Sheldon Swifties XII: "Make Someone Happy…"
Summary: Brief bits, not necessarily connected…Possibly related to the idea that sooner or later I plan to pit Sheldon against junior adult fiction's greatest inventor…
Disclaimer: What's Chuck's is Chuck's…No infringement intended…
Two weeks from now…
At a restaurant dinner she's had to insist on a furious Amy demanding some affection from the man of her fantasies has gotten…
"But Amy…I need you…"
"Really…?" blinking stare…
"Yes…You're my ride home…"
Incredulous stare…Shake of head…
"Fine…Goodbye, Sheldon…" determined turn…
"Amy…"
"Not even another tiara could do it this time, Sheldon…If you had one…"
Pause… "…Say, a big one, with rubies…"
"Amy…A bit on the flashy side, wouldn't you say?..."
"Sheldon…" tearing… "I've tried to make allowances that our mutual genius precludes the need for the usual ridiculous romantic overtures…I've tried everything I know neuropsychologically to make you realize how much I care for you and could make you happy…Obviously, you are determined to…" she stared…
"Why are you people here?..." she eyed the group…Leonard, Penny, Raj, Bernadette…
"I'm here too…In spirit…" Howard's voice from Bernie's cell phone… "Heya, kiddo…"
"Bestie?...What is this?..." Amy eyed Penny…
"The Tin Man has something he wanted to say…With witnesses…" Penny beamed…
"Actually…" Sheldon had risen and come forward… "I'll let an expert say it for me, if you'll allow me…No, not you, Leonard…" he frowned as Leonard beamed, stepping…
Hmmpf…
"Lord knows I'm the most 'expert' romantic guy around here…" Leonard noted to Penny, rather miffed…
"Sheldon?...What…"
"Amy…" he knelt… "I don't have a tiara…Ruby or otherwise…Though if you really must go for the gaudy bauble…However I do have this…" he pulled out a box…
"Oh my God…" Penny, Amy, Raj…Leonard rolling eyes at Raj…
"It's from the first computer I ever built…That's a rhinestone my sister made me put on it when she wanted to pretend we were married…I didn't understand it either but she's bigger than me…Anyway…If I may let a friend speak for me…"
"Not you…" Penny hissed to the eager Leonard…
Geesh…Leonard sighed…
Sheldon, I phone in hand, still kneeling…"Mr. Durante?...If you please…"
Jimmy Durante, "Make Someone Happy…"
"It's so important to make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart to heart you, you sing to
One smile that cheers you.
One face that lights when it nears you.
One girl you're – you're everything to
Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life, to cling to?
Love is the answer.
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy.
And you will be happy too."
"Amy Farrah Fowler?...Will you let me make you happy…For as long as I can?..."
"Oh…" Amy stared…
"He'll really thought of all this himself?..." Bernadette hissed to Penny…
"I did suggest taking her out to dinner sometime would be nice…" Leonard noted…
