"Sheldon?" called Leonard as he came through the hallway leading into the living room. "Sheldon, have you been down here all night?"

At the sight of his sleep deprived roommate, Leonard sighed. On the sofa sat Sheldon, dark circles under his eyes and hunched over his laptop, completely engrossed in what he was reading off the screen. He made a small snort like noise as a 'yes' to Leonard. Leonard rolled his eyes and put the kettle on to boil.

"What are you reading anyway?" he peered over Sheldon's shoulder to get a better look at the screen, "'The Science of Deduction'? I didn't realise you were into that sort of stuff."

"Oh, it is fascinating! "said Sheldon, as he clicked down the page.

"It's a load of crap if you ask me. It's impossible to find out about a person from just 'observing'" Leonard said the last word with a sarcastic air. He turned away and began making himself a cup of tea.

"Once again Leonard your simple opinions make you the perfect for being proved wrong in things you don't understand. It is not merely the fact that this man is able to deduce about a software designer by his tie but it is almost certain that he can challenge me on an intellectual level, unlike nearly everyone on this plant save Stephen Hawking or Spock."
Sheldon finally looked up and gave Leonard a pitting look. He stood up and walked in front of Leonard, "for example, I can deduce that you are making a caffeinated hot beverage because it is early in the morning and you are desperately in need of a caffeine boost, judging by the sleep in the corner of your eyes. I also know it is tea, not coffee, because you put no sugar in you mug which is how you take your tea." Sheldon stated proudly and sauntered back to his laptop to continue reading.

"Not to mention the fact that I have the box of teabags in my hand," Leonard said sarcastically, making his way to his bedroom to get dressed for work.

"Well done. That's why it's called observing Leonard. Even I thought you might get that connection but once again you have proved me wrong by your own intellectual stupidity."

"Get dressed Sheldon!"

Sheldon shook his head and clicked on the homepage of the website. He had already read the 'Blog of Dr J H Watson' and had become very interested by the mysterious Sherlock Holmes, whose name had appeared on several forums he had searched. Sheldon's mouse hovered over the 'contact' link of the website for a split second before he clicked.

"Interesting."

"What is?" asked John as he turned the page of the newspaper.

"Other than the fact you seem to think I didn't hear you when you kindly told Mrs Hudson to ignore my calls for a cup of tea earlier?" Sherlock said without looking up from his laptop screen, his chin resting on his prayer positioned hands.

"God, you heard that. You must have ears like a bat." John looked up from his newspaper slightly, "I was in her kitchen with the door closed."

"Floors, John." Sherlock sighed dramatically, "anyway as I was thinking before you interrupted, it is interesting that someone has messaged me on the website." Sherlock said without moving from his statue like position.

"A new case then?"

"No, but it does have something to do with another one that someone sent me. A rather boring one but I'm prepared to do it now."

John put paper down very slightly,

"Why?"

Sherlock ignored the question completely. He got up and started to walk around the room, collecting a few things as he went round, like his skull and his violin case.

"How much longer have you got off on holiday John?" Sherlock asked as he put his violin in its' case.

"A few weeks, why?" he eyed Sherlock suspiciously, his paper forgotten on his lap.

"We're going on a little trip to California."

"Wait...what?"

I don't own anything.

It has been ages since I've written anything! This story came into my head while I was looking to see if 'The Big Bang Theory' had made any 'Sherlock' references, I mean they watch 'Doctor Who' and that.

Anyway, I don't know whether to continue or not so...

PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
