*****
The guys were in the apartment playing "War Lords of Ka'a. Leonard just put down card for the win, but as always, Sheldon made up his own rules and played a card, "Not so fast!" He played "Infinite Sheldon!"
Leonard looked at him with dismay, "Infinite Sheldon?"
"Yes, infinite Sheldon defeats all other cards, and does not violate the rule against homemade cards. I made it at work."
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door, Leonard went to answer it and called back to Sheldon, "You understand why people don't wanna play with you?"
"No, although it's a question I've been pondering since preschool."
He opened the door and Penny was there, "Hey."
She replied, "Hey!"
All of a sudden Zack popped in from behind her, "Hey!"
Penny continued, "Hey, your copy of Science magazine was in my mailbox."
He took it, "Oh, thanks!"
Zack added, "Check it out, all about planets this month."
Leonard looked down at the magazine and shook his head, "That's an atom!"
Zack looked down at it, "Agree to disagree. That's what I love about science. There's no one right answer."
Leonard turned to the other three in the room and smiled. He turned back to Penny, "So you and Zack again, huh?"
She wasn't about to tell him how Bernadette, Amy and her spend a few night ago fucking him and his roommate. She cleared her throat, "Yeah, yeah, me and Zack again."
Zack lost the line of conversation, "Were we here earlier?"
She suddenly realized, he was never going to wise up, "Okay, we should go." Zack stopped her, "Not yet, I wanna talk science with the science dudes."
Howard mockingly replied, "Oh, and the science dudes wanna talk science with you."
Penny put her head down, ashamed she even came over.
Howard continued, "What do you wanna talk about, rocks, dinosaurs, our friend the beaver?"
Zack sat down and began munching in a red vine. "I saw this thing on the Discovery Channel. It turns out that if you kill a starfish, it'll just come back to life."
Sheldon looked up from his cards, "Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might've been watching Nickelodeon."
All of the guys were laughing, but Zack missed it, "No, I'm almost sure that it was the Discovery Channel. It was a great show. They also said dolphins might be smarter than people."
Leonard was standing behind him, "They might be smarter than some people." They were all laughing again and Penny had a disgusted look on her face. She was getting pissed at the nerds, piling on Zack and he didn't even realize it.
Zack continued, "Well, maybe we can do an experiment to find out."
Sheldon jumped in, "That would be easy enough, we'd need a large tank of water, a hoop to jump through and a bucket of whatever bite-sized treats you find tasty."
They were all laughing again; even Zack and he looked to Sheldon, "I don't get it!"
Leonard patted him on the shoulder, "A dolphin might."
It hit him all of a sudden, "Oh, I see, you guys are inferring that I'm stupid."
Sheldon took over again, "That's not correct, we were implying it. You then inferred it." They were all laughing again.
Zack got up and hurried out of the apartment passing Penny, "Let's go!"
Penny stood there fuming over the treatment they gave Zack, "You know, for a group of guys who claim they spent most of their lives being bullied you can be real jerks. Shame on all of you!" She left, pulling the door behind her."
Raj sat there and put out his arms, "What the hell did I do?"
She opened the door and yelled at him, "You laughed!" She slammed the door shut again.
Leonard turned to the other guys, "Do you think Penny was right? Were we bullying Zack?"
Howard chuckled, "No, I know bullying. He left here unswirled, and his ass crack was underpants-free."
Raj added, "And nobody drew a penis on his forehead."
Leonard nodded, "I don't know, we might owe the guy an apology."
Howard answered, "So go apologize."
"Why me?"
"You started it, we just piled on."
"What would I even say?"
Sheldon broke in, "Zack, I'm sorry you're stupid. Have a Milk Dud!"
Raj looked at him, "A Milk Dud?"
"He nodded, "Yeah, Milk Duds, with their self-deprecating name and remarkably mild flavor, they are the most apologetic of boxed candies."
Leonard leaned back, "Well, I got a better idea. We're all responsible, I say we all go." He stood up, but the rest of them stayed seated, "Come on, who's with me?" They still stayed seated, "Free comic books to anyone who comes with me." Still they didn't move, "I might get punched. You really wanna miss that?" They all got us to follow him.
Raj tapped Sheldon on the shoulder, "Junior Mints are pretty apologetic."
Sheldon scoffed at him, "You're embarrassing yourself."
Leonard knocked on the door and Sheldon called out, "Penny!"
She opened the door, still pissed off, "What?"
"We came to talk to Zack." He stood up and came to the door and Leonard stepped back, "Hey Zack."
"What do you want?"
Leonard continued, "Listen, the stuff we were saying before, we were just kidding around."
"No you weren't. You were making fun of me."
"Come on, that's what we do. We give each other a hard time." He turned to Sheldon, "Hey Sheldon, you look like a praying mantis."
Sheldon smirked, "That's very hurtful."
Leonard turned back to Zack, "See?"
"I don't know, it still wasn't very nice."
Sheldon extended his hand to Zack, "Milk Dud?"
Zack grabbed them, "Oh, I love Milk Duds." He started munching on them, "Okay, we're cool."
Sheldon turned to Raj and shook his head, "Junior Mints!"
Zack cut in, "You wanna come in and have a beer?"
Leonard put up his hand, "No thanks, we're on our way to the comic book store, I'm buying."
