Sheldon was extremely relieved when his family went back home. They had managed to stir up more trouble in a week, than he ever imagined they could. Once they were gone he was free to focus on his work again. The only good that had come out of their visit was that he and Leonard were now officially best friends. Sheldon thought Leonard would be upset with him for beating up his brother. On the contrary it was something Leonard had always wished he could do. A.J. had been belittling him since childhood. It was a dream come true to see him getting his just desserts.
In their new found friendship Leonard had started inviting him out more. Even Raj and Howard had started getting used to him. In spite of his quirks and peculiar way of speaking. He was useful sometimes. If they ever needed help in a subject he was the one to ask. They also found he could be tricked into doing assignments for them. Once their questions got too irritating. Sheldon would just grab their papers and do it for them. So they formed a trio together.
On Wednesday nights they could be found at the comic book shop. They had found one they liked off Colorado avenue and it was close enough to campus they could walk there. The manager was a guy named Stuart. He was about their age maybe a couple years older, but he was always happy to see them. The owner was never around so he got bored a lot. So bored that he was always coming up with new ideas to help the shops business.
"If I were the owner of this place. I would hold a costume party for Halloween. I think it would be a great way to get some new business," Stuart tells the guys one night as they look through bins of comics.
"You should suggest it," Leonard tells him.
"Yeah it doesn't hurt to just ask," Howard agrees.
"I would come. Oooh I could help plan it!" Raj says happily.
"Would this costume party… have a costume contest?" Sheldon asks seriously.
"I don't know? It's just something to think about right now," Stuart tells him.
"I would only go if their was a contest. Otherwise what's the point of having a costume party?" Sheldon replies haughtily.
"Fine at the hypothetical party there is a hypothetical costume contest," Stuart tells him and Sheldon grins.
"Excellent," He says sinisterly to himself before walking away.
"Is he always that weird?" Stuart asks the guys.
"Yes, but he's a nice guy once you get to know him," Leonard tells him shrugging.

A week goes by before the guys come back to the shop again. When they walk in Stuart is excited to share his big news with them.
"Just the guys I wanted to see!" He calls to them from behind the counter.
"What's up Stuart?" Howard asks headed towards the display of new arrivals.
"Thanks to you guys I got the courage to ask my boss about the costume party," He says looking around at them.
"And?" Raj asks eagerly.
"And he loved it! He even said we can give away a hundred dollar gift certificate to the winner of the costume contest. Also I don't want to name names, but I am friends with one of the actors from Star Trek the Next Generation. Nothing's set in stone yet but he may be making an appearance," Stuart says mysteriously as he walks away.
"Wow! A whole hundred dollars? It's like a dream come true!" Sheldon says excitedly. "I hope you guys are prepared to lose," He says looking around at his friends. "And someone from Star Trek? I hope it is Data! No Captain Picard! No Data!"
"So have you thought about a theme?" Raj asks ignoring Sheldon.
"No, I thought I would just hang some orange and black streamers and call it a day," Stuart says offhandedly and Raj shakes his head disgusted.
"What American party doesn't have a theme?" Raj asks in disbelief.
"Raj, it's not a prom. Not all parties have themes," Howard tells him.
"So! I never got to go to prom. We don't have them in India. I deserve my themed party!" He whines.
"Prom," Sheldon pffts. "Been there, done that, got the crown," He says rolling his eyes.
"You were prom king?" Leonard asks shocked.
"And Amy my queen," Sheldon says smugly.
"How in the hell did that happen?" Howard asks stunned.
"We were elected, which I don't have to point out to you is ridiculous. Who ever heard of a king being elected?" He says shaking his head as he walks away.
"We have led very different lives, he and I," Raj says jealously as he watches Sheldon walk away.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
The next night on Sheldon and Amy's date night at his dorm he can't wait to tell Amy about the party. After their visit to the Star Trek convention he thinks she will be thrilled about the contest. Sheldon is disappointed when his proposal is met with disapproval by Amy.
"I don't know Sheldon," Amy says as he excitedly describes the costumes he wants to Amy. "I have a lot of work to do as it is. Making costumes takes a lot of time and effort," She sighs heavily.
