As usual I own none of the characters (unfortunately)
This will be based on the season finale, it won't be every scene, word for word exactly but I will put my own spin on it
Amy stared in shock as the door rattled when Sheldon slammed it after storming out at her suggestion of possible future living arrangements, deciding not to follow him and give him time to calm down, she set about tidying up and catching up on some work emails before driving over to Sheldon's apartment
"Hi guys" said Amy when Leonard opened the door
"Amy, what are you doing here? I thought Sheldon had gone to see you? Asked Leonard
"He had but he freaked out and then left, I assumed he was coming back here" replied Amy
"Well we have not heard from him" said Leonard shrugging his shoulders
"Yeah maybe he's gone to the Comic Book Store" suggested Penny
"This was three hours ago though, surely even Sheldon wouldn't spent that long there? Replied Amy coming into the apartment and sitting down in Sheldon's spot
"Well if he is upset he might" replied Penny as she and Leonard went back to their laptops
"What are you two doing? Asked Amy
"Wedding arrangements" replied Penny simply
"Need any help? Asked Amy
"No and could you leave? Replied Penny taking Amy's arm and guiding her to the door
"Right well I know where I am not wanted, tell Sheldon to call me when he comes back" replied Amy backing out of the door
Amy went home after searching Pasadena trying to look for Sheldon, she heard later on from Leonard and Penny that they had found Sheldon at the train station and not tried to stop him leaving, Amy had returned to 4a and beaten the hell out of Leonard with a cushion for not telling her and letting her see Sheldon
Over the next couple of days, trying not to think about Sheldon she busied herself with her work and made plans of her own and it was at the next get together at 4a that she was asked why she had stayed away and not contacted any of them
"It's too hard to come knowing Sheldon isn't here, I need to get on with my life as he is doing" replied Amy
"Well none of us have heard from him, he's adopted radio silence" started Leonard as his phone rang, he had a short conversation before passing the phone to Amy
"Its Sheldon" said Leonard
"Hi Sheldon" said Amy and listening to what he had to say, "Well thanks for letting me know and by the way you should probably check your emails, goodbye" said Amy cutting the call dead and leaving the friends staring at her in surprise
"Amy I thought you wanted to hear from Sheldon? Asked Bernadette
"I did but he won't tell us where he is or what he is doing, so doesn't deserve any of my time" replied Amy
"And what email have you sent him? Asked Penny suspiciously
"Relationship termination notice" replied Amy
"What!? Amy how can you do that to him, he needs you" exclaimed Penny
"Penny he doesn't need me, if he needed me then he would be here with me right now and he has made that very clear by staying away and also made as clear as day that I am part of the problems he is having" replied Amy
"This wont help Sheldon when he eventually comes back you know" added Leonard
"Well luckily I wont be here to witness it" replied Amy
"What does that mean? Asked Penny again
"When I was transferred to Caltech to work with Dr Gunderson, there was tentative plans that I would go and work with him in Sweden for a significant period of time, I applied for a visa and that has been granted, now is the perfect opportunity to go" replied Amy
"You're going to Sweden? Exclaimed Penny again
"That's what I said and on that note I need to go and finish packing"
"Amy you can't just up and leave, this isn't like you" said Bernadette trying to help
"But it's ok for Sheldon to do that, I need to think about me for once, I am setting Sheldon free to sort himself out, Penny you know that for yourself"
"What does that mean?
"You couldn't tell Leonard you loved him, so you let him go and now you are back together, engaged and stronger for it, Sheldon won't even tell me how he feels about me and I am too scared to ask"
"Maybe if you did ask you would find out? Asked Raj
"Doesn't matter anymore, tomorrow I am going to Sweden and I can start a new chapter of my life there" replied Amy
"Tomorrow? Amy how long are you going for? Asked Penny as Leonard's phone started to ring again
"If that is Sheldon then I don't want to talk to him, I have a two year Visa to work and live in Sweden" replied Amy jumping up and running out of the apartment
Penny ran after Amy and caught up with her just as Amy was getting into the car, Penny opened the passenger door and got in with her
"Amy do you really think running away is the best option?
