In this chapter, Penny and Leonard put their plan into action...

"I'm not sure about this. Last time I was on a plane, Wolowitz and I nearly died" Sheldon was restless in his seat.

"You're overacting. Just sit still" Leonard was already beginning to regret his and Penny's plan.

"I'm just checking the emergency exits are still accessible. Where's my life-jacket? It was here when we took off…ah found it" Sheldon's thoughts were disorganised and frantic, his fear of flying had only recently developed "Why didn't we take the train?"

"You had already bought the tickets and I wasn't wasting more money just to take the train. Plus it takes hours!" Leonard argued, he rested his head on his bent arm, trying to sleep.

"Nevertheless, the train is always better" Sheldon muttered and went to remove his seat-belt.

"Where are you going?" Leonard was suddenly wide awake.

"To the bathroom" Sheldon replied confused as he began to stand.

"Wait!" Leonard stood and looked frantically around, trying to think of an excuse. He caught Penny's eye who just nodded in understanding. She was seated at the very back of the plane, Amy was next to her looking out of the window. Luckily she had not seen the two men at the front of the plane.

Penny distracted Amy with the small television placed in front of them, "Have you watched the safety video?" She asked, leaning over and tapping the screen.

"What? The hostess literally just explained this all to us" Amy was disinterested and confused.

"Yeah but you can never be too safe" Penny attempted to laugh. She plugged in headphones and passed them to Amy who sighed in defeat and placed them in her ears.

Leonard waited until Amy was distracted.

"We only have 20 minutes until we land. Can't you wait?" he pleaded.

Sheldon looked at him in confused, he paused before replying bluntly, "No" and he made to leave again.

Leonard hastily jumped up and out into the aisle with him, "You know, I think I'll join you" he began to lead Sheldon down towards the bathroom.

"What? There's only room for one in there Leonard and I'm not sharing with you. Now please just let me past, I have to pee"

Suddenly, a barely comprehendible announcement was made 'Folks, we're beginning our descent into San Francisco, would you please all take your seats'

Leonard sighed heavily as they 'fasten seat-belt' sign flashed, he raised his eyebrows with a smug look towards Sheldon.

"Fine!" Sheldon turned abruptly and marched back to their seats.

Before Sitting down Leonard glanced towards Penny, she exhaled dramatically. That was close.

Whilst Amy was getting her case from baggage claim, Penny took the chance to call Leonard.

"Hi, where are you?"

"Sheldon's get getting a cab"

"That was really close. We have to be more subtle"

"I told you not to get tickets for the same flight!" Leonard argued

"Well, it was last minute and I was not going to drive almost 6 hours with a depressed Amy in the car"

"Fine. Sheldon's coming back, I gotta go. See you at the hotel" Leonard ended the phone call.

Penny quickly ushered Amy into their twin bedroom, frantically peering in all directions. Amy grunted as she was bustled in and the door was slammed shut behind her.

"What is going on with you?" Amy asked, dumping her bags down on the bed by the window.

"Nothing, nothing. I just want you to start relaxing. This trip is for you. We're going to do whatever you want. Nothing cures heartbreak like a girl's weekend" Penny smiled and joined her at the window. They stood at the there, watching the world go by. Amy let out a huge sign and leant her head against the window. Penny saw this and tried to raise Amy's spirits.

"So what do you want to do? We could go down to the spa? Hair salon? We could grab some food somewhere, in the restaurant? Go to the bar?"

Amy stood upright, "Can we go and look around the city? Maybe we could go on the cable cars?"

Penny wanted to say no, she was trying to keep Amy contained in the hotel to reduce the risk of running into Sheldon and Leonard. She and Leonard had agreed that he would keep Sheldon outside and she would keep Amy inside. They would reveal their plan to the pair later.

But for now she had to keep them apart.

They soon agreed to go and find a small café in the city and have tea. The ladies left their small hotel room and made their way down the corridor, Penny became shifty again.
