(Fictional story about fictional characters)
***
Leonard and Penny were on their way home from dropping his roommate Dr. Sheldon Cooper off at the airport. Sheldon had been forced by CalTech to use some of his accrued vacation time, so he had decided to fly back to Texas to visit his family (especially his beloved MeeMaw) during the holiday season. Penny and Leonard were excited at the prospect of having some "alone" time; and some "without-Sheldon" time because had been especially annoying lately...even more so than usual. Suddenly Penny had an inspiration: "let's pick up a tree and have a decorating party."
"That's a great idea," Leonard agreed, "having Sheldon gone is enough to celebrate, but your idea legitimizes it. We can invite our friends...and ask them to bring an ornament for the tree."
"Ooo, ooo, I know," Penny giggled excitedly, "we can ask everyone to bring a DVD of their favorite holiday movie, and a blanket, and make it an all night party."
"Yeah, and ask them to chip in with something to drink or eat," Leonard suggested. Penny was already sending texts to their friends when Leonard spied a Christmas tree lot and pulled over.
By the time they had dragged the five foot Fraser Fir up the three flights of stairs to Apartment 4A, Leonard was ready to pull out his inhaler, "give me five minutes and we'll put the tree in the stand so it will be all ready for tomorrow night." It took them about an hour to get the tree straight in the tree-stand and Leonard remarked, "you know this would have really annoyed me except for three magic words...Sheldon's not here!"
"I know," Penny agreed, sitting on the floor looking up at the bare tree, "he would have set there in his spot and given directions the whole time without ever lifting a finger...we deserve this break."
Sitting around their table in the lunchroom at CalTech the next day, Leonard and his friends were discussing the tree decorating party. "So Sheldon won't be there," Raj Koothrappali asked.
"Nope, he's in Texas," Leonard assured him.
"That's good...he's been super annoying lately," Raj offered.
"I know...I don't know what his problem is," Leonard said.
"It's funny...I haven't noticed a difference," Howard Wolowitz stated, "he's always super annoying. So who's coming tonight?"
"Well, besides you guys and Bernadette, we invited Stuart and Penny invited Will Wheaton, since they're working on that movie together."
"Oh right...Serial Apeist 2," Howard spoke up, "can't wait to see it."
"There's no shower scene in this one," Leonard informed him with a stern look.
"Damn," Howard pouted.
As they were talking, Barry Kripke walked by and overheard their conversation, "pah-ty...did I hear something about a pah-ty...what time should I be they-ah." The three friends just looked at each other speechless as Barry added, "they-ah might be some avai-wabah time on the new compu-tah for my f-wiends ."
Howard was the first to speak: "Christmas tree trimming party at Leonard's tonight. Bring an ornament, a holiday movie and some food...it might be an all-nighter...oh and Sheldon is away."
Leonard just glared at Howard as Kripke answered, "I'wah be they-ah...no Coo-pah...too bad...what about his femawah f-wend."
"No, Amy took advantage of Sheldon's trip to go visit her mother," Raj informed him.
"Why did you do that," Leonard wanted to know when Kripke had gone.
"Hey, free time on the super-computer," Howard replied, "it doesn't hurt to have that favor in the bank for future use...besides, he's not that bad...he makes me look good."
Leonard and Penny went all out for the tree trimming party, even buying a four foot sub sandwich that they cut up into small lengths. Penny had picked up two gallons of Lactaid eggnog so that even Leonard could partake of the holiday classic; along with three bottles of rum to spike it. "That's the only reason anyone ever drinks eggnog," she explained, "without the rum it's horrible." Bags of chips and bowls of onion dip were placed on the kitchen counter along with the ubiquitous clear plastic tumblers adorned with red and green holly prints. She had not been pleased when Leonard told her that Kripke was coming: "he's just sooo creepy...worse than Howard, especially since he started dating Bernadette."
"Hey, don't blame me," Leonard explained, "save your wrath for Howard...he's the sycophant...always kissing up. There's only one person I kiss up to," and he grinned from ear to ear.
"Yeah that's right, and don't you ever change," Penny laughed as she playfully slapped his butt. "Nice jammies, by the way," she complimented him. Everyone had texted back and forth and finally agreed to wear comfy, festive pajamas to the over-nighter. Leonard's were a Christmas Star Wars flannel that she had given him as an early gift. Penny had chosen an over-sized Grinch t-shirt over black leggings.
Leonard had noticed that her ample breasts were wobbling freely every time she moved, her gumrop nipples threatening to poke through the material, and asked, "I know you wanted to be comfortable, but I have to know...are you completely commando?"
"Play your cards right, my little Ewok, and you'll find out," she winked.
Unfortunately, Barry Kripke was the first to show up and when he took off his coat he revealed his black satin pajamas. The disconcerting thing was that the bottoms were shorts, and there was just something uncomfortable about his pasty white legs. Penny couldn't help notice that there was no definition to them; they were just straight up and down. "Hey Wen-ard...wookin' good Penny," he announced, "I bwought a bottle of wum."
"Woo hoo, we're drowning in rum," Penny exclaimed, "what movie did you bring."
"Bad Santa," he smiled, "nothing says Cwistmas like stwippahs and midgets.
"I believe they prefer Little People," Penny offered.
"Hey when they gwow up they can make the wules," Kripke chuckled at his attempt at a joke. He immediately plopped down in Sheldon's spot on the sofa and began to stare at Penny's chest as her breasts flopped around inside her t-shirt. Luckily, almost instantly, Bernadette, Howard, Raj and Stuart came through the door. It was obvious that satin or silk was the choice of material for the overnight party. Howard and Bernadette had shared two pair of pj's; one red and the other green. Howard was wearing the green top and red bottoms, and Bernadette was of course the reverse...they really looked cute.
Removing any doubt, Howard stated, "they're real silk...they feel so sexy against the skin." Penny thought that was obvious because, even though she was wearing a bra of some kind, Bernadette's nipples were clearly visible.
