That night at Bernadette's, Howard and Bernadette were in bed.
Both of them were thinking about this whole Pryia thing. Bernadette wanted to talk to Leonard and see how he was doing. Howard wanted to kill Raj for acting like such a jackass to their friends.
"Howie, how is Leonard doing lately?" Bernadette broke the silence and both of their thoughts.
Howard looks to his fiancée and sighed. "Um, he's been okay. I think he and Penny are having some issues with Pryia being here." Bernadette nodded. "I know that. Penny isn't dealing with this well. Amy and I talked to her about it all. She is really insecure, I've never seen her like this before. Its understandable, but poor Leonard has a lot on his plate right now." Bernadette says with concern in her tone.
"Yeah, he told me what was going on. He told me penny wanted him to stay home with her today. That she was that scared Pryia was going to come and take him away from her." Howard shook his head. "Really? I didn't know that. I kind of want to give Raj a piece of my mind. You and I better talk to him." Bernadette said. Howard nods in agreement to his soon to be wife.
The next day, once Bernadette find out that Raj thought Howard was wrong and that Penny would never acted so needy and clingy with Leonard. She stormed over to his place and knocked loudly.
"Why are you being such an ass?! You are not acting like the friend you are, what is wrong with you?!" Bernadette yelled at him.
Since Raj couldn't talk he just shook his head in panic.
"Howard told me you don't believe that Leonard and Penny are having problems with your dear sister! He is your best friend and Leonard and Penny are your friends too! Don't you care how they feel? Penny has been a wreck, she loves Leonard and you know this is killing Leonard to see Penny like this."
Raj went to his fridge to get a beer and took a sip.
"Pryia is my sister what am suppose to do?" Raj asked.
"talk to her! Did you even tell her Leonard is with Penny?"
"Ah no..." He shook his head. "she hates Penny." Raj said with a shrug.
Bernadette rolled her eyes and scoffed at this. "so? She might stop the bugging and pushing Leonard to sleep with her." Bernadette said. Raj nods. "Maybe."
"Leonard really does need your help Raj. Penny is his whole world and he hates seeing her like this. Howard told me this whole thing is upsetting them both, I know Penny is because Amy and I talked to her about it." Bernadette said now calmed down enough to stop yelling at Raj.
"I will try. Pryia can be really stubborn about things. She will be here for awhile, like last time." Raj informed the short blonde. Bernadette nods at this information and sighed. Thinking that is this going to be a long couple months with Pryia and Leonard and Penny.
Meanwhile...
Leonard, Penny, and the Shamy were all piled in Leonard's car.
It was Thursday night, date night for Sheldon and Amy. Leonard and Penny had been asked by Amy to go out with them tonight. Amy felt bad for the couple and for her bestie. They had a lot going on right now and Amy thought a good and fun night out with friends and each other would be great for them.
Penny sat in the passenger seat she held his free hand in hers and her other hand went to his arm rubbing it gently. Amy and Sheldon sat in the back, Amy watching the couple.
"So Sheldon, what restaurant did you pick?" Penny asked looking to him.
Sheldon sighed. "Penny, Penny. If I tell you then that will give away the surprise." Sheldon said with the shake of the head.
Leonard rolled his eyes at his roommate. "Sheldon you know I hate surprises! Please tell me." Penny whined to him, she then faced Leonard and gave him a fake pout. "Please. Tell me and Ames. We want to know." Leonard shook his head playfully to his girlfriend and chuckled as she pouted for real. "Ames sweetie, tell the guys we want in on the surprise." Penny said turning her head back to look at her.
"Uh Penny I already know where we're going. The surprise is for you." Amy tells her.
Penny's mouth dropped open and she glared at both Amy and then Sheldon, she then turned to her boyfriend and hit him on the arm. "OW! Hey, what was that for?" Leonard cried, frowning at her.
"You know I hate surprises and secrets! Why am I the only one not to know?!" Penny yelled at him.
"Because, this night is all for you! I wanted you to have a fun night with your man, and forget all about Pryia." Amy tells her bestie. Penny looks shocked. She looked to Leonard who just looked ahead and forward, Penny smiled and leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you." she whispered to him and then turned to Amy and gave her a smile.
