Author's note: The series continues with this season 6, episode 15. The series doesn't reset, but follows the show's story sequence.
One of my readers requested adding pictures of the new characters, but this is not allowed by Literotica. When a new character is introduced, I will put in parenthesis the character's real name so you can look them up on the internet.

Sheldon and Kripke finished their project together and he was now typing up a summary of the project.
Leonard was lying on the sofa reading a Harry Potter book, "I don't know why I avoided the Harry Potter books for so long. These are great. I just started number six."
Sheldon broke in, "That's a good one. Dumbledore dies in that one." He looked over at Leonard and saw the shock on his face, "Yeah, I know, I didn't see it coming, either."
"Why would you say that?"
"You brought up a subject; I contributed a fact on that subject. It's called the art of conversation. Okay, your turn."
Leonard sat up, closed the book and tossed it to the floor, "That was a huge spoiler."
Sheldon nodded, "Good."
Leonard stood up, "What is wrong with you? If I did that, you'd bitch about it for weeks."
"Really, Leonard? Gonna have one of your hissy fits?"
Leonard went nuts, "Hissy fits? I have hissy fits?
"Yeah, and I have a theory why. Because of your lactose intolerance, you switched over to soy milk. Soy contains estrogen-mimicking compounds. I think your morning Cocoa Puffs are turning you into a hysterical woman." He got up and went into the kitchen.
Leonard went off the handle; "You are unbelievable. I don't know why I put up with you? You're controlling, you're irritating."
Sheldon cut him off, "There you go again. Nag, nag, nag! You're only proving my point, little lady."
Leonard had it, "You know what, screw you, Sheldon. You're the most annoying person I've ever met."
He came back into the living room, "I'm annoying? You criticize my behavior all the time, "Sheldon, don't talk about your bowel movements over breakfast." "Sheldon, when the president of the university is giving a eulogy at a funeral, don't yawn and point at your watch." "Sheldon, don't throw away my shirts because they're ugly." You're impossible."
Leonard was through with it, "That's it; I don't have to put up with this."
"Actually, I have your signature on a roommate agreement that says you do."
He pulled the agreement out of his desk and dropped it on the desktop.
Leonard came rushing back into the room and picked it up, "Aww, here's what I think of your roommate agreement. He threw it in the trash.
He let out a gasp and stood up, "You pick that up right now."
"NO! I don't have to do anything you say, because I don't think I wanna live here anymore." He grabbed his coat.
Sheldon blurted out, "Where are you going?"
"To live with Penny and not you, you crazy bastard!"
"Crazy bastard?"
"YES!"
"Leonard, wait!"
"What?"
"Dobby the Elf dies in book seven."
Leonard left the apartment and slammed the door behind him.
At Howard's apartment, Raj came over to return a suitcase he borrowed months ago. Bernadette won an all-expenses paid week-end in Vegas with a few big wigs at her company because she turned a failed drug into a money making venture.
Howard asked Raj to look in at his mother's house. He had to do some begging but Raj finally agreed.
Back in Penny's apartment, Leonard went on and on about what a lousy roommate Sheldon was. "I swear that man is the most egotistical, insufferable human being I have ever met."
Penny was drying dishes and she mocked him, "Yeah, but you two make such a cute couple, like Bert and Ernie. You guys even teach me stuff about words and numbers." She cracked up and picked up more dishes to fry.
"Well, I've had it, I am done. I can't live with him one more minute."
"Wow, where are you gonna go?"
He took a big sip of wine he had in his hand, "Well, I was thinking here with you."
She was facing away from him. Her eyes shot open wide and she nearly dropped the plate she was drying. "OH!"
"Is there a problem?"
She took a deep breath and turned back towards him, "No, no, no, it's great, it's terrific. You know, I just can't help feel bad about Sheldon. I mean, how's he gonna get by without you...Ernie?"
"He's got Amy now."
She was in shock, "Yeah, he does, but it's not the same."
"Why?"
She put down the plate and looked at him, "Um...Well, all right, you know how in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ron didn't abandon Harry because Harry started dating Ron's sister?"
Leonard leaned over the counter, and in a disgusted reply called out, "Harry and Ginny get together?"
Her jaw dropped, "Sorry, spoiler alert. My point is, as much as I want to live with you, I can't do it knowing how much Sheldon needs you.'
"Please! The only thing he needs me for is to be his whipping boy; his stooge, his doormat."
