The Termination Connection Chapter 3, a big bang theory fanfic

Glossary:

bIpIv'a' : How are you

majQa', jIpIv : well done, I am healthy

batlh jIvumlu'chugh : I'll be honor, my princess

No, jIyaj : no, I understand.

maj ram, Qapla' : Goodnight, Bye.

nuqneH : What do you want?

qamuSHa' : I love you

"bIpIv'a' " Amy said while on Skype with Leonard.

Leonard giggled as he folded his clean laundry and glanced at his laptop screen. Amy's sincere efforts to learn Klingon impressed him. He'd never met a woman who understood what it was like to be a geek.

"majQa', jIpIv." was all he murmured.

"Leonard, I have some circumstances in which I require your assistance." She said, "My mother will visit me this Sunday and she wants to meet you in person. I'd like to postpone the date's evaluation and ask you to do me a favor: meet us next week, on Sunday, and introduce yourself as my real boyfriend."

"batlh jIvumlu'chugh," he said happily. Amy whispered, Hooo, looking confused. He continued. "Do you want me to translate it?"

"No, jIyaj." They stay silent for a moment. "maj ram, Qapla'!"

My princess. The phrase keeps repeating in her mind, and why did she say Hooo and listed her symptoms: tachycardia, palmar hyperhidrosis, xerostomia, and chest palpitations, but couldn't come up with a working diagnosis.

She began reading Chaucer's "The Miller's Tale." She felt the same symptoms from the conversation with Leonard when she read the part about Absolon hath kist hir nether ye. She immediately closed the book. Dopamine, endorphin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and oxytocin were making her diagnosis difficult for a woman who views emotion as a chemical reaction.

The Biology Department Head called her that Wednesday. There were no notes or topics for the meeting, which added to her anxiety. She hoped no one found out about her throwing manure at capuchins.

She came into the office and saw Dr. Butler and Sheldon inside. He was dressed up with a tie. She was baffled by what was going on.

"Dr. Fowler," said the department head, starting the conversation. "I'd like you to meet Dr. Cooper of Cal-Tech, a theoretical physicist who wants you to be his partner in a study of Quantum Cognition Theory. We found a grant donor, a Saudi prince, who can sponsor both of you for this research."

"I decline, but thank you for the offer," she said as ran out of the office and back to her laboratory.

She doesn't want anything to do with him. She didn't realize it, until now, the anger when he left her without an explanation. The feeling of being neglected he put in her. She had forewarned him by including it in their friendship agreement. She has to stick to her demands. The friendship is over and permanently terminated.

Knock, knock, knock. "Amy!"

Sheldon arrived at her lab with her lunch.

"nuqneH," she said, shocked by her language. Leonard had taught him well about Klingons.

That took him by surprise. He gave her a friendly smile.

"Maggie is taking postgraduate classes, and I can't bear wasting this food."

It enraged her even more. She was yet another filler for his new girlfriend. A patch as Maggie isn't around to cater to him. "Amy, I want you to participate in this study about Quantum Cognition Theory. Aside from being a top neurobiologist in our country. You are the perfect partner, for someone like me, for this research."

"I already refused the offer."

"I present to you the Collaboration Agreement."

"I don't care, Dr. Cooper. I'm not interested." She said once more.

She was about to leave her lab again, but Sheldon stopped her by holding her arms.

"You can't just throw people out of your life like trash, Sheldon!" She yelled, but she lowered her head down as she was attempting to hide her tears. Trying to remove his hand from her arm, Sheldon pulled her close and hugged her.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I miss you." The tables are turning quickly, he wants her to beg him. And now, he's the one pleading for her forgiveness.

Her nose was filled with the scent of baby powder. She admits she missed the scent. This is the closest she has been to Sheldon. She felt the warmth of his body, and her chest would erupt with all of her emotions at any moment. She chose to refrain from reciprocating the gesture. She must fight the urge and deny that she misses him.

"Please, Amy, give me a chance. Promise, we will just do the work. No tangent outside the topic." He is praying to the deity he doesn't believe in to give him a chance to be Amy again, and he'll work his way up until he presents to her the Relationship Agreement.

He held her petite body like that for a while. She needed to come up with something to cease the spell. To compensate for the emotional declaration, she reverted to her emotionless, robotic self.

"I'll think about it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to take my temperature. " breaking the silence between them.

"Are you sick, Amy?" he inquired, immediately covering his nose and mouth. "Can I stay here?"

"I'm not sick, I experienced some distressing symptoms last night, so I'm checking my vital signs every hour." She explains. "You can stay if you want."

"I'd be happy to create a chart and participate in a differential diagnosis."

"No, Sheldon, that's not necessary."

"What were the symptoms?"

"Elevated heart rate, moist palms, dry mouth, and localized vascular throbbing."

"Onset?"

