Alex Sheldon and Leonard's apartment.

"I've been thinking about time travel again." Sheldon started.

"Why, did you hit a roadblock with invisibility?" I asked looking up at him. 

"Put it on the back burner. Anyway, it occurs to me, if I ever did perfect a time machine, I'd just go into the past and give it to myself, thus eliminating the need for me to invent it in the first place." Sheldon answered. 

"Interesting." I continued and went to my desk that was next Sheldon's.

"Yeah, it really takes the pressure off." Sheldon said coming to sit next to me. 

"Sounds like a breakthrough, should I call the science magazines and tell them to hold the front cover?" Leo asked walking into the living room. We exited the apartment.

"It's time travel, Leonard, I will have already done that."  Sheldon answered.

"Then I guess congratulations are in order." I stated looking at Sheldon holding his hand.

"No, congratulations will have been in order. You know, I'm not going to enjoy this party." Sheldon said.

" I know, I'm familiar with you." I continued.

"At the last department party, Dr Finkleday cornered me and talked about spelunking for 45 minutes." Sheldon stated I tried not to laugh. 

"Yes, I was there." Leo carried on. 

"You know what's interesting about caves, Leonard, babe ?"

"What?" Me and Leo questioned looking at him.

"Nothing." Sheldon answered.

"Well then we'll avoid Finkleday, we'll meet the new department head, congratulate him, shake his hand and go." Leo said stating his plan.

"How's this? Pleased to meet you, Dr Gablehouser. How fortunate for you that the University has chosen to hire you, despite the fact that you've done no original research in 25 years, and instead have written a series of popular books that reduce the great concepts of science to a series of anecdotes, each one dumbed down to accommodate the duration of an average bowel movement. Mahalo." I answered looking at Leo. 

"Mahalo's a nice touch." Sheldon said smiling at me. 

"Do you know there are only eight consonants in the Hawaiian language." I said. 

"Interesting, you should lead with that." Leo answered I just laughed. The department party. Alex, Sheldon, Raj and Leonard are at the buffet table.

"Oh, God, Look at this buffet. I love America." Raj said looking at the buffet table.

"You don't have buffets in India?" I questioned looking at Raj.

"Of course, but it's all Indian food. You can't find a bagel in Mumbai to save your life. Schmear me." Raj answered I just nodded and saw Howard. 

"Well here's an interesting turn of events." Sheldon said. 

"What. (Sees Howard with a statuesque blonde) Howard brought a date?" I questioned. 

"A more plausible explanation is that his work in robotics has made an amazing leap forward." Sheldon answered.

"Hey, what up, science bitches? May I introduce my special lady friend, Summer." Howard said and puts arm around her.

"I already told you, touching's extra." Howards date said I just laughed a little.
