It was hot and there was way too little space for four people in the engine room but Amy was willing to deal with it. Nothing could have dragged her away from Sheldon right now, not after what had just happened.

She suddenly remembered how he once compared himself to light and her to a moth and she couldn't help but grin a little. This explanation fit more than anything right now… only that she wasn't sure who was the light and who was the moth now. Ever since they had entered the engine room, Sheldon hadn't taken a step away from her and even through it was a tiny room, he could have easily separated himself from her… like he probably would have done under normal circumstances. But it wasn't normal anymore, nothing was normal anymore. Not right now. Amy felt like her head was spinning and her world was hanging there upside down, staring at her from afar. Yes, that was the explanation… everything that had happened moments ago had been out of the world. And definitely out of Amy's imagination.

Of course she had planned to get some romance but when it came to Sheldon, romance was just… drinking wine together, maybe a hug if she had been very lucky.

But the fact that being rude to his new friend had made him so angry that in the end he was even willing to kiss her just to shut her up about all this Valentine's Day nonsense was something that Amy still couldn't wrap her thoughts around. But it wasn't a dream. The sweet taste of the wine Sheldon had drunken just seconds before kissing here, still lingered on her lips and as much as she wanted more of it, she was afraid to lick it away and lose it forever.

"Isn't that amazing?" Eric's words tossed her out of her wonderful thoughtful little bubble.

"Uhm" She cleared her throat and nodded. "Yes."

"I really love trains!" Eric was so happy that he probably didn't realize Sheldon was occupied with something completely different. He hit the lanky physicist's shoulder which came so unexpected, that Sheldon stumbled a step aside.

Naturally Amy grabbed his wrist to try to keep him in balance and pulled him back. Their eyes met and Amy felt herself blushing. She quickly let go of his wrist and looked back to the conductor, explaining tons of stuff she had no clue and care about. But even if, she wouldn't have been able to concentrate because she still felt Sheldon's look burning on her skin.

"So, Sheldon and Eric, we're going to arrive soon but I have the address of the hotels you're staying in. For my little banjo show!" The conductor smiled at the guys. "Any further questions?"

"I have tons of questions!" Shots fired. Eric was ready to keep them in this situation forever.

Amy wasn't. "I think I quit and go look for Howard and Bernadette since we'll arrive soon"

"I think I'll join her. But this definitely wasn't my last train ride!" Sheldon smiled and patted the conductor's shoulder. "See you soon, Bill! Bye Eric."

"See ya, Sheldon!"


"So, did you enjoy it?" Sheldon quietly asked while walking down the train corridor next to Amy.

"Yes, it was quite nice. Even if I have no idea what he was talking about."

They smiled at each other, then Sheldon cleared his throat but didn't say anything. Amy was confused. He looked thoughtful but remained quiet. Maybe he just replayed everything that had happened on the train and started to regret one special thing? Amy almost got nauseous by just the thought of it. What if he really regretted it now? Then it probably would never happen again. Sheldon Cooper definitely was ready to try things, but definitely not ready to do them again if he didn't like them.

"Isn't it funny how well you know me?" It suddenly burst out of the lanky physicist.

Amy was sure everyone around had heard the literal rock fall off her chest.

"I mean, it's not a big secret that I love trains but… I really didn't think you'd take me to a trip on a vintage train. That was very thoughtful. And I enjoyed it. Thank you."

She was truly relieved. "I enjoyed it, too. Every minute of it. Almost."

Sheldon pulled his eyebrows down and stared at her quizzically but she looked away from him and straight ahead. Yes, he could chew a bit over that.

Just when Sheldon was taking a breath to ask his girlfriend what part exactly she did not enjoy, they finally found Howard and Bernadette, so Sheldon swallowed his question back down.

"Where have you been? We've been looking for you for half an hour now!" Howard walked towards them first, Bernadette right behind him. "We'll be in Napa Valley soon!"

"We were in the conductor's room!" Sheldon couldn't help but smile like a little happy boy.

"Oh dear" Bernadette sighed and shot a worried look towards Amy. "How was it?"

"It was nice" Amy smiled and immediately let her look sink down again before she could even blush.

Howard and Bernadette kept staring around between Sheldon and Amy who stood there and suddenly both seemed uncomfortable.

