The Girls' Night Intervention – Compilation & Advice


Again, I would like to thank everyone for reading and reviewing. Some of you I can't thank personally since you don't have the PM function activated...soooo, thank you very much! :) I hope you continue to enjoy.


Amy met his eyes for a second. Only thirty percent of her brain was functional after hearing Sheldon's proposition. The rest was taken up with a combination of fantasy and desire. Her mind was overwhelmed by images of her and Sheldon lying next to each other in bed, perhaps even exploring each others bodies. For now though, she would have to push all these images and wants aside. Logic had to prevail over desire, she was not about to give in to his charms that easily.

She got up from the armchair and stood directly in front of him.

"It's too soon," she murmured as she brought her hand up to touch his cheek, an action which made Sheldon shudder in delight but also disappointed him some.

"I understand," he said as his hopes fell flat.

"Well, I had better go. I'm glad we had this talk tonight Sheldon," she said brightly.

They exchanged one last kiss goodnight, just a light peck but one that left a lasting effect on both.

Amy smiled at him as she left his apartment to go across the hall once more, leaving Sheldon standing at the door watching her. He sighed in relief knowing that he hadn't ruined everything. Closing the door, he sat down at his desk despite it being his usual bed time. He turned on the computer, got comfortable because… he had work to do.


Across the hall, Amy entered the apartment to find the two girls waiting expectantly.

"Soooo, how did it go?" Bernadette asked starting the inquisition.

Amy strode confidently over to the arm chair with a plastered grin on her face.

"You were both right. I told him what I wanted from this relationship without hesitating," Amy started explaining but Penny's eagerness interrupted her.

"Oh come on Ames, we saw the hug … get to the good stuff!"

"Well, he apologized, said he missed me, kissed me passionately…" Amy recited but was cut off again by the girls squealing in delight.

"Open or closed mouth?" Penny asked excitedly.

"Open," Amy answered as she recalled that kiss, the way their tongues met with desire… how they danced around each other slowly, the feeling still leaving her longing for more than that.

"Oooooooooooh," came out of the girls as they clapped their hands in joy.

"And, he wasn't even disgusted by all the saliva and tongue touching," Amy managed to say after the girls stopped cheering. "He's the one that started it and he even put his hand on my thigh," she added wiggling her brows up and down.

"OH MY GOD!" Penny exclaimed as she started hitting Bernadette's arm.

"Guess what else," Amy continued blissfully, "he wanted me to stay the night!"

"And what did you say?" Bernadette asked curiously in a low voice.

"I told him it's too soon," Amy stated proudly.

"Oh, good for you!" Penny exclaimed, "Making him wait…I like it!"

"Wow Amy, it seems that you guys have straightened things out," Bernadette said assumingly.

"Well, I wouldn't go that far. We still have some issues to work out and work on but at least now I know where we stand. That's a feat all in itself considering the man we are talking about." Amy lightly chuckled.

"We have to celebrate!" Penny said as she retrieved another bottle of wine from the fridge and opened it. She poured a little bit in each glass, raising hers first.

"To Shamy!"

"To Shamy!" Bernadette repeated joyfully.

"To good friends I never had and honesty!" added Amy and they all clinked their glasses together.

The next half hour was spent with Amy filling them in on the conversation between herself and Sheldon, particularly describing his embarrassment when she told him she knew about the Kripke scandal. They all laughed and Amy was relieved but now she could sense a feeling of tribulation on Penny's part so she decided to turn the tables.

"Penny," she said softly as she looked at her.

"Yeah?" Penny responded nonchalantly.

"Your turn," Amy replied.

"For what?" Penny questioned, furrowing her brows.

'Yeah, for what?" Bernadette chimed in.

"Well, you helped me tonight," Amy said as she had her eyes on Penny but then directed her glance at Bernadette. "It wouldn't be fair if I didn't reciprocate the favour, right Bernadette?"

"Oh yeah, she's right Penny… you are…wait... what's the problem with Penny?" Bernadette said as she was oblivious to the events that occurred two weeks ago. Leonard had only told Sheldon what happened but since Sheldon was consumed with his own relationship difficulties, the word never spread amongst the group. Penny never told anyone either, but hinted that something was wrong when Amy sent her a text two weeks ago saying she could use some advice.

"From what I gather, Penny here is having issues with Leonard," Amy announced.

"Really? What happened?" Bernadette said moving to the edge of her seat waiting to hear all the riveting details.

"Come on bestie… let us help you," Amy said as she sat next to Penny on the couch squishing her in the middle so that she couldn't escape.

"Amy's right, it wouldn't be fair if we didn't return the favour, especially after you helped me with Howard and that tramp of a troll!"

"Fine," Penny let out a long sigh, "As we were driving to Vegas to get married…"

"What!" Amy and Bernadette shouted out by the bombshell their blond friend dropped.

"Oh, yeah Sheldon was asking us why we hadn't set a date or made any arrangements for the wedding and well, we realized that we didn't really know why we were delaying the whole thing. We both made some excuses and then I suggested that we should just go do it. So we headed for Vegas." Penny explained. "Oh, and Amy, Sheldon considers these past five years or four to be foreplay…keep that in mind." she added.

