Author's Notes: How can I ever not write a tag to what will be the most epic TBBT season finale ... ever? Fair warning, this will contain spoilers for as to now (April 2015) unaired episodes, including the season 8 finale. If you read this, you'll be spoiled. Hard. Ok? Cool!
I will sum the finale up like this: Holy crap on a cracker!
Notice that the words may not be the exact ones as are going to be used in the actual episode. But you'll get the picture.
This is "The Transgression Acclimatization" which takes place after the epic season finale which is called "The Commitment Determination". Enjoy and please review if you find the time.

The Transgression Acclimatization
Closing the lid of his laptop slowly, Sheldon waited for the characteristic little clicking noise of the closing device to mark the end of his action and then sighed in discomfort and despair. What had he done now? He didn't understand the recent turn of events, despite Penny's attempts to enlighten him over and over again. It was Penny after all, right? What did Penny know?
Stunned and anxious as to what he had just heard from his girlfriend, he folded his hands in his lap and pondered about the implications this entire conversation may have on his own life and decisions. Still unable to fully process what had set her off this time, he sighed audibly. With the heels of his feet he pushed his office chair back slightly, exhaled once again and in the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a little grey figurine standing on his what else to do next, he lifted his hand and tentatively brushed his index finger across the limited edition figurine of Gollum, in his mind the most tragic character in the Lord of the Rings saga. The figurine remained cool and unmoving under is touch, a strong contrast to Amy's delicate and warm flesh, her blushing cheeks and the strands of her hair that he loved to carefully place behind her hears when they loosened on their own free will. Oh Amy ...
Stroking the figurine one more time, he said: "Well, Gollum, you are the master of rings. What do I do with this?"
The word 'now' hanging in the air like a nearing thunderstorm, his soul suddenly overcast by dark storm clouds. He pulled out a small, black, velvety jewelry box and twisted it in his right hand. He then reached for the clasp to open the small container to reveal a sparkly, delicate ring. So classy, so dapper, so Amy. If only he had gotten the chance ...
No. Not over the phone. 'That would not have been the best choice, Sheldon', he scolded himself internally and gritted his teeth. No, not smart at all. If only he still new what smart meant when it came to his girlfriend. He was starting to lose his juju.
She hadn't known. Of course she couldn't have known. In a way this made the entire situation even more unbearable. She needed to know how sure he was, how ready to commit, how much he owed her his life. She had to know how much he desired her, right? How could she not notice the recent progress he had been willing to allow, them sleeping in the same room (naturally, the inflatable mattress wasn't the most romantic choice in the world but considering that girls weren't actually allowed in his room, he had considered the offer to be quite ... an offer?), them touching each other quite ... delicately .. surely she knew he wanted her, right?
Or she didn't. Which is why he had just had an unpleasant and sad conversation with his girlfriend who had declared a little distance from him was what she desired to re-evaluate her choices. Re-evaluate him also? No, that couldn't be. She had said she loved him.
'But I love her, too', Sheldon thought, 'why can't she see that?"
"Whatever you're thinking about, you're doing it pretty loudly!" Sheldon heard the voice of his roommate, and turned around, shell-shocked, the small box with the engagement ring still in his hand, open.
He struggled to find his voice and then said: "Should you not be in Vegas?"