"Amy it's a costume contest! First prize is a hundred dollar gift certificate to the comic book shop," Sheldon pleads.
"A prize that will be most useful to me," Amy says rolling her eyes.
"I was thinking I would be the one using the prize," Sheldon says and Amy looks at him angrily.
"Exactly! I would be doing all the work. I would be using up all my free time sewing these costumes. Yet I would get nothing out of it," She tells him crossing her arms.
"Please Amy? It would mean so much to me," He begs and she softens. He doesn't ask her for things very often. Besides he looked so cute when he begged. "Would it change your mind if I told you a celebrity might be there?"
"Fine! I'll consider it," She relents and he looks relieved. "Tell me about the costumes again."
"Okay, so you know Batman?" He asks.
"Vaguely… He wears all black and a cape right?" She says searching her mind.
"Yes!… And you know Joker?" He leads.
"Maybe..." She sighs sometimes she was not paying attention when he made her watch movies.
"So in the comics Joker has a partner in crime and her name is Harley Quinn," He explains.
"Like a Harlequin… cute. Did you know the term Harlequin comes from Harlequinade?" Amy asks arching her eyebrow. He looks at her smugly, loving that she can toss back knowledge at him. Happy that he can toss it back at her.
"Did you know the Harlequin was routinely paired with the character Clown? The Clown the mischievous foil for the more sophisticated Harlequin," He tosses back and she smiles at him like the cat who ate the canary.
"Didn't you once tell me you are deathly afraid of clowns?" She teases.
"I did, as you know I am not to fond of clowns. However I will suspend my hatred of them for this character," He smiles.
"How brave of you," She comments dryly ."So you basically want us to be two clowns? My Aunt and Uncle used to dress as clowns for children's birthday parties. They might still have their…" But Sheldon stops her exasperated.
"Not just any clowns! Harley Quinn and The Joker! Here let me show you," He says pulling out a box of comics from under his bed and sifting through them. He pulls out a comic and holds it out to her. "That is Harley Quinn and Joker. We could also start watching Batman Beyond if you needed more inspiration," Amy goes to sit on his bed beside him.
"Okay… I guess," Amy says skeptically as she thumbs through the comic. "We could also be Blossom and Joey though. Did you ever watch Blossom?" She jokes knowing he won't go for it.
"Amy I want to be these characters," He tells her with a tone of finality. "Besides, I think you would look sexy in this costume," He tells her looking over her shoulder at the book.
"You do huh?" She asks looking up at him and he kisses her mouth gently.
"Very much so," He murmurs against her lips.
"I guess I could try and whip something up for us," She says as he moves his lips against her neck. Sending shivers down her spine. Sheldon knows he can get almost anything he wants when he teases her like this.
"I know you won't disappoint," He whispers in her ear as he pushes her gently down onto the bed.. Demonstrating how appreciative he is that Amy has agreed to make their costumes with his actions.
"I know you never do," Amy teases him as his hands move over her body.

When Amy gets back to her room later that night she feels like she is floating on air. Upon seeing her wide smile Bernadette barks at her.
"Oh shut up!" She shrieks.
"I didn't say anything," Amy says confused.
"You didn't have to say anything. Little Miss I just had sex and I'm happily married. You sicken me!" Bernadette says flopping on her bed.
"Uh oh, what happened?" Amy asks sitting beside her.
"Turns out having two boys fighting over you isn't as fun as it sounds," She says raising up on her elbow.
"I thought you were with just Howard now?" Amy asks confused.
"I had sex with him and it was a huge mistake. We still haven't told Raj. And his mom walked in on us now she hates me and my dad is still angry!" Bernadette says miserably.
"To be fair, I think his mother hates everyone," Amy says patting Bernadette.
"Everyone and especially me. I like Howard but we just aren't going to work out," Bernadette sighs.
"I'm sure Raj would love to date you exclusively," Amy reminds her.
"Then ruin Howard and Raj's friendship? I like hanging out with the both of them. I got so jealous when George was hitting on you I've ruined it all!" She groans.