"Thanks bestie, I will but I still don't understand why Sheldon would care so much," Amy said puzzled.

"I don't know either but he kind of made fun of us for going slow and then we were on the road," Penny said with a shrug.

"So what happened?" Bernadette asked now obviously captivated with all the drama and gossip.

"Well, as we were driving there I said something about being honest and Leonard got all quiet. Then he laid it on me…he confessed to kissing another woman while he was on that stupid boat trip in the North Sea!"

"Noooo way!" both girls were left stunned.

"Penny, that's terrible! You guys were dating then …oh that low- life creep!" Bernadette said as her voice slightly rose to the pitch of the late Mrs. Wolowitz.

"Yeah well, we drove all the way to Vegas but I just couldn't go through with it. I mean, I never had pegged Leonard as the type of man who would hurt me. I didn't say anything but knowing his lips touched some woman while we were together kind of stung, you know?"

The girls nodded in agreement, feeling sorry for their friend.

"He kept apologizing saying that it was the alcohol's fault," Penny continued explaining.

"Oh sure! Blame the alcohol…it's always the alcohol's fault!" Bernadette said gruffly.

"I mean, how can I trust him?" Penny spoke softly as a tear ran down her cheek. She wiped it away and said, "So, we have postponed the wedding indefinitely."

Amy put her arm around Penny's shoulders. She could tell that this was eating her up inside. All she and Bernadette could do was be there for Penny, give her a shoulder to cry on if she needed one.

"Do you love Leonard?" Bernadette quietly inquired.

"Of course I do." Penny said weepingly.

"Well, then just give it time. It took me a while to forgive Howie for his cyber sex indiscretions," Bernadette said consolingly.

"I know," Penny exhaled.

"Or… you could go out, get drunk and kiss some really hot guy," Amy suggested, her tone slightly too excited considering the circumstance.

Both girls turned their heads abruptly and glared at Amy, shaking their heads in disapproval.

"What? No?" Amy asked naively. "Okay then," Amy said as she backed away, putting her hands up in surrender.

After an hour of trying to comfort Penny and discussing the situation, Amy and Bernadette could only suggest time and forgiveness as the best solution. Penny realized it was her only option as well as she truly did love Leonard, plus a grovelling Leonard was pretty cute she admitted.

It was now eleven at night, so both girls decided the time had come to head home as all of them were working in the morning. Bernadette left first, giving her friend a tight hug.

Sheldon, who had been at his computer since Amy left, heard the door to 4B open and immediately got up in hopes of catching Amy on her way out. He opened the door only to find Bernadette walking towards the stairs. She gave him a frightful glare and started to speak, "You'd better treat Amy right or I will hunt you down, kill you and make it look like a freak accident…I know ways….." she hissed.

Sheldon turned white as a sheet. She may be small in size but her bark was definitely something to be weary of.

He nodded his head as he lowered his gaze. "Yes ma'am," he replied timidly and watched her go down the stairs.

About a minute of just standing there flummoxed, Amy came out and closed the door behind her.

"Sheldon?" she questioned, not expecting him to still be awake at that hour.

"I just thought you may have reconsidered my offer," he stated bashfully.

"Under other circumstances, I would have been overjoyed but staying tonight would be rushing things," she said winking her eye.

"Mocking me Dr. Fowler?" he asked sternly.

"Just a little," she replied coyly.

He closed the distance between them and took her face in his hands. He kissed her... much bolder than before, leaning her against the wall of the elevator shaft.

At that moment, Leonard appeared on the landing. He had to brace himself against the wall as the extreme public display of affection exhibited by his roommate was an overwhelming sight.

"Well, well, well … look who found first base," he said jokingly after regaining his composure.

Sheldon broke away from Amy and gave Leonard a look of derision before stating, "At least I keep my lips on my woman."

Leonard huffed and rolled his eyes as he entered the apartment, leaving the two love birds to their business.

"That was mean, well-deserved, but mean nonetheless," Amy commented.

"I haven't watched that man chasing after Penny for eight years so that he can ruin it by engaging in some inebriated lip lock with a woman he hardly knows." Sheldon replied shaking his head in disappointment.

"Well, we all make mistakes sometimes but I think that Penny will eventually forgive him because she loves him"

"I hope she'll forgive him sooner rather than later," Sheldon said with a hint of insinuation. Amy picked up on this subtle cue and she was going to use it to her advantage.

"Sheldon, are you referring to them… or us?" she asked mischievously.

"Both," he stated plainly as he looked down ashamed that it had come to this point.

"Oh, Sheldon, it's so sweet that you care so much. In time, things will work out for the best…for all of us," she added.

"Well, it's your fault that I have become this caring, affectionate person," he said flirtatiously.

"Just doing my part for humanity," she smirked back at him.

Watching her eyes light up and speak so playfully made Sheldon want to do things to her but instead he smacked her rear and wished her good night.

As Amy started her decent, Sheldon yelled, "Will I see you tomorrow… technically it's date night…"

"Send me the details and I'll think about it Dr. Cooper," she shouted back from the third floor landing and left feeling quite pleased with herself.


Well, what did you think? Next up, 4A... and then...we'll see where it can go from there.