"Aaaalright, let's get our suitcases" Howard mumbled when the silence started to become awkward.

Everyone nodded and they went on to grab their suitcases. Howard was the first one to go, then Bernadette. Sheldon and Amy stood there and smiled at each other.

"After you, Doctor Fowler" He put his hand on her back and slightly pushed her. Another touch. Amy didn't know where to with all these emotions anymore.


The Bed And Breakfast was a nice little place and Sheldon liked it the second he had entered the building. Amy had really thought about it all. Once they all had brought their suitcases to their rooms, they met downstairs again for a glass of wine – Sheldon got a glass of grape juice… that didn't burn.

"So… are you guys sure you're alright?" Bernadette asked with a concerned tone in her voice. Her friends had been acting strange ever since they have had this talk Amy had sent them all away for. She just hoped that it hadn't ended up in an even bigger fight because in that case this could become a really weird and uncomfortable weekend.

"Oh, yes!" Sheldon was so happy all of a sudden that everyone looked at him confused – including Amy.

"You… solved your… little problem?" Howard asked a little more specifically than his wife.

"We did" Amy smiled and it was a smile that clearly said 'And now stop with all the asking'.

But Sheldon obviously couldn't give it a rest yet. "I was being rude, Amy wanted romance and yes, she does deserve romance."

The young neurobiologist wanted to close her eyes cause she was sure Sheldon would burst out with the news any second. But it remained silent. The next thing she heard was another deep voice, that friendly asked if they wanted anything else.

"I'll take another glass of this" Howard promptly answered.

"Me, too!"

"Nothing for me, thank you" Amy smiled. "I think I'll go to sleep. It's… been a long day. Good night."

She got up without any further word and walked towards the stairs, followed by the confused looks of her three friends.

"Uhm, enough for me, too" Sheldon also pushed his chair back and stood up. "But you have excellent grape juice here!"

With those last words he hurried to the stairs, too.

"And you think I am weird" Howard laughed and took another sip of his wine while a grumpy look from his wife streaked him.


Amy had had to flee, before anyone had been able to ask even more questions. Not that she wanted to keep this kiss a secret forever, but it just had happened today and there was too much inside of her she had to process on her own. And gasping and squealing friends wouldn't exactly have helped with that. Amy tilted her head up and took a deep breath while continuing walking down the long hallway. She was almost sure she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. First of all the new bed, the unfamiliar smell, the always way too flat hotel pillows… and her thoughts would definitely circle around Sheldon and what had happened today. She hadn't even been able to take her mind off while she had been in company so she only could imagine what it would be like once she'd slide under the white covers.

"Amy?"

She stopped and turned around just to see Sheldon coming along, with big and fast steps. He seemed a little out of breath.

When he had reached her, they both went on until they reached the door to Amy's room. She turned around and faced her boyfriend.

They weren't standing together as close as after they had kissed but Amy could still feel Sheldon's warmth.

"I wanted to thank you again for the nice trip" Sheldon smiled down onto her.

"You're welcome." She smiled back. "It was nice."

Just a second too late she realized that she had chosen the same words as after…well, she wasn't the only one who had noticed that.

"Amy, since… we are still looking for a pet name for you and since…" He cleared his throat and looked down to the ground. "Your lips tasted like brownie… how about you take a note of that under item 28."

She was completely overwhelmed with all of it, every single word he had just said. So she just blankly stared at him until he looked up again and right back at her, all quizzically. "Not good?"

"W-what?" She slightly shook her head. "No, I mean… yes!"

"Alright" He did one of his sassy smiles. "Brownie it is then!"

Amy nodded and took a deep breath. Then she suddenly felt Sheldon grabbing both of her hands. She bit her lips.

"Maybe we should re-do another section of the Relationship Agreement. I know, this may sound like a big step, but if you are willing to…"

"Sheldon? Amy?"

He immediately let go of her hands and they both turned their heads. Bernadette and Howard had come along the corridor.

"We're going to bed now, too, and wanted to make sure you guys are really alright. We do not want a weekend full of fights." Bernadette still looked concerned.

"We're alright, really" Amy gave her a thankful smile and then turned around with one last intense look at Sheldon. "Good night"

"Good night, Amy!" Howard and Bernadette chanted.

"Good night" Sheldon smiled at her until her door was closed.
