Some days past before Candy joined them again for dinner, but even then Sheldon was still unpleasent with her.

'Hello everyone' Candy got into Sheldon and Leonard's apartment with her brother and recived again only a hey by Leonard while Raj and Sheldon remained quiet

'Still annoyed by my presence cutie?'

'Dear lord. Yes I am annoyed and please stop calling me that!'

'Whatever, I have a gift for you.'

Sheldon rolled his eyes while the others stared amused

'I don't like gifts, after you offer me the gift I wil have to give you a gift back and I have no pacience for that'

'You don't have to give me anything back because it is a peace offer' Candy gave him the cutest smile she could

'Fine' Sheldon opened it, not with high expectations or enthusiasm.. until he saw it. It was a authentic ring used in the shootings of The Lord of the Rings. Sheldon stood up staring at the gift and asked:

'How did you get this?'

'I know people. So, do you like it?'

Sheldon continued to stare between her and the ring.

'So, for my birthfay you give me a shirt but for Sheldon there is a authentic Lord of the Rings ring!'

'Of course, I just wanted you to change those awful turtle necks' All the guys started to envy Sheldon and after a few more seconds in silence Sheldon moved to Candy's direction and hugged, like he did to Penny when she got him the Leonard Nimoy napkin.

'Thank you'

'You're welcome cutie. So, are we friends now?'

'Of course! You'll have to sign a frindship agreement though'

'And what is a friendship agreement exactly?'

'An agreement with rules you must keep in order to mantain the frienship and if you break any rule you get a strike. After 3 stikes you'll are banished and will have to take a class'

'That's weird'

'Of course it is weird! The guy is nuts'

'No he is not, his mother got him tested1 Right?'

'Yes, You seem to learn quickly even being a dirt person, congratulations, I am impressed'

'Thank you'

'So is that it? You are taking his side? Not your dear brother side?'

'Yes'

'I'm telling mother!'

While Candy and Howard argued Sheldon found himself thinking about how nice she had been for him and felt a warmth in his cheast. That was it, he had to go to the hospital to tak to a doctor, even though doctors are inferior minds and hospitals are full of diseases this Candy condition was getting worse, and had to be fixed.


After everyone was gone Leonard sitted on the couch next to Sheldon

'So, do you like Candy now?'

'Well, yes she gave me my precious, why wouldn't I'

'So you don't care that she is a dirt person?'

'Well, I'd rather she wasn't one but one recieves such a wonderful gift such as this ring, one does not care about the profission of the person who gave it. Turns out she is a good friend despite her brother and job'

'Only a friend? I thought you liked her more than that' Leonard smiled mischiviously

'What do you mean with that?' Sheldon was totaly oblivious of the matter.

'Well, I thought that since you are romanticly atracted to her you would want Candy to be your girlfriend' Leonard smiled even more. Sheldon frowned

'Leonard I am not romanticly atracted to her, and I don't want her to be my girlfriend! why would I? She is just a girl who is a friend'

'Fine. Whatever' Leonard gave up on the matter for the night but knew that there was something there.
