Amy checked her appearance in the mirror once more before leaving. "Its going to be ok" she said to herself, "This change was necessary." She heard a noise outside and she couldn't help but flinch, 'I have to stop doing that.' She thought, 'he can't find me here.' She looked around at her relatively empty new apartment.

She locked her door and left to go to her new job. She couldn't understand why this building's elevator wasn't working, but it was near the hospital. She new this job was a good find. It was relatively easy for her to get as she had a good reputation and multiple hospitals wanted her to work for them.

She pulled into the hospital's parking lot, and couldn't help but be amazed. This hospital was huge, she knew she would get lost. She walked into what she thought was the lobby, but turned out to be the ER. And it was really busy despite being only 9 a.m.

"A paramedic pushed past her with a man on a gurney. She could hear people moaning, doctors shouting and machines beeping. "Do you need help ma'am? Are you hurt?" a blonde woman asked.

"I'm not hurt. I'm a doctor. I just need to find chief Siebert's office." Amy said

"Oh you're a doctor? Thank God. Jump in where you can. We're a little short handed due to the accident." She said before running away to another moaning patient.

"I need a neuro consult!" she heard someone shout

'I guess that's me' she thought going towards the sound of the voice. "What do we have?" she asked pulling on gloves and a trauma gown.

"Deep scalp lac. Unresponsive. To pain. GCS of 4." Replied a nurse.

She took a flashlight from the nurse and shined it in the man's eyes. "Right pupil is sluggish. Did you order a head CT?"

"Its all backed up"

"Well put a rush on it" she ordered, "Why are you staring at me?" she asked, who she suppose was an intern.

"You're Dr. Stevens" he said with wide eyes

"I-I go by Dr. Fowler now. How did you recognize me?"

"How did I recognize you? You're my idol" the intern gushed, "I've been following you're work ever since. I didn't know you worked at this hospital."

Amy breathed a sigh of relief. If this obsessed intern didn't know she was here, he couldn't possibly know. "I don't think this is a conversation for now." She said as they were separated by a gurney passing between them. She quickly turned to find another patient she could help.

It was three hours later when the rush finally stopped and she finally sat down. She saw a figure rushing towards her, "Dr. Fowler, I was beginning to think that you changed the mind."

She looked up to see it was Chief Siebert, "I'm sorry I got caught up in the ER."

"Understandable. Follow me. I would show you around and introduce you to the other department heads."

He showed her all the various floors, and on-call rooms, the café and other "important" things he thought she should know. The last stop was the attending's lounge and laughter could be heard coming from the inside.

"Oh good. The gangs all here." He said pushing open the door, "Let me introduce you guys to Dr Fowler, our new chief of neurosurgery."

"You're a much better improvement from the previous chief," a guy with a thick Indian accent said, "allow me to introduce myself, I'm Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali chief od Obstetrics and Fetal Development. But you could call me Raj" he said kissing her hand, causing Amy to blush

"Ignore him, he doesn't get out much. I'm Howard Wolowitz chief of Pediatrics and this is my wife Bernadette chief of Ortho." He said pulling a small blonde to his side.

"I'm sure you already met one of the Hofstadters in the ER." Dr. Siebert said

"Yea we met briefly. I'm Penny chief of Trauma, and my husband's in surgery now, but he's the chief of General"

"Where is Dr. Cooper? I thought his surgery finished already?"

Penny rolled her eyes, "You know how he is, he has to count everything and test everything." Amy's breath hitched, it couldn't be the same Cooper. The door opened, "Here's our chief of cardio" Dr. Siebert announced, Amy turned. It was him, she would recognize those blue eyes anywhere.

"Sheldon" she whispered. His eyes snapped up, "Amy? Is that really you?" he said rushing to hug her.

"Whoa. Since when does Sheldon hug people?" Howard joked.

"We were best friends in undergrad. It's been like what 15 years." Sheldon said pulling back, "When did you move here?" he asked moving them to the couch

"Late last night. Just needed a fresh start." Amy said

"So where do you live?" Sheldon asked

"Nearby. At 2311 Los Robles."

"You're kidding? I live there too. I was here last night or else I would have seen you. Did your husband move with you?"

"Umm no. He's out of the picture." She said looking down.

"Oh okay. We have so much to catch up on. Come on I'll buy you lunch." He said escorting her out of the lounge.

"What the hell just happened?" Bernadette asked

"I'm not even sure" Raj answered

"I'e known the guy for 7 years he never offered to buy me a water much less lunch" Howard said.

At that time Leonard entered looking lost, "Who's the lady I just passed Sheldon with?"

"Apparently some best friend of his." His wife answered.

"You're kidding that's the Amy. At first I thought he made her up. I couldn't believe there was somebody smarter than Sheldon." Leonard laughed

"Wait you knew about her?" Raj asked

"What do you mean smarter?" Penny asked.

"Leonard nodded, "He started university at 16 with his 187 IQ, thought he was the smartest one there, until he met Amy, or in his words, 'a hotsy totsy from Gelndale' she was only 15 with a 190 IQ. I really didn't think she was real."

Howard groaned, "so now we have two child geniuses." He said making everyone laugh.
