Part 3 Presents
Leonard knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for the answer.
"Can I come in?"
"Why have you asked?" said Sheldon turning to him. "You have already entered. You'll never stop asking stupid questions".
Leonard took a deep breath. Just stay calm…
"Let's think you said "yes".
He sat down on the bed next to Sheldon.
"I couldn't imagine you would be so disappointed, buddy".
"It was obvious. Time travelling is the biggest dream of my life. Except Nobel prize, of course".
"Good choice".
"You're wrong. I can't make a good choice. I'm not ideal, remember it", noticed Sheldon in a caustic tone.
"Listen, I didn't mean it. You and Amy have different interests, and she can consider your present as useless".
"Useless? Aragorn's sworn can't be useless! You're kidding, Narsil is perfect. She'll be enchanted with it".
"It seems that I'm talking to the wall", Leonard muttered.
"So, let's finally make a choice and order the gifts", said Howard to guys.
"Why should we order them all together?" asked Sheldon.
"It's easy", answered Howard. "I'm Jewish; I always try to save on delivery".
"Clever", agreed Raj.
"Actually, it's better to have them delivered here. I can't take it home. Bernadette will find out".
Leonard glanced at him.
"So you aren't afraid that Penny can notice it, are you? What if I don't want to spoil my surprise too?"
"C'mon", remarked Sheldon, "she noticed your new shoes only after a month when she occasionally dropped her keys on the floor".
"Anyway, I won't give her Aragorn's sword", answered Leonard.
"I think she has nothing against Aragorn".
"Or Legolas, because the hobbit is not quite the one, you know".
"Look who's talking. You are the shortest in our company!" shouted Leonard.
"I'm going to give Bernie the key for dwarf's kingdom; it's very romantic, so you can whistle for it!"
Everyone was going to have dinner. Raj and Emily were getting late.
"Is this a very special date?" Bernadette asked Penny laying out the plates.
"Of course, it is".
"Well, I like it. It's much better than our last date with Sheldon", added Amy.
"Where did you go?"
"Nowhere. To be honest, Sheldon decided to watch first Star trek inside his head while I had to spend all the time beside him".
Leonard made a gesture for silence.
"Ladies, please, pay attention. I'd like to explain why we have decided to meet together. The first night of "Hobbit" is coming…"
"To be correct, the first night of "Hobbit" third part is coming", pointed out Sheldon.
"Right, thank you Sheldon. So, the premiere is coming, Christmas is coming, and we decided to…"
"We decided to watch previous "Hobbit" parts together!"
"Thanks, your comments are very useful", interpolated Howard. He turned to Bernadette holding a little box in his hands. "We know how it's difficult for you to bear all our hobbies. We'd like to show how much we love and appreciate you, so this is for you".
He offered the box to his wife.
"What is that?" asked she opening the box.
"We wanted to present you some souvenirs from the movie", Leonard gave his present to Penny.
"It can sound great if we delete phrase "souvenirs from the movies", Penny smiled.
Bernadette took out Thorin's Key.
"Thorin's Key. It's the key for dwarf's kingdom. It's as huge as my love for you. I want it to be with you, like a key from my heart".
"Oh, Howie, it's so beautiful!"
Before she kissed him, Howard managed to say to Leonard: "I told you I would be the best".
Sheldon was giving his present to Amy while Leonard was paying attention to Penny. She took out Arwen's Evenstar.
"It belongs to Arwen, pendant which she gave to Aragorn as a reminder of their love".
"Right", commented Howard to Bernadette. "Woman gives her jewelry to the warrior. Good comparison".
"And I got Galadriel's crown!" cried Amy putting it on her head. "I'm a real queen and I can start my crown collection!"
"And I – continue my sword collection!" said Sheldon taking out Narsil, Aragorn's sword. "Who choose the best gift, ah?"
Raj and Emily entered the room.
"Sorry, we are late".
"Raj told me about the presents idea", continued Emily. "And gave me this!"
She showed Tauriel's pendant.
Amy and Bernadette froze on their spots.
"They are almost identical!" she whispered to the girls. "There are so similar! Almost the same!"
"Storm is coming", said Amy to Bernadette.
"I'm sure she knew everything! I hate her so much!"
Penny started to eat avoiding everyone's looks.
"May be, Sheldon should take his sword away from Penny".
Sheldon noticed their discussion and thought girls were discussing the upcoming movie.
"I'm excited too. Oh, this night is gonna be ideal!"
