Sheldon had chosen a spot in the Organ Mountains, just outside the national park area.

It was very pretty, you could see all of Las Cruses from the makeshift campsite. They had been to Wal mart earlier in the day and bought enough provisions to last a few days, although they only intended to stay for one night, Sheldon liked to be safe rather than sorry.

As Rory unloaded the VW campervan Sheldon was building a campfire, it was getting quite late and the sun was starting to loved watching Sheldon do manly activities, she started day dreaming about him washing the van with no top on.

She was soon snapped out of it as she noticed Sheldon shouting something about an anaconda, it turned out to be a worm. The hyena turned out to be a rabbit and Sheldon didn't care what Rory thought, the eagle was giving him a dirty look.

Rory gave Sheldon a kiss, trying to calm him down, it seemed to work for a while.

Rory laid down some blankets around the fire, she got the marshmallows out of the Wal mart bag and Sheldon looked for the sterile kebab sticks he insisted on using to put them on.

Sheldon and Rory sat there by the fire, watching the sunset, toasting marshmallows and singing a song containing every element on the periodic table that they had heard many times before sung by comedian Tom Lehrer.

"I'm glad we came here, it's peaceful, I can focus on how string theory proves more groundbreaking evidence in uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity than loop quantum gravity does." Sheldon stated, staring at the stars, Orion belt was really visible tonight.

"I was going to say that the stars are pretty and I'm high on sugar but your theory is a good enough reason to like it here honey" replied Rory, taking hold of Sheldons hand.

The temperature was starting to go down, Rory shivered, she only had a Batman tank top on with some 3/4 length jeans, she wasn't really dressed appropriately for the weather, Sheldon looked at her, he was reminded of the wind up chattering teeth they played with as children, trying to analyze what the point of them was, he could see now that they were for entertainment purposes, they made him smile.

He took off his beige jacket and draped them around her so they both had two layers on, he reached behind them, getting a blanket out of the van. they snuggled under the blanket and watched the satellites going by, there were a couple of shooting stars, Rory tried to encourage Sheldon to make a wish, he just said it was nonsense and superstitious hokum.
