A/N: The Comic-Con Arc officially gets underway here. The Parts will be designated with CCP# for all of them. Enjoy


July 17th: 62 Days After Sheldon Left.

It was all anyone in Eli Nozomis social circle could talk about. How in the mere month and a half since encountering him on the train they had developed a relationship of a deeply committed couple. The Japan trip, which for Eli had been initially to see her grandmother in the Shinjuku hospital became a montage when Lee crashed it and like the one song about Japan that gets annoying after time, they had a fling. Even meeting Eli's parents humbled Lee to the point where he even cooked them dinner showing off some unexpected hibachi skills.

Now as the two of them had 2 weeks before the final selections of the girls who will reside in the house they were casually playing the multiplayer of Uncharted 3. El, was a bit nervous at the thought of taking on her boyfriend and even wanted not to do so.

"Lee. I swear how good are you when it comes to video games cause I don't want to humiliate you."

"Geese El, I said this even at the hot spring when we played ping pong you won't humiliate me at anything, besides there was one thing I was looking forward too anyway."

"What was that?"

"If you beat me by more then 5 I'll tell you, now lets start this."

As far as FPS goes El ended up taking a quick liking to the controls. It was with quick succession that she brought down Lee 7 times in a row. They traded kills twice and with a mere two seconds left before it ended, she sniped him in the corner of a ship.

"Down goes Drake!" Eli was over the moon with excitement while Lee sighed heavily.

"That's not fair I couldn't get turned around, Eli I know you had a PS3 in this house before I moved in so are you sure you haven't played before."

"Well last year a girl named Nikora schooled me on The Last of Us, so I've played, just not Uncharted."

Lee shut of the TV and went to the fridge to get himself some lemonade. Eli followed him having earned the right to grill him.

"So, what were you looking forward too?"

"What?"

"I beat you at Uncharted, now you need to tell me."

Lee poured out strawberry lemonade into two glasses and handed one to his girlfriend. She sipped it in earnest while Lee dug into his brain.

"Back in early January my friends and I were trying to buy tickets to Comic Con in San Diego."

"You go to Comic Con?" She asked in surprise.

"Yes, we didn't end up getting tickets and I tried to start a rip-off convention of my own. As luck would have it after one wild night with James Earl Jones he ended up promising me and my friends guest passes for the convention. It's a shame that I'll never get a chance to use them."

"Lee, you know you can go back to Pasadena to see them right?"

"El, I made one of the biggest spectacles I ever made, no I'm committed to my life here you are everything to me now."

Eli sighed in slumped down by the fridge. Lee looked at her in shear sadness and shock.

"Hey, did I make you sad again?"

"No, you kind of ruined my surprise though."

"A surprise?"

"Yeah, see that podcast I've done for Korra?"

"That thing which got 3 times as many views as you appearance on Fun With Flags did?"

"Oh yes, The creators of Avatar sent me an email saying they are huge fans of the way I go into big detail concerning each episode and the philosophical meanings of the characters. They offered me two passes for the convention and a guaranteed question at the Korra Panel."

Lee held her up in amazement and surprise.

"Eli is it for all 4 days?"

"Yeah, I just don't think I should."

"Why not, El from what I could see on the last 4 episodes you deserve any chance to become more famous and recognized. I could go with you we can even cosplay together."

Eli though lone and hard about it, this would be a big deal, but there was one factor inhibiting her from making a decision.

"Lee, if we go, what about your friends we may see them, I just don't want that to be unpleasant for you."

"El, you are my girlfriend and I will always put your needs before mine, and without me I really don't think the guys would have gone anyway, they bought scalped tickets so they may be jailed. Now come on reply to them already."

Eli smiled and simply nodded. Within 24 hours the passes had arrived for them. The two were set for a great weekend.


18 Hours Later.

"Leonard?" Penny asked while in the shower "Did you get the mail for today?"

"No crud I didn't I'll get it quick."

"Ok hurry, I got to be Amy's in 45 minutes and I want to have dinner with you first."

Leonard rushed down the 3 flights of stairs heading for the lobby. When he reached his mailbox cubby one thought rushed through his mind.

"Hope you're doing OK up there buddy."

He opened the cubby up and saw one lone package.

"Looks like he forgot to send a forwarding address."

The box addressed to Sheldon looked like an ordinary box banks would use to keep stacks of checks in. After tearing it open he quickly saw the note and read it with surprise.

"Dear Sheldon, as promised I got you The Convention Long Guest Access Passes for you and your 6 friends. We'll meet at the hotel which I've selected and provided deluxe suites for you all to go through our comic con itinerary, looking forward to meeting that weenie friend of yours Leonard. We'll be in contact soon, Warm Regards…James Earl Jones."

The sheer amount of shock on Leonard's face was amplified the moment he removed the note and saw the comic con logo on seven identical passes.

"Oh My God, Sheldon thank you…."

He rushed back upstairs with his and Penny's mail to relate the good news.
