A Short Goodbye
My dearest friends (And yes I include you here Howard) if you are reading this then I am already no longer on this earth. I understand this may be a shock, rest assured that I spent my final days with my family.
I would like to thank you all for your friendship over the years, while I understand that I may have not always been the easiest person with which to co-exist I hope that you were able to learn as much from me as I have from all of you.
I would like to thank Penny, who arguably knows as much about living life than I ever could wish to learn in our short friendship. As a fellow Dreamer, I know you will prosper just keep working like a big ole' five.
Amy, I apologize that our relationship was unable to prosper beyond the confines of the relationship agreement. Please take solace in the fact that I truly did enjoy our time together. You are truly beautiful, and for once I am not talking about your mind.
Howard and Bernadette, if I did not make it to your wedding, I would like to wish you many happy returns. For all the times I put you down you are truly a clever man, look after that smiley little woman of yours, because well, we all know your never going to do any better.
Rajesh, the quiet gentleman of the group. I want to encourage you to be yourself. We may have disagreed, but with that behind us, I would like to emphasize that I expect you to keep our office in its current state, as a Hinduisms belief dictate, I hope that we will meet again.
And finally Leonard, I owe you more than perhaps anyone. You were the Kirk to my Spock, and you know there is know higher honor than to be held in that regard. I hope you understand, but If I were to talk at length about our friendship this document would take too long to read. I bestow to you my vast collection of memorabilia; do with it what you wish. Finally, there is enough money stored in the Green Lantern to cover the rent for exactly two months, I trust this is enough time for you to make the required arrangements.
You are, and will always be, my friends.
Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper
Penny scanned the letter again before staggering back from the laptop screen shocked. She sunk onto the edge of the table, unable to even force her legs to carry herself to the brown leather centerpiece of 4A. Her eyes stung and her hand covered her facial expression as a million and one question whirled around her head.
"What the hell was that?" her voice was small and quiet. Sheldon was fine, he was always fine, how could someone that clean not be! No, this was some sort of sick joke, one that Sheldon would have to explain. Penny got up from her makeshift seat and angrily slammed her neighbor's laptop shut.
And he was going to explain.
A/N So, this is my new project this is going to be a series of short, fics that I can just write as and when. It suites the amount of time I have for writing. They are going to be linked, but you wont necessarily have to read them in order. Its based on the idea of a bucket list, and based in no small part on the TV show An Idiot Abroad, which I recommend. Even with this morbid background. I'm going to try and keep this fic light hearted and funny, at least until the end, which is not going to be any time soon, Its just a good opportunity to put our characters in some unlikely situations,and examine their relationships a bit more.
Anyway, if you were writing a bucket list for Sheldon, what would you have him do? Please let me know in a review.
