Author's note: The series continues with this season 6, episode 22. 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.

A couple days after the brief encounter between Penny and Sheldon on his living room floor, Leonard and Penny were at his desk. He was walking her through a way to program the computer to fire a rubber-tipped rocket at Sheldon who was working at his desk near them. He pointed to the screen, "You put your horizontal X-coordinate here, vertical Y-coordinate here. When you're happy with those, press the button."
She did as instructed and replied, "Got it!" The rocket spun around in Sheldon's direction.
As Penny was redirecting the rocket launcher, Sheldon called out, "Leonard, you'll never guess who I just found online." Penny launched the rocket and it hit him square in the middle of his head, He yelled out, "Hey!" He spun towards the two of them.
Leonard chuckled, "Nice shot!"
Penny scoffed, "Eh, his giant head did most of the work."
Leonard chuckled again as Sheldon picked up the dart, "Very mature, you're lucky I'm out of Silly String." He put the dart in his desk drawer, "As I was saying, Leonard, you'll never guess who I just found online, Professor Proton."
He moved over behind Sheldon, "You're kidding, he's still alive?"
"Yes."
Penny was re-aiming her rocket launcher, but tried to distract him, "Who's Professor Proton?"
Leonard was looking over Sheldon's shoulder reading about the Professor, "He was the host of this great-HEY!" Penny launched another dart and it hit Leonard right where she was aiming it.
She gave him a fist pump, "Yesssssssss! Sorry, tell me about Professor Proton."
Sheldon cut in, "Professor Proton hosted my favorite science show when I was a child. I never missed an episode. He demonstrated scientific principles using everyday objects."
Leonard added, "It was pretty cool."
Penny giggled, "Aw, it's so cute when you use the word "cool" wrong. Like when kids say "pasghetti."
Sheldon read on, "Oh, dear Lord, Leonard, look. He's still available for parties and events. We could hire him."
Leonard was still looking at his online site, "Hire him to do what?"
"Whatever we want. Hang out, do experiments, make him take 12 pictures with us so we can make a calendar."
Leonard nodded, "It would be awesome to hang out with him" He turned and looked to Penny, "I just used "awesome" wrong, didn't I?"
She just smiled at him, knowing he knew he did wrong.
Sheldon began typing, "Well, I'm e-mailing him right now."
The following day, Sheldon came running into the cafeteria where the other three were eating lunch, "It's happening, Leonard, it's happening. Professor Proton is coming to our house."
Leonard had a big smile on his face, "You're kidding."
"No, all I needed to do was write him a big check."
A few days later, Sheldon was pacing because Professor Proton was late. He finally called and informed Sheldon he was on the landing of the third floor. He was out of breath and saw a bright light.
Sheldon, Leonard and Penny hurried down to take his case up to the next floor and assist him making it there.
When he saw Penny, he perked up and made it up the next flight of stairs without a problem. He turned to Leonard, "Is the blonde girl really your girlfriend?"
Leonard nodded and chuckled when Professor Proton added, "You're the genius."
He made it upstairs, did some experiments and amazed Penny with his knowledge. He was stunned when Penny thought the potato could be the breakthrough for the energy crisis. He turned to Leonard, "You're a physicist, what do you two talk about?" He couldn't see the two complete opposites ever being a real couple.
While doing another experiment, he had an episode and had to sit down. He thought his pacemaker was malfunctioning.
Penny picked up the potato and tried handing it to him, "Here maybe you can plug it into the potato."
He stared at her and shook his head, "No!"
The EMT came and carried him downstairs and rushed him to the hospital. He was glad; at least he didn't have to navigate all those stairs again on his own.
At the hospital, Sheldon sang him, "Soft Kitty", several times and he was ecstatic when Professor Proton asked him to stand-in for him on the next couple of children's parties seeing he was going to be laid up recovering in the hospital.
The following weekend Bernadette, Penny and Amy climbed into a cab. They were on their way to the Burbank Airport. From there the three of them were flying off to Vegas for a fun filled weekend.
Back in the apartment, the four nerds were settling in for a long weekend of D&D. Leonard was giving Howard the chance to be the dungeon master, but Sheldon wasn't sure if he was up for the task. Once he saw how he used voices of famous celebrities, he was won over and even proposed to make him the permanent dungeon master.
As they started, Raj received a call from Lucy. Her assignment at work was postponed and she was free to spend time with him. He quickly killed himself off and hurried to meet up with her. It left them short a person, but they struggled along.
Just then the door flew open and in walked Penny; Bernadette and Amy came in behind her. Bernie and Penny were upset because Amy caused a scene at the security checkpoint and roughed up a TSA agent and was put on a no-fly list. This caused them to miss their flight and their getaway weekend in Vegas was cancelled.
Raj met up with Lucy, they had drinks and then dinner. He pressed her to tell the waiter her crab cakes tasty funky. She broke down and hurried to the bathroom. She climbed out the window to escape returning to the table, but when she dropped from the window, she turned and found herself behind a chained area. She panicked and had to call Raj.
Back at the apartment Amy was upset she ruined the weekend, "You guys enjoy your evening. I'm gonna go before I ruin anybody else's weekend."
Sheldon looked up from the game board, "That's my girl."
She turned to leave, but Leonard stopped her, "Amy, wait. I know it's not the night you had in mind, but why don't you stay and play? It'll be fun."
Sheldon flew off the handle, "FUN? Okay three weeks ago you brought crunchy peanut butter, but now you want the girls to play D&D with--Do you have a drug problem?"
"What's the big deal" Raj bailed, so we could use some extra players."
Sheldon was shaken, "I've never played Dungeons and Dragons with girls before."
Penny was sitting on the arm of the sofa, "Oh, don't worry sweetie, no one has."
