The Concept is Conceived

Penny, Amy and Bernadette were enjoying a nice bottle of wine together at the Hofstadter apartment when Penny sighed a very loud, bored sigh. Bernadette asked what was wrong.

"It's Saturday night, I'm married and I'm still sitting here with you all while my man is across the hall playing games with his friends."

"You didn't think it would really change did you?" Amy asked. Penny nodded slightly.

"Look at Howie and I. We have to work hard at finding alone time together with Stuart around and a new video game coming out monthly that just has to be played or the universe will spontaneously com bust," Bernadette said a little too strongly. Amy patted her leg telling her it was alright.

"We need to find another game that we can all play," Amy said. "Remember when we played Dungeons and Dragons. That was fun wasn't it?"

"You know Leonard and I tried to play games in bed but he asks way too many question," Penny said.

"I don't think I want to play a game that the guys always play. Let's think of something that we would enjoy more," Bernadette suggested. The girls sat, sipping their wine and thinking.

"Truth or Dare?" Amy suggested after a while.

"We tried that between us. I can't imagine the guys having any secrets they don't want revealed," Penny replied.

"Yeah we know them too well. And they would probably want to do dares that involve drone or uranium," Bernadette agreed.

"We know our own guys but what if our guys were different guys," Penny said mulling it over in her mind. Bernadette and Amy looked at her puzzled.

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

"What if instead of Sheldon meeting you at that coffee house it was Raj? Or I set you up with Sheldon instead of Howard Bernie?" Penny said excitedly.

"I don't understand. You want us to swap husbands or boyfriends?" Bernadette asked.

"I think our relationships work because we are with the guys we are suppose to be with," Amy said. Even though she wasn't technically with Sheldon at the present time, she would always consider him the one.

"Well I think it would be fun," Penny said giving them her look that they better agree.

"I don't think the guys would go along with it. Leonard still feels guilty about what happened on the ship," Bernadette replied.

"And we have four guys and only three of us," Amy stated.

"We'll just have to bring Emily in on this. Bernadette you call her while I make up the new matches," Penny said getting up and going into her bedroom to get paper and a pen.

"I don't think this is a good idea," Amy said. "This could really send Sheldon in a spiral to try to relate to someone else." Bernadette thought about it for a moment.

"I'm sure Penny will put herself with Sheldon. I can't imagine she would want Howard and she's already been with Raj."

"Okay I've got the matches," Penny said sitting back down. "It wasn't easy and I almost changed my mind in wanting to do this."

"Then maybe we shouldn't," Amy said.

"No, I said we're doing this and so we're doing this," Penny said strongly. The girls looked at each other and wondered what had gotten into Penny.

"I called Emily and she said she's in. I guess we can fill her in when we tell the guys," Bernadette said.

"So who gets who?"

"I was thinking and thinking and almost gave myself a headache since we all have so much history with each of them. Well except Emily. So I put their names on a piece of paper and I think we should just randomly pick." Penny put the box in front of Amy first.

"Rajesh," Amy said. Penny smiled.

"Howard," Bernadette said enthusiastically. Penny shook her head no and made Bernadette pick again. "Sheldon."

"Okay that leaves Howard with me and Emily will get Leonard."

"Fasten your seat belts, this is going to be a bumpy ride," Bernadette said and then downed the rest of her wine.
