- What do you want Sheldon? - Amy asks after answering the video call of her ex-boyfriend.
-I have excellent news-Sheldon seemed very excited- You are the chosen one to be my new roommate.
-What are you talking about?
-Leonard decided that now that he is married he will go to live with Penny and he will no longer be my roommate and Bernadette advised me that it was the perfect opportunity to look for a new partner, so ...
-You thought of me- Amy.
-That's right - he look at the little board that he had in his hands where it apparently had some annotations- You're healthy. You have a job in the world of science. I have to say, if this credit report goes well, you're the perfect candidate. -He looked up and saw that Amy was frowning.
-I'm not going to be your roommate, Sheldon,- his ex, sigh disappointed.
-But I've met 11 people and they all left.
-I'm sure you'll find someone else.
-I suppose-Sheldon still seemed disappointed when he looked at Amy again- But if I can not find someone, promise me that you will agree to live with me.
-Sheldon ...
-Please.
- It's okay, Sheldon. If you don't find a new roommmate I will move with you.
-Thanks, Amy. You're the best -Sheldon smiled at his ex who just sighed.
A few minutes later Amy cut the video call. Why on earth had she accepted that she would live with Sheldon if he didn't find a roommate? It was a crazy idea.
-Where are you going?- Penny asked, leaving the room with the phone in one hand while she saw that her husband was putting on his jacket.
- As you will have girls' night with Amy and Bernadette here in the apartment, it occurred to me to go to dinner with Sheldon so he doesn't feel that he is alone.
-It's an excellent idea, honey- Penny kissed Leonard's cheek before he left the apartment. Then he cross to the other side of the hall and knock on the door.
-Are you ready? he ask when Sheldon open the door.
-Yes- Sheldon grabbed his jacket that was on the furniture and then left the apartment- Where will we go?
-Wherever you want. You can choose.
-Great- Sheldon said with a smile.-And then we can go to the movies?"
-Sure.
-You're late,- Penny told Amy when she opened the door.
-I know, I did not want to ...
-You did not want to see Sheldon, did you?" Amy shook her head while Bernadette poured her a glass of wine.
-Well, don't worry. He is not there and will come back late-Penny informed her.
-How do you know?
-Leonard invited him to dinner and a few minutes ago he sent me a message that later they would go to the cinema.
-That's nice on Leonard's part -said Amy.
-And there is something you should know ...
-That Leonard and you are already living together?-She looked at Penny and then looked at Bernadette.-And that you suggested him look for a new roommate?"
-How did you find out? -Asked Bernadette.
-Sheldon told me- she sipped the wine- Before asking me to move in with him -Penny who was also drinking almost spits the wine.
-What?!
-Did he really do that?- Amy nodded.
-He said that he had already interviewed 11 people and they all left and that I was the perfect candidate to live with him.
-Obviously you said no-Bernadette said.
-Well…
-Did you say yes?- Penny sat on the edge of the chair to look more closely at her friend who had apparently gone crazy.
-I told him I wouldn't live with him and he was insisting ... by the end I told him that if he didn't find anyone better...I would accept to live with him.
-And will you?
-Of course not. It would be crazy ... right?-Amy asked, she didn't know what to do.
-Of course- Penny confirmed.
-Exact. It's not normal to live with your ex-boyfriend-Bernadette left her glass on the table- Although if what you're looking for is having company, Stuart would be happy to ...
-No thanks. I don't have intention to live with anyone.
-Well, at least try it-commented Bernadette crossing her arms.
-And ... how's the search for a new roommate?- Leonard asked, glancing at Sheldon who was playing on the phone.
-Bad. Today 11 people came to see the apartment and none was adequate.
-It must have been someone who ...
- One of them had a bandit in the arm, Leonard - Sheldon kept his phone in his pocket - I wasn't going to risk living with some kind of criminal.
- Then you will continue looking?
-I think so, although I found the perfect person. But she does not want to live with me.
-She?- Leonard took advantage of the fact that they were at a traffic light and looked at his friend. -Do you want to live with a woman?"
-After considering it a lot I realized that she is perfect to be my new roommate.
-Who is she? Where did you meet the perfect woman?" Leonard asked curiously.
-In a cafeteria 5 years ago.
