  "Ew! The smell in here is revolting!" Bernadette shrieked as she walked into Sheldon and Leonard's apartment.

"I agree. It smells like, in a slang use, a horse desecrated in here and then died." Amy agreed scientifically.

"Oh my! Sheldon! Howard! Leonard! Raj?" Bernadette called out their names.

"You didn't call for Penny. PENNY!!" Amy called.

"Huh. Sheldon's spot on the couch! It's... stained." Bernadette reached over to touch it.

Amy leaped over.

"Don't touch it! You don't know what it is!"  Amy exclaimed.

"Well, I'm going to touch it whether you like it or not! So there! Ha! Ha! HA!" 

The girls began to argue, but then everything went black.