"I was reading The Miller's Tale by Chaucer last night when I experienced those symptoms." She can't claim she was talking to Leonard at the time all of the symptoms occurred.

"All right, I think I have enough to go on. Possible explanations for your symptoms are, in descending order of likelihood, hyperthyroidism, premature menopause, hosting an alien parasite, or, and I only include it for the sake of covering absolutely all bases, sexual arousal. "

She came to a halt as she considered being sexually aroused by Leonard. The alien parasite is the only plausible explanation. "Where would I have picked up an alien parasite?"

They checked her blood work and assessed her condition. Hyperthyroidism is ruled out. Normal Follicle Stimulating Hormones. She crossed sexually aroused off Sheldon's list, claiming she was too evolved to be a slave to her primal desires.

She missed him. She missed their intellectual interaction.

He was missing her. And he was pleased internally because it gave him the opportunity to work alongside her, his future girlfriend.

Penny invited her out for a drink after work the next day, wanting to catch up on her and Sheldon's recent events. She met Bernadette alongside. She's wearing her violet-stripe-cardigan, a checkered blouse and a brown inner camisole , together with a denim skirt.

"Dr. Wackadoodle was less of a pain in the ass yesterday, and he said that you agreed to collaborate with him." Penny said as she sipped her wine.

"I said that I'd think about it. I haven't agreed to anything yet. " Amy stated. "Carbonated water isn't enough for my thoughts these past weeks. What should I order, Penny? "

Penny ordered a glass of wine at the counter, but she was dragged back by a beautiful tall man.

"What's the matter? You appear distressed." Bernadette asked.

"I've been busy at work and in my personal life. I was informed by Penny that you are a microbiologist. " She noticed Penny making out with the guy.

"Yes, I am taking my postgraduate degree at Cal-tech."

Leonard had sent her a text message.

Dr. Leonard Hofstadter: Please, don't drink too much. I know Penny can be demanding. If you need a ride, please text me.

She smiled as she read the message. She informed him about the research Sheldon was proposing, and he agreed that it was a great opportunity.

"Who is that?" Penny asked her. "By the way, girls, my boyfriend, just minutes ago, Zack. And Zack, this is Bernadette, Howard's girlfriend. And this is Amy, Sheldon's…" She paused for a second. "...friend."

"Correction, ex-friend!"

"Ex-friend."

They catch up briefly before deciding to return home. Penny returned to 2311 Los Robles with Zack and dropped Bernadette off at her apartment building.

From the comic book store for the second time that week, Sheldon found Leonard reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen when he came home.

"Why are you reading romance novels?"

He laid the book down on the coffee table. "Nothing!" exclaimed a high-pitched voice.

"Amy wants me to read that book. I ignored her request, but I bought one. Maybe, I'll read it in the future. "

He will exert every effort to make Amy and him a reality. If she wants romance, they will have romance even if he has to do the impossible, drink grape juice that burns, stare into each other's eyes, and yes, kiss her.

He put himself to the test yesterday by touching Amy's arms. He was taken aback by his own actions. He felt nothing repulsive and was not even afraid of dying from all her germs. He wants her, quirks and all.

But first, he must inform her of his false story about Maggie McGeary.

Leonard arrived on Friday with a new formal suit, black with a green tie, and washed it. Amy's eyes are the same color as his tie. He found Penny in the same room, washing hers.

"Is this new? You don't want to put them in the washer," Penny told him while folding her newly dried clothes.

"Why?"

"No, that's silk. Seriously, what would you do without me?" Penny was about to kiss his cheeks when he swayed backwards to deflect. "Oh, who's the girl?"

"Girl? No. What are you talking about? " said with a high-pitched voice. "By the way, you and Zack, again?"

"How did you know?" He can't tell her that Amy blabbed.

"I saw you guys kissing in front of your door last night."

"Oh, that… I have to go. Bye, Leonard. " She left the room with her laundry basket.

At 10 a.m, Leonard knocked on Amy's door, wearing a new tie. He had to arrive early because Amy needed to explain the rules of their date to him first.

"Only in this case is physical contact permitted. My father, Larry Fowler, is a silent, sweet man, but my mother will interrogate you down to your bones, squeezing all the information out of you. "

"Your father?" he asks, hesitant to meet her father. "He may be sweet to you, but not to the man you're dating or, hypothetically, having sex with currently." Hooo

"Don't worry about him; you're my first boyfriend," she says, exacerbating his anxiety. "We have to appear to be a real couple, Leonard. You've been with other relationships before, so I'll rely on you."

Amy gave him a summary of all authorized physical contact.

Approved:

1. Holding hands

2. Putting arms on the following areas: Waist, Shoulders, Lower thighs & Elbows

3. Hugging

4. Kissing on the cheeks ONLY if necessary.

Checking everything before leaving the apartment, she walked close to him and fixed his tie. "qamuSHa', honey." She jokingly stated. " And after lunch, we can evaluate our next move in our experiment."
