Penny walked into apartment 4A where Leonard was waiting.
Feeling accomplished for her good deed she strode over to his side.
Leonard unable to hide the grin that crossed his face, "How did it go over at Amy's?"
Penny shook her head before responding, "It wasn't easy, but I was honest and Amy seemed grateful. How did it go for you?"
Leonard shrugged his shoulders. "As well as can be expected. I'm just thankful that Sheldon listened and seemed to understand."
Penny looked aimlessly around the room, "Speaking of, where is he?"
Leonard with a smug expression, "I just dropped him off at the University. He was supposed to meet Amy there for a lecture. Talk about perfect timing, it would give them both the opportunity to talk."
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing.
Leonard reached for the phone and answered, "Hello? Oh hi Mrs. Cooper. Oh no, Sheldon isn't in… I see… just one moment…"
Leonard turned and asked Penny, "Did Sheldon tell you when he was taking the train to Texas for the Cooper family reunion?"
Penny shook her head, "Not really. Oh, but it might be written on the calendar in his room!"
Leonard gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and quipped, "That's why I love you, your smart and beautiful."
Speaking back into the phone, "Hold on Mrs. Cooper, I'll go check Sheldon's calendar in his bedroom. It will just be one moment."
Leonard and Penny entered Sheldon's room. While trying to read the calendar Leonard accidentally knocked Sheldon's book off the bedside table.
"It looks like he is leaving on the 16th. Uh-huh… Amy? I'm not quite sure I can ask him to give you a call when he gets home. Ok great, good talking to you as well."
Leonard finished and hung up the phone.
Turning again towards Penny, "Did Sheldon mention anything about Amy attending the family reunion? Mrs. Cooper was asking if this would be Amy's first time going to Texas."
Penny looked dumbfounded, "No one said anything to me. But I don't think she would want to go Amy has mentioned that Mrs. Cooper doesn't exactly approve of their relationship."
Leonard shook his head and corrected, "Mrs. Cooper adores Amy. She just has this reverse psychology thing going on with Sheldon, that's all."
Penny's stomach turned into knots, she was starting to have second thoughts on their good deed.
"Leonard, do you think we did the right thing?"
Leonard leaned down to pick up Sheldon's book that fell to the floor. When he lifted it up, what seemed to be a thin strip of paper fell from its pages onto the floor.
Penny picked it up and took one look at the item she held in her hands and burst into tears.
Leonard rushed over to see what was wrong; he looked at the paper in Penny's hands and realized it wasn't a simple piece of paper. It was actually the photo booth pictures they had taken.
To his surprise, Sheldon and Amy had big smiles across each of their faces. In all of the pictures Sheldon had his arms wrapped around Amy protectively. He noticed a light blush to Amy's cheeks as she leaned her head against Sheldon's. If he had not seen the evidence with his own eyes he would never have believed it.
Leonard's facial expression changed to that of horror, "What have we done?"
Speaking in mumbled sobs Penny cried, "We have to stop them Leonard! This is all our fault!"
They both ran out of the apartment and down the stairs. They needed to get to the university before Amy.
