A/N: Short chapter, I know. Sorry. They'll actually be at SDCC soon. Love, love, love you guys. Thanks for reading.

Penny went down to do her laundry and Sheldon was in the laundry room. "It's not Saturday," Penny said in surprise.

"Yes. I'm aware of that, but I'm having to do an extra load of laundry due to an incident involving your boyfriend and some chocolate milk that I would rather not discuss," Sheldon informed her.

"Well, I'm glad you are here because I wanted to talk to you about Amy. I'm worried that she doesn't know how much you care about her. We were talking about the costumes and the trip and Amy said that she was doing it all for you."

"Well, I assumed that she was going because I asked her to. It's not like she has ever gone before. Aren't you going because Leonard asked you?" Sheldon asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not going because I'm hoping that he will like me better because of it. You told me that you were "quite fond of Amy." Do you ever tell her that?"

"Amy knows how I feel about her," Sheldon said, but he was obviously upset. He turned on the washing machine and stomped out of the laundry room. When he got up to the main level, he didn't continue going upstairs, instead he walked out the front door of his building and made his way to Amy's apartment.

He knocked on her door and hoped she was there. It wasn't really like him to show up without calling, but she opened the door and gave him a quick smile when she saw him.

"Hey. What a pleasant surprise. Come in. Do you want something to drink?" Amy asked, and walked into her small kitchen. After inspecting the choices, Amy said, "Looks like I need to go to the store. I have milk, one cream soda, water, and a YooHoo. You're in luck." Amy pulled out the YooHoo, poured it into a glass, and handed it to Sheldon. It was only then that she noticed he seemed to be a little upset.

"What's up?" Amy asked nervously.

"I don't want you to go to ComicCon with me if you are only doing it so that I will like you better."

"You talked to Penny," Amy said. It wasn't a question.

"So it's true?"

"No. It isn't. I knew she misunderstood what I said. I want to go to ComicCon with you. You know I wouldn't go if I didn't want to."

"Why don't you explain it to me," Sheldon said. He didn't seem relieved that she said she wanted to go to ComicCon.

"Well, I..." Amy started and then stopped. "Okay, so Penny and Bernadette aren't like me. They are pretty and blonde and had friends growing up. They had boyfriends too. I... I didn't," Amy said with a shrug like this wasn't hurting her to say. When it came to things like neurobiology or even literature, Amy didn't have any doubts, but when it came to things like interpersonal relationships, she felt a little helpless.

"I don't understand," Sheldon said.

"I told them that you thought I looked lovely in my Star Trek dress, so they think that is the only reason I'm going. So that you'll compliment me again. That's not why I'm going, Sheldon."

"Why are you going? I never thought to ask you," Sheldon said.

"It seemed important to you. I've found things that I want to go to as well, but you wanted me there and I couldn't turn that down. Especially not after I've seen your enthusiasm about it."

"It is. Important, I mean. That's why I wanted you to come so badly. That's why I suggested bringing you and Penny and Bernadette."

"You suggested bringing us?"

"I thought that you might be more likely to come with if Penny and Bernadette came too."

Amy was stunned. She had been under the impression that Sheldon was taking her to ComicCon so that he wouldn't be bored while the others spent time with their significant others. Instead, he was the one who wanted her to go because he wanted to share it with her. Plus, he had organized it in the way that she would be the mostly like to actually come with.

"Don't worry about it, Sheldon. I'm coming because I want to. Seriously, if you try to keep me from my panels, I'll have to hurt someone. I'm genuinely excited about it," Amy told him.

"I am glad. You are my friend and my girlfriend, so I am very happy to be sharing this with you. That's all I needed, so I guess I'll be going home. I left my laundry."

"But it's not Saturday."

Sheldon sighed. "Yes. I'm aware of that, but I'm having to do an extra load of laundry due to an incident involving Leonard and some chocolate milk that I would rather not discuss."

"Well, then. Would you like a ride home?"

"No. I can take the bus. I've taken up enough of your evening," Sheldon said before getting up and leaving without another word.

"What kind of incident involved Leonard and chocolate milk that he would rather not discuss?" Amy asked herself once she was alone again.

Sheldon got back in time to move his stuff into the dryer. Penny had disappeared, but Sheldon wasn't sure he wanted to talk to her anyway. He thought she was probably just looking out for her friend, but he didn't like her meddling in his relationship with Amy.

Staying in the basement, Sheldon thought about what Penny said. Obviously she had been off the mark in saying that Amy was only going to make him happy, but he wondered if there wasn't something there. Maybe he didn't let Amy know how important she was to him. She now knew that he suggested a major change to the trip for her. He hadn't intended on letting that slip, but he was glad that she knew.

The guys were a little surprised when Sheldon suggested bringing the girls. He didn't come right out and say that he wanted Amy there so that he could show it to her. Instead, Sheldon just mentioned that they might viewed as socially superior than those without girlfriends, which upset Raj. Still, Leonard agreed that they should at least ask, and somehow the girls were included in the plans from there on out.

Sheldon found that making something look like it was Leonard's idea sometimes made things easier for the group to accept. It was frustrating because Sheldon had so many good ideas that went unused because he couldn't figure out a way to make them look like they came from Leonard. At least this one worked out so far.
