"Does anyone have a sick bag I can borrow?"

Sheldon woke up to a female voice next to him, and it wasn't Amy's as she was still asleep on his shoulder. He reluctantly turned to see Leonard had swapped seats with Leslie Winkle, and she was looking at him with a grin on her face.

"Pardon?" He said as politely as he could.

"You and your little girlfriend asleep on each other, it makes me want to vomit."

"Oh shut up, look you've woken her." Sheldon said as Amy stirred and looked up at them bleary eyed.

"Oh, hi Leslie." She said sleepily.

"Hello Amy. How's your dumbass boyfriend treating you?"

"Hey!" She said, sitting up properly and rubbing her eyes. "Don't talk about him like that."

"Mean isn't she!" Sheldon said indignantly. "I've been trying to tell you that for years!"

"Yeah sorry about that. Now listen, please be civil with each other because- no, quiet Sheldon- you're no angel either, don't even try that with me."

Sheldon had tried to interrupt his girlfriend but she was too quick.

"If I have to listen to you two bickering all the way there I will personally throw you out of the plane. Understood?" She said, looking at them both who were stunned into silence.

"Yes ma'am." Sheldon said quietly.

"Only if he's nice too." Was Leslie's reply.

"Right that's settled then!" As Sheldon opened his mouth to speak. He didn't realise how sharp Amy could be. He reluctantly shut it again, and checked the screen on the chair in front of him.

"Do we really still have 4 hours to go?"

"No, you just can't read properly." Muttered Leslie as she started flicking through a science magazine she brought with her.

Sheldon heard this comment, but after a stern look from Amy he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to where Leonard had moved to.

"Leonard why did you move?" Sheldon said.

"Do you know how much you fidget whilst you're sleeping? I have bruises all down my right hand side." He said, rubbing his right arm. "Anyway, I could use some proper entertainment."

"And what do you mean by that!?" Sheldon exclaimed. "Are you talking about mine and Leslie's bickering?"

Leonard laughed. "Duh."

Sheldon went into a huff, moving as close to Amy as possible.

On the row in front, Emily and Penny were comparing make-up and various beauty products they'd bought in the duty free. Raj was bored stiff. As much as he loved talking about beauty products, and skin care products that made your skin as soft as a baby's behind, an hour of non stop chatter was boring him to death. In an attempt to break the girls up, he asked if he could swap with Emily.

"Why?"

"You have more leg room. I feel like I've been sat here for years, and I want to stretch out and go to sleep. Please?" He gave her his very best puppy dog eyes. As Emily was about to reply, she looked down at the makeup on her lap, and a malicious thought flashed through her mind. She looked at Penny, then at the makeup, then at Raj, then grinned. Penny understood and winked.

"Yeah I suppose." Emily said in a pretend huff.

"Thankyou beautiful." He said, kissing her on the cheek as she slipped under him to the window seat.

Raj stretched out (he hadn't been lying, there was a little extra leg room), and shut his eyes. Once he started snoring slightly, the girls set to work.

"Oh my god I'm so bored." Howard moaned. His wife looked at him and sighed.

"You have a bag full of gadgets, a tv screen, magazines, books and people. HOW can you be bored?"

"I just want to be there already. Apparently girls dig the American acc-" he stopped short as Bernadette glared at him. "Oops. Sorry ma-aa gorgeous wife." He said sheepishly. He turned to look at Leonard. "Christ I'm tired."

Leonard just laughed and closed his magazine. "Want a game of Star Trek Snap?"

"Do I?!" He said, grinning as his friend retrieved the cards from his bag.

"Anything from the trolley?"

Raj awoke to one of the stewardesses staring down at him, holding a trolley of tea, coffee and biscuits. He yawned and rubbed his eyes, not noticing the bright blue powder on his knuckles, and smiled up at the woman, rummaging in his pockets for some money.

"Can I have a tea, 3 sugars and some of those "custard creams" please?"

"Sure..." The woman said, giving him a slightly weird look as she poured his tea.

"I thought I'd be a little more English." He grinned at Emily, who smiled back but for an entirely different reason.

Once Raj had paid, the stewardess moved back to the others. He took a sip of his drink, and at once noticed the red lipstick mark he'd left behind. Penny noticed he spotted it and giggled.

"Lip bleeding Raj?"

"No that's lipstick..." He trailed off, and suddenly put his hand to his mouth. When he removed it, he realised he was indeed wearing lipstick.

He grabbed his tablet from his bag and turned on the camera. The screen showed an Indian painted doll. He had sky blue eye shadow that reached his eyebrows, and so much eye-liner he looked like a cross-dressed Cleopatra. His cheeks resembled rosy read apples, with blusher in a perfect red circle. His lips were coated in the reddest lipstick Penny owned, and Emily had outlined them in a black lip pencil.

Raj was fuming. He took a shaky deep breath and turned to look at Emily.

"Why." He asked, looking straight into her laughing, sparkling eyes.

"I thought it would be funny, and it is." She said, tears forming because of how much she was laughing.

Raj looked at himself again.

"You could have at least done it nicely!" He said sighing. After taking a selfie with his girlfriend and friend (on his tablet so it wouldn't go any further), Penny gave him a packet of baby wipes and he wiped his face clean.

Soon enough, England could be seen from the windows, and it was time for their descent into London's Heathrow airport. The plane did a smooth curve giving the group a good view for photos, and the fasten seatbelt sign came on.

"Look Sheldon! It's the River Tens!" Amy said, pointing at the river that ran through the large city.

"Thames Amy, it's Thames. But yes, and they must be the Houses of Parliament." He pointed at a large building that sat by the river.

"It is." Said Raj, turning round. "Did you know that sewers were only built everywhere after the Great Stink of 1858? Yeah, it was a really hot summer and all the waste was shoved in the Thames, so the heat made the smell worse. It got into the Houses of Parliament and sewers were decided to be built to stop the smell."

"Interesting Raj." Amy smiled.

"Yeah, I've done my research." He grinned.

The airport came into view, and the plane finally touched English soil. Everyone clapped and cheered as the Captain made his final announcement over the tannoy.

"It is now 6:13am. Welcome to Heathrow, London."
