So it's not long and it doesn't have any direct Leonard and Penny in it, but I was suffering from writer's block with this chapter. I did love the episode. I thought it was clever, but it was hard to find any Penny/Leonard moments to write about. So I went ahead with a Penny/Sheldon friendship moment. I hope you don't mind.

Enjoy!

Chapter 7: The Agreement Dissection

Penny sat perched on the arm of her couch, waiting. Just a few minutes earlier, Sheldon had shoved past her and into her bathroom, the door slamming behind him. Although the occurrence had confused Penny slightly, stranger things had happened concerning Dr. Whack-a-Doodle. A smile slowly slid across her face as she recalled the night a few weeks after moving in, when Sheldon and Leonard had snuck into her apartment while she was sleeping to clean. At the time, she had been completely shocked and creeped out. Looking around her apartment now, she realized that it hadn't been that clean since.

Hearing the toilet flush and her bedroom door open soon after, Penny glanced over her shoulder to see her quirky neighbor entering the room, tightening his bathrobe, a bright smile plastered on his face. Standing beside her now, Sheldon spoke," Thank you, Penny, for allowing me to use your bathroom. My bladder thanks you as well."

Penny smiled back," Well you and your bladder are welcome, I guess. Why were you using my bathroom anyways? What's wrong with yours?" She questioned, curious.

Sheldon's smile faded. His lips formed a tight line and his expression appeared far off, as if thinking hard about something. "Her." He mumbled, his tone enraged. Penny had only heard him use that voice when referring to either Will Wheaton or Kripke. Oh, Penny was definitely curious now.

She raised an eyebrow and urged him to continue, "What did she do?" Penny knew who 'she' was. She was very much aware of Sheldon's displeasure with Priya. He was sure to inform Penny of everything that she did to annoy him.

"She violated The Roommate Agreement!" Sheldon practically shouted the statement.

Ah, of course. Penny nodded slowly, "Okayyy." She drug the word out, waiting on him to explain further. When all she received was Sheldon staring into space, still frowning, eyes filled with anger, she continued, "What did she do, Sweetie?"

Sheldon's head snapped in her direction, "Leonard was in the shower this morning and, while normally, I don't care to void my bladder in front of other people, I was willing to make an exception this morning, seeing as it was an emergency. But she was in there too."

Penny's heart dropped at his words. She suddenly felt queasy, her stomach turning. Standing and pulling her robe closed, Penny decided she didn't like where this conversation was going. "Sheldon, just go back home and try to ignore her."

"But Penny! The Roommate Agreement Section-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Penny interrupted, waving her hands in the air," Section 7."

Sheldon simply stared at her, undoubtedly not believing she had remembered that much about the roommate agreement. Penny couldn't really either, although, secretly she was a tad bit proud.

"That's right," Sheldon said, amazed.

"Yeah, you kind of drilled a lot of that into my head. I still have nightmares about it sometimes." Sheldon shot her a glare. She sighed, "Look, Sweetie, just go over and try to talk to them about this. Try to work it out, please." Any other time, she would've offered more; she sometimes felt a protectiveness over Sheldon that a mother would feel for their young child. But, Penny didn't think she could handle hearing more about Leonard in the shower with another woman. Her stomach turned again at the thought.

After finally agreeing, Sheldon left the apartment, a wicked grin on his face meaning he was up to something and was already planning to get back at the couple across the hall. Penny was sure she'd be hearing about it later. Grabbing her phone off of the coffee table, Penny typed out a quick message and pressed send, hoping her friends would be up for it.

'Girl's night tonight? I'm in the mood for some Priya bashing!"

The next afternoon, her hangover beginning to fade, Penny made her way down the last flight of stairs. Her stomach and her bare cabinets had finally convinced her to get up and go buy some food. Reaching the lobby of her apartment complex, she saw Sheldon walking away from the mailboxes, letters and a couple of magazines in hand. He face lit up in a smile when he noticed her, "Ah, Penny! Good afternoon."

Penny stood in the same spot, staring at him. "What's got you so peppy today?"

"I settled the previous troubles I was having since you last saw me." His smile seemed to grow even more as he spoke.

"Oh. Good." Penny nodded, unsure what to make of that. She couldn't help but be a little interested in what had happened.

Before she could dig any further though, his expression grew serious suddenly, "Penny?"

" Yes, Sheldon?" She asked, a little worried now.

"I just want you to know, while I found countless things you did or situations you put me through annoying and a waste of time-Don't roll your eyes, I'm actually going somewhere with this."

Penny smiled, "Sorry , Sheldon. Continue." She crossed her arms, waiting.

"As I was saying," He started, "while I was not fond of your choices in entertainment or how you choose to keep your apartment arranged or many other things in your life, especially how loud you were during your coital encounters," Penny felt a slight blush rise at his comment, "I have to admit: I was more pleased with you than other mates Leonard has brought home recently." Sheldon paused, "If you catch my drift."

Penny's heart melted at his confession. She lifted her hand to lay against her chest, "Sheldon, Sweetie, I'm touched."

"You should be," Sheldon agreed, causing her to laugh. "Now, let's go to the comic book store. I need a ride."

Penny was in such a good mood at the moment, she didn't even argue. "I'll take you. I have to get groceries afterwards though, if that's okay?"

"Can I push the buggy?" Sheldon asked, eagerly.

"Of course you can, Sweetie." She started walking to the front entrance, Sheldon following close behind. As she reached for the door handle, he spoke again.

"You know, Penny, last night, I didn't care for the drinking or the dancing, but I did enjoy the Priya bashing." Penny smiled, holding the door open for him to walk through, as he continued talking," Although, having Amy try to drunkenly shove her tongue down my throat that night and then proceed to throw up did leave me wondering if I should even bother joining the three of you again."

Penny stood, watching him walk towards her car, mouth hanging open in shock. It wasn't until he was several feet ahead of her before she let the door shut, chasing after him, "Amy kissed you?!"
