Bachelor/Bachelorette parties.
Three weeks before wedding day- Saturday night.
"So what are you guys actually going to do?" Penny asked from the bathroom. "I'm not sure, Raj has planned it all, I had nothing to do with it!" Leonard replied from the bedroom. They were both getting ready for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, both planned by Amy and Raj. "He just told me to come to the comic book store at 8".
"Oh, I don't know what I'm doing either, Amy's planned it all, she just told me to be ready for 8 as well, do you recon they have been scheming against us?" Penny said walking into the bedroom with a towel wrapped around her. "It wouldn't surprise me if they had, although I hope they haven't planned anything stupid." Leonard said. "Yeah I know, I said to Amy that I didn't want any strippers or anything, I don't really get it!" Leonard smiled at this. He loved the fact that she didn't want any strippers. She had told him this before, she said that she had everything she ever dreamed of, so why would she want some man undressing in front of her? He walked over to her and kissed her. "You look a bit nervous" he said, slightly worried about her. He knew all of her faces, and could easily tell if something was bothering her. "I'm really nervous but I don't know why. I'm probably just scared of what Amy has planned!" she said with a slight giggle. "Don't worry, you girls will have a great night, you always do!" he told her- even if she couldn't remember half of it. "I know" she said, pulling him closer, "I do have one rule though." Leonard nodded, "Okay". "If there is a photo booth, you have to promise not to go in there with a lady" she said with a slight giggle, remembering what they did at Raj's Halloween party. Leonard laughed. "I promise" he said, as he leant down and kissed her. When they finally broke free, Penny pulled him in for a hug. She could smell his cologne; it was one of her favourite smells. After about 10 minutes, they finally parted so they could get ready.
Leonard was wearing a black suit jacket, with a white t-shirt underneath and black jeans. 'Wow, he looks so amazing' Penny thought to herself as he emerged from the bathroom. She gave him a seductive smile, which he mirrored. She was wearing a pink dress that hung to her figure perfectly. It was slightly longer than her other dresses, coming just above the knee. She felt comfier in something like this, and it meant that men wouldn't be as interested in her- which was always good, as she hated men coming up to her and asking her out. She loved Leonard, not some random other bloke. No one even compared to him.
Another half an hour flew by when Penny finally emerged from the bedroom. "How do I look?" she asked, walking towards Leonard. "You look absolutely stunning, you look so beautiful." He said, making Penny blush. Him saying things like that always gave her confidence and made her feel all warm inside. Many people had told her she was pretty, but she never really believed them. She thought that she was alright looking, not the prettiest girl in the world, but Leonard always made her feel loved and so special every time he said she was beautiful. She walked over to him and gave him a kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I love you so much" she said, once they broke. "I love you too gorgeous" Leonard replied, "You have a fun evening, and I'll see you when you get back." "Okay, be good" she said, winking. He laughed and gave her one last kiss then left.
When he got to the comic book store, he saw that all the tables had been pushed together, and all of his close friends and some work colleagues were sat round talking. As he entered they all shouted as Raj led him to his spot labelled 'bachelor'. The men sat, drank, talked and ate for most of the evening. Leonard and other drinking a bit too much, but nobody seemed to care. Howard kept stopping everyone and telling them some embarrassing stories about Leonard, who just sat there giggling, going a lovely shade of red.
The girls on the other hand turned up at Penny's apartment on time, rushing through the door, and practically jumping on her. They were all so hyped up talking about how amazing the night is going to be. Amy handed Penny a 'bride to be' sash with a matching tiara. Penny laughed and put them on. After that, they headed out to the clubs; to meet some of Penny's other friends. They had the VIP section of one club and decided to stay there. They drank, danced and drank some more. Penny was the centre of attention and she loved it. After about 2 hours, Penny started to crave for Leonard. She wanted to dance with her man, and be in his company. One, so the men in the club would stop checking her out and two, she really did want to be with him all the time. After talking to Bernadette, who said it was a good idea, they consulted Amy, as she did plan it. She agreed, so the girls decided to gate-crash they guys party.
After walking for what seemed like hours, the girls finally reached the comic book store. Penny walked in first. "Hey guys, I hope you don't mind if we join you" she said, slightly louder than usual, due to her being drunk. Leonard instantly perked up and walked over to meet her half way. "Of course not" Leonard said when he reached her. He leant in and kissed her gently on the lips. They pulled apart when Howard started to yell "Get a room", finding it not funny at all. All of the girls then filtered in, finding their specific men, or finding someone to talk to. Leonard got Penny a drink and then they moved to the corner of the room, so they could have some privacy. "So how has your night been?" Leonard asked. "Hum… quite good actually, there were no surprises or anything, and we had our own little area of a club, so just hung out there, but I missed you so much, so we decided to come here and now my night it so much better." She said with a massive smile on her face. She leant in and kissed him once again. "And how was yours?" she asked. "Well it was alright, food was good, good alcohol, but Howard started to tell embarrassing stories, and you know! But you coming here has really improved the night. I'm so glad you came, I hated not being with you." He said. Penny's heart swelled. She loved him so much, and she knew he felt the same way. She couldn't believe she had got so lucky. They stood there staring into each other's eyes for a few minutes, before they kissed each other again.
When they finally broke, they stood and observed their friends. Leonard had his arm wrapped around Penny, and she had her head in the nook of his neck. They were both quite surprised about how two very different groups of friends got on so well. Even Raj was talking to a girl. Penny noticed this almost immediately. "Looks like plan get Raj a girl is in full swing" Penny whispered to Leonard, aiming him chuckle. They saw Sheldon approach them, looking slightly mad. "Penny, can I ask you something?" he said. "What is it Sheldon?" She replied, a bit angry that he interrupted her alone time with Leonard. "I just wanted to ask why you and your 'girls' decided to come to what is called a bachelor party. Bachelor means a man, and you are not, so why are you here? I asked Amy and she said it was your idea, so why?" Penny sighed. She didn't know what to say to him, he always came up with silly things like this, wasn't it obvious why they had come? "Well Sheldon, I came because I wanted to see Leonard, I missed him, and I thought seeing his would make my night better." She said. Leonard squeezed her hand, letting her know that it was okay, and that the answer she gave was pretty good. Sheldon wouldn't understand why she really came. "So are you saying your night was bad?" he questioned, a bit confused still. "No it wasn't bad, it was pretty good, it's just that seeing Leonard improved it, he made my night amazing, rather than just good." She said, quite proud of her answer. "But that doesn't explain why all the other girls had to come." He said. Penny frowned, "I'm not just going to ditch them at my own party! Is there any problem them being here?" Sheldon thought for a moment. "Hum… I'm not really sure, but still it breaks the laws of a bache…"
"Give it a rest Sheldon, if you don't like them being here, then go home, because they aren't going anywhere" Leonard said. He was fed up of his friend keep asking why they were there. They had obviously improved the party, so he didn't understand what the problem was. "Fine, I'll stay, but it's just for you?" Sheldon said walking off. Leonard nodded and then sighed simultaneously with Penny. "Sorry about him, I don't understand what he's going on about, I love having you here, and he's just talking rubbish." Leonard said, placing his hands on her hips." I know, he's a pain, it's not your fault, I really can go if that would be easier?" she said, looping her hands around his neck. "No, I want you here. I love having you here. I love you! You're not going anywhere!" he said with a smile on his face. Penny giggled, "Okay then, I love you too, and I have spotted a photo booth here, would you like to go and explore?" she said, with a sly smile on her face. "Of course" Leonard replied, grabbing her hand and leading her towards the Tardis.
