Part Two: The Attempted Amendment of the Anti-Coitus Relationship

Disclaimer: I do not own The Big Bang Theory, because my therapist said so.

Chapter Two: The Cooper/Fowler Argumentative Agreement

Time Passing: By this point, Sheldon is on his way to Amy's apartment. They (Sheldon and a few others) are in the car.

"Sheldon, do you really think this will even work?" Leonard asked, concerned as he turned a corner in the cramped car.

"Of course," said Sheldon matter-of-factly. "It has to. Amy just has to accept my apology."

"Sheldon, this may not work, okay?" Leonard stated. "Please don't get your hopes up for nothing."

"For nothing?" Sheldon protested, turning in his seat to face him. "What do you mean?"

"Sheldon, if it doesn't work, you'll be really disappointed, won't you?" Howard puts in from the backseat.

"Well, of course I will, but why are you people even with us?"

"Because you didn't want to leave us alone in your apartment in case we decided to do something stupid like sit in your seat or touch your food." Penny stated, and Raj nodded energetically from the next seat.

"Oh, right." Sheldon says.

By this time they have reached Amy's apartment, and Sheldon goes up alone, insisting against any support.

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

Instead of the door opening, he hears a muffled squeak and a loud "Go away, Sheldon!"

He doesn't listen; instead, he knocks again.

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

*Knock, knock, knock* "Amy."

A sigh reaches Sheldon's ears, and the door opens to reveal a disheveled Amy.

"What do you want?"

"I came to apologize." He hands her the Formal Apology and smiles his unique Sheldon Smile.

Amy reads the Formal Apology. "Thank you for the apology, but I'm afraid I must decline your invitation to come back to your apartment to have dinner."

Sheldon looked aghast. "What? Why?"

"Because I feel this relationship is moving too slowly as opposed to my observations of other relationships. And if you don't feel ready for this relationship to move, I make a vote for this relationship to be terminated immediately."

"But, I…" Sheldon starts, then he looks at Amy's face and realizes she's serious. "Fine. I…" He looks down and chokes back a sob. "I second the motion."

"Fine. Good day, Sheldon Cooper."

"Good day, Amy Farrah Fowler."

And with that, Sheldon turns and walks down the hallway far enough to be out of earshot, then sits against the wall and sobs.
