There was a major change and the paper Sheldon and Amy were about to publish on super asymmetry. It was proven right and after it was published they were given high praise on it, to the point that a Nobel Prize was in their future.
At the comic book store, Denise announced to Stuart that her roommate was moving out and offered him the opportunity to move in with her. He ran away not giving her an answer, but it was easy to see he wasn't comfortable with the notion of cohabitating with her.
On the sofa in the comic book store, Anu and Raj were discussing their upcoming wedding and Raj got a message on his phone that there was someone at his apartment door.
Anu saw this, "I have a video-doorbell, but haven't figured out how to install it."
"Oh it is simple and I'll come over and have it running in nothing flat." He did and that evening, while visiting Howard and Bernie he got a notice that there was someone at her door. He saw it was a man, who Anu hugged and welcomed into her apartment. He went ballistic and wondered if she was cheating on him.
That weekend, the entire group got together for a paintball battle. Denise and Penny were captains. Denise picked first and she took Leonard. He was shocked, he was never taken first for any physical activity. Penny took Bernadette. In the second round Denise took Sheldon while Penny took Rajesh. In the third round Denise took Amy, while Penny took Anu. That left Stuart and Howard. Denise took Howard, she was still pissed at Stuart for not moving in with her and Penny ended up with Stuart.
Raj and Anu hid out and she turned to him, "This is very exciting, sneaking around like this."
He shrugged, "Oh, so you like sneaking around, good to know."
She leaned back away from him, "What's that supposed to mean?"
He tried to ignore it, "Nothing, never mind. Let me see of the coast is clear." He peaked over the wall and sat back down."
She looked up, "See anything?"
"Yes, I saw a strange man going into your house the other night!"
She was pissed, "WHAT? You were spying on me?"
He tried to get past that, "That is not the point. The point is who was that man?"
"Fine, that was my ex-boyfriend. Some of his stuff was still at my house, and he stopped by to pick it up."
"And did you give it to him Did you give him his stuff?"
She was really mad now, "If "stuff" means sex, then no. If "stuff" means his Waterpik, then yes!"
"So you're still talking to your ex-boyfriend?"
"Yes, and I'm not gonna apologize for that. And you need to delete that app from your phone."
"Because you're hiding something from me?"
"No, because you should trust me!"
"How can I trust you? I barely even know you!"
She stared at him and finally replied, "Then what are we doing? Why are we planning a wedding?"
He shook his head, "I don't know." He got up to leave and Denise blasted him with her paintball gun.
Denise was on a terror and she sought out Stuart. Stuart tried to escape but when he poked his head out, Denise shot him. He yelled out, "I'm hit!"
She ignored him and continued to blast away, sending paintball after paintball into his protected area and several more where he didn't have any padding. She smiled, getting even with him for not moving in.
Bernie was sneaking around and suddenly the door to the barn opened, she turned around and Howard blasted her before she could return fire. She screamed out, "Ow!"
He laughed, "Ha, Ha!" when he saw who it was he ran up to her, "Oh, sorry Bernie, I didn't know it was you."
She stared at him, "I can't believe you shot me!"
He chuckled, "I can't believe I did, either."
She blurted out, "Right in the chest."
"Sorry, that's gonna leave a bruise."
She cried out, "Yeah, a big one."
"Does it hurt?"
She nodded, "A little." All of a sudden she got all sexy, "You wanna kiss it and make it better?"
He nodded, "I do!" They both began to giggle and they ran into the barn, closing the door behind them.
They put down their guns, ripped off their goggles and vests and worked quickly to strip their clothes off. Howard won out and began planting hot kisses all over Bernie's chest, especially where the paintball hit. He moved to her lush curves and she dropped to her knees and began sucking wildly at his stiff cock.
Howard pulled her pigtails out and fisted her hair as he guided her head up and down on his cock. She was gobbling up his cock like it was going to be the last one she ever sucked on.
She broke free and straddled his waist and reaching back, she guided his cock into her already wet pussy.
All of a sudden Denise threw open the door and scream out, "Aha!" She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw Bernie riding Howard. She was gonna leave, but Bernie turned back to her, "Hey, you wanna join us?"
Denise ran over and locked the door and she was naked in nothing flat. She joined the two of them and over the hour, Howard had to prove to the two of them he was up for the challenge. He was and they both decided paintball battles were a lot more fun naked and without the paintball guns.
The next day, Stuart came into the comic book store covered in bruises. Denise saw him and she was sorry about shooting him repeatedly, "I'm sorry I hurt you and your feelings too."
He stepped over to her, "Look, I'm sorry that I freaked out. It's just that things are going so good with us, and I'm afraid that if we go too fast, I am going to mess it up."
She chuckled, "I get that, I don't want to mess things up, either."
He let out a huge sigh and reached for his pocket, "Um, I got you something." He handed her a key, "It's a key to my place to show you that I'm serious."
She took it and smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you, well, isn't this technically a key to Howard and Bernadette's place?"
He nodded, "Yes, so don't ever use it or let them know that you have it."
She reached out for him, "Come here!"
He stepped back, "OH! NO! I appreciate it, but seriously, I'm completely covered in bruises."
She leaned in, "Kiss?" He nodded, "Gently. She did and he still let out a ouch!
The next week, Bernadette, Penny and Amy were at a bar sipping drinks, Bernie took a big sip, "This is so great, why don't we do it more often?"
Amy scoffed, "Because you have two kids, I have Sheldon, and Penny's apparently in the gym all the time, because, damn, look at her!"
Bernie replied, "Yeah, so impressive how you manage to bounce back after having no babies."
Penny chuckled, "Ah, another reason why we don't do this more often."
The bartender came over to the table, "I have a bottle of champagne for you ladies."
Bernie looked up, "Oh, we didn't order this."
He pointed to the bar, "It's from the gentleman at the end of the bar."
