You can all blame this one on BreathlessFaith. It was inspired by her vague threats of whips, Steve McQueen and the sci-fi monster Blob.
:Howard vs. the Blob:
There were fires everywhere he looked. He cringed as Bernadette and Penny crowded up against him. Leonard was whimpering behind them. Ever since they had lost Raj and Amy, the morale of the group had dropped to almost nothing. Howard moved up around Bernadette and peered around the corner.
"It's massive," he said in a low murmur. "It just keeps growing bigger and bigger with each person it devours."
"Is there nothing we can do?" Penny asked, fear making her voice tremble.
"Shouldn't we be trying to get out of the city?" Bernadette asked.
"We're doomed," Leonard moaned. "What's the use? We're all going to die here."
Sheldon watched determination fill Howard's gaze. " I'm not giving up," the engineer said stoutly. "This thing got hurt when it was hit by that taser earlier. If it can be hurt, it can be killed. We just have to find a way to do it."
Sheldon began to shake his head and suggest they find a vehicle to get out of town in, when Howard suddenly grabbed Penny's hand. He pulled her across the street at a fast clip. After a second, Bernadette followed. Sheldon grabbed Leonard's shirt collar and followed quickly. Howard kicked in the door of the drug store across the street and rushed inside. They followed him to the roof where he immediately pulled a massive pistol from his back pocket. It reminded him of the weapons in Halo.
Sheldon watched in amazement as Howard took careful aim and waited. Slowly the gigantic blob approached the building. When it was only a few yards away, Howard pulled the trigger three times. The electrical lines over the street sparked furiously and then swung down as if in slow motion.
The blob burst into flames as the strong electrical current coursed through it. It sizzled and melted in on itself. As soon as it was nothing more than a scorched puddle of goo, the group cheered loudly.
Sheldon watched in horror as Penny flung her arms around Howard tightly. "My hero!" she said breathlessly before kissing him passionately. Howard's arms wrapped around Penny and he dipped her low.
Sheldon jolted awake with a screeching "NOOOOOO!"
Leonard swerved in shock, causing Howard and Raj to yell in alarm. "What the hell, Sheldon?!"
"Dude! It was just a dream!" Raj exclaimed.
Howard clutched at the door handle in fear. "What the frak were you dreaming about?"
Sheldon turned and swatted Howard with his itinerary from the sci-fi convention. "You keep your hands off my woman!" he said savagely.
Everyone cringed away from Sheldon as he turned back around to face the front of the car. No one said another word as they traveled back to Pasadena. It wasn't until Sheldon was settling in his bed for the night that he realized what he had said. Penny was his woman? Since when? And how did he tell Amy and Leonard?