"Why would you get jealous of that?" Amy asks and Bernadette just shrugs.
"I am a very vengeful person. It was part of my pageant training too," She says murmuring the last part.
"Well changing the subject are you going to this costume party and a comic book shop the boys are going to?" Amy asks hoping Bernadette will be there too.
"They asked me but I can't go," Bernadette tells her.
"Aww why not?" Amy asks disappointed.
"Number one, it's on a saturday and I have to work, number two it's on Halloween and Penny already asked me to go with her to another party, number three it's a costume party at a comic book store. Not my idea of a fun Halloween night," Bernadette tells her and Amy nods her head in agreement.
"I know, I agree with you completely. I was just hoping you were going," She says.
"I suppose you are going with Mr. Wonderful?" Bernadette asks and Amy sighs.
"Yep, and I got roped into making us a couples costume during my limited spare time," Amy tells her.
"How did he get you to agree to that?" Bernadette asks her and Amy just smiles widely at her and wiggles her eyebrows. "Oh Amy!" Bernadette giggles shaking her head.
"What can I say? He excels at everything!" Amy says grinning broadly.
"You're as bad as a man!" Bernadette scolds. "So what costumes are you making?" Amy hands her the comic book she had tucked into her bag.
"It was so important he let me take this silly thing with me. Usually they are under lock and key," Amy tells her.
"Oooh aren't you the lucky girl?" Bernadette teases. "So you guys are the two clowns?" She asks pointing at the comic pair.
"Yup! Harley Quinn and the Joker, that is what he asked for. I have no idea how I am going to make them," Amy says worriedly.
"I am sure you will rock it out," Bernadette tells her handing her back the magazine.
"I always do," Amy agrees winking.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
When the day of the contest came they went to Amy's aunt's house where she had been sewing the costumes. It would be easier to get ready at her house and they could take her car to the shop. Amy took everything she did very seriously. She was also very competitive, if she was going to enter a contest. Amy was going to win a contest. So when Sheldon balked at temporarily dying his hair green. She had some words for him.
"Sheldon! This is your baby. You're the one who wanted to enter this contest and now you're not committed to winning?" Amy asks her arms crossed.
"I'm very committed to winning. I am not committed to having green hair. My mother would have a heart attack if I dyed my hair green," He says picking up the dye and looking at it with disgust. He is uncomfortable enough standing in a strange bathroom with Amy.
"It's just temporary. You're hair will be brown again in time for school. Now if you want to win this thing you're going to have to commit. You want to get that gift certificate and show you're friends up right?" Amy baits.
"Fine dye my hair a hideous shade," He relents.
"Excellent now sit down and take your shirt off," She tells him pulling on a pair of rubber gloves.
"Why do I have to take my shirt off?" He asks worried.
"Do you want green dye staining your shirt?" She asks and he pulls of his shirts. Amy carefully applies the dye to his hair then sets an egg timer. "Alright when this goes off wash your hair. Then come meet me in the bedroom. Don't get dressed again you'll just have to change to get into your costume," Amy says turning on her heel and walking out of the bathroom.
Sheldon washes his hair and wraps a towel around his waist and then drops one across his neck. He pads down the hall to the guest bedroom that is standing open. He feels weird walking around mostly nude. However Amy's aunt is not home so he won't be discovered.
"Did you look in the mirror?" Amy asks when he walks in the room.
"No," He admits, the mirror had been fogged. He has no idea how his hair turned out. "Should I go look?" He asks worried moving to look in the long mirror in the room.
"Don't!" Amy says moving him away. "It will make it much more exciting when I do the final reveal," She says pulling him over to a chair and making him sit down. Amy starts by running a pomade through his hair and combing it through. She styles it so that it is slicked back on the sides and stands up in the front. It looks so different from his normal neatly groomed style. That Amy is already seeing a transformation and she just got started.
"What now?" He asks wearily looking up at her grinning face.
"Your makeup, silly," She tells him pulling out a box of cosmetics.
"You are enjoying this aren't you?" He says shaking his head as she pulls out her palette of colors and starts to work.
