Author's notes: Guys, I have no words to express how happy I am with the response I've got from this story! It was so amazing to read all your reviews, thank you all so much!

I hope I won't disappoint you with what I've planned for this story.

Here's chapter 2. I have 2 more chapters planned, but I didn't finish writing them yet. Shamy appears in the end of this one.

I wish I could have updated sooner, but life sometimes gets in the way.

I own nothing.


Chapter 2

"Good morning, Sunshine," Leonard smirked, as he threw the curtains of his bedroom open.

"Oh, God, Leonard, my eyes are hurting! And my head!"

"Come on, wake up, I made you breakfast. And... I brought you a cup of coffee."

Penny murmured a 'thank you' as he handed her a mug with the hot liquid. She tried to sit up in bed, and as she was having a hard time Leonard helped her. He sat by her side and removed a strand of hair from her face as she sipped the drink.

"What do you want to do in our Sheld-off weekend?"

"I don't know... I still have those margaritas in my head. I can't think."

"Well... As we have the apartment all to ourselves, we can do whatever we want."

She nodded, searching for her phone on the bedside table.

"Amy hasn't replied yet. That's weird."

"They're probably still busy... Let them have their alone time..."

"I know that. It's just that she usually replies right away, and it's 11 am and still not even a word from her..."

"Do you want me to send a message to Sheldon to check on them?"

"I think that would be good."

Leonard picked up his phone and typed a short message to Sheldon. "All right, now let's go eat." He dragged Penny by the hand and she followed him with her mug to the kitchen. They sat at the island side by side and Penny started to grab French toasts and put them on her plate. Leonard observed her picking up the food, glad that she was enjoying the meal he prepared.

"Do we have milk?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

He gave her a kiss on the cheek before he stood up. He loved taking care of Penny, even when she was hangover. As he approached the fridge, he noticed something was not right.

"Oh, crap."

"What's wrong?"

"Someone rotated the apartment flag 45°! I'd better fix that before Sheldon comes back."

"Seriously? Who dared to rotate the flag? You guys were doing wild stuff here last night." Penny replied in a mocking tone.

"It was probably Howard. He loves to tease Sheldon."

Leonard aligned the flag back to its original angle and place while Penny rolled her eyes and grabbed another French toast. Leonard collected the milk from the fridge and placed it on the island, sitting by her side and grabbing a toast.

"So, how was girls' night? Did you guys have a lot of fun?"

"I guess... We got drunk, we ate, we sang karaoke. It was cool."

"You mean you got drunk, right? Bernie and Emily were just fine when they carried you up the stairs last night."

"They didn't carry me, I was just a little dizzy."

"A little dizzy? We took you straight to bed and half a minute later you were already snoring."

"Yeah, I was drunk. Anyway, if Amy were there she wouldn't have let me drink that much. Speaking of Shamy, any replies from Sheldon?"

Leonard picked up his phone from his pocket, and there were no new messages.

"Nothing. That's weird. He usually replies right away."

"Yeah, aren't they two peas in a pod?"

"Let me try to call him... Voicemail. Huh, that's weird."

"Yeah, Amy's phone was off as well last night. I guess they must have had a really busy night. And morning."


Bernie watched herself on the mirror as she renacted her performance at the karaoke. 'I should do that more often', she thought, as she remembered her singing the night before. 'Except for the part of carrying Penny four floors upstairs.' She shook her head and restarted to collect the laundry basket. As she went down the stairs, she saw her husband still playing video games sitting in his pajamas. 'Some things never change. At least we got rid of Stuart.'

"Howie, weren't you playing this game last night?"

"Yes, and I'll just stop when I get better at it."

"No, you'll stop right now because you promised you'd clean the garage today."

"But Bernie, it's only 11 am!" He replied in a childish way.

"Exactly, it's already 11 am and you're in your pj's playing video games!"

"Alright. I'll turn it off. Let me just save it."

She took the basket to the garage and grabbed a bucket and a few cleaning items he would need. When she returned, he was already turning the device off.

"Here's your bucket with the stuff you'll need. Now go!"

"Hey, why are you so cranky today?"

"I'm not cranky, I just need the garage clean."

"And I'll clean it as I promised. Is there anything else bothering you?" He said in a caring way, embracing her. She wondered how he could go from a man-child into the prince of her dreams in seconds.

"Well... not really, I guess I'm just tired of the hard time Penny gave us last night because of Amy."

"I just saw you and Emily arrive with her and she was drunk. But what happened?"

"She took too many margaritas and then she wouldn't stop complaining that she missed Amy. I never saw her like that. Not even over Leonard."

"Well, Leonard was not fine either, he was all 'I don't know what to do, Sheldon would know what to do', blah blah blah." Howard said mimicking Leonard's voice.

"Those two are too fixated on Sheldon and Amy. I know we're friends, but don't you think it's a little too much?"

"Yeah, I guess they take care of Sheldon as if he's their child, but I don't get Penny's fixation with Amy."

"Well, I guess they both needed those sessions with Dr. Gallo. I've never seen a couple with so many issues like them!"

"Yeah, I don't get why it is so hard for them to be a normal couple, like us."

"What I don't get is why you're still here and not cleaning the garage. Chop chop, you putz!" Bernie ordered in a bossy tone, but as soon as he left the room she smiled.


"I'm glad you could get two days off in a row from the hospital."

"Yeah, I could spend some time with the girls last night and I've got to wake up next to my sweet boy." Emily kissed him in bed before they both got up.

"I'll make us my special raspberry pancakes. You just sit and watch me work."

After some time, Raj was finishing to prepare breakfast while Emily sat at the table drinking juice.

"Here they are, 'Rajberry' pancakes." He placed a big plate with the food on the table, and he joined her to eat.

"I love it when you make me breakfast."

"You're welcome." He winked at her, serving them both the pancakes. They ate quietly for a while before Raj started speaking.

"So, how was it last night with the girls?"

"It was nice, the place was so cool! The food was delicious and we sang karaoke."

"I'm glad you're getting along with them."

"Me too. Penny is funny, even though she got a little too emotional last night about Amy. Did you know she made a low-key movie called Serial Ape-ist?"

"Yeah, we all watched it. Somehow it became some sort of a cult movie."

"Nice, I'd like to see it later."

"I have the DVD, I'll show you later."

"And she mentioned a video of Bernie in a beauty pageant, have you seen it too?"

"Really? No, not that one. Let's finish eating and I'll look for it."

"And they also told me about a fanfiction Amy wrote about her and Sheldon."

"Ohhh, that's juicy! I should go to girls' night more often, I'm missing all the good stuff!"


"Too bad we won't be able to go to the Michigan Science Center this morning."

"Yeah, who knew it would be sleeting."

"Yeah. But maybe we could revisit last night's activities."

"Oh, I'd like that, Dr. Cooper. I'm glad you decided to join me in the Neurobiology conference even though you hate it."


A/N: So, I made Sheldon go with Amy to the Neurobiology conference. I hope you liked to see the couples talking about the previous night and Shamy.

I'd love to read your thoughts on this chapter.

I'll try to update soon!
