Hello again! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I haven't been too well and haven't had any motivation to do anything really.

Anyway, this chapter is mainly Sheldon, and there are some cute Shamy moments too :D Enjoy, and feel free to leave a review!

"You're sat in rows 4,5 and 6, on the left hand side." The stewardess smiled.

"Thanks." Leonard replied, and moved out the way so Sheldon could go choose his seat.

Once his precious place had been chosen (the middle seat on row 5- that way he was in the middle of everyone, and only one person had to climb over him if they needed the toilet, and he only needed to climb over one person too), the others chose their seats. Amy sat by the window next to Sheldon as she was "less likely to need the toilet". On the other side of Sheldon was Leonard, then infront of him was Penny, then Emily, then Raj. Bernadette was sat at the window seat in row 4, behind Amy, and Howard was next to her. Sheldon found out with much distaste that next to Howard, however, was Leslie Winkle, as she had no-one to sit with.

"Hello dumbass." She said in Sheldon's direction as she sat herself down. The physicist completely ignored her, and busied himself with the safety manual that he insisted all his friends read.

Once everyone was seated, the captains voice filled the cabin.

"Hello members of Caltech University and welcome to today's 9 hour flight to Heathrow, England. I am Captain Phillips and I will be your pilot today. The estimated time of arrival will be 2:12pm our time, 6:12am London time. Now, if you care to listen, I will talk you through the safety announcements."

The university listened carefully as the captain spoke of what to do during a crash, and watched as the stewards and stewardesses indicated where the nearest exits are, how to fasten a seatbelt, and how to work a life jacket. Sheldon listened, but only to refresh his memory. He'd watched all the safety videos there were on planes on YouTube, as he had never been on one before.

The demonstrations were soon over, and the plane was roaring into life. It manoeuvred its way to the runway, and set off, gathering speed as it went, going faster and faster and faster. Sheldon didn't like this sensation. Not one bit. He closed his eyes and clutched the armrests either side of him for dear life.

Amy was looking out the window, watching the world rush by in a blur. She turned to see her boyfriend who was now pale faced, and had a death grip on his armrests, knuckles turning white.

"Sheldon it's ok." She said quietly in his ear. He didn't move.

His girlfriend felt sorry for him and put her hand on his, expecting him to flinch away. However, he didn't flinch at all. He let go of the arm rest and latched on to her hand, just as the plane left the ground. She rubbed his a little in a soothing way, and watched as the houses and cars became smaller and smaller beneath her.

Penny turned round to talk to Leonard, but saw Amy and Sheldon's hands and "aw"'ed at them. Leonard had no idea what she was on about, but when he saw what Penny had spotted, he grinned. Sheldon Cooper scared of taking off in a plane. That one wasn't going to go in a hurry, Leonard thought, i'll make sure of that.

One Sheldon heard the seatbelt sign ping off, he opened his eyes and let go of Amy's hand. He looked out of the window to see a sea of fluffy white clouds, and a sky so blue and bright it almost blinded him.

"Are you ok now?" Amy asked.

"Yes thankyou." He said quietly. "It looks very pretty."

"It does. Sheldon, have you never flown before?"

"Um, no." He replied, "I've seen videos and documentaries on them but not actually been on one. It's like Penny's driving but worse." He replied.

With the last comment, Penny turned around and glared at him before going back to her magazine.

Around half an hour into the flight, and everyone had become more comfortable. Bernardette and Howard were both asleep on each other, Amy was reading a neurobiology paper on her iPad, Sheldon and Leonard were both playing Bejewelled on the screens on the seats infront of them, Penny was working her way through hers and Emily's magazines, and Emily and Raj were watching advertisements for different places in London on their seat screens.

All their activities, however, were interrupted when one of the stewardesses brought round a trolley containing the breakfast meals.

"Here you go misses, sir." she said politely as she reached Penny, Emily and Raj.

"What is it?" Penny asked, putting away her magazine.

"As far as I know, a full English breakfast." She smiled, placing then on Penny's tray to pass to the couple next to her.

"Fitting." Said Penny with a smile.

The woman handed out the meals, but when Sheldon opened his, he looked at it in disgust.

"Ugh, looks disgusting. The review sights for flying did warn about the food." He said looking down his nose at it. "Do you want mine Amy?"

"No thanks Sheldon, I could only manage one." She smiled. "Just try it, you can't judge a book by its cover!"

"No it looks revolting."

"Just one bite? Otherwise I'll keep asking!"

He looked at it again and hesitated. "Ok, one bite."

He stuck his plastic fork into one of the sausages, and cut the smallest piece imaginable. He placed it in his mouth and chewed.

Though he didn't want to say it didn't taste too bad.

"It's horrible and I've already had breakfast. However, I don't want to seem rude." He said, before starting on the bacon.

Amy just laughed to herself and started on her food. Always wants to be right, she thought to herself.

Not long after the group finished their airplane food, that surprisingly wasn't as bad as they'd originally thought, the plane encountered some turbulence. Now, having eaten 2 breakfasts and some Pringles, washed down with a glass of milkshake and a can of Lemonade, this wasn't a good situation for Sheldon, who soon went very pale. He turned to Leonard.

"Leonard I feel nauseous. Can you please move so I can visit the toilet?"

"Sheldon the fasten seatbelt sign is on, you can't get out of your seat."

"But I think I'm going to v-" He suddenly stopped what he was saying, gipped, and covered his hand with his mouth quickly. He looked at his friend, eyes wide with fear and urgency. Leonard grabbed the paper bag from the pocket on the seat infront of him, and opened it for Sheldon. He took it quickly, and soon filled it with the contents of his stomach.

Amy had noticed something was wrong, and as soon as her boyfriend started vomiting she rubbed his back in smooth, soothing circles. The group saw he was being sick and immediately started "ew"-ing and holding their noses. Amy was the only one who wasn't.

When he had finished, Amy gave him some water, and then her and Leonard went to sleep. Sheldon watched his girlfriend for a little while, noticing all the little things he hadn't before- the way her face relaxes when she's sleeping, how rosy and round her cheeks are, how beautiful her lips look. He was filled with an emotion he didn't have much experience with, but knew he liked- love.

After quickly checking Leonard was still asleep, he kissed Amy on the top of her head, and whispered "thankyou". She stirred a little and nestled into him. He didn't try move her, but instead rested his head on hers and he too drifted off.