"Keep your eyes closed," Amy says as she dabs on white makeup onto Sheldon's face. Blending it smoothly with a sponge.
"When can I open them?" He asks not liking the sensation of being blind.
"Keep your mouth shut too," She chides blending the makeup around his chin and mouth. Once his face is painted white she takes a tube of red lipstick and colors in his mouth drawing it out wide. Making a ghastly smile. "You already have a big mouth so you make the perfect canvas," He opens his eyes to glare at her. She smiles slyly. "Uh uh uh. Keep em' shut!" She tsks as she takes out black eyeliner and lines his top lash. "Now open your eyes," She says as she makes a thick line under each eye. Then she steps back to admire her work pulling the towel off his neck as she goes.
"How do I look?" He asks looking up at her.
"Amazing!" Amy says happily.
They are going to win she is sure of it. Sheldon looks better than amazing and he doesn't even have his costume on yet. There was something incredibly sexy about making him up. As she steps back to admire him, it's hard for her not to jump in his lap and kiss away all her work.
The dye didn't get his hair the lime green color she wanted. Instead it is a mossy green that looks surprisingly good on him. The eyeliner makes his blue eyes even bluer and they stand out like oceans on his white face. Amy admires his bare torso so much she almost thinks it's a shame he has to put clothes on. Though she wouldn't want other girls catching a glimpse. Seeing his muscular shoulders and smooth chest and trying to take him for themselves.
"Should I get dressed now?" He asks and Amy snaps out of it.
"Yes of course," She says walking over to the bed. "Now this is the shirt, then there is the vest and…"
"Amy, I understand how a three piece suit works," He says condescendingly.
"Fine, I'll let you get dressed in here and I will go get dressed in my Aunt's room. Don't look in the mirror until I get back," Amy admonishes. "Promise me!" Sheldon just rolls his eyes and holds his hands up in surrender. Amy packs up her makeup box and leaves the room. Then pops her head back in to warn him. "And you better not mess up your hair or make up!"
Amy was excited for him to see her costume. She had worked very hard on it sewing it had been very complicated. It was a catsuit made of stretchy material. Each quadrant was an opposing red or black. Amy had sewn a matching jester style hat with dangling ears with white bobs on the end. It is very form fitting and when she zips it on. Amy worries it is too revealing even with it covering her entire body.
Amy starts by painting her face white too. Then she colors her lips in with black lipstick. Amy lines her eyes with black, and coats her eyelashes with mascara. Then she tugs on a black mask and ties her hat under her chin. From the pictures Sheldon showed her in his comic books. The hat was supposed to cover her hair completely. Amy has too much hair so she just lets it hang loose on her shoulders. She admires herself in the mirror before going to see how Sheldon is doing. She finds him sitting in the chair looking pensive. When he sees her a wide smile spreads over his face. The red lipstick makes the smile look even bigger and she can't help but giggle at him.
"Do you like it?" She asks spinning around.
"You look… I'm truly at a loss for words… Incredible," He says getting up.
"You don't look so bad yourself," She tells him winking. "Have you looked at yourself yet?" She asks him and he shakes his head no.
"You told me not too," He reminds.
"Good! Come on!" She says pulling him by his elbow in front of the mirror.
Amy thinks she did a great job on his costume too. At a vintage store she had found him a neon green button down shirt. Then she had sewn him a three piece suit out of a purple pinstriped material she found. It had taken her weeks of sewing and measuring and altering to get it right. It fit him perfectly and he looked fantastic. It was too bad there weren't any other places he could wear a purple three piece suit.
"What do you think?" She asks as she watches him stare at their reflection in the mirror. He reaches over and bats the ball at the end of her hat like a cat. Then he turns back to his reflection and adjusts his waistcoat.
"I look snazzy. I should have gotten married in something like this," He says admiring himself in the mirror.
"Oh yes, your mother would have loved that," Amy teases him pinching his cheek.
"Hey, watch the makeup!" He says batting her hand away. Then he turns towards her and regards her critically.
"What is my makeup messed up?" She asks peering closer into the mirror and he spins her to face him.
