worm waiting for the bird to strike.

Sheldon shot Penny twice, hitting her chest and shoulder. Leslie had Penny's back; she started shooting around the direction where the shooting came from. One paintball hit Sheldon on the knee, making him yelp out loud.

"He's over there!" Leslie yelled, shooting at Sheldon, but then she got shot on the back, making her turn around to aim for her other opponent.

Sheldon ran out of his spot, aiming for where Penny was, but she wasn't there anymore.

*

Penny had moved into an empty shed. She stood on a hay stack, and pointed her gun out of the narrow windows, and then she waited.

She saw Howard and Raj run past and hide behind a wall; they were close so she could hear what they said;

"I think we're safe here," Howard said out of breath.

Raj then said dramatically, "I love the smell of paintballs in the morning."

Penny smiled and couldn't help laughing. They had heard and instantly put their hands up and started to run again.

*

Sheldon saw Howard and Raj run from their spot. Penny must be there, thought Sheldon, because she wouldn't shoot at them.

From hiding spot to hiding spot, he carefully went closer to Penny's unknown hiding spot.

*

"There he is," Penny whispered.

She didn't want to shoot yet, if she did, she would probably only get to shoot him once and he would hide again and Penny would have to find him again. So she waited for him to get closer to the spot where there were less escape routes. She watched him; Sheldon had a strong back and balanced legs. He's a man, she thought, obviously he was, but at this moment she realised that he's acting the way a real man would. Going back to manly instincts.

Penny shook her head and said that was a silly thought, it was time to focus.

Sheldon was in the spot she wanted him to be, so shot him, over and over and over again.

Unlike most people, they would step back or run from the shots of paint, but Sheldon kept stepping forward, not giving up.

Sheldon went into the shed and started shooting Penny. Neither of them would stop shooting, even though the paintball were really starting to hurt.

"ENOUGH OF THIS! STOP!" Leonard ran into the shed with raised arms, Leslie was behind him, she was also looking from Penny to Sheldon.

Sheldon and Penny stopped their shooting and looked at Leonard angrily.

Raj, Howard and the other members of Leslie's team came in.

Leonard took control of the situation, "The game is over! No more shooting, before serious injuries happen."

Sheldon's team left, then Leslie turned to Penny, "What the hell was that?!? I mean I thought I hated Sheldon!"

*

Howard and Raj were lying on the floor, and Raj groaned, "Oh I am so sore."

Sheldon stared at them with angry eyes from the kitchen, "If you think you're sore, look at me!"

He was still in his paintball suit and he was almost covered with blue paint splatters.

Penny let herself in, "hey."

She still had her suit on, it was almost as bad as Sheldon's, and she had her gun in her hand.

Leonard was in the shower, so he couldn't stop anything from happening.

Howard and Raj crawled behind the coffee table, ducking for cover.

Penny and Sheldon were measuring off with each other; Sheldon had a glass of water in his hand and Penny had her paintball gun.

Penny then muttered, "You almost beat me," she had noticed Sheldon had more paint on his suit than on her's.

She continued, "So it means we're not completely even."

"Then what does make us 'even' by shooting me now?" Sheldon raised his eyebrows, not afraid of Penny.

"No this makes us even," Penny aimed her gun at the couch and shot 'Sheldon's' cushion three times. One last look at Sheldon and then Penny left.

Howard and Raj looked at each other, they were seriously scared.