-You asked Amy to live with you?- Leonard looked at his best friend incredulously.
-Hey! Keep your eyes on the road-Sheldon scold him.
-Yes, I'm sorry. It's just that ... Why did you do that?
-Do what?
-Ask Amy to live with you.
-Don't you really pay attention to what I'm saying?-Sheldon rolled his eyes in annoyance.-I already told you that Amy is the perfect person..."
-Yes, I know- he added- We all know it. And finally you know it, but I think you noticed that a little late.
-What do you mean?
-Amy broke up her relationship with you and now you want to live with her?
-What's wrong with that?
-For a long time, Amy expressed interest in living with you and made fun of that.
-I didn't make fun of...
-And the last time she suggested it, you traveled by train across the country for almost two months.
-Yes, well ... At that moment, if I had accepted to live with Amy, eventually she would want us to have sex, then she would want a wedding and even children.
-And do you really think that would be a bad thing? It is the normal course of relationships.
-Yes, but our relationship was not like the others.
-At first. But before you broke up you seemed almost normal and besides ... I saw the ring.
-What ring?
-The engagement ring on your desk.
-Why on earth were you checking my stuff?
.I was just going to grab a marker when I saw it. I didn't touch it or anything, but it was quite obvious that it was the box of an engagement ring.
-It's okay. I'll tell you the truth, but you can't tell anyone. Not even Penny, -Sheldon warned seriously.
-I promise.
-Lately ... I was thinking about asking Amy to marry me.
-Are you ... are you serious?- Leonard asked something surprised.
-Yes, but she broke up with me and ... -Sheldon shrugged.
-With more reasons ... Don't you think it's crazy to live with the woman you were going to ask to get married?
-Not really.-Leonard rolled his eyes in exasperation. -And now don't ask me any more questions and drive faster because I'm starving.
-Don't you think you're drinking a lot?" Bernadette asked Amy, who was in the kitchen looking for more alcohol.
-Leave the poor girl,-Penny said. -She had a difficult day.
-Yes I know. But it is not yet a weekend and we must go to work tomorrow.
-You're right.- Amy put the bottle back in the refrigerator. -I think I better go.
-Don't go! Stay for a while.
-Yes. It is still early…
-I really have to go- Amy put the bag over her shoulder and opened the door.
-I had more fun than I thought watching the movie,-Leonard said as he drove home.
-Yes, it was funny. But it bothers me that a human and a vampire have had a baby. That is not possible-complained Sheldon.
-Buddy, relax. It's just an animated movie and anything can be possible.
-Yes, but ...- Sheldon was silent and Leonard looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
-What happen?
-Don't you smell something?
-I don't smell anything.
-It smells like smoke ... like something is burning- Sheldon started looking out the window. "Here's Amy's apartment.
- Relax, surely nothing has happened.
-Just ... we're going through her building to be sure.
-Okay- Leonard accelerated the car to move faster, but when he reached a corner he saw the cars start to stop-I don't think we can go through here.
-I told you something was happening- Sheldon pointed out where there was a red light in the sky- A building is burning.
-Oh God! Leonard turned to both sides and could see a place where he could park.
-Hurry up! - his friend shouted.
-Sheldon relax. Amy is fine. She is in the apartment with Penny and Bernadette.
-Are you sure?
- Yes and we don't even know what's really going on.
-What if she's already back in her apartment?" He said after looking at his watch.-It's late.
-You know that the girls' night ends almost at midnight- he unbuckled his belt to get out of the car and had to run to catch up with Sheldon who was already walking to where the fire was.
- Stop there, you can not get through - they heard shouts from a policeman who was behind a cordoned off area.
-It can not be.- Sheldon opened his eyes to see that his fears were true. Amy's building was burning.
-Oh ... my ... God- Leonard took out his inhaler. Running into the building left him with no air and the excess smoke was not helping him.
-Amy...I have to find out if she it's okay.
"Try... try to call her,- Leonard said with a bit of difficulty.
-Yes, that's what I'm going to do- Sheldon quickly pulled out his phone and called Amy.-She doesn't respond- He said that after the call entered the mailbox for the third time, increasingly scared.
- Everything will be ... - At that moment an explosion was heard inside the building and Leonard saw how Sheldon paled even more.