"You look perfect," He tells her as he reaches up to gently smooth her hair away from her face. "Well we could put your hair into pigtails. Harley Quinn wears her hair like that sometimes," He says tugging at her hair gently.
"Alright," She says as he unties her hat. Then he gets a brush and two elastics from her bag. Sheldon brushes and gathers her hair into two plaits then begins to braid each side securing them with elastics. Then he tugs each one to make sure they are even.
"Now we can put your hat back on," He tells her putting it back on her head and tying it. Then he looks at her seriously, his eyes blazing into hers making her feel weak in the knees.
"What?" She asks him.
"I really want to kiss you, but I don't want to smudge my lipstick," He tells her so seriously she can't help but laugh.
"No kissing until we've won first prize," Amy teases him turning and walking away from him.
"That's my girl," Sheldon says proudly following her out. "Your costume looks even better from behind," He says swatting her behind.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
During the drive Amy worries about their costumes. Hoping that they are good enough win a prize. What if there is another Harley Quinn and Joker there? Amy is confident these costumes would beat any store bought ones hands down. Amy starts feeling very nervous as she parks the car. This was a contest being held at a comic book store in L.A. Sheldon said a celebrity might be there. Surely their costumes would look chintzy in comparison to the others. As they walk in the store Amy realizes she shouldn't have worried. Not only are they the only Harley Quinn and Joker. They are the only couple there period. The rest of the guests are all men who turn and look at her with rabid interest.
"Sheldon what kind of party is this?" She hisses at him while grabbing his arm.
"The best kind," He says happily. "Now if you'll excuse me. I am going to find Leonard and lord my costume over his head," He says walking away.
"Sheldon don't leave me alone," Amy says but it's too late he is already behind a beaded curtain leading to a back room. Amy wants to follow him but all the eyes trained on her are make her frozen to the spot.
"Don't worry about these guys. It's just not often they get to see a real live girl," A kind voice says behind her. She turns around to see a tall thin young man. He is wearing a floor length black leather coat and black sunglasses.
"I'm sure there are other females who frequent this establishment," Amy says kindly.
"There's really not. I would know I'm the manager of the store," He says proudly.
"You seem so young to be the manager," Amy tells him and he beams at her. He hadn't seen Amy walk in with Sheldon. So he thinks he has a shot with her.
"Yeah kind of. I am just working here to pay my way through art school. Then I will be the one drawing the comics instead of selling them. My name's Stuart by the way," He says holding out his hand. Amy takes it and shakes it.
"Amy," She replies politely.
"Enchante," He says and he kisses her hand.
"Je suis marié, et pas intéressé à vous," Amy says smiling and he looks at her blankly.
"I'm sorry. I don't really speak French," He says apologetically.
"I was counting on that," She tells him dryly. "So what are you Batman or something?" She asks tugging her hand away.
"I'm Neo from the Matrix," He tells her pretending to dodge bullets for effect. Amy just shrugs her shoulders. "Batman was a good guess though. Maybe I should have been Batman the perfect foil to your Harley Quinn. Amazing costume by the way did you make that?"
"I did! My boyfriend wanted us to win this contest," She tells him.
"Your boyfriend?" He asks disappointed.
"There he is now," Amy says looking over Stuarts shoulder. Stuart turns around and sees Sheldon walking towards them. Looking very menacing in his Joker costume especially since he was glaring at Stuart. He comes to stand next to Amy wrapping his arm possessively around her waist.
"Stuart," He says nodding his head curtly. Stuart steps back from Amy not wanting to cause trouble.
"Sheldon, so glad you could make it tonight. You guys look fantastic," Stuart tells him.
"Amy made our costumes," Sheldon tells him smugly and Stuart nods his head.
"She was telling me about that. Well I better make the rounds. Duty calls you know," He says smiling then he turns around and grimaces when his back is turned. "Wish I had a girlfriend to sew my costumes," He grumbles.
"What were you doing talking to a character like Stuart?" Sheldon asks Amy.
