                      Leonard gets up, dusts himself off,mounts his horse and prances over to Penny. "Ma'am." he introduces himself. She swoons. 

                     Wakes up. Sees Leonard lying beside her, smiles and goes back to sleep.

scene 3.      At breakfast.

Leonard:      Had a funny dream last night.

Penny:          Yeah, me too.

                        Both silently go about making their breakfast.

scene 4.         Howard and Bernadette at home together.

Howard:         Howdy partner!

Bernadette:    Howdy Howie.

Howard:          Well isn't this just cosy, the two of us.

                          Almost as if we were home on the range.

                          Takes off his cowboy boots and hat. Bernadette takes off hers.

Howard:            That was a fun costume party.

Bernadette:      what about Penny coming dressed as a bride.

Howard:             And Leonard trying to muscle in on our act.

Bernadette:        Raj looked good as an Indian prince.

Howard:              Yeah, but sheldon was a little out of character as Sherlock Holmes, with his monocle and top hat.

Bernadette:         That was Amy's idea. and she looked cute as Mrs Holmes, with her19th century outfit. didn't look out of character at all.

howard:                 Nah!

Bernadette:          Although I was a little surprised when she got him to dance.

howard:                 So was I. He never ceases to amaze us. Just when you think you have sheldon pegged.

Bernadette:         Amy might have found the way to Sheldon's heart, finally.

howard:                Music, dancing?

Bernadette:          No her matching 19th century outfits.

Howard:                So thats it! sheldon really is from a space-time warp. 

bernadette:           Well variety is the spice of life. Maybe thats why you all get along so well.

                                 they go to bed.

                                 Bernadette dreams.

                                 She's on a space walk with Howard. all of a sudden there's a shooting star, then another, then another. 

                                 The fourth one explodes and out steps sheldon and amy in the same period (19thC) costume

                                  She awakes, startled.

                                  She unintentionally awakens Howard, who sees the startled look on her face.

Howard:                   what is it?

Bernadette:              Dreaming.

                                     they go back to sleep.

   next morning

Bernadette:                 burnt toast or plain?

Howard:                       Burn it.

Bernadette:                  coming up.

                                      Phone rings. Its Penny.

Penny:                         we're getting married.

Bernadette:                 At this time of the morning?

Penny:                          Yeah, why not?

                                       No, Leonard just proposed to me again last night (pause) and I said yes.

Bernadette:                   (now cross, humorously) and you waited a whole day to tell me?!

Penny:                           Its systemic, I can't help myself.

Bernadette:                   Wait till I tell Howard.

Penny:                            gotta go.

Bernadette:                    See ya.

Bernadette:                     (sings conspiratorially)  "we're getting married in the morning."

Howard:                                  looks at her slightly puzzled.

Bernadette:                    Its nothing (pause)  Just Penny and Leonard - getting married!

Howard:                          (shock, pause)…..that sly bastard!

                                         Are you kidding?

Bernadette:                     Penny didn't sound like she was kidding!

Howard:                           (eats his toast with a slight smile on his face, almost as though he was a proud father)

                                           Don't tell Sheldon, he'll have a fit.

Bernadette:                      I'm sure someone will.

Howard:                            Poor sheldon

Bernadette:                      Come on. you saw how his relationship with amy has improved. he'll be fine.

Howard:                            You could just be right. (surprised)

                                            Poor Raj.

Bernadette:                       He'll be good too. Talking to women. It won't beer too long before some infatuated girl falls for his foreign charms.

Howard:                             Yeah, you're right there too!

                                            finishes his breakfast, Bernadette finishes hers also.

Next scene.                      Penny and Leonard in a department store.

Leonard:                           Really? You want me to get married in a cowboy outfit?

Penny:                              Sure!   Why not?    Thats how you proposed to me ……… and I said YES remember?

Leonard:                          You know something? I'm going to do just that … yeah!

                                           and what'll you be wearing?

Penny:                              White

Leonard:                           Really?     Do you think thats appropriate?

Penny:                              What do you mean?

Leonard:                          Nah.  White's good. I'm good with that.

                                           (they leave the department store)

                                          they sit down on the couch.

Amy:                                This is cosy.

Sheldon:                         What on earth do you mean?

Amy:                                You and me together ………alone.

Sheldon:                         Thinks for a moment ………… I guess you're right.

Amy:                                She moves closer. He doesn't appear to notice.

                                         It gets dark gradually. They are still sitting side by side.

End of scene.
