Amy woke before Sheldon that morning. It was their last day at the convention, and Amy was both happy and sad about it. She could see what Sheldon liked about it, but the crowds and the amount of time it took made her glad that she didn't have to come back for another year. Still, she worked to get ready before Sheldon woke up, but he was sitting on his bed playing with he phone when she came out of the shower.
Amy was a little sad that the next morning would be the last time that she would wake up in the same room as her boyfriend. It didn't seem likely that they would share a room again for a great long while. She would miss his perfectly matched pajamas and his slightly messy hair and his personally waking her up. Though she wouldn't miss being worried about keeping him up in the night with her nightmares.
Today's was her favorite outfit of the weekend because it was a bit like if her style had been mixed with Penny's. Lighter colors, but still conservative and modest. She was dressed as Penny from Dr. Horrible. She was in a beige skirt, a blue tank top with a flowery blouse over it.
Amy was struggling with her wig. This one was easier and more comfortable than the large Hermione wig that she got out of wearing the previous day, but it still caused her problems. She made a note for next year to avoid wigs at all costs. Sheldon reappeared in his lab coat and goggles. He hadn't put his gloves on yet, so Amy turned to him.
"Can you help me this this?" Amy asked, clearly frustrated by the fact that she couldn't get the wig to lay flat or straight.
"I'm teaching you about wigs before we come back next year," Sheldon said as he removed the wig and shook it out to put it back on Amy's head. She shivered a little at the feeling of his hands running down her neck as he smoothed out the fake hair.
"Are you getting sick?" Sheldon asked and then took a step away from her. He pulled some hand sanitizer from his pocket and poured it on his hands.
"No. It's just cold in here," Amy lied. She wasn't used to the feeling of his hands on her at all, but especially not his fingertips trailing down her bare neck.
Sheldon didn't think it was cold, but he turned the heat up in the room just a little. Then he finished getting ready. His hair was a little messier than normal, and Amy thought it was adorable. They went down to meet everybody, and Sheldon remembered Amy's dream, so he grabbed her hand.
"Everybody is staying together today, so you won't lose me or anyone else," Sheldon said.
When they got down to where everyone else was already eating breakfast, Penny looked up to see them in that day's costumes. "Wow, you guys look great. Amy, you should include that skirt into your regular wardrobe. It's really cute."
"Thanks," Amy said. Penny used to try really hard to get Amy to change the way she dressed, but these days it was only small suggestions like that. Either Penny had given up or she had started to accept how her friend dressed.
Everyone else was dressed in their normal street clothes, but Amy actually didn't mind. It was fun dressing up. That was a lesson that Sheldon taught her that she never would have expected. Bernadette and Penny looked considerably less sunburned. The aloe must have done wonders for them.
"So, how was your night alone?" Penny asked when Sheldon went to look over the morning's breakfast selections.
"Okay," was all Amy said. It didn't feel like a lie, and she didn't want to get into her work stuff or her nightmare or Sheldon.
They all made their way over to the convention center. Amy had fallen a little bit behind and was walking next to Howard, so she started making conversation. "Did you know that you look a lot like one of the actors in Dr. Horrible? Have you ever seen it?"
"Yeah. I've heard that every single year since it came out. I heard it twice yesterday. Last year someone didn't believe I wasn't him, and wouldn't leave me alone until I signed an autograph. It probably won't help that I'm walking with you guys today," Howard said grumpily. Amy laughed and promised him that they would go do karaoke again to make up for it.
Amy moved up to the front to be next to Sheldon and took his hand again. They were nearly to the convention center when a red haired woman walked past them. She gave Sheldon and Amy a thumbs up and said, "Looking good, you two," as she passed.
They stopped in their tracks and looked back as everyone else nearly crashed into them. Penny said, "What the heck, guys?"
"That was Felicia Day. She just complimented our costumes," Amy tried to explain, but it was clear that Penny wasn't getting it. "I'm dressed as one of her characters."
"Oh, wow," Penny finally understood and looked back like everyone else.
Amy looked up at Sheldon and he was just staring at her open mouthed. He had experienced a lot of cool things at ComicCon, but this was right up there. He was glad that he had been able to share it with Amy and no one even had to get a restraining order this time. After a moment, they started walking again.
The convention center was as busy as Amy had ever seen it. The vision of her dream came back to her, but Sheldon had been right. He was taller than many of the convention goers and he had a tight grip on her hand through his glove. Amy hadn't even looked at the itinerary that day, so she let Sheldon lead her to wherever he wanted to go.
A/N: I had to include Felicia Day because her telling me that I'm an artist is easily one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me in my life. She is really nice, so I figured she would be really nice to Sheldon and Amy. Also, she asked me where I got my Bazinga bracelet from. I know you guys don't need to know any of this, but I wanted to tell you anyway. Thanks for reading.