"I wouldn't have been talking to him at all if you hadn't abandoned me," Amy says flipping a pigtail over her shoulder.
"I will be sticking to you from now on," He tells her while glaring at the men staring a bit too long for his liking.
"You should have been sticking with me before," Amy tells him annoyed placing a hand on his chest.
"You guys look terrific!" She hears Leonard say from behind her she turns around to see Leonard, Howard and Raj all dressed like Harry Potter characters.
"No you guys look amazing! Leonard did you dye your hair blonde?" She asks looking at his slicked back bleach blonde hair.
"Yeah but not just for the costume. I was ready for a change," He tells her and Amy tries to assemble her face in a supportive expression.
"It looks good on you!" Amy says grimacing
"It doesn't I am dying it back tomorrow," He tells her.
"Oh good! I dyed Sheldon's hair green but it's just temporary," Amy tells him.
"Amy says it will wash out when WE take a shower," He says loudly as Stuart passes again.
"Sheldon!" Amy says slapping his arm in embarrassment.
"Anyways you look great together!" She tells them.
"We would have looked better if Hermione had come too," Howard huffs adjusting his round glasses.
"If you had not scared her away maybe she would still be here?" Raj fixing his red wig.
"At least you guys have an Hermione. No one wants to be my Pansy Parkinson," Leonard laments.
"You guys are pathetic," Sheldon groans tired of the relationship talk and bitching from his friends.
"You're one to talk. You have a girl who not only dressed like you but made your costumes," Leonard reminds him bitterly.
"Alright everyone!" Stuart announces clapping to get everyone's attention. "Tonight we are having a costume contest. Top prize is a one hundred dollar gift certificate to the store. Everyone who would like to be entered gather up here. Group costumes can be entered as one," Stuart says as the entrants make their way up front.
"So what are the categories?" Sheldon asks eagerly.
"No categories just best costume, or as a group costumes, wins," Stuart says.
"That is preposterous who ever heard of a costume contest without categories?" Sheldon says angrily.
"Just think if we do win then the victory will be even greater," Amy whispers in his ear and he is mollified.
"Fine, I guess one winner makes sense," Sheldon says crossing his arms.
"Now that it's settled," Stuart says glaring at Sheldon. "There is a bowl and slips of paper on the stand here. Write down your favorite and I will tally up the votes. Winners get announced at ten o'clock," Stuart says.
"Shouldn't you introduce the competitors just in case the voters are confused?" Sheldon asks shaking his head at Stuart's ineptitude at running his own contest.
"Alright fine," Stuart agrees through gritted teeth. "So you can vote for The Joker and Harley Quinn," A loud collective cheer sounds amongst the guests of the party making Amy blush. "The Harry Potter guys, The justice League, Leelo from The Fifth Element, nice costume by the way Dale."
"Thanks," Dale says waving at the crowd and adjusting his red wig.
"Or you can vote for me as Neo," Stuart says pretending to dodge the bullets again and getting no applause. "Tough crowd," He mumbles. "So let the voting begin," He says.
"Come on," Sheldon tells Amy. "I want to show you something," He says grabbing her hand and guiding her to the backroom he had disappeared into earlier. Inside is a blue telephone booth.
"Is that a TARDIS?" Amy asks amused he had made her watch the show enough so she knew what it was. "Why is there a TARDIS in here? Is it always here? No wonder you spend so much time in this store," Amy says walking up to it and examining it.
"No, Raj rented it for the occasion," Sheldon tells her walking up behind her. "It doubles as a photo booth."
"Why and how would he do that?" Amy asks amused.
"His family is rich and he is wasteful," Sheldon tells her seriously. "I also think he was hoping to lure your friend Bernadette in here," He says leering at her and wiggling his eyebrows.
"Poor Raj, Bernadette had no intention of ever setting foot in this party," Amy tells him.
"I think what Bernadette is doing with Raj and Howard is wrong," He tells her hugging her from behind.
"I agree," Amy sighs and Sheldon looks down at her shocked.
"Really? I thought you were going to tell me what Bernadette does with her own body was her business. That I shouldn't force my values onto others," He says and Amy looks up at him pleased.
