Hey guys! So, if any of you have read my James Bond fic you'll realise this idea is very similar to that. I'm very keen on these kinds of fics, and I have a feeling it could turn quite hilarious xD enjoy! (And I'm very sorry for any inaccuracies or spelling mistakes/errors) :D


"Oh guys, listen up- I've got something to pass on to you." Leonard announced, looking down at his phone. The gang were gathered in Leonard's and Sheldon's apartment, eating a takeaway as was routine. They all looked up when their friend raised his voice.

"Go on then! Is the world about to end? Have you been nominated for president?" Howard said sarcastically, grinning.

"Oh shut up. No, I've just got an email from the university, listen-

"Good evening.

I hope I am not interrupting your meal by sending this message, but I have an announcement to make.

As you all know there have been many disputes between fellow colleagues here at the university, not naming names (ahem, Dr Cooper I'm looking at you)-"

"Preposterous!" Sheldon exclaimed, "he can't be looking at me at all. And how many arguments do I cause? Seriously?"

"Do you really want me to answer that buddy?" Leonard replied, one eyebrow raised. The others laughed whilst Sheldon gave his roommate his special death stare, and went back to his food.

"Anyway, carrying on-

-and they are causing major problems and stress within the management team. We have had a meeting on this problem, and quite frankly- we're sick to death of hearing petty arguments every 5 minutes. So, without further ado, I would like to announce that from Monday the 11th of August for 2 whole weeks, you are all required to participate in a "Colleagues Bonding Holiday", over the pond to England!

Before you complain, Sheldon, again I'm looking at you-"

Indeed Sheldon had just opened his mouth to voice his opinion.

"That is absolutely ridiculous! The whole university going on a holiday? How on earth are they going to get the money for that?" He said, looking round.

"I'm just relieved me and the girls don't count." Said Penny, grinning at Bernardette, Amy and Emily.

"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that!" Said Leonard mischievously before reading on.

"-this trip is compulsory and you have no choice but to join us. We are providing the money for air rides and £100 spending money each using the grant Dr Ivenkoft would have used in his studies, had he not been a Russian terrorist. We are also paying for a plus 1, for example a wife or fiancée, to join us too.

Finer details will be released later the date, but we know this for certain now- once we get there, we will be booked into the Hollingham Hotel on the outskirts of London where we will all be staying, but after that you are free to roam the city and the surrounding area as you please. There will be one day of organised, grouped activities in a bid to make your communication skills to each other better, but that is all.

Please reply with any questions or queries you may have, and enjoy what is left of your evening.

President Seibert."

Leonard finished with a grin, and looked up to face the others.

Howard looked disgusted whilst Bernardette just looked plain scared. Penny looked confused, Sheldon horrified, Amy excited, and Raj and Emily looked elated!

"Oh my god, we are going to England?!" Raj exclaimed, "oh my god!"

"I know! I've always wanted to go!" Emily said, matching her boyfriend's grin. Amy turned to look at her boyfriend.

"Aren't you a little excited Sheldon? I mean, it's not often you get a free trip to England now is it?!" She said, but the man took no comfort from her question whatsoever.

"It is not "free", that money could have been used in my department! And we still have to pay for stuff when we get there, Seibert only said they're paying for the plane and a little spending money. This is going to throw my schedule off completely, oh goodness. I'd just gotten it back to normal after my last trip aswell! Oh this is a complete and utter disaster." He said, head in his hands.

"Awh cheer up sweetie, it's only for two weeks! It's not like it's permanent or anything! And this could be quite fun, we never went on any vacations when I was at school! A holiday with my friends sounds awesome!" Penny said in an attempt to lighten the mood. It went down like a lead balloon with the experimental physicist.

"Yes, because you went to community college." He said in disgust. "I went on many residentials with my peers and I hated them all."

"Wait a minute, you mean I have to spend a whole 2 weeks with those annoying idiots who I have to suffer 8 hours with a day anyway?" Howard interrupted, wrinkling his nose. "I'm going to get tonsillitis the day we fly, sorry to disappoint you all."

"But Howie, this could be quite good! We only have to see your colleagues at the hotel and that one day, and we'd have 2 weeks to roam London! There are so many places we could go see!" Bernadette said, warming to the idea. "I've always fancied the thought of sitting at the top of the Big Wheel, watching the busy streets..."

"I suppose, and it's not like I can choose not to go is it really." He said with a sigh, putting his arm around his wife.

As the evening faded into night, the group talked excitedly of what the trip may entail. Well, all the group except Sheldon that is, who stared at his phone all evening, silent, thinking over the trip and the problems he'll have with it.

At round 10pm, the friends dispersed and left Leonard and Sheldon alone. Just as Sheldon got up to go brush his teeth, Leonard piped up.

"Sheldon, you okay? You were really quiet at dinner."

"Yeah, just thinking about the problems this trip is going to cause. Especially the sleeping arrangements."

"Why is that going to be a problem?" He said, looking confused.

"I had a look at the layout plans of the hotel on my phone, and there are many more double bed rooms to 2 single beds." He said, looking at Leonard pointedly.

"And?" His friend was becoming exasperated. "How is that a problem?!"

"It means I'm more likely to have to share a bed with Amy!" Sheldon replied as if it was the scariest thing he had ever heard of.

"Oh shut up Sheldon, you've been dating years!"

"But the relationship agreement states-"

"Stuff the agreement." He said a little sharper than he expected. The bespectacled man sighed. "If it means that much to you then email back Seibert ok?"

Sheldon paused for a moment before replying. "Ok, I suppose I could. Goodnight Leonard." He said, before turning around and walking to the bathroom.

"God help me..." Leonard sighed as he rubbed his eyes and shut down his laptop.
