I decided to write a couple of One-shots and short stories. This one is again about Amy and Sheldon featuring the other characters as well. This one might be OOC, it might be not. Tell me what you think of it. Reviews, please?
The superficial change
Part 1:
Penny was always considered to be the glamorous and bright smiling girl next door. Bernadette was referred to as the best choice Howard could have made. But what was Amy's role in the women's trio? She was simply Sheldon's girlfriend. She was the one who by accident faltered in their life. A gag initiated by Raj and Howard. The neurobiologist wasn't happy with that definition. She wanted to play an important part of the gang as well. She wanted to achieve a special position or at least be on an equal footing with her good-looking besties.
It was time to make a change, superficially of course. "Amy, are you sure you want to change your style? I mean that is your personality, your unmistakable appearance" Penny said. They were sitting on the turquoise couch in her apartment. Penny was busy with painting her nails and was barley noticing Amy's rant but this idea made her stop. "I know that it became some kind of trademark. It's just that I don't feel comfortable anymore. I'm always receded into the background when standing next to you and Bernadette. You two score with immaculate skin, neat outfits and exceptional hairstyles. I on the other hand am always wearing these worn out skirts and striped cardigans" she took off her jacket as if she tried to relieve herself from a great burden. "Sometimes the inner feelings are more important than your look" comforted Penny. "Stop telling me this story! What is wrong with an intelligent and at the same time beautiful girl?" Amy insisted. "Why do you want to change? Did Sheldon mention something?" her best friend asked. She could already imagine the answer. "No, not at all! But he might pay me more attention if I looked more ladylike. I don't know, a relationship with him is a real challenge" she sighted and glanced over to Penny. "Are you going to help me?" she begged with her sad eyes. "You know what! Let's head to the mall" although her friend wasn't convinced at all with this plan she decided to support her. Penny closed the little bottle with light blue nail polish and fetched her purse. "Mission: New Amy – Accepted!" They left her apartment.
Leonard was rummaging around in a big box. He stopped for a moment to greet Penny and Amy. "Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked. "She wants to be made" his neighbour laughed and pulled Amy downstairs. Leonard couldn't even react to the news but he felt a little bit insecure if Amy was doing the right thing. After all Sheldon wouldn't care for a change. He was happy with her personality and abilities. Maybe he wouldn't even remark that Amy got a different style. Was it to please him? Or did she just want to keep up with Penny and Bernadette? There was nothing to compensate in his eyes.
"We should plan something for tonight" Amy suggested. She was sitting in a leathern swivel chair in front of a giant mirror. "You mean like a girls sleepover?" Penny wondered while browsing through a haircut booklet. "No, more special. We could invite the boys to get a drink with us" her friend replied. She had already decided what hairstyle would suit her best. "I'm going for wavy hair. Oh, oh and I want a really exaggerated make up, like Cleopatra had it. You know with the black lines going almost back to the ears" she focused on her reflection. Soon this frumpy girl would turn into a splendid and breathtaking young lady. "What a great idea" Penny put up a fake smile. She was happy for Amy who finally broke out but at the same time she felt sorry for her because Sheldon wouldn't ever appreciate this presentation.
"I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and…" Amy was dancing around. The hairdresser did a great job. Her hair looked perfect, each strand of her hair shimmered in the flashy light of the ceiling lamp. "You look like an Egyptian Goddess" Penny brought her the ideal outfit for this unforgettable evening. It consisted of a long black robe combined with a golden jacket. She would definitely be the attraction of the night. Her blonde friend and Bernadette would look old next to her. Amy had a body that won't quit.
"Leonard, it's Halo night" Sheldon yammered. "Stop lolling about and put on your jacket. We got an invitation from the girls" he was very excited. It has been months ago when Penny last suggested him to hang out together. Maybe he would get a second chance; he didn't want it to get spoiled by his lunatic roommate. "Who's coming?" the physicist asked. "As far as I know there will be Penny, of course and Amy, Bernadette, Howard as well as Raj" Leonard replied. "Why do we have to turn our schedule upside down? I need to add a new rule to the relationship agreement: If the obligatory date night already came about there is no reason for another meeting" Sheldon took out a pen from the car storage and wrote down this thought.
"Com'on don't be such a spoilsport. It's fine to have fun from time to time. Besides you like to spend hours and hours chatting with Amy, why can't you overcome your habits and meet her more often?" His buddy pat Sheldon's back.
"It is not the same. My conversations with Amy Farrah Fowler are on high-level. We don't like it to be disturbed by feeble-minded contributions from your part."
"Amy, they're coming" Penny, Bernadette, Howard and Raj welcomed their mates. Bernadette was nervously fidgeting around. She couldn't wait to see the speechless expressions on the men's faces when Amy would enter the dining room.
"May I introduce you to the new and past all recognition Amy" Penny waved her arms direction curtain. From behind it appeared two patent-leather high-heels followed by a stunning, pepped up and gorgeous looking brunette. Her eyes were shining, her lips glossy with a touch of rosé. Howard was standing gaping, not believing that this was the woman he had chosen to become Sheldon's companion. "I say, you look enchanting" Leonard went a step closer to Amy and kissed her hand. "Thank you very much, guys. It means a lot to me" she glanced over to Sheldon, longingly waiting for his reaction.
He couldn't even come up with a weary smile. "That should be better than Halo night? That is the reason why you dragged me into this restaurant when there's an amazing role-playing game waiting for us?" he was indignant. "Oh boy, what a waste of time" he added and turned around. "Sheldon, don't you want to tell her how beautiful she looks?" Howard gnashed while barring his way. Sheldon stared at him. "There's something called self-awareness."