"Normally that does sound like me. However I like Raj and Howard and her actions are affecting them, and their friendship. Bernadette likes the attention of being in the middle, Someone, maybe all three of them, are going to get hurt," Amy says fiddling with one of the balls on her hat.
"I love it when you agree with me," He whispers in her ear.
"As much as you love it when I agree with you. I also think you love it when I challenge you," Amy says as she turns around in his arms and he presses her against the door of the TARDIS.
"That I do," He agrees bending down so his lips are barely hovering above hers. "If you're costume weren't so complicated. I would take you inside this TARDIS and show you how much I love it when you challenge me," He tells her and Amy opens the door and pulls them inside. Amy pushes him down on the bench inside and straddles his lap.
"You might like this feature of my costume then," Amy says pulling at a hidden zipper just below her navel. That connects the two sections of fabric together. It unzips all the way between her legs for practical reasons of course… Or spontaneity like right now.
"That is an interesting feature," He says wide eyed as he watches her slowly unzip the zipper all the way. She smiles slyly when she notices Sheldon's pupils have dilated as she bends down to kiss him.
"I had to think of everything," She winks as she fiddles with the buttons on his trousers. "It's a complicated costume, I had no idea what the accommodations would be like here."
"You never cease to amaze me," He says holding her face and kissing her softly. "We don't want to mess up our makeup though," He says worriedly.
"Who cares now? We are already being judged. If it gets smudged now we can just be battle ravaged," She tells him pulling his face towards hers and kissing him deeply.
"God woman, you're incredible," He murmurs against her mouth as he tugs at the rest of his clothes.
"That's why you married me," Amy says giggling as he pulls her hard onto his lap making them both groan.
"I thank my lucky stars everyday that I did," He tells her as he thrusts inside her. Making her gasp as she clutches his shoulders for balance.
Lately Sheldon had been feeling particularly grateful for Amy being in his life. He had known almost since the moment they met that she was the perfect woman for him. It wasn't until he started spending more time with Leonard and his friends that he realized how rare that was.
It seemed that his new friends were completely ruled by their hormones. All they talked about was the women they had bedded or planned to bed in the future. Leonard seemed to be over Penny for the most part. He had given up any designs he had on his sister. Now he was smitten with a girl in their physics department named Leslie Winkle. Sheldon detested her, she was the only one in their physics class who came close to his intelligence level. The woman thrived on putting him down. Whenever he countered her she called him dumbass. Regardless of his hatred for her he had to concede she was a better match for Leonard than Penny had been. Only Leslie seemed just as disinterested in an romantic endeavor with Leonard as Penny had been.
Howard and Raj were constantly fighting over Bernadette and where her affections were. Their competition over her did not stop them from leering at every other girl that came their way. It seemed that the favorite topic of competition at their lunch table was coitus. How to have it and who to have it with. Amongst the people gathered at the lunch table he was the most knowledgeable. Sheldon never participated in their discussions though. Never contributed one nugget of wisdom. Even when it was clear to him why these girls only wanted to engage in coitus with them just once.
When he and Amy were together it was special. It was just between them. He didn't want his friends thinking of her like that. Even if they had accidently gotten a show once. That was all they were ever getting from him. They didn't need to know how incredible it felt to be with her. How he never felt more alive than when all five of his senses were engaged with Amy. That she had her own scent, her very own flavor, that was completely intoxicating. That to him Amy was like a drug, and he was certain he would never have his fix. For if they knew they might want to see for themselves.
Who wouldn't he thinks to himself as he looks into her eyes. He didn't see anyone else's supposed girl here tonight. Yet his wife was not only here but dressed as a comic book character she barely understood. As much as seeing all those eyes on what was his annoyed him. It also made him fiercely proud. Amy was his and his alone. They could feast their eyes all be wanted. Amy belonged to him and him alone. Sheldon knew what a vision she was in that skin tight lycra suit. Even he could barely tear his eyes off her ample bottom when she walked in front of him. He was proud of himself for making it out of the house with her dressed like this. When she had first walked into the room he had almost canceled their plans. Taken her right then and there.