"As I said upstairs, it's ok for Sheldon to do it but not me? You and Leonard were the ones that encouraged him to go for crying out loud, I need to do what is best for me and Sheldon isn't it"
"But what if he is what's right for you? Asked Penny
"Penny recently our relationship has been hard work, Sheldon has been snarky with me and freaks out at anything, I don't think we are right for each other anymore"
"But you two are perfect for each other" said Penny trying to help
"Used to be but perhaps in time we can be friends again but right now, he is doing his own thing and I am going to do mine, Penny I really have to go" said Amy leaning over and opening the passenger door and indicating for Penny to get out
"Amy please think about this, you will regret it" said Penny
"I have thought about it and right now we both need fresh starts, this isn't easy for me Penny, I really love Sheldon but I can't give myself to somebody who doesn't want the same things"
"You know I took him to a Physic?
"Yes Leonard told me"
"That might not have helped either" commented Penny
"Why, what did they say?
"That he should give himself to the relationship and everything will fall into place"
"Oh jees, no wonder he is freaking out, Penny how could you!
"I just thought it would help, Sheldon called it Malarkey and stormed out"
"He seems to be good at storming out lately" replied Amy wearily and on the verge of tears, Leonard came to the car with his phone and his hand covering the ear piece
"Amy you really need to talk to Sheldon, he is devastated and can't understand why you are doing this" said Leonard offering her the phone
"That makes two of us then, you two are not making this any easier for me, please Penny just get out of the car, otherwise I am driving off with you in any case" said Amy trying to gently push Penny out
"Let me come with you and help with the packing, Leonard can pick me up later" suggested Penny
"Sure, call me when you are done" replied Leonard
Amy didn't say a word to Penny on the way back to her apartment and Penny was surprised that the apartment wasn't untidy to due to Amy packing up
"Are you keeping the apartment?
"Yes, my landlord has agreed to sublet it for me as long as I can have it back when I return"
"You are coming back then?
"Yes, the visa is for two years, I haven't decided if I am staying for that long though but I need a fresh start and this is a good a one as any" replied Amy
"Are you going to speak to Sheldon?
"Don't start Penny, I told him everything by email so there is nothing else to say" replied Amy going off to her bedroom and collecting some suitcases
"I think you are going about this the wrong way but then I probably did the same with Leonard a few years back" said Penny coming into the room
"You can say whatever you like but this is my decision and I will not be budged from it" replied Amy
"Will you come back for the wedding?
"Of course, I wouldn't miss that for the world" replied Amy
"Good because I want you and Bernie to be bridesmaids"
"Thank you, just let me know when it is once you have decided" said Amy as she carried on packing her bags
"It will be in about a year maybe more"
"Look forward to it then"
"What time is your flight?
"10am and I am really looking forward to going, it's an exciting opportunity" said Amy finally looking happier then grimacing when her Skype on the laptop showed that Sheldon was ringing her
"You not going to answer that?
"No, there is nothing he can say that will make me change my mind Penny, if you want to be helpful then you can stop badgering me about him" replied Amy
Amy's Skype and mobile continued to ring on and off for the next 15 minutes, eventually Amy turned the laptop and her mobile off, she finished up her packing then went to the lounge where Penny was packing up her books for her
"I am done, you can call Leonard to pick you up now"
"Already done, he should be here shortly, Amy I am going to miss you" replied Penny getting up and attempting to hug Amy
"No hugs or emotional goodbyes please, I don't think my heart could stand it"
"Make sure you let us know when you have landed, oh where are you staying by the way?
"Dr Gunderson has rented an apartment for me"
"What part of Sweden are you going also?
"I don't think I should tell you that because the last thing I need is Sheldon turning up and making a scene"
"Fine" replied Penny as her phone beeped at her
"Thanks for helping me tonight Penny, its appreciated"
"No problems, keep in touch ok? Said Penny as she opened the door
"Yes of course" replied Amy smiling at her and closing the door after her
Amy went to bed early and the next morning took a cab to the airport, she was just about to go through security when she heard a familiar voice calling her, she whipped her head round to find a very dishellelved Sheldon running towards her