They had to win that contest however. He was going to win back the ring he had given Amy. Not the exact same one, that was back in Texas. The one George had tainted with his ill gotten gains. Sheldon had seen a very similar one in the stores display case. Amy would have her engagement ring back! This time he would win it honestly. They would win it back together.

Raj is feeling very sorry for himself as he moves around the party. It seemed like he had been drawing the short straw a lot lately. He knew that Bernadette and Howard had slept together. Even if they were trying to keep it secret. He wasn't blind he could tell something was different. That things between them had changed.
That's why he had insisted on throwing this elaborate party. At the party he would declare his undying love for Bernadette. She would graciously accept. Then they would consummate their love in the TARDIS photo booth.
Dressed as Harry and Hermione with photographic evidence to prove it. Only nothing had gone as planned. Bernadette had refused to attend the party. Then he had literally drawn the short stick and had to be Ron. The worst of the characters. Ron was a red headed freak who would never get the girl. Now his parents had cut off his allowance. He had spent almost 2000 dollars on everything for the party. All he had to show for it was a red wig.
Raj decides to go visit the TARDIS and dream of what might of been. He rests his head against the side and sighs heavily. Playing the fantasy of him and Bernadette inside of it again. When he hears that there's someone inside of it. Sheldon and Amy to be precise. Unless two other fellows here were expressing the love that dare not speak it's name.
Raj knows he should leave them be. It had been embarrassing enough when he walked in on them the first time. He still couldn't look Amy in the eye without blushing. But Raj doesn't move, he stands at the side of the TARDIS listening. Feeling terrible, creepy and voyeuristic. Yet he is unable to walk away.
Curiosity getting the best of him. This would be the closest he got to sex all night. Raj wasn't attracted to Amy in the slightest. Even dressed in her Harley Quinn outfit she just wasn't his brand of strawberry jam. Still he pictures it being himself with her in the TARDIS. How would it feel to hold a woman? To hear her moan his name softly the way Amy was whispering Sheldon's.
"I would ask you to marry me, all over again if I could," He hears Sheldon tell Amy. His mouth falls open in shock and surprise. Married? They weren't old enough to be married were they?
"And you know I would say yes again," He hears Amy answer him. Unrooted from his trance he runs out of the room. He needs to find someone anyone to tell about what he just heard. The first person he sees is Leonard and be grabs his arm out of breath.
"Leonard! You may want to sit down. I have some fairly shocking news!" Raj practically yells at him.
"What? What's going on?" Leonard asks confused.
"Sheldon and Amy are married!" He says expecting Leonard to react and instead he just shrugs his shoulders.
"I thought everyone knew that?" Leonard asks him.
"Knew what?" Howard asks walking up to them.
"That Sheldon and Amy are married!" Raj tells him hoping for a reaction again.
"So? That's old news," Howard says laughing.
"Why am I always the last to know?" Raj asks disappointed. "How about this? I caught Sheldon and Amy having sex in the TARDIS!" He says excitedly.
"I could tell that just by looking at them," Howard laughs as he points to Sheldon and Amy emerging from the back room. Their makeup is smudged and Sheldon's hair is standing on end. Amy laughs holding up a photo strip to show to Sheldon who looks embarrassed and quickly hides it inside his coat pocket.
"That lucky bastard," They hear Stuart say behind them.
"You got the hots for Amy?" Leonard laughs.
"Who wouldn't? Look at that girl she is a nerd's wet dream. The contest is a joke almost every vote is for her," Stuart says holding the slips up. "How did that guy get her? If she ever comes to her senses give her my number," He tells them.
"Don't think that will be happening. They are married," Leonard tells him and Stuarts shoulders sag.
"Well if they ever get divorced my offer still stands," He says when they hear the crowd get loud and start murmuring in excitement. They turn to the front door and see that Bernadette has just walked in with Penny. They are both dressed in tight white shirts and gray ears. "Who are those girls?" Stuart asks excited.
"Those are our girls!" Leonard and Howard say together.
"And sort if mine too!" Raj pipes up.
